dpberr Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I think the sexual harassment allegations gives him an easy out. It's little coincidence that started warming up as questions about the nursing homes gained a little traction. I don't think he knew about the cover up personally and he's refusing to go down for it. He's in self preservation mode. I'm sure the plan is to resign well before any in-depth investigation into the nursing homes begins and there will be a concerted effort to "move on" and get back to normal. Why? I think the fatalities at the nursing homes are significantly higher than what's been revealed to date, there were things done not in accord with the law, and somebody will need to go to jail for it. 2

I especially liked the comment form Anna Navarro-Cardenas that Cuomo’s press conferences were “chicken soup for the soul”. Sure, the chicken soup doled out to our elderly, infirmed and confined population included 2 part chicken broth 1 part COVID, and yeah, they were forced to consume it, but great analogy. Yet another reason to acknowledge that just because someone has a Twitter handle and an opinion doesn’t mean they are not dumb as *&$#. 1

SoCal Deek Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I heard someone comment the other night: Cuomo served his purpose as a political foil for Trump during the run up to the election. They don’t need him anymore, so he’s being tossed aside. It makes you wonder who the heck is actually pulling the strings inside or behind the Democratic Party these days. Everyone knows that they think and use talking points in lock step. Where is the Party headed if they’ll toss the Governor of NY in the trash to get there. 2

The trump party really has no leg to stand on when it comes to sexual harassment claims, don't you think? The answer to the issue with Cuomo is simple; he screwed up and he should not remain in office. The same should have been said about Trump before he ever got elected. Biden to me not so much; his was acting in his mind more paternalistic to me but I can appreciate the argument against that. Now you have this young Congressman from NC that is being shown to have a sexual harassment history. We used to have people of integrity running for office. That used to be a pre-requisite; things like character mattered. Now it's just a cesspool all around. And please stop with the Democrats being in lock step as if they are unique in that regard. Or did you not watch any of the CPAC conference this past weekend? 1

Or did you not watch any of the CPAC conference this past weekend? My comments were analytical, not political. My comment about lock step was not to suggest right against left. My point is that there’s a reason why the Left isn’t coming to his aid right now where they have with others in their circle. Cuomo was a superstar just weeks ago? But we all know that wasn’t true. He was being used as a foil. He was useful. Now, he isn’t. Politics is an ugly business on BOTH sides of the aisle. The question you always should be asking is what’s going on behind the scenes, and who’s pulling the levers? 1

Or did you not watch any of the CPAC conference this past weekend? On the heels of the dust-up where you thought I called you a liar, I want to let you know that I think you seem like a good man. Smart, thoughtful, introspective and while I disagree with a lot of things you say, I understand where you're coming from. You remind me of one of my buddies on the West Coast, a guy I respect yet have no earthly clue how he developed some of his thought processes. With that in mind... This is the type of boomer thought process that has, in part, brought us to where we are today. Classic enablement, bending over to contort oneself to prop up the support of a guy who exhibits the tendency of a sexual predator. Biden "paternalistic"? He was accused by 8 women of making them uncomfortable with his hands, proximity and nuzzling their hair. He was accused by a 9th with violent sexual assault. He ran in the halls of the Senate as a good old boy, back when women were mindful of who might be in the elevator or might sneak up behind them in the supplies closet. The problem with Cuomo isn't what is happening today---the problem is these patterns don't suddenly appear out of nowhere. It would seem fairly obvious this has been his MO, bully, grab, grope and move on to the next. Where the heck is the media on this issue? Obviously they were in the same space when he was doing the unthinkable during COVID and blaming everyone but himself, cooking the books all day long. As for Trump, we all see things through our own lens. I see a guy who was a media darling for decades, friend to all the notable folks who wanted to stand in the bright light he cast, and undoubtably chasing women by the score. I knew the fix was in when the infamous Billy Bush tape "surfaced"--when he switched from media darling to public enemy number one. What he said was and is fundamentally and demonstrably true. The terms 'groupie' and 'golddigger' have historically been used to categorize women of the sort DJT was referring to. To pretend that isn't a part of life for the rich and famous is just plain silly. I've not yet met one woman--conservative, liberal, or in-between who hasn't indicated as much. That said--you choose to believe he's serial sexual abuser, I get that. However, carrying Biden's water as he nuzzled his franks and beans into the backside of women, often as their husbands and families stood close by simply encourages predatory behavior. He did it because he IS Joe Biden and because he knew he could. He was right. Finally, the good old days of politics. Are you speaking of the time of McCarty and the red scare? The Kennedy brothers taking turns with a starlet desperate for love and cozying up to the mob? Or the other one--the guy who's definition of character was skating around Martha's Vineyard with young woman and heroically reporting he left her at the bottom of the pond promptly within 10 hours of doing so. Much has been written about that incident, but it certainly can be said that had they just gotten there at 9 hours and 54 minutes she had a real chance to survive. Maybe you meant Nixon? Or Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam war? Maybe it was the Keating 5, or Bill Clinton and his famous habit of aging his smokes in that humidor aged for 24 years in the hills of Marin County? Then again, maybe you are going all the way back to the days of Geo Washington. One thing is certain--Biden represents just about the perfect stereotype of a politician--a glad hander who can't keep track of the lies he's told, a guy with a penchant for saying the strangest things, a guy who feels like women are his personal property, and when called on it, a guy who apologized for the women not understanding him and who he is. Cuomo did the same thing, and it will work for the same reasons---lots of folks will breathe a sigh of relief that Cuomo woked up and 'owned' it. Edited March 2, 2021 by leh-nerd skin-erd 1
