Irv Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Dems used Cuomo to fight Trump. No longer needed. Buh-bye. 1
SectionC3 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 2 hours ago, snafu said: IMO this comes right out of D.C. Kills two birds with one stone... One bird = keeps Cuomo out of the 2024 primaries vs. Harris. Other bird = will make NYS progressive and that's probably a payback to the progressive part of the Biden coalition. Yeah no. Harris isn’t worried about AC. And she wasn’t before this whole thing started. Tell me how AC wins a primary south of the Mason Dixon line and we can talk. I agree that this is NYS issue. A little weakness was sensed after the nursing home issue came to light (that’s Tish James doing him dirty), and a bunch of people with an axe to grind nailed him. The latest, and most damaging one, was organic, and she only came to light at this point because AC doubled down on what appears to be a lie about not touching anyone inappropriately.
SectionC3 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 So here’s another layer. Garvey (Cuomo’s attorney) referred this thing to the Albany PD. Smart move, but kind of shady. Accuser #6 apparently doesn’t want to talk to the cops, so AC put her in a vice: either she’s got to talk and come forward and deal with the resultant nonsense, or she doesn’t talk and will be discredited for that reason. Bold move on his part. Big gamble. Let’s see how thing plays out.

I think there’s logs of who reached the second floor of the mansion. And, if it is tried, the People probably could get in testimony from Bennett. This is bad for the gov. I though he would survive before these allegations. Now, I don’t.
LeviF Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Reminder that this is all a smokescreen to keep cuomo killed grandma out of the news. 3

ALF Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 On 3/10/2021 at 1:55 PM, ALF said: U.S. attorney, FBI investigating Cuomo's handling of nursing home deaths “As we publicly said, DOJ has been looking into this for months. We have been cooperating with them and we will continue to," a senior advisor for the governor, Rich Azzopardi, said Wednesday night. Current and former law enforcement officials say investigators are in the very early stages of their probe and the possible investigative avenues could include false statements, any scheme to defraud the federal government of funds or any misuse of federal funds. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-attorney-fbi-investigating-cuomo-s-handling-nursing-home-n1258207 6 hours ago, LeviF91 said: Reminder that this is all a smokescreen to keep cuomo killed grandma out of the news.

Again, the party is pretty diverse. If you said "certain elements of the party," I might agree with you. But here's why your statement about "the party" misses the mark. The party, right now, by and large is Cuomo. He picked the state chair, and he has a decent amount of control over the state delegates (through dealings with county chairs, who decide who run for such things). The state party hasn't asked him out yet (at least publicly). The county chairs haven't dumped him, either (too many friends on the payroll somewhere). It's the electeds who have turned on him. They're members of the party, but they are not the party. Big difference. 1

Unforgiven Posted March 12, 2021 Author Posted March 12, 2021 New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) defied New York Congressional Democrats’ call for him to step down Friday, insisting that he is actually a victim of “cancel culture.” Bwahahahahahahahaha 1
T master Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 You know it's really getting bad when the likes of AOC, Chuck Schumer, and other top Dems are saying Cuomo needs to step down he definitely Shat where he eats !!
PetermansRedemption Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Not sure how much longer Cuomo can hang on now. He has no allies left anywhere.

He will try to wait it out. He won’t make a hasty decision, as did Spitzer. It’s going to take a Goldwater/Rhodes type of visit to get him out.

Again the fudged data and assaults would have been as hidden as they were the past year if not for Democrats suddenly speaking out now that Biden is in office. I don't know if I buy that he was installed as a foil, since there were better candidates, but if they did, he was a monster of their own creation. Or he created himself and in either case many different elements in the party don't want such an uncouth ruffian running for President and potentially ruining it for Kammy. And obviously his lackeys won't turn on him until the bitter end.

The party itself didn’t act there, much as the party itself didn’t catalyze what has occurred here.
The Frankish Reich Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 On 3/8/2021 at 10:40 AM, The Frankish Reich said: Thoughts about Cuomo: - the classic lecher who hits on every young woman the office hires. And I can only assume it may have worked, at least a little, once or twice or he wouldn’t keep trying. - or is he really that slow to catch on? Maybe. I mean, read the openly available profiles of his alleged victim Charlotte Bennett: https://conandaily.com/2021/02/28/charlotte-bennett-biography-13-things-about-andrew-cuomos-ex-aide/ Very public about having been the victim of sexual assault. Worked on these issues. I’m just gonna say, “Unlikely subject to react well to old creeper big boss’s “playful” banter.” Andrew, it’s called google ... you type in a name, you find out who you’re dealing with before you go all repulsive old man on her. - are these offenses that he should resign over? It’s getting closer. The one thing I haven’t seen so far: did any of these women see their career paths hindered by their refusal to indulge the handsy, chatty Gov? If so, he’s gotta go. Right now he’s in a gray area on that front. Don’t give me “but Al Franken” - he shouldn’t have resigned over his corny boomer antics either. Full disclosure: I’m a boomer myself. I have daughters just like the Gov. Maybe you should see what they think about an old creeper asking his female staffers whether they’ve had sex with an older man. What kind of loser quotes himself? Me, I guess. Here's why. We now have enough credible allegations of what can only be called "workplace harassment" (I'm excluding the "he put his arm around me at a wedding" type things) that in my opinion we've reached the tipping point. Andrew, it doesn't appear to have sunk in with you yet, but here's the truth: your political career is over. Time to resign.
