Posted on 01/15/2019 4:11:30 PM PST by Trump20162020

Trump says they bought "1,000 burgers" for Clemson. "It was piled up a mile high," he said.

FACT CHECK: At two inches each, a thousand burgers would not reach one mile high.

Can I just say that I am so happy that all these media freaks have allowed themselves to become so deranged by my beloved President Trump, that they wind up sounding like snotty teenagers.

It’s a beautiful thing.

Media will never let up on Trump this was clear way back with the 2 Scoops of ice cream bogus criticism.

And with that I think I’ll avail myself of 3 Scoops with chocolate syrup and Redi whip right now.

I suspect Vladmir Putin was actually at McDonald’s and passed the cash to him, directly.

Blessed Hillary von Felonius Pantsuit only passed uranium to the Russkies.

President Trump bought ... McDonald’s.

This is a disaster bigger than Watergate.

I saw salads in other pics. Piles of salads.

And you know what goes on salads?

RUSSIAN DRESSING!!!

The evidence is overwhelming and the science is settled.

One thousand burgers at two inches each... 2000 inches.. divided by 12... 166.67 feet...

Have they never heard of hyperbole? Or just a plain old idiom?!

Gosh, no, that would take 31,680 burgers. We are dealing with 12-year-olds here. If there were such a thing as a journalistic Walk Of Shame, this little excrescence would have its own brick.

The WaPo wants me to pay a buck to read the rest of this thing. That's pretty funny all by itself.

I think they’ve found some real Russian Collusion here.

Or something. They’re very smart. They’re really on to something.

Or

They’re really ON something.

Either way, this is the type of article I truly, truly, honestly hope they keep writing.

It’s as good as anything else they’ve done. Actually, it’s more accurate.

Hyperbole-schmhyperbole. They are truly investigative reporters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Salads made with lettuce. Lettuce is kinda like cabbage. RUSSIANS eat lots of cabbage! Ergo, collusion dog whistle!

If Trump cured world hunger, he would be accused of starting an obesity epidemic.
If Trump caused all wars to end forever, he would be accused of.....

Yes we could go on and on with these!

There’s too much evidence to process. Someone contact David Gregory.

[cabbage]

Well, in “The Bedford Incident” they discovered bags of garbage from a submarine. Analysis showed that the bags contained remnants of potatoes, cabbage and cracked pepper.

RED cabbage, that is. From a RUSSIAN submarine.

So, like yeah, it all fits.

(BTW, I decided to try this and made my own recipe. Red cabbage, potatoes, onions, cracked pepper, salt, Italian dressing and butter). Fried up the potatoes, onions and cabbage in the skillet and added the other stuff here and there.

Not too bad.

But then, I’m a Russian bot.....

Dah, comrade is hungry for Quarter Pounder with Cheese now.

FACT CHECK: At two inches each, a thousand burgers would not reach one mile high.

FACT CHECK: The White House ceilings are just over 12 feet high.
FACT CHECK: A mile is 5280 feet.
FACT CHECK: Anyone smarter than a goldfish already knew that the burgers could not have been a mile high if they were indoors.
FACT CHECK: The Washington Post needs smarter journalists; they should start with a few goldfish, which would be a step up from their current crop of hacks.

Does this Bump idiot actually get paid to write for the Washington Post? Perhaps Bezos just uses him to wipe his ass.
