Luxury venues are always the first to go. I have not eaten out in months.
The good part is that my diet has been healthier since I'm cooking my own food. The bad part is I'm never caught up doing dishes.
Yep.
And anyone blaming him needs to be asked seriously what the response would have been if in February or March, President Trump ordered lockdowns, quarantines, masks, curfews, and shuttered "non-essential" businesses.
Would liberals have been cool with this? Or would they have called Trump a dictator?
I got a cheeseteak to go from a local pizza place the other day, it was odd not cooking for once
Trump did not close a single business
Funny how everything always gets blamed on the highest ranking republican.
If we had a democrat president, they would be blaming republican governors, and in NYS Cuomo would be blaming the republican dog catcher in Wayne county
And half the country will believe it while the other half won't. I'm with Trump and MAGA and frankly I don't give a snit what the other side believes.
Thanks a lot, Dr. Faucci.
They are lying about the numbers! Every person with a fever, no matter what it’s from, is counted as a positive EVEN IF COVID TEST IS NEGATIVE. There is no logical scientific explanation for this at all.
Therefore, they are artificially inflating case numbers and closing businesses because they WANT the economy to collapse!
If you work anywhere in the medical field now, there are so many rules and regulations it’s pitiful. They are also making money off this by forcing healthcare workers to have two covid tests per WEEK. Facilities must pay for this.

Illinois is getting rich.....I just got a bill from the state for $18.00 for unpaid tolls.
Apparently they are NOT manning toll booths because of COVID, so a camera records your license plate going through the unmanned booths and then bills you.
My son had gone through 4 booths a few weeks back for a total of $6.00 in tolls but then they charge you $12.00 to send you a bill. UNFREAKINBILIEVABLE!

My oft-stated description of the Democrats' MO: "The Democrats perpetrate bad stuff, then blame Republicans for what the Democrats themselves perpetrated."
So, this thread provides still another great example: The Democrat Party Cabal (including Democrat governors, Marxist BLM/Antifa, Comma-La/sleepy joe, FoulXi, Democrat mayors, CCP leaders/Wu-Flu, RINOs, the fake-news MSM, etc.) conspired, destabilized, and permanently shuttered huge numbers of small businesses throughout the U.S., then blame the Republican President Trump for what the Democrat Party Cabal itself perpetrated.
Hey, Democrats, please continue providing even more examples that further prove my oft-stated, indisputable allegation regarding the Democrats' MO. Thank you!
The business closures are NOT due to the pandemic.
They are due to a deliberate policy of Democrat politicians to spread human suffering and human misery and to destroy the middle class.
San Francisco started doing this a few years ago - all toll booths have been decommissioned and now a camera takes a photo of your license plate and sends you the bill to pay the toll.
A local told me the toll booth operators were about to go on strike so the state switched to an automated system.
And yes, they’re making money. A lot of it. I paid my toll but received a letter a few weeks later stating that I had put in the wrong information and therefore was being charged a late fee - which doubled the price of the toll. Tried to call, put on hold and an endless möbius strip of buttons to press. Ended up paying the double toll just to make it all end - I knew the fine would start increasing exponentially the longer I didn’t pay it.
We do NOT recover from THIS!!! Lives and futures destroyed. Thanks Nancy!
“This will be blamed on Trump for the next four years”
Won’t work for Biden. Wrong pigment and a poor public speaker. Getting worse by the day, literally.
that’s funny, I keep thinking about asking my brothers and sisters to send cheese steaks down here to Texas. The only problem is if a real cheese steak was sent in a package it would have grease oozzing out.
That's RACIST, you misogynistic, xenophobic Republican monster!
P.S. Whoops, I think I may be drinking a little too much of the Democrats' all-new "2020 Election-Fraud" flavored Kool-Aid. Sorry. Never mind.
Straight from the Commie handbook:
"Always accuse your victim (or your adversary) of what you yourself are doing."
Quote supposedly attributed to Lenin, but is exactly what the Democrats do.
that’s why cameltoe is soon to be, mark it
