He truly has the soul of a dictator and an incredibly PETTY one at that. That kind of attack is completely unpresidential. How anyone can have any respect at all for "trump" at this point continues to amaze.

 

Just imagine having a small business like that (the restaurant business is a very hard business) having the most powerful baby man on the planet basically trying to ruin you.

"p.s. Trump’s Red Hen rant would also violate the misuse of position regulation, if he followed the tradition of trying to act as though it applied. But this walking conflict of interest has chosen to hold himself to a lower standard than the federal workforce he supervises."

Hopefully Michael Avenatti will take this slander case on contingency.

Strange post. You apologize for Trump by pointing to Obama and accusing him of being an apologist.

I can not believe that the President of the USA is busy with unpainted window frames from a small restaurant.

Does not he have anything more important to do?

This clown has really a screw loose.

However many screws he has, they're ALL loose.

That that total deranged corrupt CON MAN managed to get elected in the first place (and may again) is a permanent stain on the reputation of the USA. There will be a big price. 

[JimmyJ]

The lies gets worse.

 

Laura Ingraham, Fox news host, says Mike Huckabee told her on her radio show that the owner of the Red Hen Restaurant followed Sarah across the street and harassed her at the next restaurant she went to.

 

This is impossible to believe.

The owner of the Red Hen said that when she 86'ed Sanders, she politely asked her if she could speak to her privately, they went outside, she politely asked her to leave.

 

After doing that - doing everything possible NOT to make a scene and keep it private - she then followed her across the street and arranged a demonstration - which no one including Sanders had mentioned previously - is impossible to believe and is another major slander.

Donald Trump Fans: “Family run bakeries should totally be allowed to refuse service to gay people if they want to”

 

Also Donald Trump Fans: “Family run restaurants should totally *not* be allowed to refuse service to Sarah Sanders, that’s an outrage!”

Lets be honest, Trump is the first White POTUS. His political career began in advocacy of birtherism …

"For Trump, it almost seems that the fact of Obama, the fact of a black president, insulted him personally. "

How else could one possibly explain trump's vile dislike for everything Obama? By all appearances, trump is very prejudicial.

(Reuters) - White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders urged greater civility three days after she was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant because she worked for U.S. President Donald Trump, an incident that prompted Twitter attacks from the president on Monday.

It might do you well to remember that when SHS, in your words, "smacks the NY Times around," she's smacking around (and lying to) the American public. Because that's whom the Times and the other news media are there representing in the White House press room. Since I'm presuming you don't have a credential.

 

 

 

NYT ain't as innocent as you think they are...watch the 4 part series Fourth Estate on Showtime.

 

They're just a bunch of guys trying to make money like the rest of us.

 

They rag on Trump for some private comments he made....while one of their own journey sexually harasses women.

 

Then they suspend hm and put him on another beat....thats libs for ya!

I never said anyone was innocent or perfect. I did say, day in and day out, no matter what political party is in office, the journalists there and at similar top-tier newspapers and wire services do a pretty good job in the U.S. and around the world of delivering factual news and objective analysis. And their news reporters, in news reports, won't typically be found injecting their personal biases into the news reports.

 

And probably, most people who claim otherwise don't bother to actually read the NYT's news reports on a regular basis, and instead, spend all their waking hours glued to Fox News and the Breitbart website, etc etc.

 

The pertinent issue for this discussion is, generally speaking, when a Democrat is in office, the NYT is going to bird dog that person as an incumbent, as Obama and others can attest. And when a Republican is in office, they do the same. Of course, when a XXXXX like Trump is in office amid allegations he's selling out U.S. interests to Russia, he's bound to get extra attention vs the norm.

That's rich.... coming from her and Trump and his White House, which generally wouldn't recognize civility if it came up and bit him on the a**....

 

This is a guy who's made hallmarks of his candidacy and presidency publicly belittling and insulting and demeaning anyone who disagrees with him, including his fellow Republicans in the primaries, in the most puerile and juvenile ways.

At least the Hon. Senator produced one of the finest possible  human specimens in his daughter Sarah.   ?‍?   She just lacks a few important genes while having an abundance of the "not attractive" gene.

 

Things have certainly changed over the last three years.    I prefer to live in  a world of positively evolving attitudes rather than those of Ms. Kim Davis

 

As an example of evolution, ESPN did a tasteful and beautiful  nude photo spread  of two gay female athletes for its body issue seen here:

As I've said before, I would have served her, but with some 'tude.

 

Here is Colbert's suggestion! Specifically at 3:45 but heck, watch the whole thing.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

                             - Edmund Burke.

 

At least one good woman in Lexington, Va. did something: Stephanie Wilkinson, the Red Hen manager who claims her restaurant has moral values to uphold, such as compassion, cooperation, and honesty; and has acted accordingly. In the short period of time during her interaction with Press Sec. Sanders, she demonstrated all 3:

- cooperation: she conferred with her staff and accommodated their wish. (I would regard this as leadership as well.)
- compassion: she "booted"  Sanders & Co in the most civilized manner, discreet (privately, not making a scene) and courteous (comping the cheese.)
- honesty: per the "We reserve the right to refuse service" claim, no explanation is required. In the US you can not call the police when you're refused service, and the establishment barring you is under no legal obligation to explain why, try ask that of any nightclub bouncer. But Wilkinson wanted to be upfront about it and informed whom it may concern of her reason to do so.

 

It has nothing to do with Sanders' gender, age, race, wardrobe, marital status, sexual orientation, religion, political leanings, nada. It has to do with what she does as a public figure, or more to the point, a civil servant, as government officials used to be called, to the American people, of which the Red Hen staff is part of and therefore has a right to judge, commend or condemn her job performance. 

 

It's not a left or right thing.  It's as simple as no shirts, no shoes, AND no morals, no service. On the "victim" side, for Sanders to use White House twitter to announce the incident is an abuse of public office venue for private discourse. To have Trump follow suit is bully tactics, pure and simple, of which this POTUS is known for. Let's hope Wilkinson's fellow good men/women shall rise up to support  her and her business in the weeks and months to come.

 

Here's a look at the working of the restaurant:

Actually, I do, personally, but in the greater scheme of things, no, I do not. You have to look no further than Thai society, where people sometimes go to great effort to be as dishonest as they can while remaining civil. And those hearing the dishonest news are compelled to remain civil as well, even though they know the news that they are hearing is dishonest.
