Politics - On Trump and McDonalds - George Godwyn

The problem with Trump's McDonald's party isn't that McDonald's is uniquely cheap or unhealthy or unfit for consumption or whatever other classist, pseudo-elitist, crap some of you folks seem to think. The unhealthiness of American fast food is generally overstated by almost everyone, as is its alleged inedibility, and the fact that people on a budget can conveniently access hot, delicious meals for the price of 15 minutes of labor is a miracle of the modern world and there’s no goddamn reason for an American President to be ashamed Americans know how to make some good, cheap hamburgers. Only a people as fat and comfortable and safe as Americans could be confused otherwise. Sorry, Belgium, you may have invented the french fry, McDonald’s made it into crack. Anyway, stop fronting. Y’all just had three cruncheritos and a mexican pizza from the Bell. Shit is good sometimes.

And the problem isn’t that Trump is a billionaire or that this repast took place at the White House on all their high falutin’ china, that fast food is somehow too undignified. America loves that shit. Billionaires eat McDonald’s, too (ask Warren Buffet), and when the fuck did we become the kind of nation that’s offended by our leaders having a goddamn burger on some fancy, company’s coming over, china, anyway? This isn’t Europe, the White House isn’t Versailles, as much as that doofus and our Centaurian first lady would like to pretend it is. McDonald’s is just fine on them high-class plates. (And by the way, the White House isn’t a palace because we don’t have kings and queens, we have employees, and as Trump’s employer, if he wants to snort addie off the Resolute desk and then piss on that big carpet seal while no one’s around, that’s fine with me. He should have the same right to misuse, abuse, and degrade his place of work as any other American worker. If your shirt is so stuffed shit like that is going to bug you, move to the 19th century or a Jane Austen novel or something.)

Politics - Civil Discourse

Politics - Civil Discourse

First he came for Mexicans,
Then he came for Muslims,
Then he came for Women,
THen he came for a Disabled Reporter,
Then he came for Gold Star Families,
Then he came for Trans Troops,
Then he came for NFL Players,
Then he came for Africa,
Then he came for the Chinese Economy,
Then he came for Canadian Neighbours,

Then he put children in internment camps.
Then he put children. In Internment Camps.
Then he put MORE children in Internment Camps.
Then they drugged children in Internment Camps.
Then they sexually abused children in internment camps.
Then they lost children from internment camps.

Now he says we have lost the art of 'civil discourse'.

Drew Magary wrote this inflammatory 'open letter' attacking Trump Supporters. It's awesome.
