My husband owns a liquor store in NYC and I have told him to research whether he is legally allowed to open during off hours because I don’t care if it’s 2am, everyone is going to want to buy some bubbly.

Many thought things didn’t seem right after the election, when recounts/investigations would have made sense, but we were shut down&shamed by the same influencers/pundits we followed. Dems were afraid to question because they didn’t want to seem “like him” in 2020. That high road got us nowhere.
