While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

And there it is …

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

The only things I really remember about Trump's 2026 campaign promises were that he'd definitely release the Epstein Files and that he'd definitely not start a war with Iran.

Perfect in its summation of the whole rotten situation.

Trump seems too comfortable with US deaths in his futile Iran war | Opinion Announcing the deaths of three U.S. soldiers following his attack on Iran, President Donald Trump said 'that’s the way it is.' Good lord.

Trump dragged us into war with Iran. And already, our self-absorbed leader is speaking about the loss of American lives with the nonchalance one expects from a small man never held accountable for the consequences of his actions.

My volcanically angry column:

Hey, how ‘bout them

EPSTEIN FILES!

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

Be right back. Gonna punch my neighbor before he can punch me for getting punched by some other guy.

Lol. No, they don't. They still haven't decided why they did this in the first place. Now, they expect us to believe they had thought about contingencies? Stfu, Marco.

You couldn’t make this up.
And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

So far we’ve heard 12 different primary reasons for the war, 7 different main objectives, and 5 different exit strategies.

Congressman, how would you possibly get out of an unjust war, that no one knows the reason behind, if you are not allowed to talk about it while it is going on, you nimrod?! Just keep blindly sending kids off to the meat grinder, we'll settle the bill when it's all over?

Pretty sure the complaint is that young Americans are only in harm's way because the deranged president launched an unconstitutional war without any effort to justify it and, apparently, with no real plan or agenda in mind.

So, now seems like the best time for all that?

Of course, of course he is. Nothing else has worked. He keeps throwing Americans at the wall and hoping one gets everyone's attention away from the raping of little girls.

And have started two wars. Completely unrelated to Epstein, of course.

We do not belong to a constitutional republic
We are being ruled by gangsters and madmen - Netenyahu Trump and the new tech overlords and oligarchs power mad ghouls - unthinkable greed - madness insanity .

So they have no plan. Got it.

#TrumpIsAPathologicalLiar Mr. Peace President was a sham as was the Board of Peace each rogue leader and no European nations paying him $1Billion to join. #ResistanceUnited #NoWarInIran

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files, fascist republicans will literally do anything to distract from it.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Raving lunatic who still needs to tell us if he raped and murdered young girls. No matter how many illegal wars you start, that shit ain't going away, rapey.

The King is mad

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.
