Harris won for sure. They just need to make the rest of these idiots believe there was a REAL election, because the shadow swamps need to really make it believable.
You're the real hero here.
There is a real election.... What the fuck do you think I'm implying?
This makes me think of the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter, washed some already clean dishes, and left without saying a word to anyone.
No seriously. This happened and it was weird as shit.
Very fine point.
Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.
If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask "wtf is this" and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can't live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.
It is trainig for probation and work release.
There's a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO's put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.
Undercover Boss, and it's the most Corpoproganda thing you've ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for "Not knowing what it means to struggle"
The boss proved it by firing him. Didn't offer him drug consueling, didn't pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.
Complete clown show.
Yeah. I figured. I mostly hate reality show dreck, but the idea of him in it amuses me.
It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about
They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.
He took orders (I don't know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.
It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries
But that wasn't even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can't believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald's.
This mcdonald's was not owned by mcdonald's. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there
I don't think as a franchise owner you can just use the McDonald's name, or can you?
That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.
Good. Fuck 'em.
EDIT: Nevermind, corpos are both-siding losers.

“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”
suuuuurrrreee
You may very well be correct, but do you not think this person thinks (I hate putting the two following words next to each other) president trump will protect him? Of course the incontinent orangutan doesn't give a flying 🦆 if people who lick his 🍑 gets in trouble on his behalf
Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.
Nobody believes that trump is capable of working a shift at mcdonalds or any other job. He has zero skills.
Yeah, they should have pulled Bush out of retirement and paraded him around. Way less desperate.
Of course, Bush ACTUALLY retired and doesn't seem as thirsty for the limelight as other ex-presidents.
HOW IS THIS A CLOSE RACE
The secret ingredient is genocide.
How is he even in the race?
Lots of people didn't want to do their jobs. Sometimes I feel our whole government is just a giant grift.
My thoughts exactly, until I drove through Georgia and saw all the flags. I'm terrified.
I already don't eat there and now I wish I could eat there less; that man is gross.
Harris has those same numbers a week ago, and headlines were still trash talking her. So what?
Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren't helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump's narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.
It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.
This is the taco bowl meme all over again, lol.
You know it's not real because there's no machines beeping loudly in his ear because a car was in the drivethru for >16 seconds, or manager screaming "Hurry the hell up where are those large fries!?!" or people throwing crap at him for tiktok cred.
Old McDonald pulled a stunt
"THE DEMI-CRATS ARE TRYING TO TAKE YOUR COWS AWAY"
-old man yelling at America
Not gonna lie. If he stays and works a 40 hour week I'll be impressed. Maybe that's a bucket list item for him.
