What did you want him to actually, physically do? Run around and put masks on people? Wave a fan and blow the virus back to China? Restrict travel from China? ..........Oh wait, he did that.

How bout for 1 not lie about the virus being airborne. How many people do you think that killed? And that was a deliberate lie. Or 2, not hold super spreader events.. How many people do you think that killed?

The Democrats have shown an amazing ability to kill their best. I will never forgive Amy Klobucher for helping to force out Al Franken when the me-too era was at it's peak. Contrast with the GOP, who apparently won't abandon Trump, or even say anything remotely bad about him, regardless of what he does.

He could have not been a sniveling crybaby about wearing a mask. He could have told his idiot supporters to wear their mask for the good of the country to limit the spread of the virus. Instead he created a dumb mask “culture” war, using the term culture loosely, because he is mentally stunted and only capable of emotional outbursts in place of real leadership. He and his sheep followers are one of the greatest failures this country has ever seen.

How did he cause the deaths of 10's of thousands of elderly people? And why are you not blaming Trump for the same when he knew the virus was airborne?

That's not what the issue is. Apparently there is some kind of coverup about the true numbers + all the women coming out with allegations. Others are arguing that he caused the deaths by ordering sick people to be placed in nursing homes among other vulnerable elderly. It's full retard to blame one man for COVID deaths, whether it be Cuomo, Trump or another leader. But, that's how some of the knuckle draggers roll around here. They also can't seem to stay on topic, or about the subject, which is Cuomo, without deflecting off to Trump or someone. It seems Democrats can't seem to deal when it is one from their own party under fire, so the fucking whataboutism has to kick in. Whataboutism, btw, is a silly word the left invented to defend their own hypocrisy.

Amy Klobuchar went easy on Franken. You're thinking about Kristen Gillibrand.

The goal is to exercise power but not become Trump and the Republicans. Cuomo has always failed that test for me amongst many reasons I'd be perfectly happy to see him launched into the political sun, never to return.

So strange. Causing the deaths of old people by direct action and trying to hide it is no big deal, but hitting on staffers is going to get him canned.
I didn't expect to find myself more conservatively, morally outraged by Cuomo than you are. I want him out of office if he is guilty of either charges and beyond that am thinking he probably is guilty of both. I can't minimize the hitting on staffers as some sort of minor or acceptable offense. I believe such things can do deep emotional damage to people and are done only by people who are perfectly happy to seek gratification of their own needs regardless of what damage that may do to others. He showed himself, I fear, to be a needy little worm instead of what I think of as a real man. Naturally, that is my feeling and it is based on the pain I see in the world brought about to others from such actions.

I am a man. I have all the feelings men have. I know what it is to long, to ache for a woman, but I have never allowed that to express itself in any overt actions since I was a child where I learned that such expressions could be unwelcome. There is nothing I find more contemptuous than people who use cunning, power, or position to take advantage of innocent people, sexually or otherwise. But that's conservative-values me.

These two issues then look like the same thing to me, an attempt by Cuomo to protect himself from public condemnation related to moral failure. He is toast in my opinion due to the conservative values of liberals

I thought we should have had a healthy human for President instead of a deranged narcissistic psychopath who cares only for himself. I find it hard to credit people being blind to that fact. It is profoundly self evident in my opinion. So what is your opinion of him? Do you really think somebody like him ever could make America Great Again? Somebody that obviously sick? Can you explain to yourself how you you came to need such belief so distant from reality?

A number of prominent democrats have called for Cuomo to step down, including Andrea Stewart-Cousins. How many Republicans called for Trump to step down after he illegally used campaign money to pay a porn actress hush money? How many Republicans called for Trump to step down when he purposefully withheld critical information about the pandemic from the American people?

Both the NY Senate leader and House speaker (both Democrats) are calling on Cuomo to resign. If these charges deem true, including fudging the states nursing home virus numbers, he needs to step away. He can make up a health reason for all I care, but he needs to let someone else run the state. He’s lost his moral authority. There are plenty of good politicians in New York state who could pursue his preferred policies - rather than looking like another sleazy career politician. .

Fox News is taking the approach of calling him a "predator", and also is seeming to cast similar aspersions on Biden (The headline: What About You, Joe?). On Fox News, it’s apparently the biggest story in the country right now. They think Cuomo’s accusers "deserve to be heard". Who would have thought that they would be so opposed to this kind of behavior?

The only thing for me to add is that I totally agree with you.

Republicans are whining about “cancel culture”, but Donnie Jr. wants Cuomo’s book canceled.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-tru...eal-says-apply-cancel-culture-equally-1573244

“Simon & Schuster cancelled their contract with Josh Hawley, but Crown is going to stick by a credibly accused serial sexual harasser just because he’s a Democrat? What kind of message does that send? What are the rules? That’s all I’m asking,” Trump Jr. told The Daily Wire on Monday.

“Cancel culture is awful, but all I’m saying is that the rules should be applied equally,” he said.

So, is he arguing that Crown should cancel their contract with Cuomo and then Regnery should offer him a new contract? Because that’s what happened with Hawley’s book deal.

The “rules”, Dumbass, are that a publisher can choose to seek or terminate a business relationship with any author based on whether they think association with that author will be helpful or harmful to their brand. That’s it. There is no “rule” saying that Regnery has to refuse to publish Hawley’s book because S&S refused to do so, or that Regnery has to be willing to publish Cuomo’s book if Crown is willing to do so. Publishers are entitled to make their own decisions in this matter without reference to your toddler whinings about what you consider “fair” or not.

I personally wouldn’t care at all if Crown decided to drop Cuomo from their author list due to his negative publicity. There are going to be plenty of important informative books about the COVID crisis coming out over the next few years, and I’m not convinced Cuomo’s would be any great loss.

Facepalm.

You guys already ruined the word literally, now you're doing the same thing with direct.

Freakin millennials.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say posting on a PC centric internet forum is not really a "millennial" thing.

Especially strange pejorative from a 2012 join date to a 2006 join date.

No he didn't, you fucking liar.

Maybe if you actually spent a minute investigating what actually happened, and not what serial liar Trump said that he did.

still, funny how you excuse Trump's planned murder of 500k+ Americans, through direct action and gross incompetence but then blame Cuomo for something at, quantitatively, far less scale.

fuck you, grenade boy.

Poor wording on my part. The nursing home mess isn't receiving the same attention in local news as the sexual harassment stuff. I find that odd.
Let's blame what Americans like to click on or hear about on Democrats and their policy choices.

While I know you didn't say he was, I feel like we should be very clear here - Cuomo is 1000% NOT among the Democrats' best.

Hmm, it a bit unclear what this thread is about :D.

Anyway, 5 women have come forward now. Cuomo is toast, he just doesn't know it yet. He wants to go down fighting - fine, he'll find out how well that works just like many other politicians. That said, I''m not for NY and don't have a dog in this fight.

I am from NY, and I say hold him to task. As we saw from Giuliani, a person's actions and behaviors when things are at their worst doesn't necessarily absolve them from their sins when things are their best.

Well Fox News should be the last network stating that Cuomo should go, they’re claiming the left is not pushing him out hard enough. Guess they forgot about the leader of the republicans and former President they ignored/made excuses for the last five years.
I think he should change his party to republican and make Fox then defend him.
