I fairly naive. Is there an honest long term Democrat Politician from NY ?

I wonder how much the Mob has hooks into Cuomo.

Perhaps that most disgusting actions of our Governor (and that is someone who allowed the elderly to die at nursing homes when he wasn’t harassing women).

Something tells me that Chris, who was mysteriously absent from his CNN gig last night, will not return to CNN.
CNN does not possess that level of integrity... Fredo's job is secure.

New York State is a lost cause. Even if you get rid of Cuomo someone just as bad if that's even possible will take his place. New York State has one of if not thee most corrupt legislatures in the country. Your only option is to vote with your feet. We did and it was thee best decision we could have ever made.

But as long as the public is willing to put up with all of their corrupt public officials and keep on electing these low life scoundrels. Things will never change.

Cuomo part of the good old boy network? Am I surprised? Not in the least. Rich people that are well connected always get put to the top of the list. Here in Illinois, one hospital got its vaccination rights taken away for vaccinating employees at Trump tower ahead of those who were qualified. Some one had an in there.

It takes a rare individual to not be "business as usual" when high stakes money and power are involved.

This will be the end of his career. He doesn't want to resign which means he's just going to crash and burn even harder. Nothing can save him now, not even The Cuomo Comedy Hour with his loser brother. The both of them need to be removed from their positions and out of politics and journalism forever. And someone get Chris some anger management classes. Little man seems to have let his gym sessions get to his head.

Trump also provided pop-up hospitals and manned them for Cuomo, along with sending in a Navy hospital ship to dock in the harbor as well. Cuomo didn't use them and chose to keep stuffing vulnerable elderly into the nursing homes. And then turned around and continued to blame Trump. Pretty weak deflection attempt. Try harder next time.

Personally, I didn’t mind that the politicians took it first, then if it caused side effects it would effect them first and we wouldn’t be the lab rats.

Kinda reminds us all that what politicians preach ain't what they do.
And they win a Emmy for it.
