If anything could get Trump to actually show up in person at one of these places, an offer of free ribs might just do it.
No. I bet Trump has never eaten ribs in his life. Too messy of a food. Rich guys don’t get sauce on their fingers.

Apparently, after getting tired of having their own tear gas thrown back at them and repelled by leaf blowers, feds got their own.


This would be comical by now but for the fact federal officers are apparently now packing and brandishing live rounds when not hiding behind fences. Sooner or later live rounds are getting fired and things are going to get real unless there's de-escalation by law enforcement (and yes I'm well aware that's what they're trying to provoke).

Meanwhile in Louisville...





The shot fired earlier in the day seem to have been an accidental discharge. But on the other hand LMPD seems to have remembered its manners after three months of sustained brutality against protesters, after a couple hundred came loaded for bear.

Ribs aren't trashy enough. They'd need to be handing out Fillet-O-Fish or something...

If he needs two hands to manage a glass of water in case he spills some on his expensive silk tie, he's at least another pair of hands short to risk ribs.

Whatever, just wash your hands.

Are you both kidding? You know what his diet is, ribs are probably too high class for him.

Permanent free ribs. This is what the feds are trying to destroy.
I'd make jokes that this should outrage conservatives if nothing else does. A small business owner, serving meat of all things, is being harassed by feds. Except nothing about this is very funny.

Honestly it reminds me of a minor explosion I had with my gaming group when all this kicked off nationally, not a day or two after David McAtee was killed (the guy in Louisville who was shot at the block party, serving ribs). For all the time and expense that has gone into (and will continue going into) violently suppressing riots, it would have been cheaper, easier, and a hell of a lot safer to just declare the protests an open forum with proper social distancing and available masks, and had local restaurants cater.

Nobody's rioting on a full stomach, would have helped local businesses and workers in the most need, and people would have had their voices heard in a safe and easily-monitored manner without cop violence.

Technically they’re a charity I think since they don’t charge.

Round of cheeseburgers for everyone
Yes, remember the time a few years back he had a White House dinner to "honour" some college sports team and he bought in a load of McDs?

He clearly didn't give a shit about them: he just used the staff furlough during the budget shutdown as an excuse to buy in what he wanted for himself. I'd be pissed to get an invite like that and be served stuff I could buy for a few quid on any virtually any high street in the world.

And then he did it several more times after Fox and Friends told him that that feeding people garbage made him more patriotic. He only stopped after photos circulated of people poking at the cold burgers in disgust and not eating. The last 4 years have been non-stop embarrassment.

Just give him 4 more! Or 8 ! or 16! America will be SO GREAT, we'll be TIRED OF WINNING!

On a serious note, if Trump was trying to kick the protests into overdrive, he's done a great job there. To boot now every news outlet has video and photos of Army Cosplayers holding guns facing off with demonstrators in US cities, which I'm sure is a comforting photo to everyone.

I'm old enough to remember the NRA Bigwig Wayne LaPierre going off about "Jack Booted Government Thugs" 25 years ago. Strangely those words feel resonate right now, though ironically laPierre seems to have no statement on the current situation, despite still being part of the NRA leadership.


"Vote for me! If you like what's happened to America in the last 4 years, just wait to see what i do with 4 more!"

Clearly a man of VERY STABLE GENIUS!

I mean to be honest my takeaway from that was not even people with direct access to the nuclear football can get McDonald's burgers that look like the McDonald's burgers in the advertisements.

That's because the ads are full of glue and hairspray to give it that look. Not very tasty.

But 6 year olds love eating glue! So it must be tasty!
Eating or sniffing?

Clearly the technology of food warmers - i.e. a metal frame with candles - hasn't reached the White House yet.

I'm not sure Trump has figured out fire as a technology. Look how impressed he is by wheels and walls, I'm not sure he can quite grasp the idea of reactions yet.

The ads, sure, but it's entirely possible to get a real burger that looks like those. Just not from McDonald's under any circumstance, apparently. Not even if you're the "leader" of the "free world". You'd think the White House kitchen staff would think to just buy hamburger ingredients at wholesale, make them, wrap them in McDonald's containers, and just lie to Trump and tell him it's from McDonald's. Apparently not that, either.

Also if glue manufacturers didn't want kids to eat it, they'd add non-toxic bittering agents. Nintendo managed it with Switch cartridges for God's sake.
