  • Cuomo was facing an impeachment investigation from New York Assembly's Judiciary Committee.

  1. Another example of how the media controlled people's perceptions.
    This menuval was little better than Trump but because he was the anti-Trump they covered up his shenanigans and mistakes for as long as they could.

  2. I am trying to see logic in your argument, but it is sadly absent.
    Let us suppose for the sake of argument that they were both menuvalim, Trump and Cuomo, and not give gradings on whose anti-hescher was more filthy.
    Cuomo resigned within a week of the scandal coming out, Trump did not resign in 4 years in office, and on top that he wanted to outstay his elected time.

    So at least cuomo resigned - perhaps he learned from Trump's errors.

  3. They didn't just cover up for him, they presented him as a "hero." He was much worse than Trump because Trump never instituted policies that sent covid-positive patients into nursing homes like Cuomo did.

  4. “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigns” Sorry I try not to read your CNN postings. In your “Tzadik described as being G-d” I quote: Sanhedrin 6b
    “R. Joshua b. Korha says: Whence do we know that a disciple, who is present when his master judges a case and sees a point which would tell in favor of a poor man or against a rich man, should not keep silence?. From the words of the text: Ye shall not be afraid [lo taguru] of the face of any man [Fear no man לא תגורו מפני איש]”

    This week’s parsha שפטים “You shall not judge unfairly לא תטה משפט ; you shall show no partiality לא תכיר פנים; you shall not take bribes; for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning חכמים, and upset the plea of the just ויסלף דברי צדיקם.” (Deuteronomy 16:19).
    דברים ט"ז י"ט
    לֹא תַטֶּה מִשְׁפָּט לֹא תַכִּיר פָּנִים וְלֹא תִקַּח שֹׁחַד כִּי הַשֹּׁחַד יְעַוֵּר עֵינֵי חֲכָמִים וִיסַלֵּף דִּבְרֵי צַדִּיקִם:
    רש"י
    לא תטה משפט - כמשמעו:
    ולא תכיר פנים - אף בשעת הטענות. אזהרה לדיין שלא יהא רך לזה וקשה לזה, אחד עומד ואחד יושב. לפי שכשרואה שהדיין מכבד את חבירו מסתתמין טענותיו:
    ולא תקח שחד - אפילו לשפוט צדק:
    כי השחד יעור - משקבל שחד ממנו אי אפשר שלא יטה את לבו אצלו להפוך בזכותו:
    דברי צדיקים - דברים המצודקים, משפטי אמת:

    I’m fighting radical progressive justice system in NYS. Here’s what I say to the 7 judges on the NYS Court of Appeals:
    “7.Both Appendix B New York State Court of Appeals letter July 15, 2021 and Appendix C New York State Court of Appeals letter July 21, 2021 states The Court of Appeals is a a court of strictly limited appellate jurisdiction which reviews orders of other statutory prescribed courts and tribunals. No statutory provision or procedure exists that would allow the Court to entertain a motion for the relief sought in your papers. 8.No. False. The NYS Court of Appeals is not a court of strictly limited appellate jurisdiction which reviews orders of other statutory prescribed courts and tribunals. The NYS Court of Appeals is the highest court in NYS. The NYS Court of Appeals has jurisdiction of a question of law involving a controversy properly brought before it from a lower NYS court.”

    Alas, Israel, too, has radical progressive system. The illegal squatters in Shimon Hazadik Jerusalem neighborhood can remain and continue not to pay rent to rightful owners.

    How to deal with radical progressive justice systems ? My theory. Don’t give up. Present facts. Don’t spend money on lawyers/detectives and such. Counter any lies and false statements.

    We hear the shofar mornings and say this month Psalm 27. “Of David. The Lord is my light and my help וישעי; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I dread ממי אפחד? When evil men assail me בקרב עלי מרעים to eat up my flesh לאכל את בשרי---It is they, my foes and my enemies, who stumble and fall. Should an army besiege me, my heart will have no fear; should war beset me, still will I be confident.” (Psalm 27:1-3).

    (א) לְדָוִד יְקֹוָק אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא יְקֹוָק מָעוֹז חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָד: (ב) בִּקְרֹב עָלַי מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת בְּשָׂרִי צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי הֵמָּה כָשְׁלוּ וְנָפָלוּ: (ג) אִם תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי מַחֲנֶה לֹא יִירָא לִבִּי אִם תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵחַ:

  5. He learned nothing. He went with "It's only illegal until you get caught"

  6. Maybe he learned that too

    This is more proof of how the main media and social media manipulated everyone.
    Imagine - a Republican nominee for the Supreme Court is accused of mishandling a woman decades ago. The media immediately treats it as fact. As more and more wild and implausible accusations come out, we are repeatedly told that questioning them or asking for evidence is forbidden. Believe her! A man and his family are humiliated on the basis of "She said".
    Now you have this and none of this is news. Nor is it news that Cuomo contributed to the deaths of thousands of New Yorkers through his mishandling of the pandemic. But recall the media coverage at the time - Cuomo is doing an amazing job! Cuomo is the leader we need, not Trump! Anything going wrong in New York? It's because of Trump! All Trump!
    Except Trump was honest - he is a degenerate womanizer with no moral regard for others and only values people when they are of use to him.
    And Cuomo was the liar - he is a degenerate womanizer with no moral regard for others and only values people when they are of use to. Except that since he was the anti-Trump, that all got overlooked, shoved aside or hidden until it couldn't anymore.
    Still waiting for Bill Clinton to be charged with rape, by the way.

  8. Wow! forgive Trumps sins and incompetence because you don't like Cuomo!

  9. Are you reading a different comment?
    No one should forgive Trump's sins. The point is that Cuomo was sinning for all to see but pretending to be a virtuous, benifecient leader even as he was being just as scummy as Trump was openly being.

  10. And the rest of them now pretend like they "didn't know"

  11. I do enjoy catching your posts. But for some reason your blog does attract some some the stupidest among bnei Yisrael.

    My Ellul contemplation has me weighing whether or not to return to my 'fast' from such fare, as I ended up adopting for much of the pandemic.
