Disney/ABC Should Merge with Starbucks and the NFL
American Thinker ^ | June 3, 2018 | Clarice Feldman

Disney/ABC, Starbucks, and the NFL should merge, as they are this week’s prime example of how to drive away customers while engaged in absurd CEO virtue signaling.

ABC/Disney

I never watch television. Its news is a waste of time, with well-groomed, overpaid readers and hokey camera coverage that takes an hour to cover what 10 minutes of a well-written article can better convey. Take the news coverage itself: The EU is falling apart, the talks with North Korea are on and it looks like war will be averted and another country denuclearized, and the Mueller investigation seems more ridiculous than ever. The economy looks so strong that even the NYT’s Neil Irwin conceded words were almost inadequate to describe an economy so strong that it was adding 223,000 jobs in a month, an unemployment rate falling to 3.8 percent, an 18-year low. Contrast this with what this week’s news has been emphasizing.

Compare all the coverage of the royal wedding in Britain with the far more important story that a reporter was secretly jailed for 18 months because he was standing outside a UK courtroom describing the trial of what is euphemistically called men who “groomed” young girls, when the actual description is Muslim men raping and sex trafficking young girls under the averted eyes of the state apparatus tasked with protecting them .

The primary issue is that for years the British state allowed gangs of men to rape thousands of young girls across Britain. For years the police, politicians, Crown Prosecution Service, and every other arm of the state ostensibly dedicated to protecting these girls failed them...

The lyrics from Billy Joel’s Good Night Saigon come to mind.

When I used to go years ago, I would say “large” and she’d say “Venti”, and I’d say “Is that large?” and she’d say “Yes.” So, I would say “Yes, a large.”.

Question (a bit off topic): The number of kids being groomed in the UK seems to be very large which implies there is a very large customer base.

So who are the customers and why does the UK court want to protect them?

For all intensive purposes they have.

ESPN is 100% on board with the NFL pulling their fat from the SJW fire and constantly defending them and calling anyone that disagrees with them racists who hate the Constitution.

There are Starbucks in every Orlando Disney park and, unless I am mistaken, they are the only outside chain with a presence on Disney property. That was one of the things I noticed when I went Easter week this year.

They are all sticking together like glue and it’s no accident.

Other than the liberals in the UK insisting on accepting Islam and sharia law I haven’t the slightest idea, in my view it’s criminal and will be fatal if they don’t turn it around soon.

...Disney/ABC Should Merge with Starbucks and the NFL...

Why not add Disney/ABC owner, Time/Warner, which also owns TBS, who condones Samantha Bee’s calling Ivanka the “C” word?
Time/Warner should just buy Starbucks and the NFL.

“For all intensive purposes they have.”

Did you just actually write that?

On purpose?

And don’t leave out the MLB with their “rainbow’ baseball caps “honoring” the queers.

“Its news is a waste of time...”

It’s far worse than a waste of time. It’s pure propaganda meant to warp and poison your mind.

Avoid it like the plague!

Never watch television. Clarice and I share something in common. How ‘bout that.
