Beer has *always* been political. If you don't see that, it's probably because the politics was designed around your comfort.
Dave just helps us make sense of that reality.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

And it was Mitch McConnell who made it possible by letting Trump off the hook on impeachment, and Kevin McCarthy who proactively brought Trump back into the GOP fold.

By essentially redacting most photos but Epstein and Bill Clinton, the DOJ is further undermining any pretense that the agency is anything other than a Trump goon squad. And for what, bc this ploy is not going to pass muster with victims.

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.
Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!
Sorta seems like a problem.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Imagine under a Bernie Sanders admin, Congressional Rs and Ds agreed to give a 5% increase to DOD in exchange for big boosts to housing and nutrition.
And then Bernie decided to just illegally ignore it and actually cut defense 10%.
That’s what Trump is doing. How can you make a deal under that?

Two senior Republican appropriators agree it doesn't make any sense for Democrats to agree to a government funding deal unless Trump actually adheres to the deal.
The Democratic alternative CR had language that would address this, but the White House came out strongly against.
