I mean, I think they technically can't during the shutdown.

But noted billionaire Donald Trump, when having to pay for food from his own pocket, spent $50 to get some fast food.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

1) Trump 'caters' fast food at the White House and can't even be bothered to stock some Chick-fil-a for the Evangelical/Southern crowd lol

2) How much you wanna bet some random synapse firing made Trump remember the Warriors and Browns standing him up and he decided to go extra cheap 'just in case'.

3) At some point someone had to decide whether to present the food boxed or unboxed and decided to preserve a tiny shred of dignity and leave the limp soggy burgers unseen.

As you know, there are many people working from within Trump's administration to improve it. These are the real heroes.

Which is also weird because thats like $1500 of fast food and you really could cater for cheaper at that point. Maybe Donald just doesn't know how much things cost and thinks fast food is just cheap?

Why is the president wearing a heavy coat indoors?













It's because he's fat as poo poo and is trying to hide it, but still what in the gently caress.

It's surprising in that a poll got such a lopsided result. Even if you polled opinions on prostate cancer you might not see 89% thumbs-down.

It's not saying 89% oppose the wall, it's saying 89% didn't have their opinion changed.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of the 2% that answered "yes" didn't understand the question and thought they were expressing support for the wall.


And thus 2019 was the year that dad jokes escaped into reality to begin their blood-soaked rampage.

I think part of it is that Trump is basically an IRL internet troll which none of the olds running for president have any experience dealing with. Anyone who isn't 400 years old and is halfway intelligent isn't going to fall for that poo poo.

In a way Trump's addiction to posting makes him more culturally similar to people our age (like AOC) and we deal with that kind of poo poo every day.

That's honestly far stronger of a statement than I'd have expected. It's far too little too late, but after years of mamby pamby weak condemnations I'll take it.

And most Ironically I think peak-goonfleet leadership would be more competent at administering any given department then the trump appointees. They may be poopsocking nerds but the lot of them managed a whole lot of lovely video game logistics.

The thing that always cracks me up about Trump appointees is that for the most part the hard stuff, actually running the department, is done by career folks that aren't going anywhere when the administration changes over. Yet somehow they manage to gently caress that up in the most spectacular way possible by hiring insanely toxic people that purge all the career folks. Then the department/office/etc. falls apart. You couldn't do a more effective sabotage if you tried.

People loyal to the government aren't loyal to one specific authoritarian leader, so competence is frequently punished.
