Yes. Being in the US Armed Forces in Germany there were some "No GI's!" signs in the windows of a few establishments. We put a chair through one of em, and I got to see what the inside of a German lockup looked like. I wonder why they didn't want us there.

I've been kicked out of places just for being a man. Women's bathrooms are unfair as ****.

I'm fine with not requiring the notice of other services though tbf.
Whether they’re serving cakes or abortions the courts find a way to interpret the constitution in a way that justifies what they want politically. It doesn’t matter what the constitution actually says.

If I were a billionaire I’d open clinics with the opposite agenda. Hype the dangers of child birth and adoption and the absolute easy breezy freezy option of abortion. I’d pay women who aren’t pregnant $1000 to get pregnant and have an abortion.

The **** Huckabee thing is funny too.

I’m far more worried about being forced to do **** I don’t want to at work than not receiving services if I actually had money.

But then again why not pretend it’s 1960 forever and segregation is a top priority. As if Huckabee can’t get a sandwich or a queer can’t get a cake.

I haven't a clue what point you're trying to make.

Talk about splitting hairs. They wanted a gay adornment. BECAUSE THEY WERE GAY. They were turned down because THEY WERE GAY.

Don't be that way Ant.

It's how the right feels with the fervent culture war and events such as the recent Sanders thing will mobilize red voters very close to primaries.

Trump's base is what it is. Angry, racist, Wonder Bread White Merica. They ****ing love his stupid rhetoric because they are, well, ****ing stupid.

Dems have been winning in places that are unheard of recently. And the numbers in the primaries leading up to this fall are overwhelmingly blue. SHS is a pimple on the ass of this whole ****ing charade of a presidency.

Dems win back the house, and maybe, maybe, even the Senate. You heard it here first folks.

I didn't say Trump supporters, I meant the right as a whole. Go ahead and deny the effects of bitter partisanship though.

Remember any other similarly confident predictions you made in the past few years?

Didn't do any such thing. Nice projection though.

Plenty of dumb redneck Trump fans but if you think his base isn't at all comparable to the Dems' base then I think you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you're not just demonizing the other side for the sake of partisanship. Plenty of dumb Democrat voters, except they're not nearly as motivated to vote for their non-existent boy.

They still don't have anyone to give a **** about besides Bernie Sanders and like Frown said, Sanders also mobilizes the right while not really mobilizing older Dems. Unless Democrats can get their **** together, grow a pair, and start coming out with platforms that aren't just Republican-lite then any victories are gonna be pretty tepid and/or shortlived.
