"I exactly remember looking down, seeing his hand, which is a large hand, thinking to myself, 'Oh, my God. This is happening.'"

From "Cuomo accuser Brittany Commisso breaks her silence to detail groping allegations and says the governor is lying" (CBS).

The dam is breaking. Perhaps even the walls are closing in.

So, it was her phone the selfie was taken with, right? Interesting move. Perhaps Cuomo picked that one up from George Costanza.

If CBS is reporting this, then the fix is in and it's official...the powers that be (Obama) are clearing the runway for Kamala...

Joe's record is so bad and she is so unlikeable, they fear a primary challenge in 2024.

Well Cuomo won't feel slighted. She said he had "large hands". I seem to recall some political kerfuffle in a recent campaign where a fellow sneered at his opponent for having "small hands".

I don't much care what size hands Cuomo has.. I do think that he's an XXL jerk.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

from the link:
"Cuomo has denied this accusation as well, saying, "to touch a woman's breasts, who I hardly know, in the mansion with 10 staff around, with my family in the mansion, to say, 'I don't care who sees us.' I would have to lose my mind to do such a thing."

Commisso called the governor's response "disgusting."

"I know the truth. He knows the truth. I know what happened and so does he," she said. "I don't believe that there were 10 staff there that day. I don't believe his family was there that day. And if that's what he has to say to make himself feel better, I really, I feel sorry for him." "

Her come back smacks his BS down.

Isn't it an interesting contrast of what real victims of sexual assault sound like? They know exactly, where, when and how it happened. Contrast and compare with serial liar Blasey Ford when she tried to smear SCJ Kavanaugh. Notice how the media believed everything Blasey said and can barely pay attention to Cuomo's 10 women. They all have details, time, day which room. Told their friends afterwards. Weird. It's almost like some sort of agenda is at play.

Trying to sort out my impressions... I think that if these had happened in a singles' bar, it would just be an account of a pushy, obnoxious guy. I don't care if these are classified as "assault" on the books somewhere, it would be part of the difficult touchy business of finding one's mate. One of them initiates something, other one either reciprocates or pushes away. Could be these are overdoing it and crossing a line, but I've seen plenty of guys do the same. Some of the girls would write him off as a jerk. Maybe.
But on the job? By the boss? There it should be completely obvious that he is wielding his power as a weapon against the women, using it to coerce without needing to say so. A person with power needs to tread very carefully for exactly that reason. If he doesn't understand that, that's why we have HR departments. In a work environment these are way across the line.

“ Her come back smacks his BS down.”

I had the exact opposite reaction. Her response sounds BS to me. Problem with he said she said. He’s a pig, but she’s cashing in as best she can. Or not. I don’t know.

"I believe that he groped me, he touched me, not only once, but twice."

Such an odd declaration. She believes.

This also weird. After she said he rubbed her butt, she says this: "I was embarrassed. Not only embarrassed for what was going on, I was embarrassed that a governor wanted a selfie and I couldn't take it. I was so nervous. I remember looking at them, and when he said, 'can I see them?' I showed him them. And he said, 'Oh, those aren't – those aren't good."

Not saying she's lying, but worrying about not being able to take a selfie? Saying that you "believe." Imagine what a defense attorney could do on cross.

I still can't get past the points that Cuomo has overseen one of the most corrupt state governments in the country. Certainly it's not just him. The entire NY State Assembly is a mess and on multiple payrolls. That said, Cuomo's brilliance at stuffing nursing homes full of covid infections early on was a real glimpse into the intelligence of both the Governor and his team. Brilliant.

His policies amounted to a death sentence to thousands. Why are we discussing his large hands on butts and breasts? Millions of instances of this happen every day around the world. (as well as smaller hands grabbing family jewels to check them out). It happens in every country, every day. It may not be right, but it doesn't kill anyone.

Where the f*** is the outrage over his policy that killed moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers? I don't get our society at all.

Cuomo's inclusion in his denial of the place where she alleges that the touching occurred is a tell. I'd bet he remembers it happening somewhere else.

It's an interesting phenomenon, the sort of mental paralysis that I think a lot of women experience when a man's inner perv surfaces when you're not expecting it. And I don't think it's because the woman is looking out for her career in that moment.

I think Andrew Cuomo makes Eliot Spitzer look like a paragon of virtue. But then I don't think Cuomo is interested in sex with these women. A very different animal than Spitzer I think.

It's good to be the king.

Governor Cuomo has resigned. I guess his promise to be a "good boy" and not run for re-election in 2022 was not enough to stave off impeachment proceedings. Ultimately if one acts like a thug and an XXL jerk, Nemesis will come.

Exactly. They don't care that he murdered thousands of people....and never did.
