Well she did it, she out-retarded AOC. Omar says the 1% should pay 90% in taxes (marginal or not, stupid). You never go full retard! In most states the 1% is not a lot, $335k in Ohio.

I scratch my head and wonder 2 things:

 

1.  Who in the hell votes for these people?  

2.  Why is anyone shoving a microphone in there face?

I'll side with the business owner's right to deny service to anyone for any reason he sees fit.

Same here, if he is in San Fran type of area it will help their business. If he is anywhere else it will hurt. It is their right as an owner to refuse business to anyone (outside of race, creed, etc).

Might I just add that there are probably more restaurants in SF where wearing hats inside of the establishment is not acceptable than there are restaurants that allow it?

In my mind, this is a non-issue to begin with.

Exactly.  In DC, it is beneficial for businesses to virtue signal considering the clientele. They eat that shit up.  I hate virtue signaling, but if I owed a business in DC, I would probably do it too if it meant more business.

I was interested in this too. Lol it's the same district who elected Keith Ellison repeatedly. The most democratic district in the state.

People like being stuck in ruts. It's strangely comforting to them.

I would say they have the right to refuse business for any reason, including those that make them prejudicial assholes.  The US legislature disagrees, of course.

I think it's because they see miserable familiarity is more comforting than promising unfamiliarity.

They won't say anything to her. Intersectionality rules the day with them. She's female, not white, non-Christian. That's a huge amount of points scored in their minds.

What I would like to know is who her puppet master is?  It costs millions to win local elections to the house if not tens of millions.

 

Someone is pulling her strings and I am sure its not in the better interest of 99.9% of the US

The responses I've seen have been that it would be in the best interest of the economy, because it would force profits back into the company, a la more hiring, better equipment, etc.

These same people apparently don't know the difference between corporate profits and personal income.  It seems as though they believe that they're the same thing once you make a certain amount.

So this is becoming a big story:

Obviously he should be taken down and put in a museum!

 

Nothing to see here.....move along.

LOL, he has confirmed it is him and apologized.  I am very interested to see how the media treats him (already seeing some delegates saying he can't be judged for something he did 20+ years ago).  We all know how this would be handled if this were a Republican. 

 

Prediction: Northam will be treated much more fairly than Kavanaugh.  The irony is there are similarites.  Kavanaugh was attacked for a HS yearbook photo (not when he was 25 years old in a medical photo like Northam), and he was attacked for drinking/liking beer (Northam has quite the yearbook quote about beer).

This is way worse than the Kav yearbook, so fuck them, crucify this guy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Note: I don’t give a shit about either, but they should reap what they sow.

This video goes back to 2013. He refuses to shake hands with a black man.

Also in his yearbook, his nickname is "Coonman"

wtf

That’s pretty bad. I understand that it’s a costume, but still pretty dumb on his part. And it’s not like he was 15 years old. He was 25’ish. Hate calling people racists but this dude seems like he fits the bill.

He should be forced do resign.  That seems to be what the left would want if the guy was a pub.

Regardless of political affiliation you should want this guy to resign. Stop playing politics you dumb fuck.
