NY'er here and while I was not a fan of Cuomo, I thought at the beginning his press conferences were strong and what the people of NY needed. I watched them pretty much everyday but then you could sta

No idea what you mean by essentially but it’s rather amazing that anyone could think that Cuomo has gotten a free pass.

So now we went from "show me a link" to "show me a link to someone other than a crying celebrity" to "sure he said it but he didn't repeat it" There's an old saying that I think applies here. If

When Bill Deblasio and CNN start turning on you it’s a pretty good sign the end is near.  I like the guy but man did he screw things up.  Time to resign.

Little Brother Chris still supports Drew.

I have to say, CNN has done a nice job handling this.  Obviously very awkward for them.  Will be interesting to see if Chris speaks to it on his show tonight.

They ignored the story for two days until they could no longer ignore it anymore.

Good to see a thread for him, looks like the older one was deleted by a regretful poster. This guy has turned out to be a complete :tfp: and failure. Still some in here standing by him though. Hope he steps down.

Disappointed because I really admired his speeches last spring and summer and I said so. Now I’ve lost quite a bit of my respect. 
Even so, I’m not quite sure why he should resign. If there’s to be a criminal charge against him then make it.

Not necessarily, with the board change a lot of old threads can't be found with a search - I can't find some threads I started myself unless I look at my profile under topics, but I digress...

I am not too sure who is standing by him here, there certainly isn't much support among Democrats.

Remember how many were suggesting he should run for POTUS etc? 

Stelter at CNN loved him.  Between Cuomo and Michael Avenatti he's really cooking over there.

They were so blinded by their Trump hate they couldn’t see straight. They were ready to vote for a Cuomo/Porn Lawyer 2020 ticket!:lmao:

Crazy times man.

No one believes it, sorry. 

Moonwalk?  How so?

Falsehood. People were posting in that thread earlier today. 

Is it still here? I did a search for “Cuomo” last week and all it turned up were a bunch of posts from @timschochetand others saying how amazing Cuomo is but in the Trump thread. I didn’t see his thread using the search function?

Yes you went out of your way in an obsessive effort to dig up one of those posts in order to make me look bad. Only it didn’t. And I stand by every word I wrote.

Nope. They got to hide their hypocrisy when it’s ends up proven to be true.

He lied about death totals during a pandemic.  He's been praised for doing such a good job in such a crowded state.  He wrote and sold books about doing a good job of managing a pandemic in a state.  I assume he made money off of that.  

People were talking about him running for POTUS and other federal offices because of the leadership he showed during the pandemic.  It's hard for me to believe that lying about the nursing home deaths wasn't for a self serving purpose.  

If he doesn't resign, I think there's a reasonable argument that lying about how good a job you're doing and writing a book about that lie is impeachable.

Man, that is sad you would stand by that glowing review of Cuomo after all the disgusting revelations of how poorly he handled everything then lied. 
 

I really didn’t go out of my way, you came up first on any search for Cuomo. I think you were like 3rd, 4th, and 6th too.

I'm glad to see this getting mainstream play now, but it's frustrating that people were pointing out that NY's nursing home death reporting didn't match reality way back in May if you looked in the right places.  And we're not talking about an obscure figure - he was the face of the pandemic response as far as governors go.  I'm disappointed that it took this long for things to really get brought out in the open, as I would think a dogged journalist could have unearthed this stuff by last summer at the latest.

Yeeeeep. x100s of other similar things (cough). Hopefully reporting and truth goes back to normal now they got the bad man out of office.

I’ll admit I was wrong to praise him. I identified him as a Trump-like personality that I would normally hate but thought he did great with his press conferences that were needed at the time. But he clearly is no hero and needs to go down for this.

On a side note, I don’t think his brother should be covering this story. Leave it to everyone else on the network, no need to have someone with understandable bias covering it.

Weird....he's not being defended here....that's refreshing.  The "sides" should take note....some things just aren't worth defending and that's ok.

Pretty hard to defend doctoring the books to hide the deaths of people in nursing homes. I haven’t followed the story closely enough to have a strong opinion on his criminal guilt or innocence, but it appears that he’s now admitted to at least withholding the data and that alone is pretty indefensible.

You should come to florida GB....it's crazy here.  Everything from not reporting what the care centers are giving them to arguing that people in the state who aren't residents of the state shouldn't be counted, right on down the line.  This is a hill people are willing to die on IRL it seems.  Just noting that here, the PSF that doesn't seem to be the case.

Id said a while ago...maybe even in the FFA thread...that believing all the numbers from each state was hard to do because those in charge are politically motivated to keep the numbers low or looking better for themselves.  Seems true in many locations.
