If youre a liberal these days, you may have trouble keeping up with all of the new actions coming out of the Trump White House which enrage you. If youre a conservative youve probably already lost track of the number of things the liberals are marching, protesting about, condemning and boycotting. On that last point you can now add one more to the list. The evil ownership of Taylor Gourmet, a local chain of hoagie shops around the Beltway, has gone too far and drawn the ire of progressive activists. (For those of you from other parts of the country, a hoagie is just another regional name for a sub sandwich, grinder or whatever you call it in your area.) The specific target of liberal ire is Casey Patten, co-founder of the business.

So what has Patten done to enrage the Left? Did he endorse the travel ban? Pay his female employees less? Offer to feed the workers when they start building the wall? Nope. He was photographed shaking Donald Trumps hand after a ceremony announcing new White House initiatives to boost small businesses. And that was enough to let slip the hounds of protest. (Washington Post)

The co-founder of Taylor Gourmet angered some Washingtonians today by meeting with President Trump for a photo-op connected to his executive order cutting regulations for small businesses.

Casey Patten, who co-founded the local chain of hoagie shops in 2008, was photographed shaking hands with the president in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. The meeting was first reported by Popville.com, and quickly led to Twitter calls for a boycott from its patrons, many of whom reside in the District of Columbia, which voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. Patten has not yet responded to multiple requests for comment.

If you want a small bit of irony to put the cherry on top of this story, check out the default ad campaign which Taylor Gourmet runs across the district. (Click on image for full size.)

That was apparently all it took. The owner of a string of sandwich shops showed up to mark the roll back of some regulations which should allow small businesses to be more competitive (and, you know keep hiring people) and hes being rewarded with a boycott. I checked in on the boycott on Twitter just to see what might have popped up.

Possibly my favorite here. Im wondering if the store will now actually feature a hoagie called the Hate Sandwich.

I dont want to make it sound as if Im disparaging these efforts entirely. In fact, I want to help. I have it on good authority that Donald Trump eats food. Ive also personally seen footage of him drinking water. Are you really going to associate yourselves with this monster by mimicking his actions? I suggest you stop eating and drinking in protest until the President steps down. As for me, all this writing has made me hungry. I think Ill go order a hoagie.

It all started with a green water balloon.

Now five teens three 18-year-olds and two 17-year-olds face misdemeanor charges of malicious mischief after Mount Pleasant police say the quintet threw water balloons at protesters Monday afternoon.

According to an incident report from the Mount Pleasant Police Department, a green object was tossed from a passenger window of a gold Ford F-150 truck and hit a woman who was protesting outside of Sen. Lindsey Graham's Lowcountry office, 530 Johnnie Dodds Blvd.

Martha Rhodes, 41, said she was one of the protesters hit by a water balloon. At the time, Rhodes said she was holding a sign that said, "Bigotry destroys democracy."

"I didn't honestly realize it was a water balloon." Rhodes said Tuesday. "I was a little bit shaken up.One of my concerns has been the normalization of behavior that we wouldn't have found acceptable until now."

As officers were trying to see if anyone else was hit by balloons at the Monday protest, they reportedly heard sounds of water balloons breaking in the area.

"It's those pickup trucks," people yelled, according to incident reports.

Officers said they then spotted a second pickup truck, a black Toyota Tacoma, and followed the two trucks down Mathis Ferry Road. Police said the trucks then turned onto Seaport Lane, where a traffic stop was conducted of the black Toyota Tacoma. Officers then blocked the only exit until more units could arrive.

After seeing two magazines loaded with .223-caliber bullets inside the vehicle, an officer asked the driver and a minor to get out of the vehicle and to sit on the tailgate of the truck. An officer told the teens one fromIsle of Palms, one from Awendaw and three from Mount Pleasantthat they could be charged with assault.

One of the males said they did in fact throw water balloons, and officers then asked the teen whether he knew the driver of the other pickup truck.

A 17-year-old confirmed that he did, and then messaged his friends and told them to meet them at their location as the officer requested.

When three teenagers in the other truck arrived on the scene, officers asked one of them what they were thinking when they threw water balloons at protesters.

An 18-year-old responded that he only "threw water balloons at a bunch of liberals."

The protest held Monday was in opposition to Graham's support ofBetsy DeVos, President Donald Trump's controversial pick for education secretary.

Comedian Bill Maher is no conservative, but a broken clock is right twice a day. Maher has veered off the liberal path on Islamic extremism, admitted that his side doesnt know anything about firearms regarding Second Amendment issues, and unapologetically points out the false equivalence between Christian and Islamic-inspired terror attacks.

With the 2016 election over and President Donald J. Trump now in the White House, Maher has some advice for how liberals can win: stop being politically correct. Granted, I hope liberals continue with their insufferable ethos of trigger warnings and safe spaces, so we can undo the damage done by theObama presidencybut I think we can all agree that the authoritarian agenda of political correctness is a cancer on the nation.

[Editor's Note: some strong language]

Maher went into his usual New Rules segment on his HBO show Real Time, where he ripped his side for getting angry at things that dont matter, specifically voicing outrage on behalf of people who themselves are not offended.

You know that whole controversy about the name Washington Redskins; they did a survey nine out of ten actual Indians dont give a shit, said Maher. The HBO host named instances, where the PC police called out Chris Hemsworth, Justin Timberlake, Steve Martin, and Hillary Duff for being culturally insensitive, calling the late Carrie Fisher beautiful and witty, or wearing a Halloween costume deemed racist. The Carrie Fisher incident is not a joke. Steve Martin said that when he first saw Fisher, he thought she was beautiful and turned out to be witty and bright as well. He was forced to take that down during the international shock of the Star Wars stars death because apparently looks arent everything. Duff and Hemsworth were caught wearing Indian costumes at Halloween parties.

Justin Timberlake faced torches and pitchforks for tweeting words of support for actor Jesse Williams BET speech. Williams had won the 2016 Humanitarian Award spoke about cultural appropriation, which Timberlake responded that he was inspired via Twitter. He got raked over the coals for no reason. And thats the point Maher is making. None of these things matter.

What matters is that while you self-involved fools were busy policing the language at the Kids Choice Awards, a madman talked his way into the White House, he said.

Of course, I dont agree with the latter part, but as Maher closed his segment, he noted that while liberals were complaining about nonsense, the Tea Party was taking over school boards. Stop protecting your virgin ears and start noticing youre getting f*cked in the ass!

He also said that the public was with the Democrats on the environment, raising the minimum wage, sensible gun laws (thats debatable), path to citizenship, andabortion rights. Why dont they win?

Well, there are many. One is that they apologize too much, which is true, as noted from the examples above. The second is that Democrats remind people of a man who has taken his balls out and placed them in his wifes purse.

As for cultural appropriation, Maher took that to the woodshed as well since its inherently anti-American.

Thats the idea that white people shouldnt adopt things from other ethnic groups, how dare you mix and match cultures to produce something new; where do you think you are some kind of melting pot? he said.

The point is that Maher is against political correctness, where we can find common ground, and he says that this mindset is what keeps liberals from conducting effective outreachwhich is true. Working class voters felt that the Democrats cared more about transgender bathrooms than job creation, hence they broke for Trump. These are the very people Democrats need to reconnect with if they want to win again. Yet, unlike Trump, Mahers reach isnt that extensive. Im pretty sure most progressives will scoff and be offended. Maher says he was offensive, and baited his fellow liberals to come after him so he can tell them to go f**k themselves.

Even on the left, it seems the road out of the wilderness rests with those who are not politicians.
