If something last happened in 1977, that’s not exactly relevant.

It's always just around the corner, and totally going to happen. Though at least this is one of the floating numbers it would be real cool to catch and surpass. Too bad we insist on continuing to fund Defense like Pearl Harbor happened last week. Any word on if he's still trying to buy votes with McGriddles, or has he upped the offer to biscuits?

Offering McDonalds cheeseburgers is insulting. I have never had a worse cheeseburger. I think I'd be less inclined to vote for someone who bought me one as a bribe.

Mmm boy, bet those things were just fantastic hours later when they were delivered to their recipients. Yep, McDonalds cheeseburgers. World renowned for how well they maintain their freshness.

Mcdonalds cheese burgers actually remain edible in the technical sense for a surprising amount of time, like you could go hiking for a few days with a sack full of them

I know it's popular to poo poo on McDonalds, but that cheese burger is 1.59. At that price, it's a pretty tasty snack. Way better than a candy bar. You're right about them being god awful cold.

mannerup posted:remember back in the day when they did the .29/.39 cent hamburger/cheeseburger deal and my family just buying a bag filled with them 1.60 for 300 calories is pretty good. I know this isn't healthy food, but it's filling. Although, is the cheeseburger all that bad? Looking at the cheeseburger, it's really just the fat and salt, but at those prices, might be one of your better options, at least from nutrients

Too bad we insist on continuing to fund Defense like Pearl Harbor happened last week. It's maddening to me because "fixing" social security is essentially as simple as eliminating the cap. Defense spending is equally frustrating because the entire model is centered around building things that murder people and destroy things and, once their built, someone needs to find a use for them. Hell, we've had things resembling clearance sales on the arms we manufacture basically because they sit around gathering dust otherwise. But any attempt to look at if we really need all this poo poo is always framed as "gutting the military".

How expensive can your "think nicely of me" vote bribe be before it becomes reportable? A bag full of $100 bills is obviously out, is a $30 bag of breakfast tacos for you and your staff allowed?

Man, instead of spending ~$1,500 for cold cheeseburgers he could have gone the extra mile and attach his nonsense words to something shelf stable and representive of his home state like... IDK Triple AAA Root Beer.

Snickers at least has millions of dollars of advertising convincing me of it's power as a good tasting hunger placebo.

Note and bag of food seems like more of a morning thing to me? McDonald's breakfast is fine and keeps okayish. If I came in to work and somebody said "There's a bunch of sausage McMuffins and hash browns on the table", I'd eat some
