Trumper banned from Uber for life for being lying, racist asshole

http://www.theroot.com/uber-bans-passenger-for-life-after-she-threatens-to-acc-1794107854



A young Bronx, N.Y., woman who was caught on cellphone video apparently threatening to call the police and falsely accuse an Uber driver of rape was permanently banned from the app for life, according to a company spokesperson.

...

“I’m going to start screaming out the window that you’re raping me, that you raped me,” she says.

“I will punch myself in the face and tell the cops you did it,” she adds. “You wanna play?”

The woman tells the driver, “Go back to your country” and says, “Donald Trump going to send you and your family back. Get the fuck out of my country.”

The incident all seemed to unfold, according to the Post, because the driver did not have an iPhone charger.

“If I don’t have a charger, politely ask me. I’ll politely tell you, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t have a charger,’” the driver says to the woman. “But you start disrespecting me.”

The back-and-forth continues as the driver continues to record and even smiles at the camera.

“I was taking you to your destination until you started talking shit,” he says, just before the woman realizes that the footage is being recorded.

“Why are you recording me?” she yells, while punching the man’s seats. “He just hit me in my face!”


The driver says that the passenger is free to “make up whatever lies she wants” before the woman eventually gets out of the car.

I have a friend that UBER drives...he has gone through about 3 dozen chargers because riders either steal them or are so rough with them they break. He told me that he isn't buying any more and his riders will have to go without.

This is not America anymore.

Gorsuch on the court ends all progress of the past 60 years.

America is gone, for good, the SC will see to that.
