    Look up at the sky, at the bright shapes of the Ronald Mcdonald air balloon floating there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in liberalism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal in Amerikkka.

    “I really want to take the moment to tell those grinches that believe they are going to disrupt the parade that it is not going to happen,”

    Eric Adams referring to pro Palestine protesters as "grinches"

    Also how is this guy still fucking mayor? We can't even lock him up for texting in plain text about doing bribery.

    They were arrested for not valuing the McNugget over human life. Every American knows about the sanctity of the $15 20 Piece mcnugget deal at McDonalds (participating stores). mccrucified

        Where? Just searched online, anywhere near me (Berkeley, California) the only steak I can find under 15 is tri tip. Any actual "first rate steak" is closer to $50-$80 for 3-5 of them (and it's not actually first rate, but say on the nicer side that a grocery store butcher would have). Then add the cost of gas to cook it, water and gas to clean up, some condiments or spices, and I don't see how I could get under ~$20 per steak at home.

          I think the problem is california. It's a very high col area. Reviewing prices of other foodstuffs, were I live should not be that different from a us average, some things like duck for example seem to be more expensive here.

          T bone is 8 dollars a kg, at my local butchers. a kg is about 3 or 4 . Granted, most of the time the quality is shit, so i don't buy anything, or I buy lamb wich has a more consistent quality and is 12 per kg. But when they do have decent quality beef it does not cost extra. I use mostly hardwood, wich costs about 30 to fill my whole pick up truck. That can easily last for over 30 grill uses.

          So for me 15 is a good diner for 4-5 people.

          Now I used to ship beef from the American border. Because like I said beef quality here is inconsistent. After shipping it a thousand km it still was under 20 usd a kilo so that's 19 American for a t bone. Ultimately it was not worth it.

      Right? It's like if you asked an AI to make the most American picture ever.
