    Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if Obama did any of this?

    I don’t know if we have enough perals in existence to clutch.

            For tourists, it’s supposed to be Cheez Whiz (“wiz wit” means Cheez Whiz and onions). Anyone with functioning taste buds orders provolone.

              So provolone is an offered option, and someone ordering it with that option gets shade for it?

              Yet one more reason I will never understand other people. I hate having been born

                Well, they get shade for provolone if they’re a Democratic presidential candidate and piece-of-shit Republican operatives like Karl Rove are looking around for any way to make them look unappealing to middle American. This one was extra-stupid because probably a majority of people in Philly prefer provolone on their steaks. I could never be president myself because I order steaks with marinara sauce.

        I love how people repeat this meme as if Obama’s record is somehow sacrosanct.

        We’ll just forget his kill list, his support of torture, his brutlization of Occupy, his militarization of the police, etc. etc. etc.

            Only if you don’t view them as the incremental steps toward fascism that they are.

            Past presidents crawled so Trump could walk.

              And painting Trump as absolute evil incarnate that popped out of nowhere ensures not addressing the structural conditions that made Trump possible

                It is remarkable that so many are using the word ‘unprecedented’, as if they just slept through all the torture and fascism of the War on Terror. Also a little sickening watching self-identified liberals helping Dubya rehab his image and revise his history.

          They’re making fun of the fact that the Right completely lost their minds at Obama wearing a tan suit but ignore or applaud Trump pulling bullshit like this.

          What you’re talking about is actually a whole different conversation. One that should be had, yes, but not related to how the Right gives a massive pass to anything a Rich White Male does.
