You have just shown who the idiot is here
I don't like the way Sarah Sanders was making fun of the LGBT waitresses blue and green dyed hair, pointing at them and laughing. I would have kicked her out for that too. Do you agree?

Sketchy? WTF? Because they were black?! The black guys weren't doing anything wrong. The fat woman whose face always looks like someone just farted in it has an active role in trying to dismantle the country and its institutions. On top of which, she's just being given a taste of the very thing that she supported. Did I mention that she should eat (gay wedding) cake?
What is wrong with you?
Blue and green hair? Was this when she was sent to pick up Donny's McDonalds? That may have been the clown.
In this situation she was asked to leave discretely, not told, it seems and agreed. Probably because she knew she could use it to justify cake etc stuff. She is a civil servant but is a public person in her role and not one of the protected groups.
She has earned loathing on her own merits, is leaving the press sec job she says however I would not want her money and would not have her as a customer.
A relative of mine was a technical planner for many bombing raids during WWII. As a kid he told me about 'bomber pilot mentality', essentially how a soldier killing one person can have nightmares, the guy who presses the button to drop incendiary bombs buring thousands of civilians is fine. He had an interesting idea that the Norden bomb sight being a practically useless piece of garbage (his criticism of it did not help his career) was of one benefit. It kept the mind of the operator busy programming the analog computer.
Sometimes I do wonder if Trump admin staff have something similar going on being distracted by other things they miss the big picture of actual harm done to people.
Whatever.. Sanders has turned this into a backhanded victory for her side to a degree. The man who asked her to leave as his staff were upset was just a man doing his best caught in crosshairs.

"active role in trying to dismantle the country and its institutions. " - Amusing - considering that no administration had a more active role in active role in trying to dismantle the country and its institutions than the Obama administration. Just take a look at Obama's large number of Executive Orders which broadly attempted to change U.S. law and policies. Take a look at the large number of Obama policies turned back by courts as being unconstitutional. Take a look at Obama's absurd regulations on business.
I was just googling and saw this. From Malcom Gladwell who did the brilliant talk on spaghetti sauce and choice making people unhappy if I recall.
Off topic but worth a look for thinking men.

Only a stupid Canuck could conflate a cake maker refusing to make a gay wedding cake with refusing to serve someone at a restaurant because of their political beliefs.
The Left is limping down the road to complete and total insanity. And it’s fascinating to watch.
Fuck this is hilarious.
Funniest POTUS in history.
And getting the job done, too.
Bravo.
Reveling in hypocrisy is a core principle of radical leftism. Can't survive without it.
I see nothing in this law that addresses bashing a company.

§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.
(a)Inducement or coercion of benefits. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.
Example 1:
Offering to pursue a relative's consumer complaint over a household appliance, an employee of the Securities and Exchange Commission called the general counsel of the manufacturer and, in the course of discussing the problem, stated that he worked at the SEC and was responsible for reviewing the company's filings. The employee violated the prohibition against use of public office for private gain by invoking his official authority in an attempt to influence action to benefit his relative.
Example 2:
An employee of the Department of Commerce was asked by a friend to determine why his firm's export license had not yet been granted by another office within the Department of Commerce. At a department-level staff meeting, the employee raised as a matter for official inquiry the delay in approval of the particular license and asked that the particular license be expedited. The official used her public office in an attempt to benefit her friend and, in acting as her friend's agent for the purpose of pursuing the export license with the Department of Commerce, may also have violated 18 U.S.C. 205.
(b)Appearance of governmental sanction. Except as otherwise provided in this part, an employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that could reasonably be construed to imply that his agency or the Government sanctions or endorses his personal activities or those of another. When teaching, speaking, or writing in a personal capacity, he may refer to his official title or position only as permitted by § 2635.807(b). He may sign a letter of recommendation using his official title only in response to a request for an employment recommendation or character reference based upon personal knowledge of the ability or character of an individual with whom he has dealt in the course of Federal employment or whom he is recommending for Federal employment.
Example 1:
An employee of the Department of the Treasury who is asked to provide a letter of recommendation for a former subordinate on his staff may provide the recommendation using official stationery and may sign the letter using his official title. If, however, the request is for the recommendation of a personal friend with whom he has not dealt in the Government, the employee should not use official stationery or sign the letter of recommendation using his official title, unless the recommendation is for Federal employment. In writing the letter of recommendation for his personal friend, it may be appropriate for the employee to refer to his official position in the body of the letter.
(c)Endorsements. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office to endorse any product, service or enterprise except:
(1) In furtherance of statutory authority to promote products, services or enterprises; or
(2) As a result of documentation of compliance with agency requirements or standards or as the result of recognition for achievement given under an agency program of recognition for accomplishment in support of the agency's mission.
Example 1:
A Commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission may not appear in a television commercial in which she endorses an electrical appliance produced by her former employer, stating that it has been found by the CPSC to be safe for residential use.
Example 2:
A Foreign Commercial Service officer from the Department of Commerce is asked by a United States telecommunications company to meet with representatives of the Government of Spain, which is in the process of procuring telecommunications services and equipment. The company is bidding against five European companies and the statutory mission of the Department of Commerce includes assisting the export activities of U.S. companies. As part of his official duties, the Foreign Commercial Service officer may meet with Spanish officials and explain the advantages of procurement from the United States company.
Example 3:
The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency may sign a letter to an oil company indicating that its refining operations are in compliance with Federal air quality standards even though he knows that the company has routinely displayed letters of this type in television commercials portraying it as a “trustee of the environment for future generations.”
Example 4:
An Assistant Attorney General may not use his official title or refer to his Government position in a book jacket endorsement of a novel about organized crime written by an author whose work he admires. Nor may he do so in a book review published in a newspaper.
(d)Performance of official duties affecting a private interest. To ensure that the performance of his official duties does not give rise to an appearance of use of public office for private gain or of giving preferential treatment, an employee whose duties would affect the financial interests of a friend, relative or person with whom he is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity shall comply with any applicable requirements of § 2635.502.
(e)Use of terms of address and ranks. Nothing in this section prohibits an employee who is ordinarily addressed using a general term of address, such as “The Honorable”, or a rank, such as a military or ambassadorial rank, from using that term of address or rank in connection with a personal activity.
