Title: Dating sucks if you are a Trump staffer...
Post by: Schewe on July 02, 2018, 12:42:31 am
File this under, aaaah, ain't that sad?

Young Trump staffers are complaining they can't date in DC because everyone hates them (http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-staffers-are-complain-that-they-cant-date-in-dc-2018-6)

Young Trump administration staffers are having a hard time dating in Washington, one of the most Democratic cities in the country.

Even after leaving their administration jobs, former staffers are finding themselves on something of a social blacklist.

One match on an online dating app told an administration official, "Thanks but no thanks. Just Googled you and it said you were a mouthpiece for the Trump administration. Go f--- yourself."

While I don't really support what some are doing like denying service to Sarah Huckabee Sanders nor the strident screeches of Maxine Waters, I guess ya gotta reap what you sow. If you lay with dogs, don't be surprised if you catch fleas. And truth be told, I'm kinda ok if they don't procreate :~) (that was a joke)

Never mind the young staffers, but how about the older singles?

Two solutions (NPI):

1.  nothing beats the timing of a selfie;

2.  there's always some good old incestuous relationship going begging - just takes the first move, but that could open one to charges of political incorrectness.

Life is tough. So glad I faced life when girls's were girls, boys were boys and both were glad of it!

No sweat, Jeff. We'll get those kids out of there and back to Kansas and Idaho within the next few years. We'll replace them with conservatives.

The entire DC area which includes parts of Maryland and Virgina are overwhelmingly Democratic and Liberal.  This story came as no surprise to those of us who live here.  The daughter of one of our good friends is a counselor at the summer camp one of the Kushner/Trump children attends and they had a two hour meeting about how to deal with the implications of dealing with multiple Secret Service agents who are on site as well as trying to prevent any 'bullying' (and I use this word advisedly) issues from arising.  The Kushner/Trump children attend a Jewish day school and the parents were not happy about that. 

It's a shame that civility is disappearing from American life but I guess we don't have a good role model at the top of the food chain who can provide a decent example for us to follow.

What it tells me is that Washington is the deep state.  Liberal socially, greedy economically,  and incestuous relationship regardless if you're Democrat or Republican, left or right.  Exactly what Trump ran against when he beat all the Republicans first who hated him and Democrats afterwards.  Of course they hate him and his people.  It confirms their bias to people who support Trump.  They all wanted Hillary to win to maintain the status quo.

It's telling that the right wing is so upset about the Huckabee incident, but during the Obama administration when a conservative restaurant owner refused service to Joe Biden they cheered.

It is so much better now, that the majority is treated that way.

... denying service to Sarah Huckabee Sanders...

Ah, the privilege of the "white privilege"! Try denying service to a non-white person who supports Clinton.

True Fact:  I have never had an incestuous relationship and I am not a greedy person and I live in the Washington DC area.  Other than that I really have no clue what this comment means.

This could be a blessing in disguise. I mean, who would want to date a commie? In Washington? At least, when they were coming from Moscow, it was with love, and in the form of gorgeous Russian lady spies. Clinton look-a-likes!? In pants!? Eewww!

Actually it's quite easy for them to do so.  They only have to go to the Republican National Committee headquarters and find the folks who gave the money to Wikileaks.

You sure? Maybe a DNA test is in order:

Totally different situation. Huckabee was eating privately with her family, a regular meal.  Biden was on the campaign trail.  He was not refused service in person, and he was planning on visiting the store specifically for a political purpose rather than to eat there.

I clicked on the link to read it, but quickly saw it's from "Business Insider."  Highly biased left wing blog, nothing more.   Click bait and nothing more.

I am surprised (I suppose naively) at the unpleasantness and spiteful pettiness of this thread: the original nasty gloating article, the decision to post a link to it and the comments that have followed. Thread closed.
