After speaking with Eric Trump, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday called for stricter discipline against the Aviary server who allegedly spit on the son of President Donald Trump. Lightfoot called Tuesday night’s incident at the posh Fulton Market bar “repugnant” and said “this isn’t about politics, this is about civility.”
The server, only identified as a young woman, was placed on leave by Aviary’s parent company, the Alinea Group — the company known for acclaimed restaurants like Alinea and Next Restaurant. Law enforcement agents kept the server in custody for two hours on Tuesday night after she, as Eric Trump and the Trump Organization described to various media, spit in his face while he was customer at the upscale cocktail lounge. Eric Trump did not file charges against her. Lightfoot called Eric Trump “very gracious” for that decision. The mayor added that the Aviary should “take appropriate action against this employee.”
“We may not agree,” Lightfoot told reporters on Thursday. “And in my case I don’t agree with a lot of things that President Trump stands for. Our values are different. But you cross the line when you assault someone.”

Imagine, just imagine on of Obongos daughters getting spat on.
Well if you say so, thanks for clearing that up. LOL!!
The bulk of this country isn’t going “galt”, that ain’t happenin’.
As a simple analogy, did you know that if tomorrow everybody in your town suddenly decided to start scrupulously obeying the speed limits, stop at every red light or stop sign, religiously use their turn signals, etc., within a relatively short period of time there would be a significant budget crunch? It’s true. Municipalities depend on that revenue. It’s already baked in the cake. In fact, they’ve already spent the money they are anticipating. My point is Americans will bitch and moan about things, but they won’t change their behavior. What do they expect?
We saw a very limited example of this kind of thing, the power of concerted action, with the NFL and the millionaire player antics with their BS “protests” and the rest of it last year. If a critical mass of people stopped going to the game, quit buying their advertisers products, season tickets, jerseys, fan memorabilia, quit going to sports bars, etc, the NFL would have serious problems. It wouldn’t take that long. It doesn’t mean permanently, just long enough for them to feel the pain.
They understand pain. Americans just need to give it to them good and hard that’s all.

Shoe number one.
Now we have to give thanks that democrats understand spitting on conservatives is wrong?
