Conservatives are posting videos of themselves smashing their Keurig coffee makers (tr)

Keurig's decision to pull its advertising from Sean Hannity's Fox News show is not going over well with some viewers.

Social-media users on Sunday posted videos of themselves smashing their Keurig coffee makers, two days after the company said it would no longer advertise during Hannity's show.

Keurig and other companies faced pressure to pull their ads following Hannity's interview with Roy Moore, the Senate candidate in Alabama who is facing allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl and pursued several teenagers while he was in his 30s.

Critics of the interview said Hannity went too easy on Moore. By Saturday, several companies — including Keurig, 23andMe, and E-Trade — announced they would pull their ads.

Ha! Cute. But liberals post all kinds of exciting sex selfie videos. Much more entertaining than just some old right wing nut smashing his communist Chinese coffee machine. ( just having a little fun, no flames 🔥 please. Thanks!(

Why damage your own property? Sell the things and refuse to buy k-cups anymore.

And Keurig's logic is bizarre - Hannity did not take it easy on Moore, and asked him some tough questions. Why seek to punish Hannity for doing his job as a newsman? Would Keurig prefer that people accused of misdeeds not be subject to any questions?

I disagree.

Keurig’s business model is based on the continued purchase of their overpriced K-Cups. No machine, no K-Cups, no long-term business. They care, a lot.

It's not the maker, it's replacing the K-cups where the money is.

I have a Keurig, but I grind my own beans in an after-market reusable k-cup, so Keurig doesn't get anything from me for coffee. I bought the machine years ago.

Keurig, because making a single cup of coffee is nearly impossible...

If someone feels so inclined...thrift stores have plenty of Keurig's(mixed in with the bread makers, other herd products)for pennies on the dollar.

...the latest fading fad I guess.

Running scalding hot water through Chinese plastic...mmm, mmm, good!

My husband used the funnel until we received the Keurig. The funnel is easy, but coffe pods are just so convenient. Plus, we are s-l-o-w-l-y remodeling the kitchen and dining room so the Keurig is now in his office. There’s no way he’d give it up now.

“ you already paid for it, smashing it seems to be cutting off your nose to spite your face. Not buying one. and urging others to follow suit is much more appropriate.”

Somethings you do just because it feels good. And Wright. Ann is a good way to release tension.

Since Business Insider started demanding I turn off my Ad Blocker, I stopped looking at anything on Business Insider.

It used to be a decent site but anymore is just clickbait crap. Probably belongs on the banned list.

That’s about the size mine is.

Once in a while, I quit cold turkey and enjoy a headache for a day or two.

I miss Trader Joe’s. We escaped Mexifornia and are very happy. But there are a few things back there that I wish we had here. But not any of the illegals!

nothing beats a old percolator with the glass bulb on top. You have to strain the last cup though.

I thought about Chemex, but went with the Hario pour over coffee dripper:

It does essentially the same thing. Use the Hario ceramic coffee mill. Takes about 350 turns to make one cup of coffee. Someday I'll go electric!

Some days I'm lazy and just go with the Keurig. Other days I take the time to grind and pour.
