Democratic Debate Cocktails!
Will you drink "The Hillary," "The Bernie Sanders," or "The Biden"?
Get ready for tonight's debate with these candidate-themed libations.
The Hillary Clinton:
-Start with a glass of champagne, and add a splash of something that's like Southern Comfort, but isn't the real thing.
-Then add some bitters—any flavor will do as long as it's aged. Best would be bitters from 2008.
-If the press is attending, extend a olive branch into the drink and then rescind it.
-Garnish with some sour grapes, and serve super cold while trying to look warm.
The Bernie Sanders:
-This drink is a classic White Russian with a few new wrinkles to make it go down easier.
-Now fill the glass with plenty of other people's money—the drink just doesn't work without it.
-Finish with a splash of our forefathers tears, and make sure to equally distribute tiny portions to everyone.
I could show you how to make a Lincoln Chafee or a Jim Webb or an Martin O'Mally, but let's be honest, nobody's going to drink those.
While it may be early, just in case…
The Joe Biden:
-Just reach into your fridge without looking and put whatever you grabbed into the glass. It may sound stupid, but people will know you mean well, and they may even find it endearing.
-In a pinch, you can just take someone else's cocktail and claim it as your own.
Now you're ready for the debate. So kick back, relax, and enjoy what you've created, America.
About 1:15 minutes.

i don't get it. People in ideological bubbles frequently tell unfunny jokes.
I've long wondered what it would be like to have absolutely no self awareness. Reading your comments is probably the closest I'll ever get.
Oh, come on, Loki. You don't think:
"Hey, guess what? Libertarians/conservatives/republicans are assholes/morons/racists/homophobes/rich bastards! Someone talk to me! Argue with me! Please! Please!!!!"
from the local troll isn't just pure comedy gold?
Lolwut
Rich socialists are hypocrites and poor socialists are losers.
Oh, I'm sorry: you must have thought someone was talking to you.
Your mistake.
Try again. Troll harder.
I'm a troll? I thought I was a libertarian concerned with maximizing individual liberty and anti-militarism. I've voted mostly for 3rd parties, but ended up voting forhink one's freedom can sometimes be curtailed by private interests. Thus, I argue for regulation and police departments funded by progressive taxes. I'm not down with the Charles Manson libertarian wing but maybe we should not quibble with that.
Brian, you can respond to any of my posts any time. I welcome your interaction!
How interesting. Go on... tell us all more about yourself.
Brian, are you a libertarian or a Republican? It's hard to tell. I ask because I'm trying to figure out if you're friend or moron/racist/asshole/homophobe
It's all about meeeeeeeeee....
I notice you never answer if you have paid your mortgage. Not a comfortable subject for you? Deadbeat commie.
No, I'm perfectly happy answering it. It's just that I've told it a billion times. Do you really want to hear about my problems?
Your problems, or how you made your problems someone else's problem ?
Hey AmSoc, you pay that mortgage yet?
You forgot the Kool-Aid.
That's in a giant punch bowl right as you walk in. They also have take-home containers of it on your way out.
They are all scam artists, no different from the candidates in the repubes or any other party. 🙂 .

But so what?
I don't care which scam artist finally gets elected, or which doesn't, nor what the Fed does/does not do, nor whether, according to Mr "investment advisor with a near perfect prediction record" [insert name of choice] , we are supposedly in for recession, depression, deflation, hyper inflation, a stock market boom, or whatever .
Why? Because whatever happens, my entirely self-managed, fully diversified, once per year adjusted long term savings plan will be safely protected and will , 9 times out of 10, grow at an average of 8% per annum over and above the prevailing inflation [or deflation], rate, year in, year out, as it has since 1986 when I started using it.

Sorry, my Mama taught me to never trust strangers I meet on the internet.
Born, any financial advisor that feels a need to spam comment boards of political websites is not someone I would let manage my stash of Monopoly money, let alone real assets. Perhaps you should consider suicide.
"Perhaps you should consider suicide."
Dang it! That is your answer to everything...
I'm big fan of thinning the herd. Is this a good segueway to discussing my plan to euthanize all the progressives?
It's important when making The Hillary to wipe the outside of the glass first with, like, a cloth or something?
The Jim Webb: A cheap rum and (vanilla) coke served on paper (It looks good there, like his career.). Make sure the dumbest guy at the party is also making cocktails. He will invariably screw something up and yours will taste great by comparison.
Substitute cocktails with Kool-Aid and drink until your blue in the face.
This is an obvious troll attempt directed at the commentariat. Discuss...
Good video.
-Finish with a splash of our forefathers tears, and make sure to equally distribute tiny portions to everyone.
I would have shown the person making the drink trying to take some of it out with an eyedropper at this point.
Also, each batch should be smaller than the last.
Until you run out of other people's money, then start handing out toilet paper ration cards to everyone instead.
And blackout days that feature........well........blackouts.
Today's blackout day has been called in loving memory of when we used to have power. Tomorrow's will be held in loving memory of housepets.
My choice for the democrat cocktails is to dump all of them into the trash. Then burn the trash.
None of those drinks are going to disguise the taste of a shit sandwich.
Start working at home with Google! It's by-far the best job I've had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail.
