Orange Fries With That?

Excerpt:
"Trump says he spent some time over the weekend working at a McDonalds to establish that he has worked at McDonalds longer than Kamala Harris – whose claims that she worked at McDonalds cannot be verified. Which strongly suggests she did not. McDonalds is a major corporation and they keep records of such things. Also, such things can usually be corroborated by friends and family who would know whether the person did – or didn’t.
I did, when I was in high school back in the ’80s. Anyone who wanted to verify it could, either with McDonalds or by checking with people who knew me when I was in high school. I have no problem saying I worked at McDonalds because I did. Harris says she did. The distinction is important.
Harris has also been saying she didn’t work as the Biden Thing’s “Border Czar” – an oddly autocratic title to hold for a person who says she is committed to “democracy.” But we know she did hold that position. Which she now pretends she didn’t.
The two juxtapose in interesting ways. Both are suggestive of extreme and unabashed fraudulence. Of the species of lying that’s so in-your-face it’s difficult for psychologically normal people to grasp the depth of it. Trump is certainly many things but there is a streak of authenticity that vibes with people. It manifests in his un-TelePrompter’d insults, which though perhaps boorish are at least . . . authentic. No one else writes his material. When Harris hasn’t got things to say written by other people she tends to laugh unnaturally while gesticulating strangely, in the manner of the kicking at the air of a dog just hit by a car."
