There were even more complaints about tRump and Kavanaugh. Neither was compelled to resign.

I'll go along with the idea of a Democrat being forced to resign when this same standard is applied to Republicans.
So then would you oppose any type of reparations until the rest of the world followed suit for their own transgressions on human rights (ie slavery which has happened all over the world for all of them)? Just wondering if your malleability is consistent or not

Rapist; sexual assault. How many such?
How many payoffs?

I understand the reaction to hold Cuomo to the same standards as the GOP holds their own (no limits, even rape), but I'd rather be consistent and say he should resign.

The Northam thing I see differently.
Not in office. His actions as a public servant stand in stark contrast.
35 years earlier, different time and era.
Nevertheless very wrong and he apologized.

I'd have the same reaction if a GOP Governor had had a similar event in his far past and he recognized it was wrong and apologized. And if he had also clearly demonstrated sensitivity to race perspectives different from his own in his subsequent and especially recent actions as a public servant all the easier.

They deserve a Governor fully on the job and not distracted by personal matters that make governing difficult or impossible. So, effective immediately, I am resigning as the Governor of New York.

The majority of my ancestors had their property confiscated in Spain and were forced into prison ships where they survived by eating animal excrement and were exiled. I'll gladly accept reparations from what they endured.

You may thank me now for being consistent.

Re tRump hypocrisy, on the Books thread I recently listed Mansfield's Lincoln's Battle With God. A particular passage struck me:

Lincoln refused, at least in his more mature years, to play the usual religious games of politics, to appear to be what he was not. Many a man - many a politician in particular - has been able to attend a church that held doctrines he did not believe or to publicly avow what he privately denied. Lincoln could not bring himself to follow this example.


A remarkable contrast to tRump holding a Bible he has never read, standing in front of a church whose services he never attends, and proclaiming himself "Chosen" using biblical words he profanes on a daily basis.

Cuomo is toast. There are many more than enough votes in the NY Senate to send him packing. He will be forced to choose between Impeachment and resignation. He can't ride this out.

This is not the party of Trump!!

There's no way that surprised you that he didn't get it.

As for Andy, I posted a few months ago on one of these pages my second person knowledge of his behavior as a teenager from the stories told me by my brother-in-law who lived across the street from the Cuomos when Mario was just a NYC big shot. Andy got away with many things other high school kids would not. Daddy to the rescue. Andy obviously thought he remained above the rules.

Let me list the worst Trumpy trumpisms:

Called John McCain a loser
Saying whatever he said about the 4 star family guy
Pushing the NATO leaders out of the way for a photo op
Surrounding himself with 2nd rate advisors
Pretending to be chummy with Kim Jung Un
Bringing fast food into the White House.
Commenting at all about Kapernick
Didn’t stick around on January 20 to hand off power in a civil way

Generally, all bs picayune stuff, but it adds up. Most of this really bothered me.

But he did some good if not great things too:

Judges (by far the biggest thing he did)
Tax cuts
Withdrew from Iran nuclear deal
Protected free speech on campus
Made European nations pay more for NATO

I won’t go on; the point is your hatred of the guy precludes any rational, nuanced analysis of Trump, so it’s not worth it to even get into it with you.

I thank you for the partial reply and honesty, prefer and like consistency but don’t think of it as something is value enough to thank someone else for (he’ll there’s value in inconsistency I’m just trying to see here as a datapoint for my own edification).

My point was however that while different situations they both involve potential and often equivocating out of self interest.

Another pervy Democrat arrested.

Arizona state Sen. Tony Navarrete accused of 7 felony charges involving sexual conduct with 2 boys (14 years old).
