I so desperately want to reach for the top shelf bourbon tonight.

But that's been promised for one day and one day only: the day we can announce that Donald Trump is no longer the President of the United States of America.

Still, I think there's some lower shelf spirits that are worth the celebration of today.

I agree...keep the good stuff for the big stuff, but....little victories deserve little celebrations!
Me, it will be single malt Irish come the day.

The news is good - but not great booze good.

I'm saving the really good single malt for the day you hit the really good bourbon. I sincerely hope I don't have something important to do the day after.

for Trump's demise---impeached, 25th Amendment, resigned in disgrace, "the big one", whatever.

And they have been chilling ever since. They are reserved for the day T. rump either leaves office or is in prison. The other two are for Ivanka/Jared’s prison date and the final for Uday and Ursay’s time. I will occasionally text pictures of my hand on one of them and send to my kids when a development happens. Ironically I was cleaning out the fridge this morning and all 3 were out on the counter before this all began. Put them back to chill.

I'm asking because I'd like to lay in a stock of that and what everybody else would consider worthy of the event.

For me it'll probably be the result of some research into single malt scotches I would never otherwise buy.

Super Tuesday was today. tЯump's reign of terror up America will end soon and you can celebrate then as well.
