The damage that Kavanaugh has done to the Court he supposedly reveres will be lasting and maybe irreparable -- if he gets confirmed. Clarance Thomas has already done that. Disagree old friend and distiller. Thomas was truculent and angry and said the famous phrase. But I don't think he called up th...

Clarance Thomas has already done that.

The Dr was extremely credible, IMO. Regardless if she can't name a time, date and place. Lindsay Graham is rightfully upset because Feinstein did use her as a pawn and kept her complaint in the dark to pull a last minute "gotcha" when she could have brought the issue to light earlier,befo...

If you are truly afraid to fly, you don't. Ever. John Madden was famous for never flying. Hating it, is another story. People with real fears simply don't fly. Yours truly is afraid of flying. I know far too much about the fabrication of pressurized cylinders coupled with the carelessness of mechan...

Do you think Dems and Republicans in Congress are learning the lesson that this path you describe isn't working?

Yeah, me neither.

Curious, why is Scotch much more pricey as compared to Bourbon. Is it because it takes longer than bourbon to get to the sweet spot for bottling? and because it takes longer, more of the product has evaporated? I think it is because "they can". Although there are some ridiculously expensi...

question for afan - are there any merits (or the opposite) to a 100% corn based bourbon? From the perspective of grain recipes, corn contributes sweetness. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, as you know. If it's 100% corn, the distiller is trying to give you a very, very sweet Bourbon. Rye, when us...

He was clearly very upset. My take is that was because he sees the nomination going south. It's indeed rare that we get this kind of political karma come back to bite politicians. The Dems first tasted this by removing the filibuster.....and then watching Obama not get his SCOTUS pick. Now it's the...

Reconsider what VDH said above, in light of what Trump told the World at the UN : ...the mirage blew away on September 11, 2001, with terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, followed by messy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the spread of radical Islamic terrorism, the...

Never be a snob of scotch, whiskey, bourbon, etc....just enjoy each each sip and you will find your way just fine. Where's the damn clapping emoji? YA and thatsmell have it figured out. Nothing's worse than sucking all the fun out of enjoying beer/wine/spirits. The fun part is finding out what you ...

Going to Scotland next spring on a week long golf excursion. Need to be educated about Scotch. Anyone?? .. Do you mean you want to be educated before the trip? Or during? I can help with both. If it's before, I need to know where you live so I can suggest where to go and who to talk to. If it's dur...

On this one, I think we'd all LOVE it if somehow the tax cuts actually proved to reduce the deficit rather than explode it. But the "these things take time" sadly appears to be way, way over on side of "explode" as the highest probability outcome. And this was truly obvious from...

You should know what I'm going to say Mr. Instant Gratification, these things take time...I'm still optimistic I'm a whiskey distiller! I HAVE to be patient. :lol: Deficit is up by 30% over last fiscal year, my friend. And that was BEFORE the consequences of Trump's new $700 Billion spending bill. ...

:lol: So now Trump isn't responsible for his appointments. I wish I had known this is how you view accountability when Obama was in charge. Every complaint you levied would have been countered with: "well, Obama didn't really make that decision, now did he? So he's in the clear" ;) BTW, ho...

Awww. No Truths from Trump today, Bandito? How will you know what to do today, comrade? My advice is to stay home lock your doors, and await instructions from our Government Leader.

Oh, Bandito, you're letting Trump down. Why are you talking about the evil Democrats, when you can instead spread the truth that is Government Leader Trump? What truth does Trump bring us today, Bandito? And have you sold your belongings to give the proceeds to Trump yet? Can't wait to hear what Lea...

:lol: No, not a Bible. His book is yet another corroboration that what the Deep State is, is actually Trump's handpicked people trying to keep Trump from burning the House down. Right now, Rod Rosenstein is in a precarious position. Why?...because something he said about wearing a wire to collect e...

You just griped about the Obama economy....only "mullahs and chicoms" were happy with Obama's economyy. I responded. Not really fair to pull the rug out from me and say you didn't mean it...and then give me grief for my response.

Be kind. I'm sensitive and break easily.

Tech37, remember when I said that conservatives would have put Obama on Mt. Rushmore if he only had a little R by his name, and you made fun of me? Your comment about Obama's economy perfectly demonstrates why I was right. Mullah's and Chicoms? Obama's R Congress wouldn't let him spend money to get ...

Bandito! So glad you're here to tell us what to do and think!

What orders do you bring from Government Leader Trump? Have you sold all your possessions to the State yet?

If not, I don't think you're doing enough to support our Government leader.

Let me know.
