This piece of shit megalomaniac will never waste an opportunity to grab as much power as he can.

A current total of 2 New Yorkers (out of roughly 19.4 million) have been infected with a virus, so he needs the power to "suspend laws state or local laws in their entirety, with little oversight from lawmakers."

And the sack-of-shit lawmakers gave it to him.

What. The. Fuck.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Oh goody another memo of necessity this time written on toilet paper.

 

[Marine Cpl]

So if and when he decides to quarantine people to their homes via force, take a wild guess who will just be following orders.

Martial law and confiscations coming in 3...2...

As soon as the first riots start if this turns out to go badly.

 

[Defilade]

People are not buying into this virus shit. It's all media hype. Until Tens of thousands of people are infected no one is really concerned.

No one needs more than 10 bullets to fight Corona Virus.

I have a coworker who is definitely concerned. I'm not for my health, but she is. She's truly considering what would happen if her and her husband are both in hospital who is going to take care of her kids. Some people are more prone to panic than others

No one needs more than 10 billion to fight Corona Virus.

FIFY

 

[Smoke Jensen]

What he has essentially done is declared Martial Law.

 

[S&W Fan]

Next on the agenda, suspend habeas corpus

 

[tirwin1]

Not that there was any doubt but we now see what kind of president he would be. An arrogant tinpot dictator.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Andy will be registering all Corona Virus and Spanish Flu victims to vote in November.

 

[ProgSpear]

Why should he bother registering all those dead people when he can use his dictatorial "emergency" powers to simply declare that everyone voted for him? Never let a crisis go to waste...

 

[Phauxtoe]

this a quote heard while hearing two talking NY politicians speaking frankly!
"vat ve need isss camps!
camps for those who oppose me... i mean possess the virus!
that is the ticket..."

 

[Mr. terzmo]

What laws would he need to suspend or eliminate ?? Shoplifting for illegals ?? Home invasions by illegals ?? Rape by illegals ?? And the fake news is not reporting it...go figure

 

[1075tech]

"Quarantine" every one. Suspend travel. Suspend (revoke) your pistol permit. Confiscate your guns. Shut down the internet in NY. Restrict the flow of information and control what "news" is published.

I'm sure he's already thinking about these and more.

I have a coworker who is definitely concerned. I'm not for my health, but she is. She's truly considering what would happen if her and her husband are both in hospital who is going to take care of her kids. Some people are more prone to panic than others

I was very relieved to hear that kids are less likely to be effected or become ill.
My younger son has some health issues and immune issues that if he got it the outcome would likely not be good. He is mandated to get the flu shot. He has severe asthma and due to that his one lung is actually permanently damaged. His asthma was so bad when he was a kid he was seen by a specialist at children’s hospital and tested for cystic fibrosis. When he didn’t have the common one he was tested for a rarer one. He was given adult doses of COP medications because his lower lines of his lungs were not functioning at all really. We were nervous to do this but the doctor we were seeing was at the high range of the top 50 in the USA. We took her advice and his lungs started functioning near normal. We’re glad we got hooked up with her.
So yes different people panic for different reasons. It very well could mean the difference between life and death for my son.
Now does governor assholes power grab give my son a better chance at living. Hell no. I’ll keep him home and my other son if need be. I can work from home and so can my wife. I won’t see anyone for months if need be.

And the rest of the states in the union didn't bat an eye, per usual.

With all that God like power I think our vaunted governor should visit those poor infected souls, lay hands on them and bless them with his omnipotent powers. And, if he should somehow become infected himself, well shucks, when I put my head to pillow, I'll put in a good word, just not for him. Sorry God, I just can't do it.
