Trump seeks upper hand on civility

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Virginia restaurant’s decision to not serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders reverberated throughout Washington on Monday, as President Trump seized on the story and Democratic leaders sought to distance their party from a liberal firebrand’s decision to cheer it on.

Trump focused on the brewing controversy as a way to shift the focus from his administration’s “zero tolerance” border policy and onto the actions of his fiercest critics.

The president tweeted his disgust on Monday morning with The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va., and then followed his missive up with an attack on Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who over the weekend urged other opponents of the president to confront administration officials in public.

In doing so, Trump used the kind of insults that have a part of his political brand, even though they added to a tone of incivility that many saw the Virginia restaurant owner as worsening with her actions toward Sanders.

1. Trump lecturing on civility...

While we're at it why don't we have the KKK give a lecture on the value of diversity?

2. I would love his ass

7. That would put him right over the edge

I can see him hiring a bevy of teenagers for his burger runs. I can also see a list of pictures of those teenagers hanging in McDonalds with the warning "Do NOT serve to any of these people".

3. He's not going to get it.

The media is going to be dumbfounded when we vote these assholes out.

They're completely missing how ticked off people are and are focusing on deplorable idiots, instead.

6. The only thing "civility" means to these scumbags is

“Stop calling us out on our fascism, lies, and criminal behavior!”

As if being “civil” to that Nazi Stephen Miller would change his mind on the Muslim ban or family separations...or would stop Sarah Sanders from condescending and lying with every appearance.

Bullshit.
