Trump ran on his outrage at the system and how wrong (his view) Obama/Clinton and most recent presidents were on foreign policy, immigration, national security, trade, and a host of other issuers. Why does he (and his sycophantic chorus) always fall back on "Obama did it, too!!" Didn't you vote for him so he would be different?

Monroe won't answer why countries with actual terrorists that also do business with Trump aren't on the list. DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLECT (and then stick head in the sand).

This has been answered. These countries are our allies. It has nothing to do with Trump's business dealings, though there are many morons who lap up every conspiracy theory they can think of.

And btw, he made a deal with the Saudi King to support safe zones in the Middle East. I'm sure they will pay for them. That's where these refugees belong, not here where they will be a burden, cause crime (if Europe is any indication), and don't fit in.

I don't think you emotional children get it. You lost. Cry all you want, turn to your tired labels of racist, bigot, xenophobe, etc. You're not changing a thing.

I'm missing the part where this is supposed to be insulting or offensive. Safe spaces are intended to make oppressed people feel comfortable and at ease. Why would you be proud to be against that?

You would miss the point, LOL.

There is no point because that cartoon doesn't even make sense- congressional democrats wouldn't be asking for a safe space for themselves. Why am I not surprised that this was the best political cartoon you rubes could find???

What are you talking about, no democrat safe space? Where do you think all the democrats boycotting the Trump swear-in were hiding?

Really bad when they can't at least respect the orderly transition of power. Another tradition that demonstrates USA self enlightenment, despite the attempts of the left to prove otherwise.

I think our "activist" is back on the anti-gentrification warpath.

Today Curbed featured a bland profile of (mostly downtown) JC's best-kept secrets offered up by a Barcade employee who has lived in town for three years.

It's much the same as several other puff pieces in recent years selling the merits of DTJC to the Curbed readership on the other side of the river - certainly nothing offensive in her observations.

Nonetheless, scroll on down to the comment section and take a read of the screed written by "RealJCNative1". Reads like the shrill ranting of the "JC Take it Back" girl that started this thread a few years back. And of course, she's still furious about the "colonizers" taking over her town.

Yawn.

Hillary turned a lot of people off, that is something the Dems refused to accept. She lost me when she said people has to stop believing what is in the Bible. There are millions of Americans, probably not in JC, who shares my views. It is not Hillary's place to tell me what to believe. I saw her state this at a news conference in April 2015.

Time to pump the brakes a bit, you sound like a stuck-up broad.

You've done your part and complained to the manager that you find the store to be unwelcoming to guests, and your next step should be to contact their corporate office. Turn to social media if you must, FB and Twitter have proven very effective and getting issues resolved.

Boycott the store in the meantime by checking out some of the other local coffeeshops that others here have suggested. Many of them offer a great atmosphere for relaxing and enjoying a cup of "good" coffee.

Ahhh.... this from a guy who interprets a simple question about a new neighborhood bakery, "Notice the hours?' to be xenophobic. I have a whole lot of faith in your ability to read and comprehend.

What's the difference?

Ultimately, the point (which others in this thread back up) is that the place is not any more expensive that most other places in the neighborhood. Particularly given the quality of what you get in food and ambiance and overall experience.

As for the price of burgers, I think any decent burger (accompanied with fries) at a sit down restaurant in DTJC will set you back at least $10 - $15. That's just the going price point.

Wow, you confuse me. Sometimes you come across as intelligent, other times like this, it's like you're reading only what you want to think you read.

What's the difference between more expensive and most? I need to explain that? And then you qualify your argument with adding ambiance and overall experience?

After I show you that $14 is kinda expensive for a burger, you try to group that $14 with the $10 burgers which is 40% more?!?

The guy only asked if the food prices were reasonable. This is a guy who was looking for a 2BR < $1600

Give up man.

Why be sexist? You should be happy to see a fellow resident achieving commercial success from her passion.

Where do you see anything remotely sexist in the above statement? I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming to be helping the Jersey City art scene while having the same person shitting all over it funding your events. Not that I expect a conservative right wing troll like yourself to see anything ethically or morally wrong with that.

She's a nice lady just trying to do her thing, yet you routinely shit all over her when she's mentioned. I'd say that's sexist, considering you can very easily just ignore her.

So where is the evidence of sexism? Can't wait to hear it! Is it because she's a woman so we need to treat her like a giant infant? Because it's actually you being sexist if you think she should be treated with kid gloves just because she's female.

Tony he's just messin with you. Relax.

We both know that if Chicpea was male, Tony wouldn't be so vocal. I could dig up the threads, but I won't bother.
