News and commentary: progress in work
Xhale City in the Atlanta, Ga., area, says it immediately fired an employee after his profane, anti-Donald Trump rant went massively viral.
Assuming this NSFW video is real and not a staged prank of some kind, the vape shop employee was triggered by a customer, identified by the Daily Mail as Ian Furgeson, 36, who entered the store wearing MAGA gear in an attempt to purchase vape juice.
Any non-liberal invited on The View to discuss politics is almost guaranteed to be abused and shouted down. For Judge Jeanine Pirro, the show even added an additional interlocutor, CNN’s Never Trump zealot Ana Navarro, as part of the ambush.
This is a grassroots, rapidly-gaining-traction movement created by Brandon Straka, initially with his own viral video, that has created a social media community of disaffected liberals who have left the Democratic Party and its authoritarian, intolerant inclinations.
Originally launched on Facebook where you can find substantial content, there are now also a sizable number of video testimonial/personal stories from ex-Democrats on the #WalkAway YouTube fan site.
Many people seem to forget that Donald Trump himself was a Democrat and independent before seeking the presidency as a first-time candidate on the Republican ticket in 2016.
On her website, civil discourse champion Vanessa Berben makes it clear that she is has not signed on with conservatives or Republicans, unlike many of her #WalkAway contemporaries who have officially made an ideological journey from left to right. But she shares their basic principles insofar as free speech is concerned.
“To vocalize any kind of dissenting opinion that doesn’t fall in lock/step with “the war for social justice’ gets us labeled a Nazi, bigot, or some other kind of racist— sometimes by our own families. So here’s my contribution to this movement. From one lifelong Democrat, here to say No More. I’m nowhere near Conservative, nowhere nar Republican, but I’m still breaking up with my party. No more rabid cognitive dissonance, no more exaltation of victimhood– I’ve chosen to #WalkAway.”

As she further explained on the video embedded below, ‘Somehow, advocating for freedom of thought has become a radical notion.”
Although Democrats and liberals here and in Europe, including blue-check Twitter, seem incapable of distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration moreover, Berben in her video presentation specifically rejected the premise that favoring legal entry into the U.S. and strong borders are in an any discriminatory.
“Being an American surpasses color, surpasses creed, it even surpasses country of origin—This is an amazing country, and I love being an American. And I love anyone who holds American ideals up so highly, that they would be willing to leave their home country to come here. I’m so for that; I’m so all about that…”

John Nolte of Breitbart News is compiling a list of what he deems “media-approved” violence and verbal threats against Trump supporters as well as the president himself and his family.
Nolte’s compilation totals 133 at this writing, but sadly the number is likely to increase as what some have deemed Trump derangement syndrome continues.
Some Trump foes seem to be triggered, in particular, by those who wear the MAGA hat in public.
It’s not just a phenomenon within the U.S. either. The above video is from Denmark where such behavior allegedly constitutes a hate crime.
Update: The number of incidents has reportedly neared 200.
Total now stands at 190. https://t.co/akWokQp1EW

A potential sale to the owners of The Daily Wire has also apparently fallen through.
TheBlaze website began losing market share when Beck went full-on Never Trump and has been in a downward spiral ever since. Parting ways with commentator Tomi Lahren in a well-publicized dispute probably didn’t help matters either.
The Daily Beast claims that Beck recently just issued pink slips to more workers.
‘The right-wing cable and digital media company—founded by Beck shortly before he exited Fox News in 2011—fired another round of staffers this week, shrinking a workforce that has already been reduced to less than 50 employees, according to two sources who spoke with The Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity. The two sources also confirmed that more than a dozen employees had been laid off over the past several days.
“TheBlaze once generated a reported $90 million in revenue annually, but has been in a slow motion implosion over the past several years. Top-level managerial shakeups, seemingly ceaseless layoffs, and office closures have depleted morale, tanked the site’s web traffic, and caused cable distributors to jump ship.
“The most recent round of cuts are significant for the already-hobbled company which has with regularity for more than two years—largely without communicating to staff the reason or scope of the cuts.”
