14. TACO: Cheeto and the Cattlemen both!

Thursday

Remember, in '98, when they sued Oprah after she aired a video clip showing revolting slaughterhouse conditions?

The Cattlemen's Assoc. claimed they lost some relatively minor amount of money - and (of course), Rash Lumpballs turned it into another culture war flashpoint.

They lost - in an Amarillo court! - and Farce News caterwauled all day as to how "this would destroy the beef industry - the pride of America!"

And now? Crickets.

Trump could bomb their cattle ranches, and they'd still justify him.
