If the political turmoil in this country is driving you to drink, you’re not alone — a bar in Washington, D.C. is taking advantage of the current state of affairs by offering drink discounts based on what happens on Capitol Hill.
RUSSIA RESTAURANT CANCELS DISCOUNT FOR BIG-BREASTED WOMEN AFTER BACKLASH
On Wednesday, D.C. bar The Bird announced on Twitter that they'd be selling $5 “Moscow Muellers” every time special counsel Robert Mueller indicts an associate of President Donald Trump. Mueller is currently investigating potential links between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign.

Not everyone on social media was excited about the discounted drink, however. While some thought it was clever, others accused the bar of stirring controversy.
