Hey, I love my state. You can't just leave it to the whims of these schizophrenic fuck-knuckles.

Nah. Make it look like the call is coming from inside the house.

"Typical hysterical woman. Leave running the country to men, sweetie."

No one is genuinely authentic. Maybe a few people who are incapable of doing otherwise due to issues.

Sometimes I'm not even authentic to myself. I can be different people from one day to the next. Generally it's an attempt to be better followed by reversion to mean, but sometimes not.

"Oh, honey, new plague just dropped. Epidemics starting early this year."

Historic failure? I think domestically he has been an excellent President. Probably better than Obama. We got really lucky or he did a good job with inflation and the soft landing.

We had much lower inflation than most nations. Gaza left a nasty stain, but that was a small part of what he did as President.

Time for those 2A proponents to step up.... oh.

No, I think your message is spot on. We'll weather Trump, if a bit worse for the wear. We survived a literal civil war, we'll survive him.

I've never really had Irish whisky besides Jameson which I think was decent but I haven't had enough to make a recommendation. Not much if any Canadian.

The whiskies I mix the most are maker's mark (by far), Costco blended scotch (it's decent enough to mix and cheap. Not a recommendation by any means but it goes well enough with Coke Zero) and Elijah Craig. Rye isn't my fav, but Sazerac and Diet Coke is pretty good.

Now I'm a little higher end with whisky. There's nothing wrong with Jim Beam or Jack Daniel's or Johnny Walker as mixers, but I don't buy them. Gentlemen Jack is decent for sipping but tbh I haven't had any since I started really getting into whisky so idk how it would hold up in my estimation today.

Best whisky I've had for cider is a Traverse City apple whisky. You can make do with fireball if you really like the cinnamon, but make no mistake that shit is awful.

I've not had a Godfather, so no particular recommendations there, but Basil Hayden makes a decent Old Fashioned. As does Maker's Mark. Maker's Mark is a really good all arounder if you were only going to buy one thing. It's not my favorite, but it goes well in cocktails and with soda.

But I can't recommend BH Red Wine Cask enough for a sipping whisky (think I said sherry cask earlier but I was remembering it wrong). Surprisingly smooth for the price point (it's not cheap, but it's not 18yr Macallan expensive).

Whisky is so broad I don't know how to make a single recommendation.

You've got a bunch of different varieties. You've got scotch, peated and unpeated, bourbon, rye, Canadian whisky, Irish whisky, there are whiskies from around the world.

You want bourbon recommendations? Basil Hayden is good to drink neat. I particularly like Basil Hayden Sherry Cask for sipping. Blanton's. Woodford Reserve. Eagle Rare. Four Roses. My wife likes Maker's Mark and I agree it's pretty good although that's a mixing whisky to me, as is Elijah Craig. Buffalo Trace is highly regarded. Old Forrester is good but that's for mixed drinks to me.

Scotch? Any Glen is decent. Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie are all good. They are all pretty strong vanilla flavor compared to bourbon, but especially Glenlivet. I like Glenfiddich for drinking neat. Macallan is good. I'm not a fan of peated scotch, but I think Ardbeg and Lagavulin are both highly recommended.

Rye? I'm not a huge rye fan although I do like Basil Hayden rye. Sazerac and Whistlepig are both really good and probably much more highly regarded than BH.

I don't know much about Japanese whisky but my experience is that Yamazaki is good all around.

I'm afraid I have no recommendations for non-whisky as I'm mainly a whisky and a bit of vodka drinker.

You aren't looking for vodka, but for anyone else Costco red label is 100% the best bang for your buck. It's a great vodka and pretty cheap. Stolichnaya and Tito's are both good. A lot of people like Grey Goose but it's not in my top picks. But Costco is my favorite if costs were no object and it's the cheapest to boot. The blue label Costco vodka is $5 cheaper, but meh. I don't recommend other than it's a good value.

I don't believe you. She just went into seclusion to enjoy the rest of her well-earned immortality.

Rules are rules...

This for sure. My mental health was so awful during Trump's first term. I spent 4 years just... breathing. Barely able to focus on work or family because I felt there were just bigger issues to worry about. I've pulled way back from social media in general and I feel healthier for it.

I'm always going to help people at a local level. I'm always going to be a safe place or safe ear for the few folks it's actually in my power to help. But I can't take on the rest. This is what the American people on average want, and it is clear to me that until they get their blood, they won't be satisfied.

I'll see you fuckers in 4 years to try to elect someone who can fix... whatever is left.

Based on your description, I'd doubt any surveillance so far rises above going through any of your socials they can find. AFAIK, that sort of thing is generally for someone who has really pissed them off. Like if you were to become outspoken about them.

I'd probably just keep the whole affair (pun intended) at arms length and let it blow over. Chances are this will be an amusing anecdote in a few years.
