Oh for Christ’s sake FINE. In the spirit of the Civil Rights Act I will happily exhume the corpse of Heinrich Himmler and place a plate of delicious risotto ai funghi in front of his his bony remains if we can just MOVE THE FUCK ON already.
Professional centrists all agree, there’s nothing quite like the glamor and excitement of “The Bothsides Olympics”.
President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday morning that the US should start deporting illegal immigrants with no legal process.
But you want to talk about a restaurant choosing not to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
You are beneath contempt.
That’s fine, Mr. Haass, as long as you feel the same about all those restaurants that had signs up to the effect of “if you support Obama, you’re not welcome here.” And if you support the rights of LGBTQ people to get services from bakeries and other businesses. Otherwise…
Well, I’m sure the Trumpers will be all in now for supporting the Civil Rights Act.
Liars are not a protected class.
Silence in the face of evil is not a virtue.
I could be really snarky here, but Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not a member of a protected class. Just ask the Supreme Court.
She was politely asked to leave and she apparently did so without fanfare.
She made her choice and must now live in a divided society that she has helped create.
Where was that moron all those years when the Civil Right Act has been blatantly and repeatedly violated?
Mr. Haass, I suggest you stick to your purported area of expertise, foreign policy. Leave the Constitutional Law issues to the folks who actually understand it
Well, you have to admit, a fanfare of sorts would have been nice.
“Senior White House officials, as a group, are not covered by the Civil Rights Act.” Cool shade.
Thing is, I’m happy enough not to give them my money. He’s supported by a majority, so you might as well put out a sign that says you’re hateful and dumb and don’t want money from people who aren’t.
Yah, and the US should be the international sheriff of the world. He really is a deep believer in civil rights.
A restaurant or bar can refuse to serve any individual who is not in a protected status. If Sarah had gone in wearing a braless bandeau top, she could have been refused. If Sarah had gone in with a pit bull, she would have been refused. Since Sarah went in as a morally depraved apologist for kidnapping, she was refused.
I have long favored Berlioz’s March to the Scaffold as the theme for this administration.
TV talking heads on this issue are just stupid.
At some point you push and push and push and now you’re going to shriek when someone finally pushes back?
Always the bully’s lament.
(In my received pronunciation BBC accent).
“Thanks awfully, Dr. Haass, I’ll keep your opinion in mind. If any valuable thoughts occur to you in the future, don’t hesitate to pass them on.”
Maybe they’re worried they could be next.
