Honestly. I'll bet there is a humiliating reason he is such a disgusting cretin. Someone should expose it.

5. Maybe. But Bulldogs (English or Frenchies or Pitties) are just wonderful animals. Him--just a backyard bully.

The Resistance starts NOW!
Elections have consequences…economic consequences. We went out for brunch at one of our favorite restaurants this morning. I walked up to the manager’s desk and said, “I want a booth for two…and I don’t want a server who voted for Trump.” She stared at me for a few seconds, smiled, and said, “Okay!” We had a delicious brunch with a cheerful server.
We can do this! We are customers and can decide where we spend our money. There are some categories of services that many communities have several options for us as customers. These include:
Restaurants: Tell the hostess or manager that you want a server who did not vote for Trump. If that person says something to the effect “We don’t talk politics, so I don’t know.” Wait until you are seated and ask the server if they voted for Trump. If the answer is “Yes” or there is hemming and hawing around, go back to the manager and say, I want a server who did not vote for Trump or I am leaving.”
Hair Stylists/Barbers: Ask the direct question of the manager or hair stylist. If the salon cannot provide you with a stylist who did not vote for Trump, tell the manager that you are taking your business elsewhere.
Dental hygienist: When you call to make an appointment, say you want a hygienist who did not vote for Trump. If you get any hassle, say that you are taking your business elsewhere.
Dentists: In my shopping community, there are six dental practices within walking distance of each other. I am under contract with my current dentist for an expensive Invisalign process, so I am stuck with that. However, I will ask the Invisalign Tech if she voted for Trump and when I need my teeth cleaned, I will ask for a nonTrumpster hygienist. If they don’t have one, I will go to one of the other practices to get my teeth cleaned. I have been thinking about trying one of the other practices, so a cleaning is a good introduction to a new dentist.
When you opt to not do business somewhere, always explain to the manager why you are taking your business elsewhere.

Have you noticed those dividers between voting booths?

Employers have no right to know how their employees voted (let alone the right to disclose it to you).

And if a business is unwilling to work with you based on your politics? Given the world we’re about to enter… you really want that to be ok?
