I think this was the thread that showed a SWAT cop with Punisher patch

“I’ve talked about this in other interviews. To me, it’s disturbing whenever I see authority figures embracing Punisher iconography because the Punisher represents a failure of the Justice system. He’s supposed to indict the collapse of social moral authority and the reality some people can’t depend on institutions like the police or the military to act in a just and capable way.”

It was a QAnon patch IIRC. Although Punisher is a common one.

That is so weird.

Also - that's Bill Maxwell from Greatest American Hero!

Robert Culp. One of my favorites but have never seen that. How strange.

That's because you are smart and don't do facebook. That was going around during the 2016 election... More for the charlatan aspect, now that the Wall is central focus it's coming around again.

It's still as impressive as it was in 2016 and is even more prophet like today.

(unless you mean you've never seen the source, in which case, who born in the 70s and later has really seen all of the TV and Movies stuff from the mid 60s and before? I've seen a lot of it from old TV20 and TV50 syndication growing up but what seems like a lot is still nothing)

I remember Culp from his I Spy stint with *cough* Bill Cosby *cough*. I actually thought Cosby was funny in that, but cared not for his later schtick.

There is always a tweet. Or in this case, a speech.

I... don't understand.

I've tried parsing your sentence in both a serious and sarcastic light, and both have left me scratching my head.

I guarantee tomorrow will bring similarly posed pics of food banks for furloughed federal employees.

They have no one to blame but the Dems. They are on holiday, celebrating the shutdown, no doubt.

Jeff Koons is all like, "My art, it is alive!"

The one thing you should never do with fast food (aside from eat it) is serve it more than 5 minutes after it leaves the heat lamps. It congeals and becomes really nasty, very quickly.

A good look on the President.

Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!

Hamberdler.

Hamberders.

Nothing to see here but supposedly one of the richest men to ever hold the office of President bragging about paying for a fast food dinner.

Why the hell didn't they delay the dinner until after the shutdown? Last time Clemson won the championship, they had their White House visit in June. Does Trump actually think this photo op helps him in the shutdown?

White House kitchen staff are furloughed so he just ordered enough fast food for the football players plus enough leftovers to keep himself fed through the end of the month.

Makes me wish I had a mouth full of milk, so it could shoot out my nose.

The...master...has...the largest...hands in...the world.

Gaudy gilded candelabras and ostentatious piles of tepid fast food arrayed on silver trays, but no tablecloth to protect the table. It's a fairly apt metaphor for the Trump administration.

I think it would be complete if the portrait of Lincoln behind him was face-palming.

Mike Judge couldn't have imagined a more ridiculous scene in Idiocracy.

I don't get it but it sure looks like an add for Mac Sabbath.

Although I think it's representative of drumpf himself, WH or no. Again, it's exactly what poor, uneducated people believe it means to be rich.

In the future, that picture will hang on the wall right beside Lincoln's painting. A constant reminder of what the deplorables are capable of. On the plus side, it's true that literally anyone can become president. Qualification requirements are flexible.

If I wasn't a vegetarian, I'd go there for lunch today and order one on principle.

Tell me that dude in charge of the media account isn't going to be looking for a new job shortly.

Still, worth it.

BK Lounge have a pretty storied history of "meh, whatever" to what is and is not appropriate by now don't they. Even before the creepy king it was like they had their eyes opened by the Quiznos commercials when they had Darius Rucker singing about breasts that grow on trees featuring Jenna Jameson. That was the first I remember and they have never seem to have really looked back. I can only assume it's panned out for them.

I dunno. If you look at their Twitter account, they get very little play. This is an explosive near-viral Tweet. He may get promoted.

I had to learn this lesson when the game came out (no idea if they are related) and the Hands of Fate references started flying. I'm happy to report that I immediately got the reference from the photohop pic.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a decent veggie burger (might not be vegan though) as many other fast food joints are carrying them, and taste-wise, they tend to be totally reasonable.

I have no doubt it's good for their brand. I have some doubt that the old white men on the board will see it that way, especially when Drumpf starts tearing into them on twitter.
