Trump Administration Accomplishments
https://www.whitehouse.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/
All of the foregoing are documented and true. And yet not once, literally NOT ONE TIME, did you come here to say, "Wow, he is doing a great job on x, or y."
Instead, you pine for President Bowing Foodstamps and the continued decline of American manufacturing.
But hey, you obviously see great things for China, right Tibs? I mean, it's not like the Chinese are lying genocidal murderers.

Not the greatest food but they put a big honking wedge of lime in your Corona and not a little sliver like most bars.
Also Libs have no sense of humor or sense of sarcasm, so that doesn’t help their cause either.
Second only to O'Charley's in my book. The wife and I went to the O'Charley's in Noblesville about 2 years ago and I ordered a Sirloin...came out and the steak was bad...not bad as in chewy, bad as in stinking rotten meat bad. I complained to the manager, who proceeded to ask me if I wanted a new steak. Nope, I'll just choke down the rotten one genius. So he finally brings me another steak 55 minutes later, after my wife was done eating. The waiter brings me my bill, and nothing is taken off of it. I asked the manager if he seriously was not taking anything off our meal, and he replied "you got your steak, so no." Last time I will ever step foot in an O'Charley's restaurant again.
Unless it's a joke about conservatives, then they think they are George Carlin funny.

Nah, more like jokes about Trump supporters, not conservatives per se. Those two things are not one and the same. In fact, Trump supporters turned their backs on conservative values many moons ago. That's part of the problem.
I've never been to O'Charley's. BTW, Morton's is closing permanently.
I heard that from a friend that is a bartender there. Sadly I think it is just a start for restaurants closing. This 50% capacity and the fact that most restaurants are returning the money from the PPP because of the uncertainty are going to decimate that industry. Now you have Hogsett only allowing outdoor dining...well that is brilliant, the restaurants have to rehire staff, but if it rains you are SOLJWF. The outcome of this whole "pandemic" is going to be far worse than the virus itself.

Actually that's the beauty of Trump. And that's why he draws supporters from both sides of the aisle.;

How about veggies? Got to love tomato juice in your beer.
what the actual ****? I'd tag Flog, but since it's still got that snot bubble in its nose, while clutching a teddy bear and covering up with a security blanket with the front door barred, it won't do any good.

Check your bills: Some businesses are adding a COVID-19 surcharge
May 18, 2020 at 12:01 PM CDT - Updated May 18 at 12:06 PM
(Gray News) - You may see increased costs when you get your bill at establishments like restaurants and hair salons, as many are adding a COVID-19 surcharge.
Businesses have been adding the charge to the bill to help cover extra expenses related to the pandemic.
Ozark Cafe in West Plains, Missouri, is one restaurant that has added a 5% surcharge. The owner cited rising food prices and diminished meat supplies as a reason for the levy.
“Every day there’s something else that they can’t get or the prices have gone up exorbitantly,” co-owner Heather Hughes told KY3.
Some restaurant managers and owners have even seen meat prices doubling as a result of the effects of the coronavirus outbreak.
Other restaurants in the West Plains area have advertised the surcharge so customers aren’t surprised when they receive their bill. While not every customer is a fan of the added price, many are understanding of the restaurants’ decisions.
“I absolutely support it," Maylee Stewart said. "I think it’s a good thing for us as a community to help support our local businesses. It’s really not a lot. They’re really not adding too much on to the total. I think mine was 66 cents today, and I’d pay more if they needed it.”
The surcharge is expected to be temporary. One restaurant manager said once food prices return to a sense of normalcy, the surcharge will no longer be seen on customers’ receipts.
It’s not just restaurants adding the surcharge. KVLY reports North Dakota-based M.J. Capelli Family Hair Salons decided to add a COVID-19 surcharge as well. The company released a statement saying it is because state restrictions have increased operating costs.

Food prices, reduced seating capacity, scared people - ****** times to own a restaurant. It's going to be a lot more expensive to eat out for a while.

I think it’s a good idea. Many businesses will have to raise prices due to the higher prices they must pay to the suppliers. Putting this "tax" on there is letting the customer know why they are paying more and it essentially says don’t blame us, blame the shitheads who shut down the economy.
it’s also better for the customer because in a few months, the charge can be removed. The customer always sees the real price. Many businesses who don’t do this may try to keep the increased prices forever and hope nobody notices
**** it’s a **** ton more eating at home too. My grocery bill has doubled for the same items.
Haha. President Trump is on HCQ and zinc. I tend to think he was advised due to the WH outbreak.
Liberals would never, EVER, support suppressing speech, squelching debate, punishing based on race, eviscerating the Constitution, spying on a political opponent, ignoring the 4th amendment, or using the FBI and DOJ to target and lie about citizens for political gain.
Leftists are not liberals, they are power-crazed idiots, too dumb to see that they are Dr. Frankenstein, condemned to be killed by their own creation.
ah, but Flog said there was no disruption to the supply line, so how could there possibly be a shortage of meat? Just go to the grocery store, right?

Hmmmm ... so that's 30 of the 50 states, rated according to the best results vs. the worst. I see common denominators among the worst states. Hey, look at that, similar common denominator for the best run as well!!! Why, it can't be - Republicans are anti-science and encouraging people to die from the Chinese flu but somehow, 12 of the 15 worst locations for the Chinese flu killing people are in (D)im run locations while 12 of the 15 best states are run by (R) governors!!
Wow, almost as if (D)im leadership bad, (R) leadership good for things like not killing their citizens.
