| 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!!

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.

Mohr tweeted Fresno State University President Joseph Castro calling him a “COWARD.” “I’m a comedian, huge free speech advocate. Randa Jarrar should be fired 4 her sheer arrogance. A garbage person that cannot possibly be shielded through your terrible+weak PC statement today. Protecting her hate isn’t why you make 300k a year,” Mohr tweeted.

For the past year or so, the press has floated rumors that President Trump was about to fire Bob Mueller. Some of those rumors likely came from Trump through an intermediary. Those rumors were the fog of war. The whole Mueller investigation is a smokescreen. Behind the scenes, Trump unleashed Michael Horowitz, the inspector general with the Department of Justice. Attorney General Eric Holder -- a James comey-style toadie -- rendered inspectors general useless. Holder was part of a criminal syndicate that did not want a snoopy IG blowing the whistle on the FBI, the IRS, the NSA....

A white Starbucks barista probably violated company policy when she handed over a free coffee to a black man who demanded it in the name of race “reparations.” Bryan Sharpe, who goes by “Hotep Jesus” on Twitter, filmed himself going into a Starbucks store to demand a “free coffee” because they’re “racist.”“I heard ya’ll was racist, so I came to get my free coffee,” Sharpe says in the video to the white barista taking his order. “I saw that!” the girls responds. “I heard you guys don’t like black people, so I came to get my Starbucks reparations voucher,” Sharpe

It was revealed that the students used blades out of pencil sharpeners to cut themselves, officials stated. All seven students were seen by the school nurse and none of the children were taken to the hospital, according to officials. School counselors were brought in to speak with the students.

A push by Congress to reinstate recently discarded net neutrality rules is gaining momentum, with backers gaining enough support to force a vote. Last month, the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal 2015 rules that required internet service providers to treat all traffic equally. Backers called the rules clumsy and unnecessary, arguing the Internet had flourished without such protections. But the vote provoked a national backlash from elected officials, technology companies and internet users worried the move would undermine an open internet by segregating it into faster and slower lanes. Almost as soon as the FCC voted, attorneys general were

Details are being worked out, the US president said. South Korea has also signalled that it may pursue a formal resolution of the longstanding conflict on the peninsula. President Moon Jae-in

As deputy FBI director, Andrew McCabe received a phone call on August 12, 2016 -- less than three months before the presidential election -- from the Obama Justice Department, in which he apparently was pressured to shut down the FBI´s investigation into the Clinton Foundation (CF), an organization that some critics allege was used as a multi-million dollar pay-for-play operation to buy access to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Warmonger. Maniac. The Washington Post in January reported most Americans don´t trust President Trump with the nuclear "button." There were even somber pieces about keeping the president from launching missiles. We have the dumbest political press in Washington imaginable. It is just as well. We have to put the dummies somewhere. Keep them in the newsrooms, and away from important places such as the operating theater at the hospital, the drafting room in the engineering department, and the kitchens of McDonald´s. Today news leaked that North Korea and South Korea will reach a peace agreement.

I don´t know how well Jimmy the Geek Comey´s book sales are going, but I do know his trash talk about the president has turned the public off. (When I called him Jimmy the Weasel, readers complained that I was unfairly maligning weasels.) "Forty-six percent (46%) of all voters believe Comey should be prosecuted for leaking information to the media at the time he was director of the FBI. That’s up from 41% last June following Comey’s admission under oath to a U.S. Senate committee that he leaked memos of his private meetings with Trump as FBI director to the

Video of the incident shows the attacker – who was part of a gang of three – repeatedly whipping the teen with his belt while calling out, “Yahudi,” or “Jew” in Arabic, before he is stopped by a passerby. The incident, filmed on the victim’s mobile phone, took place at the Helmholtzplatz, a public park in the Prenzlauer Berg part of Berlin. It can be seen below: Israel’s Kan public broadcaster later

Washington - Dozens of Democratic U.S. Senators on Wednesday introduced a resolution calling for Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt to resign on allegations of ethics lapses. Those relate to the agency’s purchase of a $43,000 sound booth for his office and spending on travel and security. The resolution was signed by 39 senators in the 100-member Senate, which is controlled by Pruitt’s fellow Republicans. Although Republicans can defeat it, the resolution is symbolically important because it represents the most senators ever to call for a Cabinet member’s ouster in resolution, its sponsors said.

McDougal said she is "relieved to be able to tell the truth" about her story. McDougal, who alleges she had a sexual relationship with Mr. Trump over 10 months in 2006 and 2007, had sued over the $150,000 contract she had with American Media, Inc., the company that owns The National Enquirer, for keeping her from speaking about it.

The 44th president and his family purchased the the 8,200 sq ft mansion in the Kalorama area of the capital in 2017 for $8.1million having initially rented the property. Plans are now afoot for a new swimming pool in the grounds, according to TMZ, which says it has seen building permits.

First Lady Melania Trump has not graced the cover of a single magazine in the United States since her husband took office over a year ago.

Originally highlighted by the Twitter account New Real Peer Review, Ensor’s journal article explores the field of “ecosexuality,” a term which means the sexual relationship between humans and plants. Advocates in the field argue that the Earth needs to be treated with love. In addition to reducing harmful environmental practices, ecosexuals believe that humans should physically make love to the Earth. Ensor, an English professor at the University of Michigan, begins by citing the “Ecosex Manifesto,” which
