Andrew Cuomo has survived?

We have lots of other things to focus on like people still dying and trying to get the country back on it’s feet.

The investigations are still ongoing. It all depends on the findings whether Cuomo survives or not.

Unfortunately, yes he’s safe and will likely finish the rest of his term. But any hopes of a fourth term or a presidential run are probably in the toilet now.

He’s a Democrat so the rules don’t apply to him. If he was a republican, he would be history already. The left and the Democrats killed the me too movement. Believe only women who accuse republicans.

He and DeBlasio destroyed New York City. Cuomo’s $15K checks to illegals and ex-cons will finish the city off once and for all.

If there's one thing we've learned from him and others like Ralph Northam - NEVER resign, don't even apologize really. Just brazen it out, everything passes. Companies should take note of this, too, with regard to foolish boycotts.

Agreed r4. There is a need to get things done quickly. If you just hold out, the legacy media will move on to the next story and people will forget.

R4: Or just become president. It worked for Trump.

Fuck!

r7 Seriously. What a fucking idiot you were.

Politicians have learned from Al Franken. Do not resign when the hysteria is at its peak. Let the investigations proceed in due course.

This applies to Matt Gaetz as well. He won’t resign until he’s officially charged with a crime and probably not even then.

We have two separate sets of rules in this country. One for Democratic politicians, and another set for everyone else.

Al was one of the early me-tooed. Cuomo benefits from it all being a bit played out at this point. Biden just completely ignored his accuser, and not even Rose McGowan speaking up for her made any difference.

Look he's a democrat so nothing will happen to him but he's still kind of vulnerable. That's why he has to appease the radical left with his bail reform and free everything for illegals.

[quote] get the country back on it’s feet.

Oh, dear!

Yes, you’re “right” OP, because ethics and politics are just a quiz show with arbitrary time limits and right and wrong answers.

[quote] He’s a Democrat so the rules don’t apply to him. If he was a republican, he would be history already.

Yup. Just like all those other GQPers who resigned or became history.

Like, um, well, um, like, certainly Matt, no, that doesn’t work. Like....

I’m going to need a few minutes. Come back to me.

[quote] He’s a Democrat so the rules don’t apply to him. If he was a republican, he would be history already. The left and the Democrats killed the me too movement. Believe only women who accuse republicans.

It's not that because he's a Democrat he was spared. The party is a lot more cohesive than the GOP at this point. It is easy for factions within a party to use a scandal like this to take out guys who are weak. That's what's hopefully going to happen with Gaetz. In spite of all the hatred for AOC et., al. the Democrats at this point do not attack their own. They stick together.

Trump survived for 4 years - why should Cuomo resign. He should stick it out and let it pass. I’m only upset with the new budget - but it is largely due to the ABSENCE of Cuomos power input. I only care how things are run. The new NYS budget is a mess - but other people need to be held to blame and Cuomo should do so - especially as a lame duck.

[quote] He’s a Democrat so the rules don’t apply to him. If he was a republican, he would be history already. The left and the Democrats killed the me too movement. Believe only women who accuse republicans.

R3 I think you got it wrong here, it's totally on the opposite. He is a Democrat but he refused to step down, that's what Republicans usually did under the circumstance - I am not resigning! "Believe the women or not" is not an issue here, his fellow Democrats asked him to resign but he refused, just like Republicans, he ignored them and in my opinion, that's why he survived.

And let’s put this into perspective: These women are not accusing him of rape or sexual assault or anything that egregious.

They’re accusing him of making them feel “uncomfortable,” some of them literally years ago, by kissing them on the cheeks. Some of these allegations are absolutely laughable.

[quote]et., al.

Oh, dear!

[quote] He should stick it out and let it pass.

That’s what got him in trouble in the first place!

During the height of the pandemic, they need to portray Cuomo as a hero fighting against the villain Trump. Now that Trump is out of the picture and Biden is now in office, they can go after Cuomo.

R19 And that's the problem with this epidemic of wide-ranging allegations. After a while the public gets numb.

Did he kill someone? Or truly harm someone? Or just unnerve some woman with borderline personality disorder.

[quote] et., al.

That's a typo, and typos are generally not "oh dear" worthy.

Senator Mattress Girl BFF Gillibrand can lick my dirty shitter. Gawd I hate this bitch.

Trump Rule #2: A problem isn't a problem unless it lasts two news cycles.

[quote]his fellow Democrats asked him to resign but he refused, just like Republicans, he ignored them and in my opinion, that's why he survived.

Yup.

He's being allowed to finish out his term. Otherwise, he's finished politically. Way too much corruption and baggage that will be highlighted should he be dumb enough to consider running again.

He's a pathetic joke as is his brother.

The accusations weren’t very serious. Just obnoxious inappropriate flirting. Kissing on the cheek and pathetic attempts at flirtation nothing salacious or violent. A real sex scandal came in from Matt Gaetz to grab attention .

Two words:

Nipple Rings

Shouldn’t that be three words?

[quote] Otherwise, he's finished politically.

I think he’ll win NY again on the strength of his COVID response.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy about it, I just think that’s they way it’ll go.

[quote] Did he kill someone?

About 10,000 elderly people that were in nursing homes were he also forcibly sent Covid patients.

[quote] That's a typo,

Adding a period AND a comma where neither belong is now considered a “typo”?

The Democrats are trying to destroy him even more so than Republicans. They are sick of his ego and trying to control everything and everyone. His decisions early in the pandemic cost the lives of thousands of NYers in nursing homes who died and the subsequent cover up will be his undoing. Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim, who had a family member die of COVID in a nursing home outbreak, publicly called him out on it and asked for an investigation and impeachment, and then told the media how Cuomo threatened him. All much more believable than the Gloria Allred Brigade who had every opportunity to report Cuomo for inappropriate behavior for years but didn’t until now.

[quote] About 10,000 elderly people that were in nursing homes were he also forcibly sent Covid patients.

I love this talking point. As though he physically threw them in the home and locked the doors.

He mandated nursing homes could not refuse to accept COVID patients back (to THEIR homes, btw) unless they could properly care for them. If the nursing homes couldn’t care for them they shouldn’t have accepted them. But they weren’t about to turn away their patient$ regardless of whether they had the proper protocols in place.

By the way, the reasoning behind it harkens back to a dark time in the AIDS crisis when AIDS patients could legally be turned away solely by virtue of them having AIDS.

R36 That was the most surreal thing to me, DLers thinking this was a Republican/Trump hit on Cuomo. Um, no, the NY Republicans are completely feckless.

It was the Dems who hate Cuomo and wanted to be rid of him.

I hope he survives and is re-elected. He is an effective politician and I honestly don’t care about the “scandal” after we just let the country be run by a sociopathic, evil villain for 4 years. Politicians ain’t saints - I’m fine with that.

[quote]That was the most surreal thing to me

It's not surreal if you were paying attention to how he governed. Cuomo deliberately took power out of democrats hands and gave it to the Republicans.

I hope a good primary challenger is appointed this time around and not someone like Cynthia Nixon. Fortunately, I think the NY democratic establishment and progressives are teaming up to oust him for once and for all. And that makes me very happy. Because he's not getting my vote.

NY needs to stop electing these garbage politicians. Giuliani, Zeldin, Cuomo, Bloomberg. We just finished the end of one era of a sociopathic tyrant. Let's hope we can finish another.

Sex scandals no longer mean the end for politicians in both parties. Look at Matt Gaetz. He's still hanging on and could be re-elected if no charges are brought.

And it's not just sex scandals. The governor of Virginia refused to resign over a college picture of him in blackface, which would've been curtains for a Democrat just a few years ago. Politicians are getting savvy over the fact that most scandals are blown up in the media for a week or so, then quickly forgotten.

R7 someone needs to check Al Franken, he might develop a serous drinking problem now, it's understandably depressing for him.

I think Democrats are becoming increasingly cynical and fatigued with the whole double standards mentality pushed by the mainstream media. It's kind of funny how it blew over despite the medias most fervent efforts.

Who are the idiots saying he’ll survive because he’s a Democrat!?!

Ask al Franken. Democrats try to have the moral high ground so that when things like Matt gaetz come up, they can make an appropriately big deal out of it.

Rapist Donald trump did ok.

morons...

[quote] Democrats try to have the moral high ground

Trump go impeached, twice, for things he was innocent of. Cuomo killed 10,000 old people and he's still in office. Tell me about double standards.

I'd bet my last 20 bucks that R1 has raged against Woody Allen ad nauseam, never saw a #MeToo post she didn't up-vote, and has bitched about Matt Gaetz at least three times today already.

This thread is full of GOP trolls, including a lot of the supposedly pro-Cuomo ones. It's the usual divide and conquer bullshit that morons here love to react to.

The Cuomo name and I mean brother Fredo as well is dead. The Nursing Home Massacre and the cover up and the arrogance to write an aggrandizing book now out of print about handling the pandemic and of course that Emmy award are galling.

R48- The MOST galling thing that Andrew Cuomo did was having the Tappan Zee bridge renamed the Mario Cuomo bridge.

I saw him crawling on his dick, pushing it against the earth of NYC, in central park.

This is the value of filing a labor action, it takes forever and never leaves the news cycle.

Cuomo has survived the "he touched me" bitching.

But at no time did he expose his dick or shove it into another person.

Yes, he has survived.

"He’s a Democrat so the rules don’t apply to him."

Tell that to Al Franken, R3.

Unless the findings from Tish James' report (don't even get me started about the sham of an investigation by the assembly) are damning, he's likely to survive at this point. However, his career is all but finished. The question is whether he loses in a primary next year or if the Republican challenger beats him. A lot of you here are comparing him to Trump, but notice he's not the president anymore. Elected officials are basically above the law at this point and the voters are the only means of accountability they face. Sometimes scandals just become too much to withstand. This will prove true for Cuomo.

Good. I hope he's survived. More power to him.

What’s galling is your punctuation, R48.

R55 Thankfully, my mistake didn't lead to thousands of people dying. You've got your priorities mixed up. Your first priority should be getting laid. Isn't that what's really galling you?

Oh goody! 'The Andrew Cuomo nursing home scandal gets worse and worse.' Washington Examiner 4.29.21

Forget the diversion regarding inappropriate behavior and keep focusing on the "COVID Governor's" gross mishandling of the pandemic and all the lives it cost!!!!!

Why are Republican shits ALWAYS posting here? We don't want your propaganda.

R58 Then why not ignore it like you do all facts that go against your narrative?

R59 Why don't you shove Trumps dick up your ass? It would be honest at least. That's a FACT, shitbag.

^ Now there's an intelligent, carefully thought out response often found in angry trolls who really can't counter logic with reason and go on the attack.

You are not worth the effort. You are an insane troll, so why bother. Just fuck off and leave Don Jr.

R62 Then why are you making an effort? And it doesn't take effort to respond with something sensible, but that would take someone who is less triggered, actually has something to say and is more informed and intelligent than you. And your words belie everything you say.

Just fuck off Repub troll, that's all you have to do.

Get that "Oh, dear!" character out of here. I don't need to see his craving for attention over someone's typos.

Look, somebody is putting on a play to try and draw attention to this thread. Can I get a playbill?

R64 Is just a Democratic Proud Boy. The flip side of the same coin with no more intelligence than a pit bull. A basement dweller aggravated by the smell of his mom's crotch rot. More to be pitied than censured!

He did not do anything wrong. His accusers won't file a formal complaint.

R68 And the nursing home massacre? And surely those who run against him for Governor are not going to it be forgotten. To say nothing of the huge deficit incurred during his term as Governor and the shitstorm that is now NY.

No.

[quote] And surely those who run against him for Governor are not going to it be forgotten.

Challengers won't get any media coverage, so no one will be able to hear their message. The Democratic machine is very powerful in NY, and dispenses billions to its favored candidates and media outlets.

The Times and the Daily News will not use a drop of ink to cover anyone who tries to primary Cuomo. If the machine thinks Cuomo can survive this (and he seems to be) they will back him and smother any challengers.

Anyone from NY? Yang is getting lots of coverage and the support of the Jewish community.

He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole.

R71 Giuliani was a 2 term Republican Mayor of NY followed by 3 term Republican Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Thank you R49

Bring back the Tappan Zee

Mike Bloomberg was about as Republican as the boil on my ass.

R76 With all due respect to the boil on your ass, Bloomberg ran and won as a Republican and served an unprecedented 3 terms.

Not necessarily. Depends on his behavior and if there are other shoes to drop (women who are preparing to come forward and the nature of their allegations).

We're beyond the stage where a politician definitely resigns in the immediate revelation of harassment. Its more about the other victims preparing to come forward (which can be a process) and how terrible their allegations are.

Unprecedented = totally fucking illegal

Most of these accusations against Cuomo are coming from people supported by the national Democratic party, not the state party.

The DNC is looking ahead to 2024. The last thing they want is a challenge to Kamala from the center left, so they are trying to kneecap Cuomo early on.

Look for other viable national candidates to be bought off with cabinet positions, or ambassadorships that require them to leave the country. If that won't work, the DNC scandal-generating machine will be fully engaged to attack their reputation. (Be careful Andrew Yang and Tulsi!)

Top Democrats like AOC and Chuckie Schumer have been calling for his resignation and it would seem Andy Boy is now politically isolated and thanks to the deadly nursing home fiasco and the cover up, his chances for a Presidential run are about as good as De Blasio and Bloomberg's ill-fated attempts. How do you pronounce the past tense of throw?

Cuomo might still run for Governor. And win, it depends how the investigations turn out. The sexual accusation were pretty lame.

Trump was accused of rape or sexual assault by over 20 women and was caught on tape bragging about grabbing women by the pussy. Republicans clearly have no problem with it. Special assault and rape privileges.

R83 and Trump wasn't re elected and most likely neither will Cuomo

[quote]They’re accusing him of making them feel “uncomfortable,” some of them literally years ago, by kissing them on the cheeks.

They wouldn't last 5 minutes at one of our family parties, I always have one aunt kissing me or hugging me whether I ask for it or not. HA!

AOC is not top democrat.

She showboats. She's like Ilhan Omar, only uglier.

AOC has no accomplishment in congress

Plus she's ugly.

Well, I'm glad that he did "survive." I live in NJ and couldn't get a freaking covid test OR the vaccine here. (Who the hell refuses someone a covid test because they don't have a driver's license with them? I guess a passport, insurance card, CEAS card with photo, utility bill, cable bill, bank statement and credit bill wasn't enough to identify me) Because I work in NYC I was able to get a test (negative) and then the vaccine within the same week. Thanks, Cuomo!

He survived, but the thousands he sent back to nursing homes didn't.

Good to hear. I want him to be governor for another term. Andrew Cuomo is the only Democrat with balls.

R91 UR a New Yorker because most New Yorkers don't feel the same as you do.

Chuck Schumer stopped gunning for him and rightly focused back on more urgent problems.

R91 Cuomo calls pandemic 'tremendous personal benefit' amid ongoing probes into New York's nursing home deaths and his $5.1M book deal. He's got balls alright!

I bet all of you would fall to your knees and service him.

Yep. Looks like a gorilla but has intense masculine energy.Sexy.

August 2021 Independent investigation find Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, violated state and federal laws. USS Cuomo is a sinking ship and hopefully Fredo goes down with it!

OP Check your news feed. No, he isn't safe. In fact, at this point, only a miracle could keep him in office.

You know, like WWIII breaking out or another major terror attack on New York City.

Cuomo touched my ass! Yawn.

Keep in mind this is part of a very strenuous campaign of GOP to get the governorships in the 2 biggest blue states. GOP has no chance of getting the legislature in these states, so they only need to change the Governor in order to sign laws increasing voter suppression & overturning elections. Plus…they run Latino double agents as Dems who then vote with Republicans in the NY legislature.

Remember, NY had GOP Governor up to 2006 & CA had GOP Governor until 2011. It’s not far fetched at all. And they have SCOTUS on their side. And Facebook and Instagram, which shoots out constant, planned propaganda against both states. There are numbnuts out there who actually believe CA & NY are failed apocalyptic states where the cites were burned to the ground. They have seen videos made by rightwing groups showing homelessness, shoplifting, fires — riot fires started by Rightwing militia members …you've seen them do it. Black people in their own neighborhoods were saying “It’s white people starting the fires and smashing windows. The white antifa guys go too far.” Guess what? They’re not Antifa. They are and they have been rightwing militia militia members, former police, offduty police & former military all along. Look at what GOP will do to bring down the United States government. You e seen it in Kyle Rittenhouse, in umbrella man and on Jan 6. Youve read about or heard the laws states have made to suppress voter turnout in black neighborhoods. You’ve seen they have enacted laws to overturn the will of the voters…ie, overturn presidential elections. This is Soviet level shit.

This is no crazy conspiracy theory. As Rosemary Woodhouse once said, “This is really happening.”

A lot of what you say is true R100.

But based upon my one unfortunate interaction with Andrew Cuomo, he is the cause of his own undoing.

He needs to agree to quietly retire to Boca in exchange for being allowed to serve out his term.

Do we give him until Friday? Will his brother Chris cry on air?

AP-'Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women PROBE finds'

Biden is calling for Cuomo to resign

Now what about the skeletons in DeSantis's closet?

NYer here. Cuomo has to go now. He will resign in a few days.

I have full confidence in New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. She is capable and has integrity.

R105 Flesh out the details, please!

Will Cuomo's Emmy be rescinded and his book banned?

We will give him MORE EMMYS!

Chris Cuomo just got a book deal for his autobiography: 'Forever Fredo'

Chris Cuomo's ratings will be off the charts tonight!

Any word from Cuomosexuals Joy(less) Behar, Robert De Niro and Trevor Noah?

Chris Cuomo's autobiography: 'Forever Fredo'

Kathy Griffith got cancer and Cuomo's being pressured to resign!

^ and a disbarred Michael Avenatti is headed to jail!

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

IMPEACH! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!

Finally read the report, with all these "serious" accusations , AG then said they are not warranted to pursue a criminal prosecution, they are still an ethic issue, why can't he survive?

I'm not happy seeing properly elected officials being railroaded out of office. Eliot Spitzer and Al Franken come to mind.

But politics is what it is. And when the President also a Democrat says it's time to go, you know Cuomo needs to get up tomorrow morning and smell the coffee.

Why must American politicians resign for behaving like sexual beings with other adults ?

R118, that's not what the AG said. James’ office does not have legal jurisdiction to bring forth criminal action. Special investigator Anne Clark said Tuesday that investigators are leaving it to local authorities to decide whether any criminal charges should be brought forward.

My office is catty-corner to governor’s office building in nyc and there’s a pretty large demonstration there at the moment.

A demonstration against him, I assume, R122?

When every top-ranking Demicrat all the way up to the president says resign, his only other choice is to be stubborn and suffer through an impeachment trial, and apparently they have the votes to remove him. It's up to him whether he wants to resign or be thrown out. He can always claim he was misunderstood, etc., but no one believes that (at least I don't). He also has lawsuits and a possible criminal investigation to look forward to.

*When every top-ranking Democrat

I’m too high up to read the signs, but guy on the bull horn sounds angry so I am assuming yes R123. Only looks like one news crew at the moment.

[quote] My office is catty-corner to governor’s office building in nyc and there’s a pretty large demonstration there at the moment.

There’s rarely not a demonstration of some kind going on at that building. My bus stop is across the street

Agreed R127. There was a break the first year of Mango Mussolini’s reign of terror, but lots of protests otherwise.

Anyway I heard some words “housing is a human right” so not about the grabbing.

Thanks, R128, that's a little more significant to most people than lechery Cuomo (though he's gotta go).

Now there are protests against Chris Cuomo demanding he resign from CNN. Is that really fair?

R130, I haven't heard that, but it wouldn't surprise me because these full-time outrage addicts can't tell the difference between one person with the same last name and the other. Because they're fucking idiots.

People LOVE being ENRAGED!

It would actually be amusing if it weren’t such a wasted of energy and resources.

Meanwhile, the actual perpetrators are off laughing at the media dramatics.

Cuomo's chief accuser Amy Winehouse Lookalike is giving interviews and sounding more and more like a raving lunatic.

It’s been mentioned in other threads how incredibly fucking convenient it is that both Cuomo and the hottie gov from California are truing to be pushed out.

Fuck that!

The fucking repigs are chomping at the bit to install an repig governor to pardon that asshole orange piece of shit.

Don’t know what the plan is supposed to be for California . They’ve stopped electing repigs for a long time.

Cuomo should stick around. The double standard is putrid.

Male politicians really need to find a way to get into having guys service them.

A cockpig is discreet and you'd never have this sort of shit happen.

Two words: Ralph Northam

There’s an interesting legal wrinkle to this: if Cuomo is impeached, his powers as Governor are immediately suspended. The Lt. Governor acts as Governor. Cuomo can act as Governor again only if he is acquitted after the trial. This means it’s harder for Cuomo to tough it out if he’s impeached. He would lose a lot power immediately.

Always count on Democrats to kill off their own while Republicans destroy the country.

It's truly surprising that Democrats aren't extinct.

R138: This is why they hate us, and it's times like these that I agree with them.

School spirit, Dems!

Northam handled his issue perfectly. He showed some humility and reached out to Black groups while refusing to resign. So he's a model for not giving in but also turning a bad situation into a learning experience (or at least the appearance of one).

Cuomo is acting more like Trump would. Not a good idea. He's convinced of his own infallibility and thinks he's untouchable. He won't show some humility in public as he, like Trump, thinks it looks weak. He's also burned a lot of bridges.

It's too bad as he is, unlike Trump, very intelligent and capable. But he's also his own worst enemy.

Gillibrand = queen of the Karens. Someone needs to tell her to fuck off.

After Gilibrand harassed Al Franken out of the Senate, I've loathed her.

R101, did he look at your necklace ?

? R143

He engaged in some oddly personal, wildly inappropriate threatening behavior involving the use or withholding of public funds for failure to go along with a cover-up. And the sad part is I didn’t even know we were having a cover up. I am still not sure that the thing we were being asked to help him cover up is actually a thing or if his ego was just bruised and he’s freaking insane. And no it isn’t COVID or harassment related. It’s a whole ‘nother shoe.

The assembly has the votes to impeach and force Cuomo out of offuce

Power tripping, r144. Eliot Spitzer tried it too but was quickly exposed to be a long time client of escort services.

I still haven't heard any actual reports of what he supposedly did. Most of the allegations are things like "I was uncomfortable" and other such vagueries. No need to resign.

R147 the women allege Cuomo actually touched their private parts - and there is at least one witness that back up one of those stories of Cuomo touching a woman's privates without her consent

One of the victims alleges he groped her. But then she posed for a selfie with him?

Bull. Shit.

He’s toast

If I were in NY now, I would show up with a sign to support Cuomo!

R148 do they also define "privates" as anywhere beneath the belly button and above the knee?

He sent COVID positive patients back to kill off the most vulnerable in nursing homes that were not equipped with PPE and ventilators a while he joked with his brother on TV with a giant swab, wrote a book and received an Emmy as 15,000 senior citizens died alone in the dark. That's the real scandal.

One of the allegations I just heard on CNN was that he touched a woman’s back and said “Hey you…”. Sounds absolutely traumatizing.

R153 yes indeed. He is a horrible man and made rotten decisions. I don't care about his dick or pierced nipples.

And where would you have put the COVID positive people with Alzheimer’s who weren’t sick enough to stay in the overflowing hospitals on the verge of collapse R153? Where would you have procured the PPE in March 2020? The disaster with the nursing homes happened all over the country.

The real scandal with the nursing homes is the attempted cover up of the tragedy and the threatening of people who refused to take part in it.

Cuomo is a terrible person and people hate him for all kinds of reasons that they aren’t necessarily disclosing, but the accusation from R153 is just a right wing talking point.

You know who had ventilators? Trump and he shipped them to Russia. You know who could have provided PPE?

R156 Trump did provide the PPE in March along with the USNS Comfort that combined with the Javits Center had 2,500 beds that went largely unused. Originally for use as a hospital the Comfort was allowed to take COVID patients as of April 6, 2020. That's where the elderly patients should have been placed. By the end of April the Comfort was sent sailing and the Javits Center still had over 1,000 beds unused. It doesn't take a genius. I don't know anything about PPE being sent to Russia, but Cuomo got it and didn't make use of it.

Filthy repukes hate democracy.

How strange. All those women on Twitter were calling themselves Cuomosexuals and claiming he was hot.

Is his loud mouth brother still calling him the Love Gov? Or has he moved to to Handsy Andy?

^ and Trevor Noah, Joy Behar, Chelsea Handler and Robert De Niro were fans/Cuomosexuals

R157 The peak of hospital admissions in New York was the week March 29th, so April 6 was really too little too late to save the nursing home residents. And that’s even if you overlook the fact that the USS Comfort was set up to provide acute medical care, not dementia care for persons with moderate illnesses. What is this miraculous PPE donation you speak of? Please link.

R162 People were still dying and getting infected during the spring and summer. Why not separate the sick so as not to infect the most vulnerable population? Did nursing homes have available room and staff to take care of all the sick as well s separating them from the other residents. Ever hear of quarantining? Alternatives were available.

Quarantining isn’t really possible in nursing homes where aides take care of multiple residents and don’t have access to appropriate PPE. The aides catch it from someone in the sick ward and the next day they have to cover a shift on the we hope they aren’t infected side. And forget about the fact that there is usually on one locked memory care wing for the “wanderers.” You need completely “clean” and “dirty” nursing homes in that case which takes lots of access to COVID tests, something that was also in short supply the first few months of the pandemic so also not possible.

Anyway I am glad it doesn’t take a genius in your case, cause you might be in trouble if it did.

R164 My point is the USNS Comfort and the Javits Center should have ben used to quarantine the recovering nursing home patients instead of ordering them back to the senior residents which is what Cuomo did. What's not clear about that? 15,000 died because of his bungling and from the beginning of the pandemic it was clear that COVID-19 was far more of a threat to those over 70 than the rest of the population.

R162 April was too late to save nursing home residents. I remember people dying and visitors expected to quarantine all through the summer and fines being given to restaurants, beauty parlors and gyms that defied regulations. People were still be infected and dying in May, June, July . ..

The Comfort was restricted from taking Covid patients. The plan was to transfer non Covid patients to the ship to free up hospital space. Imagine what a logistical nightmare that would have been.

None of the nursing home residents could be appropriately tested because testing was in very short supply during the first months…thanks to the many failures of the Dump Administration.

R167 As of April 6, 2020 the USNS Comfort was approved for use by COVID patients since between that and the Javits Center there were 2,500 beds of which less than a third were being used. And was ordering sent back to nursing homes any less of a nightmare?

Didn't the CDC recommend that recovered COVID patients be returned to their nursing homes?

R170 Yes, but not patients who had not recovered or were still positive. And Cuomo ordered them all patients sent back which is unfortunate since he had the resources to do otherwise.

R167 and what about the logistical nightmare of storing thousands of bodies in refrigerated trucks? As of May 2021 there were something like 750 bodies still in trucks in NY.

70% of New York voters say Cuomo should resign, majority thinks he should be charged with a crime-CNBC 7.6.2021

Author, Emmy winner and killer of the elderly is officially toast!

'This is day 4 of the Cuomo death watch' -Bill Maher

'Just get the hell out of the way' -Lurch De Blasio to Andrew Cuomo

Pretty funny to think Cuomo will be out of office before De Blasio.

and he might be heading to the court room or even worse a prison!

Cuomo is such a cunt.

Ex-mobster Sammy 'the bull' Gravano said Cuomo 'Killed more people than the Mafia with COVID policies'

Cuomo should resist all the calls for resignation and just fill his cabinet with Italian, Russian, and Dominican goons.

Resigned lots of press gathering outside midtown office

Republicans laughing and cheering

R182 - He gave them the ammo. Blame him.

R182 Lots of Dems cheering as well they went after him and called for his resignation as much as anyone else and that includes the Democratic Mayor of NYC and President Biden.

And the cocks crowed thrice at dawn . . .

And with this blot on the Cuomo name, any wagers on how long it will take the NY State Legislature to start rolling out those bills, which were already being written, to restore the name of Tappan Zee Bridge and get the name Cuomo off the bridge?

Cuomo Resigns Amid Scandals, Ending Decade-Long Run in Disgrace

R182, every leftie i know is crying hallelujah at thuis resignation. The only person i know was my gestapo loving sister

Biden was also accused.

Should he resign?

when a scandal hits, only democrats are required to resign, the republicans can stay as long as they want, this strange "narrative" needs to be changed. Even Cuomo is a toast now, but I hope he sticks around as long as possible!

R188, that isn't even close to an analogy.

R189, Cuomo will be around for another 14 days.

Dump gets away with everything = I voted for him 3 times

What a difference a few months made! So much for the predictive powers of DLers. The COVID Governor who along with brother Fredo made COVID about them have become pariahs. The Cuomo dynasty is finished!

Whoopi has news:

"Andrew, you in danger girl!"

R147 so much for prophecy!
