Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

[wonko the sane?]

The newest stuff is based solely on the demographics, and we don't actually know any of the votes and won't for weeks yet. If you've already voted, and y'all need to medicate to make it through the waiting: do it. watching analysts and pundits won't help from here.

I'm trying to stay positive, Wonko, but as someone who wants to shed my current public persona and live as who I authentically am after hiding it for nearly 40 years, I can't help to be a little anxious over the thing. I'd rather not be forced to hide who I am just to survive for 4 more years.(granted I still can't even work up the nerve to tell my wife, so it likely wouldn't really matter in my specific case, either way)

 

[Teufel]

It's happening.

Actually the funniest thing about this are all the replies and QTs of the clips apparently having no idea this is a staged campaign event, as if a dude who had 2 assassination attempts would just surprise people at a random McDonalds drive-thru

 

[KidTDragon]

Now he'll have some experience if they put him to work in the prison kitchen.

 

[Pale Rider]

I love that he hates every second of it. You know he does.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

We will never be able to explain this era to people who weren't here to see it.

 

[KidTDragon]

I can't explain it now.

 

[Teufel]

On its face it's just basic retail politics which is perfectly normal and even good, but it's actually 90% trolling Kamala because she said she worked at McDonalds once and he's latched onto it for some reason.

Would you willingly eat food you know he handled?

Because McDonald's was supposed to be his thing and he wants to reclaim it.

I wouldn't eat food I imagine he handled.

 

[Pocket]

I'd sooner eat the Burger King Foot Lettuce.

I think McDonalds is beautiful and sacred to him and he thinks the brown woman sullied it.

[Ironbite4]

Fact that he did this and it looked...terrible just makes me laugh.

Ironbite-wish the fry oil set him on fire.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Is there actual footage of this rather than static images? I want to see if he actually had to do anything, or if he just stood there for a couple of photo ops while having a "who looks more uncomfortable" competition with everyone around him.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Actually, yes.

 

[Paladin]

And someone's invented a name for his performance today.

Spoiler

"Frysis Actor."

 

[Cybersnark]

It was all staged, of course.

Something you should know about the Trump McDonald’s appearance is that the restaurant was closed and the food service was all rehearsed with pre-screened volunteers

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Of course it was staged. Does anyone think they'd let him touch food for actual paying customers?
