while I dont normal compare sizes, I have drank a few so....RallyWagon,
Only Budweiser I touch is Czech one.
Today I've been having swedish Sju Komma Twåan. Name is also alcohol volume of it (7.2%).
7th going on.
Dirty bastard is 8.5, the other beer i was drinking, Backwoods Bastard, while playing D&D this fine evening was 11%. I have a DB left. So, 5 of those and 4 Backwoods... and let's not skimp past the herb I puffed on as well. I do so like catching a solid buzz when in the right company.
High gravity? I couldnt much stand malt liquors, but I had a friend that was never far from a 40 of st ives.

Oh...right.
To again quote one great person...forum ages might revert back so maybe I taunt like 14 year old too.
But seriously, I'm old enough to not be very eager on this so called social media so I haven't talked much here, maybe not in future either if I have not much to say or I get banned by profanities I use...

english is not my 1st language...while you US Americans notoriously rape fine language of English, hoovering should be vacuum cleaning...
There's some irony.
I should add that I'm British, not US American, and I'll finish by pointing out that hoovering is an accepted verb for vacuum cleaning but not for what a helicopter does (except perhaps in the most impressive of emergencies).

According @TexRex's Hill article both Dems and Repubs gave her pushback, so you could say they're working together
Now that whataboutism has been approved for general use I guess I should point out that Obama, Cheney, Dubya and Lincoln should maybe all have been censured for using bad language as well:

I think it's a problem regardless of location. I look at it as a glorified pedo loophole.

I'm really disappointed in Clemson's White House visit. Like everything Trump does, he failed. He was so very close to having it be the most American thing ever. He had FOOTBALL!!!!, fast food, ample cheese, and a bunch of southern good ole boys. But it lacked guns, a bald eagle, Ted Nugent, and an F-150. So close, yet so far.
Really though, I'm actually not mad at the display of non-wasteful spending. I mean sure, having sports teams come to the White House is wasteful, but picking a budget-friendly meal is something I can get behind.
Now I just hope the government is still shut down if the Patriots win the Super Bowl so Trump can force Big Macs on Tom Brady and drain his life force.

Probabyl the most disrespectful thing to have happen in the White House, including the Monica Lewinsky nonsense.

At Andrew Jackson's 1829 inauguration party, all members of the public were free to attend as it was a symbolic gesture of the President mingling with the electorate. The story goes that after drinking all the alcohol in the house, they trashed the White House by smashing furniture, tearing paintings off the wall and even supposedly smushing cheese into the floor with their feet. The only way to get them to leave was by putting several large barrels of whiskey out on the garden to lure them outside.
I think they stopped the public inauguration parties at the White House after that.

Um, no. The most disrespectful thing to have happen in the White House is probably when the British, you know, burnt it to the ground.
Feeding a college football team, fast food, in the grand scheme of things, is not even noteworthy. Disrespectful? Maybe. Classless? Probably. But the Donald loves fast food, so seeing him do something like this isn't surprising.
I just don't like the fact that some people are pointing to racism. Um, as far as I know, white people like fast food too...I didn't know that I was supposed sit on my throne eating lobster and caviar while drinking the finest wines in all the land, while those poor black people are stuck eating fast food. That's just not even reality.
Edit:"I think we're going to serve McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King with some pizza," Trump said to the media earlier that day ... explaining, "I would think that's their favorite food."
Some people are pointing at racism, overlooking the fact that they are college students and college students are notorious for eating fast food (as is basically everybody in America). Though he's forgetting that they're top-tier athletes probably on really really good diets.

Real life events, liberally sprinkled with fake news, hyperbole & political bias. Sounds familiar.

For once I am with Trump with this one. The liberal media are blowing this out proportion. Low budget, very american, not unneccessary fancy (in a postive way) , accessible (not elitist) and also a good sense humor. The football players have a great story to tell about that one time they ate a big mac in the whitehouse! It would have been a good PR thing no matter which president. Just because its Trump it has been receiving criticism.
That said the shutdown is 100% his fault. He stated it in public whith Pelosi, Schumer and Media there. Him claiming otherwise now is something all Americans should be furious about!

Oops
Isn't classless a good thing, or does it mean something worse in the US?
Personally I don't have a problem with it, and it came on the same day that the British papers had pictures of an armed officer bringing Krispy Kremes (yeuch!) to Downing Street. If you've got to eat you've got to eat. If you've furloughed the staff then send Jeeves out for a whopper.
Who? Where? If so I'd agree that that's quite mad.

Ye classless doesn't mean without a class system. It meant not classy.
No matter how bad the government is doing they have the federal reserve and why am I even defending how silly this is? They could have at least gone to Red Robin or one of the higher end fast food joints

Classless for something like a dinner at the White House is definitely bad in my opinion. When you're the President, and you invite guests to the White House, then wouldn't you expect something kinda classy/fancy, as opposed to fast food that you can eat any time, anywhere?
EDIT: That shouldn't take away though from the fact that they were in the White House and met the President of the United States. And it's not like he has to invite people to the White House. It's his choice. So he can serve whatever he wants, but just generally speaking if you do something that cordial and prestigious, most people would probably want to serve something more special than fast food.

Looking more into it, it actually looks like the president always foots the bill for themselves, their family, and any of their guests. So I'm guessing other presidents have paid for sports teams to show up there too.

Twitter tweeters, presumably (as that particular tweet is linked to in the Vox article highlighted in that post), but then it's no secret that there's stupidity on Twitter.

I have to disagree there. The only that are allowed to criticise are the players themselves in this situation. I personally would have found it an honor even if they served microwave diners.
Thats why I worry how Trumps following very likely consider Trumps's tweets as "real" News over MSM.
