Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., lambasted governors for locking down their states during the coronavirus pandemic.
"You know, nobody ever intended that governors would be sort of czars or dictators in charge of the economy

Governors around the country have imposed restrictions to varying degrees during the pandemic. In Paul's home state, Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear has implemented a mask mandate, limited private gathering sizes, and set minimal capacity for indoor small businesses such as gyms

New York Democrat Gov. Mario Cuomo ordered restaurants to again stop indoor dining in mid-December.
California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday a stay-at-home order for Southern California likely will be extended into the new year.
States such as New York and California are seeing people flee to states with more relaxed pandemic rules. Preliminary Census Bureau data showed more than 126,000 people left New York state between July 2019 and July 2020, the biggest population drop of any state.
Rand criticized governors locking down their states, which received money from the federal government's various stimulus packages.
"The only thing that will get [New York City Mayor Bill] de Blasio and Cuomo to finally open up is when they run out of other people’s money," Paul said. "So I think that we shouldn't be passing out any money to the states, we shouldn't be rewarding their bad behavior.
And really, this has probably been the worst time in the history of our country for power being accumulated into the hands of very few people."
The pandemic has had significant impact on more than three-quarters of the nation's small businesses

Governors in some states also have placed restrictions on capacity for houses of worship. Indoor religious gatherings have been banned in California.

More like Hitlers and Stalins than czars
Miniscule correction: His Arrogance Pope Mario Cuomo ceased being gov in 1994 & is now busy lecturing God.
His evil son Andrew (Andrei?) is now Dear Leader of NY but lacks His Arrogance’s ability to suck the oxygen out of the room.
“DeWhine”
I’ll need to add that to my collection of Gubernatorial slurs.
NJ = Smurphy
CA = Newsolini
NY = Cuomotose
MI = Whitless
IL = Pricksker
I was also thinking DeDrone to make fun of the way he speaks in monotone, and puts everyone to sleep. He had so little to say in his daily 1 hour pre-emmpt of the last hour of Rush Limbaugh one day, that he actually had his wife, Fran, read childrens books to the kiddies (who were no where near the radio). Boooorrrrreeeeing! I complained (and I’m sure others did too, cause I blasted it on social media) to the radio station here, since they broadcast in AM and FM. They compromised and put DeBore on one band and let Rush have the other.
Some suggestions (let me help you out...)
WI = Tony Nevers
VA = Ralph Blackface
WA = Jay Inseam
PA = Tom Whiff
OR = Kate Clown
NC = Roy Blooper
NV = Steve SisBoomBah (Remember the Johnny Carson Carnak the Magnificant - “What is the sound a sheep makes when it explodes?”)
MT = Steve Bullshistk
MN - Dimwhit
