Why Andrew Cuomo resigned versus why he should have resigned
American Thinker ^ | 08/19/2021 | Lynne Lechter

At the end of March 2020, when COVID-19 was gripping the country, then-president Trump had the USNS Comfort retrofitted and sent to New York's harbor. With an approximate crew of 1,200 trained personnel and 1,000 beds, the ship's mission was to serve non-COVID-affected patients in order that New York's hospitals could administer to the more critical needs of the COVID-afflicted.

Although the remodeling was expected to take at least four weeks, it was completed in four days as a full-service hospital, replete with its own helicopter pad.

When regular patients didn't arrive about ten days after pulling into New York City, the ship was retrofitted once again to cordon off an area to treat COVID-19 patients. Still, not many patients showed up.

At the same time, an engineering feat occurred, when the cavernous Javits Center was deftly converted from a convention showroom space to a sophisticated hospital, complete with an intricate oxygen system servicing each bed. Here, only COVID-19 patients would be treated.

Governor Cuomo, incomprehensibly, opted not to utilize either facility. The USNS Comfort left New York a month after its arrival. Of its 1,000 beds, fewer than 200 were used. Similarly, the Javits Center, with a capacity of 2,500 beds, was shut down for lack of use.

Meanwhile, New York's hospitals were jammed with COVID patients. Since the specially reconfigured facilities were not utilized, the hospitals were vastly overcrowded. So Governor Cuomo, with an obvious intellectual

deficit, as well as lacking empathy and critical thinking skills, sent COVID patients willy-nilly to nursing facilities, where patients were elderly and disabled. Thus, Cuomo introduced COVID deliberately into a vulnerable population previously not affected or minimally so by COVID. The ensuing COVID infection and mortality rates were predictable. While Cuomo obfuscated the numbers, it is believed that approximately 15,000 people died

Where's the justice?

But for all the negative commentary, and investigative negative results, Cuomo emerged from the scandal unmoved. "Who cares?" he defiantly bellowed. "Hospital...nursing home. They died."

The Democrats dared not react to Cuomo's rank callousness. How could they? Democrat governors in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, and New Jersey also sent COVID patients to nursing homes, where infections spread and deaths multiplied. Those deaths exceeded over 30% of all COVID deaths. Democrat governors who facilitated these deaths avoided consequence.

Has he actually resigned? Has he turned in his letter of resignation and vacated his office?

Don’t be surprised if he tries to not deliver his letter of resignation to the state House speaker.

Corrupt politicians never receive appropriate justice and are never held to account. I'm a realist, the best thing that can happen to losers like Cuomo, Hillary et al is to have their power and influence disappear. They will remain rich on ill gotten funds, but will never have what they live for, full domain over people's lives.

Like Michael Corleone, he’s going to “take care” of all family business, on his “last” day. Then he will decide he’s too valuable to resign during the resulting crisis.

Resigned? His punishment for mass murder is he doesn’t get to be governor any more?

“While Cuomo obfuscated the numbers, it is believed that approximately 15,000 people died”

Afghan policy starting to make sense. Biden was jealous, as Cuomo’s mass murder number was tough to beat. But he’s giving it a shot with our trapped Americans in Afghanistan.

“Corrupt politicians never receive appropriate justice and are never held to account.”

It’s how the uniparty rolls.

Think - Clinton/Gore

+ China gives a likely $35 million (plus) dollars to Clinton/Gore campaign

= Ron Brown (Clinton/Gore Campaign finance chief) due to testify to FBI and before Congress about huge illegal Chinese money, gets shot in the head with a 45cal. (military intake autopsy), US Air Force plane he was on (including several corporate executives) caused to crash into a mountain in Serbia (after local FSB called and ordered to briefly turn off all ground transponders while plane was approaching airport)
= Clinton puts China into WTO
= China gets off human rights violation list
= Clinton unlawfully forces US defense contractors to give China Satellite, ICBM missile, and advanced communications technology
= China permitted to take over Long Beach Harbor
= China permitted to refuel ships in San Francisco Bay (after Presidio is shut down from Pelosi, Newsom, Feinstein, Clinton bribery and threats)
= US cuts US energy in order to purchase Chinese energy (coal)
= China permitted to buy out then colapsed US energy companies
= China given administrative control over the Panama Canal (to known Chinese Peoples Army front company Hutchinson Wampoa)
= Chinese scientist given access to federal research facilities across America
= Chinese nuclear scientist given 2 unfettered access to US nuclear research labs (while US researchers and personnel ordered to take vacation
..yes this actually did happen)

= RNC (assistant democrat uniparty) goes after “Blue Dress”
