A small, helpful tip about the bubbly we are storing for the Big Beautiful Day.

[niyad]

While we are chilling that bottle of the good stuff for the immediate news, we realize that a single bottle will not be sufficient. However, after toasting with The Widow, or whatever your choice is, one may go to something a bit more. .accessible. . .for the continuing celebration. For those lucky enough to have a Costco or Trader Joe's handy, they carry some very nice ones, including a 7.99 rose Prosecco at Costco. Your liquor stores no doubt carry some very nice ones as well.

Here's to The Celebration!!! The sooner, the better!!!

[ZDU]

1. Niyad, you ROCK

[niyad]

83. awwww, thank you!

[berniesandersmittens]

2. Get one now, cause the shelves will be empty when it finally happens nt

[niyad]

7. Exactly!!! We would not want to be caught empty-handed on that GLORIOUS

day!!!

[Swede]

3. Costco also sells big bags of vodka.

In case you really get your freak on celebrating.

[niyad]

5. bags? My Costco has 1.75 litre bottles of Kirkland vodka for 12.99,

thank goodness.

[Swede]

28. I saw the bags of vodka last time I was at Costco.

Now I wish I'd taken a picture.

[niyad]

34. I have seen bags of wine at my Natural Grocers. Will have to keep an eye out.

[EYESORE 9001]

4. At this point, I'd hoist a pint of the terrible home brew I made as a kid

It was bubbly, I’ll give it that. No one would award it a ribbon in any conceivable competition 🤮

[niyad]

6. Understood! Whatever we have on hand!!

[EYESORE 9001]

8. I have a secret

I’ll probably give the old reprobate a psilly salute soon after official word arrives and set & setting are right 🍄‍🟫

[niyad]

10. shhhh. .I will never tell!

[homegirl]

25. And We Will Be...

DANCING IN THE STREETS!

[InstantGratification]

67. One of my favorite stories from my time in the USAF.

When I was deployed for desert storm, booze was banned from the based we operated from. Some guys started taking the liter water bottles and pouring out about 1/4 of the water, then putting in 5 or so of the dehydrated fruit packs from the MREs. (Meals Ready to Eat) Add in about 8 sugar packets, also from the MREs. Then crumble up a slice of bread for the yeast. Duct tape a surgical glove on in place of the lid. The glove would inflate from the fermentation process. When the glove went back down, take it off and filter out the fruit. Put the lid back on the bottle and wait a couple of weeks. Viola, fruit wine. Not a fine vintage, but wine none the less.

[EYESORE 9001]

68. Navy here, and although hooch- making did occur, I didn't partake

No disguise for that double vision, and being discovered drinking at sea could have resulted in time in the brig. Theoretically. Personally, I never heard of such a case, even second-hand stories.

[niyad]

76. I never heard of such cases either.

[niyad]

75. And far less obvious than a still!

[Buddyzbuddy]

88. In my neck of the woods, my peeps call that "pruno".

Homemade prison wine. Never tried it, but I've heard stories. These are the same peeps that partake in Thunderbird.

[llmart]

118. Your story reminds me of the TV show MASH.

That homemade still of Hawkeye's was pretty clever.

[debm55]

9. niyad, you still have your bottle of champagne from the election. I love it.

[niyad]

11. Soon!!!

[nilram]

84. Me, too. I so look forward to it.

[surfered]

12. We will be celebrating with the Veuve Clicquot; however, we can also recommend the Santa Margherita Prosecco.

It is an exceptional value. Cheers 🥂

[niyad]

51. Yes, starting with The Widow! I will have to check out the Prosecco.

I think my wine merchant carries it. I LOVE their lavender wine!

[NNadir]

13. I'm ready for the right answer to Orrex's question. We have the bottle stocked already.

[niyad]

52. Today would be good.

[NNadir]

96. I wake up every morning with hope in my heart for this.

[surfered]

14. Then there's the after party

As soon as we know the location…

[erronis]

17. Great one. Or "Deposit used toilet paper in the bin shaped like his head."

[niyad]

100. I would have to visit the llocal camping store first, and I hate standing

in line. But I will be cheering everyone on!

[surfered]

15. Waiting...

[liberalla]

30. Oooh! Where did you get that???

[calimary]

89. I want one of those!

[LeftInTX]

16. I'm convinced that he will outlive me.

[niyad]

35. One must think positively!

[Ocelot II]

18. Trader Joe's Prosecco is quite good for the price.

I might buy a single bottle of the better stuff for the initial celebration, then hit the case of Prosecco. I wonder how many people will be able to make it beyond the liquor store parking lot on that glorious day before the corks start to pop?

[surfered]

21. Where's the nearest drive thru martini stand?

[niyad]

36. I kep looking for the margarita truck. .but the menu should not be limited!

[Dem2theMax]

66. Probably New Orleans. You don't even have to drive.

Just walk up and down the street. I love that place!

[slightlv]

26. we're thinking along the same lines...

first, the more expensive, desired stuff. For me, it's Moet and Chandon. A treat I rarely get to enjoy.

After that, I move on to my usual enjoyment... Pirtles Mead. I love it, and can go several bottles myself, when the mood strikes me. My dad used to call it my "soda pop wine" (lol).

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Champagne cocktail suggestions would also be helpful.

If it happens in the cold of dawn, may I suggest Mimosas? Cherry Bomb Mimosas are a delightful change from the ordinary. Though a Blue Hawaiian Mimosa might be a bit of a dog whistle.

If you feel relief because his deportation policy will follow him into the great beyond, then perhaps a Strawberry Champagne Margarita?

If it's a nooner, then a Death in the Afternoon would be redundant. So, how about a Strawberry Champagne Fizz?

But dinner cocktail hour would require something bolder like Blackberry Champagne Mule.

[niyad]

37. You are quite correct, of course. So very remiss of me.

Your suggestions are excellent, and I thank you.

[Capperdan]

20. Any day now please

Love the grave marker. It's an automatic middle finger anytime I see his face or hear his voice. Can't wait. Tequila will be my choice.

[niyad]

54. Which kind do you prefer?

[Dr. T]

22. Beer. Dead Guy Rogue Ale.

6.8% alcohol by volume. But it's so smooth that you don't know it until you try to stand up.

[niyad]

48. Then you should remain seated!!!

[jmowreader]

23. I refuse to use "the good stuff" for this

I have a few bottles of Andre Cold Duck set aside for Trump’s demise.

My family has a history with Cold Duck: when my dad was in the Bureau of Public Roads, the supervisor of the crew we were part of LOVED Cold Duck. Every year the crew’s Christmas gift from him, which he paid for with his own money, was a frozen Turkey and a bottle of Cold Duck. I don’t think anyone else liked the wine, but it was the thought that counts.

So…the most undrinkable sparkling wine there is sounds just perfect for the death of our commie dictator.

[niyad]

38. I can, of course, see your point. I have not had Cold Duck in many years. I

am guessing it has not improved any.

[Johnny Noshoes]

24. I'm ready

I've got a nice bottle of Jameson Black Label - just right for the day.

[niyad]

39. That will work.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. I have a bottle of Elijah Craig Rye. When the news hits, I'll make a purchase a the local cigar store.

A peaceful glass, two rocks, and a stogie on the back porch. Rain, shine, snow, whatever.

[niyad]

41. A lovely celebration.

[Billsdaughter]

29. Jenny Kush Blunt

On the patio. Then pepperoni pizza and ice cream for dessert!

[niyad]

42. A good celebration.

[LoisB]

31. I may have to end my 30+ years of no alcohol and buy a bottle of champagne, pull out some

old vinyl records, and have a P-A-R-T-Y.

[niyad]

43. A very good party!

[llmart]

120. Start your playlist with "Dancing in the Streets".

If you have any MAGA neighbors, it's a good way to "own the MAGAts."

They've been trying to "own" us for years, so now it's our turn. I will not be quiet about how I feel about his demise. I want people to know that I was not a party to the destruction of our democracy. I do fear that if the GOP are in power still when he croaks, they will go all out for the funeral.

[LoisB]

122. 61 years after release, that song is going to hit #1 on the Billboard top 100.

They are too obsessed with owning us they can't see that they are the ones being owned by a "man" and his sycophants who wouldn't pee on them if they were on fire.

[Just Jerome]

32. A bottle of mediocre

champagne, inherited from a former neighbor, sits in the refrigerator. For my wife and current neighbor. I’ll have a couple ounces of a nice silky single malt and whichever beer I choose from the several we usually have on hand.

[niyad]

44. Sounds very good.

[lindalou65]

33. I'm ready

For the celebration!!

[niyad]

45. waiting MOST impatiently.

[niyad]

46. waiting MOST impatiently.

[surfered]

40. I have sad news to report

Apparently he’s not dead yet

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-playing-golf-baseless-viral-death-rumors-2122068

[niyad]

47. DAMN IT!!!

[chouchou]

49. I've stopped drinking many years ago but, as too your wonderful thought...

...I'll order a 42-gallon barrel of finest French Champagne.

[niyad]

50. I cannot wait to see the look on the clerk's face!

[calimary]

90. I'm not a drinker, but I may stock up on chocolate fudge ice cream...

However, my husband will probably splurge on a nice bottle of something. Assuming that, I'll be happy to partake at least a little bit, too!

[niyad]

97. The ice cream is good! I love the house brand dark chocolate chunk raspberry

at my store. Wicked good!

[calimary]

126. I love the very sound of it!

Dark chocolate chunk raspberry ice cream! Just the thought is delicious!

[niyad]

127. It is yummmmmmm

[Katinfl]

53. Did you ever think you would see the day when you were actually looking forward to,

and planning for the demise of the president? Never thought I would see the day and it took me a while before I admitted it, but when I did I realized I was far from alone. I think we all realize this won’t be over until he is literally “gone”. Cannot come soon enough. I pray I live to see the day as we are both about the same age.

[niyad]

57. I would cheerfully have raised a glass for the demise of ANY one of

the "r" presidents since Ike, but never with the disgust and loathing I have for this one! One of my professors told our class that, even though it seemed impossible at the time, there would eventually be someone worse than nixon. How horribly correct he was!

[soldierant]

70. I wish I were certain it would be over then.

Russell Voght and Stephen Miller will still be alive, and I expect JDV to cooperate fully with them - and others.

I'm 41 years with no alcohol myself and really don't want to change that. So I'll have to come up with something celebratory that isn't alcoholic. But I will think of something.

[niyad]

78. Of course it will not be over, since the ones actually running things

will still be there. But the bright shiny orange cult leader will be gone.

[mwmisses4289]

86. There are recipes for mocktails out there.

I know i will be looking for my favorite non alcoholic prosecco, Nosecco Prosecco. Or a six pack of one of my favorite non alcoholic beers.

[niyad]

98. Thank you for that excellent reminder.

[malaise]

55. Blue Nun. 😀😀

[niyad]

60. But of course! I know you will have a sufficiency on hand.

[malaise]

64. Harder to find these days

Damn German shop closed😀

[niyad]

72. That just sucks!

[niyad]

99. Should I plan on shipping you cases of it?

[malaise]

109. LOL

Thanks but there are still a few places that have it. The German shop was on my regular route. I have more than enough for what will be the greatest party on the planet.😀

[niyad]

112. Okay. You had me worried for a minute! Glad it is still available!

The offer stands as backup.

[malaise]

113. Thanks

😀

[Traildogbob]

56. The world will

Party the likes of which has never been seen.
And Fox will be wailing in horror and fear. And making room to rehire all the cabinet members that left to grift and end democracy, and lie.
Wine will flow here. But in moderation cause I wanna be able to party for days and savor it.

[niyad]

61. A most excellent idea!

[Iggo]

58. I quit about 30 years ago...

…actually, 10,532 days ago, but who’s counting.

However, on that very special and happy occasion, I’ll accept a shot if it’s offered.

[niyad]

63. Then we must find something very special.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

59. I'm not a big wine drinker

I prefer to go whole hog and crack open the Laphroiag for maximim damage. 😏

[niyad]

62. That is a most excellent choice. I don't have any quite that quality, but

still acceptable.

[Prairie_Seagull]

65. If there was ever a reason for a DUfete.

Hell, I'm in.

[niyad]

74. A most excellent idea.

[chowmama]

69. I have two nice bottles of Spanish Cava waiting.

I don't know if they're getting impatient, but I am.

[niyad]

79. You are in good company.

[SWBTATTReg]

71. Just a hunch for you wine lovers, for those bottles of wine/champagne/etc. w/ corks in them, make sure you lay the

bottles on their sides so the corks of the bottles won't dry out. A trick I learned when making my homemade wine and then bottling it.

[niyad]

80. A most excellent reminder!

[Aristus]

73. I'm going to have to procure more than one bottle.

One to drink straight up in celebration. The other for cocktails that call for the bubbly.

The celebration will be reminiscent of the USSR’s celebration of the end of World War II, when fucking Russia ran out of fucking vodka!…

[niyad]

82. A very good plan. I hopee we do not emulate them in running out

of goodies!

How are you doing tonight?

[Aristus]

87. I will spare you any detail other than

the bleeding seems to have stopped.

Thank you for your kindness.

[niyad]

103. hugggggs

[Dave Bowman]

77. Is beer OK? That's all I have.

[niyad]

81. Whatever your chosen libation is will be just fine.

[Ilsa]

85. I'm gonna look for that Prosecco! Thanks for the tip! nt

[niyad]

101. You are most welcome.

[RainCaster]

91. As an alcoholic, I prefer a root beer float

With vanilla ice cream

[niyad]

102. That is also good. I do the float with vanilla cream soda, or pepsi.

Different, I know, but very good!

[LeftInTX]

92. I will finally break open my vintage bottle of Mateus Rose

[niyad]

104. Oh, my goodness. Have not seen one of those in ages. A rare treasure.

[LeftInTX]

121. I don't have one anymore. I got the pic on internet! Thought I would have some fun on this thread.

I had an empty bottle when I was in high school. My parents gave it to me. In art class, we were required to do a still life. I copied the Mateus Rose bottle along with a bowl of fruit.

A year later, I put a candle in the neck of the bottle and let the wax flow down the bottle. We also had another bottle and did the same thing. The bottles would come out when we had spaghetti. They eventually disappeared when we moved. Who thought they would discontinue the bottle? It was so beautiful.

Lots of bottles are for sale on ebay. They run for about $15.

[GoodRaisin]

93. I will be toasting with a Willamette Valley Pinot of 2014 vintage

which I decided to save in great anticipation of the Big Beautiful Day!

[niyad]

105. A most excellent choice!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

94. Lol

[niyad]

106. !!!

[Morbius]

95. Alcohol does nasty things to my digestive system.

I will not be drinking.

But I will dance, and sing (Hosanna!), and there will be great rejoicing everywhere I go.

[niyad]

107. He makes us all sick enough as it is, so definitely do not risk you health.

Hosana indeed!!! I am reminded of that number in "1776", which I watch around the Fourth each year.

[Buns_of_Fire]

108. We now have the perfect name for the upcoming federal holiday: Big Beautiful Day.

To take its place among the other great American holidays like Independence Day, Veterans Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day... Big Beautiful Day, the day Emperor Taco assumes room temperature for the good of all mankind. Precise date to be announced.

[niyad]

114. Celebrated around the world.

[peacebuzzard]

110. I prefer a Pilsner for that day.

Easy to store, and I keep a couple on the ready for the big beautiful day.
The way he is deteriorating the orange idiot is very close to his day.

[niyad]

115. That works, as well!

[lonely bird]

111. Don't drink so...

Caffeine free Diet Pepsi and chocolate chip cookies and maybe chocolate chip ice cream

[niyad]

116. Excellent choices!

[FailureToCommunicate]

117. We're ready! I loved this ad "Social Security" from the '90s...

[niyad]

119. A most worthy choice. I never saw that ad, but so apropos!

[JohnnyRingo]

123. This occasion is much of what keeps me hanging in there.

I don't want to miss the revelry, partying in the streets and celebratory gunfire.

[niyad]

128. Same here!

[Trailrider1951]

124. Great reminder, Niyad

Here's to the Day It Happens!
And for those of us who don't drink alcohol, may I recommend a chilled glass of Martinelli's?
https://www.martinellis.com/sparkling/
Available at most grocery stores, and at a tasty low price as well.

[niyad]

129. I have some lovely organic Martinelli's for the occasion as well.

A most excellent reminder.

[MontanaMama]

125. First of all. Excellent OP!

I was just texting my cousin about the bottle of bubbly that I’ve got chilling. I chose it because it’s a beautiful sparkling wine from one of my favorite NW wineries. It makes me happy to see her snuggled in my fridge just waiting to be popped and enjoyed when the inevitable good news hits the airwaves. All that said, you’re correct about the $7.99 bottle of Prosecco at Costco, niyad. It’s quite good. I believe it has a DOCG designation which is one of the things I look for in an Italian wind.

Let’s manifest this, people.

[niyad]

130. Thank you. We are so very fortunate to have such an abundance

of excellent bubblies from which to choose. Your description of yours made me smile. iI was impresed to see that designation on the bottle.

[Tree Lady]

131. I still have my bottle of pink champagne

I bought for when Harris won sitting in my wine cooler. Every time I look at it I get depressed she lost so I can't drink it. But if fuck face finally dies, yes that might the correct occasion.

[niyad]

132. I can well understand. And I agree that his demise would be the correct

occasion.
