McDonald's is promising 'attention to affordability' after the price of Big Mac meals hits $18

I had a crazy-busy day about 2-months ago and found myself hitting up a McDonald’s drive-thru for an order of fries just to tide me over for the drive home.

I didn’t pay attention to the pricing—it was only fries—and when I got to the window I handed them a five, fully expecting a couple of bucks in change.

The attendant just looked at me. I laughed as I realized a regular order of fries was more than five-bucks.

And yet, I STILL am hard pressed to believe a Big Mac meal is currently $18…

White House announces radical new plan to allocate tariff revenue without Congress

What an adorable way to destroy democracy.

Trump states he will direct money towards an important program (which anyone would have to be a monster to argue it isn’t deserving of funding), by subverting a core principle laid out in the constitution which ensures another check and balance on executive powers.

His MAGA snowflake army will cheer his amazing heart and empathy while he establishes a precedent for future appropriations of his own illegal slush fund.

Bro is just speed running his Emperor Palpatine quest…

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus

These calls have one damn thing in freaking common; our MRFF clients [service members who seek MRFF aid] report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new “biblically-sanctioned” war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian “End Times" as vividly described in the New Testament Book of Revelation.

Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.

The first one is a great example of an outlier situation happening before and there being a rule which explicitly describes what happened:

“a catch is legal if the ball is finally held by any fielder, even though juggled, or held by another fielder before it touches the ground. Runners may leave their bases the instant the first fielder touches the ball.”

The obstruction one just reminds me of when someone learns a new word and then tries to use it every chance they get, except it’s an umpire trying to force a fairly obscure rule.
