Not to mention the people who are offended by people being offended by a coffee cup.

I doubt the average conservative gave a rip about how Obama dresses himself. But there were very real scandals that came out of the Obama administration, and average conservatives were, and still are very aware of them. Unlike your fake scandal pertaining to a suit.

Attacking Conservative stereotypes is really all a lot of people on the Left have.

The irony is how ironic it is for a Liberal to have to resort to stereotypes to make their arguments.

Lolz....

McDonald's coffee is better than Starbucks burnt tasting swill.

Dunkin donuts coffee is far superior.


Starbucks is using the Häagen-Dazs business model.

Take a mediocre product and charge a premium price for it, hoping that a certain type of moron will buy into the marketing hype.

And they've been wildly successful, in no small part due to the seemingly endless supply of morons who care more about a trendy name and logo than the quality of their coffee.

Nobody's actually upset but the media uses this for clicks. Don't be sheep.

Libs on the other hand would have trashed the place, rioted, blocked traffic, assaulted people and burned flags.

Yes, who are the real triggered people here? Libs reacting to someone saying the cups are silly. Like they aren't allowed to comment. More control freak B.S. from Progressives who are so insecure because they know they are WRONG about the direction of this country.


So where were there any falsehoods in the Fox story? I can point to many lies, inventions, and false propaganda in CNN, NBC, PBS, NYT, ABC, CBS MSNBC, and the rest.

I'm Conservative and not upset at all what they want to put on their cups.

I actually don't care.

Apparently "Merry Coffee" is offensive because it looks a lot like "Christmas" without actually saying it. Conservatives were outraged in 2015 by the plain red Starbucks cups and again in 2016 by the green "Unity" cups. Do you agree or disagree?
Your link showed 2 tweets. One said the cup design was "silly", the other tweet said "wow". No reference to their political affiliation.

Nobody offended, nobody upset, nobody outraged.

You are really scraping bottom here.

Lol

I put my money where my mouth is. I am a conservative. I do not like Starbuck's left leaning ideology. So I spend my money elsewhere. That is what makes America great. Starbuck's can have their opinions and I can have mine. If you don't like the way Starbuck's expresses themselves then do not spend one penny there. Otherwise do not complain.
