I am ashamed they did this. I worked for Burger King as a teen. We made fun of the queers.

Grotesque rumor I heard from a friend on Signal is that ‘Double Whopper’ is a gay codeword thing for two pieces of meat sleeping together in the same bed.

Now I’ll never eat one again.

This isn’t the Babylon Bee?
So a burger company thought it was a good idea to switch the buns so your choice is lots of sesame seeds or burnt tasteless bread?
And that was supposed to honor those people who need a long unpronounceable acronym to feel good about themselves?

And why did they think they would sell more burgers by associating them with sexual practices?

The current hysterical insanity is expanding.

My nine year old was talking about it being pride month—not your grandmother’s (Canadian) Catholic School—so I mentioned that pride was one of the seven deadly sins and explained why in a sufficiently veiled way, with the result being that she said that I had ruined the rest of the month for her.

They are colouring unicorns with rainbows.

I was wondering if there was going to be a wrath month.

This would be a good time to watch the movie “Seven.”

Any sufficiently woke statement is indistinguishable from satire.

They should just change the name of their establishments from "Burger King" to "Burger King & Queens".

So you're saying that the federal land of Fort Sumter island belonged to the state of South Carolina? So you're saying that Jefferson Davis didn't order an attack on Fort Sumter before Lincoln even took office in March 4, 1861?

One could argue that the Civil War began as Democrat President Jefferson Davis vs Democrat President James Buchanan. Confederate soldiers at Citadel was firing on a supply ship for Fort Sumter on January 9, 1861 -- almost 2 months before Lincoln took office. On March 1, 1861 Davis put Beauregard in charge of the siege of Sumter --- 3 days before Lincoln took office. Buchanan was still Commander-in-chief then. Buchanan was the first to tell Union soldiers to stay put on the federal land of Fort Sumter. The war was already going on before, as you put it, "Abe Lincoln promptly declared war".

About Lincoln and Maryland: what'd they expect? Maryland surrounded DC geographically on 3 sides. People in Maryland tried to assassinate Lincoln as he toured there after the election. Confederate states were already attacking before Lincoln took office, making anybody with sense in DC at least worried that slavery-supporting Maryland will use its geographic position to attack. John Merryman in Maryland destroyed telegraph lines (an act of sabotage) with Democrat judges in Maryland refusing to charge him for it, hoping that would let him be free while continuing to do more sabotage. The governor of Maryland was destroying bridges of interstate railroads -- another act of sabotage, which Merryman was also part of. Thus, US Constitution Article I Section 9's "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it" certainly seemed to apply for Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus in that area.

I'm not saying Lincoln was perfect. I'm just saying things were turning to chaos quickly in war he inherited that started as Democrat vs. Democrat with the officials of surrounding Maryland making it clear they were going to be part of the Confederate war machine while stealthily claiming to be neutral. I think Lincoln deserves a little slack for having to make hard decisions in just his first few months in office against the Democrat war machine that was already going to war at us.

You can never be woke enough because they keep moving the goalpost.

I’ve never heard that. I hated it, because it was too sexually explicit. Well, not for everyone, but the explicitness was why BK probably thought homosexuals would like it.

I prefer whole wheat bread, so I’d probably prefer two bottoms better.

What does two pieces of meat mean? Someone from the bath house?
