NEW: I’m signing an EO to extend our public health emergency by 30 days.
To be clear: this does not mean we’re seeing anything in the data which would pause our path forward. These declarations, unless extended, expire after 30 days. We’re still in a public health emergency. pic.twitter.com/7Fj9ciQvxC— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) May 6, 2020
I absolutely loathe that miserable sack of crap.
Please let most of the country open up by mid-May so that New Jersey residents can see what their vote bought them.
And 30 days from now it will be another 30 days.
Once again - don’t just blame the DemRats on this one. President Trump and our other Republican “leaders” are just as complicit in this. President Trump could easily order AG Barr to prosecute Murphy for Deprivation of Rights Under Color Of Law or countermand Murphy’s decree and order the State opened up - using the National Guard to enforce it if need be - yet he has done NOTHING of the sort.
All bark, no bite.
Will demand government bailout when the economy goes in the tank; loss of jobs, loss of businesses.
These Blue State Governors have become dictators. Their States no longer have functioning legislatures or courts, so all law in those States come from them. Article IV, Section 4 (the Guarantee Clause) of the Constitution says every State is to have “a Republican Form of Government.” One-person rule in a State violates the Guarantee Clause and needs to stopped by the People or by the federal government.
We must insist to President Trump that NO bailouts go to states that have not started opening back up by 1st week of May.
If it’s still alive, NJ will go red
While I disagree with Trump’s actions in all this from the beginning, I think his hands are tied by the panic that the msm and many on this forum have instilled in people. Weak people are like children and panic spreads like wildfire among them. The rest of us Americans will take quite a bit before we take actions. But once unleashed, we fight to the end. Take that you sniveling Fearbros.
I suspect it won’t be long until we the People find ourselves in a shooting war with our own local and state governments. Granted it is the solution that our Founding Fathers instructed us to use if it came down to it.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Exactly. Like in WA we have this tin horn governor that acts just like a socialistic dictator. By the time he finally opens up WA for normal(?) commerce there won’t be businesses and there won’t be jobs anymore.
Murphy’s orders are capricious and irrational... borderline sadistic. His motivation is purely political and suspect of wanting to maximize damage to the economy so he can suck on the stimulus aid titty and cry to the Feds asking for pity on his states unfunded liabilities and bankrupt pension system which at present is close to a deficit of $130 billion.
The guys a snake-oil salesman.
Looks like the Gov. has given the huge middle finger to unwashed masses of NJ.
Great leaders are those willing to go against the media and public opinion.
Trump not doing anything to counter that is just a sign of his own weakness.
He has yet to have Hillary or any of the Deep State arrested/prosecuted despite ample evidence.
He has only managed to get a few dozen miles of wall built in his 1s term.
Instead of Steve Bannon and General Flynn in charge of his Cabinet we wound up with Kushner and his merry group of NeoCons.
Pure evil!
We suffer because of the derelict, corrupt Mis management and unpreparedness of these idiots in charge. It is time we storm the gates enough!
New Jersey long term care patients are dying in droves under Governor Murphy.
NYNJNursingHomegate is an atrocious tragedy compared to Bridgegate.
In defense of Murphy (much as I hate to do this), he’s got to deal with a situation that most governors outside the Northeast don’t have to deal with: He’s in charge of a small state that is sitting between two large infected sh!t-holes (New York City and Philadelphia). There’s no way in hell he’s going to relax these restrictions while he has to be concerned about infected mutants from those dumps flooding his state.
