How about fired?
Cheesecake Factory's liberal slip is showing and it's not flattering.

As far as I know, not even Fox News has given this story any air time. I don’t think Hannity or Carlson or Ingraham have mentioned it yet, which is a big disappointment. I knew the MSM would bury it.

Remember when you got dressed up to go to the doctor? And I’ve seen film from the fifties, with baseball game spectators wearing suits and ties and fedoras. My husband started wearing fedoras a few years ago. He looks really sharp, but he still gets some odd looks from some of the people in our little southern town.
>> But it is incredible what they did.
Indeed. The brazen hostility is a widespread problem.
