Is a great liquor store, excellent selections and prices. No, I have no connection to them whatsoever, was just a regular customer.

I replied with the comment that said:

Yeah coffee that leaves a bitter and regretful aftertaste in your mouth, leaving you that feeling that you wish you'd picked a better brand.

* Contains 100% Maxwell House coffee

And that stuff is expensive.. 9.49 for 12 kcups?!? I think I paid 5.99 for Starbucks Kcups on sale at Market Basket a few weeks ago. However, this picture came from a friend in Texas who saw it at Albertson's.

yeah

$30 for domestic non-vintage non-AOC bubbly? Yeah, you go back up the truck, pal... I can think of no worse punishment to wish on someone than to be stuck drinking that plonk.

By Kinopio on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 9:12am.

Forget MA's highest ranked schools, long lifespans, amazing hospitals and great wages....all I care about is access to crappy wine!

With lemmings like you buying Trust Fund Trump's crap it must have taken a tremendously bad business man to run Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Atlantic City, The New Jersey Generals, GoTrump.com, Trump Vodka, Trump Magazine, Trump On The Ocean and a few more business into the ground. Add on his marriages and its shocking how someone can suck so bad at life.

It's all good.

We all get to support who we like and that's what makes America Great.

If it weren't for checking on UHub I wouldn't have known that Gary's had it.
Trump's wine locator didn't show it. http://www.trumpwinery.com/wine-locator

That being said..
I'm not judging people from spending $10 on a bowl of salad either when they can make their own for a fraction.

Thanks again..

Dude, which is it?

By Marco on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 11:21am.

"We all get to support who we like and that's what makes America Great."
This is clearly a lie. America is a DISASTER. We are losing at everything. Obummer care is a DISASTER. Our healthy economy and low unemployment rates are a DISASTER. We are making THE WORST deals.
I thought the goal is to make America Great AGAIN?
At least the Republicans can finally admit that this country is smoking cesspool of human misery painted with the pretty colors of Wall St earnings. Who better than a sleazy con-man to get us back on track!

Wince and choke down a glass of that garbage , take a few breaths, and try to get your rhetoric straight. Glad you could take a few bottles off Gary's hands, he is likely to take a loss on them, like everything else Trump touches.

There were two bottles left

By gimme 2 on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 4:36pm.

There were two bottles left as of a while ago. Unless he has more in the backroom.

Anyways to your points.
Obamacare is a disaster.
My premiums went from 178 to 289 for no reason.. and if i decided to forgo that expense i'd be hit with a massive fine while still not having coverage?. What happened to Affordable?

Anyways... We'll see who the democrats choose in 8 years to compete,

Gimme 2, save a bottle of red

By O-FISH-L on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 11:10am.

Gimme 2, don't buy them all. I'm not a wine guy but one bottle in my cabinet is untouchable. It's a bottle with the Red Sox logo from the 2004 World Series. Now there will be a second bottle off limits, if the over 1,000,000+ Trump voters in MA don't beat me to it. I wonder if Gary's can back date the receipt to last Friday, a new beginning. If you had a receipt from inauguration day with the bottle, it would be worth a small fortune already, much like the surging stock market that the fake Globe front page predicted would crash under Trump. Perhaps some of the Globe's prediciions will come true and nuclear war will start any minute. #MAGA

Well..

By gimme 2 on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 10:38am.

Well..
I planned on 6 at the moment but i'll let you know later today on here how many were left.
Hopefully not too many Trump Voters see this UHub post since it was posted last night.

After we clear out, it'll likely hit reddit causing Gary's to clear out and he can order more.

Stay Strong and MAGA on! :)

Does a lot for the community. And there's this.

Thank you

By Gary on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 7:05pm.

Thank you for the nice words. Again, I wasn't trying to make a political statement. I am a big believer in the 1st amendment. I have no problem with people coming in and saying they were mad, or happy that I carried this. It is not my place to take choices away from people. If you like it, then buy it, if not, then don't. If you feel like expressing your opinion to me in a civil way, then I am more than happy to hear you out. The key word being CIVIL. It is all sold out now, but we have plenty of Tequila and Corona left ;)

"any article manufactured or sold"

By tachometer on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 9:56am.

If the feds come busting down his door I think his lawyer might be able to argue that the seal was not attached to the actual article that was going out the door but was merely adjacent to it.

That is until Trump signs an executive order directing the Justice Department to not prosecute anyone for selling a Trump article with the seal on it, then it won't be an issue any more.

You didn't read the link

Which is my own fault for not including this also. It includes advertisements

A restriction that would be almost certainly would be quashed by the Court if it were seriously challenged.

Cybah, you should have been at the inaugural...

By O-FISH-L on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 10:46am.

Cybah, you should have been at the inaugural. All kinds of garments for sale with the Seal of the President of the United States, being peddled by mostly black local D.C. vendors, as federal agents galore passed by without concern. Hats, scarves, shirts, rain gear, you name it. Very nice vendors, festive and items priced reasonably. They also had some anti-Hillary gear with language unfit to print here. I passed on those, she's been through enough. You could even buy a picture standing behind the presidential podium (with official seal) at Reagan National Airport. It had a little step stool behind it, apparently expecting Hillary to win. They must have believed the polls! I will grab a bottle of wine (or two) though if I can get to Gary's soon enough.

Right. Because there's absolutely NO way that the phrase you quoted could EVER provide ANY sort of reasonable, respectful context!

And why is THAT? Because of the source, of course: O-FISH-L!!!

So perhaps you'll consider taking your own advice.

OOPS!

I didn't realize that, and changed the sign as soon as I saw this. Thank you for pointing that out.

I figured you didn't know :-) A lot of people don't know this.. some how at 1am this morning I vaguely remember that you can't use the seal anywhere without expressed permission (which is rare)

Maybe if it had a catchy slogan like that it would sell better.

no

By Scumquistador on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 8:31am.

it would just be a waste of a clever slogan

although i'd probably buy it because that is pretty awesome.

I'll take one.

Great birthday present for my mom. She loves Trump.

why is this a story?

By ml617 on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 8:29am.

I'm guessing they fly off the shelf and hopefully get restocked as soon as necessary. Not everybody passionately hates the president of the United States like you Adam. When will your temper tantrum end?

Presumed backstory:

By anonism on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 8:53am.

Stores in many states had plenty of shelf space because they were all sold out of Democrat Kool-Aid

The difference is

By Waquiot on Sat, 01/28/2017 - 12:11am.

After all of that, we have means to handle our grievances, such as-

Separation of powers through an elected Legislature
The fact that the head of government is elected, albeit indirectly
The first amendment allows the freedom to petition for the redress of grievances

Unfortunately, after a little kerfuffle in the 1860s after a Republican was elected President, states kind of have to admit that the President and Congress have powers under the Constitution.

Not everybody passionately

By ZachAndTired on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 9:53am.

Not everybody passionately hates the president of the United States like you Adam.

Not everybody, but the majority of people do. He's got a 36% approval rating.

Not quite

By Waquiot on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 10:07am.

Rasmussen has 55% approving of his job performance in the White House. Of course, 40% strongly approve and 40% strongly disapprove, with the remaining 20% just sick and tired of hearing from the other 80% and wish they just posted about puppies and kittens on facebook.

Oh, hey, Rasmussen

By erik g on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 10:18am.

I also have a piece of paper towel that my 3-year-old scribbled on with purple crayon, which I think reads "11%," though that might just be a ketchup stain. Anyway, I'll take the word of the paper towel over the nation's least reliable polling firm, thanks.

So

By Waquiot on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 10:27am.

You'd rather go with your gut than with the data in front of you? Interesting.

I'd rather go with Gallup

By ZachAndTired on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 10:51am.

I'd rather go with Gallup (which is where the 36% number came from), but even if you go with Rasmussen's 40% he still has the lowest approval rating for an incoming president since Eisenhower.

Now a skewing of the data

By Waquiot on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 3:14pm.

Rasmussen puts it at 55%. Still, after 1 week I would imagine that even GWB had much higher numbers. I mean, it would not seem easy to screw up after 6 days in office, and while Trump might have done some things that in some quarters give pause, he hasn't screwed up to that level, yet.

But yes, Gallup (and I just saw Quinnipiac) give a starker number. Probably has something to do with question bias in one or more (or all) of the polls.

(edited to add the last 9 words. I don't know whose polls ask which questions.)

Nope

By SwirlyGrrl on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 9:36pm.

It has to do with Rasmussen cherry picking which number they like best, when they don't outright pull one out of their nethers.

Just because they put numbers out there, does not mean that they are valid. It is the methods and the rigor that make for science and statistics, not having a number.

Oh, right, polls

By anon on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 4:35pm.

All of those clinton polls could not have possibly been wrong...

And, indeed, they weren't

By adamg on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 6:06pm.

The national polls consistently showed Clinton winning the popular vote. Which she did, by nearly 3 million.
