  • Yeah, Netflix released a documentary a few years ago called “White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch” that partially addressed what a fucking sleazy guy Mike Jeffries is. While it didn’t get into any claims related to this news, it definitely made it clear that he’s an asshole and solely responsible for Abercrombie’s pivot from being an outdoors oriented clothing brand to selling wildly unrealistic body standards to teenagers at malls in the 2000s. It’s been awhile, but from what I recall, nobody interviewed in the documentary had anything nice to say about him.

    And the irony is, Mike Jeffries looks like Gary Busey having a bad hair day, but he would’ve taken one look at me when I was 15 and been like “I don’t want him wearing our clothes, he’s too short and he’s got acne. Gross.” That’s the kind of prick he is. He despises anyone that doesn’t meet his standard of beauty and genuinely did not want “ugly” people wearing A&F.

    So I can’t say I’m all that surprised to learn he was doing much more horrific shit behind the scenes, too. And now with this news breaking, I’m just starting the count-down until he gets his own multi-part episode of Behind The Bastards.

    Dear Feasterville Community,

    We plan to be closed on Sunday, October 20 until 4 p.m., to accommodate a visit at the request of former President Trump and his campaign.

    While we are not a political organization, we proudly open our doors to everyone and as a locally owned and operated location, this visit provides a unique opportunity to shine a light on the positive impact of smal businesses here in Feasterville. We’re equally honored to share the significance of what 1 in 8 Americans have experienced: that a job at McDonald’s is more than just a job. It’s a pathway to critical skills development and meaningful career opportunties. Having started my McDonald’s journey as a crew member in New York nearty 30 years ago. this path to economic opportunity is especially meaningful to me.

    I apologize for the inconvenience of closing our restaurant and sincerely look forward to serving you very soon.

    This franchise owner has a lot of nerve… He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Hosting Donald Trump at your location for a staged photo op based on a manufactured controversy intended to mock Kamala Harris and anyone that’s ever worked a fast food job is as blatantly political as it gets. Fuck you, Derek.




  • “I am just a country lawyer, unaware of the ways of Washington, D.C., but I must comment on your statements regarding obedience to subpoenas lawfully issued by committees of Congress,” Barnes added, while highlighting what he claimed was Jordan’s hypocrisy.

    “I notice that you were issued with a subpoena of the committee of Congress, which investigated the January 6 insurrection against the government of the United States of America. You failed to appear before that committee. I therefore find your protestations regarding a normal citizen obeying subpoenaed to be somewhat hollow,” Barnes wrote.

    lmao got 'em. Seriously, though, how in the hell did Jim Jordan never end up in jail for pulling that crap. I’m getting really sick of the rules never applying to Republicans.




  • “I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

    If you don’t want a reputation for screwing over contractors then you should pay your damn contractors. But we all know Trump would’ve just made up a reason to stiff them even if everything went smoothly.

    But I do find it amusing that he’s this close to figuring out why his mic didn’t work in the first place. Good contractors have options and won’t work for a known dead beat. So all he can get are incompetent fools.
