What the fuck kind of hilarious nonsense is this
Is she planning to deploy the military against protestors and have them seize the voting machines? Or destroy the departments of Education and Labor? No? Okay, cool, she’s got my vote. Now let’s move on to talking about either (a) how to make sure she wins, or (b) how we can get better behavior out of the Democrats on Gaza and climate policy.
Get this Fox News horseshit out of here, pls and thank you
Can they actually prove anyone worked at McDonalds that long ago? Aside from saving a pay stub for 40 years I don't see how one could prove or disprove such a thing, I doubt the company keeps records of every employee that far back.
She could have worked for a franchisee, too. If that was the case, a SMB owner is definitely not going to have those records after all this time
Assuming that franchise is still even open. How long does the US gov hold onto tax returns? The IRS says there's usually no need to keep them after 6 years. The best evidence they could find would probably be a coworker that corroborates the story or a photograph of Harris behind the counter working. The photo seems unlikely, and how many coworkers from 30 years ago do you remember?
The Social Security Administration has a record of every employer that's ever paid you and how much they paid you each year.
They have to for paying out social security.
I can't think of any way how I could proof the first job I had during school in the late 90's. I was working in a restaurant kitchen, peeling potatoes and stuff. You don't take photos there or keep name tags or other keepsakes. It was a shitty job, you want to forget about it, as soon as you left the premises.
Kamala Harris' job is even longer ago. 40 years is a long time to keep paystubs or something. There were no camera phones back then, no digital footprint you could recreate. That she can't produce any proof, doesn't proof anything.
Social security records.
90s is nothing, a normal person could get it in a month, one of her aids could probably get it in an hour.
Does it matter tho?
Eh, it would be fucked up if she just flat out lied, but it's hard to imagine she would lie about that.
If she proves it tho, they'll make a new stupid claim and if she doesn't prove it they'll use this as evidence that she would prove it if it wasn't true.
How to know when OP is unhinged and divisive:
People are agreeing with givesomefucks, who often gets down voted for unpopular views.
... who cares?
Sometimes people bounce from one job to another. College jobs don't have to be her identity.
When someone tells me they worked a specific job in college, I have never once doubted the truth of that statement. Why would anyone have reason to lie about such a thing? If it was a complete lie, you'd constantly be at risk of being exposed by a close friend who knew the truth, which is WAY WORSE for a presidential candidate. To even explore this as Snopes is pro-Trump.
where did Trump work
We could check his tax returns to findohwaitaminute!
Stolen McValor 🤦♂️
ITT: disinformation influencers and bad faith shills, and a bunch of people not putting up with their shit
They need to find someone who actually ate one of Harris’s alleged burgers and can testify that it was at least as good as the ones Trump served in the White House—otherwise why should anyone vote for her?
Oh my God who cares. Donald Trump has never worked a day in his goddamn life. Frankly I could not care less what Kamala Harris' summer job was
I worked for Burger King in the 80's and you'd never be able to prove that, either. I worked much longer for Sears in the 80's and I wouldn't be able to prove that, either. This is completely pointless.
I don't even know I'd be able to prove I served in the Army Reserve for six years if it weren't for my DD214.
When she's elected I hope McDonald's throws up a giant "Employee of the Month" poster. ;)
This is just sad. Whether she lied about McDonald's or not has no bearing at all on who I will vote for in the coming election. In the grand scheme of things this is meaningless. In fact if this is literally all that can be dug up about Harris it kind of speaks highly of her.
At the end of the day we all lose cause essentially elections are coming down to whoever is the lesser of two evils and not someone you stand behind.
You need a hobby.
What a fucking non-story. "Retail giant keeps poor records of its disposable employees from FORTY FUCKING YEARS AGO". Piss off.
Holy shit who gives a fuck? Jesus christ, conservatives. Grow the fuck up. You are all are mentally 12 years old and act like it. What's next? You gonna make a big deal about something she wore once?
