This is a story about liberals discriminating against conservatives.

One instance of  this

 

I agree. I don't think the restaurant should have done this at all.

 

 

But it's not indicative of all liberals as you imply. Far more cases of conservatives trying to impose anti gay, transgender, people of colour, anti women agendas all the time.

Banning something is an action, but it was a rhetorical banning. nothing was banned. You want to drop this bone yet?

Thanks for explaining.

 

Now I understand, you were feeling Conservatives were being persecuted by ‘rhetorical bannings’.

 Personally I would not have refused to serve her.

I would have prepared her food taking as much liberty as she does with the truth.

Can you spell special sauce?  LOL

555,

I think if I owned the place I would have served her just because she's a customer.

I would do that mostly to show solidarity with customers who have been refused service because of orientation, religion, sex, or skin colour, or any stupid reason.

I would have served her also. Read my reply #241.

of course I was being facetious,, tampering with someone's food is illegal and I would never do anything like that LOL 

I am sure different people would have reacted differently to the situation, I was simply responding to the assertion that they refused to serve conservatives which is clearly not true, unless  of course conservative means lying.

"Poor poor pitiful me...." Trying to play the victim card is kind of hard to do when you (and your boss) are the chief victimizers these days.

 

Just be glad the restaurant owner showed the PS more consideration and humanity by politely and quietly asking her to leave in private, and even waiving the bill for what had been served already, than the current Administration has shown the jailed immigrant kids, gays, minorities, the poor, the U.S.'s traditional allies, and... the list goes on...

Not that it's particularly relevant but the small town of Lexington voted strongly against "trump" in the election.

Yes, I read in the WP that that was the case also, but apparently it's a bit of a political island in a larger surrounding area that supported him, at least, the last time round.

 

Maybe you should add that town to your consideration of potential repatriation destinations.  At least they've got THAT going for them.

Starbucks did that and look what happened to the - the liberal Media went into a frenzy.  Hypocrits indeed.

 

Hardly.

 

The 2 black men asked to leave Starbucks do not have the ability to change their skin color, and it is obvious and basically conceded by all including Starbucks that their skin color was involved in asking them to leave.

 

Sanders does have the ability to take a job which does not involve her lying and deriding the press on a daily basis.

 

There is no comparison.

 

Also - As others have pointed out, her tweet was unlawful:

"trump" does not represent conservatives. He represents "trump" only. "trump" managed a hostile takeover of the republican party. It is now the "trump" party. REAL American conservatives like George Will are saying vote democratic to remove this "trump" disease as it's that dangerous.

That's an interesting and valid perspective that hadn't even occurred to me -- misuse of her government communication channels -- until reading the article you've posted above.

 

It was the kind of thing that, if she was going to make any response, belonged in her personal communications. However, as Trump himself has shown before on his official Twitter account, they seem to make no distinction between what they can and should do in government channels vs what they should do in private channels. It's the absence of ethics, propriety, respect for the offices they hold.

"I have never witnessed such open hate as I see directed to the POTUS"

 

Can anyone seriously disagree with this comment???

 

I pay little attention to US politics, but the hate is 'shoved in my nose' every day in the media....

 

There is little doubt (to me anyway) that trump is obnoxious - but the constant hate campaign is extremely annoying.

 

Obama suffered something similar from certain elements, but nothing close to what is happening now.

Sorry DD, but from someone who generally agrees with your posts...not on board with this one. There is zero comparison between Prez Obama and Prez Trump. One is a man of high integrity, empathy, understanding and knowledge and highly likable...while the other possesses none of these traits and is extremely unlikable. Kinda like equating refusing service to a loving, peaceful gay couple with the Nazis and KKK. There is no justifiable comparison. Prez Obama received all kinds of irrational and undeserved hate, while the current POTUS gets that which is well deserved...and not nearly enough IMO. So yes...I disagree.

Walter Shaub is the former Director of the US Gov's Office of Government Ethics.

His timeline has several tweets about the statutes she broke by using her White House account for a personal incident:

@waltshaub

Shaub has also stated:

 

"There’s no ethics rule against Sarah Sanders fans being cartoonish hypocrites in defending merchants discriminating against gay people but howling when a merchant rejects a human rights violator based on her involvement in harming babies & children.

 

Ridicule will have to suffice."

 

Well spoken.

I had heard from Alex Jones that she was not a Democrat but in fact a reptilian agent for the illuminate Satanic baby eating  Wing of the Lexington Liberals (New York Transplant Division).

I have said "You may not be, but the American people are ..woke" in my head 100 times - I don't get it, don't leave us hanging there Elvis. Is that some kind of acronym like MAGA? Should it be "You may not be, but the American people are..WOKE". Like  'but the American people are   Working On Killing Everyone"?  Oh I get it now yeah, that makes more sense. "We are witnessing Trump and MAGA. You may not be, but the American people are WOKE". Whew I can sleep now.

Perhaps the restaurant should have posted a warning sign just as fair notice:

 

 

That would have scared her out the door for sure...

 

 

BTW, sorry, you're not getting a doggy bag either...

The rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree.

 

 

 “Huckabee should be ostracized and ashamed.” Davidson later said he reported the tweet “because it clearly is designed to stoke hatred of a group.” Davidson went on to note that Huckabee “is not limiting his hatred-stoking to actual MS13 members, he clearly wants all Hispanic immigrants to be seen as criminal.”

Leaning more to the liberal side, her treatment gives me a bit of a chuckle and a feeling of turnabout's fair play, but that said, I would have been inclined to take the high road and serve her and her group.  

 

She is the spokesperson for Trump and that has to be about the most difficult job on earth.   I doubt she agrees with everything she says, but it is her job.   Many of us have been in a work situation where we are forced to do or support policies we don't agree with.

 

The fact that the staff was uncomfortable with her is understandable if they come from groups that suffer from Trump's policies, so the owner should have done the serving herself.  

 

I don't really like patronizing businesses that discriminate against anyone for any reason that isn't clearly stated before hand and is reasonable.   I don't think embarrassing her or her group was really a good idea.  

 

Now we will never know if she is a good tipper or not!
