Yep, blameless - like the companies who pulled ads from Hannity and Laura Ingram shows; Paypal, Intuit, Bank of America, and others who won't process gun-related payments; stock index funds who are deleting gun companies; all the companies who ended their NRA discounts; and on and on.

Interesting. In DC discrimination based on political affiliation is prohibited. There is a Red Hen in DC who sent out a tweet to clarify.

And still @DemDisgusted stuck with its position.

I tweeted back: "Wow, I guess leftism really is a psychological disorder, after all."

Remember, the left doesn't care if you are better or right. They don't care as they lead you to the gallows that they didn't break you or convert you. Every time they scream and stamp their feet and the ratchet of incremental society clicks just one more click left, they win. It doesn't go back, ever.

They keep you trying to appease, trying to negotiate, trying to compromise, and it clicks one more left. They don't care the cost, because in the end they win. It's been said many times the Dems of today were out right communists 30 years ago, but they have managed to shift it so far left we accept this as the new left.

As we go home feeling we have the high road, they don't care. They want to win, and they will put another click left over profits, family, friends, anything.

You can dangle from the gallows feeling superior and that you fought the fair and upright fight, but your hanging just the same and they don't care.

They will destroy this country and our way of life.

Her handle should be "DisgustingDem."

Seriously, these people don't even have the mental maturity of a grade schooler.

Don't you think the Trump presidency is more than a few clicks back?

When she walked into the restaurant, Wilkinson saw that there had been no mistake. The Red Hen is no bigger than some apartments, and the group table was impossible to miss: Sanders in a black dress, her husband, three or four men and women of roughly similar ages, and an older couple.

“They had cheese boards in front of them,” Wilkinson said. Like any other family. The kitchen was already preparing the party’s main course. Wilkinson interrupted to huddle with her workers.

Several Red Hen employees are gay, she said. They knew Sanders had defended Trump’s desire to bar transgender people from the military. This month, they had all watched her evade questions and defend a Trump policy that caused migrant children to be separated from their parents.

“Tell me what you want me to do. I can ask her to leave,” Wilkinson told her staff, she said. “They said ‘yes.’ ”

It was important to Wilkinson, she said, that Sanders had already been served — that her staff had not simply refused her on sight

how gracious of the bigoted POSs

“I said, ‘I’m the owner,’ ” she recalled, ” ‘I’d like you to come out to the patio with me for a word.’

They stepped outside, into another small enclosure, but at least out of the crowded restaurant.

“I was babbling a little, but I got my point across in a polite and direct fashion,” Wilkinson said. “I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation.

“I said, ‘I’d like to ask you to leave.’ ”

Sanders’s response was immediate ” ‘ That’s fine. I’ll go.’

Sanders went back to the table, picked up her things and walked out

The others at her table had been welcome to stay, Wilkinson said.

I really despise this Wilkinson

But they didn’t, so the servers cleared away the cheese plates and glasses.

“They offered to pay,” Wilkinson said.

I said, ‘No. It’s on the house.’ ”

hate her even more

At the end of the shift, Wilkinson said, staff members left the usual overnight note in the kitchen for the morning manager

If you’ve ever heard the term “to 86 someone,” it comes from the restaurant industry — code to refuse service, or alternatively to take an item off the menu.

“86 – Sara Huckabee Sanders,” read the note

I always thought “86” was to remove someone from the establishment

Ever notice the Gallows is traditionally depicted to be on a platform way up where everyone can see? Yeah, you have to take the high road to get there.

Looks like DisgustedDem is a shithead.

No. It's stopped the clicking. But we haven't started to reverse it yet.

Don't get me wrong, I love Trump. He is what we needed. We need more of him, and he needs more like him in congress. Not more GOP, more like him.

I find this thread VERY interesting. It just happens that my Sister and her Husband live in Lexington. It also happens that Evan is a VMI graduate and retired from the USAF at the rank of Colonel after 32 years as a JAG. It also happens that my BIL, Nephew, Nieces Hubby and myself will be shooting some Sporting Clays next week at a range in Lexington.

So, what is going to happen if a foursome of Sports Shooters decides to have a meal in this establishment while discussing the results. I have a feeling that a bunch of SNOWFLAKES are going to start melting. While a tempting thought we will probably end up eating at a more reasonable place to eat. Fact is that I wouldn't want to give this useless lump of flesh even one thin dime.

What I am hoping to see is announcement that this establishment has had to close down and declare Bankrupcy and all those "sensitive" gays are now out on the street looking for jobs with nobody willing to hire them.

Simply put, 86 means it's off the menu, be it out of something or the dish has gone sideways somehow, or it's a standard menu item without X item or items, like bacon cheeseburger without lettuce or tomato gets rung in as *86 tomato and *86 lettuce as a universal for someone not used to whatever point of sale interface they're now using. It's got nothing at all to do with removing anything from an establishment. Shitty reporting slang on slang....

I was an expo at an Applebee's right by USF and worked nights and weekends during the drunk shift. "86" is hard to somehow mishear in a very loud, hectic kitchen, and it's usually an important command. I've got nightmares about "86" and "all day" that would be meaningless to just about anyone else, and not applicable to any other situation, and I wouldn't let a reporter try to explain it in a way that makes sense to anyone.


That this "86" crap is even being discussed tells me the kitchen crew thought it was awesome, and so did the reporters, and well, fuck all of them. "Hurrr hurrr! We 86'ed Sarah Sanders!! Hurr durrr!!!"

can we now, please, take off the gloves ?


half an oshoubin provides a certain clarity.

The staff at the restaurant called the owner to let her know that Sarah Sanders was there and they did not know what to do. One of the gay employees did not want to serve her.

The owner drove to the restaurant to tell Sarah that she was not welcome in her restaurant.

One of the restaurant staff posted on social media about the owner asking Sarah to leave.

Sarah's response came later.

Sarah left as asked and did not bring up the issue until after the restaurant staff started the conversation on social media.

I think it is a key distinction that the restaurant started the conversation, bringing this to the public eye.

Folks, we should pray more and more of this stuff happens. Ultimately the left does not win this type of fight. I know the court of public opinion is frustratingly silent, but people don't like this shit.

Great point. They aren't defending their actions. They are celebrating them.

Today's Wall Street Journal opinion

How to Re-Elect Trump
You’re so deplorable you can’t eat in their restaurants.


Hillary Clinton lost the Presidency in 2016 for many reasons but one was surely because she called people who disagreed with her a “basket of deplorables.” Millions of Americans knew who she meant, and nearly 63 million voted for Donald J. Trump.

The political left is now repeating that mistake as its cultural and political vanguard sends a message of condescension, hostility and now ostracism to anyone who voted for Mr. Trump or has worked with or for him for the good of the country. Their relentless contempt might end up re-electing him.

On that score don’t underestimate how the refusal by a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, to serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will resonate politically. Ms. Sanders had taken a seat at the Red Hen with several others on Friday when owner Stephanie Wilkinson asked her to leave. Ms. Wilkinson told the press, which is turning her into Rosa Parks, that her restaurant “has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation.”

Except toward people who don’t share Ms. Wilkinson’s views. Rest assured every Trump supporter in America will be reminded of this episode from here to November. The message: Now you’re so deplorable they won’t serve you in their restaurants.

Meanwhile, hecklers ran Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C. last week. Protesters are also harassing Ms. Nielsen at home, blaring audio of crying children detained at the border and shouting “no justice, no sleep.”

Then there’s actor Seth Rogen, who bragged on TV that he recently refused to take a picture with Paul Ryan and the House Speaker’s sons. He delivered a lecture instead. Apparently rudeness to children is now a badge of courage.

No doubt some on the right behave as badly—though when they do they don’t become media heroes. But the irony is that the main beneficiary of all this is Donald Trump.

Republicans know that Mr. Trump often acts deplorably, and many also dislike his immigration policies, especially his recent separation of parents from children. The resulting political uproar, not least from Republicans, has caused the White House to change policy and keep immigrant families together.

But Republicans and other voters also know when they are being sneered at and marginalized. They don’t think it’s un-American to ask if maybe immigrant parents shouldn’t take their toddlers on a dangerous illegal trip across the border. They may not like Mr. Trump personally, but they do like that he stands up to the cultural arbiters who hate them. Mr. Rogen and his fellow political censors won’t admit it, but they are playing into Donald Trump’s hands.
