War Room Lounge v159: Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts

interesting thread



Also it doesn't look like Biden is getting much of a convention bump but his lead is already large and has been unusually stable.

It will be interesting to see what kind of bump (if any) Trump gets next week.

I'm mentally adding something like 6 points to Trump's end because of the way the EC works, the inertial incumbent advantage, and knowns/unknowns in right wing election rigging (like the Post Office scandal and lawsuits over ballots). So I see it as really close even though Biden is consistently up by what appears to be a lot. We could be pushing a 5 million popular vote win with an electoral loss this time.

I also don't think this convention matters very much. The lawsuits and legal organizing matter most.

Trump literally cannot do any worse. Remaining voters must be incapable of feeling pain.

Any improvement in economic data will give him a push.

Last night I got stuck on the word "cursorily" while searching for the right way to describe taking a quick look at something but not to get into detail. So I told somebody to check something "cursorily." I apologized. Was good for a laugh I guess. Yeesh.

I know the helter skelter fantasy boys are hard as a diamond about this, but escalating the violence is a bad idea.

I'm pretty sure at one point I saw an article months ago that for the Democratic nominee to ensure an EC victory they would have to win the popular vote buy ~4.5%

The whole thing of pretending not to condone violence but straining through their jeans about a race war is yucky.

Which is why it makes no sense that he isn't pressuring the GOP Senate to negotiate with the House Dems for another stimulus package. It's very obvious he isn't a physical hawk, he doesn't care about debt.

Enhanced UI is done which will hurt consumer spending, state and localities have no money and there are a lot more unemployed than job openings.

I just looked up the killer. Holy fucking pig in the making. He's a lifelong cop groupie who was filmed earlier in the night saying he was ready to kill to protect property. Also, cops are on video chumming around with him. The pigs are literally enabling teenagers to take up arms and kill in defense of property.

It's almost like there is some kind of double standard.

That's what a culture hero looks like today.

I have no sympathy for some putz going in with a rifle to start more shit on top of the rest of the shit that's already happening.

This is the hottest take so far. Dunkin's food items suck. ESPECIALLY, their Boston Cream. It's my favorite donut but at Dunkin it's always dry and with not nearly enough filling.

Have you ever had a Starbucks breakfast sandwich? Yuck.

@Sara I think @Lead is putting out feelers.

@weed welcome back bud. Haven't seen you in a minute.

Those are actually the one things from Starbucks I really like. Their cibatta ones that have the gouda cheese and bacon.

Total PoS.

We talking taste ot texture?

Manure or medical use?

The bacon, egg, & gouda sandwich is great. I'd take it over any fast food breakfast sandwich out there.

I've never seen one where the guy is living with his fucking parents, but the "advertising for a young female roommate" bit is really common. There were a couple creepers around my college town who advertised that. I've never seen one do it who is so openly bigoted, though.
