Horizontally challenged? I would think dwarf would be offensive in this day and age, no?
Wait, how’d we go from Cuomo to people who are not as tall as others?

It started with retarded people, then midgets. I actually know a few retarded midgets.

It's like the chatter at the 'kid's table' at parties after something gets broken. One of the adults would inevitably say, "& this is why we can't have nice things".

Ironic, isn't it??? Yet the general public continues to vote for these losers!

Cuomo is about as low as you can go, he should be in jail.

I've had TDS since 1978, way before many of you Qanon clowns even knew we had a political system. And I suffer that so many of my fellow Americans have become drooling imbeciles.

The online dictionary defines midget as “an extremely or unusually small person” and seems to suggest that ‘dwarf’ and ‘Pygmy’, on the other hand, are offensive terms. No mention of munchkin or leprechaun as offensive terms. I always thought ‘wee folk’ or ‘little person’ was a bit condescending.

As far as Cuomo is concerned, a TV commenter (who blames the Covid deaths of her in-laws in nursing homes on Cuomo) notes that Cuomo getting tossed/resigning over sexual harassment is like Capone getting ultimately jailed for tax evasion.
