I thought Trump was more of a McDonald's guy?

I'm sure his friend and #1 cheap whiskey aficionado Steve would be the one to prattle on about KFC's stereotypical target demographic...

I'm just waiting for it to be a crime to be white.

My favorite quote...

The Women’s March movement has been marred by complaints from some black and Latina women, who've raised concerns that their input is often disregarded or overlooked, the New York Times reported.

If you can't be bothered to show up to events that are organised specifically for your voice to be heard, you can't really complain about your voice not being heard.

That's a bit like comparing apples with...well...slightly different apples.

KFC with a fork? What is he, president or something? Posh 🤬.

Yeah. A part of me wonders if it's linked to the small hands...if he holds something of which we're all spacially familiar, the diminutive nature of his grabbers may be undeniable.

The link is behind a paywall. Is that the story about the January Women's March being cancelled because too many white people are showing up?

Who eats KFC with a fork? Get your fingers greasy and eat.

Yes, apparently it doesn't accurately represent the demographics of the local population. Interesting, a march designed just women doesn't anyway.

Must be a new requirement for marches these days, perfect demographic respresentation amongst the approved class of attendees.

Not associating yourself with a group that you feel supports The Nation of Islam is another good way. Groups didn't want to get on board with the Women's March for that reason. That meant that some important cross-society groups weren't prepared to be represented and so the event (a march and all the workshops around that) was cancelled.

It was a good call from a national group that wants to be inclusive but was finding that some of its policy choices were preventing that from happening. If it had gone ahead I could imagine people levelling just as much criticism at them for being exclusive.

Yes, telling everyone your marches have been "overwhelmingly white" and you need to change that, sounds like a very inclusive message.

Petty theft? Did I skip over a chunk of the article in scrolling past an ad?

While Americans consumed nearly 37 pounds per capita in 2017, it was not enough to reduce the country's 1.4 billion-pound cheese surplus, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The glut, which at 900,000 cubic yards is the largest in U.S. history, means that there is enough cheese sitting in cold storage to wrap around the U.S. Capitol.

37 pounds per capita? That's whey too much...

"The swollen region grew and hardened around the area on his arm where he’d injected his semen, and an x-ray revealed an area of trapped air beneath the man’s skin. The doctors immediately hospitalized the patient, treating him with an intravenous antimicrobial therapy. After the patient’s back pain improved,
