President Trump hinted Tuesday at a rally in Mississippi that Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., could have a drinking habit.

The president told the crowd that they should do an online search for “Patrick Leahy dash drink.”

.
“‘How dare you have a beer when you’re in high school?’” Trump said in a mocking tone toward the Democrats who questioned Kavanaugh.

I have never thought people that don’t drink were abnormal. I have known many in my life, all were/are great people. My mother very rarely drank...once in a great while she would be in the mood to drink...I remember 3 or 4 times, there may have been more but it was a rare event.

People who don’t drink at all are not “abnormal” any more than every person that drinks is a trouble making alcoholic.

There is a whole range of drinking habits from teetotalers all the way to train wreck drinkers.

The taste is just not good for some, others have other reasons they just don’t. I cannot stand the taste of beer; if it was the only alcoholic drink out there I would for sure abstain completely.

Trump keeps eluding to what Cory Booker has admitted to doing, he should just come right out and say what Book admits to. Naturally, Booker is allowed to pretty much get away with everything he says and does, it’s all part of Black Privilege.

I don’t quite agree. By hinting at it and sending people to the book, people can read it in Booker’s own words. If Trump came out and said it they could just say “he’s lying” and move on.

Oh there was so much more...and things were told that are not even mentioned in the article I found. The key is dims are given a pass. It is always about what fits their agenda, dims do not care about any of the groups they champion. They merely use them to further their agenda when it suits them.

Quote from the article:
“It’s a great question,” says Gloria Feldt, former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Feldt worked with Kennedy and is an admirer, still. “He worked with women’s groups in a very respectful way, in a way that few other senators do,” she says. “But I don’t know that you can reconcile it — when it’s in a group’s best interest that said person stays in that chair, how do you weigh that moral equation? I wish it were simpler than that.”

Sounds promising for special occasions and company. I will try to find some.

It is a Czech beer and comes from the world’s oldest working brewery.

Oddly enough Tecate, a Mexican beer, is one of my favorites with food. It is cheaper than Pilsner-Urquell.

I pay 9 bucks for a 12 pack but you won’t find it at that price since Chicago has the lowest booze prices in the country.

P-U is about 14/12.

I’ve done that. One time, there were still bits of barley left in the bottle.

ut of love and respect for them, our wedding was dry.

GOOD ON YOU !!!

I'm 56 and I rarely have anything with alcohol in it. A beer is like a Coke. Just something different. I bought a six-pack of Labatt's Blue sometime around the 4th of July. There's still a couple of them left.

I miss Lincoln Liquors on 53rd. I used to get six-packs of Tuborg for $1.79, Once I made the mistake of buying a clearance there, "Koch's Holiday Beer". I bought it in July for 99 cents a six pack (1985). I found out why it was called "Holiday Beer", it was very nasty seven months later.

Yeah, a lot of these old joints have gone. I think I remember getting Ballantines ale for 0.99 at Vogts over on Van Buren.

Sam’s is a big operation now and gone from Halsted.

I heard the Parthenon closed. Halsted will never be the same.
