Lol, Donnie dipshit couldn't even drop a basket of fries without help. Probably too busy dropping a duce in his Huggies

He said this when asked whether he thinks she worked at McDonald's

“I know she didn’t. We checked it out,” the former president said. “They said she never worked here. She even picked the store. We went to the manager. The manager’s been there forever. ‘You remember her. No, she never worked here.’”

This is fucking hilarious. Harris is 60 this month. She says she worked there as an undergrad so let's be generous and say 21. That means that it was 38-39 years ago. So the manager must be at least mid 60s. Which I just kinda doubt. Seems crazy that a manager of McDonald's from the mid 80s is still working at the exact same McDonald's as the manager. And if they are the exact same manager, there has probably been hundreds of people who have worked there in the last 40 years, I doubt they remember any of them.

Edit:not teens, during undergraduate, numbers updated

I don't know why anyone should give a fuck even if Harris lied about working at McDonald's. If she lied, the lie is so soft it neither compares against the worst things she's done nor does it register against Donald's absolute tsunami of falsehoods.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 hours ago

Well yea, we know he lied, why don't his voters care? I would care if someone lied so brazenly to me all the time.

Trump put on an apron and took pictures for the media of him working behind the counter scooping fries. The guy has uncontrollable anal leakage to the point that he has to sit on pads so he doesnt stain couches, but Mcdonalds let him into the food prep area to touch peoples food???

WTF, mcdonalds. First you give away free food to the IDF, and now you quite literally smear shit on food for a photo op?

The towel/couch thing is not true. It looked like it on the pic and there were memes about it, but in the video it's clearly just his ridiculously long suit ties.

Trump has a million other valid things to mock, don't mock the debunked stuff or we're no better than Fox News.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 minute ago

I dont see that it has been debunked. Do you have info you can show me please? Old people wear diapers. It happens. I am quite literally taking care of 2 elderly adults who wear diapers right now. 45% of elderly wear diapers, and yes, you do smell them at times. In this case neither of us can prove or disprove his continence.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I would never have known Harris worked at McDonalds, but Trump will not shut up about it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He just can't accept the thought of some peasant fast food worker making their way to the top

[–] bradinutah 8 points 6 hours ago

...and him being the one losing to her.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

He's just such a fucking reegard

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

A very good way of getting him elected again, is to give him publicity.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Make him clean the bathroom.

Edit bonus: He's a germaphobe, it'll be hell for him in ways beyond what you or I would experience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago

I immediately thought of this, and wished I lived in the area just so I could go leave the most devastating shit in one of those toilets.

Soon:

This just in, a Pennsylvania McDonald's has been shut down for violating numerous health codes during and after Donald Trumps visit. What officials described as a "cloud of fecal bacteria" descended upon the building upon Trumps entrance, and has lasted many weeks since, even after a building fumigation. Officials say the McDonald's in question may have to be condemned.

McDonald's refused questions about whether or not their ice cream machine was in operation.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago

Everything, huh?

*Unzips

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Why is he going to a McDonald's to pretend to be working for a couple of minutes, what is that supposed to prove, or disprove? The theatre called politics in the US can be quite baffling.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

I was wondering this, as well. Apparently Kamala says she worked at McDonald's previously and Trump claims that she's lying. Since that matters for some reason, he's working at McDonald's to draw attention to the alleged lie.

I think that's what's happening, but don't take the above as gospel.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

guy couldnt sit through a one hour interview, theres no way he spends more than 5 minutes in the back of that mcdonalds. and as far as doing anything? no way. they are going to demo all the equipment while he pretends hes helping.

its like taking your toddler to work.

[–] bradinutah 5 points 6 hours ago

Hmm. No, not qualified to work at McDonald's. But don't feel so bad. Not everyone can pass the background check and keep the sexual harassment policy.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

This is his most absurd photo op yet. I do not believe he is certified to handle food. If he doesn't know how not to contaminate food then he'd be putting the health of customers in danger.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Coming soon "orange cheese dusted Big Mac"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Lordy, I hope there are tapes!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

Unedited preferably.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Instead of cooking the fries he'll give them a hit of his spray tan

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

His down smash is a charged AOE cloud around him - max 5m and 30% max damage charge, no falloff

Someone get several barrels or disinfectant ready to clear out that bathroom.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I hope it’s a few hours long too. Not just 5 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I hope he dips his penis in the fryolater.
