Trade war with Canada has contributed to a significant decline in U.S. liquor sales

Jim Beam, owned by Suntory Global Spirits, is one of Kentucky’s biggest bourbon producers.

Kentucky went for tRump by 64.47%. Guess they’re getting what they voted for.

    Or you could say 37% of Kentucky voted for Trump, and this small town of 478 people will likely all be forced to move and sell their homes for pennies on the dollar, to someone who will sell them back to others in a year at full price with insider information on whether they will actually reopen and offer jobs.

    Else the town is dead and everyone suffers and we are celebrating people being fucked over while we think we are better than them for what? Because we are just shit people as well

      We celebrate them being fucked over because they are evil. We celebrate them being fucked over because they are suffering the consequences of what they want to and are foisting on others. We are celebrating because we are miserable, but at least they’re getting it too, if not worse. We may have to eat a shit sandwich because of how much they wanted to inflict evil upon the vulnerable and minorities, but at least they’re in the pot boiling with us. Basically, crab mentality. If we’re lucky, maybe they’ll die off first and in a greater percentage.

        The fact that you can think that, and not acknowledge that there is any possibility that you are a shit person, guarentees you are the shit person you have described. You don’t care about the people, you want to kill, demean, punch down at those you think are less than you. You are a perfect candidate for the GOP. That which you say you hate, you are representing.

          punch down at those you think are less than you

          It isn’t punching down. It’s using force to defend others. They are punching down. They are using systemic power to punch down. I advocate defending others. ICE is the prime example, and I really hope they start suffering harsher consequences of their evil.

          It’s not a matter of me thinking these people are less than me or others like me. They are lesser. It’s not a matter of opinion. They aren’t human, but they’re the same group.

      Trump’s only platform was hate, plain and simple. Queer people, immigrants, Muslims, black people, Latinos, disabled folks… There really was no other impetus. We saw him fuck everything up the first time and his fans still needed to ensure that someone else “got theirs.”

      They voted for it and we are all suffering the consequences. Your horse is a bit too high.
