“Cooking for Kamala”: The Harris-Walz campaign is winning over America’s chefs.
More than 60 celebrity chefs and culinary luminaries voiced their support for Harris in a recent campaign event.
Since McDonald’s has no chef, no endorsements for the morbidly obese felon who eats ketchup tubes will be forthcoming.

Lies bother you?

If Trumps pouty tiny lips are moving, he’s lying. Lying liars lie.
Eternal.Cowboy
The person that printed the immigrants seating pets lie is now concerned with the truth. That funny.
As far as McDonald’s goes, the Trump campaign has said she is lying and even said McDonalds issued a statement saying she didn’t work there. Of course there is not actual statement from McDonalds and there is no evidence that she is lying.
Waron really has a strained relationship with reality.

And here’s another messy maga:
“I should sue Bill Maher for Defamation. (sic) This is beyond the pale and it’s a complete and blatant lie,” Loomer wrote. “This is unacceptable. And it’s a full blown LIE and incredibly disrespectful to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.”

@Eternal Cowboy
Then please provide the statement from McDonald’s confirming employment.
Funny how the Harris campaign moved on from the issue and would not provide which restaurant location and dates of employment.

Did everyone enjoy seeing ol Joey Biden in his MAGA hat the other day?
Perhaps Trump is right, during the debate when he said Joey hates Kammie.

I am not surprised that you don’t know this but most McDonalds restaurants are franchises. A franchise means it isn’t actually owned by McDonalds but rather someone that licenses the use of the name and products. Harris worked at a McDonalds franchise and therefore was never a McDonalds employee. So, they would have no record of her employment. Somewhat terrifying that you don’t even a rudimentary understanding of business and employment. I does explain why you are so susceptible to misinformation.
I saw the video of Biden interacting with the guy who he traded hats with. It was absolutely endearing and it was Biden at this best. He was joking around with someone that had differing political views. They were cordial and the other guy even gave up his Trump hat for a signed Biden hat. It’s how politics should be. They disagreed but respected each other. There was no way Trump could have managed an interaction like that and a concept that is likely completely lost on you.

“I does explain why you are so susceptible to misinformation.”
“It was absolutely endearing and it was Biden at this best.”
Exactly.
“Harris worked at a McDonalds franchise and therefore was never a McDonalds employee.”
Oh, really? How do you know that when nobody knows which restaurant she worked at? Since you are so, so knowledgeable, please provide the location so we can verify it was actually a franchise. Thanks!

I’m sorry, but THIS is your scandal? It’s called grasping at straws. Trump literally sexually assaulted women (by his OWN admission) and that’s not even calling him out on the countless lies (again a term I use literally because I can’t count them) that he’s told.
Why is it always about deflection with you? I know why (that was a rhetorical question) it’s because you got nothing to stand for.
War On Free Speech
Kamala Harris has completely changed her position on the 2nd Amendment in less than 72 hours.
During the debate on Tuesday, Kamala Harris blasted Trump after he said she wanted to take people’s firearms away. Harris told Trump to “stop lying” and said she wasn’t going to take “anybody’s” firearms away.
Less than 72 hours later during an interview with ABC News, Harris revealed she *does* support taking people’s firearms away, announcing her plan for an “assault weapon” ban. Harris has also voiced her support for mandatory buybacks in the past.
storm45701
@waronfreespeech :
Harris does not want further assault weapons sold; current owners of assault weapons would be allowed to keep their firearms. So not taking anyone’s guns away. Just preventing them from owning more.
Considering there are pictures of her in a McDonald’s uniform in the 1990s, we can safely assume Harris worked at McDonald’s. They weren’t AI-generated. McDonald’s has issued no statement. As stated, the corporation itself would not have her records; the local franchisee would (or might; employment records are not kept in perpetuity).

I’m sure Waron will point us to the evidence he has that Harris didn’t work at McDonalds.
(A trump speech is not evidence)
Eternal.Cowboy
Waron-
My sincere congratulations for admitting you are susceptible to misinformation, that couldn’t have been easy.
All the McDonalds where she lived were franchised by the same person. That’s how we know it was a franchise. Unfortunately the person is long passed and the stores have changed ownership. Super easy to find that out if you know you to use a search engine like Google.
Wait, wait, wait, Harris did a sit down interview all by herself? You said should afraid to do that! Not only did she do it, it was a totally normal interview. Shouldn’t you be contorting yourself trying to paint it as some sort of failure? Perhaps you are waiting to receive your talking points because lord knows you aren’t thinking for yourself.
War On Free Speech
@storm45701
Wrong.
She has repeatedly talked about a mandatory government buy back program where your gun would have to be surrendered.
Please point me toward these supposed pictures of her. Funny, of all the many news outlets that have covered this story none have mentioned any pictures of her in a uniform. If that is the case, perhaps her campaign should release the dates and location of her employment. They refuse to do so.
War On Free Speech
@Eternal Cowboy
Since it is “super easy” what was the name of the person who operated all these franchises?
Congratulations! She did ONE interview in two months. What a big girl. Wow. The female empowerment is electrifying even with all her word salads.
Can you imagine running for president with less than two months to go before election day and no press conferences, no town halls, but one interview. You must be so proud of her.
Eternal.Cowboy
I’ll provide the name as soon as you provide the evidence I have asked you on the various claims you have made. You know all the instances where you just stopped responding when called out. Or you can google it yourself, or maybe find a someone that isn’t a boomer than can help you.
As for pride. You support a person with 34 felony convictions, an adjudicated sexual offender, a tax fraud conviction and that is just the last few years. You are also a person that cannot participate in civil discussion when offered the opportunity and avoids actual policy discussions. It really speaks to your character or lake thereof..
I’ll proudly take the person who’s “flaw” is that she hasn’t done an QA session and happily donated to her campaign just yesterday. It’s one benefits of having made something of my life rather than being a a person that has failed at life and looks to a bully to get their retribution.

WARON guess you don’t realize that most of McD are franchisees and the corporation wouldn’t have records of employees working for them. And it’s possible that the franchisee who Harris worked for may no longer own that franchise. So when McD doesn’t answer it’s because they don’t have the records.

Why aren’t you not standing up for free speech? Do you believe in two different forms of justice and freedom? If so, not very liberal of you.

“Why aren’t you not standing up for free speech?”
Lets just ignore the double negative for now…
When you have your own website, you get to decide what is published on your pages. When queerty has their own website, they get to decide what is published on their pages. Weird concept, huh?
Free speech protects your right to say what you want on your own website.
Eternal.Cowboy
Civics lesson for Waron –
In the United States speech is protected by the First Amendment to the United States constitution. I’ll quote it for you here:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Your freedom of speech is protected from the government and as you may or may not know, Queerty is not a governmental institution. Therefore your right to free speech has not been inhibited.
Further, even if we use a loser definition of free speech, Queerty hasn’t inhibited your speech. They have declined to provide you a platform from which to speak. You still have the right to run around an express your thoughts all you want. For example, you could stand on the corner and yell your thoughts at passing cars.
You are confusing the right to free speech with having a right to a platform from which to speak. You have the right to the former but not the latter. No one is owed a platform form which to broadcast their speech.
Lastly, Queerty has a commenting policy that clearly states they can remove whatever they want and you agreed to that policy when you created your account. So, the actual issue this is more about you complaining that you can’t keep the agreements that you make than anything else.
I’ll quote the policy for you as I feel this describes it perfectly, ” If you feel the need to remind us that you have a first amendment right to say any awful thing you want, we agree, go to town sharing your opinions on your own website, not here.”
And to answer your totally unrelated question, I do not believe in two forms of justice or freedom. The Queerty comment section literally has nothing to do with those two things.
Kangol2
Queerty lets Waron rage on from topic to topic, which is whatever FoxNews, Newsmax or Breitbart etc. are ranting about at the time. Glad someone explained how franchises work and that DJT’s comments were yet another tissue of lies and word salad. Have you all noticed he’s getting more and more incoherent? And why do registered Republicans and former voters of his (now supporting Haley, Vivek and Gabbard) keep trying to harm him?

“…Queerty hasn’t inhibited your speech. They have declined to provide you a platform from which to speak.”
Yes, just like Biden did when he colluded with social media companies to deny the free speech of millions of Americans.

Sorry about the double negative. You are correct. 🙂

And along comes Sarah!
Trump seemed to confuse Bagram air base and ANWR, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in one meandering response. In the same breath, he waded into discussions of the Afghanistan withdrawal under President Biden, the auto industry, energy policy, the crowd at his rallies and Russia. “We don’t mind that you give long answers,” said Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, the moderator. “That’s not rambling, that’s genius, when you can connect the dots,” Trump said in a reply.
