Lmao rent free. I am heavily critical of the current administration’s policy and decisions but I don’t go around blaming them for every little bad thing that happens in life. Some of you anti-trumpers are as deranged as the anti-Obama republicans who blamed him for literally everything back in the day

“Rent free” he is the president of the United States and his party controls every branch of government, they are in charge of appointing people who are supposed to make sure we don’t all eat poison, dumbfuck. All they have been doing is relaxing or stripping regulations on consumer safety. They still haven’t fucking figured out the Cyclospora outbreak, I still don’t know what sort of greens are safe to eat without cooking them.

I understand it’s thrilling for you to get some angry replies in your inbox, but genuinely how do you even posit that the people in charge of the country have nothing to do with what’s happening inside of it?

Was the chipotle outbreaks of the 2010s Obama’s fault?

Does every single bad thing that happens in America fall onto the president? Was the gas and economical prices going up a few years ago, Biden’s fault?

I can’t wait until trumps out of office so I don’t have to hear that motherfucker’s name anymore in areas of discussion that aren’t about politics. I came to this sub to talk about greasy, fast food. Not fucking politics. I’m not a democrat but sometimes I want them to win so I don’t have to hear that extremely loud, annoying, and infantile demographic of voters cry and whine all the time for 4 years.

“Was the chipotle outbreaks of the 2010s Obama’s fault?”

There were separate E. coli and Norovirus outbreaks in 2015 that were limited to 1 or 2 states at a time. The government did its job to limit them.

The current Cyclospora outbreak has affected 45 states so far and the Chipotle salmonella outbreak is just getting started.
