I can see the headlines already

[malaise]

Breaking breaking BROKE- the Slobfather has been indicted

And then malaise grabbed a wine glass, ran to the fridge, took out that bottle of Blue Nun, opened it, 3/4 filled the wine glass - said cheers, took a sip, rested it on the table, grabbed the container with home-made chocolate-coffee walnut fudge, jumped up and down and giggled like a three year old and began the celebrations with her Florida sibling and regulars at DU😀😀☺️☺️☺️

Won’t be long. Have a nice day.
That is all.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. This old fart will do a jig when that happens.

[malaise]

9. LOL

What will you be drinking? 😀😀😀

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. I may have to splurge and get me some single malt IF he is perkwalked into prison.

[OrangeJoe]

80. We legalized it, so it's a big doobie for me.

[Tetrachloride]

2. There's a beach that awaits me.

[panader0]

3. 3/4 of a glass of wine and a piece of fudge. You are a real wild thing!

We'll all be celebrating soon.

[malaise]

4. That's the warm up

[Maeve]

5. I'll head for the store--that headline will call for champagne

And chocolate, maybe fresh fudge....or death by chocolate ice cream. Covered in fudge.

[malaise]

7. .or death by chocolate ice cream. Covered in fudge.

Well now that you write that I need some coffee and coconut ice-cream

[Maeve]

8. Yeah, I need to look for the homemade fudge kits in the baking aisle

almost that time of the year

[wnylib]

32. Why "or?" Chocolate fudge AND chocolate chunk ice cream,

with chocolate syrup. (Some chopped walnuts sprinkled on top could be a token health food for the omega 3 benefit).

When you celebrate a joyous event, go all the way.

A glass of Kahlua might go well with that ice cream dish.

[Unwind Your Mind]

50. Ooh chocolate ice cream with a shot of Kahlua poured over

I need to go shopping

[OMGWTF]

60. Vanilla ice cream with a shot of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey

is da bomb!

[ProfessorGAC]

93. Have A Bottle In The Basement Fridge

In the last few years, champagne gives my wife heartburn. I forgot that.
So, I bought a bottle for valentine's day that we never used.
If the OP prediction comes true, seems like a good reason to pop it!

[spanone]

6. Oh yea!

[Johnny Noshoes]

10. I have...

Some Jameson Black Barrel just waiting.

[Ligyron]

12. Now that does sound good.

Cheers!

[Walleye]

11. All those people buying expensive booze will be a boost to the economy

[malaise]

13. Mine is cheap

from the hippie days

[jaxexpat]

25. Almost lost another keyboard. I thought you said"...from the Ripple days".

Brought back memories from my hippie days when I classed my act up and went to Boone's Farm, then chianti and then Mateus. What a social climb that was! I still can't hear the phrase "ripple in time" without a smirk.

[malaise]

28. My parents introduced us to wine on Sundays

My mother had been exposed to these things in Europe and England, dad in England so they introduced us as kids. Dad liked Chianti, but I was not impressed.
I did love good Scotch as I grew up - my brother used to call me ‘and water’ - my chaser of choice -then it was beer or Blue Nun.😀😀😀
I have no problem drinking high end stuff if someone else is buying it, but I never buy it

[SWBTATTReg]

37. Ha ha heh...it was our favorite too back in the day, Ripple and Boone's Farm. Haven't had either in

a long time. Those were the days of care-free youth, and a cheap drunk experience!

[rubbersole]

44. Colt 45...

$1.15 a quart. Our high school probably kept them in business.

[Evolve Dammit]

94. Then came the 40 oz. version. Personally liked Schlitz Malt Liquor (the Bull). In OH we had "Little

Kings" cream ale, sorta like Genessee but smoother. 79 cents a quart. Great times and affordable! If you had five bucks it was going to be a fun night. Twenty was a really good dinner for two.

[panader0]

62. Mad Dog 20 20.

[rubbersole]

69. Worst hangover 😫 ever.

I've heard...

[malaise]

91. What's that. n/t

[rubbersole]

96. Mogan David 20/20(IIRC)

Nasty red wine...20% alcohol. The brown bag hobo drink of champions. It got you pretty drunk pretty quickly. For a dollar.

[malaise]

98. LOL

[Evolve Dammit]

92. Oh god no. That stuff was unforgiving....

[wnylib]

35. Blue Nun was the "classy" drink,

next to Boone's Farm apple wine.

[malaise]

46. Or Sloane's Ginger wine

in these parts 😀😀

[wnylib]

51. Oh my. Never heard of it. Sounds interesting.

[rubbersole]

40. I hadn't heard "Blue Nun" in fifty years...

The memories made me smile so much I broke a hip...

[malaise]

56. I hope not

😀😀😀

[rubbersole]

59. No, but I loved the memories.

I dated a lovely lass my junior year of high school who would only drink Blue Nun. Needless to say, this horndog spent countless hours and dollars (gas was $.30 a gallon) trying to make sure I had a supply. The 22yo neighbor behind us was our alcohol purveyor at $5 a trip. All the junior alcoholics would get our lists and money together and twice a week reload our car trunks. Then in '69 weed came along and the rest is....I can't remember...

[malaise]

61. Now you have me laughing so hard that I may breal

my hip.

[lpbk2713]

64. TD Seven

Headed this way.

[malaise]

68. Thankfully it looks like it will be a TS in the islands

and is likely turn and become a fish storm.
I hope😀

[DENVERPOPS]

97. weird

because all I can remember is Mogan David??????? Same as all the wino's drank.....

[calimary]

100. Mine's strictly Hershey's.

[Mad_Machine76]

76. There may even be

a baby boom nine months later!

[malaise]

102. Ha

Likely😀

[lark]

15. I will grab a glass of the bubbly that I will buy when he's indicted.

Probably brute champagne and have it with a piece of chocolate or a chocolate cookie, sing "ding, dong, the witch is dead", and dance like crazy with pure joy! My dog will bark and jump with me, even if no one else is there.

[YoshidaYui]

16. MY fear is a TRUMP appointed JUDGE.....

will let him off with a slap on the wrist.. meh!!

[MiHale]

17. That special day begin with...

Sunglasses and earplugs…why?…the dark skies will part, the light will be so bright; the chorus of angels singing praises to justice will be deafening. Faces will crack because the silly grin of righteousness cannot be wiped off. Then the libations begin…

A very special cannabis tincture, double strong, tinctured twice with 151 rum, let sit since 2020 election…few drops over the line followed by a couple Natty Daddy’s 26 ouncers while toking on a couple blunts laughing my insides out.

It will be a great day!

[malaise]

57. Sure will be

😀

[Golfnbrew]

18. Yep

My champagne has been chilling out in the fridge, waiting for a long time, but I think it might be getting opened soon!

[babylonsister]

19. Blue Nun...really?!

That cracked me up, but I drink Bud, so who am I kidding?!

[malaise]

22. One of my siblings only drinks high end wine

Me now I like high end fresh seafood so I stick with the pleasant tasting cheap wine. Can’t afford both 😀😀😀😀

[Marcuse]

38. Me too.

[malaise]

45. That's hilarious

[70sEraVet]

20. I'm way ahead of you on the Blue Nun, malaise.

But I too have a list of friends to share the celebrations with!

[malaise]

47. Will be quite a party

😀

[Tanuki]

21. You couldn't be persuaded to share the recipe for that chocolate coffee walnut fudge,

could you,malaise? Pretty please!

😛 😄

[malaise]

23. Will post it later

😀

[malaise]

24. Here

Use walnuts, peanuts or almonds instead of pecans
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1157101051

[Tanuki]

63. Thank you! You made my day, malaise!

(I have a black walnut tree in my back yard).

[malaise]

66. Lucky you

One of my sisters and her hubby always send me nuts - three pound bags of several varieties.

[Evolve Dammit]

70. These are awesome! Thanks. Just did a chicken tortilla soup (Cantrbury Naturals) that was a big hit

[malaise]

73. PM me that recipe

Pretty please😀

[Evolve Dammit]

75. I cheated and bought the pre-mix package of Canterbury Naturals Artisan Soups (Conifer Foods)

Add your own chicken, stock and finish with avocado, cheese and tortilla strips. I did some extra corn and a dollop of sour cream and some hot sauce/salsa.. Onion and black beans would work as additions also. I'll look for the link.

[malaise]

77. Never seen that brand here

Will have a look

[Evolve Dammit]

79. me neither. It was in a close-out bin, but my local chain does stock it. BTW, never had "red rum."

Could you use dark? What is a good brand of the actual red?

[Evolve Dammit]

78. Here ya go!

https://www.canterburynaturals.com/artisan-soups/

[niyad]

27. May I join you? I can bring my Kahlua chocolate raspberry brownies, and

a very nice CA sparkling wine. Oh, and gigglez. LOTS of giggles.

[malaise]

30. Sure

Hahahah😀😀😀

[Sancho]

29. I can't wait, Mar-a-Lago: Home to Bentdick Donald..on the sightseeing tour.

...meanwhile, at the prison in Starke...

[MLAA]

31. I will join you by grabbing a cocktail or beer and binge watching the same videos over and over

On MSNBC!

[3Hotdogs]

33. I inherited my mother's 1951 Claxton fruit cake.

Ill get to open it in 60 days?


By the way, the 60 days, no indict thingy.... does it only apply to Reps?

[malaise]

34. Damn I could see myself pouring rum sauce over your fruit cake

while toasting to Merrick Garland 😀😀😀😀

[3Hotdogs]

36. Morgan?

Or good shit?

[malaise]

48. J. Wray and his Nephew (as we say)

50 year old because I got a free bottle

[lame54]

39. That's a hell of a long headline...

But a great one

[RainCaster]

41. I will light off fireworks

I want all my friends and neighbors to know how I feel about this.

[Evolve Dammit]

42. We had fireworks for about 1/2 hour in our area when they raided MAGAT LAGO

[malaise]

90. There are folks here who will literally fire live

shots in the air

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Can't wait Malais. Send that recipe!

[malaise]

49. Posted at #24

😀

[packman]

52. I'm not that much of a wine snob, but I'll dip into my reserve of

Thunderbird or, really spurge and unscrew the cap on that Boone's Farm Strawberry I have hidden behind the furnace in the basement..

[malaise]

55. Bwaaaaah😀

Love it - no Blue Nun drinker is a wine snob😀😀😀

[Cheezoholic]

53. I will unleash the

[malaise]

58. LOL

How appropriate

[LaMouffette]

54. It will be just as joyous a day as the day Bin Laden got what he had coming to him.

We won't celebrate in the streets (although the Repubes would have if they had gotten their wish and Hillary had been indicted [even though she was innocent]) like we did when we got news of Bin Laden's demise, but there will be celebrations, oh yes, there will be celebrations!

P.S. Coffee fudge? Now that sounds delicious! Thanks for the recipe, Malaise!

[Brainfodder]

65. The whole WEB arrested and charged?

How many people, I feel like guessing number of marbles in a large jar!

666?

[H2O Man]

71. Recommended. (#101)

[malaise]

72. We should raise our

Blue Mountain Coffee mugs.

[BlackSkimmer]

74. The 22nd, right?

Can hardly wait.

[Cozmo]

81. I await this day with bated breath

[Stratman]

82. I am hopeful we will see

A Commander Queeg from The Caine Mutiny moment with him on the stand at some point or even better a confession that he committed treason but saying he can’t be charged because he is the “real president”

[malaise]

83. He will never admit he committed treason

Welcome to DU 😀

[Stratman]

84. Not sure about that

He gets wound up and his mouth runs off way ahead of what little thoughts are rattling around his head or he could just truly have a breakdown under the stress

[WinstonSmith4740]

85. I've got a bottle of champagne on ice.

But now I have to find some chocolate-coffee walnut fudge.

[malaise]

87. Recipe at #24

😀

[WinstonSmith4740]

104. Thank you!

[IcyPeas]

86. well, if it's good enough for rod and david...

[malaise]

89. Hahahahha

What fab photos and as we always say, the bottle is effin’ blue to boot.

[Blue Owl]

88. Bwah!

I have some spirits on ice waiting for that magical, beautiful day....

[Emile]

95. LOL. We'll all be celebrating! 🎉

[locks]

99. I plan to be around

I'm 92 and have voted Dem for 71 years; might have to stay with root beer though.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

101. Indictment?

Has there actually been an indictment?

People here have been predicting on a daily, even an hourly basis that he will be indicted soon, real soon. Hasn't happened yet. Is that a clue? What are the actual odds he'll be indicted? 12 million to 1 is my best guess.

Keep in mind that Nixon did not die in jail, as he should have.

Poor people are always indicted, tried, convicted, spend years in jail for various things. People at the top? Never.

[867-5309.]

103. malaise is the first person I will think of if it happens

No one will party harder.

[BobsYourUncle]

105. Thanks for this thread malaise.

I don’t often read all the way through a thread that runs this long but you elicited so many interesting responses and sub-threads (that you helped sustain!), I gladly read on. And enjoyed them all (but maybe one). It’s the kind of thing that I think does a lot to unite us.
Love-emoji, smiles-emoji-x5, etc., etc.

[malaise]

106. Indeed there are lovely responses here

and welcome to DU

[stage left]

107. Nobody else may be dancing in the street.

But I will. With a glass tea--you know the hard stuff.

[Richard D]

108. A nice glass of

A tumbler of Glenmorangie Signet and a chunk of Nepal's finest in my hookah.

(and I neither drink nor smoke, but exceptions must be made)

[malaise]

109. Enjoy

[machoneman]

111. WoW!

I’m still amazed at just how far these clowns went to steal the election. Not only that, but so, so many from near and far, some allegedly smart folks (not Mike!) and some even lawyers have been caught up in Trumpian lies. Great to see the widespread effort by the FBI and the J6 committee to investigate, indict and find guilty those miscreants. I’d also like to see a current ‘billboard’ so to speak of each person either charged by the FBI, had their phones taken or are under suspicion. Would take 3-4 full newspaper pages, both sides, by now!
