That franchisee is about to lose it all. McD Corporate isn't going to like their brand being associated with politics in either direction. This type of stunt is likely prohibited by his franchise agreement. Of course the franchisee, being a Trumper, will whine about how he’s being persecuted for his beliefs.

His brain is so fried that he doesn’t even realize that this ship has sailed long ago.

Combine that with 40 years of Republicans slashing education funding and you’re on to something.

the team will 25th his ass

That’s what they should do in that situation, but in reality, there’s no chance. The bar is too high.

From the 25th Amendment:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Trump would have a cabinet full of true believers and yes-men. There’s no way that more than half would be on board to jettison him. The Congressional cure is also a non-starter. If Trump were to win, there would probably also be a Republican-controlled Congress, and we all know that Congressional Republicans have zero spine when it comes to standing up to daddy.

Watching that video, Stone is either in the midst of a mental health crisis or has had a generous helping of Bolivian marching powder. Either way, what a weirdo.

It’s not that bad. A traditional yogurt-making practice is to put a couple ants into some milk. The microorganisms and enzymes that the ants introduce helps kick off the fermentation of the milk, turning it into yogurt.

There shouldn’t be billionaires, let alone billionaire preachers.

I feel like it would be more realistic to repeal the Apportionment Act of 1911. At the very least, it would correct the massive inequality in congressional apportionment. It would also increase the number of electors in the largest states, which would mostly benefit democrats.

Yes, it’s a reference to George Papadapolous, a national security adviser to Trump who had extensive contact with the Russians, including working on setting up meetings between Trump and Putin. He was then caught lying to the FBI about these contacts. When the news came out, Trump dismissed his one-time advisor as a “low-level coffee boy.”

Low-level coffee aide

Edit: If you missed the reference, read up on George Papadopolous.

As I remember it, this was after a rally that was billed as being the biggest ever, but in fact K-Pop fans figured out how to game the ticketing system, and as a result the rally was empty.

Don’t listen to those weak-kneed pencil-pushers, Mark! Stay in the race. You’re helping deliver the Governor’s mansion to Josh Stein and hopefully NC’s electoral votes to Harris-Walz!

My money's on the classic “dead girl or live boy.”

As odious and obnoxious as Cruz is, let’s face it: he’s running for state-wide office in Texas. I don’t want him to, but he’s pretty likely to win.

LaCivita is probably looking at some internal polling for DJT that looks pretty terrible. He’s probably figuring that if he bails out now, he can avoid having a loss on his resume, and also gain a win.

In Texas, it’s easier to vote by mail if you’re in fucking space than if you’re in a black ZIP code.

“bOtH sIdEs!” - The leader of a religion that has a well-documented, 1000-year history of sexual abuse, torture, turning a blind eye to genocide, and actually committing genocide.

Is it the additional data you give them to enter the giveaway?

Basically. You’re telling TP-Link that you’re a business that’s interested in selling their products. In return, their Sales team now has your information and can pester you tell you all about the latest TP-Link products.

Additionally, they’re putting their products directly in the hands of customers who could become even bigger customers. If you, as a company, decide you like the product, then you’re probably going to buy more of said product.

Finally, TP-Link is being selective about who gets the freebie—they’re not just handing them out willy-nilly. From the fine print:

Offer valid only for SolutionX partners. One Insight S445 (2.8mm) camera per qualified SolutionX partner. Approval is required, and TP-Link reserves the right to verify applications

So there’s probably some sort of “legitimacy threshold” you have to clear in order to get the goodies.

Everyone on the left who complains about the lack of choice in elections should take note of which party these three politicians are from.

I assure you, Republicans are happy to let first-past-the-post and two-party rule continue until they’re finally able to seize all the levers of power. The only feasible way to give third parties any power whatsoever is to take your medicine and vote for Democrats.

More conspiracy theory bullshit about Hunter Biden.

Why does this motherfucker keep getting to interrupt?!!
