Five years too late, but ok.

He ORDERED those nursing homes to take Covid patients. In essence, he ordered the deaths of thousands.
Democrats only want to disarm those they can't control so they can't ever fight back.
I’ll say it again: I don’t think Cuomo is going to be mayor. He’s done screwing up.
NYC now has RCV for mayorals for a reason.
Next ‘mare’ of nyc? Based on what’s been seen with nyc voters, probably.
