csb involving Jenna...
It was December, 2016, a month after the presidential election. I was at the Yard House (beer bar) in Addison with two of my friends. We were part of a group of guys who worked together from 2005 - 2010ish and we still try to go on a kayak trip once a year and meet in December for a holiday celebration to catch up.
The Yard House has a big, rectangular bar in the middle of the establishment and customers can sit on all four sides of it. The three of us friend were sitting together on the longer, western side towards the SW corner and in walks Jenna. She sits in the middle of the south side of the bar. She immediately makes her presence known, chatting us up, pimping her real estate services and self-help website. She said she just got out of a first date with someone (poor bastard) and didn't eat dinner. She was on a dinner date. So she orders some food and another drink. She was cute back then, but her in-the-face demeanor immediately sent out warning signals.
She soon starts talking about Trump and singing his praises. My friends and I did not vote for Trump (if you would have told me in 2015 I'd vote for Hillary I would have called you a got damned liar). She then goes on about how if you are a democrat or voted against Trump, then you were not a true American. Okay, that did it. I took exception to her statement and it seemed to surprise her. I'm white and over 50 so I guess she thought I looked the Trumper part. One of my friend is black and the other was Arabic. All three of us start debating her and ask her questions about the border wall and then baited her into giving her opinion on Muslims. My Arabic friend is Muslim as you might imagine, and her opinions of keeping his folks out of the country didn't sit well with him. She thought he was "Mexican" until he told her otherwise.
Well things deescalated very quickly. She ended up getting her food order to-go and stormed out of the establishment. The three of us just looked at each other saying "WTF just happened?" The bartender snickered at us. We just laughed and texted the rest of our group who didn't make it out that night about the attractive crackpot we encountered. I perused her self-help website/YouTube videos later that evening.
Wasn't surprised to see her in the news...
