What’s the end game in this scenario? He was already gone as a possible presidential candidate. Is it just to crow about the Ds “protecting women”?”

Started to post a comment here, then decided to combine it with the thoughts sparked by the other Cuomo thread.

I agree that – as I indicated – the evidence seems more truly credible here.

And I still defend Roy Moore – although yes, he certainly wasn’t and still isn’t any favorite of mine. But the evidence just wasn’t good at all.

If there are witnesses and contemporaneous texts, that lends more credence to the accusations, although it doesn’t make them true although it makes them much more likely to be true.

You were almost the only blogger to explain what was wrong with the accusations against Roy Moore. He was (and is) a difficult person to defend… others defended Kavanaugh but it was essentially the same situation and the difference was because Kavanaugh was “one of them” and Roy Moore wasn’t. I started regularly following you because you saw this.

In Cuomo’s case this is not he said/she said from 30/40 years ago. This is from 2, 3, 4 years ago, including at least one photo, and not anonymous rumors leaked to reporters but official interviews with hundreds of witnesses.

Important for us to be fair, and also for us to recognize the differences. Not saying you personally haven’t. But there are degrees of “credible”, and we’re in a very different place than we were with Moore and Kavanaugh.

I haven’t bothered to check if this is an accurate report.

Ah, the “master criminal” defense. If I was stupid enough to do this I would get caught. Everyone knows I am not stupid, ergo I did not do this.

Even (or should I say, especially) very smart people get complacent or arrogant, when they’ve been allowed to get away with things for a long time.

His son is a mass murderer. Of far more than died on 9/11. In fact, what ‘American’ has murdered more innocents than Andrew Cuomo?

Critics of Mario Cuomo maintained he was one odd and vindictive fellow. (Reporters would get calls from the Governor at 6:30 am complaining about coverage. One reporter later said the call he got started with “You cut my testicle off!”). Odd and vindictive he may have been. He was also very much a bourgeois Italian of a certain vintage. He was generally formal around strangers, didn’t like traveling, didn’t like living any appreciable distance from his mother, loyal to old friends, respectful of a menu of inherited norms, substantive and formal. His son is a vulgar and unpleasant man.

This fits the storyline, underling setting up higher ups.
BTW, much of the behavior used to be defined as flirting. Some of those old movies have the hero stealing a kiss, getting slapped, grabs the woman for a longer kiss while she melts in his arms. These old geezers learned form those movies. Young kids now learning from porn on internet.

James herself is devoid of real skills; her significance is that she is open about turning the Attorney-General’s staff into a political weapon. This is that with which Democratic voters in New York are content.

It’s a reasonable inference that James, the bosses in the state legislature, various and sundry lawyer-lobbyists, the Sulzbergers, the local chapters of the sorosphere, and the New York Democratic Party’s major donors have decided chattering amongst themselves Sonny is expendable. Guessing Kathy Hochul will be occupying the governor’s chair ‘ere long. She’s filler and the hive will wreck her if she doesn’t stay in her lane and stand down next year.

(As opposed to genuinely masculine men who are usually gentlemen.)

Notice, how Cuomo is everything the left said Trump would be.
