Editorial: Resign, Mr. Cuomo
Times Union ^ | on March 6, 2021 | Times Union Editorial Board |

Posted on 03/06/2021 12:34:58 PM PST by conservative98

First Gov. Andrew Cuomo hid the truth about deaths of nursing home residents from the public. Then his administration lied about why. Then, pretending to come clean, it lied about why it lied.

Enough. Mr. Cuomo has squandered the public’s trust at a time when it’s needed more than ever. Amid an enduring pandemic, it is vital that people can believe what their governor and their government are telling them, and that the rules they’re asked to follow and the sacrifices they’re asked to make are truly in the interest of public health. It is time for Mr. Cuomo to resign, and for those who helped him deceive the public to go, too.

We do not say this lightly. We endorsed Mr. Cuomo for governor three times. He has brought to fruition a host of important progressive goals. But between his manipulation of state ethics bodies, multiple allegations of sexual harassment and these latest revelations on nursing home deaths, he has lost the credibility he needs to lead this state, especially in the midst of a public health crisis.

[cut]

Mr. Cuomo didn’t trust New Yorkers with the truth.

And now, they could hardly be blamed for not trusting him with their government, much less their lives.

It is time to go — for Dr. Zucker, Ms. DeRosa, Chancellor Malatras, all the other people who went along with this, and Mr. Cuomo, most of all.

Cuomo needs to stay in office because nothing says Democrat like an old, perverted, mass murderer.

It wouldn’t exactly be a feather in our cap. He would have taken himself out with his meanness and stupidity. I say keep him there.

Imagine how many more people would have fled if they knew the real numbers.

Evidently they know he is gone, so if they demand it, it looks
good for them, distance being the driver.

I’m sure Cuomo is on the phone with Northam asking him how he managed to survive his blackface scandal.

Really well written. This was my favorite line:

“a governor who can’t be trusted to tell the truth even when he’s supposedly owning up to a lie.”

I had an old professor (the guy worked “under contract” for the CIA—this was public information) who taught us a lot about the “real world”.

One of his many amazing quotes:

“By the time the mass media is calling for a politician’s resignation, the decision has already been made by the powerful insiders. The mass media is not a leading indicator, it is a trailing indicator.”

You can’t shame a Democrat into resigning, because they have no shame. They have to be expelled from office.

It's not about hiding the truth.

It's not about lying about the lies.

It's about that he even DID this horrible thing.

It's about that he KEPT DOING IT.

It's about how he (by all appearances) doesn't care, even a bit (so sick, that).

It's about how other DEMOCRATS in office similarly do not care, even a bit (although this DOES give a useful indicator as to how little they actually value life).

It's about how the alleged "news" media, similarly, do not care (although this is a useful indicator as to how little they actually think of us Citizens.)

I would use the 2020 Democrat Primary example here.

They got a number of Democrats to stand down so Biden could get
the nod.

Would love to have the audio or text on some of those communications.

If Cuoma can be sold on it being good for the party, and given
a deal he can’t refuse, he could do it.

Here’s what we want you to do. And oh, how’s the family?

He ain’t going anywhere.

Prince Andrew is the son of Saint Mario the Pious.

He goes, that legacy (such as it is) is finished for good and always.

“Today I’m announcing my resignation from Congress so my colleagues can get back to work, my neighbors can choose a new representative and more importantly that my wife and I can continue to heal from the damage I have caused,” he saaid.

Weiner said he had hoped to be able to get back to work after getting embroiled in a scandal stemming from his tweeting of a photo of his crotch nearly three weeks ago and then lying about it, but “unfortunately, the distraction that I have created has made that impossible.”

He’s not going to resign, because the truth is, a bunch of blue-state governors did the same thing, most notably Whitmer, Wolf, and whoever the hell is governor of Jersey. If he goes, they’re next. So misdirect to a sexual harassment scandal, and don’t resign, but make a big noise about how he did not sexually harass anyone, really he’s gay. You have a problem with that, you homophobes? The sexual harassment story was just to hide that fact.

Thanks for highlighting this and posting it!: “A governor who can’t be trusted to tell the truth even when he’s supposedly owning up to a lie.”

The beautiful thing about Democrats is the same thing to drives us crazy !!! That is , that they have no shame !! no conscience !!! no morals !!!no sense of what they are doing in this world with their actions !!!

only ego inflated ego unbelievable ego. And the hallmark of left ism is attack attack attack attack attack attack

In the end that’s all leftist Marxist have is : hate

So this is one of those very fun times where we see the press turn on one of its own !!!and not circle the wagons !!!

and this guy Cuomo , son of Mario Cuomo , an even more powerful politician in his day , is not going to step down. Not a chance

Remember our buddy in Virginia northwm ?? and him being found to be in black face ???

there was a big hoopla. Demands he step down. He did not

and then his lieutenant governor a black guy was found to have raped women credibly and nothing happened

It really all started , this degeneracy , with Bill Clinton

He got caught lying on national TV about screwing an intern- and then when the blue dress came up and proved it

he just changed directions in the whole media.

and it’s all about sex ! it’s personal business ! the Republicans are Puritans! Ken Starr is a horrible partisan !

Remember that in 1998?

Of course this is the same guy who his lawyer Vince Foster shot dead in Fort Marcy park a couple days after everything got going

and the pres. just jumped immediately to suicide suicide suicide !

As Hillary Clinton is cartinv boxes out of his office

THAT right there. I knew we were in BIG TROUBLE

This is the same press that how did Dick Nixon out of office because G G LIDDY AND A couple of guys broke into the DNC office AND STOLE some papers one night

No I knew that when the press was willing to cover for this guy (Clinton ) to that extent - that they ( the Clintons ). could off their long-term lawyer and they ( the press). not even investigate at all.

Yes that is when the official US news media gave their stamp of approval to degeneracy of any type if you’re a Democrat

After all if you’re going to be willing to see murder committed right in front of you - why would you care about anything else ??

Ie. money cheating in an election selling secrets to the enemies

and so on and so forth

1993 then really began the slide

and now the media ,I don’t even need to begin to talk about how blatantly idiotically biased they are now!

But they’re not going to succeed

not in this digital age - where everybody has the Internet in the palm of their hand at all times.

And a digital video camera And the ability to upload pictures and videos in real time

So what we’ve seen the Democrats do is commit their crimes

steal ; lie ; cheat

have the press cover for them Like slaves or masters. ( I don’t know )

and they completely get away with it

and have the courts not have the confidence to even try to tackle all of their illegality!!!

I mean stealing the presidential election ridiculously right in front of our faces !!!! for about a week!!!!

In trumps first press conference sometime in early December he said that the courts were going to have to decide this , and indeed he is right

And the beautiful thing is the DC circuit /. supreme court scene is so intimidated by the Black Lives Matter type criminal element there

That their bloody afraid to even take up these very tight cases brought by Sidney Powell Lynwood trumps team and the 20 states i e Pennsylvania vs Booknar

So then. it’s going to go back to the states where state legislatures live on the ranch with all their guns b. and they’re not gonna be able to intimidate these Republicans like they can judges in East Coast

Leftist stupid mobs , like we saw during the George Floyd riots , in heavily Democrat urban areas

They TURN TAIL. very quickly when they show up into

well armed patriot areas.

THEY DONT STAND A CHANCE AND KNOW IT

And they get their asses beat , if they even try anything

So of course that’s what Jenna Ellis was saying it is the fact of the matter

Mark Levin et all. Section 2.

the constitution of the United States strictly engenders state legislatures

to be in charge of Their elections in their localities and states

This is where the rubber hits the road. As far as yes Virginia !!

overturning of the election results in multiple states

uncovering all the fraud

and recounting the 2020 election ;

including all of the state house and senate races

Remember if these kids decided “we better destroy all this evidence “.

that’s the admission that you did it as far as the court goes

And furthermore I think Jovan Pulitzer knows how to even take little shards of nothing and still prove lots of stuff
