The controversy began when restaurant owners Darwell and Nettie Mechelle Yeager posted a video promoting a limited-time discount for “real couples only”—explicitly excluding same-sex couples and trans people. “Cause we don’t do the trans or the lesbians or gays,” Nettie said in the now-deleted clip. The duo emphasized that only “couples who can produce a child” were eligible for the special.

Republicans are just so weird. Why on earth would you make "Can the people at this table conceive a child with one another?" the criterion for whether you'll sell someone a burger? Their psychological issues just leak into all aspects of their lives.

Kids in the 1960s were the same, and the USA still sent them off to get killed, maimed, and traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Bad guys are endorsing the bad guys. Don't vote for the bad guys.

Canadian mining companies are some of the most ruthless, oppressive and damaging organizations in the world. It's not surprising that they're entirely willing to work with the fascists.

I hope you're right, but I'm not convinced we can draw conclusions yet. Starmer's government is not popular and while Farage has been a joke at home among many, he never drops out of the picture because he has a lot of international far-right support and consequently a lot of money. Brexit was obviously stupid and happened; giving Farage power would be similarly stupid and I'm not sure it couldn't still happen. In Germany the AfD is still too strong, though not quite as strong as it had hoped. In Canada I hope people have finally seen through Poilievre, but again Canada underestimates the Trumpist/convoy/PP people at its peril, and while Carney is sending a lot of good messages the kind of liiberalism he represents has not traditionally done well in holding off the fascists.

Billionaires hoarding wealth, and slavery.

Yes. And the language is Danish.

Wow. What colour hands would they recommend? Let me guess...

It sounds like the person with the knife may have been a Tesla dealer who didn't want the news covered:

While covering the story for Seattle’s Morning News, a man approached KIRO Newsradio’s Luke Duecy and pulled out what appeared to be a knife.

“I can’t tell if that person is with another business that’s nearby or with this business. Someone clearly rolled in, older gentleman, did not want us being here, wanted us all to leave,” Duecy said.

“He decided to come up to me right before I came on air and tried to get me to leave, essentially. And then I told him “No.” And that’s when I saw this person reach in the back behind like a belt or something and pull something metallic out underneath, and I went “oh,” and there were unfortunately a lot of bad language between the two of us.

“That was a scary moment as well. But you know, obviously someone does not want us to be here and to show these vehicles, but that’s in fact what we’re doing.”

Wittingly or not, it's quite clear they are.

Trump is a fool who is being used by hostile powers to sabotage the USA and its allies. But he's also a bitter, vindictive, petty little man who wants to sabotage his country anyway.

Fascists don't worry about making sense. Violence is always available to them, and that's all they want you to know.
