A NEW DAY IN NEW YORK

Andrew Cuomo Was Only Ever Good at Cruel Manipulation

And the very thing he and his crew delighted in so much—dehumanizing others for their own advancement and enjoyment—is the thing that brought them down.

LIES, EXCUSES, INSULTS

Cuomo Goes Down Like He Ruled—With Lies, Excuses and Insults

He didn’t resign because he’s seen the light, but because he thinks doing so will allow him to return. Nevertheless, he desisted.

OK, SWEETHEART

Andrew Cuomo Remains a F*cking Creep to the Bitter End

His last line of defense in this game, as he clearly sees it, of he said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said… is to smear women.

‘THE ARROGANCE OF THESE GUYS’

Gaetz Is the Latest in a Long Line of Unrepentant Creeps

STUPID PREDATOR

The Women Cuomo Underestimated Are About to Bring Him Down

You know what’s a good, easy way to know when your “flirtation” is “unwanted,” governor? When a woman removes your hand from her backside.

‘HE WAS TESTING ME’

NY’s 1st Dad Dished on Daughters While Creeping On Staffers

When dad-in-chief Andrew Cuomo wasn’t telling jokes about his daughter’s boyfriend on TV, he was pressing a woman his daughter’s age and on his payroll to discuss her sex life.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?

Cuomo’s Harassment Hypocrisy Is All About Money and Power

The sad truth is that Cuomo’s power in New York State really has been nearly absolute. He doesn’t just watch the watchmen; he picked them!

STILL THAT GUY

No, Andrew Cuomo Isn’t the Hero We Need

Yes, Trump’s abysmal public performances left a vacuum that the New York governor has filled ably. But let’s remember the pre-coronavirus Andrew, too.

WHAT IS THIS AMERICA?

Trump’s GOP: The Old Should Die and the Women Should Breed

It’s a wild twist from the political party that effectively stopped attempts to provide health care to all Americans by claiming that to do so would initiate “death panels.”
