While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

The mbmbam show was great and I knew from the beginning it was doomed on seeso. Dropout would be the ideal platform, just do it. 🙏

one of my all-time favorite weird and wonderful shows - DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED - is now on dropout!

full web series now; TV series (which less people have seen) over the course of the next few months. big thanks to blink industries, becky, and joe for their faith in us.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

I'm hoping to see it be used for less ostentatious purposes. Repurpose instead of completely leveling it.

I'm just so tired of having his name on every single thing. Couldn't he name it something cringe like PatriotRX or some other nationalist dog-whistle name?

So they made gestures at them and there's almost certainly no video evidence of it?

I have such trust issues since AI blew up.
As much as I could fully see this being real, do we have any sources anywhere to verify that this is legit?

I just don't want to go around falling for AI videos and ending up just as bad as your average Facebook user.

Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

FYI he has asked everyone to give to local charities instead of the go fund me. He stated the GFM was only to replace their front door which was covered with the existing donations.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.

They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”
