The first error was when the population went along with the “15 days to flatten the curve” bullchit. As soon as the scum sucking politicians saw that the people were going along with that they knew that they could do what ever they wanted.
And they have.
There should have been a couple of tar & feathered pseudocrats wandering around the countryside that day.
Now we have every wannabe dictator in the country trying to establish their position and each day ups the price that will need to be paid to correct this situation.
If that correction happens, it ain't going to be pretty.

No gatherings for religious purpose such as Church or synagogue prayers or a Catholic Mass.//// Uh, I suppose it’s alright.

No booze allowed starting at 6 pm.////What?! Where’s the nearest riot? I’m all in. This is tyranny.

Not true. Sales are banned only at bars and restaurants. Liquor is still available—you just have to purchase it from the state. No, seriously. PA has “state stores”.

Apparently, the idiocy has no end because many in the electorate love this stuff.

IMHO

Don’t know about pick up, but in N.Y. it’s the biggest drinking nite. Even bigger than New Years eve.

Unintentionally funny of Whitmer and her goons in Michigan was the explanation for mid year rounds of lockdowns.

Kept abortion mills wide open and ordered Michigan State Police to guard entrances ( Because it's "for women's health").

Elective surgery and other activities at all hospitals shut down. Churches and synagogues closed down for any gatherings or ceremonies. Schools closed to in person classes. Restaurants closed to indoor dining.

Marijuana stores stay open (Critics found it was to get the tax revenues from sales)

And liquor sales okay: "Because studies have shown alcholo dependent people resort to violence and unruly behavior if abruptly cut of from liquor supply." True story.

And it knows time zones, and standard vs daylight time.

Hey, what if I don’t reset my clocks from PDT to PST?

Will that fake out the virus?

Or if I unplug my clock at 9:59 pm?

When people start drinking alcohol, they stop washing their hands and start shoving their fingers up their nose and licking door knobs. Everybody knows that.

Or maybe that’s just me?

“ lThe whole curfew thing makes no sense to me. The virus is more contagious at night?”

Inhibitions get lowered with social lubricants as the night draws on and people start swapping fluids, not to mention people begin to scream in each other’s faces to hear when the music creeps up to volume 11

He probably wasn’t elected by the people - just deemed elected by the fraud machine. I don’t trust ANY election at this point. It’s all a scam!

I'll be busy cooking and cleaning Wednesday evening, however my daughter had plans to go out. I texted her yesterday afternoon when this unconstitutional edict was announced. By the time she got home from work she arranged with her boyfriend a blow out party. Around 11 pm at least 100 people confirmed they will be going. Her boyfriend has a rather small home so it will be tightly packed. Ironic, that is contrary to what the DICKtator wants.

My daughter and her friends (mostly conservatives) don't buy into the scamdempic. They certainly go around what these tyrants force all the time.

This is human nature. People have a need to socialize and they will socialize. I'm not the least bit concerned.

Someone tell me how this prevents the spread of Controlavirus* just like the 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM curfew Grabbin’ Nuisance put in place.

*Controlavirus - noun: a scamdemic that is used to terrorize populations for purpose of controlling said populations.

Wolf is a true Dictator.

As is every democrat.

This has NOTHING to do with COVID.

I'm sure many Pennasylvanians will be crossing the state line somewhere to buy their booze.

Or the stores will be mobbed tonight and during the day tomorrow.

He is not going to stop people but he sure is going to P!$$ them off.
