Poor Sarah Sanders, victim of persecution

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I see it more as an error of judgment, but that is just me. If the horrid Nancy Pelosi came into Chez Ymir for some taste treat I would treat her with respect and dignity, leaving my personal feelings about the woman and her party outside of my effort to attend to her needs.

There's a difference between merely disliking someone and having a conscientious objection to their actions.

I see this whole trend as a major mistake done by the "FU Trump" brigade.

Because compliance and appeasement was working so well?

See the images inpost #114.

I love it! It is so triggering, on so many levels.

What compliance has been in effect since the inauguration? All I have heard is ceaseless whining and sniveling.

You would love it.
You don't have to live here!

How long will it be before businesses start posting signs, "If you voted for Trump, you are too stupid to shop here! Go elsewhere, deplorable!"

A "se habla Español" sign should have the same effect.

Compliance?
They've been fighting tooth & nail since even before he was elected.

Exactly! Who knew that butthurt could be so strong and impervious to the effects of time?

Echo chambers keep the faithful in line, eh.

An odd irony.....
We see posters here who accept & even enforce the rules & intended spirit of RF,
eg, discuss the issues without attacking the poster. Yet they advocate abandoning
our vaunted purpose in the public arena, eg, it's OK to shout Trump staff down, attack
them personally, & give them the boot over mere disagreement. The illiberal liberal, eh?

 

[Revoltingest]

In the news, an interesting article about how the backlash
to the booting is spilling over on manky other eateries....
Red Hen restaurants everywhere feel ramifications of Sanders incident

You ignored my point how it's not a case of political affiliation.

I asked a specific questions regarding said affiliations, and religious, which you didn't answer. Reread my post. Being part of an organization is still "doing" something....

Of course it is a case of affiliation as without it she wouldn't be in the position as Press Secretary.... She aint no Dem, she isn't a Never-Trump GOP...

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

Are we really at a stage where restaurants have to include a red plate/blue plate designation? Seriously?

We're already at the point where it's fine for bakeries to have a rainbow plate and a vanilla plate, so sure, why not?

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

How long will it be before businesses start posting signs, "If you voted for Trump, you are too stupid to shop here! Go elsewhere, deplorable!"

Like this?

 

[Estro Felino]

Who she works for IS "something she personally has done". Or are you claiming Sanders works for Trump against her will?

You are trying to turn the victim (S. Sanders) into the perpetrator. Great.
Said that...these things happen. A business owner expressed her dissent through impoliteness.
Mrs Sanders has moved on.

You are comparing one nutjob to an emerging movement. Well done. Bet that was tough.

Ah. So when it's your "side" it's a "lone nutjob", when it's the other side, it's "an emerging movement".

Respond to what's said, or don't respond at all.

Again: there's a distinction between merely being conservative or Republican and actually being part of an administration that is committing human rights abuses. It's perfectly reasonable for a business owner to refuse to cooperate with that to the extent that they're able.

Yes, but it was still a pretty dumb move. More and more, treating others poorly is becoming the norm, and often times the social punishments exceed the crime. As much as I like to say "yeah, this is it how it feels, to be excluded just because of who you are," it's a ****ty thing to do. If this isn't a critical mass of divisiveness in America, I'm going to hate to see it when it is there, and America blows apart at the seams.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Because they really weren't relevant.

Of course it is a case of affiliation as without it she wouldn't be in the position as Press Secretary.

That doesn't make her immune from others judging her as a person.

I’m coming at it from a different direction: to me, it isn’t about giving Sarah Huckabee Sanders a taste of her own medicine; it’s that the things the Trump organization is doing are so heinous that it’s reasonable to try to obstruct, delay, and filibuster what they’re doing.

Yes, making the press secretary have to find another restaurant is only a small, legal inconvenience to the Trump administration, but if thousands of people all impose small, legal inconveniences on the Trump administration or on the agencies carrying out the administration’s wishes, then this will make it that much harder for the administration to get things done.

We’re talking about an administration that, as we speak, is building internment camps for nearly 100,000 people on military bases:

US 'plans migrant camps on military bases'

And I don’t know what Trump’s next big project will be, but I’m sure it will be horrific as well. A restaurant owner can’t do a huge amount to interfere with these plans, but she did what she could. Good for her.

Ah. So when it's your "side" it's a "lone nutjob", when it's the other side, it's "an emerging movement".

I put it that way due to the comments of many who supported the actions of the restaurateur and even encouraged by the lovable Hon. Maxine Waters. I know many religious folks are not big on gays but there wasn't exactly a groundswell of support for the backwoods fellow who had held his hateful position for many years before it came to national attention a short while ago.
