I know a Trump supporter here in town; and on his ca$h register is a sign that reads, “English Spoken Here.”

Nobody EVER questioned it...

Go, Trump, GO!

“English Spoken Here” is simply a statement, not a demand or command.
It can be taken as a statement of fact or expectation.
It’s hard enough keeping some restaurants open nowadays. I guess his family just wants to cook and sell food, not preach or legislate. They are being honest about what now takes priority in their lives. The original owner was also being honest, and did what he though was necessary at that time. I salute his efforts. I’m sure he got some pushback from the No-Borders groups.

The son is a liberal INGRATE.

His dad's wish before he died was to make sure that sign sign stayed up!

Better sandwich and not the hassle.

A lot of people think quotation marks are for emphasis.

Damn,
Couple years ago, the wife and i went to Pittsburgh on the day the pink ribbon march was ongoing.
Getting around the city was a nightmare for an outsider.
Beautiful but we couldn’t go from point A, To point B.
We did get to the church brew works but still?

Traffic in the 'burgh is especially designed to confuse outsiders. Each neighborhood has their own traffic pattern to specifically confuse anyone from outside the neighborhood.

And don't even get me started on the local habit of saving street parking with lawn chairs or burning couches to celebrate the backyard brawl between WVU and Pitt.
