So, some local people just lost their jobs because the distant owner of the company doesn’t support LGBTQ lifestyles. A win, I guess? I doubt the UK Chick-Fil-A employees see this as a win.

Welcome to the new liberalism, fascism repackaged. You’re allowed to think anything you want as long as it’s approved thought. Unapproved beliefs are to be punished and squashed by any means possible.

well then if enough people are willing to look past things (or don’t care about those issues in general) then the place “deserves” to stay in business.  

y’know, I’m not exactly comfortable with this.  if people are sufficiently turned off by the company’s actions, they’re free to not go there and let them fold from the lack of business. But harassing the landlord into kicking them out- while not illegal- is kind of shitty. 

What with pulling out of various agreements with other countries, plus abandoning allies, Trump has made the US as untrustworthy as he is. The guy was infamous for screwing over contractors that did work for him, and for the fact that US banks wouldn’t loan him money. Let’s put that guy in charge of the world’s…

I think President Unmatched Wisdom wanted the confrontation in order to force the parents to back down: Mrs. Diplomat cries and begs forgiveness and the parents feel forced to give it because the eyes of the world are now upon them and will think they are dicks if they don’t do the “noble” thing.

Just shameful!

The lead up to this has been reported on extensively on BBC Breakfast. So a little more detail for you.

Can hardly wait to see his tweet about how ungrateful the parents were for not taking up his offer.

Has anybody else notices how uniquely horrible he is with grieving parents? I know this whole thing was his idea because of how tone deaf it is.

At a press conference today, that fucker tried to suggest that the parents WANTED to meet her at the White House, but then they changed their minds. He got all wishy-washy on that statement when the press tried to push and get a solid “Yes, the parents wanted it,” out of him because of course he was lying. Like...fuck,…

“Do you know your left from right?”

Looking forward to him blaming someone other than himself in trying to explain away this dumpster fire. I mean shit, its not like they knew the stance the parents were already in before trying this moronic thing. The whole reason they came here was to try to make the legal system send her to the fucking UK.

Exactly. This is a man who glorified the “pornstar” look on his girlfriends and then lost his mother to a plastic surgery procedure gone wrong. He is every kind of messed up in regards to women and their appearance. I like to think he's suffering some inner turmoil but the controlling relationship monster in him seems…

Counterpoint: that outfit was hideous. But here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter what I think. I’m glad she wore it too, and I’m also glad she told him, via a scripted “reality” show, to get lost. Makes me wonder what they really talk about in real life.

“...and just because you’re on a journey and transformation doesn’t mean I’m in the same spot with you.”

I love everything about the show and watch as often (repeats) as I can but is anyone else tired of Noel like I am? He and his clothes are not funny anymore.

Henry was extra cute this time. Of course precious baby Henry has only ever been to a book festival. I relate, music festivals are one of those things that sound fine in theory, but I know I would be 100% sick of it after a couple hours, less if the weather was bad. 

Steph has had confidence problems, and after winning Star Baker 3 times, she’s likely terrified knowing that she’s the favorite and she’s going to blow it. I know I’d be falling to pieces if I was her.

Rosie definitely looks like Billie Lourd!

I am such a GBBO nerd I cry every time someone gets a handshake. Henry’s “shut up” made me laugh so loud I scared the cat, and Rosie’s peacocks looked like vultures.
