While the McDonaldās CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonaldās is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M ā over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
