Pennsylvania was finally able to overcome the fraud of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and vote read in to the night of nov 8 2016

They couldn’t cheat their way out of it like they usually do

Pennsylvanians are pretty smart and I think we’re going to see at least a 10 point win for Donald Trump this time

Regular Democrats who always vote Democrat have to see what the Democratic Party is now

it is anti-them!!!!

Yes you restaurant owner!!

yes you barbershop!!!

yes you little league team !!

yes you anybody who they considered “nonessential”

all you parents with kids that are small in school!!! all y’all!!!

They could care less how much this hurts you !!and they know this is a complete fraud!!!

Wake up demoncraps!! Wake the hell up !!!

Patronized both Round the Clock Diners in York a couple weeks ago. Going back to PA
next Fri for 5 days or so, all Pitt or western PA (fly/car rental).At least there will be the 25% capacity in Allegheny county.On July 3 and 4 I wound up getting takeout from Mineo’s pizza, Squirrel Hill and Primanti’s Oakland/Pittsburgh with beer or soda and had to take it back to my motel.Indoor-outdoor eatery dining in that
county had just been banned

It can be worse on private clubs.
Liquor control bureau really nitpicks them.
The PA law is being broken by extending emergency longer than 90 days.
Recall or impeach gov and supreme ct.

my local AMERICAN LEGION was just getting back on it’s

feet after the last phony shutdown and WOLFMAN strikes

again. Closed for 3 mos-—NO INCOME but monthly

expenses-—insurance, utilities, maintenance etc.

Employees got on unemployment, got off & now back on!!

Ignore his orders. He cannot possibly arrest and detain the entire population of Pennsylvania.

Now, read my tag line.

BINGO

With all of Tommie the Commie’s lockdown orders the “non essential” businesses that were most singled out and scrutinized were:

Barbers - Licensed by Department of Health
Beauticians - Licensed by Department of Health
Restaurants - Licensed by Department of Agriculture
Bars & Clubs - Licensed by Bureau of Liquor Control

The state issued license hangs like the sword of Damoclese.

Tyrants do not think. They do not care about anyone. They only care about their political objective - destroy Trump. All of these restaurants reopened weeks ago from the original shutdown. They had to cajole their staff in coming back to work instead of taking unemployment. A lot of restaurant workers were making more money on unemployment than working and simply did not return.

The gap between reopening and Wednesday's change in rules was spent by restaurant managers and owners adapting to a partial business, that is if they could even afford to reopen or find the staff to do so. Wednesday's rule changes now sends restaurant workers back to the street because their workplaces are now overstaffed. Or they get sent back to the streets because the restaurant cannot afford to operate at 25% of capacity.

Another twist to all this is that a lot of people in the restaurant business, the ones that wanted to work, went looking for new jobs because it is just a real pain in the ass to work short staffed. There has been a consolidation of employees to the best restaurants. What if they got a new job and were to start that job after Wednesday? They quit their previous job and now are left hanging. My daughter, who is a restaurant GM is in exactly this situation. Fortunately, her new job is secure. At least for now, because where she is going is already so short staffed business that they are still clamoring for bodies. Hopefully her job will continue to be available.

That situation is not the same everywhere. Overhead in the restaurant biz is big. This is going to push a lot of owners into bankruptcy. They haven't had cash flow because of the original shutdown, and an even further degraded occupancy puts them deeper in the red.

Politicians don't know jack schiff about running a small business. And even if they did have experience with a business, they certainly didn't have experience in everyone else's business. So that leaves them utter clueless about the demands they are placing on businesses.

This is why I was stark raving mad yesterday. I swear that I will screw every Rat that I have a chance to. Paybacks are going to be a world of hurt.

Supreme Court already sided with Wolf because the state is in a state of emergency, which he’s refused to change.

BTW They’re also presenting a bill limiting a Governor’s emergncy power’s to 30 days...curretnly Wolf can extend it at will.

Look, the guy wants federal dollars and flat out said that he wouldn’t lift the emergency declaration because he’d loose those dollars........In other words he’s happy to let PA businesses suffer to pad the states and his own coffers.....he’s a massive control freak!!!!

Private clubs are under the same restrictions and it is no easy matter to change from a public to a private liquor license.

Don't get me start of liquor laws in PA. The LCB is caulk full of lazy ass union/state employees. Imagine getting a job at a State Store as a clerk. (Yeah, I know they are called Wine and Spirits stores now, but it they are nothing compared to privately owned establishments in other states.) You get a full pension, full medical benefits and paid holidays, vacation and personal leave. All of that for running a damn cash register that any 15 year old can do. These scum have no shame. They are not makers. They are takers through the threats of their thug unions. I can't wait until PA teacher and employee unemployment fund goes belly up. They'll wish that they actually did something with their lives. Let them rot in their old age. Karma is a bitch.

Democrat politicians are targeting businesses whose owners typically are large republican donors.

Remember the Chrysler bailout?

As part of that all Chrysler dealerships owned by republicans r=were shut down.

Democrats are trying to starve large Trump and/or republican donors.

I’ve been in PA for forty years; what I see most is a bunch of sheeple...

I think we both have come to the conclusion that it is time to wave goodbye to this f&$#ing state as soon as possible...
