The Permanent "State of Emergency" In Blue States & Who Is Really "A Threat To Democracy"

Amidst the blizzard of headlines reading "Republicans imperil American democracy" or something to that effect, the mainstream media and their "conservative" NeverTrump allies are strangely silent on blue state governors acquiring state-of-emergency powers during Covid, then choosing to never relinquish those powers.

The articles linked below are all current, from within the past few days. Isn't it peculiar that as these left-wing governors finally bow to pressure, science, and reality, and start to ease some Covid restrictions, they also determine that they must continue to retain their dictatorial emergency powers. As California Governor Gavin Newsom explained, it's "in case things go south."

Gavin Newsom is keeping emergency powers after California reopens.

The Minnesota Executive Council on Monday voted to extend the state's peacetime emergency for COVID-19 and with it, the governor's emergency powers. Governor Tim Walz requested the extension last week...

New York's state of emergency also remains in effect, along with the governor's expanded decision-making and spending authorities.

In response to this dangerous power grab by Democrat governors, the media cheers, of course. NeverTrump, if forced to discuss the blue state tyrants and take a break from condemning deplorables, will simply change the subject. If you ask the Dispatch/Bulwark/National Review guys what they think about Newsom's power grab, they're more likely to start flirting with each other on Twitter about their favorite hot dog toppings than to condemn a Democrat governor for his illegal appropriation of power.

However, the media and its Conservative, Inc. allies are quite aware of a persistent threat to democracy. It's you. YOU are a threat to democracy, unless you start thinking properly and voting correctly.

Here are just a small fraction of the hits you get when googling "Republicans democracy"

"Republicans want to continue waging Donald Trump's war against American democracy" (Bill Kristol)

The GOP has proven to be an even 'greater threat' to US democracy than Trump in 2021, experts warn (Business Insider)

The GOP Is a Grave Threat to American Democracy (The Atlantic)

Liz Cheney says Trump and GOP backers threaten democracy (Associated Press)

Good grief. Her daddy was once Vice-President, and therefore as an American political princess she was somehow entitled to a seat in Congress, but that was still not enough for her. All of the Washington swamp now agrees that denying Liz Cheney a leadership position in Congress means our democracy is in peril. But Mario Cuomo asserting the power to deny each and every New Yorker their freedom, whenever Mario chooses to do so, for whatever reason? That’s no big deal.

Aside from the blue state governors who have permanently taken on dictatorial powers, here are some other things that strike me as a much bigger threat to our system of government than Princess Liz being denied a leadership title:

The President's role currently being administered by unknown, unelected handlers because Joe Biden does not have the faculties to care for himself, much less the country.

Courts having the authority to create any law, or throw out any law, simply on a partisan whim.

Monopoly tech utilities taking it upon themselves to deny Americans their Bill of Rights protections.

Allowing ballot box stuffing while eliminating any controls to ensure the integrity of our elections.

US intelligence agencies involving themselves in trying to influence US elections.

American politicians and major corporations being openly contemptuous of the United States, while being obedient servants of the tyranny that is our greatest political and economic competitor.

Teaching our children that they should hate this country, and also hate their fellow Americans based on skin color.

Paying US citizens not to work while opening the border for cheap, illegal foreign labor to replace them.

The good news is that I don't have to live under Newsom, Walz, Cuomo, Whitmer, or any of the other power-hungry governors that are sadistically inflicting punishment on their subjects. The bad news is that not all of the refugees flocking to Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and other free states understand that they voted in those power-hungry governors that took away their freedoms.

Californians, New Yorkers, and other blue state voters soiled their nests by electing tyrants. Unless they vote for freedom in the states they are fleeing to, they should stay behind and either enjoy the mess they voted for, or fix it.

Out here in free states, we have governors that have surrendered their own emergency powers and suspended all remaining local emergency orders within their states. What do our media betters call governors who terminate emergency powers? Why of course, they are "a threat to democracy." We're living in Orwellian times, but it's real simple, wherever elected officials retain emergency powers in perpetuity, you are never really free.

30 The media is the number one enemy of this country. Here's a thought experiment using the tragedy of Ashley Babbit:1) Ashley Babbit is a leftist and is shot and killed by a Capitol policeman while Trump is President. The media goes apeshit and covers the story 24/7 non-stop until the entire country is in an uproar and Impeachment No.3 or 4 or whatever the fuck is started to get Trump. And there are riots in the street, of course.
2) Ashley Babbit is a conservative and is killed by a Capitol policeman, under Biden's (soon to be) Presidency and crickets ensue.
Tell me who the real enemy is.

31 My daughter performed in her final dance recital the past two nights. The high school auditorium had a couple hundred people each night and the number of masked people I saw totaled no more than 10-12.

One of the many thoughts I had upon seeing the assembled crowd was how this probably would not take place in neighboring blue states, even if everyone was masked, certainly not that number of people together. I sure hope everyone else there realized this too, but who knows anymore (My expectations of today's American society is in the toilet).

No one is masked, and people even go to the pool to swim sans mask.

Same. It varied widely during the lockdowns, but a few months back when things started opening up, it went to almost 0 masks. People are pre-covid normal, like when I'm walking the dog there is no fear about getting too, close or anything.

The one place I see mask are kids, which makes m incredibly sad. Obviously it's because schools and camps require them. Criminal!!

74 Y'all might want to tune in to your local Rush Limbaugh Show affiliate. About 20 minutes remaining on the last ever Rush Limbaugh Show, before it becomes the Buck Sexton and whatsisname show.

The thing has run it's course, but I think they've about wrung out every vintage Limbaugh clip for just about every topic du jour, since the Great Man passed to that Golden EIB Mike in the Sky. And so, it's time.

Do this. Tune it, give 'em the ratings as a going away present, at least. Even if you turn it down and mute it. Thirty years of Excellence, and he played no small part in the Red Pilling of a Nation.

Yeah, go fuck yourselves. But this reminds me - maybe a lawyer moron is out there. Pretty sure that CA has a law about lotteries and give-aways, that you cannot say you have to buy product X to take part. Because that's not inclusive and feelings might be hurt. That's why McD's has to give you monopoly pieces if you walk in off the street. If you're not having to buy your ticket for chances, then no other restrictions can be placed on it. If true, I hope he gets his ass sued. Why should I need to get a vaccination, when you're giving away MY TAX DOLLARS for a prize? Fucktard.

Unless they're a true respirator, properly fitted and worn, there is no known efficacy to masks in preventing transmission of this or any other influenza-like virus.

This is what I'm talking about.

119 COVID is spread like any other flu like illness - people sneeze or cough near/on you.

So - sick people shouldn't go in public (frankly we should have had this as a cultural rule for a long time). But the only way a mask protects anyone is if someone who is sick sneezes into it instead of on you.

And as per Biden - most people pull their masks down when they are going to cough/sneeze anyway since it is gross.

we are no longer under a state of emergency!

so there was a thing where the PLCB (which sucks satan's member) had to allow restaurants doing takeout to also have cocktails available to take out due to COVID. and, any restaurant could expand their outdoor seating more than usually allowed.

so the state legislature passed an extension of these two things, to help small businesses, overwhelmingly, to take effect when the State of Emergency ended. Wolf very loudly said he would of course sign it.

guess what he did. yes he quietly vetoed it.

so NOW everyone in Philly and all the libs are SCREAMING about how EVIL the R legislature was to take away our blessed State of Emergency! of course they do not blame Wolf, who did this on purpose to harm restauranteurs and punish us for ending his power trip.

131 Actually sneezing/coughing - or just breathing - through/into a mask may well *worsen* the situation, i.e. result in a greater chance of transmission. The droplets with associated virions can be "nebulized", broken down into smaller/lighter particles, which not only have slower sedimentation (falling due to gravity) but also may be more dangerous, in that they are ingested deeper into the airway and lungs, and early studies suggested severity of case may sometimes be related to this factor.

So they declare war on their own people, lashing out at phantoms with the might of the state, publicly persecuting innocents, kicking down doors and shooting parents in front of their children, all to stop the fearful voices their heads, birthing tyranny from sheer mania.

And this tyranny proves to be their doom, because it's what finally spawns the enemies they were always afraid of and makes their nightmares real. God help us.

168 Here you go:
On August 20, Ford nominated former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller to fill the vice presidency he had vacated. Rockefeller's top competitor had been George H. W. Bush. Rockefeller underwent extended hearings before Congress, which caused embarrassment when it was revealed he made large gifts to senior aides, such as Henry Kissinger. Although conservative Republicans were not pleased that Rockefeller was picked, most of them voted for his confirmation, and his nomination passed both the House and Senate. Some, including Barry Goldwater, voted against him.

Nope, it doesn't work that way.

Pelosi would only become President if Dopey Joe and Commie Lay were both taken out. She doesn't automatically move into the VP slot if just Dopey Joe gets taken out.

In that case, Commie Lay would become President, and she would then name a new VP, who would have to be confirmed.

For instance, when Agnew got taken out, Nixon named Ford as the new VP. He was a Congressman, but not Speaker of the House. When Nixon got taken out in turn, Ford named Rockefeller to be VP. While he was a former Governor, he wasn't even a member of Congress, much less Speaker of the House.

222 Hillary is a common crook who through serendipity was able to latch onto a shooting star.


She would kill Xi Jinping with a spork if it meant she could get a few Yuan more into her grubby little mitts.


Exactly. Hillary is pure Grifter Class. She'll believe anything if there's a paycheck involved.

223 If you are a Lefty mask wearer, you would not flee to a state without mask restrictions. The Lefties may be moving but they tend to stay in the same area. They are happy, why would they leave?

She'll DO anything if there's a payday involved.

When Kamala's and Hillary's cackles synchronize the terrible harmonics will start ancient deep vaults to resonate the music of the old ones calling them to our plane for cruelty and horror no man was meant to know. Also, it will sound really bad.

228 Just read that story about Biden giving Putin a list of 16 "specific entities defined as critical infrastructures" that the U.S. doesn't want Russia to attack. AYFKM? Biden has always been incredibly stupid, but that just defies belief. No wonder that Obama doctor wants Biden's cognitive functioning tested. Actually, who needs a test? We can all see that Biden has no cognitive functioning. The man is blithering idiot, and it's not even funny. It's f*cking dangerous.

229 Conventional warfare just got replaced by a test run of biowarfare. Cheaper and easier on the environment. Why blow up valuable food sources when you have a billion people to feed. War has gone Green.

231 After the dems in Washington State stole the governor's seat in 2000, they discovered the Emergency clause. It allows them to pass legislations under a bunch of suspended rules. I am trying to check, but I think we have been operating this way ever since.
Olympia sucks.

232 The thousands of people fleeing NY and CA has nothing to do with masks it is a pocketbook issue. They are not conservative they want to keep their money and not be shot or beaten to death.

233 79 Red state report. At Animal Kingdom today, less than 1% people wearing masks. Most of the workers aren't wearing either.

234 Only reason I came back to Calif at all, was to care for my Aging Mom. Well, she's 92 and is dying of Liver Cancer.

Soooo... once things settle out the House will go on the market and I'm out of here... not sure where I'll land yet... but it sure as hell won't be in Calif.
Posted by: Romeo13


Sorry to hear that, again.
It's hard to take care of a parent who is dying.

I would suggest Montana, or Idaho. The winters are sometimes harsh, but it is beautiful country.
A lot of people like Texas, but only if you like the summer heat. It does get hot there. Ditto Florida.

I really like North Carolina; mountains to the west, the ocean to the east. Nice people live there, too.

235 Anyone looking to relocate but can't abide the heat or the extreme cold?

Look to Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and a few other middle east coast but inland for some decent weather and other accoutrements desired.

Sure they have some current negatives but not as much as the Northeast Hell Holes or the West Coast Hell Holes.

PA teeters on the edge of liberals because we're surrounded and that's all we get for immigrants from other states. But that's changed this year and last. They stole the election and the Amish et al are pissed. We knew Philly stole elections and Pittsburgh too. But on average things were balanced. This last year broke that unwritten compromise and we also tired of Tommy and his philly lawyer schtick.

He'll be gone next year. (unless the GOP party here really do a stupid which is always a possibility) They may have learned their lesson this time as they've been acting like statesmen and not penny ante carny barkers shilling the rubes and getting run out of town.

Some younger folks are getting into the workings this time around.

236 Oh and the weather in PA is pretty good. We're close enough to the coast to get some decent weather even in the winter and the summers aren't killer hot (at least not for long).

Nice countryside, fairly cheap standard of living and a good jobs market (surprisingly NOT in the big cities, Gee I wonder why?)

Good health care is available and widespread. no 20 mile trips to an emergency care clinic or a medevac to the hospital 50 miles away like some the really rural settings can be.

Not too bad on taxes and stuff depends on where you are as in any state.

And the people are great. Law abiding, friendly, hard working, firm but fair legal system and no multiple layers of government employees sucking at the taxpayers tit.

237 Blue states must be walled off, the borders mined and patrolled. Just to be sure they should be nuked from orbit.

238 "simply on a partisan whim"

No. It's "partisan" in the sense of "political". It is RELIGIOUS. It's why they can deny "partisanship" because they're just doing "what's right." Because it's their doctrine, their morality.
