    The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD’s and KFC for 4 years.

      I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

          Lol Trump doesn’t pay his bills. He still owes several cities from campaign rallies he held in like 2015. He’s infamous for not paying his bills, and was so for decades before he became president.

          There is no chance that Trump paid for this.

          White House chefs who prepare the president’s meals are paid by the government.

          I am confused by this. He pays his meals, but the chefs are paid by the government? So he only pays for the ingredients?

            Would he? I’m terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.

            As bad as Trump is, I’m almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either “I have got to get in on this” or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "

      Wait. Why would you think that? It’s a mildly prestigious post. Sure, it’s honorable, but it’s certainly not something that anybody with any type of creative flair would ever aspire to. It’s a labor of 24/8 type love.

    This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸’Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

    So does he have a mini McDonald’s on his plane? Because that shot doesn’t have the best heat retention, so if he doesn’t have one then that’s some cold as or horribly reheated McDonald’s.

      this is how you choose to spend the limited time you have

      My guess is that these guys saw someone like Bernie coming down the line at some point, a populist left wing politician who would have basically ended the billionaires free-for-all in america, and they said ‘well we gotta take over the entire government to stop this’, and people fell for it.

      Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.

      We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

      Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.

    Pete Strzok, now podcast cohost of Cleanup On Aisle 45 commented that seeing RFKjr in this pic reminded him of the old drug-cartel vetting practice of getting the new guy to sample the product (by nose or freebase, usually) to show that they’re true undergrounders and not a law-enforcement plant.

    In fairness to him, he looks genuinely uncomfortable just holding it for this paid publicity shot. Not enough raw bear meat in it for him.

    Boycott McDonalds, sponsors of Fascism 2025.

          I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: you can fault McD for a lot of things. You can argue that the products aren’t to your taste, or subpar in regards to nutrition. But food safety is something that the clown takes extremely serious.

          I’ve gotten sick from burger king. Once I had to decide what I’d rather wipe off the floor, because it was coming out both ways after eating Carl’s Jr. But I’ve never been poisoned by McDonald’s, nor have I talked to someone who has either.

          Last time I went on this rant, a former McDonald’s employee commented about food safety practices. They told how if you went to the bathroom and came back multiple people would ask you if you remembered to wash your hands. Not like this specific commenter, but that was just what they did to everyone. If you came in sick, you would be sent home with pay (I believe this was in the US, so it was actually extraordinary).

      Under fascism, all corporations become an extension of the government. Those that refuse to are nationalized or eliminated.

          Because under communism you’d get a redistribution of wealth to everyone. In Trump’s case the redistribution is the inverse. The methods differ a bit too. During a communist revolution the redistribution is done by the people, and sometimes quite violently. Trump’s redistribution is more subtle than that, and is going to involve marketing, laws and last, but certainly not least, government procurement contracts.

          I’d bet that if mcdonalds sucked the old cheesepuff enough, they could get a lucrative contract for MREs. Or an exclusive contract for restaurants in military installations.

          Get ready to see big corporations lining up outside the Whitehouse with knee pads and a box of tic tacs.

      Elon’s far from mindless. He’s just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.

      Yeah. Fuck.

      He’s potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn’t want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he’s very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.

      And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don’t think he’d think twice.

        Kennedy did a shit ton of acid when he was young. I assume mushrooms as well. He would be the happiest of all of them to trip at the White House.

            I love it, but just a quibble. I’ve always understood the “set” in “set and setting” to be the set of people you’re with. Couldn’t be much worse of a set. But an experienced pyschonaut like Kennedy should be about to power through.
