"I think that should be perusing."

__________

Yes indeed .... even "studying or examining".

It is amazing how many of those errors are in articles these days.

I even ran across three misspellings in an article by the brilliant Victor Davis Hanson a few days ago. (He better watch over his staff.)

Who would choose to live with liberals? I won’t even date one.

Massive lawsuit. Get rich young lady.

I say this works both ways. As an employer I have the right to hire or not hire anyone I don't think would fit in with my company. As a real estate owner I also have the right to choose who I want to live in my property.

" ...and if it had been an apartment issue, well political beliefs are not a protected class, yet."

A Washington DC Fair Housing chart was posted in her Twitter feed. Not sure if it's valid or not...but it looks official. Political beliefs are protected according to the chart. (Wow!)

—— Now it’s garbage.

“She doesn’t have any grounds to sue. This is a roommate situation.” -——

Not sure about that. DC housing law prohibits discrimination based upon political affiliation or source of income (Fox).

She has a strong case and should file suit. No one can refuse to rent you housing because “We hate Fox.” Period. Putting that in writing was really dumb of the lib. If she’d said something vanilla like “we are going to pursue other tenants” there would have been no case but actually CITING her writings and putting that whopper in there leaves no wiggle room for the renter to say it is not political.

AOC is looking for a roommate.

It might be the ying-yang of political friendships.

Well if that is the case sue the bastards.

I still think that roommate situations are different.

“”looking to downsize to an apartment with roommates in order to save money on rent””

I don’t think it’s at all clear WHO denied her the right to rent an apartment. She could have been looking for an apartment which she could rent and then look for roommates to share the rent. I think she would have said if she had been looking for an apartment to share with someone already occupying it. “Downsize” is what I focused on...On that basis, I would say it’s a violation of housing discrimination laws.

Landlord = idiot, but why would you want a lawsuit against someone exercising their right to freedom of association?

won’t sue

She can't sue. Even if she could, nobody here should want her to.

WTF is wrong with you people? If even FReepers are this stupid and ignorant of our laws, then the USA is just over.

This is why they attach the tag “conservative” to normal people - to better identify and eliminate them.
