    Vote anyway, so we can be sure to catch this type of expression after Election Day.

    I was really hoping his parasympathetic nervous system would have been willing to take one for the team and plunged him into the fryer head first, but no such luck.

    For a fat, lazy fuck, his body really needs to let him down more often.

        I thought maybe ‘parasympathetic nervous system’ was too obscure. I didn’t even know what it was until I went to the Mayo clinic.

        But also, I decided fuck it.

              Oh no, that’s just a misnomer. Common sense is not at all common. It should be, maybe, depending on the context, and maybe by a certain age it is. But it’s not common as in applies to most people.

              It’s like “everyone knows”.

              Yes this is 10,000.

              However, literally all of us have the Parasympathetic nervous system. You’d pretty much fail to be alive without it.

      The parasympathetic system is responsible for stimulation of “rest-and-digest” or “feed-and-breed”[4] activities that occur when the body is at rest, especially after eating, including sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation (tears), urination, digestion, and defecation

      I had earlier suggested he stick his dick in the fryolater…that sounds more likely to be something triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system than his head.

      Although I’ve never heard “rest and digest” or “feed and breed” as comparable to “fight or flight”. I suppose this is the mechanism of action for finding your way to a mans heart via his stomach.

      “Feed and breed” will be definitely oing on the invitations for my next potluck-slash-orgy.

    Wondering if there will be any polling conducted on the success of this.

    Like at best it’s viral media attention as Trump always gets. I’m sure 4chan incels will be like, “kek he’s so fuckin funny!” but beyond that, who is this for… ?

      It’s for the other wealthy assholes who have never worked at McDonalds (or any other working-class job) and are so out of touch they think this is good outreach to the poors, showing Trump as a relatable everyman. They have no awareness of how much he just looked like a rich asshole who has never done any real work in his life, showing up to work an average job for a couple hours during the slow part of the day and walking away with a warped view of what it’s like to be working class.

        And they closed the store down so it wouldn’t be too busy for him.

        It’s odd they’d even sign off on this as this is pretty much one of the blunders Romney made against Obama

          I don’t remember anything like that from Romney, what exactly are you referring to? I only remember him calling poor people moochers, binders full of women and the dog thing. Oh, and the car elevator in his house.

            There was a time when Romney desperate to look relatable, so he did a photo-op of him eating at McDonalds and gave a speech about how his dad was “Friends with the owner” and how he has a “Lifetime free food” pass with McDonalds… Not only did this speech kinda drive home the “I’m better than you!” thing even harder…

            But the pictures of Romney at McDonalds were bizarre, made him look out of place and confused. There’s one of him sitting down with no food, no ticket, clearly waiting for a server even though that’s not how fast food works, where he just looks like a lost puppy. (I remember joking about him wanting to see the wine list when I saw the pic)

            There’s also the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter to take a picture of himself cleaning already clean bowls so he could claim he “regularly did volunteer work there”, something the Shelter was quick to call bullshit on.

      It’s 2 weeks until the election, the big pollsters already have their final “likely voter” polls wrapping up / coming out and they’re pivoting to exit polling for early voters.

      The odds of a Trump handberder poll are slim to none.

    It’s good to know McDonald’s will higher people as down on his luck as this guy, felon in debt millions, can’t even do business in the state of NewYork anymore. Gives hope for the under dog.

      Yeah, it’s sad and hilarious that he thinks this will help him look relatable instead of like an out-of-touch dipshit who has never worked an honest day’s labor in his life.

      He’d be the funniest pathetic clown in America if he weren’t a fascist reactionary who morons hail as their savior.
