Boycotting trash food has never been a problem.

Trump has brought all these nuts out from under their rocks.
I hope we can make it through this era, and watch these slimy, grotesque creatures crawl back under.

He'll be rich and so will his children forever so don't laugh too loud.
He may come up with another method to torture us, like running for office.

(94 posts)He was saying, in summary, that Colonel Sanders used to get to use the N-word all the time and never had to take this sensitivity training like he was being forced to do, harrumph. Y'know, back when America was "great." The only thing he left out was an appeal to "free speech." His statements were right in the sweet spot of MAGA shitheadery, and will certainly be viewed as favorable by the MAGA crowd.

(129,784 posts)He will be considered a "martyr" for the "cause" and it's all the "librruuuuulllls" fault. Next thing we know, he'll be a contributor to Faux Snooze, now able to more openly expressing his bullshit.

Smart money say next year he'll again be teleconferencing in on corporate meetings and "stepping down" after saying something bigoted.
