Staten Island pub owner Keith Maclarny holds a press conference outside of his bar Mac's Public House. Maclarny is among many business owners who had to close their doors in result of COVID spikes in New York.

Quotes from the videos:

"De Blasio and Cuomo have told the people that if you stand up to the emperor, you get crushed."

"The ignorance is so high that on national television they find it funny that small business owners are trying to feed their families while millionaires sit in their perch."

He goes on to decry the mocking by SNL and others.

The "little people" have had enough.

Even in New York, they are rising up against the elite tyrants.

Is Staten Island a conservative stronghold or something? That language I usually see only from our side; the left tends to moan and groan and surrender, not take on TPTB.

The no talent class clown level comic, Pete Davidson, is gonna have a hard time walking around in his ‘hood. I expect he’ll be groveling out yet another
non-apology soon.

A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.

Americans better WISE UP/
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier. The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we play our Chinese checkers right we can really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts With a Biden win kiss this goodbye

Our own dp0622 might have an opinion on that . . .

He’s a Staten Islander.

The "little people" have had enough.

Some little people.

I don't think a single government "worker" has missed a paycheck. There hasn't been a single performance at the Metropolitan Opera since March but the stagehands and many others are still getting paid. Nice work if you don't have to do it.

I know NYers get a lot of flack but Staten Island is a stronghold for the GOP. It’s the only bastion of sanity in the NYC metro area. Although, I think Long Island went Trump as well.

We think too much of republican states and democrat states. There are a lot of damned good Americans behind enemy lines in California, Illinois, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, and even New York. Also, there are some damned rotten communist counties in Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania etc....

I prefer that county by county vote map. From what I understand, Staten Island is good Americans.

Not quite. Of the two counties on Lawn Guyland, Nassau (where I grew up), went for Biden quite handily. Has not voted GOP since 1988 in a presidential election. Suffolk, which has a lot more blue collar and “middle middle” class white folk went for Trump twice, albeit not by a huge margin.

Ironic thing is that Staten Island has a YUGE amount of government employees and they all “tawk like dis.” Its an outlier as it has a lot of white non college graduates and is I believe the only Catholic majority borough in NYC.

Meanwhile the private sector college educated denizens of Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, and the Upper West/East sides would not be caught dead voting for Trump.

I won’t disparage LEO’s either but, when you throw your integrity away to damage a fellow citizen you demonstrate you are in charge and that respect is gone.

No they won’t. Stop shooting them down.

Most of NYC is literally one-party, and there’s either no other candidate to vote for than the Dem or some GOPer who is so out of the loop that he or she is completely unheard of and also has no money to get heard.

This is a golden opportunity to get good candidates and get lots of voters, because even some Dems I know are completely furious.

However, that all depends on the next week or so. If the Biden-Harris creature gets in, it’s all over. It will be the “mask mandate” or even possibly a three month national shutdown in January enforced by the military. We need to hope and pray for Trump, but we also need to prepare for the worst.

And we need to gain allies, not drive them away.

Would be hard to get good candidates there. Catch 22.

Trump won Staten Island by 15 points and voted for a Republican in the House.

To be fair, NY and other Dem-heavy places are the only ones that really can.. Everywhere is is half-assed enough to not really be able to rise up against much..
