Cuomo: ‘I Won’t Allow Any Trump Rallies in My State’ [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 21 June 2020 | John Semmens

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) vowed he would not permit President Trump to hold any campaign rallies in New York because “it’s politically motivated. The whole purpose of these rallies is to win an election. In my opinion, that’s not a sufficient reason for people to risk getting the COVID infection. Unlike Trump, I care about the lives of his supporters. So, for their sake, I won’t allow any Trump rallies in my state.”

The Governor contrasted “Trump’s irresponsible approach to the campaign with Vice-President Biden’s more considerate and safer campaign strategy. The Vice-President is modeling exemplary behavior by sheltering at home and issuing brief messages via Zoom. These messages have inspired a legion of foot-soldiers who are carrying that message to key locations around America. Racist statues are being torn down, racist businesses are being looted, and racist structures are being destroyed—all without unnecessarily spreading the virus. As all the polls are showing, voters will see and compare these contrasting campaign strategies and cast their ballots for Democrats in November.”

Cuomo went on to pooh-pooh “Trump’s crazy idea that we have to open up the economy. The three months of lockdown in my state showed that we can survive economically without wasting resources on nonessential businesses. Having only the 80% of essential workers providing for the needs of all expands the leisure hours available to 20% of the population. Our most important task now is to improve the sources of amusement and entertainment available for this newly liberated cohort. I believe that a more consistent and widespread obedience of the shelter-at-home orders will allow us to transfer resources from law-enforcement to more fully subsidize video entertainment and usher in a previously unattainable Edenic lifestyle.”

In related news, Cuomo castigated public radio’s WAMC host Alan Chartock for asking whether he would’ve done anything differently seeing how his decision to send COVID-infected patients into nursing homes, saying “Alan, you are parroting Republican propaganda. What’s done is done. Some people died. I can’t change that at this point. I wasn’t the only governor who made a mistake. All we Democrats can do is try to focus the blame on Trump. It would be nice if you were on-board with that rather than falling for GOP disinformation.”

If anybody’s been out of work 3 months, King Cuomo says you’re fine and likely enjoying your leisure time.
While he seems to get more tan each week and hasn’t missed a paycheck.

The King has spoken. If Trump were to hold a rally and won’t now just think of the revenue the state could have collected. Another stupid move by the King.

Hopefully

Cuomo is trash. He is a political hack of the worse kind and a lot like the mayor of NYC.
This politician thinks he can can prevent the other party from having a meeting in New York. He is afraid of competition. I am almost ashamed I was born way upstate in Plattsburgh. That area is so full of history from Samuel De Champlain through 1812 etc. My Grandfather owned AH Marshal’s and and we went to his summer home on Lake Champlain across from Valcour Island every summer. My sister and I found bottles on the shore and in small indentures in the rocks/soil into the banks on the shoreline. These bottles just off the lake were from the naval battle of 1812. The camp was over 1/2 mile of shoreline I refuse to go to NY. It is run by punks who have allowed it to be trashed by illegals and any crooks.

We would have never invaded Normandy with leadership like that at the helm.

FDR was no saint but he wasn’t a complete idiot like certain future NY state gubs.

He wouldn’t call out the National Guard to protect New York City or the rest of the State, but he’d call out the National Guard to prevent President Trump from having any rallies in the State. He’s the reincarnated Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall.

Good one, John. All too close to the truth.

Upstate NY is largely rural and mildly conservative on average, but here by Ithaca a Trump rally would be mighty slim pickin’s.

The City of Evil is plastered with so many “BLM” signs I’m beginning to think they should just change the name of the city. It seems to be the hip thing to do elsewhere...

Good, then we Trumpers don’t have to go to that state that enthusiastically provides late term abortions.
