DEVELOPING: Kamala campaign has stopped referencing her alleged job at McDonald's and won't respond to media questions seeking the location of the McDonald's store and the dates of her employment at McDonald's, which appears nowhere in her memoirs or early resumes...developing...

Then they'll lie about lying. "I didn't say that!"
ReplyDeletePathological SOBs.
This is how stupid they are. They think they can tell some little fable to make themselves look good and nobody will bother to check.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how pathetic do you have to be to lie about working at McDonald's? Not just a lie, but a stupid one. At the debate, I think Trump ought to ask her, "So, how much did you make per week? What was your manager's name? What was the address of the place?"
ReplyDeleteHow pathetic to you have to be to cast you mother, a medical researcher and university professor, as "working class?"
DeleteHow pathetic do you have to be to retcon your hometown from Berkeley to Oakland, most likely because the former is "academic" and the latter "blue collar?"
She misspoke.
ReplyDeleteWhat she meant to say was, "Cackle cackle."
Just a slip of the tongue.
Nah, it was, uh... bad grammar!
DeleteYeah, that's it!
I can think of a reason she may not want to talk about it: Raised by her Hindu Brahmin mother, who would have been vegetarian and especially opposed to beef (sacred cow): Brahmins see it as a sin even to cook beef for others.
ReplyDeleteSo I read she cooked fries, like she was avoiding the beef. Maybe eventually she ate beef herself - against her mother's upbringing. Too complicated to explain so just avoid the subject. Upset her mother when she was still alive even. Not all Hindus are vegetarian but her grandfather is from one of the strictest 'castes'.

I mean she SAID she cooked fries, when she did talk about it. Why fries? I wondered. Then I remembered - Hindu Brahmin beef taboo. Maybe that's what she told her mother anyway.

Although back in the day, Mickey D's used beef tallow (at least partially) making their fries. And the reason they stopped was because a Hindu dude found out and complained.
DeleteAnd aficionados have claimed that the fries have never been as good since.
One Hindu was explaining they cook in ghee to get the beef taste - they know it's delicious, just forbidden. Like one Jewish friend who used to love the smell of pork, 'We're allowed to smell it' he said, 'Just not allowed to eat it'. Forbidden fruit!
ReplyDeleteJD Vance's wife Usha is also Brahmin but a different sub-branch to Kamala's mum. I listened to her interviewed and she's much more direct and lucid than Kamala's word-salad. That's really the problem - Kamala's communication lack-of-skills.
- Bruce
Maybe Kamala doesn't want to play into the stereotype of Indians being smart.
DeleteBut since she's marketing herself as black now, that shouldn't be a problem - unless she's afraid of looking like she's copying Obama, who notably astonished Biden by being clean and articulate.
Hahaha, oh man. Stephen that's good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's necessary to put too much effort in parsing this; I think she lied, period. If she can prove she worked at McDonald's, I'll eat there every day for a week.
ReplyDeleteNobody just makes fries.
ReplyDeleteYou drop the basket and when it buzzes, someone walks over and dumps it and shakes salt on them.
If all you do is 'make fries', that means you're too stupid to put mustard and catsup on a bun......
Huh, maybe she did just make fries.
I believe I understand Kamala's mother and the tidbits which come through in the daughter, that's all. I've spent a lot of time with Tamil Brahmins, even invited to their exclusive club in Mylapore (old Madras).
ReplyDeleteE.g. the coconut tree analogy is actually profoundly conservative, but K's followers missed that. It means 'You young people should respect your ancestors!' and all the generations before who made your life possible. A coconut just appears on the ground, seemingly without parents, unlike humans.
Other than that I find Kamala weird.
- Bruce
Oh, and coconuts are everywhere in Tamil culture, food, huts made of cocnut leaves, and in their version of Hinduism where every devotee must smash a coconut before the idol in the temple, to bring good fortune. (I think c'nuts were substituted for blood sacrifices at some stage, but now it must be coconuts, in every ritual, even a wedding.)
