BATFU-Twin* Declares Supremacy Over First Amendment

Weed brewer Vaune Dillmann faces possible sanctions or fines from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau* if he continues to brew and sell beer with bottle caps printed with the label "Try Legal Weed."
Yep, this is what the federal power junkies have nothing better to stone out on, all courtesy of the tone set and authorized by "The Vote Freedom First President."

This is the level of control the Masters strung out on authority abuse insist on. And their message is unmistakeably clear: Obey or be destroyed.

Is it me or is there something in the air today? The absurdist outrages just keep rolling in.

* The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, shortened to Tax and Trade Bureau or TTB, is a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury. On January 24, 2003, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (the Act) split functions of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), into two new organizations with separate functions. First, the Act established The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) under the Department of the Treasury. Second, the Act transferred certain law enforcement functions from Treasury to the Department of Justice. The ATF was transferred to the Justice Department and was renamed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Founders recommended that everyone with land grow hemp, for making rope for American ships so they could go and blow tyrants' ships out of the water. I think that tradition lasted until well into World War II.
The bottle caps DO say "LEGAL" Weed. Our Overseers have a problem with even that? That's why cancer patients with a prescription for medical marijuana are prosecuted. The government would rather have them die of malnutrition due to chemotherapy nausea.
Now THAT'S SICK.

Ah, now I see why the Frito Bandito was put out to pasture. Drawing of a man carrying a gun on a snack package probably irked the BATFU to no end.

BATFE=Bunches of Assholes Totally Fucked-up Evermore.

You would think they wouldn't want to publicly display such stupidity, until one realizes in their arrogance they don't realize they are stupid.
