We have to keep reiterating that Hogan did not open restaurants. He is “allowing” people to sit outside and eat. Do not fall for the language that Maryland is opening. More lies. Wake up Marylanders!

Masks must be worn as well, correct?

Hungry Hogan fails to realize he will not be Govenor for ever

he has his primary residence in Ocean City,

and will have to live with the City he screwed over.

Can you see the places ACTUALLY enforcing this? It sounds good in theory and conversation, but it won't happen. We all know how things sound, but how they are implemented are 2 different things.

Sorry to tell you but if you haven’t received the stimulus check by now, it isn’t coming your way. I really hate to tell you but someone should. Do there it is.

Sorry

It is difficult to assume Mr Hogan fails to realize time will continue to move forward. The character of Governor will end for him.

8:30-where is that stated? I have seen that you can have more than six if you are from the same household,but up to six as a total in any party. Either way,these rules are a joke. Who is going to be enforcing them?

Sweet! Can't wait to finally sit outside and eat. This is the perfect time of year for outdoor dining. With the limited capacity it might be hard to find a spot but I'll try.
