Yep, at least in my area McDonalds is slow, expensive and the foods is consistently crappy. About the fast food place I have a lower opinion of is the local Wendys, because they haven't mastered the skill of "Let the buns from the fridge reach room temperature before serving them to customers." A lukewarm patty on a refrigerator cold bun isn't very appealing.

And all but one of those children were born male. IMO dudes using IVF to sire his children as well as select for only male children.

I know, but but even so the whiplash move from "best buddy" to "enemies list" (and probably back again after this capitulation) should tell anyone who wants to ally with Trump what a futile of a move that is. It doesn't matter how much you schmooze him, how give him, or how much he owes you; the moment you're not useful to him Trump will throw you under the bus.

Maybe this will show him that you can't buy Trumps loyalty because he has no loyalty. However, I have my doubts that even Trump going from going from "My good buddy Bezos" to "Amazon is the enemy" in the course of a day will be enough of a object lesson for Bozos.

When we finally impose enough sales taxes upon Americans we will enter a golden age of prosperity where Americans will no longer need to pay taxes. Wait...

Are they followers of nurgle or something?

Hasn't that been obvious since their handling of COVID?

More the Dursleys IMO. She hates the people who don't conform to her view of normality.

She hates asexual people for the same reason she hates transgender people, they're not conforming to her view of normality.

Well, of course. I mean, could you imagine if people knew the things their government was doing? It'd be a disaster!

Pretty easy to think you’re winning the game when only you know the rules.

Oh, Trump doesn't know the rules either. Rules imply structure, Trump governs by "Because I wanna!"

Of course China is playing hardball, heck I wouldn't be surprised if they want to keep the Trump tariffs in place. Through his tariffs, inconsistency and idiocy Trump's drastically weakening the USA's power around the globe. Why would they want that to stop?

Sure China is losing money now, but they can see the end of the United States as a superpower on the horizon... and a world where China is the top superpower is worth a little pain now.

Yeah because that’s saved so much money and worked so well

It's hurt a lot of people though, and cruelty is the point.

So... given the "Every accusation is a confession" rule, what protests do you think he's funded?

Tim Blair, a spokesman for Acadia, said in a statement that the company had a zero-tolerance policy for behavior that could put staff or patients in danger. “We reject any notion that we put profits over patients,”

I reject your reality and substitute our profits.

Pretty sure he's already done that.

Saw this coming, that's why did my order before Trump was sworn in.

Ehh... natural food colorings are often a lot more allergenic then the artificial ones. So if somebody has a allergy to annato or cochineal some such this could be bad news for them.

What an amazing coincidence!

Quick, deport that think tank.

I saw a quote from some article that went something like "Trump doesn't know and doesn't care what soft power is, if it doesn't bruise he doesn't care about it" and thought it was the most succinct summary of his policies I'd ever seen.
