  1. Why?Just because they're near a school they can absorb its teaching through osmosis? Well, you see the schools are at the top of the hill and downtown is downtown, it's trickledown learning. Just while I was there Clarence Thomas's son was two flights down from me, WWII Admiral Halsey's grandson was a classmate of mine, the current Superintendent was the General who took over for Schwarzkopf, there are regular military and political figures coming in for speeches and parades. There's the shit ton of Civil War statues that have become a recent topic because VMI actually fought for the Confederacy and General Lee is half the name of the other school. Hell, look at the map, Lee is buried THREE blocks away from this restaurant. It's a small town but it's not a podunk backwater. Regardless, I don't think refusing service because of political differences is any reason to refuse service. Sure you can say that Trump is the worse President this country has even had but he's not actually Hitler. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  2. Sure, but that's not the question. The question is whether it's a big deal to take the action they did. Also worth mentioning that this particular restaurant is a 180 mile drive from the White House. They're probably not as used to dealing with DC politicians as you are. I went to school (VMI) in Lexington, Va. It's not DC but between the presence of Washington and Lee and VMI with their academic and political narratives they should know how to handle themselves a bit better.

  3. Had never heard of that one until now, looks like it's being dredged up as a counter to this instance. I'll say the difference there was that it was for a political photo op and the owner didn't want that at his store because of his political opinion. Don't think that was much of a big deal. Biden also didn't act like a little bitch about it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  4. Yeah, about that - ============== North Korea making ‘rapid’ improvements to nuclear reactor despite Trump-Kim agreement Sam Meredith CNBC.com North Korea is upgrading its only known nuclear research facility, satellite imagery has shown, despite ongoing negotiations with multiple world leaders and a pledge to abandon its weapons program. The satellite photos, obtained by North Korea analysis outlet 38 North, indicate that the isolated regime is making numerous improvements to its Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center “at a rapid pace.” The report comes just over two weeks after President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed an agreement that called for a denuclearized Korean peninsula. 38 North is a U.S.-based project that looks to gather the insight of several long-time observers of North Korea. The site, which is perhaps best known for its monitoring of Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program, is affiliated with experts at both the Stimson Center and non-profit Foreign Policy Research Institute. =============== Bad week for Trump supporters so far. Hey nolhtairt, what would you think if Trump continued to deny that NK has continued it's nuke program? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  5. Not by my standards - but, apparently, just fine by yours. The incident was discussed at some length here in the SC. I don't remember if I posted my opinion or not. I was conflicted because I felt that in America preference should not be given to foreign nationals over a U.S. military veteran. But, also I believe an entrepreneur has the right to run their business however they think will generate success and let competition in the marketplace determine the outcome of individual decisions. Regardless of your opinion the DZ did not refuse him service. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  6. Maybe, but you've had all evening and half the morning to mull things over and think up that zinger. They were working in real time Oh, definitely. But I also grew up in the DC area and don't see what the big deal is with running into a politician and interacting with them without referencing their politics. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  7. Actually she took a vote of her kitchen staff and acted based on the vote. A better move, since the food had already been served, would have been to walk out and say, "Our staff, made up of several members of the LGBT community would like to remind you that you have a responsibility to represent all of man-kind in your role within our government. Have a nice dinner." "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  8. If that really happened I'll bet there is far more to the story than you just told. If there is it was not made public, AFAIK. And no, that's not what happened either. Guy had the "Kafir" tattoo on his leg which isn't "infidel" in it's most tame translation and at it's worst is intended as a big fuck you to Muslims, General complains, manifest asks if he can do something about it but never asks him to leave, dude goes and stirs up media shit about how VETERAN WAS KICKED OUT etc. etc. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  9. I think you're forgetting that in the Chicken Little story it was one person making the claim. You need a new phrase for when it's the entire global scientific community. Try calling it "groupthink", you'll get better reactions. Again, helping you make your own points. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  10. I was curious about that too... he did say he became aroused when she took her clothes off. Men are kind of funny that way. They may not want to but can't help it. He was probably fine with the sex, but pissed off about having a weapon pulled on him. That would have been my reaction. I'll bet the silly bimbo could have gotten what she wanted w/o the weapon. And needed a really good story for his girlfriend as to why she saw his ex driving away. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  11. What's cracking me up about this is it really is some white-people-who-think-they're-doing-something bullshit. Do you guys think there aren't kitchens full of Latinos in DC who serve her food every single day? All of a sudden a little Lexington VA restaurant gets a politician at one of their tables and they feel like they're standing up for something. Where was all this energy back during the election when they could have actually done something? Where were the donations? Where was the volunteering? If this guy is Hitler light where was that passion to keep Hitler light out of the Whitehouse? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  12. This sounds very much like the insurance company laying the groundwork for law suit. There are urban legends of this happening but I've never heard of a real instance. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  13. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  14. And then she realized the gas cap was on the other side. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  15. I was curious when or how this would pop up. In my opinion you're still the PIC so ultimately it's your fault. We'll be sure to see this guy counter suing Uber for misleading him to think that the vehicle should have detected the threat and stopped. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  16. Oh well; I take that back. She is as bad as Trump. Can anyone seriously imagine Michelle Obama wearing such a thing on such an occasion? I can not wait to read the justifications for such a tone deaf, selfish, and for our nation, embarrassing act. Bit by bit these idiots are robbing us of our national pride. It's sickening. I actually do think that she means well but is too naive for all of this. HOWEVER, she's not some lady out for a stroll, she has her own staff members and I can't imagine how she walked 10 feet without someone saying, "Melania, are you sure that's the message you're trying to send?" She's a damned fashion model, she knows that her clothing is a message. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  17. Interesting that when you scroll down it looks like both Republicans and Democrats get it wrong on questions for which their party line favors it being fact vs opinion. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  18. Something I've not seen discussed here is the fact that little psychopath Stephen Miller was the origin of this bullshit policy. How does that guy have a job in our government? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcn_B_KosL8 "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  19. I think that Flat Earth guy is out of the hospital now: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/223656/20180325/watch-flat-earther-rocketeer-mad-mike-hughes-finally-blasts-off-into-california-sky.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0WmenDhtaY "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  20. Such as Trump's appointee to the NASA chair, Jim Bridestine: https://www.wired.com/story/nasas-jim-bridenstine-agrees-humans-are-responsible-for-climate-change/ Also, it's NOAA who you're supposd to be accusing: https://www.factcheck.org/2017/02/no-data-manipulation-at-noaa/ Should we just take over your account? We know your accusations better than you do. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  21. Wait....nobody wants to go with this one? Rush citing Mother Jones? http://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-holding-more-immigrant-children-shelters-ever-949099 Within links to the Mother Jones article. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/child-migrants-surge-unaccompanied-central-america/ Manufactured outrage for political purposes only.

    That's great to hear! I look forward to seeing Trump's support of the investigation. Sounds like he finally took the advice of his counsel who already quit that he should cooperate with the investigators. Marc has yet to explain WHY trump promised to lock her up for all her crimes. When trump has a republican attorney general, republican house, senate, FBI director, etc.,etc, Why has trump let her go scot-free Marc? Aaaahhhhh!!! Trump is part of the DEEP STATE!!!!!

  25. I haven't read any about this guy and at first I thought it may be a genuine civil rights issue in his favor but my gut instinct is that he chose the Army path to make a mockery of it for his own self-adulation and the Army finally had enough ammo to show in court that he had zero interest in serving his country and could become a detriment to the soldiers in his charge.
