I'm still struggling to see what point he was trying to make.
It was for weirdos on the right that are so terminally online that they whipped themselves into a frenzy over Kamala working at McD's. They want to see the long-form birth certificate of her pay slips from - checks notes - several fucking decades ago - at some service-level job or they'll stamp their feet even more...
People talk about how weird that publicity stunt is instead of how he's a gross, fat, perverted, dumb, criminal wannabe dictator
The right is losing it because Harris said she worked at a McD bad has shown no prove of it.
Possible she never has and it's a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.
This right is behaving as if Trump never told a single lie in his long life. It's Harris making a claim without backing it up has been THE THING all week now on most right wing forums I peek at.
Possible she never has and it’s a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.
The weird thing is that they'll tolerate literally any lie from donnie and still vote for him.
Or, maybe not that weird. He's a rich (allegedly), white, male, nominally xtian, Republican, bidnessman. No need to apply any kind of standards.
It’s worse than this. They’re saying because it wasn’t on her resume (curriculum vitae) 20 years later when she was going for another job, possibly a law job, that it means she was lying.
These dumb fucks don’t realise that CVs are for listing relevant work to the role you’re applying for. When I was applying to become a software developer I too didn’t list McD on my CV because that’s fucking dumb.
Weirdly enough, at 47, I no longer list the dish washing job I had at Ponderosa Steakhouse when I was 16 on my resume.
And I'm not even an attorney.
Not 20 years later, but at all. At least that I'd their claim and I haven't seen it debunked do far.
I'll reluctantly link a right wing article that at least tries to come across not overly sensational:
The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.
Harris lists three jobs on the application and five in total on an attached résumé, according to the documents, obtained through a public records request. Harris, who submitted the application as a second-year student at then-University of California, Hastings College of the Law, included granular life experience on her résumé—"extensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe" and "lived in Montreal, Canada for six years"—but not McDonald’s.
They've got photos of the resume and all.
The three jobs listed on there are somewhat relevant to the law clerk role she was applying for, so I can see why McD wouldn’t be on there.
Surely, Harris should just release her tax information from that time that show she was paid by McD.
Trump is exceptionally unequipped for this because the presidency is the only job Trump ever "applied" for in his life and when we fired him he organized a violent coup, including a gallows for Vice President Michael Pencil. He might really believe resumes contain all of someone's job history, or he may be throwing ketchup at the wall again.
Exactly this. When I created my very first CV - at the guidance of people from uni - I listed NO experience rather than listing irrelevant jobs when going for my first work study type of jobs. The people that believe this about Harris are just showing how little they know of the professional world.
“Open our doors to everyone” that’s why we are closing them for you!
The whiplash on that was insane.
But I thought he was gonna do "all the jobs" ??? /s
No shit.
Ok it shouldn’t be a big deal, but I’ve found that you can tell a lot by a signature.
This guys signature looks like a 7th graders.
Edit: wow I just noticed the “DG Empire” on the sticker. Emperor Axe Body Spray over here
Why is that important? I mean it’s not really, I’ll fully admit I’m being petty. But I’ve found that people that write like they’ve just learned cursive do so because they seldom write things. Now this observation is likely less true today than it was in the Jurassic period when I grew up and had to write out schoolwork, but given that this guy owns a McDonald’s franchise I’m gonna guess he had to handwrite schoolwork too.
There is just something visceral about this signature, it’s a sloppy and bad version of textbook cursive. One of the things that happens when people write a lot is that they develop their own handwriting style.
Anyways, the sentiment in this letter and the stupid stunt are enough to hate, but this signature is just awful 1 / 10 please try harder.
I don't know how it happened, but over the years, my signature developed from '7th grade cursive' to 'squiggle that vaguely starts with my first initial in cursive.'
Yes, I think that’s part of it, I shouldn’t be able to read every letter in your signature. I don’t trust that :D
There’s a reason there’s a print line under the signature line, your signature should be some vague squiggle.
Meanwhile my signature is lying through it's teeth, while claiming I must have multiple PhDs to have the signature I have.
I always hated how I was taught to write the capital letters in my name and then I was sitting in civics class and looking at the Declaration of Independence and stole big parts of my current signature from our founding fathers.
They knew how to write their names with style.
Yeah, but they wrote F when they meant S back then.
Congreff? What's congreff?
^(I^ ^know^ ^it's^ ^a^ ^long^ ^s)^
Strangely enough, while my cursive is absolute dog shite with a ballpoint pen, if I break out my fountain pen, that exact script is what starts coming out. Looks like I'm practicing to rewrite the Declaration of Independence and Constitution in a single sitting.
lmao this owner is so demented he thinks McDonalds is a "small business". You're a franchisee, not a small business. Enjoy making french fries for nobody.
Well that's not accurate. By weight, Trump is one of their largest customers.
Small business???? Bitch you own a fucking McDonald's get the fuck out of here
Read the sticker, he doesn’t own a franchise he owns the “DG Empire” what a dork
Many are franchises, so yes, it's technically a small business.
They technically qualify. All the franchises do. Yes it's cursed. Especially when it's time to hand out SBA funds. Remember the pandemic? All the small business money got sucked up by franchises and large money cap/small employee number businesses.
Poor guy probably got a small million dollar loan for his small McDonalds business!
We all know how much McDonald Trump cares about small businesses…
