Republicans believe Diplo and Chris Rock have contracted and will spread ebola after they got rescued in a fan’s truck pickup at Burning Man.
Thousands of other attendees, however, have been asked to shelter in place and conserve food and water.
Chris Rock is no longer trapped at the Burning Man Festival. The 58-year-old comedian made it out after he and Diplo hitched a ride with a fan who offered them a ride on the back of his pickup truck.
The famous DJ took to Instagram moments ago and posted a video showing him, Rock and a few others in the bed of a pickup truck. Diplo shared that they walked for six miles before someone offered them a ride. The comedian rocked a New York Knicks jacket, black hat and shades. After getting out of dodge Rock made it clear what he wanted next, a cold brew!
In February 2019, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to secure funding that Congress had expressly denied for the construction of a wall along the southern border. Before that declaration, most Americans were unaware that a vast set of laws gives the president greatly enhanced powers during emergencies. The Brennan Center, building on previous research, has identified 135 statutory powers that may become available to the president when he declares a national emergency, including the power President Trump invoked to help build the wall (10 U.S.C. 2808 (a)). The Brennan Center’s research is presented in the two tables below. The first lists several important laws that establish general frameworks for different kinds of emergencies (including national emergencies, major disasters, public health emergencies, etc.). The second sets forth the 148 statutory provisions available during national emergencies; it displays these powers by subject matter, specifies the conditions triggering their use, and lists the occasions on which they have been invoked.
Currently, more than 73,000 festival attendees and campers are trapped with no access in or out of the Burning Man festival that takes place in Black Rock City, Nevada. This situation has arisen after a heavy overnight rainstorm transformed the once dry, dusty desert into an undrivable mud pit, causing disastrous conditions. Festival-goers have been asked to shelter in place and conserve food and water due to the poor conditions. Travelers were informed that burning man festival is closed, and anyone heading to the festival will be turned away, as a national emergency has been declared at the festival.
