Cuomo

Well, we either have one standard: all sexual harrassment is a disqualifier from public office, which means Trump and Kavanaugh, as well as Cuomo, have to go, or another standard, which means that we consider the magnitude and context of the offense, as well as the credibility of the accuser(s).

 

People on both sides don't like Cuomo, which to me, makes the accusations against him a little bit less likely to be true. I'm sure that many people have it in for him and there are plenty of women who used to work for him who for fifty grand or so, just might be persuaded to testify in court that one day in the past, Cuomo might have whispered in her ear, "Nice perfume you're wearing." Lock him up!!!!

 

And just to be clear--the man is a jerkass. That's neither here nor there in the context of holding public office, especially when one of the biggest jerkasses (and sexual harrassers) to ever walk the earth recently held the highest office in the land.

Hospitals were not full. There was a hospital ship as well as hospitals in the Javits Center, Westchester County Center as well as a tent facility in Central Park.  All were under utilized and were quickly shutdown. 

 

The latest uproar is that he deliberatly withheld the number of deaths from the state legislators, the state AG as well as the Feds. 

 

He also threatened a Democrat assemblyman.

How about contingency plans that other states set up to move old people into alternative sites..............like all of the empty schools that Cuomo cleared out in NYC?  Apparantly not one NY Liberal was bright enough to figure out that alternative?  There's certainly no old folks in Florida, after all.

 

Nope, Cuomo certainly wasn't smart enough.  Even after he was told a hundred times that he was going to kill thousands.

 

Kevin, to this date I've never heard you say a bad word about Cuomo's decision.  Why is that?

Cuomo or DiBlasio we’re not going to send anyone to the naval ship hospital! That was a Trump administration move, god forbid they save a few lives and thank Trump.

Couldn't you make the same argument about Kavanaugh? Someone making a false accusation against him because they didn't want the Supreme Court  swinging to far right, you call him a rapist, but it was never proven, actually 3 witnesses for the accuser couldn't recall ever being at the party where the supposed rape occurred. This like any claim is all he said she said, call the guy a rapist all you want, that doesn't make him one,

And you seem to, in your infinite wisdom, have judged that the accusation against him was false. Isn't that the same thing you're complaining about--jumping to a conclusion because of political motivations?

 

I doubt very much that the accusation WAS false, but we'll never know, will we? You say it was never proved, but how could it have been? It came down to, who do you consider more credible?

 

And either way, that doesn't mean Kavanaugh isn't a rapist. But let's be clear: Kavanuagh may be a rapist, Trump is a rapist, and Cuomo may be guilty of sexually inappropriate speech. Somehow, Republicans ignoring the first two things but popping like overripe zits at the third smacks of hypocrisy.

There were several very good reasons not to do that, but they would zoom waaaay over your head.

 

But let's be clear---only Republicans let people die for political reasons. If transport to the hospital ship had been a viable option, NYC would have done that.

 

I can explain to you why it wasn't done, but you just want to stick to your Trump-love politically delusional point of view, and I don't want to confuse you with facts.

Because it's old news, it wasn't necessarily a bad decision given the very limited amount of information available at the time, Republican authorities in red states were making far, far, worse decisions, most of the talk was the false narrative that only Democrats get Covid (and YOU were one of the loudest proponents of that idiotic concept), and moving people who need critical medical care into makeshift hospitals set up in school gyms and warehouses isn't the best idea.

 

You're just pitching bullshit when you said that Cuomo "killed thousands." The coronavirus killed thousands. He couldn't figure out a way to prevent that---most of the nursing home residents who contracted the virus would have died anyway. He saw returning them to nursing homes as an alternative whereby they would at least receive round-the-clock care, which they wouldn't have received in an empty school.

 

I somehow doubt that you would have done any better, if you had been making these tough decisions. Your response was confined to shouting about how only Democrats got Covid and telling everyone that masks are a liberal conspiracy.
