Lockhouse Distillery Releases Artist Series Pride Label Vodka

In Honor of Buffalo Pride Week  2019

Lockhouse Distillery & Bar will be releasing a Pride Label Vodka – the latest entry in their Artist Series – on Tuesday, May 28th, 2019 at 7pm, at 41 Columbia Street in Buffalo’s Historic Cobblestone District.  Buffalo’s first distillery to operate since Prohibition has teamed up with local artist Mickey Harmon to design a limited edition label for their signature vodka that honors the contributions of Stonewall activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, in addition to celebrating the diversity of the entire LGBTQ+ community.  $4 from every bottle sold will be donated directly to the Pride Center of Western New York.

“Lockhouse proudly holds fundraising events throughout the year to benefit both the Pride Center of Western New York and the Evergreen Foundation,” said Thomas Jablonski, Lockhouse Partner.  “When the opportunity came up to expand on our Artist Series label collection, celebrating Buffalo Pride Week was the obvious choice.  We knew that Mickey Harmon was up to the task, and he delivered a captivating, beautiful, and inclusive design that goes beyond the standard homogenous imagery people sometimes associate with Pride.”

Lockhouse Pride Label Vodka will be available at Lockhouse for $35 per bottle during and after the release party.  A special vodka cocktail menu will be served at the bar for the event.  Bottles will not be available in stores.  All sales are first come, first serve.  As this is a limited release, bottles will only be available until the distillery sells out.

‘Trump was not a rubber stamp’: Experts claim Trump Org witness just destroyed key defense



A witness in Donald Trump's criminal trial Monday revealed that all personal checks from the ex-president's account were personally signed by him, reporters said.

This includes the "reimbursement" that he sent his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, after he allegedly paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about a sexual relationship with Trump.

This is according to the testimony from Deborah Tarasoff, the Trump Organization employee who processed the invoices submitted by Cohen for reimbursement. She then cut the checks and stapled them to the top of the invoices.

Tarasoff explained that any check that Trump didn't want to pay would have VOID written over the top in Sharpie. He did it often, and it wasn't unusual. However, the checks for Cohen were signed, she said.

Checks were sent to Trump in Washington via FedEx, Tarasoff continued. An email on Feb. 14, 2017, told her to pay and post the expenses that Cohen had submitted.

This testimony weakens Trump's lawyers' possible argument that he would sign anything that came across his desk.

Speaking to MSNBC, legal analysts Charles Coleman, Tristan Snell and Joyce Vance all agreed that the information the witness provided was harmful to Trump's defense.

"That's critical because what you can't do now if you're Donald Trump's defense attorneys is say that, look, his signature had to go on everything, so he became a rubber stamp for anything and everything in front of him," Coleman explained. "It's important to understand that now we're getting closer and closer to the actual legal legality."

Thus far, he said, the case has been about salacious things — the affair and Trump's comments on the "Access Hollywood" tape, for example.

Now, the trial is turning toward the documents that prove the case.

"Donald Trump can no longer say I was paying Michael Cohen for legal services," Coleman said. "You're paying out of your own personal account. That was a big part of it. It's going to come out as more documents are presented, as well as the why, to conceal another crime. That's also what the prosecution has been doing during the testimony of other witnesses and what it's been putting out."

Vance agreed.

"That's right, she can do that, and she does even more because the real issue in this case is proving what Donald Trump knew, and she has testified that the checks are stapled to invoices, and that's how it goes to Donald Trump for approval," Vance said. "And, you know, as Tristan and Charles were saying, Trump was not a rubber stamp; he was carefully scrutinizing these things."
