The difference between the treatment Trump people are getting vs Bush admin people is very, very different. This is not like the '01-'04 Bush years in any way shape or form.

Very well said, I hope you tweeted this at her silly ass.
She deserves zero empathy. You don't stay in such a high pressure job simply by being ignorant.

I would, but admittedly I don't have a twitter account. I value my sanity too much to deal with a lot of social media. :P
Who the fuck cares? The President is riding around with a dude who mocked a disable girl who was separated from her family.
Eating at Mexican places in DC is completely deliberate because they're trying to "trigger the libs."
And it's fine, the reaction of "f you" is completely deserved.
She works for an administration that is ripping families apart at the southern border and yet people worry about where denying service to said people will lead too.....
The strategy of trying to avoid giving the GOP "ammo" has only resulted in them walking all over everyone.
I can kind of see what you are saying here, kind of the "they go low, we go high" thing, but honestly, I am almost out of fucks to give at this point regarding "civility". I have always taken great pains to be civil in my discourse with those who differ in their politics with myself, but the shit we are seeing with Trump and conservatives now is and has been beyond the pale for far too long. The right has been and will always claim all sorts of things about the left - all they need is some random on Twitter or Facebook to say something even mildly critical about the right and they all collectively clutch their pearls. Meanwhile, they have taken the level of discourse so low you would need advanced drilling technology to reach the depths they have taken it. Honestly, I am not all that thrilled with the notion of kicking people out of a restaurant simply because of their political beliefs, but I am completely down with the idea that people who lie constantly, demonize entire racial/ethnic groups, implement terrible policies, and a whole host of other things I do not have time or inclination to list, should face consequences for their choices.
I didn't say anything in that regard one way or the other. She's doing a horrible thing but it's a behavior that's endemic to American culture at this point. Feel free to judge her but I'm just saying she's as much a mere symptom of a nationwide disease as Trump. It's got to stop but I can't even imagine how it's possible when over half the country is seriously addicted to denial. FFS it's gotta be ten times worse than the opioid crisis.
They need to know that their positions and views aren't going to be tolerated everywhere and elicit a strong reaction. They've been separating fucking children. Decorum can fuck right off with the Golden Rule, too.
Being a racist is not a protected class. If a customer walks up wearing an SS outfit, should they serve that person?
I'm actually going to make a full blown yelp account to 5 Star that place. Join me, comrades.
Remember how stupid it sounded when Bari Weiss said that people being mean to her made her more likely to agree with the Alt-Right?
"Do as I say, not what I do because it's my right to be a bigot and a shitty human begin, but as soon as you do it, you're a liberal elitist who hates freedom and are trampling the constitution."
Always did laugh at that spurious argument. "You know, that liberal calling me a bitch really did make me question whether or not those calling for a white ethnostate in America might be on to something."
It's nice you have a pet theory, but I am saying that your theory doesn't apply when it's a high pressure job. It's a million times easier to get away with being ignorant when you're not challenged on it everyday.
For Colorado voters, I'm currently debating between voting for Polis and Kennedy for the governor race. I like both candidates. but Kennedy is edging out for me partly due to her blunt of the race being focused on education. But I'm truly not sure, I could go either way right now for Polis or Kennedy. Any thoughts on this race? I'm also amenable to Johnston if someone wants to argue for him. The hard part is most of these Democrats are similar in policies (with Polis slightly showing to be the most progressive out of the bunch).
there immigration and concentration camp shit might of been the tipping point.
everyone I know is beyond furious, and disgusted.
I hope this continues.
fuck everyone in this admin and its supporters.
fuckin' nazis
Almost like racism is endemic to the party and you'll never be "one of the good ones."
I hope everyone in the Trump WH spends the rest of their lives dateless and stuck eating at home.
Using her official WH account to complain about being refused service and attack a private citizen. That's just pathetic.
I have seen people take denial to amazing extremes well beyond the point of delusion or even incoherence just to avoid the slightest introspection. I have absolutely no reason to doubt a Trump crony can't take it as far as she has, though not without cost. You can't just shut off empathy so she seems to be cracking.
Still, as much as it's a pet theory the one thing you can't use to debunk it with is indignant disbelief. We're just swapping speculation at this point.
Gotta love "freedom loving" apparently meaning "You are forced to serve me no matter what". Freedom for me only, not you. And I 100% guarantee that person applauded the gay hating baker being allowed to refuse.
Train Whistle.
The whole point of dog whistle is to use coded subtext. Its not even coded anymore.
Must be nice having a theory that can't be debunked. I'm sure you'll survive pretty well in this day and age.
Maybe they'll be more introspective if they can't even go to a store without being called an asshole.
You're displaying concern for a group that aches to be offended so badly so they can "whatabout" that when their bait doesn't work they just make up outrage instead. Why are you bothering exactly?
Truly a Simpsons gif for everything.
Those protests were nuts. They wouldn't let people get off the exit.
That cop is such a fucking idiot.
I just don't see Rothfus beating Lamb in this environment, and given that the district's only R+3 and comprises some of the ancestrally Democratic areas that helped Lamb win, Trump's endorsement probably won't help.
Rothfus' district is now that "Pittsburgh North Hills" one that's north Allegheny plus Beaver, right? I'm curious as to how there's any overlap between that district and the old PA-18, which was Washington/Green focused.
They'd say that anyway. They'll say it about anyone who isn't them. Obama supporters had to watch some of these right-wingers walk around with nooses for effigies after the 2008 election. They're the same people who'd act with malicious and discriminatory intent when serving black people, brown people, people speaking another language, or queer members of their communities.
So let's stop thinking what some of these people think.
Yup. At best, you'll merely be one of "the better ones." That doesn't mean "good."
Let us remember the time when Severus Snape called Lily Evans a mudblood.
