Bourbon
the cowboy won bourbon of the year by whiskey bible or bourbon bible or something like that. it's over-priced, there is no argument there.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
you just discovered their entire game plan. the trumpster, along with every senator and representative will be instructed to say socialism at least 10 times during every campaign speech. and don't forget to mention how socialist your opponent is.

Bourbon
garrison brothers is 4-6. and you're judgement that it takes 6-10 years "to make it smooth and complex" is based on Kentucky climate. I think it's possible. is still the one that tops off their barrels? to me that's a bold move, common in brandy but unheard of (and frowned upon) in bourbon. that contributes to part of the youth you're tasting.

The Retail Bloodbath
it was one particular industry, cant remember which one or what I was reading at the time. with those kinds of margins, you'd think it would be energy or healthcare related.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
what exactly is bullshit about it? congratulations on your high moral values, but it's pretty much an undeniable, indisputable fact that well off people don't normally rob banks or shoplift. the less financially stressed a border patrol agent is, the less likely he is to take a bribe to let a carload of drugs drive through. aoc is also the one that came up with the idea of using taxpayer dollars to fund elections. sounds stupid and excessive at first (for a country that's deep in debt and doesn't have enough tax dollars to begin with), but at second thought would keep lobbyist and pacs and corruption out of our politicians. when exxon gives you a million dollars you're somewhat beholden to them.

Bourbon
are you guys trying to convince me to go out and get those two barrel bourbons? I've got 44, 27 unopened. and I thought I had too many.

but probably not from the mini bar. lesson #1: stay away from the mini bar.

Bourbon
I haven't been too pleased with the barrel offerings, but two of their recent ones - infinite and dovetail, are outstanding. I haven't bought either but have tried them both and probably will buy when my collection dwindles down some. I got too many bottles at the moment.

Things seem to be going quite well for Joe Biden
I agree wholeheartedly. if you're a dem, support the dem. his policies will be better than trump's. you can call him trump lite all you want, but 4 years of trump lite is better than trump xxx.

I saw a stat the other day that I thought was telling of current society: profits up 70%, cost of living up 8%, wages up 3%.

Billions
I don't get her character either. she doesn't seem like much of a dominatrix in her real life, so that seems like a conflict. plus, the idea that she would be that well paid, liked, and sought after, as a personal/career coach is not believable. another thing that's not believable to me is to think axe would just bring taylor back in and not suspect something is up. what a dumb idea. he's crushed every other enemy and he's going to give her work space and pay her utilities and agree to hire her whole team? makes no sense and should glow neonly obvious to him. i'm wondering if, now that Rebecca is out of the picture, he and wendy don't end up shacked up together and a couple. that would humiliate chuck and really get his ire up.

chuck shit the bed on his marriage, over and over again. axe is a douche. he needs to go down in a big way.

Bourbon
open bottles scare me off, unless its such a good deal that even if it's fake or bad, it would still be worth it. i'd love to have a bottle of parker heritage, or hell even try a sip.

Bourbon
that's a helluva price. 6 of the rarest, most sought after bourbons out there for $70? i'd jump all over that. I've paid $125 for the 5 btacs, and another $125 for the five pappy's. there was some other shit that came with that, but still.

love that bottle. where'd ya get it?

Cuban Cigars
agree with the op, Cuban cigars do live up to the hype. not many things do. Cubans are the absolute best cigars made. I don't agree with you about Kentucky bourbon, but do agree with you about this. get them whenever you travel overseas. I had a scuba diving friend that brought them back every time he went to the Caribbean, so was well stocked in them for a decade or more. I lost that connection but always have a couple in my humidor.

Beto 2020
it should be his race to lose. he has the youth, the height, the energy, the ideas, the principles, the looks to be a great leader and our next president. i'm baffled as to why he's not running stronger. it is a little concerning and makes me wonder if he shouldn't have run against cornyn instead. i'm hoping he rises to the top. I do not agree however on the issue of impeachment and am with Pelosi on this one. that needs to be downplayed and ignored as a nonissue. we are on the verge of converting some repubs, its happening daily I believe. they are realizing he's a liar, trampling on the constitution, has no rule of law, and is endangering all our lives and our livelihoods. why impeach when if we do our jobs right he will be out of office in a year and a half? impeachment talk will reduce the flow of gop voters that are on the fence on whether this guy is a good president or not in their eyes. they might not like him as a president but that doesn't mean they want to see him criminalized. what we should be talking about instead is what good congress can do, productive acts, not destructive acts like impeachment. we should and will spend our time on immigration reform, healthcare reform, infrastructure, repairing our relationships with the rest of the world, etc. talk about hopefulness, not negativity.

Bourbon
I bought my first bottle of four roses small batch select tonight. quite impressed. it's no Blanton's, but probably worth the $53. I also picked up a bottle of 8 buck. cost me about the same price and they seem to be ndp. not sure what to make of it yet, but tasting it side by side with the four roses, my first impression is that it's $25 overpriced.
