I didn’t read the story but Newsweek has been complete garbage for a while now so I’d be wary.

The news this weekend should hopefully put to an end the whole narrative about how it’s basically McCarthyism to question the Russian connection. It’s actually prettt shocking it still existed at this point tbh.

it's not from Newsweek, it's what Bernstein said on CNN's Reliable Sources

Given how little Mueller has leaked so far, I'd be really surprised if Bersnstein has seen the draft or been talking about it with someone who has.

1/14/2019 10:20:50 AM

^That's what's getting me. I don't believe a single person that says they've talked with anyone on that team or that they have sources "close" to that team or their discussions. I feel like they're just talking to defense attorneys who are like "yea he asked us a question about X" and then saying "Mueller is writing about X."

For posterity. LoL Hamberders.

Our President, folks.

I’ve never seen so someone so narcissistic but also so insecure. Had to drop the “I paid” in there. My toddler needs less praise.

1/15/2019 8:25:10 AM

Hamberders are bad, mmmk?

1/15/2019 8:57:53 AM

Nothing says congratulations like hours old fast food. My dude couldn't even spring for some chipotle or panera catering?

Doesn't he own a 5 star hotel around the corner that could whip up a decent meal?

1/15/2019 10:24:27 AM

"I paid" is defensible given the shutdown, though "I" is probably the campaign and not him personally. Or, maybe he skipped on the bill.

Mr. Self-Proclaimed-Billionaire-Stable-Genius catering a meal from McDonald's is fucking embarrassing.

1/15/2019 10:36:05 AM

did they have at least have pizza? i mean hot fast food is okay, but cold fast food is the worst. who tf wants a stack of cold filet-o-fish sandwiches?

The choice of fast food is just nerve wracking. I don't understand it at all. Does he have stock in McDonalds? Does he stand to profit somehow from the advertising?

Honestly, the photo of him presiding over the spread of junk food with a portrait of Lincoln looking down in shame is really the perfect encapsulation of his entire Presidency.

1/15/2019 12:25:00 PM

Seriously though, how insulting is this for the players. Win a national championship, get (or have) to go to the White House, and the leader of the free world serves you shit you could've gotten for $10 on your own...and have it be fresh(er) and hot(ter).

And he's proud of this shit. PROUD. Thinks that this is their favorite foods...LEGIT thinks that.

What a fucking embarrassment.

1/15/2019 12:43:27 PM

You're talking about a man who puts ketchup on well done steaks

1/15/2019 12:46:50 PM

1/15/2019 1:43:51 PM

assuming 24 big macs per tray and about 18 trays based on that photo...we'll round up to 20.

At a max cost of $6.89 (worldwide), that's $3,307.20 spent on food there.

His tweet says over 1,000 berders, so we'll give the benefit of the doubt and say $7,000 total spent. I think we should be allowed to see that receipt though.

also, with over 1000 hamberders, that would be 16.67 consumed per minute if they were all eaten within an hour. hmm...

[Edited on January 15, 2019 at 2:17 PM. Reason : he'll gladly pay next Tuesday for over 1,000 berders today.]

1/15/2019 2:00:32 PM

1/15/2019 4:01:26 PM

Why is he wearing a coat? Did he pick up the food himself? Is the White House heat broken?

Yeah, but that was after he is on video saying there are 300 hamburgers #hamburgergate

1/15/2019 4:49:01 PM

It's amazing to me that such a trivial and inconsequential incident still manages to capture all of Trump's deficiencies.

1/15/2019 5:16:13 PM

He is seriously incapable of speaking without lying.

1/15/2019 5:50:36 PM

BK's tweet still has me rolling

1/15/2019 6:27:14 PM

^this shit pisses me off. I come to tww to get info from people that pay more attention to shit than me. A lot of you people just post reactions, not links or descriptions of the news itself. This seems to be mostly a soap box problem, in chitchat they post a link to the dude getting hit in the balls, they don’t just say “that ball hit video was crazy!”. Someone just posts “Lindsay Graham is such a piece of shit” and I have to google what he did now. You reference a Burger King tweet that as far as I can tell hasn’t been posted yet, and I have to look that shit up. Help me be fucking lazy here people. Post what the fuck you are referencing if it hasn’t been posted yet.

1/15/2019 6:44:38 PM

afropenis posted it in between the ketchup pic and the hamberdler pic

1/15/2019 7:04:17 PM

Now you expect me to click on links!?!?!?

Yeah I def didn’t see that, so thanks, but i stand by my statement in general. I have to look up way too much shit I see referenced here in SB.

1/15/2019 7:05:40 PM

I prefer this comment on the BK tweet to the BK tweet itself

Yes, i admitted to missing the link, it was a bad example

"Last April, telecom giant T-Mobile announced a megadeal: a $26 billion merger with rival Sprint, which would more than double T-Mobile's value and give it a huge new chunk of the cellphone market. But for T-Mobile, one hurdle remained: Its deal needed approval from the Trump administration. The next day, in Washington, staffers at the Trump International Hotel were handed a list of incoming 'VIP Arrivals.' That day's list included nine of T-Mobile's top executives... ... T-Mobile executives have returned to President Trump's hotel repeatedly since then, according to eyewitnesses and hotel documents obtained by The Washington Post."

Putting a bipartisan delegation to a war zone at risk to own the libs.

1/17/2019 2:46:39 PM

putting them at risk? are they planning on chartering their own flight?

1/17/2019 3:16:29 PM

^They're not going, but Trump's "clap-back" to Pelosi literally included the suggestion to get to Afghanistan via a commercial carrier.

1/17/2019 4:07:01 PM

He basically co-signed her justification for cancelling the SOTU, while pissing off some of his own supporters in Congress who were part of the delegation and giving a giant middle finger to troops in the region. Own yourself to own the libs?

1/17/2019 6:37:15 PM

I'm not sure what Trump was trying to achieve with the Pelosi thing. Pelosi basically loses no leverage with the public, and I doubt feels any pressure from having to reschedule the trip. While the optics of losing the SOTU are bruising
