I love that he is appearing in front of A white house. Not THE White House but his base won’t care. The vibes are right, ya know?

Looks like he finally found the right Four Seasons. Good for him.
- Yea, but he showed up at the employee entrance and won't leave. They were in the middle of unloading the food truck too, no one got the complementary breakfast today
He looks like Great Value Candidate.
Or "Mom, can we have the White House?"
- No. We have a perfectly good White House at home!

Well crap, are there other companies I need to add to my list along with "Goya" for "never going to buy their products again?

As much as I'd love to be picky I'm barely hanging on here, I'm buyin whatever is on sale
- Hell yeah hang in there, I hope good times come your way soon. You deserve it!
- Please consider: shoplifting
- I try to stick to what's on sale, and go store brand when possible... except for cheese
Hate to show you this...but there's a shit ton of shitty companies
Edit- For some reason, I couldn't upload the higher res version, so here's a link. https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/stories/these-10-companies-make-a-lot-of-the-food-we-buy-heres-how-we-made-them-better/
- Well, technically there are a shit ton of shitty subsidiaries. There are only like six companies, period. Which is a problem in and of itself. And it turns out all six are shitty.
  ⭐️⭐️🌈✌️😘
- Going to need a higher resolution image, I can barely tell some of the brands on here
- You can add Pringles to the Mars tree
- To be honest, it's not so much shitty companies, but shitty purchasing decisions
  I wouldn't buy any products from any brands listed there because I know they're cheap, over-processed junk. Literally everything there.
  If you're buying that stuff because it's cheaper, you need to learn about nutrition. You can get far more calories/nutrients/minerals/protein from slightly more expensive products, costing you less overall
I'm still on the buycott for Kelloggs after they dropped breittbart so all I buy is special k. Unless they've changed something since then.
Edit. Looking it up, looks like they were doing alrightish but then they busted a union. On the other hand Post is working with trump, and general mills has been working with Israeli settlements. I guess you can go with some small brands. I'll still buy Kelloggs until I hear they change paths on breitbart since it's what I'd been doing.
- So you're boycotting Kellogg's by buying... Kellogg's cereal?
- Cereal is awful. Probably just avoid it altogether.

I'll never buy Maxwell House and Folgers again! I mean I never bought them previously...
Yeah I switched to Badia
Download the app GUU (Goods Unite Us ) it shows companies political contributions to which party. Or just look at the lemmy community !goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca

He's so sleepy looking and low energy

Didn't their previous sponsor, that pillow guy, go to prison?

Not yet, currently just super broke and attempting to pay for legal fees.

Wow, look at that guy. He's old and looks to be suffering from some form of cognitive disorder. Is he having a stroke? Is it dementia? Too much adderall? He should drop out and seek treatment. It's just sad.

Good time to see which politician companies support. Check out the lemmy community !goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca Or the app GUU (Goods Unite Us ) or site https://www.goodsuniteus.com/

Capitalists supporting capitalist supporters? I'm shocked.

This looks like a scene of a satire dystopian movie, like robocop or the running man...

It‘s literally Idiocracy
- Nope Idiocracy is far more optimistic.
  Remember, they found our someone was more intelligent so they gave him the job of fixing the country.
Or Idiocracy

Old man complaining about something with some trash nearby. That stuff isn't anything I would normally buy but I am for sure not buying any of it now.

I have bought Folgers and Maxwell House in the past when in a pinch but never will again. Fuck any companies that support fascism.
- Johnsonville, Jimmy Dean, Folgers, Maxwell house and Post cereals are now joining Goya, Amazon, Chic Fil A and Walmart on my boycott list.
I liked Johnsonville :(
- Aw man, goodbye Johnsonville beer boiled brats

"I am told, these things are groceries"

I didn’t watch it but my guess is the context is something like “all these groceries got more expensive under Joe Biden!” He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.

This man has never done his own groceries
- What can a box of cereal cost, $30?
Yet it's that fat fuck's lack of attention to pandemic profiteering that led to the inflation. The last 4 years have been trying to mitigate the effects of his half-assed handling of the situation.
- Isn't it always funny that the last 2 Democrat presidents inherited absolute economic shit shows from republicans and managed to turn things around only to be blamed for causing the problems that were left to them....
He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.
That's because of the lawsuits, not inflation.
Surely they wouldn't do that...
"Look at how expensive crooked sleepy Joe biden has made this trash. Who would even buy this."

His handlers told him to talk about more kitchen table issues, so he brought a kitchen table.

"And don't get me started on folding tables guys"
The crowd cheers and froths at the mouth
- They’re the work of the devil. They always used to say they fold, but now suddenly they’re tables? Are they tables or do they fold? Why don’t they know what they are?
"I think we actually need more tax. Putty Tacks, for school teachers! And Mexico should pay for them!"

hes standing next to what i eat!

hes got my vote!

As a European, I genuinely laughed. Then I remembered the deteriorating effect of US bullshit on my country and cried.

Time to boycott all those companies. Added to the list that includes Goya.

I don't know if those companies had any say in whether their products were used, but this wasn't supposed to be for advertising. It was supposed to be a gimmick for what was stated to be a message on the economy, but the orange atrocity personified saw a squirrel and the whole address ended up being the same whiny bullshit.
- Johnsonville certainly supports this, I'm not sure about the others. I boycotted Johnsonville for a long time because of their financial support for Walker in Wisconsin years ago.
Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire

America Decides…

MAXWELL HOUSE… or… FOLGERS!

Fr tho stable jenius looks real low energy lol

Screw the sissy coffee brands. I'm drinking the Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong this morning. And tomorrow I might have some Lumber Slut Shu Pu Er.
I only want products with a manly name!
I for one am excited for this new form of capitalism! The government picks one brand to be the national brand for everyone.
Hey, wait a minute...
- If you go far enough to the right, command economies become a cool idea again.

He's trying to appeal to boomers.

Nothing says boomer more than warm, raw Jimmy Dean's!

donOLD

Guess no more honey bunch of oats. I hope cheerios is good.

Sadly, there was also a box of Cheerios on the table, just not in this particular screenshot.
These are prrtty solid if you still want the oats and can find.them. https://www.cheerios.com/oat-crunch-cereals
- Or just don't buy shit over processed food.

Just letting us know what not to buy ever again

Goddamnit I liked honey bunches of oats.
- Good news! Post people donate heavily to Dems and not much to Republicans... Not sure about the dark money though... No idea why he's got breakfast there... Think he might be losing it
Any chance their campaign just randomly grabbed stuff from the grocery store and put them there? Not sure the companies approved of this display. They do the same thing with music at Trump rallies. They just assume they can use it.
- It’s from a clip where Trump is showing the price changes for the items everyday Americans purchase, there were more tables with toilet paper, bread, milk, cheese, etc. He was saying that Kamala Harris was responsible for how expensive everything got and that it would continue if she wins.
- Wtf is the message here supposed to be?
  "vote for fascism. Fascism has better coffee"
- They probably did... Folgers and Jimmy Dean are pretty right-wing, but Post gives mostly to Dems according to open secrets... I don't know about the others

That's just his normal breakfast.

I don't fucking believe you. No way that ass nugget eats anything resembling healthy. That pos probably has his cronies remove the non marshmallows from his lucky charms.
- That pile resembles healthy?

Eh that bitch sold beans from the oval office, we know he can be bought and sold on the cheap

Junk advertising by a weird junk candidate.

Him being sponsored by Folger's has the same energy as this parody of a real Folger's advertisment.

Damn, I was nodding along, accepting this as real, for way too long

You give me tax cuts for the rich, what little healthcare you have left, your reproductive rights, free elections, and the ability to commit felonies.

I give you, a pack of sausages and a tin of burnt coffee grounds.

Ah yes ~~instant~~ incest coffee

Folgers cofveve

Exhausted Don

Apparently the best part of waking up is donating to the GOP.

maybe that's who the incest commercial was targeting all along, the GOP.
- For those who have had the pleasure of never seeing the referenced commercial: https://youtu.be/uMwFWDIFVCU?si=NhgQ2NVTGxV1XeI2
  Also the follow up parody that isn't all that far of a stretch: https://youtu.be/CKgKPGBa9EQ?si=Brw1QPCopPMB5KOl

Folger's missed a great opportunity when coffee enemas became a fad. Slogan could have been "The best part of waking up, is Folger's up your butt."

Chock full o'Butts
- Starbutts and Donkin' could get in on it.

Imagine, product placement in politics!

Dude Goya did this
- I kinda like it when he does this. It lets me know which products to not buy. I skip over Goya when I'm looking for beans.

There are dozens more on a table to the left side out off camera. Is it confirmed these brands had any prior knowledge of are actually publicly backing trump?

I am fully aware the personal pocket books of the heads of these companies are deep for the GOP.

Yeah, I have no idea if this means something, or if Politics Gallagher there just brought out some props for “muh inflation” before smashing them with a sledgehammer.
- I would love to see Trump try to swing a sledgehammer.

It was the words in his latest "intelligence" test. Coffee, honey bunches of oats, sausage (jimmy dean & Johnsonville). He got 5/5 and is a certified apple genius now

It's not product placement. Trump's campaign staff is making a vain attempt to get Trump to talk about the issues rather than all the ineffective personal attacks and name calling.

They've been writing speeches to get Trump to talk about inflation. This time they added some props to force him to talk about how these items cost more now. Of course Trump only spent a few minutes saying something vague about inflation and then regressed back to his typical ramblings about how if Kamala gets elected the world will end or whatever.

Ideally this kind of message would work better if Trump was in a grocery store, but he doesn't venture from his two homes very often these days, so they set up a table in front of his Golf course so he could talk about it there. So it looks like product placement, but it's just a vain attempt to get Trump to deliver some kind of economic message.

He’s just trying to get PAC funding from General Mills or whoever the fuck makes that shit

It's all Monsanto if you go far enough.
Maxwell House and Folgers are owned by different companies. This isn't the same as the Goya thing from a while back.
- He's diversifying!

Haha the only thing they had to change between 2016 and now is replacing Pence with Vance and adding an exclamation point to the slogan.

...Holy shit... Is that why they picked Vance for VP? So they could save money on signs and shirts?

I think they just like to avoid multisyllabic words with their base.
- multi syllable names are for minorities, can't get the base confused on who to hate vs idolize!

How long till he wears a Spirit Halloween branded tie?

brought to you by carl's junior

This doesn't look like food. More like... plastic?

Makes me glad I don't buy Folgers

I thought the products were an illustration of how much food is in his colon. You know: why he's so full of shit.

God damn it Johnsonville are the only halfway decent bratwurst my nowhere grocery carries. Guess it'll be the rare time I find them at a farmers market.

GOD DAMN IT

I feel your pain!

That's how he gets his funding now.

It's the best part of waking up.

I can never separate Folgers from the commercial parody...
Edit: For the uninitiated

Well I'm not buying any of those products ever again. They're un-American.

Hey, cool, I use some of those! Not the coffee: wtf is with instant coffee? Do most people really still use that when a basic drip machine is so cheap and ubiquitous.

And the Jimmy Dean “Hot” is usually better tasting, unless you have someone who needs the mild

That's not instant, those are tubs of pre-ground coffee.
I'd take instant over those brands made in a drip machine though.
- What brands would you buy? I’m looking to branch out
Drip coffee takes too long and most people are too lazy/dumb to figure out how to schedule the coffee machine (if their machine even has that feature at all).
To maximize my sleep, I give myself a 15 minute window to get up and get to work. I don't drink coffee, but if I did, I'd go with instant. Just heat up the water and stir in the coffee mix. Takes less than 2 minutes.
- Add another 30 seconds and you could have had Aeropress.
- I have to admit to k-cups. Horribly wasteful with the packaging but oh so convenient and much better than instant
  I save my good coffee for the weekends when I can slow down and enjoy the process rather than impatiently wait

He’s showing you which products to never buy again

Did you smell like a corpse before the shower? That might explain the deadmans visage you see

Old man looks miserable. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy.

And again, let's talk about social security, with Folgers, social security can't fail. Social security will wake up every day to the gree aroma of Folgers coffee and Folgers coffee will bring up it's game! With Folgers coffee and honey nut Cheerios, well also fix all of our homeless. Honey nut Cheerios and Folgers for breakfast give the homeless the energy they need to get thru their day.

Needs more slurring and made up words. I give it a B-.
- Oh I wasn't trying to impersonate the president this time. That's illegal. Right? I mean I had this big big guy come up to me this morning, crying the big guy. He says, to me: daddy can you pass me the honey nut Cheerios please and Folgers. I'll never forget right? Because he was saying it. And when I heard it. When I heard it, it was big to me. Big news like Hilary's emails.

"And this is bacon, which you might find in a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich"

Perfect!!!!
Golf Clap
UK voters now have PTSD flashbacks

It's the best part of waking up.

covfefe in your cup
And you thought ads weren’t effective
- Advertising is what makes America great again.

Inflation!

It's a Trump. They spend an insane amount of money on marketing, but a bad product is a bad product.

https://youtu.be/8lgLYGBbDNs

Folgers is great

You just like sugar packets and or cream. No sane person actually likes the taste of that shit.
Edit: apparently a solid amount of Lemmy users fuck with Folgers.
- I'm not going to pretend Folger's is some fine luxury brand. I'm not going to pretend it's even good coffee. It's fine. Not great but fine.
  Is it shit? No, get your ratios right and it's fine. It's cheaper and better than a Starbucks cup. If you're going for black coffee, you can do worse.
- I’ve had forgers once and it was the most dirt tasting bullshit.
  I’m with you.
- I actually just like the smell of it brewing. Heavenly.
  Tastes like shit, though.
- I'd prefer to remain 'insane' in the eyes of terminally online degenerates that never leave the house.
Why is this guy being downvoted? Is there an implication of Folgers endorsing Trump? Is it implied that his liking Folgers is because of their Trump endorsement?
I'm genuinely asking, I'm hella out of the loop
- I think they’re just upset because they have different opinions on coffee
- See more at !goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca
- Because Folgers is horrendously disgusting, for one. Also I think it's being endorsed by trump here..
do you know where the door is or do you need an escort?
- For what?
