Cuomo resigns

Holy shit!

You broke the news!

Okay, fine, he resigned. Can someone now please go arrest Matt Gaetz?

Effective in 14 days.

After the Ronan Farrow article, there was nothing else to do. Too many Democrats wanted him gone.

Give him credit. His resignation speech is pretty impressive.

And here comes the 18,000 threads about it because people are too fucking stupid to do a search.

His COLLAPSE is COMPLETE!!

R7 And then 400 posts complaining about the multiple threads.

Trumpism continues. Follow some of the accusers to their new gigs on Fox, OAN, or Newsmax.

As a matter of curiosity, when did the search function became reliable? Because historically it's a bit of a Rose.

I'd still let him stick it in

He needs to shut up. So sanctimonious

He should be in jail, for the seniors who died under his mismanagement

To be fair, the search doesn't update quickly, so it'll take 5-10 minutes before threads start to show up in a search.

Good. Maybe now the media will focus on Donald Trump trying to use the DOJ to overthrow the election.

So New York will be getting it's first female governor? NYC has never had a female mayor?

So what does this mean for Trump? Will there be some Repug put in Cuomo's place that will issue him a pardon?

[quote] Effective in 14 days.

You mean it’s not “effective at noon tomorrow”?

That’s a letdown.

R16 Or on a more positive note, that the most significant piece of bi-partisan legislation in many years was passed within the hour by the Senate. Too bad that's not the biggest new of the day.

R19.

I do wish he'd resigned earlier, if only because he was taking focus away from a lot of more important stuff.

That's fantastic news r20, thanks for mentioning it, I would have missed it otherwise.

A lot of this sounds too similar to the 'creepy Joe' shit they tried to do to Biden.

They got what they wanted, I guess.

Come on... that guy was ready to fight to last ditch. It means they got there. He was cornered and he knew it. And he knew why.

This is not a man worthy of the office.

Sorry everyone - my link didn't take.

I am happy, not that I give a shit about this either way but most people who don't live in NY don't care about this that much. It certainly doesn't deserve the amount of national news coverage it have gotten. The media being located in NYC seems to think that everything that happens in New York is more important that nearly everything else, it isn't.

Another sex pest bites the political dust.

I didn’t see this coming. I thought he would be Il Duce for as long as possible

Dear R27. I am sure that wherever you live is very nice and my best to Lady Elaine and Speedy the Mailman.

Fact is: as the location of one of the largest cities in North America and a center of related economic activity, what happens in New York State does, indeed, have a disproportionate amount of impact on the nation at large.

Tomorrow we will review your lesson on cows: the toy one is little; the ones outside are far away.

Is Cuomo a homo?

I am little surprised (probably shouldn't be) about neither New York State or NYC having women leaders before. I am a North Carolina native and we have had a female governor and the current mayor of Raleigh is a woman.

Governor Hochul's first thing on the agenda is to rename the Mario Cuomo Bridge back to the Tappan Zee Bridge.

I dunno, R31 - does Trump pump rump?

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

We have now seen the madness, cue the destruction.

I hear she's going to commemorate Cuomo's sex pest ways by renaming it the Tappan Dat Ass.

#18 wins. Trump is behind this. He's down there in Mar-a-Lago plotting constantly, making calls.

A Repug will be hacked into office and pardon him.

Hochul will be an awful cunt but the press will protect her.

I disagree, because if Trump was responsible, Trump would be telling us all about it.

If you insist on helping yourself to people's bodies in inappropriate situations and/or without seeking their consent first, be prepared to take the consequences Don't assume you can just talk your way out of it.

Is he dating anyone? I like a man who's a romantic.

[quote] The media being located in NYC seems to think that everything that happens in New York is more important that nearly everything else, it isn't.

Agreed. It would be boon to re-uniting this country if the media scattered its HQs to other cities, like Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles.

Good that pig needs to be out of the public eye

Another one bites the dust.

#MeToo

New York City and New York State are like battered women who think they can't do better than the dirtbags who give them some attention. What the hell is wrong with ya'll?

New York is only the fourth largest state by population.

R30 must live in New York, I can tell by its sense of self importance.

I'd bet money that jerk did this on purpose: resigning today to pull focus on the infrastructure vote. A dick in every respect.

Why would he want to do that, r48? He's a Democrat.

Because he's an egotistical asshole first and foremost, Rose. Have you been reading Chris Cuomo's biography of his brother?

DeSantis is the governor who needs to resign.

So this will get worse instead better, I bet, for both Cuomos. There is blood in the water now. I give CC 50-50 odds on his grip on CNN. People will start leaking.

I hope against hope that CC doesn't get #metoo'ed but I bet R52 is right and he's next.

This calls for cake!

[quote] DeSantis is the governor who needs to resign.

Don't be a whataboutist.

OK, R54 aka Sandra Lee, is this one of the reasons that the two of you split up? Tell us what you knew and when you knew it!

Well don't call me, I got cancelled.

Sorry, that should read " Emmy winning Governor Cuomo resigns."

What a fucking joke New York is.

LOL at R36. Well done.

I feel stupid for buying one of his New York Tough posters. Guess I'll be putting it in the attic with my Prince Andrew-designed Falklands Island map and Kevin Spacey's Guide to the West End.

Chris Cuomo needs to Me Too and Oh god, oh god, oh god right in my mouth

Big Italian hot sausage meat now up for grabs!

R32 -- perhaps, while wallowing in your self-righteous glory, you might want to add that your NC politicians are among the most egregiously homophobic and rightwing that this country has ever seen.

[quote] DeSantis is the governor who needs to resign.

Republicans are fine with dead kids

His resignation statement was hilarious. Maybe his daddy used to tell him of a time it was okay to sexually assault women, but it's been frowned upon for a while now!

Here's the NPR story.

Sounds like he felt New York was his oyster and that he could put his hands on everyone he found attractive. Apparently, he found lots of people attractive.

[quote] "I have been too familiar with people. My sense of humor can be insensitive and off-putting. I do hug and kiss people casually, women and men. I have done it all my life," Cuomo said. "In my mind, I've never crossed the line with anyone but I didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn."

Long ago and oh so far away . . .

R37 speaks the truth.

The Woke Brigade/Me Too/SJW made have won this battle, but they've definitely lost the war. Trump and the Republicans are laughing their asses off.

At this very moment, we have a murderous fascist ex-President plotting his comeback, and a Republican Party hell bent on nullifying any free election that isn't won by Republicans. We have Republican governors killing people left and right in the name of some vague "freedom" to not wear a mask or get a vaccination.

But for the SJWs. Job #1 is getting some overgrown frat boy with roving hands spayed and neutered.

Way to keep your eye on the ball.

Trump should be in jail for the 600,000 + deaths he caused.

FWIW: Kathy Hochul was very cool and down to earth one time I met her...at a fundraiser for an openly gay candidate (with his husband) hosted by/in the home of a gay married couple.

And then, there is also this:

Where's the fucking Trump investigation, Tish James??

We didn't put you in office to come after Democrats, you asshole!

Because Democrats are low hanging fruit, R72. Democrats love self-flagellation, so they're easy targets and less work for bureaucratic drones like her.

Tish James knows the Republicans would laugh their asses off if she came after them, so she doesn't even bother.

She's a real profile in political courage, that one is.

This was a political hit job manufactured by Republicans and carried out by Letitia James. She needs to be looked at to see who’s funding her.

Wait’ll she throws her hat in the ring for Governor!

She conveniently gave up on all the Trump investigations.

R38- Why will she be an AWFUL cunt?

Why dismiss as "SJWs" people who aren't willing to put up with assholic abuse and harassment anymore?

Because they only go after Democratic politicians, R78, because they know Republican, pussy-grabbing politicians will laugh in their faces if they try any of their politically correct bullshit with them.

So it's just "politically correct" to "go after" abusers and harassers?

Anyway, seems to me a fair number of Republicans have been taken down (e.g. Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes). The fact that more haven't isn't because anyone's afraid of being laughed at by those sleazebags.

It certainly does seem like it R76.

It’s really disheartening. Corruption and the instinct to CYOA (cover your own ass) leaves me disgusted.

And, yet R64, North Carolina still had a woman Governor before New York. New Yorkers are the ones arrogantly looking down on all southern voters. Btw, Marjorie T.G. is from Georgia.

Just an FYI, R80: Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes were not elected politicians. They were employees who ran afoul of their company's sexual harassment policies.

What a LOSER!

It is mindblowing, what can happen over a span of time. Imagine traveling back to this day in 2020 and telling his swooning fans, “Yeah, next year at this time he’ll be me-too’d and resigning in disgrace.” Anything can happen.

Guess I gotta go somewhere else for my eyetalian sausage and pepper now.

Look over there!

Did she give up the Trump investigation? I don't remember reading that. Or is R76 just making up shit?

Making up shit on the Internet! Why, I never!

Good. Long overdue.

[quote]Because they only go after Democratic politicians, [R78], because they know Republican, pussy-grabbing politicians will laugh in their faces if they try any of their politically correct bullshit with them.

Who is "they?" Didn't "they" also go after Ailes and O'Reilly, as well as Kavanagh and Trump? The problem isn't who "they" go after, it with who receives consequences and who escapes, and THAT has to do with the difference in values and beliefs about sexual harassment and assault between the two parties and their bases, and not the people making the accusations. These are two different things that can't be rolled into one big "they."

[quote] Otoniel "Tony" Navarrete resigned his Arizona state Senate seat Tuesday afternoon in a brief letter to Senate President Karen Fann, five days after Navarrete was arrested on seven felony charges related to child sex abuse.

[quote] The resignation is effective immediately, Fann said.

[quote] The resignation ends a five-year legislative career for the Phoenix Democrat, who has represented a district that stretches from west-central Phoenix to Glendale.

I cannot believe he let those metoo bitches get to him.

Too bad he is going to spend the rest of his days with hookers and mistrrsses.

Yet, Gaetz is still in office.

I lol’d when he said he was “just being friendly” during that speech.

And when his attorney when asked when would it ever be appropriate for the governor to put his hand on a woman’s stomach or run his finger down her back and she actually said “that would depend on the context.”

[quote] [R16] Or on a more positive note, that the most significant piece of bi-partisan legislation in many years was passed within the hour by the Senate. Too bad that's not the biggest new of the day.

Uh, thanks for telling us what “it” is.

Bye Bye Cuntmo.. So many wonderful things came to mind as I tried to listen to the full resign. speech.

Don't let the door hit you in your ass on your way out. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Ever notice how the biggest turds float up & then they get flushed...So many more.

My dream, my wish. They put back the REAL name of the Tappan Zee Bridge. Then you get some time on the inside & you get to be touched again & again & again..

You Scum

How many years did he have left in his reign?

Well the one in r91 needed to resign and will be spending some long years ahead in prison.

Liberal, socialist, progressive left democrats in NYS wanted Cuomo gone before end of year for very good reasons.

First and foremost 2022 is statewide election year and if impeachment didn't remove Cuomo (not likely, but you never know...), he just may have run for a fourth term. That couldn't be allowed to happen as it would force other democrats considering running for governor to face off against an incumbent Cuomo. He may have been weakened, but depending upon how things played out over next 18 months or so may still have had enough of a following to win.

Now progressive, left, liberal democrats have their wish, an open NYS governor's. Last time this happened was when Patterson ran for that office after serving out most of Elliot Spitzer's term who was removed for consorting with prostitutes. Ironically Patterson lost to Andrew Cuomo who now himself has been removed.

Ahhhhhhh HAAAAAAAAAA Fredo's murdering sibling is gone.

I just discovered today that the New York State impeachment process is different from the Federal.

If Cuomo had been impeached by the NYS legislature he would immediately have been removed from office.

Then, if the NYS Senate failed to convict in a subsequent trial he'd be returned to office.

What happens to Chris?

And I think if he'd been impeached and convicted, he would have been barred from holding any state office again. By resigning, he avoids that.

He gets transferred to CNN's Fire Island affiliate.

R104 and the pension! don't forget the pension, he loses that too!

Alec Baldwin is being eviscerated, on Twitter, for defending Cuomo

Two days after Hochul takes office no one will remember this goon.

Does he keep the Emmy?

R108 Two days after Hochul takes office the Democrats will start compiling dirt on her too.

NY is a dump. Grew up there near the city. Couldn't leave fast enough.

Hochul is being hyped as the second-coming of Kamala Harris.

Hochul is from the most conservative area of NY and has accepted NRA support, and voted to uphold don't ask don't tell, back in the day. She may very well have modified her views since then, but don't kid yourselves about what she truly believes.

R113, I'm hoping she'll swivel leftwards like Gillibrand (not that I want her to be like Gillibrand in all ways).

They had better take his Emmy away along with those of a few others who did not deserve them either.

Apparently, he drives a "1968 Pontiac GTO with a “1” license plate.'"

AC had no cover, so he simply had to resign, or again as it has been stated repeatedly face impeachment and most surely be convicted.

Also as has been stated again and again about AC, he overstayed his welcome in Albany, and overplayed his hand. Gathering up for himself over course of three terms quite a lot of power for what is constitutionally one of the most weakest governors in nation. Much of this occurred after Joe Bruno, Sheldon Silver and few other top dogs in Albany were convicted of various charges.

Famous "three men in a room" became just the one; Andrew Cuomo. He was also the only white man in power staring down a black head of state assembly and senate. Both of the latter are heck bent on "progressive, liberal, left, democrat" policies. In short using Albany to address what they feel are decades of wrongs perpetuated against African Americans and other brown or coffee colored persons.

AC gave NYS gay marriage, legal surrogacy, but had to be dragged into bail reform, decriminalizing pot and a few other bits.

With super majorities in both houses of legislature leaders of state senate and assembly have big plans to push things through before elections in 2022. Cuomo put the brakes on some of it, so this scandal was just what they needed to get rid of him.

Fun starts in a few weeks when Cuomo is gone and Lt. Governor takes his place. That is for the remaining 15 months or so will democrats in Albany have any more success than previous three years.

State republicans in Albany most surely would have voted against Cuomo in any impeachment proceedings for exact reasons noted above. Gay marriage, surrogacy, bail reform, giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses and all sorts of state rights, tax increases, and a very long list of other Cuomo accomplishments ticked state republicans off. Watching Cuomo's tenure end in a slow motion train wreck was about the best bit of schadenfreude could request.

I can't believe none of you girls have posted the pics of poor Chris being hounded by the press on his burfday....

Fuck him @R118

The Cuomos must be seething.

The Kennedys must be laughing.

"Lavish Hamptons dock" (R118)?

Did he later shit in a lavish Hamptons toilet and flush the lavish poo into a lavish Hamptons cesspool?

Sheesh.

He needs to come out as demi-sexual.

Nice BIG pick up truck. Is that for all his construction jobs? In working girl circles: guys who buy Massive pickups & aren't manual working guys have teeny weeny or limp biskit. These losers need lots to get off..A real days work & never any fun.

And we all thought he was another Eytalian Stallion. So sad..so predictable.
