Very poor article. Fuck Trump, hope he dies tomorrow. But I'm also not willing to give a business owner an automatic pass just because they're on my side.
No where in this article do they actually list WHY their alcohol permit is being revoked. What exactly are they being accused of? Because I could absolutely see some slimy owner with a rat-infested kitchen latching onto politics as a means of shielding their crooked operation. "I'm innocent, they're just trying to silence me!"
Is it possible this is politically motivated? Sure. But the fact that they never actually list the specific reasons why the permit is revoked is damning.
The whole concept of an alcohol license is insane and hilarious.

Something about not paying taxes
Bangstad provided a chart explaining what violations were allegedly in the document from the DOR. Those include unauthorized running of a retail outlet, violation of shipping laws and untaxed beer possession in an unpermitted warehouse.
probably inciting violence against Dear Leader.
