When is Enough ,Enough?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

After seeing this bullshit first hand in my own town, not that I hadn't had it before, I've had it now. Someone sabotaged a gas line at The Red Hen. Like what in the actual fuck?!

It's kind of sad to read these comments coming in from all over the country from people who have never been here. Woke up Saturday morning to all my friends texting about this. While I did laugh inside, I think she could have made her point a little better, but still, I know all those people and they're good people. Fucking awful what Drumpf has done to this country. SO MUCH hate (and I'm guilty of it too, thanks to him). It wasn't like this with either Bush, Clinton, Obama... This piece of trash has done nothing and the base is lapping it up.

My problem with the bolded section is that under Bush(2nd) and Obama, the pressures were absolutely growing. There was an undercurrent of 2 significant parts of the US population that were being flat out ignored, and dismissed - be it Romney's "47%" comment, or Pres Obama's utter disdain for the white middle class.

Ignoring and inflaming both sides of the aisle while having media that spews only the divisive hate has led us to this point just as much as Pres. Trump's brash politically incorrect (and assholish) character has.

Like Matty said once, if we were all in a pub, regardless of race color creed or income, (unless our creed prohibited being in a pub), I think we all could sit, discuss, have a beer turn on football and cheer. BUT the internet, divided media, and social media has turned this country on it's head when it comes to polite responses.

The same day this happened, we had a beer festival literally a block from The Red Hen. One guy was in his Maga hat and two others in their democratic shirts. Guess what? We all drank beer and everyone had a great time. I blame social media a bit, but that wasn't super prevalent except maybe during Obama's tenure. I'm not letting the media off the hook, but Donald Trump one way or another, is responsible for the breaking point.

Someone is actually trying to kill someone (BTW, I drove past the owner's house and she has full time police there now) over kicking out someone you agree with? Jeezus tapdancing christ. I'd be the same way if anyone on either side acted this way. Was watching The Red Hen's Facebook rating all morning long and saw just how much hate was winning while 10,000 people all gave it one star just because they hate.

Again, great people there, and probably the best food in our town. Blah. Just exhausting...

Giving the ok to discriminate based on political views. Irony here we've seen more tolerance in trump country verse the Obama presidency then the other way around.

I have zero sympathy for someone who can shout "injustice" but unwilling to talk about the issues.

Would love to see how this would have played out versus Obama and his staff.....oh that's right, it never did.

See the clown has a go fund me page taking in donations so they can cash in on the controversy. SAD!

But it’s the dems that obstruct right? .....oh the hypocrisy.
Everyone likes to talk about the big accomplishment of Trump and his scotus appointment. Yet that seat should have been filled long before he came along. Maybe Obama should have thrown tweeter tantrums about the obstruction of congress. Seems to be the way to get things done these days....

McConnell has said “one of my proudest moments” was looking Obama in the eye and telling him he would block his Supreme Court nominee.



Straight up highway robbery by the turtle, disgusting

This country has fallen and it might never recover from this abuse of power.

.......and for the pro trump contingent on this board who want to give him saint hood here is this nugget...........................

North Korea is carrying out improvements at its nuclear testing facility, new research has discovered.

The work at the facility comes despite a pledge by the country to completely denuclearise following the summit between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump.

New satellite images of the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Centre show that upgrades are being carried out ‘at a rapid pace’, according to North Korea analysis organisation 38 North.

I saw that too. Personally, I have no idea if this is some quid-pro-quo deal or not but if it is I hope Mueller's investigation wraps it up before the next Justice is confirmed. I fully expect it to be in line with Trump's nominating the worst possible guy/gal for critical positions. Still, even if there are too many "incidental" coincidences I don't expect anything to come of it. We are looking at a conservative SC for the next 30-40 years imo.

Yes more conspiracy theories. I’m sure it’s true.

Mitch told your party, obama, and you the voter you would live to regret this and you would regret it sooner than you think.

Your party should have never change the rules.

Dems need to own it now. And they need to explain it to you and all the Democratic voters...they owe you that. Unless somehow you agreed with basic stupidity of the move. The question now is, why the hell is the same democrats in power of the party?

Yup and the trumplings will march right along with it as long as it takes down the country the trump cult is happy.

Right now, for me this has gotten above politics.

Both sides, people have enough energy to condemn or support a person they've never met, who was inconvenienced. Situations like this have happened to ALL people, not just both political parties, not just liberals and conservatives.

For the people willing to drive a few towns over to stand outside a restaurant, was it worth it? Did you do the same thing when your child/wife/sibling was treated unfairly at school or work?

For the people who were willing to post her home address and cell phone number, do you equally post good reviews of places you've been? Do you maybe send a friend a note who's having a bad day?

The Drumpf Hate Train is going to keep right on rolling and it's just caught everyone up in it.

Taking a step back on this whole situation, I think what Stephanie should have done is taken her money, and donated it to a LGBTQ charity. But hey, I wasn't there, I wouldn't have known what I would have done in that split-second situation when my staff asked me to do something.



Also, I was downtown almost all night just observing, don't let the media make this out to be more than maybe ten people at most. When I was leaving work, there were more camera people than protesters. I went to get dinner and heard a couple of groups had a shouting match, but that's about it.
