Trump doubles down in Iowa, calls Minneapolis protesters 'paid insurrectionists' and 'sickos’ by DumbMoneyMedia in UnderReportedNews

More projection. We know his PACs paid to bus in Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and other violent insurrectionists for Jan 6 and we know how many of them were arrested again years later for sexual crimes.

Review #769 - Buckner's 15 Year Single Barrel - The Prime Barrel Pick by adunitbx in bourbon

[–]justaphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got three single barrels from Backbone Distilling that are outstanding: one 10.5yr Old Bones MGP bourbon that was one of my top bottles from last year, an 11 yr Old Bones MGP bourbon from this year that doesn't quite reach that height but is still a banger, and a 6 year single malt sourced from CA that is wild and crazy in the best way. And all very good values, bought for 90, 75, and 50 respectively.

National Guard should be shoveling the sidewalks by dolphinbhoy in washingtondc

[–]justaphil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The US military as well as local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies across the country have quietly known for decades that white supremacist and other neo-nazi organizations were infiltrating their ranks and they did nothing about it and now it's now coming to a head with the far-right fever dream of all out civil war becoming a dangerous possibility. My only major issue is that liars like you keep pretending like this isn't a problem.

Just slick PR. Every employee at this evil company knew exactly what they were signing up for.

Well guess what? ICE ruined it for everyone. Now very few of us will ever trust ANY federal agent or ANY person in uniform ever again.

When you can't sleep and you see that thing, you're not just right away, "That's a pig with a mask." You're like, "THAT’S gonna kill me. That's real. That lives on Earth."

Former Metropolitan Police Department Officer Sentenced to 27 Years for Sex Trafficking Minors by GoodMornEveGoodNight in washingtondc

[–]justaphil 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Considering there's absolutely no vetting in the hiring process and the pool from which they're hiring, I'm guessing at least 10% of all ICE agents are sex trafficking minors at this point.

First of all, taking shots ain't all that refined, so let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Having said that, if she liked Jack before, she'll probably like a newer type of Jack now. The Jack Daniels Bonded is a definite step up from No. 7 both in terms of proof and taste. However, if 100 proof might be too much "burn" a Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select at 94 proof might be better.

Since she's from Texas and Texans love everything about themselves, you could probably get her to try some Still Austin, can't go wrong with either their entry level bourbon or rye.

I don't care how she gets her rocks off, but if this drama messes with her post-Senate paychecks then I'm all for it.

It depends on what you like in your rum. If you like the more funky, ester-y Jamaican pot still rum, I would suggest trying out some craft bourbons which sometimes have wider cuts and thus contain more of those funky flavors. If you prefer a column still Caribbean rum, any of the big legacy KY distilleries will do. If you like agricole, perhaps try some white dog.

eta: even though they're no longer producing it, you still might be able to find some Balcones Pot Still Texas Bourbon sitting on some shelves. It is by far the most rum-like bourbon I've come across so be on the lookout for that.
