But the red and white exterior of its some 1,950 locations belie a fast food workhorse, one that has not only usurped the drive-thru fried chicken throne from the much larger KFC (which had 4,403 U.S. locations at the end of 2015), but is now more profitable than every pizza brand in the country.
The church is not the state, but the principle must be the same: When that founding freedom is usurped by those who abuse their God-given authority over ordinary folks -- even if that usurper is the Pope, and the ordinary folks (in this instance) are the bishops, charged with protecting the faithful -- you have Dictablanda.
Conway argued that under Comey, "integrity and morale were down" at the FBI and he had "usurped" power from then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch by recommending that no charges be brought against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonLewandowski on potential NH Senate run: If I run, 'I'm going to win' Fighter pilot vs.
The people of Afghanistan have historically done the only thing people know to do when they have been abandoned by their leaders, and when the only system of fairness and equity they know has been usurped by the powerful and the greedy; they have taken matters into their own hands, through whatever means they had.
But the jacket usurped the intended good she had wanted to do by visiting the border for herself, the first Trump family member to have done so -- it would become the calling card for her critics, a moment of sheer tone-deafness that Trump later chalked up to sending a message to the meddling media.
The one glimmer of hope: it could be the Last Dongling for quite some time (until USB-C is usurped as a standard, if that should come to pass.) The move to USB-C would make sense, as it's already an industry standard, unlike the Lightning port and connector, which are proprietary Apple creations.
The separation of powers, a fundamental principle of the United States Constitution, between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government has been usurped with a separation of party loyalties across the branches of government by party devotion and conformance demands without regard to the politician's oath of office or their constitutional duties and responsibilities.
The beloved brands of old – Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, Gap – are stale and they were initially usurped by American Apparel and then fully shattered by upstarts like American Giant, Supreme, and the rest of that Massdrop/Acryonym/Facebook/RageOn world that brings custom fashion to you at a discount (or, in some cases, a decided non-discount).
It had been a dramatic transformation: just six years after those tape-delayed 1981 Finals between the Celtics and the Rockets drew a Nielsen rating of 6.7, the Lakers and the Celtics pulled a 15.9 for their Finals showdown; in 1992, the Dream Team won Olympic gold and usurped the Beatles as the most famous people in the world.
Wilson, as it happens, is a favorite Claremont bête noire: the founder of the modern "administrative state," the unelected, unaccountable rule-by-bureaucracy that has, the story goes, usurped the founders' vision of rule by the people (and which reached its apogee with Barack Obama, Mr. Kesler argued in his 2012 book, "I Am the Change").
"You have usurped the right of the people to make a decision that's fully within their power," Roxanne Weber, a software engineer from Pierre, told a state Senate committee on Wednesday, before the panel voted to send the plan to repeal the ethics package to the full Senate — a final step before it can go to the governor.
Spencer has usurped Father Gabriel as Alexandria's most useless inhabitant: Gabriel at least has the presence of mind to pretend that Maggie is dead to account for her absence when Negan asks about her, whereas Spencer just spends the episode continuing to undermine Rick, with his hidden gun stash putting everyone (especially poor Olivia) in danger.
The city had only recently usurped Paris as the center of contemporary art with the rise of Abstract Expressionism, a distinctly American painting style defined by spontaneous marks and obsessive explorations of color, which by the beginning of the '50s had become a world-famous aesthetic movement thanks to artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning.
The plot, as in Arcadia, follows Basilius's attempt to thwart the Oracle's dire prophecy — his daughters, Philoclea (Alexandra Socha) and Pamela (Bonnie Milligan), will fall prey to unsuitable suitors, one a liar and the other not a man; he and his wife, Gynecia (Rachel York), will (somehow) commit adultery with each other; and his crown will be usurped by a worthier king.
Williams also suffers from chronic status anxiety, despairing over the slow start to his film career (which doesn't achieve box-office liftoff until "Good Morning, Vietnam" in 1987), and, even after he has become a bona fide movie star, fretting that his place in the comedy firmament is being usurped by some upstart — say, Jim Carrey during his "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" ascendancy.
Let's go to the videotape to review: First, the Justice Department inspector general found that Comey wrongly usurped the powers of the attorney general when he chose to make his own decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton in the classified email investigation and that he violated department policies by announcing the re-opening and the closing of the Clinton email case, the latter just days before Election Day.
At a time when the United States is overflowing with initiatives aimed at remembering a painful and unfair past — marking the places where lynchings occurred, where native lands were usurped, where Japanese-Americans were interned — installing some sort of monument at places like the Johnston Regional Airport would help to remind Americans of the suffering inflicted in their name at an ordinary place that is not remote from their everyday lives.
Vautier's "ego equals art" position has long been in the process of being usurped by Robert Filliou's development of the concept of Eternal Network — Filliou and George Brecht closed their art space La Cédille Qui Sourit in Villefranche in 153 and announced the formation of this network — which holds that the purpose of art is to make life more important than art (a communications concept that foreshadowed other networks subsequently made possible by the internet).
While a bunch of young adults hopped up on Red Bull measured by a decibal reader is perhaps not the best indicator of cultural tendencies, at last weekend's enthralling Culture Clash event—that Red Bull flew me out to attend—in a warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Zaytoven was usurped by Kranium, the New York dancehall artist carving a path for his Jamaican-indebted songs wherever the speakers blast loudest.
A coalition of conservative groups has filed an ethics complaint against Speaker Nancy PelosiNancy Pelosi50 Cent meets with Pelosi, lawmakers on Capitol Hill Democrats raise stakes with impeachment vote Overnight Energy: House passes bill to prohibit mining near Grand Canyon| Union says EPA refuses to renegotiate contract | Climate protesters occupy Pelosi's office over California fires MORE (D-Calif.) claiming that she has usurped authority from the executive branch and "weaponized" the impeachment process.
Other work that examined the contentious, political nature of landscapes: At Pinta Art Fair, in Karina Chechik's mixed media work, "Hacia la Tierra del Fuego" (included in "Neither Barbarism nor Civilization: Cultures in Dialogue," a project by the General Consulate and Center for the Promotion of the Argentinian Republic in Miami and curated by the Aluna Curatorial Collective) she re-traces maps of her native Argentina to highlight the spaces named and usurped by colonizers.
