Andrew Cuomo

Mario’s Son’s Shitty Resignation And Lament

That’s all folks.

  Albany, New York, U.S.A.

It took a decade, but the reign of Governor Andrew Cuomo finally and mercifully has ended. There actually was a time when Mario’s Son would have been extricated earlier when he abolished the Moreland Commission to investigate permanent government corruption in the halls of the Albany State House-which was actually a fulfillment of a campaign promise he swore on that got him the governor’s position-but wound up being at the time his biggest self-own as D.A. investigations were going into REBNY’s role in influencing state policy decisions and eventually wound up getting two of the three men in the room Shelly Silver and Dean Skelos incarcerated for their pay to play schemes benefiting their donors.

Surprisingly, Cuomo managed to skate after all that and he continued on with business as usual making sure his moneyed donors continue to profit off his policy decisions. It wasn’t until COVID-19 ravished New York that Cuomo really went overboard. Sure everybody knows about how his executive decisions got 15,000 elderly people killed with his nursing home edict and how he obscenely profited from the pandemic by writing a book about it, but the reason why he’s gone is because Cuomo is a horndog.

After homemaker entrepreneur Sandra Lee dumped Cuomo just a few months before the pandemic was about to smack New York, Cuomo must have been really hardup to get laid. Then when the pandemic was ravishing his state, Cuomo was suddenly thrust into the limelight with his daily briefings and his constant appearances on his kid brother’s prime time news show on CNN. Suddenly and disturbingly, the governor became a sex symbol over night, culminating with universal adoration from morning and late night talk show hosts and social media influencers which led to even more disturbing merchandise honoring the governor’s sex symbol status . And being a megalomaniac narcissist, he probably though he can parlay this newfound fame into getting some young poontang in the office. And being how he was a counterpoint to universally culturally loathed Donald Trump, he probably thought he could shit where he ate and get away with it.

It was around this time Charlotte Bennett was his aide. Although he didn’t lay a hand on her, Cuomo’s still took opportunities to give her insinuations and implications that he thought would make her swoon for him. Cuomo must have thought he could parlay those Cuomosexual t-shirts into political ingenue arm candy.

 

Around the time Cuomo became the recipient of a just made up Emmy award is when he set his ribald wiles on Executive Assistant #1 by getting her alone in a room at the Governor’s mansion and having his way with her, as he reached into her shirt and went to second base with her. EA #1 kept this traumatic incident to herself because of the culture of intimidation established in the Cuomo administration and undoubtedly the cult of personality around him because of his celebrity and mostly his political status as a leader guiding his state and the nation during the pandemic.

After EA #1 was highlighted in A.G. Letitia James report as well as a female State Trooper Cuomo got liberally handsy with and one incident where he asked her why she doesn’t wear a dress (maybe it’s because that’s not the required uniform ya perv), Cuomo released a mea video culpa to all media outlets that he never touched anyone inappropriately, repeating the same defense he made after Lindsey Boyland unleashed her accusations of predatory behavior towards her back in March that opened up the investigation. Following 10 minutes of ponderous anecdotes and denials, Cuomo’s video unleashed a montage of photos showing him kissing and touching his mother and other politicians.

From the looks of some of these photos, it’s telling if these people, and one child, were appreciative of Cuomo’s affectations.

Even Vice President Al Gore was visibly cringing.

Prefacing and during this ludicrous montage, Cuomo claimed that they were all acts of affection that was passed down by his mother Matilda and became ingrained in him while growing up Italian, brazen false equivalencies he attributes to his aggressive inappropriate touching and condescending come-on incidents with the 11 women he had encounters with. But it’s extremely doubtful that any Italian mother ever reached into her son’s shirt and grabbed his boobies or made lascivious comments about his figure for being such a good boy.

Once D.A. James report was released and confirmed that Cuomo did touch all those women inappropriately, it didn’t take long for the typhoon deluge of demands for his resignation from New York’s elected officials and Democrat Party establishment, again, now that it was politically expedient after letting Cuomo slide for months to continue lording from the Governor’s Mansion although while taking advantage of the weakened megalomaniac by getting marijuana finally legalized, debt forgiveness for CUNY students and extensions of the eviction moratorium.

It also didn’t take long for new expose’s to come out about Cuomo’s protection racket that tried to oppress accusations of his abuse of power and toxic workplace environment with Cuomo’s political gun moll Melissa de Rosa got cited for assembling a team to dig up dirt on Lindsey Boyland after the former top aide went commando with her accusations against the LuvGuv on Medium and Twitter. The fallout also crashed on Mario’s other son Chris Cuomo, who along with other major DNC advisors got caught giving his brother advice while being given access to state records to circumvent the bad publicity of his brother’s scandal.

Also after Cuomo’s shitty video lament, it was clear to Executive Assistant #1 that her former boss was going to continue smearing her and she came out and exposed her identity in an interview with CBS News as she thoroughly explained her harrowing experience with her former boss, her expression wholly revealing the trauma she went and is still going through with the memory of that incident. Which was enough to convince Mario’s son to finally announce his resignation after 20 minutes of his follow up unrepentant sorry/not sorry video still denying all the sexual harassment allegations against him. 

“I have never crossed the line But the lines have been redrawn”

It’s not hard to figure out why Mario’s Son is still being defiant about his fervent denials and it’s not just his frequent misinterpretation of being New York Tough which inspired him to reject resignation for 5 months. Its that D.A. James report doesn’t really charge him with anything, for it’s a civil case and not a criminal case. So Cuomo won’t be seeing any jail time any time soon, unless the incident with Brittany Commiso leads to charges.

Plus a deal was clearly made with Cuomo and the State Assembly for him (and his moll de Rosa) to keep his job and run the state for another two weeks, which should factor in the major land deal coming to the Penn Station district for another Hudson Yards luxury tower and commercial tower district with plutocrat Stephen Ross and who knows what other land grabs and tax break extensions Cuomo will enable and entitle them with after the sociopath developer donor money funded suarez they threw on Andy’s birthday a week before James report came out. And now with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie abruptly dropping the impeachment proceedings against Mario’s son for his shitty resignation, Cuomo can still run for office again if he wishes to do so.

So what’s happened here is that after all the accusations and all the corrupt machinating that kept Cuomo running New York State has really amounted to nothing except getting the governor cancelled or deplatformed for a little while. D.A. James investigation was an exciting chase that was better than the actual catch. Meanwhile, Cuomo’s other major crime that affected and traumatized more lives-and ended over 15,000 of them-is still not being addressed, and that coward Carl Heastie has just killed the chance for James to do a long overdue probe on it, which follows the Biden Administration’s Justice Dept. heinous decision to not pursue civil rights charges against Cuomo for his edict ordering nursing homes to take in COVID patients while knowing full well how the virus impacts on elder people with weakened immunity and in vulnerable environments. And with the exception of a few  officials, it’s amazing how they were willing to tolerate Cuomo for his involuntary mass manslaughter of thousands of elderly people and then order de Rosa and her mean girl posse to juke the stats so it would be presentable in a book her boss got paid 5 million to write and then order her to lie to federal officials about the real death count.

The same with Washington D.C. too. For Cuomo has a loyal friend in the senile fascist Figurehead of the United States in Biden, because Cuomo was there in meetings about the infrastructure bills being written in Congress during James investigation and was also still the leader of the National Governors Board. It must have hurt Unkie Joe to finally call for his ouster for his perversions considering all the hair of children he opportunistically smelled during swear ins and his own finger raping of Tara Reade that he got away with thanks to the undermining of her accusations and militia style smearing of her on social media. That undermining courtesy of the fraudulent feminist organization Times Up, which also assisted Cuomo in providing protection for him going after his accusers.

All New York got out of this was a brief respite for seeing Andy’s gargoyle face for a while and it seems no justice is really going to come for all those elderly people Cuomo made expendable to protect his hospital and hospice care executives. The executive downfall of Mario’s son may assure a better working environment in the Albany State House but the disease of permanent government patronage and cronyism will still remain the same.

To quote Joe Biden: Nothing Will Fundamentally Change.

Surely, the former LuvGuv can appreciate all that.

 

Governor Cuomo’s COVIDsplosions In The Sky

New York, America

Governor Andrew Cuomo sure knows how to throw a celebration. The most recent on being the lifting of most/some of the distancing and masking protocols of the pandemic. Inspired by the CDC and the vaccination stats hitting 70%, Mario’s oldest son suddenly came out like a bolt right out of the blue with a spur of the moment state wide fireworks show to mark the quasi-official end of the old New Normal in New York.

Following a grand statesman address where he announced his state’s and constituency’s very abrupt post pandemic liberation, he found time to declare this little tone-deaf nugget to goad the rest of the citizenry that’s still hesitant and mostly distrustful of the three vaccines still available:

“You want to honor #EssentialWorkers, I’ll tell you how: you get vaccinated so you don’t need essential workers again.”

Leave it to Andy Cuomo to malign and alienate two sects of the working class and think it’s a compliment (just like Micheal Scott from the office but sinister), people who can’t afford health insurance worried about withdrawal symptoms that might hospitalized them and the people who worked in hospitals who risked their lives taking care of the infected and dying in the last year especially after Cuomo still attempted to shut down hospitals when cases started to go down as if this will be the last outbreak on this planet.

As for the fireworks some found it great, like all the people who got front row on the park grass, a spot on a riverside promenade rail, on their luxury condo balcony and rooftop amenity seats; and most obviously by some of Cuomo’s loyalist subjects…

But others, especially some very renowned from being victimized by the Governor’s obscene and flagrant abuse of his executive powers, found the utter idea of the Governor’s fireworks festivities beyond off-putting.

You would think the Manhattan BP candidate would be a little biased, reasonably so, because of her past experience in Andy’s employ, but some of the sky explosion decorations did come out quite eerie and in a way, properly fit the theme of Cuomo’s pandemic victory party.

Some of these explosions looked exactly like the COVID-19 cell.

Not a joke.

Sure it’s a bit of a coinkydink, but observations like these are hard to pass up considering the proclivities of the micromanaging megalomaniac governor. But what can’t be dismissed is that these festivities were not spur of the moment but obviously took month of planning, as does every other fireworks event. Plus Cuomo has already established himself as a self-promoting event organizer with his prior ostentatious grand openings of the Second Avenue subway and the Kusciusko Bridge.  As with those events, they meant less for the people that used them every day and more for Cuomo’s behemoth ego-driven legacy he’s trying to leave for himself.

But as with the Kusciusko Bridge and (also his Dad’s bridge) Cuomo’s and New York’s victory over coronavirus might have been greatly exaggerated and premature, even with the CDC guidelines. With a little creatively shady accounting of the 70% vaccination rate for liberty, the Luv Guv’s health dept with an assist from Mayor de Blasio’s sniveling pandemic advisor HHS Director Dr. Mitchell Katz, combined the adult vaccination stats with the vaccination stats of kids and teenagers and decided to use them anyway despite it’s glaring inaccuracies. Plus the 70% indicator is not even accurate because the stats have been amateurishly juked to include the masses who only got the first vaccination while waiting for the second one, which they have to wait three weeks for, which actually makes the real amount of people fully vaxed at about 35%. There’s also the issue of a rash of fake vac cards that have become easily accessible.

Then there is also the issue of the B.1617 Delta Variant of COVID-19, previously known as the India Variant  because it wound up killing tens of thousands of citizens in India following a humongous festival thrown by Prime Minister Modi to celebrate that nation’s way premature victory over coronavirus. While this has been determined to be a “virus of concern” by the CDC, the WHO has treated this variant with more severity. The Delta Variant was also found in Canada to be invulnerable to vaccines as well. Which will give us more agita if cases rise again in New York City and upstate. It should also be noted that the city and state have no data for re-infections after vaccines too.

And as is want of Cuomo, there are underlying insidious motives for his public grandiosities and it again comes in the form of more personal and government scandals and in this case both. Right after Cuomo lit up the sky with COVIDsplosion rockets red ball glare, an expose came out about his kid sister raising funds for his long time friend, symbolic adopted brother and  convicted partner in crime and government ally Joseph Percoco who was arranging ziti bribes with companies looking to do business with Andrew and Albany. Not for nothing, but it looks like Andy sent his sister as a proxy to shut Percoco up in case he wants to sing to the feds if the nursing home scandal starts really getting hot. And it might just happen, after NYC’s bar association put out their own study proving without a doubt that Cuomo’s edict is what led to the unnecessary preventable deaths of over 15,000 elderly people when he permitted hospitals to send COVID-19 positive patients to be cared for in nursing homes for the six deadliest  weeks in the state of New York.

The sad, terrible thing about all this is that it’s still possible that Cuomo is going to skate on by and still be able to run again in 2021, and still get endorsed by the establishment Democrat Party and he still is the chairman of the National Governors Association too. Even though his craven decisions led to the deaths of over 54,000 New Yorkers and if the Delta Variant continues it’s insidious march we might be looking at thousands more to fuck up this speculative greatest summer in New York City history.

This is why Cuomo is acting like he’s the COVID conquering King Of New York. Too bad there is no vaccine for hubris.

 

Mayor de Blasio Accuses MTA For Running Protection Of Governor Cuomo’s Scandals After Proving Them Correct About The Rise In Subway Crime

New York Reaches Higher Ground With Marijuana Legalization

/ JQ LLC / Leave a comment

Albany, New York

It took almost a decade since it was first proposed, three years of Governor Cuomo blowing it off, and 50 years since Governor Rockefeller gleefully criminalized it, but in the 3rd decade of the 21st Century, New York has finally ended the prohibition on Marijuana, making it legal to smoke, grow and sell.

This way overdue decision is going to ignite this state’s economy with tons of businesses and jobs. Since the law was ratified, stocks on marijuana and smoking and toking accessories are literally reaching new highs. It might take a while, but soon we all will have the divine right to buy it in a dispensary, a chain pharmacy and finally at the corner bodega without worrying if the po po is rolling around the corner. It’s going to be so sweet to buy a dime bag of sativa instead of that ajax tainted K-2 shit those stores have been selling for the last 5 years.

It took awhile for Mario’s son Governor Cuomo to finally come to his senses and also follow the science, considering the well-documented medicinal benefits of the wacky tobaccky, notably for treating glaucoma and even PTSD and cultural benefits being responsible for the best music that’s been created in the last 70 years. It’s also irresistible to point out how Cuomo decided to vote for legalization when he pointed out how the justice system unfairly treated Black and Latino people who got charged and served time for minor possessions and how his expedient empathy for being hounded by the cops and the feds correlates precisely with two federal investigations against him for his executive decisions lead to over 15,000 fatalities in nursing homes and his abominable abuse of power over his female staffers in multiple sexual harassment cases.

No matter, in a year’s time, there will be no need for a road trip to northern Mass. or a PATH ride to Jersey. Kind buds will be sprouting and flowing without restriction from Niagra Falls to the New York Island. A critical mass of tokers finally liberated,  feeling the effects of the high til infinity.

Smoke em if you got ’em, and when you get ’em.

Shaun Donavan Needs His Daddy To Make Him Mayor

New York Times

With New York City’s mayoral primary a little more than three months away and a deadline to qualify for the city’s generous matching-funds program having just passed, pleas for donations have been in overdrive in recent days.But in the background, another spigot of money has quietly opened for two Democratic mayoral candidates who are trailing in early polls: Raymond J. McGuire and Shaun Donovan.

An independent expenditure committee for Mr. McGuire, a former Wall Street executive, has garnered more than $3 million since Feb. 1, with more than 70 donations from business magnates, including Kenneth Langone, the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot; the art world philanthropist Agnes Gund; and the real estate developer Aby J. Rosen.

A new super PAC for Mr. Donovan, a former cabinet member in the Obama administration, in contrast, has drawn $1.02 million from just two donors — the primary benefactor being his father, Michael Donovan, an executive in the ad tech industry who donated $1 million.

In an interview, Mr. Donovan, the candidate’s father, said he was trying to “level the playing field,” particularly since some candidates began raising money before they even declared they were running for mayor.

“I can’t give very much to Shaun directly, and seeing the amount of money McGuire had raised and all these other people, I felt he needed enough to go out and compete and get the message across,” Mr. Donovan said.

In other words, Shaun Donavon, a man who recently turned 55 years old and worked for Mayor Mike Bloomberg and President Obama, saw his current predicament in the mayor’s race and said:

“DADDY I WANNA BE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY RIGHT NOW!!!!”

“GIMME A MILLION DOLLAAAARRRSSS!!!”

It’s not even worth going into why he’s running and why he’ll be a shit mayor just like the current shit mayor who’s been stinking up city hall for 7.3 years, but to summarize Shaunny will not to do a thing to improve the housing crisis and the continuing demolition by neglect of public housing in the five boroughs considering they never improved in his time running city housing in New York and Housing and Urban Development in the White House.

But the focus should not only be on the infinitely cancerous influence of money and politics that’s destroying democracy stemming from the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, because there are so many piles of rancid corrupted shit involved in Shaun’s pop trying to salvage his floundering and now incestuous mayoral campaign. Daddy Donovan is not only his son’s number one financier, but he’s on the board of the slick public relations firm MediaOcean that’s been fueling Shaun’s campaign media exposure. To make this more nauseating, Shaun’s current raise on his allowance is designed to qualify for public matching campaign funds which would him to accrue 9x the amount of every individual (person) donation under 2,000. Campaign funding that comes directly from city taxpayer dollars.

This brazen purchasing of the primary by Shaun’s dad is that besides him there’s only one person that feels he’s qualified to run City Hall. Even more pathetic is that Shaun’s dad thinks his son’s (inevitable) absence from the race is some form of voter disenfranchisement and not because he can’t keep up with his competitors whether on the issues or fundraising. Especially with the latter, considering Shaun must have been jelly about Ray McGuire’s rapid money bundling from corporations and celebrities.

Another thing about Shaun Donovan and his pop trying to buy recognition and relevance in the mayor’s race is that this fits in with the demographic profile and stereotype of the hipster transients that moved to  Brooklyn. It’s no coincidence that Shaun was running the HPD Dept. under Bloomberg, running his housing and development policies that fostered the rapid overvalued speculative real estate market rate with renters dependent on their parents financing their rents while living lavishly beyond their means, which led to hyper gentrification and tower pestilence as the germination of Brooklyn’s gentrification that began in Williamsburg and creeped into nearby middle and working class towns like Bushwick and Bed-Stuy.

If there is anything to gleam by this passive patronage by Donavon and Son from the insipid article by the Times is the obvious toxic internecine connections involved in Shaun’s PAC is that the treasurer handling his million dollar allowance Brittany Wise previously worked on de Blasio’s 2013 mayoral campaign. The Blaz’s campaign manager Bill Hyers is reunited with Ms. Wise as advisor for Donovan’s farcical campaign. Overlooked in the Times article is that Shaun’s dad’s “ad tech” firm’s CEO goes by the name of Bill Wise. Doesn’t say if Brittany is his wife or sibling, but the kismet is super strong here.

But it’s not kismet, it’s establishment. Shaun is a spoiled manchild but he’s not naive. He was there when Bloomberg was buying the mayor’s office by spending 100 million dollars on ads to numb people into voting for him and in a way not to vote at all from being fatigued from his overexposure, and then how he bought other oligarchs and city council to run for an illegal third term.

And surely Shaun got inspired by the current Hizzoner; even though Mayor de Blasio has been a verified disaster at his job, he’s shown to be an idiot savant when it comes to filthy lucre fundraising, starting with his bribe and straw donor laden 501 c 4 he ran in City Hall with the Campaign For One New York to his shell game money laundering stylings with his two PAC funds he ran during his farcical presidential run in 2019 and was still able to escape unscathed even when he got sloppy with donors who themselves got indicted for the crime of giving him bribes and getting access to services as the Blaz had the good fortune of the SCOTUS McDonnell decision that legalized the acceptance of government bribes.

Top this off with the normalization of impunity in New York as Governor Cuomo continues to run the state and the pandemic response while being overwhelmed with three heinous corruption scandals with two federal investigations and near universal calls for his resignation and is still laughing it up in daily briefings with clearly intimidated brownnosing aides and officials and legendary Mets and Yankee pitchers like everything is still new normal.

Which is why Shaun Donavan and his Daddy’s flacks get in cognitive dissonance mode about their honest and wholesome graft, as plain and obvious as it is. They might not emerge victorious from this stunt, but they have set a new precedent and a newer normal for campaign fundraising and ultimately political patronage.

It’s new values for a  newer normal in a New New York.

Yeah? Well, then normal is fucked.
