Loves Cheesecake Factory so much he pretended to visit it
Barack Obama actually compared President Trump’s White House to Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory.
Imagine being a former president and thinking that’s a clever insult.
The Cheesecake Factory is a great American success story. Good food, hardworking employees, and millions of customers who love eating there.
Obama thought he was insulting Trump, but he managed to drag a popular American restaurant into his cheap political joke.
Americans are enjoying their cheesecake while Obama is still bitter about Trump.
What an embarrassment.

It’s truly wild how the only thing they are running on against Abdul is unvarnished racism.
Vance on El-Sayed: We have to understand what happens when our nation gives into these kinds of people with zero attachment to its land or to its history.
What we saw in France, the hatred, the ingratitude, the desire to destroy rather than a desire to build, that exact same cancer that has corrupted El-Sayed.

Everyone in the background of the video is either admiring her or going about their business.
Vast majority of folk in the replies and quote tweets are losing their tiny little minds.
What a cunty twitter page.

This makes no sense because The Punisher kills pedophiles, not befriend and help them.

Does this guy ever stop moaning?

Racist POS.

Seven years ago, Lula was in prison serving an unjust conviction.
Today, he is the re-elected president of Brazil.
In 2018, he said “there is no point in trying to end my ideas, they are already lingering in the air”.
Lula’s ideas don't just linger. They live!
Viva Lula!

Congratulations to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his reelection victory in Brazil.
Despite Big Tech oligarchs and Trump tilting the playing field against him, Lula prevailed.
He will continue to fight for Brazilian workers and democracy over the next four years.

La remontada del progresismo global acaba de comenzar.
