Pervy Cuomo Isn’t Going Anywhere
Townhall.com ^ | August 5, 2021 | Derek Hunter

Hey ladies, Governor Cuomo is single and ready to mingle…

It was big news on Tuesday, but it’s not Tuesday anymore. It’s Thursday, and by the weekend, any push to remove grabby, groping Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York will be completely memory-holed by the left. So if you were thinking that grabbing subordinates' butts or boobs was a surefire way to exile in the Democrat Party…you haven’t been paying attention. There really isn’t anything for which they’ll hold their own accountable, unless it ultimately benefits them in the immediate, and holding Cuomo answerable for his actions does not.

Former Democrat Governor of Louisiana Edwin Edwards famously joked with reporters before one of his elections that “The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.” He wasn’t caught with either and won, though he was eventually convicted on 17 counts of corruption and did some time.

Things were different then, way back in late 1990s and early 2000s. Back then, Democrats couldn’t count on uniform party loyalty to look past anything anyone of them did. Believe it or not, there were many Democrats who were critical of former President Bill Clinton committing perjury and obstructing justice, at least at the start. By the time Clinton and the gang dragged out the process with lies and distractions, the party did get back in line and was uniform.

That kind of set the mold for today – if they’re on “your team,” they can do no wrong for which they should be punished. This isn’t uniform, of course, sometimes sacrifices must be made. Al Franken was forced out the Senate not because Democrats cared that he was a handsy douche, but because the “Me Too” movement was rolling and they’d hoped to weaponize it against Republicans. It didn’t really work out, it mostly ensnared Democrats, but they had to continue to pretend Republicans were waging a “war on women!” so he and a few others had to go.

What Andrew Cuomo is alleged to have done is way worse than Franken, it’s on par with what Joe Biden was credibly accused of by Tara Reade. Neither allegation interested the media when they were made, only being covered grudgingly so they could say they’d done it and quickly forgotten. Actually, what Cuomo is accused of is only as bad as Biden based on volume, the specifics of Biden’s assault on Reade are worse.

It didn’t matter, no one in the media cared. The Biden story was barely a sparse week of casual reporting where it was mostly dismissed. Cuomo’s allegations were numerous, with attractive accusers, all of whom support liberal politics and policies. They were serious, professional women who had no political axe to grind, they were on team Cuomo…until. They were made for TV. But TV wasn’t interested.

The people who happily put someone like E. Jean Carroll, who called rape “sexy,” on their airwaves because she was accusing Donald Trump of assault 25 years prior had no interest in young women telling how Cuomo grabbed, kissed, or propositioned them recently. “Believe all women” became “Yeah, yeah, now just shut up.”

Cuomo was the media’s creation – they made him their anti-Trump. His daily press briefings were followed by refractory periods pretending to be analysis. They ignored his slaughter of 15,000 senior citizens from his COVID nursing home order. They ignored his abuse of staff to write his book while he raked in more than $5 million. And they moved on from his accusers’ stories every time a new one came forward. They don’t give a damn.

Calls for his resignation faded. The “impeachment” inquiry that was talked about when the allegations emerged simply disappeared. There is no reason to think this time will be any different.

The Attorney General of New York announced Cuomo was guilty of many crimes, then announced she’d charge him with none of them. If the chief law enforcement officer in the state won’t enforce the law, who will? Biden said he should resign, but that’ll likely be the only time he ever speaks on the matter. So the employee lounge isn’t awkward, CNN won’t cover the story for more than a couple of days. The New York Times ran an editorial calling on him to resign, so they’ve checked the box and will quickly move on too.

Virginia still has Governor “Blackface” Ralph Northam, and all these same people called for him to resign when his past was exposed. The Lt. Gov. of the state, a guy named Justin Fairfax, is still on the job too, after he was credibly accused by two women of rape. If those two can survive by simply outlasting the outrage (which, frankly, thanks to their party affiliation only lasted about a week), Cuomo will easily survive. If you’re a Democrat and politically useful to the party, you can pretty much do anything you want and get away with it.

And remember ladies, Governor Cuomo is single and ready to mingle…whether you want to mingle with him or not.

Good. It’ll be easier to defeat a morally wounded pos like Cuomo, than a morally healthy ( is that possible in today’s Dhimmicrat potty?) democrat.

Between his sexual hijinx and the murders in the nursing homes, he’s a bad candidate for them.

If he stays, Nancy will begin to unleash her paid minions to harrass Cuomo at work and at home.
Minions such as BLM or Antifa or Gloria Allred and her daughter.

No, they probably ALL have some sexual peccadilloes in the closet.

The problem is, he is despised by almost everyone in NYS Gumment. He has made countless enemies including Tish. Only the sycophant Speaker of the Assembly is sort of an ally..

It's going to be tough for anyone to donate to his re-election without risking intense scrutiny and accusations of supporting a pervert.

Anyone who works for him risks scrutiny as well, especially if female. How could they support a pervert?

Which female employee is going to file the first restraining order against him?

Cuomo CANNOT leave on his own under these circumstances, for the simple reason that he has no place to go. His entire life as been as part of a political dynasty and he literally knows no other existence that isn’t related to it. Normally, people in his situation, if they can retire without controversy simply become a lobbyist, but even that’s closed off to him now. He’s out of options.

So, it’s up to the Democrats in NY State to get rid of him, and they’ll only do that if ordered to do so by the national party and the media, which doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

I believe sexual immorality and the love of it is the core of all leftism and always has been.

Might they bribe Andrew Cuomo to resign the NY State governorship?

They tend to offer Berne Sanders vacation houses to drop his serial campaigns for the party’s POTUS nomination. In response, Bernie seems to have settled into a groove rather than rock the boat. Perhaps Cuomo will end up setting himself up to win in some way like Bernie did.

There is no such thing as a "morally healthy" Demonicrat. A Demonicrat is, minimally, a lying murdering traitor.

The Dems are counting on Kathy Hochul getting the appointment and running at the end of his term. She’s a Dem and a woman....if only she was black...A perfect candidate for them to hold NYS.

I did the same thing. I thought to myself: "Of course he isn't going anywhere. He's been dead for years."

Joe Biden - Sexual Predator
August 4, 2021

Tara Reade Accuses Psaki Of ‘Misleading The Public’ By Saying Her Allegations Were ‘Heavily Litigated During The Campaign’

Tara Reade Accuses Psaki Of ‘Misleading The Public’ By Saying Her Allegations Were ‘Heavily Litigated During The Campaign’ Politics Top Stories [your]NEWS
President Joe Biden’s accuser Tara Reade criticized White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Wednesday for saying that #MeToo allegations against the president were “heavily litigated during the campaign.”
“There’s been no litigation, there’s been no investigation,” Reade told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “That’s a lie. That’s misleading the public. She should take that statement back.”
“It takes one member of congress to ask for an investigation into Joe Biden,” Reade said. “I’ve already said multiple times I will go under oath and I will testify to what I endured regarding sexual harassment and sexual assault in 1993.”

Impeach him and do it quick. The dems are done with him. To much to cover.

True, the Democrats jettisoned Al Franken, but they knew his Senate seat would remain in Democrat hands. Had the MN governor at the time been a Republican, there is no way he would have been forced out.

You can never be wrong when viewing the Democrat party with cynicism.

He’s staying for several reasons:

-He’s an arrogant SOB
-He’s a Democrat
-But the biggest reason is that he is the legacy of the Big Sfaccim (his Daddio) and he ain’t gonna allow that to be tarnished in any way
