Oh, I agree completely! Only an idiot would show up and refuse to wear a mask in that situation, and I'm including in the "idiot" category people who want to be arrested as some sort of "statement".

 

If he falls in to either of the above groups, then in this regard he definitely is.

 

So Biden is letting the renters' eviction ban expire. Apparently, from his administration's perspective if the SC overturns whatever policy extension he comes up with their future power to do things may be compromised as well. So... for the renters who have been coasting without paying, time to get a job.

Oh, and the REALLY shocking part? AOC is blaming her fellow Democrats, not the Republicans for this happening.


"WASHINGTON (AP) — Anger and frustration mounted in Congress over the weekend as a nationwide eviction moratorium expired during a surge in the COVID-19 pandemic. One Democratic lawmaker even camped outside the Capitol in protest as millions of Americans faced being forced from their homes.


Lawmakers said they were blindsided by President Joe Biden’s inaction as the midnight Saturday deadline neared, some furious that he called on Congress to provide a last-minute solution to protect renters. The rare division between the president and his party carried potential lasting political ramifications.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday that Democrats have to “call a spade a spade” after the deadline expired.

“We cannot in good faith blame the Republican Party when House Democrats have a majority,” the progressive congresswoman said on CNN's "State of the Union."

You see that in the places around here. The two Jimmy John's places just shut down completely, and several of the fast food restaurants are drive-through only because they don't have the staff to do anything else. The local body shop has quit detailing cars because they don't have the workers to do so any more. What really shocked me was when I went in to my favorite gas station and they had a sign up saying they were paying a $500 sign on bonus for workers! I know I've never seen THAT before!

I really feel for the owners of these small businesses, most of whom are individuals who have sunk their life's savings in to them. It's a cruel blow to be taken down like this.

 

So Cuomo is a sexual harasser who has *broken federal and state laws* in this regard, so says the NY Attorney General. Will the Democratic machine be able to suppress any criminal prosecution and keep him in office? Probably.

"
NEW YORK (AP) — An investigation found that Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women inside and outside state government and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers, New York’s attorney general announced Tuesday in a finding that is certain to renew calls for the Democrat's resignation or impeachment.


The nearly five-month investigation, conducted by two outside lawyers who spoke to 179 people, found that the Cuomo administration was a “hostile work environment” and that it was “rife with fear and intimidation.”

People interviewed included complainants, current and former members of the executive chamber, State troopers, additional state employees and others who interacted regularly with the governor.

“These interviews and pieces of evidence revealed a deeply disturbing yet clear picture: Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed current and former state employees in violation of federal and state laws," New York Attorney General Letitia James said at a press conference on Tuesday."

Sounds like a direct quote.

Hopefully the criminal pervert Cuomo ends up out of office and residing in jail.

 

I don't think he really said that, but he could have. I was trying to say I disagreed with your defense of Cuomo.

"James made clear that the investigation was civil in nature and that there are no criminal consequences from their report. The incident in which Cuomo allegedly groped a staffer's breast was brought to the attention of the Albany Police."

James' probe was civil, not criminal in nature. Cuomo's criminal conduct was turned over to the police for investigation. Relax. Cuomo's been doing this a long time, I'm sure he'll pay off the appropriate people and continue on his merry way.

It is hard to believe, though. She stated in her role as AG for the State of NY that Cuomo broke the law in his level of harassing people, but she is NOT going to bring charges against him for breaking said law? Why not? Maybe she's getting the back-room deal to become NY's next governor.

 

Oh. Yeah, I agree, to some degree it's an age-related offense, especially the entitled aspect of it. To some degree.

I doubt he'll apologize, although he may spout some non-apology to try and appease people without admitting doing anything wrong. He's cut from the same cloth as Trump in that.

Yeah, an effectively one party system is weird. At least with Dem/Rep fights you know who's on what side. Here? Who knows?

 

Well, he's NOT a Republican, is he? We'll see whether his fellow Dems really want him out and force him out, or whether they are just giving lip service for the cameras and at the end of the day look the other way. I'd bet on the latter, given this man wasn't forced out:

 

The truly in public social kissing doesn't bother me, that's a part of some people's personality and culture. However, one woman said he put his hand under her blouse and grabbed her breast directly, that's not just a social kiss in public, and by anyone's standard that should be unacceptable. Same with his butt-grabbing, IMO. And btw Trump isn't accused of *actually* molesting anyone in office regardless of his prior "bragging" about what he could do in the Democratic enclave of Hollywood.
