LEXINGTON, MAInterrupting the two-time presidential candidate in the middle of her speech, a member of the Ruby Tuesday waitstaff reportedly warned Jill Stein Tuesday evening that her official Green Party response to President Trumps congressional address was disturbing the restaurants other patrons. Excuse me, maam, but if you wouldnt mind lowering your voice a bit so other guests can enjoy their meals, server Teresa Whitman politely asked Stein, who had spent the last several minutes railing against Trumps plan to lower the corporate tax rate by 20 percent in front of a corner booth containing four other members of the Green Party. We appreciate your dining with us this evening, but multiple tables have complained that your shouting about excessive military spending is upsetting their children. If you cant speak at a reasonable volume, well have no choice but to ask you to leave. At press time, a defiant Stein was arguing that she had already purchased several rounds of Ruby Relaxer cocktails and was therefore entitled to denounce Trumps proposal to cut $54 billion from non-defense-related federal programs as loudly as she wanted.

There, there, Jill. Pootie sends his love, even if he's no longer sending cash.

It's satire.

...seems to dabble in both! But, thank you. I had to do a double... I could picture Stein, half-lit in a booth railing at the bar television and scaring the children. I guess I really wanted this to be true.

Is that she's complaining about Trump rather than the Democrats.
Raster
(20,996 posts)6. yeah, that was another part I wanted to be true...
... but still, Stein, half-lit in a Ruby Tuesday's corner booth railing AT ANYONE is such an awesome vision!
