Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Consistently wrong since 2002

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

He really is that stupid.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

“But what about the lurkers?”

Late Evening Bronx Man Open Thread: Would You Like A Coke With That?

You would think this would be Florida…

It’s hard to spend $10,900 at McDonald’s — but it’s easier if the restaurant is selling crack and cocaine in addition to McNuggets.

That’s exactly what McDonald’s night manager Frank Guerrero, 26, was caught selling when authorities arrested him this week at the franchise he’s worked at for eight years in the Bronx.

The arrest followed a three-month undercover investigation called “Operation Off the Menu.”

“Guerrero’s conduct was so blatant, it would be comical if he weren’t committing a serious narcotics crime,” Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan told the New York Daily News. “Ordering coke took on an entirely different meaning on the night shift at this McDonald’s.”

Open thread!

    I feel confident that whatever puns and jokes we come up with, the investigatory team has already thought of.

    Ii was trying to figure out why I’ve been in a crappy mood all week, and then I was like, “Oh, right, because 58 people were murdered and the Republicans don’t give a shit, plus people are trapped in Puerto Rico while Trump throws off-brand paper towels to them.”

    Not a good week, overall.

    I dunno, even the cops seem pretty impressed by Guerrero’s business savvy, though they don’t like his method. Too bad McDonalds couldn’t be bothered to promote him after he’d worked there for 8 years.

    There is a Florida, NY, although this wasn’t there.

    I spent the afternoon and evening helping with prep and painting at my son’s new apartment. Now I’m sitting here and my back is saying “aren’t you too old for this shit, dude?”

    @debbie:

    Somebody on Facebook was whining because if somebody plants a bomb, people blame the bomber, not the explosives. I pointed out that the government put severe restrictions on the amount of explosive fertilizer you can buy after Oklahoma City, but we’re not even allowed to count how many guns someone has until after they murder a bunch of people.

    I once knew a nice gentleman in my hometown who sold weed in the KFC drive thru. Fun Friday nights for a high school kid. Kinda sucked when he moved to Long John Silvers.

    A McDonald’s employee in my neighborhood did the same thing a few years ago. The cocaine was placed in Happy Meal boxes, She kept them in a separate stash away from the other boxes and used them for her customers.

    Old news. People were doing this at a McDonalds in Chicago decades ago. I believe it was the Rock & Roll McDonalds.

    I’m old enough to remember when McDonald’s changed coffee stirrers to ones without the little spoon at the end.

    @Mnemosyne:
    A guy I know at work suggested banning certain kinds of ammunition/ buying shit loads of it up. I was skeptical and tried telling him if would be a hard sell and would be fought tooth and nail in the courts if it ever did pass. He didn’t seem to get it.

    Super *sniff* size it!

    “It’s what I eat and what I do.”
    “There’s something for everyone to love at McDonald’s.”
    “Every time a good time.”
    “Gotta get my taste.”
    “More than you expect.”
    “We love to see you smile.”

    This thread is probably done, but I just wanted to mention, based on my experience with the quality of McDonald’s “food”, and yes, I added quotes, buying drugs might be the only remaining reason to visit a McDonalds.

    Their hamburgers have been so bad for so many years, I could not imagine eating them. Think firmed up dog food patties, all soft and mushy and tasteless. I still enjoyed an occasional breakfast sandwich, but the last couple times I gave it, even the quality of those had deteriorated. The steak and egg biscuit and bagel, once a favorite, had moved into the mush meat category of burgers. Even the venerable egg McMuffin does not cut it anymore. There are so many reasons NOT to eat fast food, like you know, extending your life span, but McDonalds makes it easy to not eat there anymore, since really, all their food tastes like utter crap;

    I welcomed this opportunity to get this off my chest as it has been on my mind. We had to do two drives two hours each way on two different days recently, and starting at 7:30, I insisted we get McDonalds on the first trip to eat while on the road. They were so horribly bad, on the second trip we stopped at Hardees. And I did not regret it. I am done with McDonalds. Forever. Even for that breakfast sandwich on the early road trip.

    And since I don’t do drugs, I guess I really have no reason to stop there ever again.
