Meade at Starbucks: "I just want to say that I support your boss, Howard Schultz. Because I hate the Democrats, and I hate the Republicans, so go Howard."
Barista (leaning in, smiling, a little bit conspiratorially): "I agree."

I thought you guys were snowed in.
I'm thinking "Two Latte's in Every Pot" might work as a slogan.
Go Meade!
Everyone's gone meta. It's kind of like pool in the 80s, where everyone decided that every cueball had to have some kind of weird spin, no matter how straight the path to the pocket.
Were you there for coffee or the men's room? Asking for a friend.
Because I hate the Democrats, and I hate the Republicans, so go Howard."
And go Trump.

Meade is sort of like Thoreau, who called himself “Inspector of Snowstorms.” Walking in and after snowstorms is a lot of fun.
Barista (leaning in, smiling, a little bit conspiratorially): "Go to Hell. This is Caribou."
Schultz can look to be latest victim of abuses of the Patriot Act. It’s not like Trump controls those guys, they are more like the Pakistani Secret Police, a branch of government unto themselves.
Heh.
And the Barista probably hated Howard Schultz. I'm about to persuade my wife to buy a burr mill coffee grinder--and get our coffee beans on line. It's my version of "sticking it to the man". We'll no longer be tied to Starbucks Italian roast ground at the store.
Pasquini here in Los Angeles does a very nice dark roast--better coffee, no Starbucks.
But first you have to get the wife to agree to more kitchen clutter.
Bold would be you saying that with your Trump dove shirt.
Schultz will divide tax rates according to the store cup names.
From Demi to Trente..with sprinkled social points accumulating on punch cards or app that can be redeemed for deductions.
Because I like Trump, I say "go Howard"!!!
"Because I hate the Democrats, and I hate the Republicans, so go Howard."
Funny coming from Meade, not quite so funny when Althouse makes it part of her rationalizations come the next election.
The wife drinks Starbucks Veranda Blend religiously but I have never liked their coffee much, not any of the varieties. Right now my coffee is Kirkland Signature Medium Roast, 40 oz bag for $11.99 at Costco. Better than anything Starbucks's produces. Also shows how over-priced the Starbucks brand is.
Howard wouldn't get my vote but he would be preferable to any of the occupants of the Democrat Presidential Clown Car. I would agree he would split the D vote and get Trump re-elected, I think Trump has a base that will stick with him.
Those pricks are just looking for an excuse to spit in your coffee. Best to say nothing and tip liberally.

Once you do, you'll never go back. The best thing you can do for your morning coffee is to grind the beans right before you brew them.
You'll even find much better beans out there through independent roasters than Starbucks Italian Roast.
Meade looking to fill the Roger Stone void. He’s better-looking, funnier, and more charming.
Just don’t get a Nixon tattoo
He is Meade
Skeptical Voter: Been there, done that, with Peet's coffees, and have really enjoyed my morning cup ever since. Turns out, its only the caffeine that's addicting, not the Barista attitude. (I hated it most when he/she condescendingly approved my choice.)
I think Trump has a base that will stick with him.
I'm sure the pollsters are brewing up the numbers on that as we type.
I can't vote for someone who corrupts the English language for marketing purposes.
Tall, my ass!
Democrat : Republican :: Coke : Pepsi.
Drink coffee.
Meade, you little instigator you......
Just don’t get a Nixon tattoo
In an unjust society the only tattoo for a just man is one of Richard Nixon.
Skeptical Voter,
There is https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ (also available via Altazon portal)
It makes a great conversation starter with anti-gun friends.
"How's the coffee?"
"It's great. Starbucks?"
Slam signature can on table saying "Boom!"
mccullough: "Meade looking to fill the Roger Stone void. He’s better-looking, funnier, and more charming. Just don’t get a Nixon tattoo"
Meade is Not tanned, heavily tasked and ready!!

Ann's vehicle is snowed in. The intrepid Meade dares to venture forth.
Just don’t get a Nixon tattoo
"A dick on both sides."
Meade orders a coffee to go.
Barista asks if he's married.
Meade replies, "What else? Would my mother send me out on a day like this?"
I hate the taste of Starbucks coffee (over-roasted). If Starbucks tasted like instant coffee then that taste would be expensive. I like coffee, and I have trained myself to like instant and hate Starbucks. I save a ton of money, and more importantly, time. It's all in your head. "Feed your head", but train it to serve you. Don't let it boss you around.
I dare you to go in a Starbucks and order a coffee with a MAGA hat on. That is just asking for a tainted drink.
He's pro abortion.
"I thought you guys were snowed in."
They clear the streets around here. We're prepared for this in The North.
"Were you there for coffee or the men's room? Asking for a friend."
No men's room. $5 for a coffee. (No wonder Howard's a gillionaire!)
Of course the young barista is going to agree with the weird old guy. The boss sees all and knows all. Her agreement was coerced. COERCED, I say.
"Because I hate the Democrats, and I hate the Republicans, so go Howard."
Well, the problem with that idea is that the only way they can both lose is if Howard wins. Which ain't going to happen. Bu I'm pretty sure that the kind of idiots who want Howard for President were never going to vote for Trump. So, Go Howard!
It's kind of funny, watching all these wealthy shit-worms crawl out of the woodwork. They all think that if Trump could do it, so can they. Dream on, maggots.
"We're prepared for this in The North."
...by paying taxes that make a $5 coffee feel like a nickel.
"I dare you to go in a Starbucks and order a coffee with a MAGA hat on. That is just asking for a tainted drink."
Make A Latte Great Again!
"We're prepared for this in The North."
Glad to hear it. I lived for many years on the last street in St Paul to ever get plowed.
"They clear the streets around here. We're prepared for this in The North."
I was watching the Weather Channel some years ago and they were reporting from Milwaukee on an early season snow storm. The on-site weather "talent" wondered aloud how the locals were going to get around between 'now and when the snow melts in the spring.'
"...by paying taxes that make a $5 coffee feel like a nickel."
Just think, we actually pay the city for that big heavy gift at the end of our driveways.
Howard can do what he wants. But if he wins, the Federal government is still chock full of Democrats
What’s the sales tax in Madison? $5 is pricey even for Starbucks.
"The Wisconsin state sales tax rate is currently 5%. The Dane County sales tax rate is 0.5%."
Tax cuts are good. No matter what the n left wing liars say

Meade: “Make A Latte Great Again!”
No...
Make Americano Great Again!
The question is, what specific policies does Schultz propose?
"Make Americano Great Again! "
Perfecto!
Meade is the kind of guy who always ends up with a Grande Latte .
That they spit in.
It’s the douche special.
"But assholes gotta asshole."
A lesson you've taken to heart.
What a cheap date. You could have at least held out for a promise to build a mountain bike track on the White House lawn.

Americanos were never great. How to get dishwater out of an espresso machine.
In New Hampshire, a state with no sales tax and no income tax, except on investment income, they clear the snow almost as fast as it falls, or did when I lived there. Vermont? With an income tax rate that goes up to ten percent, sales taxes, special property taxes for certain affluent towns, etc? They don’t have a “bare roads policy” So basically, because the road in front of my home didn’t get sun, its ice until we got a thaw.
I remember the first snowy day of the “no bare roads policy” and there were fender benders everywhere, I saw two or three ambulances on my way to work. People adjusted eventually. But the first day was a real hoot. Kiind of like the Brit joke about the Irish changing the driving on the left rule in steps, first the cars, next day the trucks.
STARBUCKS: the PEOPLE'S COFFEE
if Schultz gets in, at least the general population will finally be familiar
with the 3 branches of government:
Tall, Venti, & Grande
I thought meade voted Trump because of immigration policy. Does he know Schultz's position?

Trump isn't a Republican. He just ran as one. So Schultz runs, Dems lose, Trump is reelected, Repubs are still not happy.
Meade, and Trump, win.
"Meade, and Trump, win."
Exactly. And I don't know about the rest of you but I know I'm still not tired of all the winning.
"I thought meade voted Trump because of immigration policy. Does he know Schultz's position?"
I did and I do. And I'm willing to give Howard Schultz about 22 months to, you know, evolve.
I heard Howard at the Chicago Economic Club several years ago. As he described his fascination with European coffee houses he discovered on his first trip out of the US as a young man, I turned to the guy next to me and said, “Howard hasn’t been to many of his stores recently.”
Moral: Howard is another Trump.
But I also hate Howard . . .
So, roughly half the country identifies as GOP and half as Democrat. Hating both leaves very few to love.
I will, perhaps, wander into a Starbucks and attempt to order a tall refreshing flagon of their finest meade.
chillblaine's attempt to jump the shark, live on ninja rodeo, next!
He hated it when customers tried to talk politics with baristas, but loved it when Howard told baristas to talk to customers about race.
In my local Starbucks no one talked about race. No one talks about the patriarchy either. And the toilets are blocked off.
Once written, twice...
"When I was young I worked as a barista. I hated it when assholes like Meade would try to talk politics at me. It was almost always old men like Meade who would pull that dick move. I wouldn’t go into your office/place of work and keep you from doing your job with such nonsense. But assholes gotta asshole."
And yet this blog is my "office/place" and you come in here and pull dick moves regularly.
By the way, I sat at the bar and it was the barista who first engaged me in conversation, not the other way around.
