CTH: New York Mayor Bill deBlasio is officially attempting to establish himself as the United States first totalitarian dictator by announcing a revocation of all New York City citizen rights under the first amendment. A stunning move.
“[Government] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
In a stunning announcement Mayor deBlasio threatens that all religious services will be forcibly closed by city authorities “permanently” if they do not comply with the established dictates of city government. more

“…However, under no circumstance, including: war, famine or virus pandemics that could leave only a hand-full of people alive, can the government force the suspension; or punish those who refuse to comply.”
…really? I don’t see anyone STOPPING him, so I guess he CAN, since he IS, but Christian services ONLY, I’m sure…
Muslims excepted.
Listen, this guy’s a communist maniac. Nothing’s changed. How he gained power in NYC is beyond comprehension.
NYC voters deserve all the misery they’re going to get.
Escape from New York. Wasn’t there a movie by that title?
If not for the Second Ammendment he might have a point
Now the peeps of NY really should organize the churches to ring their bells on Easter Sunday for those three minutes.
“Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” [Acts 5: 29]
Pretty good company, I’d say.
If deBlasio is suspending the 1st Amendment does that mean I’m not allowed to call him an over-zealous, pompous, numb-minded, indignant, butt sucking, moronic phuck face??
Asking for a friend.
If the citizens lose their God-given rights, it will be because the citizens gave them up. Since when do Americans sit still for tin pot communist dictators like this clown?
He’s responsible (among others) for New Yawk being a coronavirus shit show. When’s The Mob gonna kidnap him, saw off his limbs, stuff ’em in a suitcase, and chuck it in the Hudson River?
@ Jerry
When?
When Hell freezes over…and it’s still quite toasty down here.
Quite toasty.
P.O.S.
Wake up! America is hunkered in cocoons of ‘self-isolation. We have given up our rights, already, due to fear mongering. And the elite who don’t have to work are getting bolder.
What happens when we come out of self-quarantine? This flu is NOT going to just disappear, it’ll wait for us.
How do you restart a complete shutdown? The damage to enterprise is beyond thinking.
America has not gone down with a roar, it is hunkering in self-isolation waiting for the boogie man to pass. As we hunker, what usurpers are sneaking in to overthrow what is left?
“Every peoples have the government they deserve.”
(dead white dude)
If New Yorkers demand to live under the yoke of tyranny, why not deBlasio’s yoke?
He’s willing – they’re willing – the cops are willing.
A slave state for people with a slave mentality.

… and jeremiah wright says: ‘i likes me them chickens’
Warren Wilhelm is already hated by the NYC Police. Now he gets to be hated by Christians and Jews.
@Jimmy, please don’t give New Yorkers ideas.
Maine is being invaded 2 months early by people from big cities out of state.
This is zombie movie material only “Live from NY”
They’ve been screwing our 2nd amendment rights since the democrats were the British; what in the hell makes people think they’ll leave the rest of the Constitution alone?
Easy to ignore God-given rights when you have no belief in God.
I eagerly await the day when De Blasio trips over a manhole cover, falls pell mell into the sewage system, nearly drowns, and is slowly gnawed to death by the mutant homeless people who dragged him out of the shit sludge.
isn’t it about time to bring back tarring and feathering of despots like this? Or at least public stocks in Times Square with DeBlasio front and center with his ugly head exposed and the people of NYC throwing their garbage and rubbish at him. He needs to be totally humiliated and repudiated by all good people in NYC and the whole country for that matter.
In the IMMORTAL words, of New Yawk’s OWN beloved Sweathogs…
“UP yer ass, with a shard of glass!” 🖕😁🖕
Shooting is not far off.
@Dan Knowles- Have a look at his ugly-ass wife and goofy spawn. It’d probably give them all some relief from each other.
islam mosques are not included in the shut down since islam is not a religion
This is why the 2A was written
Notice he hasn’t shut down any government functions. Any cop who enters a church to shut it down should be shot in the head along with the people who sent him.
