We're given a distorted view of the Dictator that Biden installed on Ukraine, he's an evil vile monster, worthy of the scorn they try to get ill-informed Americans to think about Putin.

They're both shit. So is Biden. Everyone lies.

If I run a business and I see numbers down do I freak everyone out? No. You lead. You lie. You do what you have to keep things going. That's government. That's business.

You've said you did flooring in your past work. You surely never lied about a deadline? Getting to the job on time "I hit some 'traffic'" type stories? That's government on a bigger scale. People just believe it because they're elected officials. Power. 99.999% of the time the position you're elected to you stay in it for the terms you were elected for. Fuck Google and Apple, but you're not signing 4 year contracts for those companies.

Every human will lie if given a 4-6 year contract. Get a contract with a major builder for 4 years to put in flooring in all their homes. You gonna bull shit timelines and lie. Everyone say they won't, but they WILL. That's government. I've bull shitted plenty when I worked in RE. No one is immune to it.

Bud Light Sponsoring ‘All Ages’ Drag Queen Pride Party

June 07, 2023

Clearly they have not learned that the public detests their homo-mongering.

https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/here-we-go-bud-light-quietly-donates-200k-to-lgbtq-businesses-of-color-mstef/

Bud Light is doubling down on its all-things-to-all-people strategy with a massive $200,000 donation intended to benefit LGBTQ businesses of color as the beer brand seeks to contain the fallout from its partnership with a transgender social media influencer.

In May the Anheuser-Busch beer brand quietly announced it would make a donation to the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce’s Communities of Color Initiative. The move is another attempt by Bud Light to thread the needle between backlash from both the right and the left that has cost the brand tens of billions of dollars in market value.

Modelo is made by... inBev!!!

I think that's why the media keeps pushing the huge fucking lie that Modelo is the best selling beer in America.
I have been looking for it in the store. I haven't seen one store where it even has a two sick pack wide shelf space. Just one six pack wide, and none of them have been taken. While Coor's, Lite, and Yeingling seem to be moving.

I think the ESG leaky organ fags at In-Bev headquarters, are paying the Fake News MSM to push the false narrative that a Mexican Swill garbage sewage water, is America's best selling beer. We can't keep the Rapist, Murders and Thieves out now, who will brew our beer?

Consolidated. InBev had to sell it in 2013 for antitrust purposes to Constellation Brands, but could keep some bottlers.

It's a Mexican beer, so has some pull for sure in SoCal.

Conservatives Turn on Garth Brooks, Throw Out His Music After Bud Light Support: 'Never Again'

... The Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk bar is ironically named as Brooks will apparently only consider you a friend if you support the moral depravity of transgenderism and companies like Anheuser-Busch who propagate it.

In the interview, he not only supported the decision to sell Bud Light but also referred to anyone boycotting the product as “a**holes” that should seek out other bars in the lower Broadway area.

Why would anyone ever want to listen to Garth Brooks again after he turned his back on his fans?

You do not hurt a musician by throwing out CDs. You hurt them buy selling those CDs dirt cheap to cut into the musician's new sales.

Patrick says

Why would anyone ever want to listen to Garth Brooks again after he turned his back on his fans?

Garth is a fucking idiot to the max. Even if you wanted to, you needed to be vaccinated if you wanted to see a show of his. He's a scumbag with trash music.

Anyone that thinks pop musicians whether it be country, rock or rap are writing their own tunes and producing them are a common retard. Garth hasn't written an original song to himself outside of maybe his first album, if that. They find people with pretty faces, personality and average voices. It's sales 101. Most people don't get what the music industry is.

It's marketing and sales. There's no talent outside of a few exceptions.

https://babylonbee.com/news/garth-brooks-opens-gay-bar

NASHVILLE, TN — In a surprising twist, legendary country music star Garth Brooks has announced that his new bar will in fact be a gay bar, as they will be serving Bud Light.

"There are plenty of other straight bars you can go to, but at my bar, we will serve an endless supply of Bud Light!" said Garth Brooks sporting a glittery rainbow cowboy hat and rhinestone studded chaps. "So if you wanna go where the whiskey drowns and the Bud Light chases your blues away then come on down to the 'Friends In Low Places' bar.

According to sources, the bar features unlimited Bud Light on tap, glitter raining down from the rafters, and mechanical bedazzled unicorn riding. As patrons took to the dance floor, gay couples swung, twirled, and twerked to the melodies of classic Garth Brooks tunes mixed with pulsating nightclub beats.

"We take PRIDE in opening such a quality gay bar!" added Garth Brooks while serving another pitcher of ice-cold Bud Light. "Our motto is we'll serve any beer and we don't care if it's queer!"

Many, longtime fans of Brooks arrived at the bar to try and give it a shot only to realize all his old songs were blasting reimagined as gay banger anthems. The hit songs included reworked classics now called "The Thunder Rolls (With Pride)", "Unapologetically Queer", "Ain't Going Back (To The Closet)", and of course "Friends In Rainbow Places."

At publishing time, Garth Brooks had also announced that children will get in free at his 'Friends in Low Places' bar on Drag Queen Night.

Lol. Isn't it known that he's gay? His music sucks. He mandated Covid vaccines at the Ryman in Nashville and the next night we saw a prog rock band, no vaccine required. I would have actually gone just to say I saw him, but it was $250/ticket and didn't have my fake card at that time. He's a cunt.

After 2 decades as America's best-selling beer, Bud Light has now officially dropped out of the TOP TEN

Anchor Steam is going out of business after 127 years. America's oldest craft beer.

I thought the Covid lockdowns already caused that. .From what I heard they never reopened after the slow the spread.

Sucks because that was my favorite beer. It did become harder and harder to find. I had to go to beer/wine super stores to find it.

It's not a very good beer in my opinion. Not terrible, but there's a lot of superior beers. No loss.

There are lots of fine beers, just pick something up at random and find out.

I'm drinking Fall River Widowmaker, which apparently is a Double India Pale Ale. Small no-name brands are generally much better than any national advertised brand. They exist because of their superiority, not marketing. We need to train people to ignore marketing so that the best actually wins, not the most expertly marketed wins.

richwicks says

The loss is the brewing style if no one else has picked it up. I'll pick some up next time I'm out, should try it at least once.

One of the most incredible beers I ever had was Hakim Stout - it was produced in Ethopia, and was SMUGGLED into the United States. They had some sort of agreement with Guinness not to export - eventually they went out of business. Another incredible beer I had was brewed with tea - it was delicious, but THEY went out of business as well. I don't recall the name. I used to drink Cafrees which is no longer produced, it's a very light pilsner that is carbonated with NO2, instead of CO2 - so it has the same mouth feel as Guinness.

Try the random bullshit - sometimes you regret it, sometimes you are amazed at how excellent it is.

It's like food - never go to a national chain, go to a hole in the wall mom and pop shop and try it. Sometimes it's not that great, but sometimes it's incredible.

Taco Bell is no competition for any little mom and pop shops in my area. I'm amazed it exists at all yet television makes it exist. It's like pizza, a nice little place called Vito's Famous Pizza went under:

https://goo.gl/maps/bKmRUhYJgkocdMp76

But Round Table, Mountain Mikes, and Caesar's still exist. They are just as expensive and far lower quality. They are "ok", but for the same price you can get something much better. I hate television - anything advertised on it, you should seriously boycott.

Finally, yesterday Governor DeSantis announced that the State of Florida, which is a significant investor in beer giant Anheuser-Busch, will now investigate the woke corporation for mismanagement that breached the company’s duties to shareholders and injured the state’s investment portfolio.




Budweiser’s “going broke” phase may have only just begun.

I am convinced that InBev corporate execs initiated the move.. .
I can see the board meeting playing out like a Corporation version of the Producers .

We need a marketing campaign so hideous people will swear off Bud Light. Sir I think we have the idea Woke Nut Job idiot, hear me out sir....

That's Perfect! And I love the Can, how can this fail?

I mean think about it, you have all of these brands you own under your portfolio of beers. .All of these other brands all have production and marketing cost.
Then you've got this other beer brand, that 90% of the beers drank in bars and sporting events in America is Bud Light..
You would want to sabotage that one brand to give the other brands a better chance. Even if it means the eventual shuttering of that brand.
They like to say Modello is now the beer of choice, but that's not what I'm seeing at all. What I'm finding now, is people are drinking the whole beer spectrum from the cooler. There isn't any one supreme beer. It used to be when you went somewhere people were drinking beer, most every bottle on the table, bar, and counter was a Bud Light bottle. It would have been hard to sneak in some other brand, because the bar staff would know they didn't sell anything but Bud Light through out the night. Now you look across the room, you see Heineken, Stela Atios, Natural Light, Yuengling and just on and on. I don't ever remember ever being in a bar, and there not being a prevailing beer..
While it is hurting their stock price, I bet their operation costs and the ret\urns on those other brands, are record breaking sales.

Most people have limited their protest to the Budweiser Brand excusivly and mostly Bud Light particularly. A lot of folks are still drinking InBev brands, but a lot of other brands as well..

I think when the Bud Light dust up settles, InBev will be a stronger company for it, when their other brands are carrying their own weight.

After more than two decades as America’s best-selling beer, Bud Light has slipped into second place.

Modelo Especial, a Mexican lager, overtook Bud Light in U.S. retail dollar sales in the month ending June 3, according to Nielsen data analyzed by Bump Williams Consulting. Modelo controlled 8.4% of U.S. grocery, convenience and liquor store sales; Bud Light fell to 7.3%.

Grupo Modelo, the Mexican brewer, is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, the same parent company of Bud Light.

Not much of a success if the same people are getting the money.

Patrick says

NOT true. The reporting is literally wrong as US distribution rights belong to Constellation Brands.

Constellation Brands owns the brewery in Mexico and imports to the US.
The transaction establishes Crown as a fully owned entity of Constellation, and provides Constellation with independent brewing operations, Modelo's full profit stream from all U.S. sales, and rights in perpetuity to the Grupo Modelo brands distributed by Crown in the U.S.
