Media star Andrew Cuomo has gone missing
NY Daily News ^ | 28/2/21 | Harry Siegel

There’s a reason that Gov. Cuomo, Emmy-winning TV star and best-selling leader of the fight against the coronavirus, has abruptly gone dark.

Actually, there are a few reasons.

The fatal moment, politically speaking, probably wasn’t Cuomo’s decision last March — when it looked like the hospital system here could collapse like it had in Italy — to require nursing homes to take medically stable patients back in from hospitals without testing them for COVID and to give both nursing homes and hospitals a legal shield. It’s his refusal, nearly a year later, to acknowledge the literally fatal consequences of that decision.

Last month, Attorney General Letitia James released a devastating report estimating that the number of deaths of nursing home residents in hospitals was 50% greater than the state had previously acknowledged, forcing Cuomo’s health commissioner to finally disclose 4,000 additional deaths tied to nursing homes.

Cuomo shrugged, arguing that since we already knew how many total people had died, the breakdown he’d concealed for nearly a year was a mere detail:

“Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died.”

That was remarkably callous, more so because he’d had so long to prepare his answer. But Cuomo simply isn’t built to admit a mistake.

Then came his chief aide Melissa DeRosa’s blackmail-attempt-turned-confession on a conference call with Democratic lawmakers two weeks ago. That’s where she told them that the administration hadn’t turned over the coronavirus-related nursing home death numbers they’d been asking for since last spring because Trump’s Justice Department had asked for the same numbers last summer.

“All to deny Trump any kind of “victory” for just wanting to help.”

They would rather blame Trump for his “lies” in “downplaying” the virus while trying to help, lead, and inspire. Meanwhile, they don’t want to even admit they could have done anything differently, and the things they did do actually made things worse. Assclowns.

I’m guessing Gov. Cuomo is meeting with democrat handlers who specialize in repairing reputations. PR guys who know what they’re doing...

Cuomo better flee the country—otherwise he could become the next Jeffrey Epstein...or Seth Rich.

Keep the tar bucket warm, the feathers handy, and get out the bloodhounds.

Is she?

If I’m not mistaken James was one of the AGs that Soros was openly backing, like he’s done with others.

Of course he has his grubby hands in everything.

Yes. The USNS Comfort was there and portable hospitals at the Javits Center and in Central Park ordered byPres.Trump. All unused because Cuomo didn’t want him to get credit. Cuomo deserves jail time.

How many people died because they were denied HCQ or Ivermectin or other therapeutics?

Yes, the Demonrats were willing to let people die to not only keep any credit from President Trump, but also to have political arrows to throw at him.

The real story behind this is the most disgraceful part of the scandal.

Cuomo sent those patients back to the nursing homes because the industry was pushing hard to get them back. It costs a fortune to live in one of those places, and the organizations that run them stood to lose a ton of revenue for every day their residents weren’t allowed back.

>We had one of our hospital ships parked in NY Harbor. Cuomo did not have to take the path he did.<

Wonder why he did that? Several reasons come to mind.
Money involved in any of them. But how?

It's ClownWorld for sure. But nobody's laughing. Remember this one?

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They're not laughing anymore
The walls came down
Sanctuary fades
Congregation splits
Nightly military raids
The congregation splits
It's a song of assassins
Ringin' in your ears
We got terrorist thinking
Playing on fears

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
But the walls came down
I don't think there are any Russians
And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin' with tanks

Any person with sense knew this back when it happened. We all knew it here. Now the press pretends to act astonished - like this is news no one had heard before? No, it is because you didn’t report it, then propped this guy up as a hero and top Trump critic throughout the election. It was all a big fat lie from the mainstream media, per usual.
