When 23-year-old Sahar Kian needed a roommate for her home near Georgetown University, she turned to Craigslist. Among her house rules? No alcohol, pets or meat products. And no supporters of President Donald Trump... Kian also insisted that her ad did not discriminate against "political differences."... Kian responded that her house rules aren't a case of "extreme vetting," a phrase Trump has used to describe the review process he intends to make newly arriving immigrants and refugees undergo, and that she wouldn't "drill" potential roommates on their political beliefs.

It is viewed as wrong by one particular demographic on whom it was used religiously some decades ago. They didn't like it, thus it is now viewed as wrong.
That was the funny part - he went from looking like Santa Claus to a twisted smile off kilter with the flickering light of rage glinting in his eyes...how did I not notice they were asymmetrical until he took his mask off?
I agree. Political correctness gone amok.
Kinda cute. Except for the rot between her ears.
She’ll end up with someone just like her and get Murdered in her sleep
I was in line last night at a fantastic hole in the wall BBQ place, picking up our order to take home, and one of the men in front of me started chatting with the owner about some local politician who lost, and he mentioned Trump and they both derisively laughed and laughed. I feel like I am living on a mistake planet around here. You can’t like the President. You are not allowed. I didn’t want my food spit on. I stayed in my closet.
I live in California......
If she really cared she’s open her apartment to an illegal family.
Craig’s List would have been the least of your worries...
I guess she doesn’t want a reliable roomie who believes in carrying her own weight....
We are in the same closet.
I adopted that attitude last year when Trump clinched the nomination. I avoid political discussion and the settings in which they arise. The left has completely flipped their collective lid and unless you live in a solidly red state you are a target.
Code to attract illegals.
How nice of her.
She could get more than she bargains for.
It warms my heart to see the left rediscovering their love for smaller government and increased liberty.
In certain social circles around here, my kids would be punished if the circle knew I am a Trump supporter. It isn’t just about me, so I have to care. These people would do backflips to get children of Approved Minorities (gays, Muslims, etc) to their kids’ parties. But certainly not us. Even if they can clearly see we are kind and decent, they hate us and want us in the back of the bus or possibly in camps.
And if you asked the same people on the left if they approved of bullying they would deny they did.
Wikileaks definition “Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others.”
They are trying to bully us in to submission.
So much wrong with that room. Imagine the other room.
Would like to see what she writes on the blackboard.

During the war with Iraq, I was horrified that there were “children’s prisons.” To punish the parents, their children would be imprisoned without food water or sanitation. The heat would bake the screaming, crying children (many were placed in these hell-holes together) and the parents could listen through the grate as their cries got quieter and then stopped. Just a big earthen room with a grate on it - no ventilation, food, water, sanitation. Just throw kids inthere and forget about them - to punish the parents.
So, ahem, I didn’t have a problem with US presence in Iraq. I wound up having lunch with peers at a company. We ordered and everyone was chatting about how only decent people are leftists, and someone pointed to me and outed me as conservative. All heads turned my way and one woman said my name in a pained, faltering tone. I said if I told them about children’s prisons, none of us would want the meal the waiter was about to bring us. I was “allowed to remain” at the table because there was an assumption that I allowed my “soft heart” soften my head as well. (I never said children’s prisons were the only reason)
They were so sure that “Republican=Evil” that the fact they had known me for decades and respected me could not come close to making them wonder if their virtue “rules’ were perhaps too rigid or faulty. Their need to emote virtue is weird and it almost seems driven by guilt; if you know you are virtuous, wouldn’t your virtue entail humility and you’d just keep your head down and live?
They have a psychological need to believe that we don’t have morals or rules (that lets them assume they are automatically superior and that they should be in charge of us) so they never pause to think that we don’t want to be around them, rent from them, put up with them.
We’re just more tolerant than they are; we don’t admire them; (often) we don’t respect them. We are more tolerant so you don’t hear us demand their political views before we deign to interact with them and they insert that little piece of observation into their vanity - since we don’t work to screen them out socially they assume they we acknowledge they are just....”better”. Narcissism works that way. Narcissists spend all day criticizing others and since others are not as critical as they are, they assume they are without fault. WRONG of course, but they reason if they had a flaw everyone would point it out (is as critical as they are). I don’t want to become them and act like they do. But, it’s just weird to see the bubble around them become so complete; they don’t know and they can’t know because they don’t want to know.
