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

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.

Happens occasionally.

Still beer, though...

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.

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

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."

especially a stout or porter, both taste better warm.

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.

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

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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.

man, I'd like to see that!

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.

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!

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

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?

Expand full comment

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!

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

Expand full comment

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. 🤬

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.

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.

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.

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!”

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....
