A number of people are after his job, Zeldin, Letitia, and a bunch of others. He got cocky and careless. He left the door open for his competitors.

I agree, between the avoidable covid deaths and coverup, attempts to blame the president for his own Covid missteps, irrational lockdown mandates, and the dirty old man routine, his time is up. His groveling apologies are especially embarrassing at this point. If he finishes out the term he’d consider that a win.

I just don’t see a Republican win at the state level now - although Zeldin has indicated an interest. Letitia James is definitely far to the left of Cuomo and very much in the Pelosi/AOC/DeBlasio (majority) portion of the Democratic Party. We’ll see what happens.

You can thank big city elites for choosing your governor.

If Zeldin becomes governor, my wife, who loves LI and will never let us leave, says she’s out of NY. So I’m sinking all my resources into getting that imbecile elected. Might finally get my freedom from this overpriced, overhyped, racist, nimby dump.

Put your foot down man.
Tell her you are the King of the castle, and that you are moving. End of story.
Unless she is the breadwinner, then forget my advice.

Ah no, that word went out years ago. When was the last time you heard a physically challenged person referred to as a cripple? Little Person as a Midget? I could go on and on. Same thing applies here, it is no longer an acceptable word.

Well, I am short, and hear the word midget frequently. It doesn't bother me, because, well, I am almost a midget. People are so sensitive these days. Get over it.

I happen to have known a little person who is now deceased, and it did bother him when they called him a midget. In actuality he was a dwarf. There is a really big difference to a little person between being short and being a dwarf or a midget. I can't imagine the circle of people that that still use those words frequently.
