This poor little bird has an awful lot of enemies.

McDonald's reports quick-service restaurant traffic down nearly double digits in 3Q for lower income consumers, up nearly double digits for higher income consumers
But overall guest counts were contracting at McDonald's, which must mean the lower income traffic drop overwhelmed the increase from higher income consumers.
The traffic trend down for lower income consumers has persisted for almost two years, according to the story.
CNBC here.
... “Amid industry pressures, dynamic change, and aggressive competition, winning the fight for contracting traffic means staying customer-obsessed,” Erlinger wrote in the memo, which was viewed by CNBC. The company did not immediately respond to request for comment. ...
“While we maintained a positive comp guest count gap, overall [guest counts] continue to decline-- underscoring the need for disciplined pricing, value, and affordability,” he wrote in the memo. ...

Erick Erickson repeats the myth that Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot
Seen here:
“Lame duck status is going to come even faster now,” Erick Erickson, the popular conservative blogger and radio host, wrote on social media. “Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot, and that is never happening again.”
Turnout for Democrats was YUGE yesterday.
Trump did that:
In Virginia, 59% of the electorate said cuts to the federal government had affected their finances, and two-thirds of those voters backed Spanberger, who is on pace to win by 14 percentage points, the largest victory for a Democrat in a Virginia governor’s race in decades. A full 37% of the electorate said they cast a ballot to oppose Trump, with 99% of them voting for Spanberger.

Even Laura Ingraham, who used to have good sense about these things, climbs on the MAGA bandwagon of foolishness
"Do unto others before they do unto you".
Cernovich is delusional when he says that the absence of Trump on the ballot yesterday equated to lower voter turnout and GOP losses
Trump being absent from the ballot explains nothing about yesterday. This might come, however, from an ulterior motive in support of a Trump 2028 run. As such it is disinformation for his ignorant followers.
Yesterday's turnout was high, and arguably precisely because of Trump, for doing nothing about inflation and for literally beating people up in the streets everyday in ICE operations.
Who could be so stupid?
Virginia turnout yesterday broke the record.
NYC mayoral turnout yesterday was the highest since 1969.
New Jersey turnout yesterday at 3.2 million plus was higher than in 2021 at 2.6 million. Democrat voters were energized to turnout.
Gee, I wonder why?
Trump won in 2016 with the lowest turnout in two decades, when the GOP also won both House and Senate. Trump underperformed John McCain 2008 in 13 states in 2016. Hillary underperformed Obama 2008 in 39 states in 2016. It was truly a Revulsion Election. Nobody liked either one of them, they just disliked Hillary more.
But when turnout was at an all time high, in 2020, Trump lost everything: the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
Low turnout has almost always favored Republicans. It is tried and true election wisdom. High turnout not so much.
Cernovich is allied with the likes of OG MAGA Steve Bannon, an ex-con, who is probably the chief advocate of an illegal Trump 2028 run.
What a shock, right?

Trump, the head of the new party of violence, says assault and battery by immigration agents hasn't gone far enough
“Have some of these raids gone too far?” O’Donnell asked.
“No, I think they haven’t gone far enough because we’ve been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama,” Trump said.
“You’re OK with those tactics?” O’Donnell countered.

Vice President under George W. Bush, Dick Cheney has passed away at age 84
Cheney had had a heart transplant in 2012.
Maybe the best thing about him was that he was kicked out of Yale. Twice.
