Cuomo deserves what's coming. \:D/
This is true, by why did people not go after him when he turned 15,000 covid patients out of hospitals to die in long-term care homes? Where were the complaints when he fudged the numbers in his award winning book? This is not to say he should not be charged for crimes against women in a court of law, but where were these outraged people when Cuomo sent the 15,000 to their deaths. Are Democrats hypocrites?

With Covid, fortunately for Cuomo, he kind of gets cover when you look at how the Governors of Texas and Florida are still carrying on. I suspect history is in many ways going to be very harsh on Cuomo (and other political figures in the US).

Cuomo's your standard drunk on power politician or bueaucrat who think the laws, regulations and policies that apply to the average schmuck don't apply to them. His media talking head brother is exactly the same.. This isn't a partisan thing, the entitlement mindset applies to many in positions of power and influence..

I get your point but it diverts from the hard question. Cuomo was praised by a number of celebrities and politicians for his covid policy and his subsequent book in which he lied. The Florida Governor seems to be ignorant and very few people outside the anti-vaccination crowd admire his approach to the Wuhan flu. Yet when it became known that Cuomo was bogus and had sent 15,000 people to their deaths, did his former admirers turn on him, and demand that he resign? No. Why? Why was it that his lies about covid deaths and misguided covid policy not seen as important as his sexual improprieties? Why did they not ask him to resign before the sexual issue emerged?

He may not be out of the neck of the woods, yet, on the aged care home deaths. Once he is officially no longer Governor, in another 12 or so days, I think his immunity all but disappears (if he had any) and then he and others may well be fair game for a civil lawsuit, from the families of the victims. They just love civil lawsuits in America :-k

Then there is Attorney General Letitia James, I am not sure that she has finished with him, yet

Yes, I understand all of that, but it does not answer my question. I am interested in knowing why the celebrities and politicians who praised Cuomo's covid policy and book, for which he received an Emmy, only turned on him when the sexual issue appeared. Why weren't they demanding his resignation when they learnt about his lies over covid? Is the deaths of so many people not as important as the sexual touching and talk? What really matters to the celebrities and politicians?

Because grabbing a woman's ass is more egregious than killing 15,000 nursing home patients.

This is the absurdity of leftist "progressive" nonsense. Makes me ****** sick.

It is not so much a matter of one over the other. It is a conglomeration of things, the entire body of work, that did him in. If the flood of assault allegations had been first and the covid deaths in nursing homes all come next, then the covid deaths would have been the straw. Even the complicit media gets to a point that they can no longer shill for their heroes.

However, the blindness of the Left to death should come as no surprise. This is the group that is pro abortion, infanticide and even some who favor geronticide. Their surrogates destroyed and burned American cities and murdered dozens of innocent people during the summer of 2020. Some Leftists even call for the mowing down of unarmed protesters with with automatic weapons. The Left is not pro life, and it is especially true for those who disagree with them. One needs only look at their history to understand.

OK LYM, I will try to answer, in a 3 part response.

1.When you are all part of a clicky group, you will turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of your friends/compatriots, even if it is a criminal or illicit act. :-k
2.When you are part of a bunch of hypocrites, with no moral rectitude/integrity or no sense of righteousness, you become complacent with being, another As..hole and ignore your own acts and those of your friends [-X :-k
3.When your only purpose in life is to extend your own wealth, ego and ultimate power, with blatant disregard for others, you don't really give a F..ck about applying the Laws to yourself or your friends [-( :-k

Political persuasion can be a form of Dogma. :-k

When I say you, I don't mean You, if that make sense \:D/ \:D/

Thank you Giggle, Declan and Pipoz for the answers. There seems to be much truth in what you say, and it explains a lot about politics in the U.S.A.

Giggles says above he is "****** sick" - which comes as no surprise to many of us.

Do you have a cure for that Uncle, or at the very least, suggest a way forward?

Another one, bites the Dust. Well actually two insignificant,ones? =D> =D>

1. Roberta Kaplan, Who Aided Cuomo, Resigns from Time’s Up. Ms. Kaplan, a prominent progressive lawyer, was involved in an effort to discredit a woman who had accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, a report said.

Time’s Up, the organization founded by Hollywood women to fight sexual abuse and promote gender equality. Time’s Up was set up in response to the #MeToo movement to promote gender equality. [-( [-(

2. Melissa DeRosa, top aide to Cuomo, resigns in wake of state attorney general’s report. The top aide to New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo resigned on Sunday night after the release last week of a searing report by the state attorney general’s office that detailed her role in an effort to discredit a former aide who accused Cuomo of harassment

I just have to wonder what severance packages they are getting :confused: :-k It shouldn't take 14 Days :-k to revise the severance document, multiply the original figure by 5, and then resign the approval. Opp's I forgot they need to photocopy it and shred the original version. =; :-k :-k

No, I am not a doctor in that sense. However, the acquisition of a companion dog, such as a miniature poodle, a chihuahua or one of those stupid-looking pugs might help. Khun Westerby, Fawn, Matron et al used to have a pink poodle that soothed his tortured soul.

The pink poodle is on remand at HMP Pentonville for sniffing ladies front bottoms in a department store. But I digress, America is responsible for emitting 15% of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (I read that somewhere), it's coming apart at the seams.

You imply that I'm grooming your dog because I want him to sniff my front bottom?

And another thing, there's a report on the BBC tonight that asserts the lowest number of vaccination take ups in Louisiana is among the highest areas of Trump supporters.

Bonkers innit.
