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

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!

"Notably, Trump did not wear a hairnet or gloves while serving food, claiming that “my hands are clean already.” This assertion stands in stark contrast to health standards that require food handlers to maintain strict hygiene protocols.
In fact, the McDonald’s location Trump visited has a recent history of health code violations, having failed its last health inspection from Bucks County. The report cited multiple infractions related to employee hygiene, particularly the lack of proper handwashing practices, which are essential for minimizing the risk of foodborne illness."
I love how he mocked Harris saying she never worked there or whatever and then does a publicity stunt but can’t even follow the most basic rules of the job. Someone actually working that position would be terminated for health code violation.
Or maybe they wouldn't, given the history of infractions at that location.
Wasn’t one excuse he gives for eating at McDonalds is because he knows he won’t be poisoned? Like when he was in the White House, with a fancy ass kitchen staff full of top chefs he’d still rather get McDonald’s.
Its 100% this, altho I can't tell if he's more worried about the Russians or some rando he fucked over previously.
The funny thing about Mar-a-Lago is how grounded and accessible it is
I think I would trust White House staff before I would trust McDonald's staff. I'm sure whatever McDonald's they were ordering from was having their employees vetted anyway.
To think of it if a person was really into McDonald's that deeply they could just send fresh ingredients every week.
Yeah we went a civil war, two world wars, and a Cold War alongside many other conflicts and 4 successful and a ton of unsuccessful assassination attempts on presidents yet to my knowledge no attempted assassinations of a US president have been via White House food
What Russians has he even fucked over?
As someone who ran a restaurant kitchen for 5 years, this is called a lack of standards. Oh I forgot gloves? Meh. That's a slippery slide that shows you don't actually care or have standards, and you throw rules by the side when it suits you. That a sign of a shit worker.
This is called "someone who doesn't wash when they go to the bathroom because they say their hands are clean already." That's what this is called.
I can't wait until they're on the news next year because they were shut down because every business Trump touches turns to shit. Like the King Midas of poop. King Poodass.
King mierdas. Mierda is spanish for shit.
Looks like we have photographic evidence of more health code violations. Who do we contact?
The restaurant is closed, so as long as they claim they threw away everything he touched they should be fine.
The health inspector has declared anything that is an official act no longer violates the laws of microbiology.
I'm kind of a germaphobe and am big on washing hands, but if I were a mcdonalds employee, there's just no way I'd have gloves on to put out the hamburger patties then take the gloves off, and wash my hands, then put another set of gloves on to do other food prep stuff.
I'm not washing my hands between every glove swap. You don and doff your gloves correctly there's no reason to.
Yeah I've watched some of those mcdonald's shift videos and I cringe at the amount of gloves constantly being used for 3 seconds then thrown away
If you're changing to something that needs a glove change that often, than you're probably screwing up somewhere. You take money or wipe off counters or handle raw meat, you need to change gloves.
But washing your hands after you take off gloves, before putting another pair of gloves on?
Ew.
Thank you for your service.
I can't thank the presidential candidate for his service though, since there wasn't any.
