Gov. Andrew Cuomo: More Powerful Than God? "We brought the numbers down. God did not do that, faith did not do that..."
American Thinker ^ | 04/17/2020 | By Bill Zwerger

How else would one interpret his presumptuous proclamation at his latest press conference?

What in hell (no pun intended) would prompt NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo to exclaim, in a most haughty manner, that in regard to "flattening the curve" (man, do I despise that term) "We brought the numbers down. God did not do that, faith did not do that..."? I mean, I realize that he ranks very high (top three by my calculations) on the list of America's most narcissistic public figures, but this is the next level arrogance. 

If you think that this is even too much for even uber tyrant Emperor Andy, and need more proof, take a listen for yourself at the 42:25 mark of his presser posted on Facebook.

Now, I do realize that Cuomo is not the only government authority to downplay/marginalize/outright dismiss the role that religious faith, i.e. Christianity, plays in our society, and seems to almost revel in his ability to temporarily (?) lock down houses of worship. However, to the best of my knowledge, Governor "il Duce" is the only one to (in)directly blame a religious group for his state's COVID-19 outbreak:  “It’s hard. But on the flip side, I say look what happened in New Rochelle. Those were religious gatherings,” the governor said, referring to the number of Wuhan coronavirus infections that occurred as a result of a gathering at a synagogue. “You worship the way you can, but the gatherings are just not a good idea."

As so aptly observed by Jonathon Van Maren at Lifesite News

The Left hates God. That is what drives them.

That is behind their hatred of Christians and Israel. They are in rebellion against God, and they make idols of themselves.

Look ah...You’re closing an entire state because you have clusters in NYC. We have 4 cases in a Town of 45,000. People are wearing the masks. It’s making them breathe through their mouth. There’s a reason for those little hairs in our noses....a natural filter.

What’s to stop folks from NYC from traveling to your town? Are you going to put checkpoints on your roads?

We have long observed that the Democrat Party, especially its self-serving leadership, champions hate and evil and always has, from slavery to illegal immigration, voter fraud, and infanticide--

--but it's hard to believe that they are truly godless.

However if the Democrats and leftist in general are truly godless atheists--that explains everything--especially why they hate President Trump so passionately.

The godless would obviously hate and fear a brilliant and powerful man who openly acknowledges that all his wisdom and power come to him from God, who prays for such guidance, and who towers over them intellectually and morally.

The profane hate and fear the pure above all others.

I met him once way back when his daddy was gov. He was quite the arrogant jerk back then. He’s given us no reason at all to think he’s any different now.

Did you notice the huge spike in deaths from CV day before yesterday...

Little Andrew knew Trump was coming out with the MAGA again policy and wanted to spike the death rate,

Expect dim controlled states to do the same thing in the coming weeks to sabotage the US recovery.

However the people want to go back to work

Protests going on all over

Wear a Yellow Jacket for back to work.

Trump landslide-earthquake in November

Trumpsnami,

I assume this will be the tax policy when people cannot pay there taxes due to being out of work:

6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before;

I hate Marxist WOPs. I really always have.
They are the Sacco and Vanzatti Marxist scum who came over with the hard working Italians to give them a bad name.
(Ps I am of Italian heritage )

My point is, both guys basically said the same thing. The difference, IMHO, is that Lennon was making a statement about others' views of his band and NOT saying it as a matter of pride. In fact, his explanation was along those lines and, notwithstanding the man's politics, I tend to agree with him.

Gov Connie Cuomo, however, is being VERY prideful in his statement.

He brought the numbers down? By being incompetent? Trump had to whip Fritos ass all the way since Fredo was being a little bitch in hiding and couldnt defend him.

All credit, 100% goes to God the father almighty.! Having it disappear around Easter is no coincidence! Piss on Frito and Fredo,
