US Politics January 2019: we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger

Did each player eat 20 burgers wtf?

If he paid, they all have to put out.

also now the 300 hamburgers is officially 1000 it seems

Prrrrobably more accurate to write (they paid) tbh.

imagine being a billionaire and bragging about paying for fast food

remember the taco bowl?

remember the tax returns?

Lincoln portrait is the cherry on top

why is he wearing an overcoat indoors

I like his jazz hands best.

is that a golden noose sneaking in to the top of the frame

so many questions

He is wearing an overcoat to hide the hams that he's burgled, presumably.

They don't make clothes loose fitting enough to hide all those hams.

Sorry, of course I meant to say 'the hams that he's berded'.

Again: HAMBERDERS

He made a hamberder wall.

Better a hamberder than a nerfherder, I always say.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

They also confirm that these were McDonald's fries transferred into the presidential cups.

remember when he signed portraits of dead children like they were baseball cards

kfc execs must be fucking furious at getting shut out

"Table Located At Whopper End of Long Table."

BIG EATERS

The thought does still occasionally occur to me that this could all be a very adroit and nuanced performance art piece. Occam's Razor and all that.

You know things are fucked up when that is a more plausible scenario than reality.

galloping dementia seems most occams-appropriate tbh

He's demented but doesn't seem to have dementia.

Waiting to appear, William Barr looks like John Goodman cast as a live-action Garfield. .

that diagram is one of the greatest images of this presidency and will be reprinted in high school textbooks like thomas nast caricatures of Mugwumps or w/e

that Detailed WaPo analysis doesn’t count whether it was 300 or 1000, gtfo

xpost It's up there with the Ben Carson electoral map in the 'diagrams of profound GOP stupidity' annals, for sure.

There was only like 100 people there, right? So if it was a thousand then that means everyone ate about 10 hamberder in an hour. Perhaps the dinner table didn't contain the only "Whoppers" served up that night!!!

The article itself gives really good figures. They estimate "319 sandwiches, 177 of which were hamburgers."

Most linemen could probably put down 20 hanberdurs on their own

Just...okay, so like attendance figures at an inauguration are estimated, they can be flawed and fudged. Sure. Okay. It's not like you have immediate access to a concrete figure. But...when you order and pay for a certain amount of food, you presumably know exactly what you ordered. Even if you forget the exact number, you can ballpark it. 300 is a lot of hamberders. Anyone who will be impressed that you bought a lot of hamberders with your very own allowance will surely be bowled over by the number 300. So...so why is it suddenly a thousand? Why a fucking thousand? Why? Why? What the fucking fuck is wrong with you that you feel the need to make it a fucking thousand? You could've bought a fucking thousand hamberders and then truthfully said you bought a thousand hamberders if that was a number of hamberders sufficient to make you feel like a big boy.

God, just...just fuck you, okay, Mr. President? Fuck you, is all.

I expect it to become 10,000 by week's end.

and, quite frankly, some people have said it was as many as 1500. folks, do you see Hillary Clinton doing that? I don't think so.

It's really very simple. Trump treated them like loaves and fishes. They multiplied.

1000 hamberders etc, presumably including other foodstuffs - there's a lot of french american fries, for example.

The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the appointment of Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general.

So...so why is it suddenly a thousand? Why a fucking thousand? Why? Why? What the fucking fuck is wrong with you that you feel the need to make it a fucking thousand?

I know it's just textbook pathology but the compulsive need to lie when there isn't even a sliver of material advantage in doing so feels like a window into some profound internal damage.
