Alaska State Senator Lora Reinbold is teh Angreh
It's Friday so you know what that means! That's right, it's Lora Reinbold Facebook time. Scary!
Much to the ire of Lora Reinbold, Governor Dunleavy has announced that he will be signing another COVID-19 emergency declaration for another thirty days. In his announcement, Dunleavy seems to infer that the battle on COVID-19 is nearly over because Alaska is getting a minimal shipment of the vaccine which will be used to vaccinate healthcare workers. It is not expected that the public at large will begin receiving the vaccine for at least 3-4 months.
Anyway, Lora Reinbold is very angreh, writing on her Facebook page, "As I have warned for many months - this governor has no intention of letting go of his illegal dictatorship: disaster declarations, unconstitutional mandates and usurping the legislature again and again. I put forth a resolution and legislation via an amendment that almost passed in May, on the Senate floor to end his disaster powers, that are only to last 30 days in state statute!"
It's not clear if Mrs. Reinbold is anger-eating the cake she made for Alaska Airlines flight attendants.
Mrs. Reinbold had a busy Facebook week as she posted about flight attendants in China wearing diapers, shared a flyer about a rally featuring the Grinch "spreading cheer," posted some COVID-19 conspiracy theory stuff, linked to a blog post about a mask mandate being defeated in Palmer (because more virus in the state is absolutely a good thing), and 17 Benjamin Franklin quotes about tyranny, liberty and rights.
Social media users have claimed Reinbold has been blocking people (on Facebook) who post comments on her Facebook page who do not agree with her various positions or viewpoints. In 2019, a Federal Appeals Court upheld a lower court decision from 2018 that said Donald Trump conducts government business on his personal Twitter account, so all Americans must be able to access it. I've read on social media that some Alaskans may be considering a similar legal course of action against the state senator.
"As I have warned for many months -this governor has no intention of letting go of his illegal dictatorship..." - Alaska State Senator Lora Reinbold
4/4 Yikes.
