Washington Governor Jay Inslee briefly ran for president until he remembered he can be a dictator in his own state. The democratic (obviously) has basically put the state back on lockdown with one notable exception: rioters and looters may continue their destruction of the state. Nobody can go to a funeral or play miniature golf, but if you want to tear down a statue, torch a public building, or assault a police officer, Washington is the place to be.
Here’s Inslee’s latest coronavirus lockdown order:
Gov. Jay Inslee (D) announced new restrictions on weddings, funerals, restaurants, bars, and gyms that take effect on July 30. Weddings and funerals will be limited to 20% capacity (with a maximum of 30 people) and event receptions will be prohibited. In Phase 3 counties, restaurants will be limited to 50% capacity, members of the same table will have to be from the same family, and the maximum number of people at a table will decrease from 10 to five. Bars will be closed for indoor service (outdoor service will still be permitted). Gym occupancy will be reduced to 25% in Phase 3 (or five people in Phase 2).
So no dinner with your friends and if you and your wife have more than 3 kids, some of those little brats are going to have to stay in the car.
And here are a few more specifics regarding what Washington residents can’t do:
All live entertainment is prohibited except performances outdoors for members of the same household where social distancing of a minimum of 10 feet is always maintained from the entertainer and facial coverings are worn by all individuals.
So you can see a concert so long as it’s performed by someone you are related to and who lives in the same house. This would be fine if you happened to be Metallica’s brother, squatting on their coach. Otherwise it means you can’t see a band play live.
Alcohol service, including beer, wine, and spirits, service must end at 10:00 p.m.
If I could get drunk enough by 10, I wouldn’t even need 11.
Indoor family entertainment and recreational centers, including miniature golf, putt putt, bowling alleys, indoor go-karts, arcades, and substantially similar activities, are prohibited.
Is there some science that says people get coronavirus while hitting a ball into a clown’s mouth or is this just another dick move?
Speaking of dick moves, Inslee’s orders do not effect the racial grievance mobs destroying cities like Seattle. Here’s what the governor has to say about the “peaceful” riots:
Today, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan received confirmation that the Department of Homeland Security’s Border Patrol Tactical Unit has demobilized and left the Seattle area.
“This demobilization means Washingtonians no longer have to worry about the White House’s aim to provoke confrontation and undermine peaceful protests. Those peacefully protesting have raised the public’s consciousness of the urgent need for racial justice, and I have no doubt they will continue to use their voices to call for action. We must continue making progress toward a better and more just Washington for everyone,” said Inslee.
No Putt Putt, eating with friends, seeing a band, or drinking past Inslee’s bedtime, but violently rioting in the streets is fine.
I’ve never understood why a person would vote for a democrat but hopefully this opens some people’s eyes: You can’t work, worship, or enjoy yourself but if you want to set a police car on fire, that’s allowed and encouraged.
