      It’s the new line of Republican attacks on Kamala as they try anything they can think of.

      They found out that she likes Doritos, because she said that when she won her election for the Senate in 2016, she ate a bag of Doritos watching the election results on TV as she mentally accepted the mandate to fight for her state of California against whatever Trump had in store to antagonize them. So now Republicans have decided that eating Doritos when pondering on one’s life is beneath the dignity of a head of state.

        Meanwhile, Trump’s White House kept its kitchen stocked with Doritos… here’s purportedly a rundown of his diet from 7 years ago, which is the timeframe they’re talking about here…

        Similar dietary preferences have been reported numerous places over the years, with Doritos specifically being mentioned fairly often.

        Also, didn’t he do some kind of promotion with Doritos and Frito-Lay like 20 years ago? Are those “look for real and online cash” promotional materials I see on eBay and whatnot for real? Was that a thing? I don’t recall it being a thing in Canada, but perhaps it was a thing in the US? I mean, there’s a bunch of this stuff on eBay…

          Also if there were Kamala themes salty Doritos I would eat a bag every day just to mock the maga children I work with

        Holy shit, can they criticize her on anything of substance? What’s with all these stupid nothing-burger attacks?

      It’s just the best-known brand of nacho chips, which was needed for the pun.

        Ah ok. There was another Doritos related post earlier and I thought ich_iel’s food-based meme culture was slipping over.

        But I can relax now, comforted by the knowledge that I’m not crazy, it’s just that this season of our show is sponsored by delicious, crunchy, Frito Lay products.
