You mean the guy who said he wanted to build a wall around his state yesterday?

It is a seasonal business that has been slowly dying, so he is in pretty rough shape at the end of winter nowadays. Just when spring was about to start, and people are starting to trickle in, the government wanted to shut him down. He said that if they shut him down then, his business would be gone within a month, and if he couldn't find another job, he would probably lose his house too in 6 months or less.

He said "**** it", and opened anyway. He said that if the "authorities" came to him and at gunpoint ordered him to close, he would, but that is what it would take. About 3 days in, someone from the governor's "task force" paid him a little visit. He made his case why bike shops should be "essential", and it must have been a good case, because a few days after that, bike shops were added to the essential business list.

Many businesses were not as successful fighting this bullshit.

Just yesterday, governor Murphy kicked the small business owner again. For weeks, indoor dining with restricted capacity was set to open on Thursday 7/2. Now that the restaurants have bought food, and hired staff for the reopening, Murphy announced last night that indoor dining is now suspended indefinitely. It's like they are trying to put as many businesses into bankruptcy as possible.
Maybe he should have become a .gov worker with free lifetime health benes, and 6 weeks paid vacation.
Problem solved.

Sad that the haters condone this type of governing.

It didn't just start with Dirty Don...it's been going on.
Criticizing is easy, coming up with workable solutions in this shitshow admin and congress, not so much.

Yes. It has. Since Clinton pretty much.

A lot of new is fake. No doubt about that. But also a lot of it is not. Hard not to get brainwashed in these crazy times. The Rubin piece is an op-ed, but supported by quotes that probably are true.

I did bro...
I sharp like a pallet of sod...hard to sneak one past me.


This admin. wouldn't be a sh1tshow if everybody worked together like normal humans.
Having a differing opinion is one thing, stopping progress out of spite is another.
Some of these people have been holding office for 15, 20, 25+ years...they have done nothing but point fingers of fault.
A total lack of respect, courtesy, and common manners toward each other.
This is the view these young impressionable kids are watching.

Yep.
The hypocrisy, bigotry, hate mongering and race baiting reinforce that very ideology.
People are getting fired, threatened, ridiculed, sometimes assaulted just for agreeing that one particular policy or the other on the conservative side is good.
Look what Kavanaugh had to endure.
Covenington Catholic teens endured.

Unfortunately I have to use most of my brain power for my job, not debating politics here.

I agree 100% with what you said. Even the sharp like a pallet of sod comment.

You should fish in that bayou behind your house...fishing creates brain cell growth in most people.

I decided not to try and sale your car this morning.

Not only that but the left wants silence from any dissenters with their beliefs.

Just look at the people going after other people's livelihood when someone speaks out.

I have seen it on FB. Mob mentality. The doxxing and getting people fired from their jobs.

Direct attack on the 1st Amendment and those who support the left is complicit in destroying the Constitution.


**** them.

Well, I'll be damned. It does look like those people are inside a fenced in detention center.

They are not separated from their children, so that must happen somewhere else.

I would imagine the best way to deal with this type of scenario is to not sneak across the border.

I'm pretty sure if I decided to sneak in to Mexico and take up residence, upon being caught, I am probably not going to the Marriott for processing.

Is that real? I didn't see anything about keeping out-of-staters out, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did. That was Cuomo's solution to the problem AFAIK.
