(C. Douglas Golden) We’re getting to the not-if-but-when portion of the Andrew Cuomo career death-spiral, something which would be amusing to watch if it didn’t involve dead nursing home patients and alleged sexual abuse victims.

It’s kind of amazing that the number seven has made us forget about the number 12,743. The latter is the actual number of COVID deaths estimated to have happened to have happened due to coronavirus contracted in nursing homes after New York Attorney General Letitia James’ report on the Cuomo administration’s undercount.
Seven, meanwhile, is the current number of women who have accused the governor of sexual misconduct. As I’ve previously noted, don’t expect that number to stay static.
It’s arguably the unnamed sixth accuser that will be Cuomo’s final undoing — if, indeed, anything can shame him into resigning at this point. According to the Albany Times Union, the gubernatorial aide said she “had been called to the [governor’s] mansion under the apparent pretext of having her assist the governor with a minor technical issue involving his mobile phone. They were alone in Cuomo’s private residence on the second floor of the mansion when he closed the door and allegedly reached under her blouse and began to fondle her, according to the source.”
As the Times Union noted, “[t]he additional details describe the most egregious behavior attributed to the governor to date — conduct that could potentially be pursued as a misdemeanor sexual assault charge.”
That was on Wednesday. On Thursday, a Wall Street Journal report accused top Cuomo aides of calling former staffers in an attempt to discredit the governor’s first public accuser, former aide Lindsey Boylan.
“The calls were made by current administration officials and former aides who are still close to the governor’s office, according to several recipients,” the Journal reported.
DeRosa, those with adept memories will also recall, was the aide who told New York Democrat legislators they didn’t publicly release nursing home death data because they “froze” after the Department of Justice initiated an investigation.
Anyone tuning into Cuomo’s Friday conference-call presser expecting a resignation isn’t familiar with how New York’s current governor rolls. In fact, the whole thing was billed as a regular coronavirus update.
What it turned into was Cuomo, a Democrat, accusing the Democrats calling for his resignation (including both New York senators) of “cancel culture.”
Really. Because 2021 couldn’t get any more dispiriting.
The people of New York should not have confidence in a politician who takes an opinion without knowing the facts and substance,” Cuomo said during the conference, according to The Hill.
“People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth. Let the review proceed, I’m not going to resign, I was not elected by the politicians, I was elected by the people.”
Why is he being canceled? Cuomo — who was so beloved by his own party less than a year ago that a goodly portion of them would have encased Joe Biden in concrete and thrown him off the side of a trawler somewhere in Long Island Sound if it meant the New York governor could become their presidential nominee — says it’s because he’s an outsider.
“I am not part of the political club, and you know what? I am proud of it,” Cuomo said.
“I have been in the public eye my entire life. My entire life I have been under public scrutiny, since I was 23 years old and ran my father’s campaign. New Yorkers know me. Wait for the facts.”
Yeah, the guy whose father was a three-term governor of New York and the subject of perennial presidential speculation isn’t “part of the political club,” which is why he’s “been in the public eye my entire life … since I was 23 years old and ran my father’s campaign.”
In February, Disney fired “The Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano after comments she made comparing the treatment of conservatives to political demonization in Nazi Germany.
Even Dr. Seuss was recently canceled for caricatures deemed racially insensitive.
You know who wasn’t canceled? A governor who covered up thousands of nursing home COVID deaths, expressed no sympathy and has stood accused of at least seven incidents of sexual impropriety. That’s not “cancel culture.” That’s actually engaging in behavior that would (and should) get him canceled.
It’s not if but when. Gov. Cuomo could have resigned long ago and saved himself this sturm und drang. Now he wants us to believe, as people are actually being canceled, that he’s a victim of cancel culture because he’s not part of the “part of the political club” even though he’s the very definition of it.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

Risks? RISKS?!?!???!?!?! That’s too funny.
This asshat IS a laughingstock.
Ponder this. If Fredo spent one day, ONE… DAY… in prison for every elderly person he sent to their death by putting virulent patients in nursing homes, HE’D BE IN PRISON FOR OVER 50 YEARS!!!
But oh!!!, It’s not MY Grandma. It’s not MY Grandpa. If that’s how you feel, you’re an insensitive, evil person with no concern for your fellow citizens. To you, all I can say is, I hope you take the jab and die, and I encourage the rest of your family to take it as well. In fact, send me your particulars. I’ll gladly sign y’all up.
The rest of us don’t need you. You’re an obstruction to justice. You’re an obstruction to freedom. You’re an obstruction to AMERICA!!! Time for you to leave this existence. Take the experimental genetic modification shot. That’ll be a good start and save the rest of us a lot of trouble.
Is that a cannabis lollipop?
