Papers, Please! Blasio setting up checkpoints...

[whag]

The democrats keep calling the republicans "Nazis" but as soon as they have have an excuse, they go completely overboard with authoritarianism. Shutting down churches,

locking people in houses,

shutting down businesses,

Right, because no democrat ever owned a business.

while allowing riots and arson in the streets.

Wake up America! The real Nazis are the Democrats!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

hmm - I refer both to you, and to the lack of you being excoriated by the peanut gallery for doing so

I will say that there is far less evidence the De Blasio is inclined towards authoritarianism than our 'glorious leader'. So there is that. Restricting intake from contaminated areas has multiple precedents in our history, it is in fact a necessary part of dealing with a pandemic.

Rules for thee but not for me, eh?

You may now proceed to dismount from your high horse.

I cannot read the entire article as that site will not open here.

From what you have posted, and given New York's experiences with this disease, I do not see these precautions as anything sinister.

Of course they could always open up Ellis Island again and put them all there as a holding bay.

5 debate points in the internet 'who can be the snarkiest' tournament. But completely unrelated to the actual point raised. "Rules for me/thee" applies more correctly here to the idea of comparing a political leader to hitler, which is routinely excoriated if it is done to trump, but here completely accepted as you apply it to de Blasio. So the hypocrisy lies not with me, but with you.
