I don’t say good things about Charlie Baker very often, but credit where credit is due – he made the unpopular but necessary decision to ban gatherings of 25 people or more and have restaurants and bars only do takeout starting on Tuesday. Look folks, either this is an epidemic or it’s not a big deal. And most people who actually know what they’re talking about (ya know, doctors and scientists) say it’s a big deal. The disease spreads by simply touching things that infected people have touched. It’s probably not gonna kill you if you get it, but a shit ton of people will get it if life goes on as normal, and millions of people could potentially die.
If it is a big deal then there can’t be half measures. We can’t have some events shutting down and other events taking place. There’s still a ton of morons out there doing the whole, “tHe fLu KiLls mOrE pEoPle” thing, so clearly humankind is too stupid to know what to do in the case of an epidemic like this and can’t be trusted to do the right thing on their own. Allow me to quote former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the architect of Cold War policy during the 1950’s.
The government’s job is to protect citizens. And right now that means protect us from the spread of a highly contagious disease. Sure, libertarians will complain, but everyone hates those assholes anyway.
I am aware that this is easy for me to say since I can work from home, and the economic impact this will have on millions of Americans will be like nothing we’ve seen before. The solution to that is simple – more government. It literally exists for shit like this. The government has never been bigger than it was during World War 2. Factories were forced to convert to wartime production, curfews were put in place, professional sports leagues were shut down, non-essential nightclubs were closed, rationing limited what people could buy, and anyone with Japanese ancestry had to live in a camp.
And guess what happened? We won. Because that’s what happens when Americans unite around a dangerous entity that must be destroyed.
In the meantime the government has to do a bunch of liberal shit I’d normally be against:
- Forgive mortgage and rent payments for people who can prove they were forced out of work by the restrictions
- Treat this like an actual war and sell bonds and other things, then use the money to give financial relief to employed people who aren’t collecting paychecks
- Spend billions of dollars on relief to help people who need it (not people like me and others who will continue to get paid, or free loaders who weren’t working before coronavirus)
- Use the power of the federal government to do what Charlie Baker did nationwide. There is no point of having bans like this if you can go to Rhode Island and spread the disease in a crowded bar there
That brings me to this asshole:
His name is Dennis Rack and he’s the manager of the Endicott Grille in Danvers. Today he woke up and decided that he was gonna try out for Turtleboy by posting this dumbassery.
See that? That’s why the government has no choice but to step in. Because morons like this can’t be trusted to do the responsible thing. Newsflash – it’s never gonna stop spreading if we keep doing business as usual. More people will get sick and your business will be affected far worse in the long run.
Just in case it wasn’t clear that he gave zero fucks he added this too….
Here’s my question – who’s the owner? If I owned a business and hired a GM who went out of his way to behave in a manner that ended up with my business being shamed on Turtleboy, I’d probably hire a different GM. Just sayin.
He just couldn’t stop responding to every person who rightfully called him out for being a nudnik.
Hey dipshit – you’re not protecting your workers by increasing the chances that they’ll be exposed to a contagious disease.
And he hosted a St. Patrick’s Day event over the weekend which seemed to be exclusively for people in the demographic that is most likely to get coronavirus and die.
I hope each and every person in those pictures gets coronavirus. They all deserve it.
Oh, and just in case you thought this guy couldn’t get any worse, look who he’s in bed with…
Greg “Master” Bates. The asshole who uses a Facebook group to shakedown north shore restaurants into paying him to eat for free at their restaurant, reports no income, doesn’t pay child support, never gave donated money to an autism charity, rigged gift card giveaways that were won by his Facebook aliases, said that he had to budget sex money in the divorce settlement, and once told his kids he was gonna kill himself for attention.
If you hang around shit too long you start to stink like it.

Can’t wait til election 2 Israeli kiss asses Biden/trump,or the communist Jew Bernie, we lost.
FACT: Trump is handling this FLAWLESSLY.
FACT: The stock market will hit an all-time high by the end of the week.
FACT: Donald Trump WILL be re-elected for his heroics.
FACT: Donald Trump has an 18-inch cock.
Upvote to trigger a lib.
Actually, if things get worse and the National Emergency Order is still in effect, the Election will be canceled, and whoever holds office now who was up for re-election gets a free pass. This means Trump gets 4 more years, “Mr. Frosty” Ed Malarkey gets another 6, and the Jim McGovern et. al. get another 2 years for free.
As a noted right winged redneck, often mocked for my 2A supporting opinions, most common communication I have had from friends and family -all anti gun voters, have asked me if I could lend them a gun so they can protect their homes and families from the soon oncoming marauding hordes. Redemption is sweet.
Give them a gun, but sell them the ammo at toilet paper prices.
The 2017-2018 flu missed these human versions of shallow graves, but did kill 61,000+ people in the USA. Whether this is food for thought or horsemeat for dog opinions is up to youse.
He looks a little bit off. Avoid this establishment like the plague, they don’t care about your well being.
Government please keep me safe I’m so helpless and weak without you
Says a clown we just KNOW is collecting unemployment or welfare
Wow he’s got close cropped hair and a 3 day beard. He must be SO tough! I’m scared!
A thumbs down! Wow is he tough!
Who would ah thunk TB would start shoveling this fear mongering crape like every other fake new association. Well my Voke stash is gone but the need for some cheap labor isnt. When your ready to really toss away your years of wasted education ie south high and umass, I’ll show you how a craftsman and woman supports a family and as a result keeps the shit draining.
Another Uneducated Trumper with a mouth, but no brain
The only reason why this article was posted was because Greg Bates was involved in the comments on their Facebook page. Yawn…
Saying the government’s job is to protect people is one of the dumbest things you’ve ever said. The government’s job is to facilitate commerce. The government can’t protect you. Only you can protect you.
Who will protect us from your stupidity? Tell us, dildo, how you’re gonna protect yourself from the next terrorist attack. Please, put down the Fox News and pick up a book you brainwashed imbecile
Keep sucking the government’s dick.
Turtleboy, you are getting crushed in the comments for your stupid fucking hot take on this. Forget about the endicott grill and masterbates for a second…you think millions of people are going to die from the corona virus? In the usa or the world? Either answer you choose is fucking ridiculous! So, you are saying that this is going to rival the holocaust? Wow, did you really write this? Were you hacked? I hope someone forwards this blog post to kuhner so he can dedicate four hours tomorrow morning absolutely destroying you for this.
Now back to the endicott grill situation…I don’t know about you, but i can’t afford to miss work. I need to earn so that i can pay my bills and save money for future expenses. Im not a restaurant worker, uber driver or anything like that but if governors and the the president start ordering a complete shutdown of this country, then shit will hit the fan. I know that half this country wants that to happen so that it weakens trumps reelection bid but that would cripple us all.
Lastly, if you really believe what you wrote here i think its in your best interest to either stop asking for contributions and reimburse everyone who ever contributed to you. Or donate it all to people who will be affected by not being able to go to work and earn a paycheck. Or you can just delete this blog post.
A Massachusetts governor finally enacting common sense policy to bring about positive results even if it is opposed by the minority majority. Holy Fuck, maybe the world is coming to an end
All construction is halted in Boston. Glad I don’t have one of those dirty blue collar jobs and that I can “work” from home. I think I will order Chinese food now and have the delivery driver leave it at my door.
Wow I am disappointed TurtleBoy. This virus isnt spread by simply touching things and the easy information is highly misleading. Please go to the CDC website as well as the World health Organization. The majority who contract Coronavirus recover without incident.
In the coming weeks we are going to hear about more cases but that does not mean that there is an surprise in the spreading of it…we are just now testing for it. Coronavirus is here. It’s in our communities. We just have not been testing for it. People have had it and recover without knowing and some have it now. Like the flu it can be spread by sneezing or live on a surface for a few days from sneezes or mucus etc. Just do your own research and not listen to the news. Panic sells.
The longer this goes on the more uppity the coloreds get.
It won’t be long before groups of coloreds are breaking into your home and murdering families to take your food, toilet paper and all your shit!
Giblees needs to hire 10 secutity guards.
What, no mention of Bristol or her cohorts in this article?!? I’m deeply disappointed in you Turtleboy.
….ya know, doctors and scientists) say it’s a big deal. The disease spreads by simply touching things that infected people have touched. It’s probably not gonna kill you if you get it, but a shit ton of people will get it if life goes on as normal, and millions of people could potentially die.”
The disease does not spread by “simply touching things infected people have touched”, what a truly stupid fucking sentence. Especially as you predicated your asinine statement that you believe “doctors and scientists”. COVID-19 does not pass directly through your skin, it can only enter your body through “open” areas…eyes, nose, mouth, pussy, balloon knot…. it spreads like every other virus and is less deadly than recent contagions like SARS or MERS.
Wake the fuck up people, this is a ploy to make some sinister assholes even more wealthy shorting the stock market and it servers their political ambitions to politically damage President Trump.
“I’m a dumbass.”
Oooh, looky, a beanbrain with barely a HS diploma is a doctor now, lol.
So now we are listening to scientists?
For the tiiiiiiiiiiimes they arrrrrrrrrre a chaaaaaaaangin!
There are only 2 genders. Science bitches!!!
IF ANYBODY FINDS ME A UNIQUE SPACE FOR MY BUSINESS I WILL PAY YOU A 200$ FINDERS FEE..As many of you know I am actively looking for rental space to move my podcast studio and HerrenNewMedia businesses..However I am moving soon to Lowell for 6 weeks to work on a high level sports podcast with Micky Ward and ill be up there for atleast 5/6 days a week for 6weeks and unable to search for space as much as id like ..Ty
I give Dennis Rack credit for pointing out the absence of any plan by Gov. Baker to protect the financial backs of the bar’s hired help, or managers, or the bar owners, etc. The State is only too happy to let the bar go out of business, and then what? The bar will be turned over to some group of illegal Dominicans who will run a cash bar and launder all of their illegal drug and other schemes. Count on state government to put the illegals’ interests before the legal workers, in exchange for their illegal votes. I also don’t see the overpaid Baker or his underlings taking any financial hit whatsoever from the coronovirus problem; in fact, they are likely to demand an emergency pay increase for themselves. Waiting now to hear how former house-in-foreclosure flipper Liawatha plans to profit from everyone else’s coronovirus losses….
Another fruit
No shit
This article is essentially Turtleboy giving the moron Governor a HARRUMPH.
TB is just fine, when he’s exposing assholes like this. This manager is example#1 of everything that’s wrong with people who think rules don’t apply to them. There’s a reason Tall Deval spelled it out. He got the word from CDC and The WHO . So even if you hate Baker, at least take the word of the two leading world health organizations I hope this guy gets his liquor license revoked
How can he be in defiance of an order that starts tomorrow if the party is today?
Liked it better when it was Lums.
I ate at lum’s back in the day and got explosive diarrhea . So I became a patron of York Steakhouse next door and still got the Hershey squirts
TB lost me in the only job of the U.S govt. is to protect Israel. Americans are our human shields they’ll do what we tell them to do.
No need to worry about Mike Bloomberg spending Billions on advertising to become president because he has already made that money 5 fold by heavily shorting the market.
turtlebuy was better when he hid…. he sucks now
I’m sure it won’t be long before someone from the local governing body will arrive with a screwdriver to remove their liqueur license from the wall and feed it to a shredder.
How can he be in defiance of an order that starts tomorrow if the party is today?
LeeAnn …..Bullseye !!!!
T.B. may be on crack today.
It was 100% predictable that Turtleboy’s audoence would be the type to not understand how a viral threat differs from terrorism.
It was 100% predictable that someone as fucking dense as you would call people dumb then make a spelling error.
Only 1 person mentioned terrorism.
the sky is falling the sky is falling the sky is falling. How about personal responsibility! if you don’t want to go out, stay home and retreat to your bunker.
How about you take responsibility for your ignorance and stupidity? Instead of blaming society for it, and then, gasp, actually making an effort to go out and do something about it. Make your life actually worth something
Your replies suck. They don’t make sense and they’re not funny. You can’t even make it as a troll, very sad you hate to see it.
A bar in Danvers? Does Leigha work there? Asking, for a friend.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety!
Not saying dining out is an essential liberty, but I am disgusted at the amount of people who are applauding these ridiculous measures when in the same breath officials are saying “80% of those who contract the virus will not require medical treatment and can recover at home”. It’s going to spread like every illness does and unhealthy people may die like they do from any common illness. Why don’t we allow the healthy people to get it and recover so we can develop true “herd immunity” and actually prevent the immunocompromised from getting it.
We are truly a nation of morons. No one has any critical thinking ability.
Lemme guess, you have only a HS diploma. I love when idiots who have no concept of critical thinking invoke it. Please, zero, stick to what you do best, BJ’s in the back of Pickup Trucks
…is one of (((them))).
I love Turtleboy, but to suggest that “millions of people could potentially die” is irresponsible at the very least. No wonder the supermarkets have become what they are…..
…a HUGE cuck. Can’t believe I used to support him.
The same people who tried to convince us Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election now want us to believe we’re in imminent danger of death if we socialize with our friends.
Sorry, TB. I’m not buying it. Remember after 9/11, we were encouraged to not change our behavior or else the terrorists won. I’m not letting the mainstream mefia terrorists win.
No one with a brain believes the Jewish owned American media. TB is starting to panic.
Like you have a brain, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What a dildo
The same morons who failed in school, are failing in life, have never been right about ANYTHING in their lives, and still live in the town they were born in, having never left or een anywhere are the same social media geniuses who post here trying to stroke their little egos. Go back to your Budweiser, moron. You have nothing of value to add to the world
How can he be in defiance of an order that starts tomorrow if the party is today?
Exactly
