Editor,
I am pleased to submit some possible new menu items for the San Mateo restaurant that has banned MAGA caps and then issued a fake apology to try to save business.

Classic Darwin- thank for the great laugh this morning
It is always a nice day when you walk around with a twinkle in your eye.
Possibly the best post of the year, thus far. I, for one, would like to see the extended menu. Perhaps some suggested prices, also? And I may borrow some of your dishes, but I'll be sure to give you credit for creating them.
Don't forget the Donald Trump Sandwich:
"White bread, full of baloney, with Russian dressing and a small pickle".
Justin! Thanks for the belly laugh. The visual alone...LOL!!
Don't forget the mustard!
Darwin - I'd like to suggest a takeout menu item. A D(emocrat)-Bag lunch which consists of bitter melon soup for an appetizer, a slice of black-bird (crow) pie, and sour grapes for dessert. Unlike contributions to Hillary's presidential campaign disaster, this lunch will provide a fulfilling return for your money.
How about the "ImPeach Sundae," or the "If She Wasn't My Daughter" Cocktail.
Justin B - why are we bringing the Clinton's and their daughter into this menu? They have nothing to do with this restaurant's ban - now rescinded. Probably because the partners told the guy to get his TDS under control.
In case you were asleep, Drumpf said, "If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” But of course, I wouldn't expect someone who supports a man who says, "grab her by the ****...." to acknowledge Trump's mile long list of transgressions, frauds, and lies. Hope that kool-aid is tasty.
Justin B - sorry, the first thing that still comes to mind is the Clinton's. If you have to explain it... But, I now have another suggestion for Darwin's menu and which you and other TDS sufferers may like. The Blue Plate Special, consisting of chicken skin (yakitori-style) fried extra thin, and smothered with hot and sour sauce. Provided with unlimited refills of Trump Kool-Aid to add that tasty sweetness to complement the sour. And we all know that Trump Kool-Aid is a winner, as evidenced by the millions who've tried it.
