| Trump Effect: engaging in a feud with Donald John Trump increases the chances of something bad happening to you, while he rolls merrily along the way. Starbucks is the latest to learn not to mess with Trump. During the campaign, then-Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz backed Hillary. In September, he said, "I am confident that Hillary Clinton will become the next president of the United States." No problem. Voting for or donating money to Cruella de Vil does not get you in trouble. This does. "The world is screwed up. People are unsettled. There is a tremendous amount of pressure and

All this virtue signaling. As soon as hiring the "refugees" was announced, part-timers had their hours cut. The the same thing occurred when the military hiring was announced.
How good a place is Starbucks to work and show them any loyalty?

I had (or tasted) Starbucks coffee one time only. It was so horrible I poured it out. And I do enjoy good coffee.

I make good coffee at home.
If I want the Starbux effect I´ll pour myself a cup, yell out my own name incorrectly, light a five dollar bill on fire and then scrape the ashes into the coffee cup.
I prefer the Trump effect where I pour my coffee and just say MAGA Baby!!

Having lived near Seattle while starbucks was starting up, I formed some (humble) opinions, shared by many of my neighbor seattlites.
Starbucks, for people with more money than sense.
Starbucks, perfecting drinks for people that dont like coffee.

Sorry, I can’t choke down that swill they call coffee at McDonalds, or deal with the plasma temps.
But I look for alternatives to Starbucks when I can find one, and it would be nice if there were a competing national chain.

Here in Seattle there are many competing chains, though they may be only local. There´s good coffee to be had on every corner. Mr. Schultz you couldn´t leave a good thing alone could you? Coffee wasn´t enough for you. I hope to see you and your profits swill down the drain like your coffee grounds.

Quit Starbucks over a year ago and discovered Dutch Bros. They are a small, community-oriented chain with fun music and friendly employees and a drive-through sensibility! Unfortunately, they are only in a few states.

The left wing, abortion-on-demand NARAL Pro-Choice America is spearheading a protest it says will take place in all 50 states on Aug. 26 to oppose President Donald Trump’s pick to be the next Supreme Court Justice, Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The so-called “Stand for Justice” rallies are planned to take place on “Women’s Equality Day.” The groups joining NARAL to promote the event are the usual leftists who believe a Justice Kavanaugh would “punish women” if the Supreme Court took up a review of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion that

Netflix shares plunged Monday after the leading streaming television service said subscriber growth fell short of expectations in the recently ended quarter. Membership in the quarter grew 5.2 million to a total of 130 million, matching the same period last year but a million shy of what Netflix had forecast, according to a letter released along with earnings figures. Netflix shares dropped 14.11 percent to $343.97 in after-market trade, in a setback to the television juggernaut operating in some 190 markets around the world. "We had a strong but not stellar Q2 (second quarter)," Netflix said in a letter to

Donald Trump goes to Europe, scandalizes the Euroweenies, libs, and cruise-shilling grifters of Never Trump, and comes back victorious. He’s about to get his second SCOTUS justice confirmed – all they have on Brett Kavanaugh is that he likes beer and is named “Brett.” In Congress, the Democrats decided to go all in on abolishing ICE because Americans love open borders and welcome MS-13 or something. In the Mueller farce, the Dems decided that the smart play was to publicly run interference for creepy weirdo Peter Strzok when he went on national TV doing his impression of Lotion Boy from

I’m going to miss Lord & Taylor like mad when the Fifth Avenue flagship closes next year. It isn’t only because of the unlikely bargains I scored on its often-deserted men’s floors — a red vinyl Perry Ellis-label jacket, marked down from $79.95 to $39.95 that strangers hilariously mistake for Armani, and a wool winter coat as good as any for $49.99. I won’t miss the once-charming but more recently cheap-looking holiday windows that weren’t worth waiting on line for. But Lord & Taylor, like every big department store, offered a welcoming civility that softened the city’s rough edges. New

President Donald Trump is beginning his first trip to England as president. The trip has been mired in controversy over the cooling of relations between President Trump and English Prime Minister Theresa May. However, as the Trump presidential limousine pulled into Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, England, the reception could not have been warmer. The president and prime minister shook hands, but all eyes were on Melania. The first lady stepped out of the vehicle looking very much like a Disney princess. She wore a golden floor length gown.

No one is more upset about Trump´s second Supreme Court nomination than the liberal media ... unless it´s the entertainment elites in Hollywood and Manhattan. These liberals couldn´t see the flagrant hypocrisy surrounding their sentences as they unloaded their fear and loathing on television and Twitter. For example, notice the white male late-night comedians mocking Trump for naming a white male to the court. On ABC, Jimmy Kimmel joked Trump "narrowed his candidates down to three — but, in the end, Kavanaugh was the white man for the job." Stephen Colbert pulled a Bingo card from his pocket on CBS. "I

Administration officials are releasing thousands of migrants with young children into the United States, as required by judges, marking the return of catch-and-release policies for migrants with children. Migrants with children are being released with ankle monitors so they can be tracked by border officials. Officials admitted that the ankle-monitors do little to help enforcement officers find and repatriate the vast majority of the migrants who lose their asylum pleas, and that a large percentage of the first set of migrants’ children are not being reunified by their parents because of concerns about criminal activity. Also, some of those released parents reportedly

On July 10, Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) introduced the Zero Tolerance for Illegal Entry Act, which would make it a felony to cross the U.S border illegally and would mandate an E-Verify system for American employers to ensure that they are not hiring illegal immigrants. The law would make illegally crossing the border for the first time a felony instead of a misdemeanor and would up the penalty from six months or less to a year and a day or more. (The full text of Section 275 as it currently stands can be found here.) The proposed law would also mandate the

Reuters contended on Wednesday that Chinese media coverage of the trade dispute with America has been relatively muted, and it was by design because the government has instructed its media outlets not to say anything that would enrage U.S. President Donald Trump. The claim was sourced to “several sources with knowledge of the matter” who claimed to have seen a “memo based on a set of directives issued verbally by government officials.” “When exposing and criticizing American words and actions, be careful not to link it to Trump and instead to aim it at the U.S. government,” Chinese state media organs were

New reports suggest that social justice haven Oberlin College is facing a myriad of financial issues. Oberlin College in Ohio is notorious for its over-emphasis on social justice politics. It’s the alma mater of social justice icon Lena Dunham, who once published an art video that celebrated the “extinction of white men.” In 2015, Oberlin students accused their school of “cultural appropriation” over accuracy issues with certain cultural dishes that were offered in the dining hall. In December 2017, a local business claimed that Oberlin administrators slandered them by calling them racist for prosecuting alleged shoplifters. Now, Oberlin College is facing “negative”

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is going into the Supreme Court confirmation process with a hail of rhetorical arrows zinging by him, including a phony letter-writing campaign aimed at unsuspecting American newspaper editors. At least 21 papers were duped last week, including big-market brands like the Dallas Morning News and The Washington Times. They ran identical letters over a four-day period, each signed by a different person. The effort is an example of public-relations ´astroturfing,´ a technique meant to simulate genuine grassroots support for an idea or cause.

Former CIA Director John Brennan continued Tuesday to criticize President Trump’s performance at the Helsinki summit, saying Mr. Trump could have potentially risked intelligence capabilities during his private meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the intel community might begin to withhold intelligence from Mr. Trump. In light of Mr. Trump’s comments about the intelligence community, Mr. Brennan said “there very well might be” a shift in the covert community to “withhold vital intelligence” in order to protect that information. “Dan Coats and Gina Haspel need to be on top of their game now and speak truth to power,” he

The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy!” Cohen wrote on Twitter, using language suggestive of a military coup. (Tweet) Cohen later said that he was in no way calling for a coup. “No coup called for,” he wrote, claiming it unlikely that someone would call for a coup on Twitter.

Chicago may soon become the largest municipality in the U.S. to test a universal basic income program. Chicago alderman Ameya Pawar recently proposed legislation that would provide 1,000 families with a $500 monthly stipend -- no questions asked. The bill already has the backing of the majority of city lawmakers, and Pawar hopes to soon work with Mayor Rahm Emanuel to implement the pilot program, The Intercept reported. “Nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t have $1,000 in the bank for an emergency,” Pawar told the outlet. “UBI could be an incredible benefit for people who are working and are having

Was Trump winking at Putin? Did he really say he believes Putin more than he believes Robert Mueller about whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election? Former Gus Hall enthusiast John Brennan, off his meds again, tweeted that the presser was “treasonous.” Professional chatterer Anderson Cooper said it was “perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president at a summit.” Every phrase, every gesture of the event will be picked
