US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

her punishment is that she gave the restaurant that 86’d her a bunch of free publicity, excellent work by a true communications professional

free publicity and probably now a target of threats by insane dumbasses from around the country. a friend of mine works at a really nice restaurant in DC called The Red Hen. it's not the one that sanders visited, and it's unaffiliated. even this unaffiliated restaurant is getting bombarded with 1-star reviews on yelp, and is anticipating threats. i'm sure it's much much worse for the real thing

their facebook page is a toilet now.

probably not the worst idea to hire full-time security.

Went on the Red Hen's Yelp page to have a good lol at the Magaists' reviews and here is what the admins are doing:

Active Cleanup Alert
This business recently made waves in the news, which often means that people come to this page to post their views on the news.

While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to these news events, we do work to remove both positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business.

As a result, your posts to this page may be removed as part of our cleanup process beginning Saturday, June 23, 2018, but you should feel free to post your thoughts about the recent media coverage for this business on Yelp Talk at any time.

The Yelp reviews are a sewer. One guy photoshopped a rat b/w hamburger bread.

"Sarah, we the people of the USA are the owners of the White House, and we'd like to ask you to leave."

So emblematic of the red hatter's that when one of their queens spots them the exact location of the restaurant to bombard, they still get it wrong. I imagine there are Red Hen restaurants and businesses getting a similar treatment in Washington STATE now too.

they're as mad as a red hen!

I don't own a restaurant, but if I did, and if a person I didn't like tried to patronize my restaurant, and I would rather they not but had already done so, I would think that instead of asking them for a private word out on the patio with the intention of asking them to leave, I'd prefer to politely confront them in front of everyone with the reasons I didn't like them, and then let them know their meal was on the house before letting them go ahead and leave whenever they felt sufficiently humiliated enough to do so. But straight up asking someone to leave, whether you take them aside privately beforehand or not, is frankly unamerican.

Hey, maybe the next restaurant visited by an administration official will preempt any possible retaliatory action by never letting said official leave their establishment again. Something about the thought of Trump's cabinet chained up in various bistro basements across DC makes feel all warm and fuzzy.

and you could say: see there's a such a thing as free lunch in america!

I admit to feeling slightly uncomfortable too but according to the manager she let them finish their meal.

Yeah it's easy to imagine how it can escalate in the worst possible way for people of color and the lgbtq community.

I agree and I think the way the Hamilton cast addressed Mike Pence, for example, is a better thing to do...however that actor revealed recently that he was bombarded with death threats for ages after that. so no fucking pleasing everyone. MAGAs don't give a fuck if you're polite or not

The Washington Post reports:

The White House’s hastily crafted executive order to end child separations spurred confusion and fights within the federal government, and second-guessing from the president who had demanded the order in the first place.

In private conversations with aides, Trump said he wanted to sign a full immigration bill as part of an executive order, which one administration official described as “a pretty insane idea.” The president was told by government lawyers that he could not change immigration law by fiat, said a person familiar with the discussions.

Trump then demanded that an executive order be written, and said he wanted it on his desk for signing by that afternoon, according to people involved in the discussions. Given hours to produce a complex legal document, government lawyers crafted one that met the moment’s political demands but only added to confusion within the agencies tasked with implementing it.

The Goatest Rodeo

Donald Trump's Goatse Rodeo

mountin’ goats

Goat Mournting!

It’s very sad that Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, want to protect illegal immigrants far more than the citizens of our country. The United States cannot stand for this. We wants safety and security at our borders!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 23, 2018

We wants it!

I doubt Trump is that savvy, but I wonder if any of his staff tell him "the typos are good! They make your base feel better about themselves! Leave the typos!"

Again with this 'far more' shit. How about this: I care far more about protecting undocumented immigrants than I do about protecting you and the people who enable you. If I had the power, I would reassign the Secret Service to protecting them and leaving you to fend for yourself. Signed, a lib.

So racism is pretty much the only plank of Trump's midterms campaign then.

I thought this was a confirmed thing they were really doing.

On the reorganization stuff, I have been approached by a client about doing some consulting work on the proposed GSA/OPM merger. I'm not even remotely interested in helping these mousefuckers (even if they were to accidentally try to do something beneficial, as Karl says) so no. But it's also not going to happen. I am not sure how harshly I should judge people who want to make money off of failure, but that's a separate question.

but it kind of seems obvious to me that militaries from across the world will be in space

Yabbut we have the already existing Air Force Space Command http://www.afspc.af.mil/ as well as Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command http://www.public.navy.mil/spawar/Pages/default.aspx .

The party of small government advocating the creation of a new redundant bureaucracy, oh my paws and fucking whiskers

Sooooo not going to happen?

I’m still maintaining the reality that I just hallucinated the whole “space force” thing.

I would never bugger a man wearing tapered pants. He'd have to look like Jake Gyllenhaal.

anyway, send to your friends:

more hostage-taking

HOUSTON — Central American men separated from their children and held in a detention facility outside Houston are being told they can reunite with their kids at the airport if they agree to sign a voluntary deportation order now, according to one migrant at the facility and two immigration attorneys who have spoken to detainees there.

Incivility would be kidnapping Sarah Sanders’ kids, caging them, and only reuniting them with her if she agrees to leave the country. Refusing her a meal is merciful.

Even Kamala Harris is leaning towards joining the call to abolish ICE (though "we need to probably think about starting from scratch” lacks oomph)

she's a prez hopeful -- that's how it goes

Sanders dodged the question today but I'd put money on him pivoting in the next week.

It would be hilarious if he didn't have nuclear weapons.

.@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous “hair show” with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have “humanized” me-he is taking heat. He called & said “monster ratings.” Be a man Jimmy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

seriously messed up

ratings monster

How can you seriously mess up hair that is already seriously messed up

I just freaked out and tried to escape to a parallel universe where Donald Trump and Jimmy Fallon both don't exist

US Politics, July 2018: He Seriously Messed Up My Hair (womp womp)

The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!
