OMG!! President Biden Drinks Shake From a Straw, Fux News Goes Bonkers! (news at eleven)

Aldous J Pennyfarthing (author of Dear Fkng Lunatic) always makes me laugh. As does the Cap (a.k.a. showercapblog.com)

President Biden drinks shake through straw, Fox loses it, Jimmy Kimmel claps back - Dailykos

We’ve finally found a presidential scandal to rival Teapot Dome, Watergate, and the legion of horrors Donald Trump visited on our heads that somehow got memory-holed faster than Barack Obama’s tan suit. Sure, Trump may have ignored a deadly pandemic and tried to overthrow the U.S. government before spending the next three years working on a children’s version of “Mein Kampf” (and by “working on,” we of course mean “reading”), but at least he’d never drink a milkshake through a straw. Right?

You KNOW they would be hoping for a big spill so they could talk about Biden being so old he can't drink a milkshake without wearing it.

you either need a spoon or you have to let it melt before you drink it. If you do that, however, you risk getting the shake all over yourself.

And remember when the clowns pitched a b-------- because Obama once saluted Marines on the tarmac while holding a coffee in the other hand??

I mean, HEY, it's not like Obama called the nation's top brass the "dumbest people he's ever met" or called American trooops "suckers and losers" or said of America's prisoners of war, "I like people who weren't captured" -

like the BONESPURS in CHIEF had reportedly done.

You've just given yourself away, Jesse Watters. You might have have an "unblemished record of heterosexuality" as you've past claimed, but there's something going on.

You also said "unbecoming." My gay father would use that word, but none of the straight men I know.

I get brain freezes from regular drinking, while a straw keeps me from drinking too much at once--the cause of brain freeze. Besides, a lid with straw keeps cold drinks cooler for longer than leaving them uncovered in a glass.

Of course, there’s also the inconvenient fact that Trump not only uses straws but also sold straws for a time to raise funds for whatever it is he raises funds for. (Mostly campaigning, defending himself against a raft of felony charges, and attempting to corner the global lard market.)

Could it be his vanity? Probably.

He's also hard of hearing and has trouble understanding questions shouted by journalists, and that's why he hates to do pressers. These are problems that some old people have. It won't stop him from ridiculing Joe Biden every chance he gets
