Dallas leader seeks stay-at-home order
UPI ^ | June 29 2020 | ByDarryl Coote

In Texas, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins called on Gov. Greg Abbott to reinstitute stay-at-home orders and other strict measures to stop the spread of the deadly and infectious coronavirus as cases surge throughout the state.

In a letter dated Saturday, but released to the public on Sunday, Jenkins asked Abbott to reinstitute stay-at-home orders for a month, enforce universal mask-wearing and physical distancing through fines, limit events and reduce indoor gatherings to 10 people and outdoor events to 100, among a slew of other recommendations.

Clay Jenkins, the DEMOCRAT County Judge in Dallas Texas is demanding the Gov Abbott issue a stay at home order.

Jenkins has the authority to issue a 'stay at home' order himself.

But he does not want to get the pushback from Dallas residents, so instead he complains that Abbott needs to do it for him.

These various corona virus lockdown demands are becoming commonplace by DEMOCRAT leaders.

DEMOCRAT Gov Jay Inslee made a similar demand of Trump yesterday. Here is a comment from that posting—

“””The idiot Washington governor can order his citizens around all he wants. What he wants from Trump is cover, so everything looks as if ordered by Trump, and Inslee is relieved of responsibility if it is not popular.”””

Yeah, let's just keep doing the "lockdown" thing whenever any imbecile politician decides we "need to" in order to "combat" this "deadly" disease.

All of you suckers who thought this was EVER going to end, that these dirtbag politicians would EVER let go of the power handed to them over this "crisis"... maybe now you are starting to understand.

I am so glad and thankful to the Lord that I moved 150 miles from L.A. to the Sierras 16 years ago. I’ve been back to that shithole for various reasons and it’s steadily and swiftly getting worse. All cities and urban areas are worthy of escape. I recommend and strongly advise everyone to do it immediately.

But they want to shift the blame to Republicans. Being a Democrat means it's never your fault.

Abbott needs to place the judge to stay at home order until he says he can come out (never).

Hard decisions need to be made, even if unpopular.
If they don’t want to decide then they shouldn’t be in office.

And here is Pelosi making her demand that Trump mandate masks nationwide.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/06/28/watch-pelosi-explains-why-she-wants-to-see-a-mask-mandate-n2571480

There seems to be a trend here!!!!

“””During an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday called for a nationwide mandate that would require Americans to wear masks.

“it is definitely long overdue for that,” Pelosi said. “And my understanding is that the Centers for Disease Control recommended the use of masks but not demand, require it, because they don’t want to offend the president.””””

Woah. Shouldn't the Rat judge be waiting "two weeks" before making any rash decisions?

The Chinese propaganda is only going to get thicker the closer to Nov. we get.

“...strict measures to stop the spread of the deadly and infectious coronavirus as cases surge throughout the state. ...”

Nope, no bias in our science-denied media trying to defend their sillliness.

When Revolution Ii cones, please PLEASE make me in charge of the persecution (and you know what) of the media.

These folks really deserve a whole lot of suffering.

No we are talking about DEMOCRAT leaders who are demanding that a Republican Governor in Texas and a Republican President issue draconian lockdown orders.

These DEMOCRAT leaders have the power to issue their own draconian lockdown orders, but they do not want to do it because they know the residents under them will pushback.

Jenkins needs to stay home. They need to cut his internet cable, and jam his cell phone.
