NSIAP Abbott Teams up with Covid Against Austin https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/30/texas-greg-abbott-austin-new-years/ Greg Abbott says Austin can't ban late on-site dining for New Year's weekend as COVID-19 surge continues Mayor Steve Adler said the severity of the COVID-19 situation in Austin requires more drastic measures. El Paso County announced a similar order earlier this month. BY JUAN PABLO GARNHAM DEC. 30, 2020UPDATED: 2:38 PM COPY LINK REPUBLISH With COVID-19 cases surging, Austin's mayor announced a ban on restaurants and bars serving customers on site during late night and early morning hours throughout the New Year's weekend, but Gov. Greg Abbott quickly attacked the move and said the city isn't authorized to exceed his statewide restrictions. According to the city’s order, dine-in food and beverage service will be restricted both indoors and outdoors from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. starting Thursday and ending at 6 a.m. Sunday. Those businesses can continue to offer drive-thru, curbside pick-up, take out, or delivery services. “We are now facing our most dangerous surge,” Austin Mayor Steve Adler said during a Wednesday press conference. “We could be facing something more severe and more extreme than what we have seen in the past. I want to make real clear that this is not about government and this is not about politics.” Abbott tweeted on Tuesday that Adler doesn't have authority to issue such a local order. “My executive order stops cities like Austin from arbitrarily shutting down businesses,” he said. “The city has a responsibility to enforce existing orders, not make new ones.” But the governor has remained silent about similar orders in El Paso County that covered the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays. The governor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Texas Tribune. On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter to both Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown that said Austin's order was "unlawful and unenforceable" and threatened legal action if they don't "immediately rescind or, at a minimum, modify your orders" so they comply with the state's regulations. Austin’s order, which carries a maximum fine of $1,000 for violators but no jail time, does not violate the state’s regulation because it’s “just an operational constraint,” Adler said, adding that “the reason that we are doing this is because it focuses on the activity where people are together without wearing masks.” During his press conference, Adler encouraged Austinites to support restaurants through delivery and take out and “tip and overtip, because these people and these businesses are taking a severe and significant financial hit for the greater good, and we as a community can help mitigate that.” Austin and Travis County officials warned that the area has seen a troubling rise in COVID-19 cases and they are worried about hospital capacity. In the last month, the county's positivity rate — the percentage of tests that come back positive for COVID-19 — and ICU bed usage have almost doubled. New daily cases have more than quadrupled in the same period, according to the county's COVID-19 dashboards. “Today in Texas, COVID-19 represents one in five of every person hospitalized,” said Mark Escott, interim health authority and public health medical director for the City of Austin and Travis County. “The policies that we’ve had have not worked to curb the spread of the disease … Now it’s the time to reconsider those decisions so that we can protect Texas.” On Twitter, the Texas Restaurant Association called on Austin businesses to follow Abbott’s guidance and said that “a curfew is not allowed.” “Restaurants are deeply invested within their communities, and so they continue to do all they can to prevent the spread of COVID-19, often at tremendous cost,” the organization's tweet said. “Closing indoor dining will not prevent holiday celebrations; it will simply move them from highly regulated businesses into completely unregulated spaces at a critical time in our COVID-19 response.” Last month, El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego announced a similar curfewfor Thanksgiving as COVID-19 cases increased in the border county. And earlier this month, Samaniego issued a similar measure for Christmas and New Year's celebrations. The county has banned all social activities — including restaurant dine-in services — from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. between Dec. 30 and Jan. 4 but allows take out and drive thru service. After he issued the Thanksgiving order, Samaniego said that he did so after what he said was a “favorable” discussion with Abbott’s office and a representative from the Texas Attorney General’s office. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned Americans to avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces and recommended that people stay at home for New Year's Eve or celebrate virtually.

Ted Cruz's existence on this planet seems a little excessive

So what is the TEA's stated rationale for only funding all-remote (which is a temporary measure anyway) at 50%? I get they want schools open but there has to be some reason given beyond just being punitive?? What good is having "independent" school districts with no discretion based on community conditions or ability to access our own tax dollars to fully fund short-term remote learning when covid numbers are skyrocketing? Sorry...I think I know the answer is just "fuck you my freedumb economy eagle flag hurr durr open" etc. but this is madness.

Kimberly used to be very pretty when she was with Newsom. And it's not age.... it's like the ugly in her soul manifesting itself. She had delicate features and now she's coarse and vulgar -- broadened, flat coke nose; inflated lips; cheesy Kardashian-style weave. She looks like what she essentially is now -- a mafia girlfriend. Same with Maria Bartiromo. I know it's not cool to pick apart people's looks, but the transformations are remarkable.

And the knock on Dr. Jill is that her degree is not elite ENOUGH to be legit. The irony of the snobbery angle is lost on the "anti-elitists."

So this is what we're gonna do, huh....attack the First Lady before she's even in office when she has quite literally done nothing wrong. I can't recall, did Rachel Maddow or Scarborough call Melania a whore, a gold digger, a bad example for girls, anything that could have been said? All I remember is Melania wearing "I REALLY DON'T CARE DO U" to visit children ripped from their parents and caged by her husband's team of ghouls before most anyone rightly ripped her a new one. The right just loves to destroy and never ever build.... doing something uplifting is for suckers I guess

if the base eventually could conceive of them as D operatives or deep state, in their abject failure, it really would be the greatest grift of all time..and could possibly lead to some losses for the Dems. But, I think we're lucky to be slicing our ass on one end of Occam's Razor due to nutwing incompetence

Yes. And while we laugh at some of the antics, when is this enough?? When do we stop indulging this, and the tacit incitement of violence? All of the country who is not Trump's base has been patiently waiting for any accountability or consequences whatsoever, and apparently there's a belief that any consequences will just goad more craziness and threats of violence, and then actual violence.. But fuck that -- there is either a rule of law or there is none, any longer, for the foreseeable future. These miscreants are going to howl no matter what, it's time for some criminal and civil legal shit to rain down on them.

God Bannon is just a dumb drunk nihilist shitbag. Anyone who ever thought of him as a mastermind vastly overrated his intellect.

Lulz

what's wrong with Sidney Powell's voice? Is she like 95? Brain worms and malice are a bad combo.

I don't understand -- what's the (stated) need to add instructional time if they go all-remote -- with the hybrid model now, the remote kids don't need to do anything extra. Just seems punitive and sadistic.

Don't think he was really equating the two but maybe it's a Texas thing...... Disclosure: I'm a lawyer, and the state Bar Journal that every single lawyer gets monthly has a section fully outing all the lawyers who've been disciplined up to disbarment, full names and their city. Really, it's the only entertaining thing in there. I also did open records rulings for a while, and the process for doctor discipline w/the board of medical examiners is only marginally less internal and compromised than the cops' process. Hell, we had a doctor here who was either purposely or negligently paralyzing people because he had zero qualifications for the back surgeries he was doing and he was coked up all the time -- and it practically took an act of god to get him to stop. The doctors' lobby in Texas is crazy powerful and they don't just submit to requests for accountability or even continuing education. Things may be different where you practice. Just saying.

wtf happened to Ricky Schroder?? Is he the new Chachi?

This would be fun -- let's poll Republicans and see how many support the plots against Whitmer. Guessing the average self-identified Republican these days would be a razor-thin hair left of Tim McVeigh these days.

Doesn't he believe that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids? I think he has an actual brain malfunction. Physician, heal thyself.

doesn't stop people from believing the Bible

My god. Put the quaaludes down and take a fucking look around.

No one perturbed that the GA secretary of state explicitly said that he's not pleased with the outcome of the presidential vote?? Even if he is committed to not fucking with the vote count, that's a hugely bullshit thing to say to the world, JFC

My first measure of justice is that NY needs to have an indictment drawn up to drop immediately upon his leaving office, and fuck public opinion of that. I doubt they need more info to have probable cause of at least one felony. What do you think are the odds (real question, not being an asshole )?

I've long since given up on any idea that these fucker will face any consequences, much less the actual justice they deserve and the country needs.

2020 took RBG, it should take Mitch out too for balance Or, I'd be ok with saying take Chuck and Mitch, IDGAF
