Trump-themed burger joint that was raided by ICE has been replaced by new restaurant

a year ago by vegeta to c/politics

Trump Burger, in Houston, Texas, was open for just over five months before it closed its doors following a series of legal battles and has been replaced by a pizza joint

Overpriced burgers with "TRUMP" stamped on the bun. Why can't I think of some grift like that? I could be making bank. Stupid conscience.

Yeah, but you'd also have to be dealing with Trump supporters all day, overhearing their trump-loving conversations, and telling you how excited they are that you're running this business to serve them and the man they love, so .... What price sanity?

They look burned on, so they are possibly technically carcinogenic too.

Please go away with your own research and made-up facts. We are having a perfectly fine rage-on over here. These aren't some random Tetris tiling that's been there for decades, it's a clear sign of degenerate behavior by those other people.

I'm not entirely convinced that this dude didn't open up the joint as purposeful satire to make money off stupid MAGA cultists.

I would. You know how tempting it is to make some idiot trump branded piece of shit product and get MAGA to eat it up? These people are literally cultists just waiting to give you their money; and if pretending to be one of them on the surface makes me rich off their stupidity...hey...it's tempting.

I'm almost sure that's what happened here.

It is. The side looks kinda Spanish tho.

The side does resemble an ICE vehicle, but yeah, I think it just sort of mashed some things up and got things wrong there too.

I guess @givesomefucks@lemmy.world doesn't know that you can host GANs on your own computer to train models and generate images on your own system for the same electrical cost associated with playing a video game.

Or instead of pretending that that's what you're doing, you can spend five hours learning how to photoshop, and express an ounce of your human fucking creativity. Alternatively, you can do none of that and walk around in the park.

I can generate this kind of shit on my own pc and it doesn't even go past to solar limits of the house. Idk what the datacenters use water for but doing it at home doesn't, unless maybe in power generation where there is no solar or wind.

Clearly the energy and fuel is better spent sending a photographer and actors to a place with leopards for a meme. Without paying them for their time of course.

Signs for Empire Pizza on the old building were reported by KHOU 11 Monday, though it is uncertain whether the restaurant is open to the public yet.

I believe that building is cursed.

A pizza joint. But a more appropriate type of establishment would have been a face-themed restaurant for leopards.
