Mychajliw Masks Super Spreader’s Arrest in Cheektowaga

Pete Harding and Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw not socially distancing or wearing a mask at a recent press conference for a racist gym owner in Orchard park

As the pandemic continues to rage across Erie County, people like Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw selfishly refuse to protect the people around them.

One of the founding members of WNY’s recently established “FreeDUMB brigade”  conspiring with Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajlw in an attempt to silence their biggest critics (like this website) is no stranger to law enforcement.

Pete Harding was arrested on June 26th for 3rd-degree criminal trespass after what witnesses describe as an “irate and confrontational disturbance” while harassing customers in a  Cheektowaga liquor store without wearing a mask.

Details have immerged of the arrest after Harding and his supporters continue to claim he was being “falsely accused” on WBEN radio and other social media outlets.

After attempts by the business owners to ask Harding to wear a mask or leave the store, Harding ignored the request and refused to comply.

That’s when store owners called Cheektowaga police and Harding began “ranting” about his “rights”.

According to the police report, officers gave Harding multiple oppportunities to leave the store without arrest but he refused to comply.

Harding was then escorted out of the store, placed under arrest and his car was towed and ticketed for expired registration.

As far as we know the case is still pending in Cheektowaga Town Court after a previous court appearance was pushed to a later date when a group of maskless supporters caused a scene at the doors of the courthouse.  No word yet on a rescheduled date.

So much for respecting the blue. Or anyone but themselves for that matter.

‘That guy doesn’t care’: MSNBC host calls out Trump’s indifference after executive faints



President Donald Trump gathered pharmaceutical giants to the Oval Office on Thursday to discuss weight loss drugs when Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay collapsed. Trump stood from the desk, looming over the situation as Dr. Mehmet Oz rushed to the man. Trump was then photographed turning away from the scene, looking disappointed.

"Trump stands unmoved, annoyed looking, as staff rushes to revive the man," said MSNBC host Chris Hayes on Thursday night. "And you can look at this photo of Trump. It's reasonable to think that guy doesn't care about getting my costs down. Not really. People seem to forget this. We all have very short memories these days. He was president before. He was the least popular president for the duration of his first term in modern polling. He is even less popular now after seeing his approval plummet all year."

Host Jen Psaki added her comments, asking, "Did he understand what was happening?"

Psaki and Hayes weren't the only ones to notice Trump's indifference.

"This is how he reacted," said Democratic activist Harry Sisson. "A photo that perfectly encapsulates who he is."

"At the same time, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. immediately left the office, and Trump seems like posing for the camera. Cowardice, lack of empathy and fear is the trademark of this administration," Commented inHereticAI creator Mario Pawlowski.

"Someone faints in the oval office and Trump could give two s---s," said Morgan J. Freeman on X.

"Trump springs into action as a man collapses in the Oval Office," former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) says sarcastically.

"Donald Trump reacts to a man in medical distress in the Oval Office," characterized columnist Matthew Yglesias.

"A man suffers a medical emergency in the Oval Office and Trump just stands there, staring blankly, like someone shut off the robot in the Disney Hall of Presidents," quipped novelist Patrick S. Tomlinson.

Nebraska state Sen. Megan Hunt (I) recalled a 2017 report in Harper's Bazaar about an 80-year-old man who collapsed in Trump's presence and began bleeding. "Get that blood cleaned up, it's disgusting," Trump said, according to the report.

Legendary comedian and creative genius John Cleese described the photo saying, "Trump seething because he's not the centre of attention for a moment.

Findlay was ultimately okay.
