I sincerely doubt this has anything to do with the Orange Horror.

Or it may simply be the alt-right doing what they do, much as they railed against Starbuck's simple, red Christmas cup last year... I sincerely doubt this has anything to so with burnt coffee.


On Wednesday, Jorge de Cárdenas filmed a man yelling at a female Starbucks employee in Miami after his drink order was reportedly delayed. In the clip, the man can be heard shouting, “I voted for Trump! Trump! You lost, now give me my money back.” De Cárdenas says the disgruntled customer accused the chain of “white discrimination.”

And on Thursday, a video surfaced purportedly showing a barista at a Delray Beach, Fla. beach Starbucks threatening to call the cops on a customer because he asked for the name “Trump” to be written on his cup.

apparently he's bombed a few other businesses including an Old Navy store. Some of the bombs have been duds, thank goodness. Others, like the Old Navy store bomb, caused small fires that created a lot of smoke and water damage.

This is happening around my part of town. I hope their person of interest is the real squirrel. Bombers we don't need.

who use them to blow up rural mailboxes.

Not too long after 2001, a cache of mining explosives was broken into and enough heavy explosive to do real damage was stolen. They got the guys a week or so later, still in the state and trying to find a buyer, strictly commerce instead of politics.

This is a very weird state. Our bombers aint bright

Two crazies running around blowing shit up and setting fires at one time would be highly unusual. His bombs did cause a couple of decent sized fires, one at Barnes & Noble (bastard!) and the other at Old Navy.
