    Before I learned that they were religious wackadoos, one showed up near me (Chicago area) and I figured I’d give it a try. It was the blandest chicken sandwich I’ve ever had, and the waffle fries suuuuucked. Dune time later I figured I’d give them a second chance and ordered their spicy chicken sandwich. Still bland AF, still bad fries. I’ve had a society chicken sandwich from Burger King, and seriously, how the fuck do you screw up waffle fries? So I wrote them off as total trash and never went back. Then I learned that they were owned by Christian fundamentalist assholes, giving me a second reason to hate them.

    I’ll say the same thing I said when 5 Guys (burgers are fine, not a fan of the peanut oil fries) - if you want to move into the Chicago area you need to do better than whatever’s been working for you everywhere else. I’m honestly surprised that either of them maintains a foothold here. Funny thing is the 5 Guys has all these framed copies of reviews from all over the country, not one of which was from Chicago or even Illinois lol. At least 5 Guys isn’t run by assholes (as far as I know).

        That just made me nostalgic for a time when our president was just a moron and not a completely narcissistic moron with dementia.

            You need to be a bit of a narcissist to want to be president. But, well, the current one kind of overshot that mark.

            Also, dementia is not strictly speaking a job requirement. It’s just a tradition that results from an empire in decline selecting leaders that remind them of daddy when times were good.

      That would be even more depressing, somehow.

      “National health care passes - Cancer, depression, and bankruptcy rates plummet”

      Honestly, I’d accept Trump taking all the credit and putting his ugly face on every hospital if it meant good service

      Holy fuckin shit it’s this one comment every single post. You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.

        You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.

        I actually don’t know why mild swear words like “bastard” are self-censored on the neo-Nazi social media website like a superstitious 12-year-old on XBL who thinks their parents might be home so whispers “you’re a dumbass bitch” 2 centimeters from the mic.

        Please, enlighten us with what would happen to this user if they said “bastard” without the asterisk like it makes any difference to “dah algurathamm!!1”

        My question is more why are they censoring themselves when the person they’re parodying didn’t? When the person they are parodying holds likely the highest office in the world today and they themselves are just some random poster?

        Right. This place had like ten things it talks about and is a subset of the most insufferable of us from Reddit. It has a great benefit though, in that I spend vastly less time online these days.

    Chick-fil-A is part of the Trump cult. Never give them your business.

      Cracker Barrel is practically part of the MAGA family, but Trump still smacked the shit out of them for changing their logo, which cost them tens of millions reversing a rebrand. I’m sure this tweet even in jest made some folks at Chick Fil A wince in fear.

    No, because writing for the onion right now, imagination would be completely useless

    The only thing that could possibly compete with the completely bonkers insanity that’s actually happening in our reality is an absolute Titanic amount of hallucinogens. And that’s a pretty risky bet as it is. like, it’s a “maybe“. and I don’t think any single person could possibly keep up. It would take a huge team of people constantly tripping to meet the onions weekly deadline of articles.

    And that is simply non-sustainable.

    I’m serious. Trumps Easter “Allahu Akbar” tweet may, in fact, be crazier than the onions famous “fuck everything we’re doing five blades“ article (if you haven’t read it, do yourself a favor and read it right now— for context, it was published just months before the Gillette Mach5 razor hit the market, seemingly predicting it)
