You havne’t been paying attention to the rhetoric coming out of SB these days, have you?
Well, this should work out swell.
Our ex-military working side by side with the Syrian refugees (ex-al Qaeda).
Whew.
The vets Shariabucks plan to hire all wear pussy hats.
The word “refugee” implies somebody taking refuge. Sadly the word has been conflated to include oppressors and invaders—turning hearts cold and people from compassionate nations into heated divisions.
As long as they are LBGTUVWXYZ
Won’t that clash with their illegal/refugee hiring plan?
Do they plan to sell tickets?
I thought they were hiring refugees. I bet they are lying about hiring vets.
Boeing is running commercials praising Vets as employees.
Suddenly, it’s cool to support them.
(And eff Starbucks...too little, too late)
They have one of those burnt bean s#@t shacks at my local VA hospital.
I hate it and I tell anyone that will listen what I think of them.
Hahahahahahahahaha. Starbucks crapped the bed, now they want to clean it up. It’s stained baby. Throw it away.
I hear that in connection with hiring vets they are introducing a new, six-shot cappuccino called “Napalm in the Morning” ...
No, they’re not lying. Just not telling the whole truth. They’re ISIS/Taliban/Al Queda vets.
....you are right...this is to stop the bleeding. They took one in the are and now what better way to recoup and regroup....use the VETS...
Boycott starbucks. Still don’t trust these libtards.
