  1. Yeah, it's Politico, and yeah, I'm pretty sure Kamala gets criticism that a man in her position wouldn't have to deal with. But this is the second time she's had a real messy team behind her (there was a long article about problems with her presidential campaign and the results kind of proved it) and it's a legitimate red flag. She should not be the Dem presidential candidate in waiting. Or at the very least, it should not be handed to her at this very moment. I don't have confidence in her organizational or political skills to handle the onslaught coming in 2024 or 2028.
  2. Never go to that hell site, but wasn't that Q thread up for 3-4 years? Wonder what finally made them delete it.
  3. Is the Abraham Bowman Cask Strength available in that area? I'll actually be in DC then Virginia for a week or so in early August.
  4. We are a failed state. Not because the government has lost all control, but because one political party is purposely sabotaging government. Their goal is to lower taxes and just let everything else go to shit. And almost half the country is fully on board with it. It will take at least a generation or two to get things going in a positive direction. The only thing that could speed it up is some catastrophic tragedy that wakes people up. But even a worldwide pandemic couldn't bring people together. We are in the middle of a political civil war that has already lasted 4 decades, and we probably haven't hit the peak of the shitstorm yet.
  5. Becoming very hard to find JJ Bowman on the shelf anywhere these days. Glad I already have a backup.
  6. Sure, there are some people that go overboard on how pro-active people should be to fight against systemic racism. But Republicans taking these broad criticisms so personally and playing the victim is pathetic.
  7. I wish this wasn't so complicated. At the most basic level, it's very important for everyone to acknowledge and accept that systemic racism is all around us. Does that mean you should cancel your country club or sailing club membership? No Does that mean you should personally beat yourself up for benefitting from systemic racism? No. Does that mean it's your personal responsibility to rid your life of any privilege as a result of systemic racism? No. What we can't have is people being adversarial regarding systemic racism. Fighting back against it as some sort of defense mechanism. And that's what we're seeing from the GOP. I swear to fuck, the standard response for all these Republicans who bitch about stuff like this should be "IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU."
  8. The Ellie Kemper "controversy" was stupid.
  9. Wonder how many Congresspeople were part of an "all white" fraternity or sorority in college. Funny that the right is all hot and bothered by this after 4 years of Trump basically living a country club life and Mar-a-Lago becoming a household name. I'm confused. Do Republicans want to ignore systemic racism or just use it as a whataboutism weapon? Make up your mind.
  10. I don't see why Whitehouse needs to be specifically killed for this. Have any Congresspeople been members of a country club? Then they are most likely part of an "all white" club as well.
  11. I will give my Weller 12 to anyone that throws a stick in Abbot's spokes. (sorry, I've had a few tonight)
  12. Funnily enough I got a call from Goody Goody today and “won” the raffle for a 1L Weller 12. So avoiding Specs’s midtown is working out just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Since I've started buying a lot of whiskey, I haven't stepped foot inside the Smith St. location once. I know they have the best drops, but I just don't want to participate in that feeding frenzy. Ever.
  14. Still convinced that the Biden administration should have made marijuana legalization a priority. It's a slam dunk victory without any real pushback from the GOP. Show people that common sense change is good and effective, then more voters will eventually get on board with more change.
  15. That's the quandary. If Dems or the left fight back with similar disingenuous bullshit to get what they want, I don't know how you put the craziness back in the box.
  16. I know a doctor in her 70s that has been a milquetoast conservative her entire life. She now gets NewsMax alerts on her cell phone. There isn't a place in the world anymore for rational Republican voters. They are told the fights they need to fight. CRT is the newest addition.
  17. Number 4 doesn't exist anymore. Or if it does, it's a minuscule and irrelevant amount of people.
  18. My parents came over for Father's Day lunch yesterday, and my mom informed me that Raisi - 20 years old at the time - was the prosecutor that ordered the execution of my grandfather in 1981. 40 fucking years later and the dude is President of Iran . Unbelievable.
  19. Also prepare for the first OF Barrel Strength Rye drop to be EXTREMELY limited. Like, don't bother even chasing it. If I had to guess, they will do the real release with ability to actually find it in the Fall/Winter.
  20. I'd bet good money it's a teaser release.
  21. Lux Row bottles have been hitting a lot of Total Wines in Houston this week. If you like Old Ezra 7 or Rebel Yell 10 year Single Barrel, you very well might find one this week at Total Wine. I doubt availability will last. I got super lucky and picked up a Blood Oath Pact 7 (also Lux Row) at TW earlier today.
