BUT IT WAS STALE AND WARM, CHRIS!

STALE

AND

WARM!

Doctor Hammer's avatar

Christ, drinking warm beer, he might as well be British! Is that what you want?!

SimulationCommander's avatar

We might as well fish all that tea from the harbor and put it back in the boxes!

Michael L's avatar

Funniest thing I've heard all week. Thank you.

Doctor Hammer's avatar

Never mind the boxes, right into our cups and onto our breakfast tables, stamps and all!

Jorn Haga's avatar

Ah the Lipton way.

Mitch's avatar

they say Benedict Arnold liked his beer warm too!

Randy Farnum's avatar

And he probably salutes with the palm of his hand facing you! The bastard.

Toffeepud's avatar

Oi! We like our beer cold and frosty! Cheers 🍻

Jorn Haga's avatar

Compared to American swill? You betcha

Curtis's avatar

LMAO. It was also free!

SimulationCommander's avatar

Hmmm....that complicates things, because free beer is the best type of beer.

Jorn Haga's avatar

To a point Sir. Your host offers you an ice cold Bud Light will you decline? I would and ask if he had any bourbon instead.

Randy Farnum's avatar

Lol, my answer when my kids ask what kind of beer I like 😂

Lois Lassiter's avatar

THE HORROR!!

He committed multiple beer fouls, which should be absolutely exclusionary.....IF he was being picked as a frat boy.....

Lololololololololololol

I have it on good authority that Hitler also liked his Coors Light stale and warm. Let that sink in you MAGA bigots.

James Bernard Shepard's avatar

AHA!! Never mind Sebastian Gorka, Hegseth is the real British spy. He drank stale warm yellow liquid that tasted like British beer. It was an FBI sting.

Indrek Sarapuu's avatar

Happens occasionally.

Still beer, though...

Jorn Haga's avatar

What makes the beer stale and warm? If the beer was opened just that day and after several hours, the beer is not stale. It may be flat, stale no. Warm compared to what and what was the beer? This matters in this case. I'll bet the beer was cool as television studios tend to be fairly chilly. I'll bet the beer qas not ice cold which actually puts off the flavor of beer except for comnercial American beer which as a beer drinker is swill to be nice. What Was drunk was probably resting right around cellar temperature. That's exactly where beer should be drunk. The flavors are enhanced there. Unless you are imbibing commercial American swill. Which would be approximately 50 - 55 degrees Fahrenheit. That's still a little cold for some ales which upwards of 65 degrees Fahrenheit brings out the flavors. So drinking a cool but not ice cold beer is acceptable.

Now if it was a AB or Miller product, well it's bad form to drink any of their products anything but ice cold. That was the nasty flavors of poor quality barley with corn and sugar to mask that then filtered through rice hulls and the FDA allowance of a percentage of rodent excrement in the mash leads to a horrid horrid tasting wort that is fermented. But hey buy muhrican. Your money. I'll be enjoying Old Speckled Hen, Smithwicks, or Samuel Smith as my session beers.

SimulationCommander's avatar

Found the Brit, guys -- get him!

Jeff's avatar

I’m sure if it was a fine Zin DecodingFoxNews and the Dems would not complain.

Pat Robinson's avatar

All beer is good, Sim and Chris. Warm beer is dramatically underappreciated in north america, more flavor. A hint is that the colder it is the less you can taste it, thats the entire point of cheap macro beer, "taste the cold"? really?

Like my favorite sex joke i heard from my wife:

"Did i ever tell you about the worst blowjob i ever had? It was great."

jim's avatar

especially a stout or porter, both taste better warm.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

51 national security experts now say that Pete Hegseth's sobriety has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation.

This is such bullshit. Ive never known a single drunk who could get up at 3 AM, workout, and be on live television for 8 hours starting at 6 AM.

SimulationCommander's avatar

They're trying the same thing against Tulsi now.....

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Trump should tell all these RINO'S he'll strip them of their committee positions (or not appoint them) and raise $100 million to run a non RINO preliminary opponent against them.

You can't loathe RINO'S enough.

THEY are the enemy imo.

MLHVM's avatar

They are 100% the enemy and have been for ages. They are why I changed my registration. I hate the stupid party so much. People voted for Trump. Not for the r*tard R party.

Bandit's avatar

They don't get that. It would mean they would have to admit people don't like their policies and/or them personally.

Randy Farnum's avatar

If the senate rejects a particular nominee Trump should offer up a more distasteful (to them) replacement. He should just keep “how to you like me now?” to them.

Hat Bailey's avatar

man, I'd like to see that!

Bandit's avatar

🙌 Wouldn't that all be awesome, if he did?!

Pnoldguy's avatar

I'm starting to get the same taste in my mouth from republicans as I get with democrats!

It's making a bigger case that we have a uniparty.

Andrea405's avatar

It is quite apparent that opposition mouthpieces make the gullible believe anything. The dumb conversations I am constantly subjected to here on the East coast when I point out these facts. They cannot critically think they are angry over nothing!

Jorn Haga's avatar

Which is partly why as a conservative I rail against the GOP almost as much if not more than democrats.

Mitch's avatar

she drinks warm beer too?! Monsters.

John Geis's avatar

To be an technical AH, it’s 4 hrs on each of Sat and Sun. And as everybody knows, being sober for 4 hrs straight on TV is a sure sign of alcoholism.

Bandit's avatar

I doubt they "work out."

CaliforniaLost's avatar

We, I mean "they", never go to sleep.

nymusicdaily's avatar

anyone who can be be on live television for 8 hours starting anytime deserves all the warm beer he can drink. at least he waited til the commercial. don't know if i could

Jorn Haga's avatar

Your not a Marine Rifleman that's for sure.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Watcha talking about, Willis?

gadflybytes's avatar

We have taken what should have been an assertion that women are of equal importance in society to men and warped it into women are equal to men.

It’s as patently ridiculous as saying men can become women, if they assume a feminine identity.

Men are driven by testosterone to put on muscle mass so they can protect women, most especially when women are pregnant.

Why are women and men denying this?

Clever Pseudonym's avatar

Egalitarianism is the great faith of our age, you cannot have any public role or position without emphatically supporting it, in all circumstances.

Any form of "discrimination", even discriminating bw a 200lb man and a 90lb woman when you're looking to win a fight, is ipso facto the same kind of discrimination that created separate water fountains in the Jim Crow South.

Of course it's stupid, but stupid taboos are stronger because they enforce mass conformity and train people to obey instead of thinking for themselves.

Punitive egalitarianism is modern liberalism's sugar substitute for Christianity—half the meaning but twice as many opportunities for virtue signaling!

Nancy Benedict's avatar

Very well said. Thank you.

Pocahontas, as always, has strong opinions and talks out of her donkey.

Chris Bray's avatar

One day, Elizabeth Warren will be right about something, once. We'll throw a party.

edhuff's avatar

Didn't Old Liz offer us all a beer in one of her self serving commercials?

Josh Passell's avatar

Actually, she said she was “goin’ to git me, um, a beer". No beer for you, peon. She did offer her husband one, but he had the dignity to decline to participate in the pantomime. It was a twist top bottle which she handled with aplomb, either from strangling chickens or skinning bison during her Oklahoma childhood. Or, as I suspect, it had already been loosened by an aide. Had to be Dogfish Head, right?

Jorn Haga's avatar

The only microbrew you need to make a six figure salary to purchase regularly.

SimulationCommander's avatar

If it were going to happen, it would have happened already.

Josh Passell's avatar

Nope, never gonna happen. Blame me, I live in Massachusetts.

Vermont Farm Wife's avatar

I feel your shame. Bernie Sanders is my senator and I feel embarrassed every time he says anything.

Name Invalid's avatar

She was, proudly, 1% correct about having native american heritage. Sadly, it is probably the truest statement she has ever made.

Michael L's avatar

I'll buy the warm beer!

Mark In Houston's avatar

You mean just like

“Joe Biden” was right about something after 50 years of gunmint service?

Hat Bailey's avatar

I think we'll looking at a long wait for that to happen.

The Cactus's avatar

She actually did make some lucid observations in her book The Two-Income Trap, which was actually an early warning about the decline of the middle class. Unfortunately, her preferred solution is always more government regulation, which is what got us here in the first place.

Here’s hoping the party has plenty of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Toffeepud's avatar

Stopped clocks etc.

Nick's avatar

Pocahontas likes Michelob Ultra. Yuck!

Hat Bailey's avatar

Yeah, I always look at criticism from this phony as the highest commendation and recommendation.

Bandit's avatar

That lying thing is a waste of skin.

Michael L's avatar

Hmmmm. Skinwalker. Heap bad medicine.

okboomer's avatar

She's on the warpath.

Maria's avatar

Ok, warm beer, anonymous sources. Jesus. If I had a dollar for every fucking anonymous source. Give me a break. Tell all the silly c**ts to go home and nurse their cats. Guess this has hit a nerve.

Maria's avatar

Oh and after this comment, I guess won’t be running for office 😂

Ryan Gardner's avatar

No. No. No. Just get slobbering drunk, like Pelosi or Que Mala, and go on live TV and say it.

Then maybe pass gas like Swalwell, and everything will go swimmingly for your run for office.

Susan G's avatar

I don't like that word used, but I'll still vote for you.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Lolol.

So..... there's no chance that Hegseths gonna be smuggling cocaine into the white house and needing the president to cover it up?

Jorn Haga's avatar

I would bet that Hunter smuggled a kilo or two into the white house and thats what set things off. A much smaller amount would have probably been overlooked.

Name Invalid's avatar

People familiar With the matter have now confirmed ... the existence of rumors!

Richard A.'s avatar

We need to make fun of these people not brave or selfless enough to join the armed services, BUT "brave"enough to anonymously criticize those who WERE.

Valoree Dowell's avatar

Richard, great point. Follow up statement for those critics, courtesy of Sinclair Lewis "Main Street Has Been Paved!" (1951) "Sure. 'Only.' You birds always have to pull an 'only' or an 'except' when we poor dubs make you come look at facts! Now, do stop trying to be a wise-cracker for about ten seconds and listen to a plain, hard-working , damn successful Regular Guy!" (Dr. Kennicott to Lewis, assigned to do a story on Kennicott's presumptive vote for Coolidge.) There's more but I'll defer.

Matthew's avatar

These people do not care about the sex assault allegations or the beer.

Angus McPherson's avatar

But if Hegseth has assaulted a beer...well...that would be a different matter.

Rather Curmudgeonly's avatar

"It would be a significant failure for Senate Republicans to fail to confirm the man for Secretary of Defense."

Are you accusing Senate Republicans of failing in their duty to seize defeat from the jaws of victory? Have faith, the spineless weasels and Lindsay Graham (who is some other kind of spineless creature) will not fail you!

Jorn Haga's avatar

It's their damn SOP. You know it'll happen.

Curtis's avatar

I've read numerous books by and about Special Forces individuals. To absolutely nobody's surprise except brain-dead politicians, they fight hard, train hard, play hard and often drink hard. It's in their blood. Their intimate relationships often fail due to the high stress and long absences.

What's egregious is that a sober, married, white woman took advantage of a drunk SF soldier and then cried rape when hubby got wind of it. 🤬

Madjack's avatar

Courage is in short supply in the Senate. He may have many flaws (as we all do), but as Lincoln noted about Grant: He fights.

Madeline McCormick's avatar

I listened to Pete on Megyn Kelly today and he totally made me think of Grant.

Name Invalid's avatar

Pearl clutching ist... top ten but I think my favorite of all time was (in attacking Rittenhouse)

He drove across state lines!!!!!

Of course the state line was a mile from his house at a time when antifa people were being bussed in from states like Oregon.

Or get the million or so Americans that cross a state line every day...

But in the minds of my liberal friends who shouted this at me, it was proof of premeditation.

It terrifies me to have to face a jury of those so easily persuaded by the most irrelevant bullshit.

Name Invalid's avatar

"doing your own research" there is another accusation that I cannot forget...

Brian Nelson's avatar

He may just want to recess appoint RFK Jr, Tulsi, Pete, Kash--and then write a little note to each Republican Senator with a photo of their primary rival and Elon to initial over the $100million he's willing to drop to kick them out.

This is total war. I'm pretty sure someone in MAGA knows someone who knows someone who can whisper in these soft Senators' ears about the choice they have about which leg, toes, fingers they can keep.

All the crocodile tears about PTSD when it was the Bush/Cheney war, nothing but contempt when a Veteran actually demonstrates some of the PTSD behaviors. It's gross. It's on script. It's predictable, boring, and tiring.

okboomer's avatar

Primaries are years away. Maybe a 4:00am SWAT team raid with Fox News cameras outside recording it all. What might they find, I wonder? Do unto them as they did to Trump, his family, and his associates.

Brian Nelson's avatar

Good point. They need to be shaken awake immediately.

Josh Passell's avatar

As long as he didn’t drink Bud Light, I’m fine with him. Oh hell, he can drink whatever the funk he wants to; he’s earned that right. He and Kavanaugh can throw back a few together after some long days at the office. And swap “war stories”, as it were.

The Outsider's avatar

Anyone who spent time at the Infantry Bar in Ft. Benning has to be laughing his ass off at the drinking charge. If you were in the Infantry and didn’t drink and raise some hell, you were missing out on an experience. “I am the Infantry, follow me … to the I Bar!”

Chris Bray's avatar

I personally put a friend over my shoulder and carried him out of the bathroom at the bar where he was trying to sleep it off. "YOU CAN'T SLEEP NEXT TO THE URINAL, DUMBASS." And then there was the time Corporal Tucker had a "team-building exercise" at the Lucky Seven....

The Outsider's avatar

When I was at IOBC, one of the other lieutenants in my class threw a smoke grenade into the bar, which brought down the MPs and made it off-limits for us for the remainder of our time in the class.

CaliforniaLost's avatar

Pete would be a shoo-in for the job, if only he had been caught drinking Bud Light.

Name Invalid's avatar

or was chest feeding like pete buttigieg.

He could say he was nursing his beer.

JT's avatar

So the women were telling Lloyd "silver star" Austin to "Stop talking and get to the fight"...? I'll bet no one had to tell Pete to "Stop talking and get to the fight!"

Michael L's avatar

It does conjure up an image of action movie style Kick Ass Women protecting a Percy Dovetonsils who's busy shirking and shrieking.
