Typical socialist. Their rules are for the little people. They can’t be expected to live like everyone else.

These scumbags needs to be drawn and quartered. He gets an Emmy for murdering 5500 elderly, he is canceling thanksgiving and is going to lock you up if you don't comply he needs to brought to justice for those murders!

How low, would have been our real Covid 19 death rate? If these granny killing democrat governors had gotten the virus and died in the first week? Instead of them killing the innocent grannies!
