Love Cuomo!

I know he doesn't want it, but this guy should be our President, and I like Trump.

Dude just throws out politics and is doing it the right way. Tells his mayor basically "whoa easy pal, I'll make the call." LOVE IT!!!!


The guy makes nothing but sense.....it has taken me off guard.

Well he's complimenting Trump even when reporters try to get him to say something negative about him.

Never seen that from a Democrat.

And don't think its just kissing butt, seems genuine. He seems like a genuine dude.

Yes he did do that recently but i think many will agree he is not non-political either.

By definition, no politician is non-political. Some are more so than others, but they all look to "score points" and gain support among voters, now and future.

A politician being gracious to members of the opposition party may be mostly genuine, but it is likely also, at least partially, calculated for best effect. Politicians need to win elections to stay relevant and I don't think any of them ever forget that, even for 5 minutes.

One thing I have noticed in the areas I collect is all the insanely overpriced stuff getting listed canceled and relisted every few days. We can thank eBay for this with all their free listings being offered.

On the up side a guy that keeps listing a late 80s store model bat as a 1970's game bat said he would update the listing. Hay he might be lying about what the bat is but at least it is insanely overpriced.

Default Cuomo

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...upset-about-it


Coronavirus-spreader Chris Cuomo got a lecture for breaking quarantine, and he's upset about it
by Becket Adams
| April 20, 2020 03:41 PM

“Rules for thee, but not for me” may as well be the Cuomo family motto.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo, who announced on March 31 that he has the coronavirus, broke quarantine on Easter Sunday to visit an undeveloped property in East Hampton, New York, a full 30-minute drive from his home in Southampton, New York.

Note that his case of the disease was fully confirmed at that point. He was not just taking a risk in the event that he might catch or spread the coronavirus. He knowingly carried the virus to another town — an act that is not just selfish but also hypocritical, considering Cuomo is the guy who spends his evenings on CNN complaining that the White House’s pandemic response efforts are insufficient.

Maureen Callahan writes in the New York Post:

"As lowly New Yorkers continue to heed Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s orders to stay indoors, at great personal and economic cost, his sick brother decided there was no better time than Easter Sunday to check out undeveloped property he bought in East Hampton.

"Again: undeveloped property. All unnecessary construction is halted. There was literally no reason for Chris Cuomo to be there."

Cuomo himself admits to breaking quarantine. He claims he was accosted on April 12 by a bicyclist who demanded to know why the CNN anchor was out and about even though he knew he has the coronavirus. The way Cuomo tells the tale, it sounds as if he somehow had a leg to stand on and it was this nosy bicyclist who was in the wrong.

“I don’t want some jackass, loser, fat-tire biker being able to pull over and get in my space and talk bullshit to me,” Cuomo said in a SiriusXM interview. “I don’t want to hear it.”

The anchor continued, complaining that the confrontation reminded him that being famous means he does not have the freedom to tell people like that bicyclist to “go to hell.” (Historically speaking, however, telling strangers to “go to hell” has not been a problem for Cuomo.)

“That matters to me more than making millions of dollars a year,” he said, “I want to be able to tell you to go to hell, to shut your mouth. … I don’t get that doing what I do for a living. Me being able to tell you to 'shut your mouth, or I will' — do you the way you guys do each other.”

Remember: Cuomo's SiriusXM tirade came after a cyclist rightly demanded to know why a celebrity virus-carrier was not sheltering in place. Talk about temper tantrums! The cyclist, for his part, tells a different version of events, one where Cuomo was not so restrained and meek as he claims to have been.

“I said to him,” the cyclist recounted for the New York Post, “‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel.”

The man said that Cuomo responded by saying, “Who the hell are you? I can do what I want!”

Given the CNN anchor’s remarks following the confrontation (“jackass,” “loser,” “fat-tire biker,” etc.), I am inclined to believe the cyclist's version of the story. Then again, given Cuomo's integrity and fact-based journalistic style — I am definitely inclined to believe the cyclist.

So yes, the CNN anchor believes he is above the rules that his own brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is demanding that everyone else follow. Cuomo the Lesser’s behavior is extra galling considering that he uses his nightly CNN program to pretend like he is FDR doing a fireside chat while also railing against the White House’s coronavirus relief efforts.

“On Easter Sunday, you know what?” Cuomo asked on April 8 while yelling at a selectively edited video of President Trump. “I will be sick, and I will be sick for some time to come. … I demand the truth for my situation. I demand the truth for you, as well. Again, too many of us have parents, loved ones, and kids in the balance.”

Four days later, Cuomo drove 30 minutes from his home to inspect an undeveloped property. Four days after that, Cuomo announced that his wife had been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

It is fine if Cuomo wants to attack the White House’s pandemic response. There is plenty to criticize. But the CNN anchor should get his own house in order first.

My initial thought was yes he might be faking. Now no idea.

He sure didn't keep up with the self quarantine that he was preaching, he also lied about not being able to see his family while he was "sick".

And had he not gotten busted he sure would never had admitted to leaving the house.

So lets say he was/is sick. What was with all the I miss my family, I can't leave my basement BS????

He either left the basement because he never was sick or he was sick and went against what he's been spewing, what his brother the Governor has been telling all NY to do.
