I don’t know Fake so-called 'prez.' never met him, but to me he is a mendacious, disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by ANY OF people I speak to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our or for ANY government!

"Giant corporations are struggling to pay rent, too: The Seattle Times reports that Seattle-based coffee chain Starbucks is demanding landlords give them a break on rent as they prepare to reopen 90% of their 8,900 stores by early June."

I remember there used to be a Peet's in downtown Fremont. And then suddenly it was replaced by a Starbucks. Like we need another fucking Starbucks. The back story was that Starbucks offered the landlord an exorbitant, money-losing lease rate that they knew Peet's couldn't match. Classic predatory anti-competitive practices.

And now suddenly Starbucks wants to come crawling hat in hand for the charity of their landlords?! Yeah, Starbucks. Ruthless capitalists when it suits them, suddenly transforming to bleeding-heart socialists when that suits them.

P.S. @1, yeah, we know Trump is bad. We agree. Can you maybe be a bit more disciplined with your comments? Yeah sure, we can all just see when the comments are coming from you and skip them. Maybe that's the reasonable approach for those of us who value our time.

@4 -- “@1, yeah, we know Trump is bad. “
‘We’? Are you speaking for everyome?

“We agree.”
See above.

“Can you maybe be a bit more disciplined with your comments?”
Not likely.

“Yeah sure, we can all just see when the comments are coming from you and skip them. Maybe that's the reasonable approach for those of us who value our time.”

Great advice.

@5 Hahahaha! No.

@5 is an obvious troll. please ignore.

@5: Even Steve Bannon would say that's over the top.

@8

The posting history is replete with it- to the extent that we don't even have a Poe's Law situation.

It was barely passable satire at any rate, but still.

11

@4:

If getting a break on rent is good enough for STBX it should be good enough for the average Joe. Waddayasay unrepentant Capitalists?

12

@5, I'd say he won by a "tiny hand"-y margin! Ha! Gotcha!

Also, I think the reference you're after is Triumph of the Will, not "Will of the People"

14

I wonder if Starbucks is actually having trouble paying rent, or if they're taking advantage of the climate and would rather stockpile their money than pay it out to rents, considering evictions aren't being enforced right now.

15

@14, good point.

17

@16 -- so far, that's only Two.

18

@14: Reflects very poorly on Howard Schultz.

21

I doubt Starbucks can't make its rent. It just wants to see what it can get away with and am certain it will do everything it can to get away with as much as it can.

@18 Howard Schultz left Starbucks in 2018.

The troll seems to be using all of the time it used to use making up new 404 accounts to troll harder than ever.

@dirtydave

With trump 'in charge'
his base is gonna thin
itself long before the Election
and for that I gleefully Cheer them on.

It's just Sad that he/they're gonna take down
so many Innocent Bystanders in their mad
rush to fight for the Right to Die stupidly.

@14 Clever! They're probably betting they have enough leverage to get a substantial break on their rents. It pays to be the 500lb gorilla, I suppose.

@26. Optimal tip-to-tip efficiency.

I'm not concerned about it really. I feel like an overarching and unprecedented element will drive voter turnout in a presidential race to the obvious benefit of dems. This is likely what happened in 2008 & 2012, with an inspiring black guy bringing out numbers to previously unseen levels. Nobody had really forecast the turnout surge then and I'd not be surprised if covid, and Trump's devastating and disastrous handling of the crisis, has a similar effect come November. His efforts to suppress vote-by-mail and turnout in general is obviously a cause for concern, but one that we're all aware of and working to counter and overcome.

Ken, your trolling has been entertaining me for about ten years now.

Joe Biden and the Democrats are winning

From the presidential race, to the House, to the Senate, the numbers all look great for Democrats, and that’s today, before we even account for the fallout from Trump's horrific response to the pandemic—which may cause tens of thousands more coronavirus deaths, and tens of millions more jobs lost.

I doubt trump will be around by the election. Covid is a dreadful disease, especially if you're old, fat and dumb. And he's doing his best to make sure that the morons who vote for him will join him in The Great Beyond.

@blip -- and yet, I've always thought
MAGAts was quite clever and yet
not nearly as clever as
the 'Teabaggers.'

LOVE their tri-corner hats!
with the dangling little tea
bags slap slapp slapping
them in their eyeballs.

Too good!

I may be better off than I was four years ago, but it has nothing to do with the moron in the White House.

Hmmm.
Ever wonder
how a Teabagger
"president" might look?
I did.

@19, "And this is before Obamagate really heats up."
Now I understand you are a Troll, not the sharpest tool in the shed, and you consider hypocrisy a virtue, but...
Obama was elected President (twice) and while only the electoral college counts, he did also win the popular vote. Your boy Trump says the President can do whatever he wants, so Obamagate is just as perfect as The Phone Call. Well, actually more perfect, the founding fathers were a bit concerned about foreigners, but Obama allegedly used Americans to dig up dirt on the opposition while Trump tried to use foreigners, but I'm not quibbling, perfect is perfect. And stupid troll is stupid, unfortunately he has a lot company.

52

Polls in the presidential race mean nothing right now, but I think the chances are better than even that the ultimate choice in November will not be Trump vs. Biden. Too many things are still in flux.

Love how that baby pats his(?) belly like a grizzled Italian patriarch boasting about his wife's cooking skills. He definitely remembers something of a past life.

@44:

Okay, here you go: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/

Obamagate is just more Trump hates the black man more than ever bullshit. If the preient has total immunity from everything and can do anything (like Trump claims) then there i no crime! If that is NOT the case, well it's Trump who will do time.

Trump got bested by his own minions who have no interest in his playing the Obamagate game, by being told that if he wants Obama testify before them, Trump has to do so, too. Ruh Roh. What's a dumb shit racist failure of a fake president to do? Trump will never get over that President Obama will be one of the most beloved presidents of all time, while Trump's grave will be pissed and shit on every day until the end of time.

57

@56 Professor_Hiztory, how about "Rightwing Anus Troll", or "RAT" for short. ;-)

(that's really disgusting imagery, but appropriate... Republicans are pretty disgusting)

58

*president (ugh my keyboard is not working properly)

59

@56: So what if your brother is a Republican. The question is if he will vote for Trump.
