Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is america, we fat.
We're just storing excess calories in preparation for the resource wars
The gravy seals will be having the last laugh
No, I'm with you on that one. I hadn't eaten there in a while and got a hankering. So I went to one, got a hamburger, fries and a milk shake. That was like 30 years ago and I've never been back. Even the milk shake was horrible. A MILKSHAKE! I don't understand what people see in that place. I'd be just fine if it went out of business.
My dad had an irrational hatred of McDonald’s so even when we got fast food, we went to Popeyes or Taco Bell or wherever. In college, I lived off Burger King’s dollar menu. But if you don’t have a positive childhood memory of the McDonald’s taste, it just tastes like chemicals. And if you don’t already know what they sell, it sucks going there. I went with a friend once and I was like, “Do they have a list of items they sell or is it all just combos I have to deconstruct?” People were annoyed because I was taking too long to order and I was like, “Motherfucker, I’m reading the menu. I don’t know what they call shit here.”
I’m not above eating fast food. I get a hankering for other places occasionally, especially for breakfast. But to this day, every McDonald’s item tastes really funky to me.
There's a lot of accusations about the food. The food itself isn't extra-bad, though: it's beef, cheese, bread, pickles, onions and condiments. You may eat these already.
