    Country singer-songwriter Travis Tritt announced on Twitter that he would be removing Anheuser-Busch products from his tour hospitality rider amid pushback the company is receiving after beer giant Bud Light celebrated transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney in a new promotion.

    "I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same," Tritt wrote on Twitter Wednesday evening.

    Hours later, the multi-platinum-selling artist shared a second tweet that included a photo of Ru Paul’s Drag Race show teaming up with Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey company.

    "All the Jack Daniels drinkers should take note," he wrote.

    Gotta love the divide along perceived cultural lines.

    I imagine that Travis Tritt fans buy a crap-ton more Budweiser than the total population of men wearing dresses.

    In case anyone wants to avoid Anheuser-Busch beers, good luck, just memorize this list.

    It’s a psychological mind blower. Even if I drank and it was the only beer available, I think I would find it difficult to bring myself to buy it.
    If it was Jenner on the can, it might stand a better chance than having a psycho who wayyyy over exaggerates how a woman is supposed to act as their spokesperson. Kinda reminds me of Richard Simmons.

    Gotta admit though. The dude went from rags to riches in a very short period of time.

    The only thing more depressing than these digital media celebrities making millions by being a performing idiot is the seemingly endless supply of fools making them rich by watching.

    The larger the population, the smaller the market share one must garner in order to become filthy rich. And I still believe there are outside funds supporting this stuff...this is not the vox (or pecunia) populi.

    All they have to do is fund the hosting platforms that pay "per click," and use those sites to distribute the funds to the "celebrities." I wonder if the process for determining each ijit's number of clicks and the subsequent dollars distributed would survive an audit.

    And then there's the corporate sponsorship...

    I recently saw a man in a dress with a blonde long wig, full make up and handbag and high heeled boots, he looked ridiculous to be honest.

    I moved to this rural area in 2010. My first week here I walked into a Dollar Store and there was a guy (late teens?) in the cosmetics department wearing makeup the amateurish way a new-at-it girl might. At first I was shocked, because I had never seen that in all my decades living in the DC suburbs, much less expect it here in the sticks. Then I felt bad for him. He looked so uncomfortable.

    I bet he looked ridiculous!
    I'm not sure where this was reported as a colleague told me about it, apparently a young lad went into a boutique to try on prom dresses, the lady who owns the boutique told him her dresses were for young girls and chased him out of her boutique. Good on her.

    So much of this is just giving young lads an invitation to act out their youthful inappropriateness. They are at the Testing (and Violating) Boundaries age.

    That's the way I felt when I wore a polka-dot shirt to school once. I feel better now.

    Sadly if that happened in the US, the "boy" would be able to sue the boutique owner and she would be ostracized on social media. Pathetic how a handful of mentally ill individuals now get to say how we normal people live.
