Trump Openly Reveals His Lack of Concern for His Supporters

[_ajax18]

Most of us remember Sarah Sanders being kicked out of the Red Hen restaurant for being the president's press secretary. Sarah and her husband went home. Her extended family went across the street to another restaurant. Most of us don't know that this restaurantowner also went to this restaurant prtesting and putting up a stink to see them kicked out of this restaurant as well. One of the extended family confronted the protesters pointing out she voted for Hillary Clinton and theit their hatred and incivility was not helping their cause.

Sarah Sanders talks about being mocked for her looks. The liberal women were some of the meanest and nastiest in this mockery. Women's empowerment only applies to liberal women who believe, think, and act like they do. Sarah talks about going through the verbal assault on her appearance from an LA Times opinion. It was so bad that even the LA Times retracted it. She admits that it hurt even though she tries to have a thick skin and not let it bother her. Even while going through a difficult time himself President Trump stopped, pulled her aside and said, "Sarah they attack you because you're good at your job. Don't let the ______ bastards get you down." It was the so called misogynist Trump who was able to help Sarah get through this along with her so called misogynist Christian faith in God, not some feminist group.

Whatever you think of Donald Trump, to think that he is not loyal to his loyal supporters is just intellectually dishonest.

It is certainly true that Sarah Sanders should never have been attacked or mocked by anyone because of her looks. That was an inexcusable low blow, no matter how many times Trump did the same thing to many of his female, (or, for that matter, male) opponents, which you have to know he did, if you are at all observant and honest. Everyone here on this board who was ever guilty of that ought to be deeply ashamed and apologetic. She did, however, fully deserve to be called out and ridiculed for her numerous, demonstrable lies on Trump's behalf, just as Kayleigh McEnanny and every other Trump Press Secretary has been.

Did she deserve to be kicked out of restaurants along with her extended family?

What if I were to refuse to serve Barack Obama or his family because I don't like his politics? I can hear the racism charges already.

But I've loved that man since the day he came down the escalator. And thus far he's only given me reasons to love him more.

Sometimes poop floats because of trapped gases. Sometimes it rides down the escalator because it sticks to the metal risers.

I guess being from a liberal California city with a sprawling homeless population has made you an expert in human fecal material given you have to wade through it each day just to enter a department or grocery store.

Certainly not, especially not her extended family.

I will accept and give you credit for knowing better than to have ever done that, and I hope you would never treat any of your non-white patients that way.

But it's not really a question of race. The question is do we have a right to exclude people based on their politics or even who they work for, or who they voted for? As far as I know the manager of the red hen has never suffered any penalty for kicking Sarah Sanders out of her restaurant or going even further than that and lobbying to kick her extended family out of a neighboring restaurant that I don't think she even owned. I find it kind of odd given that you can't even work as a baker unless you're willing to make gay wedding cakes.

Let me put it this way then: I will accept and give you credit for knowing better than to have ever done that, and I hope you would never treat any patients that way merely because their politics or race differs from yours.

And I am firmly of the opinion that any baker who refuses to bake a cake for a customer merely because they disapprove of the customer's politics, race, religion and/or gender preference fully deserves to be fired.

It's always fun to listen to a Trump fan whine about civility. It's almost as though they have a massive fu-cking blind spot. Weird.

But as we've seen again and again, hypocrisy is the Trump/GOP brand. So, ya know... not weird. Typical, actually.

Why do so many conservative politicians, particularly the more religious ones, seem so irrationally and uncharitably opposed to the idea of affordable, comprehensive and widely available healthcare coverage?

And why would any rational person, including Trump's current Supreme Court nominee, find anything inherently unconstitutional about the the ACA as it currently stands? In particular, if the Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional even with the mandate in place, why did it suddenly become unconstitutional when the mandate was dropped? How can anyone fail to see the absurdity of that premise?

Sometimes I strongly suspect that Republicans oppose the idea of universal healthcare for all, not because they really think there is anything inherently wrong with the idea, but because they can't bear the idea of Democrats or liberals getting any of the credit for it. They would love it, I think, if they could credibly claim entire credit for the idea for themselves, especially in light of the fact of how well it works in countries that already have it.
