    The original beef tallow version was high in cholesterol. And McDonalds switched to a different vegetable oil in 2007 that's lower in trans fats.

    Why Is the Right So Obsessed with Seed Oils?

    I think it's hilarious they mess with both Trump and Harris supporters in the video but only one side actually got violent/tried causing physical harm by throwing objects.

    Real disappointed in the rolling stone for this article. It is well known how bad seed oils are. To try making "the right" look like conspiracy theorist for this, when this health stuff was 100% a liberal cause before Trump is mind-boggling.

    If you're cooking with any of those things (seed oils) then you're doing it wrong. Unsalted butter or pure olive oil only (in other words, not that "blend" processed olive oil crap).

    I’ve never heard of seed oils being a political thing but I guess everything is politicized in this culture.

    I guess a touched a nerve with you. The truth tends to do that. Starting with Bill Clinton’s proven lie under oath, to Hillary literally making up the Steele dossier to gaslight the American people about a cooked up Russia story to try to take down Trump, to broken water mains in Atlanta election night, to politicians like Leticia James running on a platform of putting Trump in jail, to Hunter Biden serving on Ukrainian gas company boards with absolutely no qualifications other than access to his daddy. They think they’re above the law.

    They want power and want to control the population, rather than serve the population. It’s a fundamental mindset difference.

    And here I thought Steele made up the Steele Dossier.

    Why do you think it is wise to blatantly lie about easily proven/disproven facts/disinformation?

    Now imagine what BigTexx would say if it was reported that Kamala had a side business that had a letter of intent with the Iranian government for a deal that would have net her and Doug millions.

    lol with your pathetic attempt at a gotcha. Hillary and company peddled the dossier for their advantage.

    I guess you’re crabby because Kamala is collapsing so badly.

    no nerve, you’re still a tool. Which sucks because the vast majority of Rice grads I know are exceedingly good and honest people.

    and like a good little Trumper, you decline to address my point - that slow vote counting is directly caused by Republican state legislatures and the laws they enacted. A real Rice grad would at least attempt to address this point head on.

    Yeah but did they?

    Word of the Steele Dossier predates Trump winning the R nomination.

    Hillary's campaign did pay Steele to continue the work that he had already started. When Hillary did not bludgeon Trump with the Steele Dossier, Steele himself leaked the dossier and made it as public as possible.

    One might argue that there were rumor campaigns wrt the Steele Dossier, before Steele went public. The MSM knew about it, but dismiss much of it as speculation.

    As far as Hillary campaign went, they thought that they were winning and that Trump's "Grab Them by the p***y" tape broke the Trump campaign. They felt that did not need to lead with the less-thn-rock-solid Steele Dossier. That was their mistake. Hillary likely loses either way.

    Turning to 2024, if Trump had anything like the Steele Dossier to use against Kamala, is there any doubt he would?

    I guess @bigtexxx you should continue to live in your fact free world and leave facts for the rest of us who can ... handle the truth.

    your post is embarrassingly incoherent and a strong cope. Hillary, the dems and the lefty media pushed the Russia hoax for years. All based on lies. That’s the point. You can try to rationalize it all you want, but it was shoved down the American public’s throat in a coordinated, intentional campaign. And those are the facts.

    The Steele dossier had its issues but the inquiry into Russian interference led to 34 indictments. The issues with Russia (and their support for Trump) were never a hoax.

    And the right whining about being Trump attacked for real issues is really rich given that they've pushed all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories about Hillary (as well as weaponizing sexism) since Bill ran for President.

    This is the real fact - Trump and the GOP are the bad guys. The voters who support them are complicit in this country's destruction and fully deserve whatever epithets are thrown their way.

    Just got back from voting, a little after 2 PM on a weekday and I had to wait in line for 15 minutes.

    I've been going to the same place for a decade, I've never had to wait more than a minute or 2 before.

    Nobody voting for Trump cares about facts. They will never get the truth from a pathological lying con.

    you need to get out of your echo chamber. Biden and Harris have been devastating to the country. Middle class has been killed by inflation, open borders have resulted in atrocious crime, and we have wars in Israel, Ukraine and possibly Taiwan on the horizon. They are incompetent and have been truly the bad guys for the country.
