When Donald Trump became president-elect yet again, D.C. resident Stacy Kane felt she needed to do something....

So, as his Jan. 20 inauguration creeps closer, she decided to reach out to fellow Airbnb hosts with a request: Consider taking your rentals off the market that weekend, or increase your prices and donate the profits to liberal causes...

The Airbnb initiative was born out of a desire to “try to make any kind of difference that we can in the situation we find ourselves in as D.C. residents and just as human beings right now,” said Kane, a 40-year-old charter school executive director who also operates a two-bedroom rental apartment in her Brookland home.

These people can be hurt by giving them terrible reviews, break them! As of recent a Leftist gal in Memphis who owned a flower shop is heading to bankruptcy for saying she would not do business with Trump voters...she has been closed down for 2 weeks and counting!

How about owners increase prices, keep the extra and tell you to go screw yourself.

I thought price gouging was a bad thing.

In my little north Georgia City (Jasper), any time we have major events, the city opens up its public open spaces for campers, etc. for people to camp out for the event. The Marble Festival, Jeep Fest, etc....to name a few.

I think the US government should allow the same thing there in DC. It’s the peoples’ land, anyway.

That said, I think the opportunity to make some good money for this for some DC residents will be much better than crying in your milk and looking at expenses not yet addressed.

No one’s getting an Air-Bnb in DC. They’ll get it in Silver Springs and ride the metro in.

It’s way past time to move our nation’s capital from a third world city to a civilized city. Which, of course, totally eliminates any of the “blue” states.

Not even close to kidding.

But God forbid if a bakery refuses to bake a cake for a customer they disagree with.

…hahahahHa!!! The LAST thing any lib would do is pass up the opportunity to make money! Much less donate a profit. Stupid ass!

Sounds like a great place to open a homeless illegal alien camp on the front lawn; what’s that address again?

Hey, remember when Democrats tried to destroy the Wedding Photographer and the Cake Maker? Seems like it would only be fair to Let Loose the Lawyers of War!
