“If you want to establish a framework of martial law which is ultimate authority and enforcement, we have the capacity to do that, but we are not at this moment thinking that is a necessity,” Newsom said.

Of course, if asked days ago, if they would shut all they have shut down, he would have said, "we are not at this moment thinking that is a necessity,” but they have.

Of course, Cuomo has declared martial law and it is obviously on the mind of reporters if they are asking these questions and CNN runs this: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/15/politics/andrew-cuomo-donald-trump-oped-coronavirus/index.html

And can someone explain, if this is such an urgent crisis, why do they announce that something will be shut down in 24-72 hours? If it is a crisis, shouldn't it be an immediate shut down? Why didn't they do this day one? IS it an attempt to see how far they can go?

My governor, as well as many others, are requiring certain businesses to shut down or stop regular face-to-face transactions.

I’ve been asking all over the internet how they can do that without first declaring martial law.

And yet people crap on the streets and government cannot do anything.

Cuomo is on TV now ranting about states having different set of rules. Says there should be one national (federal) set of rules. I think the jerk is beginning to feel the heat for his decisions. He wants to be able to place ALL blame on Trump.

Cuomo on tv demanding Trump shut down the country.

Generalissimo Cuomo is posturing for higher office
So is Gravitas Newsom

[proust]

Trump was smart to let local govt take over. Newsom and Cuomo are sweating bullets right now.

[whinecountry]

As have I. Deeply troubling that so much of our populace just accepts this without objection or even a question.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Idiot Cuomo wants the federal government to basically declare Marshall law.

States should be smart enough to put in place restrictions APPROPRIATE for their individual situation.

“If you want to establish a framework of martial law which is ultimate authority and enforcement, we have the capacity to do that, but we are not at this moment thinking that is a necessity,” Newsom said.

HA! You just gave it away.

[RatRipper]

“Shutting down the country” will create far, far more carnage than the virus. Their “cure” is worse than the disease itself.

Their idiocy is now dangerous

[Texas Eagle]

I told you. This is all about gun confiscation.

[Vigilanteman]

And yet people crap on the streets and government cannotwon't do anything.

Because derelicts are special and will provide harvested votes to keep the liberal fascists in power in perpetuity.

[Hattie]

It’s time to Just Say NO!

[Deo volente]

Cuomo on tv demanding Trump shut down the country.

...and then he'll blame him for the economic disaster that will follow.

[alternatives?]

“Cuomo is on TV now ranting about states having different set of rules.”

Someone should ask him if he is talking about immigration.

Waiting for the door welders to arrive eventually.

because the sheeple are panicked and cowering before the government who will save them. And that is the scariest part of this whole thing
