Cuomo reminds me of Mussolini

 #Cuomo uses Mussolini’s method, of  taking control and bullying businesses and groups to do his bidding.

1)  In 2018 he ordered the NY Department of Financial Services to urge insurers and bankers statewide to determine whether any relationship they may have with the NRA  sends the wrong message.

2) Governor Cuomo will hold a $10,000 per person fundraiser on June 29.

3) Right now it appears the state will be paying Cuomo's legal fees in the  New York AG probe  into whether  sexually harassed women who worked on his staff.

Maybe Andrew is like his dad? With "Anyone but Cuomo" sentiment running strong, especially upstate, Mario Cuomo's bid for a fourth term failed. He lost to Republican state senator, George Pataki, in 1994.

In the mid 1990s, Bill Clinton  was recorded suggesting that Mario Cuomo "acted like" a Mafiosi and was a "mean son of a bitch."

Federal Prosecutors subpoenaed individuals who were involved in editing early versions of Cuomo's book in hopes of  acquiring  information on nursing-home issues and how the governor’s responded to the pandemic.

 Gov. Cuomo on Tuesday declared a state of emergency over gun violence, which he said is now claiming more lives than Covid-19, and also signed legislation making it easier to sue gun manufacturers who don't  prevent their products from being marketed or sold illegally in New York.

How, the He!! are gunmakers supposed to keep tabs on guns forever. You know this law will be contested and in the meantime gunmakers will flee the state of New York.

You know it's getting bad for Cuomo when fellow Democrats invoke Richard Nixon's name. Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, a Democrat from Westchester County, said :

“Perhaps when he sees we’re all serious—and when the articles of impeachment are right in front of his face—he’ll realize it’s time. ----- “Nixon didn’t resign right away.”

#MelissaDeRosa , Cuomo's consigliere who helped implement a protocol in 2020 in which the governor was never left alone with younger female staff, is resigning. The walls are crumbling!

The do as I say not as I do crowd took another hit from Cuomo's fall from grace. #TinaTchen, a former chief of staff for Michelle Obama,  resigned  as the head of  Time's Up, a group founded during the #MeToo movement by Hollywood women to fight sexual harassment, over reports she gave Cuomo advice  in his battle against charges of sexual misconduct.

#Hochul , Cuomo's replacement, has a direct line to God:  "those who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine "aren't listening to God and what God wants."  Is the word omnipotent in the oath to to be Governor of New York?

#chriscuomo canned by CNN, whose parent company AT&T is preparing to merge its media assets with those owned by Discovery Inc. Last month John Malone, a major Discovery shareholder, said he wanted to see CNN “actually have journalists” and “evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with.” Now that's F'n hilarious.

Ok, I'm no fan of Il Duce Cuomo, but New York AG Letitia James’s statement, that it cannot seize millions of dollars paid to former Gov. Cuomo as part of a book deal without a further investigation, is correct.  This slows down a request to the AG from the New York Joint Commission on Public Ethics  to get those funds disgorged. Bureaucracies know no bounds.

NY AG James has been having issues nailing Cuomo in court recently and now Judge Cohen blocked her bid to shutter the NRA. He raised concerns that shutting down the NRA could impinge on free speech and assembly rights of its members, but allowed the portion on the case on diverting NRA funds to continue.

Rangers fans booed Gov. Hochul during ceremonial puck drop at MSG on March 15 during “Women’s Empowerment Night” at the Garden. I'm surprised it wasn't louder.

Remember when Tina Tchen was criticized following reports that Cuomo and his aides sought her advice on how to handle a growing harassment scandal while she simultaneously led the nonprofit, which was founded to help those who have been sexually harassed or assaulted. 

Obama Foundation hired her which shows again the Left takes care of its own. Valerie Jarrett defended the hire by claiming Tchen is a national Changemaker- is that a word?

Lee Zeldin, GOP candidate for Governor of NY against Hochul, escaped uninjured from a knife attack in Rochester. Gov Hochul’s press secretary, Avi Smal, deflected questions about providing Zeldin with a state police security detail.

And the governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment about the state’s bail laws after David G. Jakubonis, Zeldin's attacker, was released on his own recognizance.

Hey, New York is denying parole to at least one bad guy. Mark David Chapman, John Lennon’s killer, was denied parole for 12th time in late August, 2022

Oct 16, 2022

From Cuomo to Hochul to a Republican??? Zeldin has a legitimate shot at becoming Governor and rattling a lot of entrenched folks in Albany.

A onetime aide to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who accused him of sexual harassment in a federal lawsuit filed a separate lawsuit Wednesday against the state.

Charlotte Bennett, a one -time aide to ex Gov Cuomo, filed a complaint in state court in Manhattan saying her former employer, the state of New York, is liable for Cuomo's sexual harassment. She has federal lawsuit pending against Cuomo. And the hits keep coming!  I guess she figures she'll win somewhere.
