I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.

They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can't have that happening.

So it's a good thing CB is changing back

I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don't have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They'll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that's what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.

If it encourages them to eat there, is it really such a bad thing, I mean t a diet heavy in the types of food Cracker Barrel sells can't be good for you and republicans hate healthcare. Seems like it might be a self-solving problem.

They hate healthcare until they need it. Then they have a sob story and create a GoFundMe.
