Wow. Whose side is Andrew Cuomo on? Or is the point so clear, it doesn't matter? Or he's laying the groundwork for 2028?

What I hear him saying between the lines: I was the one with good senseand you made me cede the ground to these clowns. Look what they've done. Don't you miss me?

Chuck said...

Anytime I see someone say "Democrat" when the correct proper name usage is "Democratic," my response is, "You make yourself look and sound stupid when you do that. 'The Democratic Party' -- and I'm not even associated with that Party -- is a proper name. You don't get a choice on how to refer to them. They have their own name. You can continue doing it if you want; it's a free country. But I'm not going to be part of a conversation that traffics in that kind of stupidity."

Readering said...

He's talking about the civil case too, since as AG he would have no control over Manhattan DA.

Sebastian said...

"I was the one with good sense"

Except when it mattered.

The Cuomos of America give the nice moderate people of America the illusion that there are reasonable Dems somewhere. Serious people! Not clowns! But of course the Dems have moved left and are not about to move back. They are counting on abortion overrriding immigration and inflation to solidify their prog turn. Contra Cuomo, they think lawfare will be either a wash that nicely hamstrings Trump's campaign or a net gain in that it persuades nice people not to vote for a "convicted felon." It's a rational calculation.

Meade said...

Thanks for sharing your feelings with us, Ass Chuck.

Aggie said...

Well, he took care of grandma for you, didn't he?

Like every professional politician, when his lips are moving, it means something. He's really hoping the justice system in New York stays the way it is, for his own sake.

Readering said...

Same could be said for Hunter prosecutions on both coasts.

Yancey Ward said...

Cuomo will never be President, but he might well become governor of New York again- or even U.S. Senator. I am wondering which of the two NY Senators he is most pissed off at.

Yancey Ward said...

"Same could be said for Hunter prosecutions on both coasts."

True- if Joe Biden had remained retired in 2020 it is all but certain that Hunter Biden is never even investigated the DoJ. However, the Bidens have only themselves to blame for Hunter Biden's conviction- if the DoJ had never tried to put Trump behind bars, it is also true that Hunter Biden never would have been investigated by the DoJ. Even worse, though, is that all Hunter Biden had to do was plead guilty with the original plea agreement that had a small fine and no jail time- plus, had he done so the rest of the potential charges would have been quietly allowed to expire with the statute of limitations. Instead of doing that very smart thing, the Bidens decided to roll the dice on Hunter just getting acquitted by juries in Delaware and California. The first of those bets came up snake eyes- the second might well do so, too, since the case there is even stronger.

The thing you keep omitting, Readering, is that Hunter Biden is being investigated and tried by his father's own DoJ- so he isn't being rail-roaded the way Trump is being rail-roaded- the two examples are even close to being the same.

Yancey Ward said...

"You don't get a choice on how to refer to them."

Chuck, do you really not understand what is wrong with the above?

Let me make it simple for you- everyone, literally everyone gets a choice on how to refer to any political party. If someone wants to call the Democrats the Pedophile Party, that is a choice they have a right to make.

Of all the really stupid things you have written over the years, I think you may well have written the stupidest thing ever with that one.

Heartless Aztec said...

The Democrats have been Democratic in name only since the 1950s, annd probably earlier.

So like I said; you can do whatever you want. I simply won’t be part of that conversation. Proper usage doesn’t allow for that particular “choice,” within proper usage rules.

I have to say, excellent threadjacking by Chuck! It's almost as if he was doing it on a bet or something.

Althouse’s blog post contained the misused “Democrat.” Not by Althouse of course. She’s too smart, and too faithful to the art and science of proper English usage for that.

I actually wondered if Althouse had ever blogged the “Democrat Party” kerfuffle. It would be right in her blogging wheelhouse. I tried to search it and didn’t find anything but I wouldn’t be surprised if, back in the olden days of yore pre-Trump, she had written something about it.

I give him and maher credit for noticing the damage that the democrat party is doing to this country. Right now I seriously would not believe a word anyone from the federal government said, period.

To hell with him, to hell with him, to hell with him. Forever.

Ann Althouse said...

I will ask once again that you become conscious of the way Chuck introduces digressions and gets people to engage with him making that the topic instead of the topic in my post. I take care always to raise new issues whereas he brings in other issues without regard for the survival and well-being of this blog. Let him write his own blog, raising his issues and see how many people want to talk about it. He’s parasitIng off of my blog topics with issues I don’t think are worthy of active discussion. Why are you giving him this? Please wake up and stop it. Don’t be a pawn.

Meade said...

Okay. You’re probably right.

narciso said...

the cold and bitter truth, is if you are terrorist, like the ones that threw firebombs at nypd, if you are an aspiring terrorist like the columbia protesters, if you deliberated led to the death of tens of thousands, like cuomo, you have no risk of being prosecuted,

Bob Boyd said...

My problem with Maher here is that he only objects to this particular nakedly political prosecution of Trump because, in his opinion, the New York case wasn't a good case for that purpose. He doesn't seem to object to political prosecution itself, only to political prosecutions that are poorly conceived and executed.
I also suspect that "sex cases" make Maher queasy because he lives in a sexual glass house, so to speak.
I guess it's better than nothing. Anyway, Maher will vote for Biden or whoever the Dem candidate is no matter what.

robother said...

Maher and Cuomo are seemingly talking past each other: Maher is clearly describing the DA's criminal case conviction as the obvious injustice, whereas Cuomo appears to agree, but is saying the (civil) case brought by the AG is the case that was only brought for political reasons. I suppose that's intentional on Cuomo's part, he can parse that out later in a Democrat primary. (I refuse to go down Chuck's demon rathole.)

Yancey Ward said...

I am not going to apologize for slapping Chuck around, even if he likes it.

narciso said...

all of these cases are bogus, actually worse then that, they have corrupted the legitimate function of the courts, the money and man power that has been wasted that could have gone to getting some justice for people in the Big Rotten Apple,

Yancey Ward said...

In a proper world, Cuomo would be sued into penury, or hung from a lamppost, for what he did to nursing home patients and other people in New York state during the COVID nonsense. However, he wasn't alone in this- about half the governors in the country deserve the same.

Bob Boyd said...

Andrew Cuomo's sexual dwelling place is also very fragile indeed. He feels for Trump, I think. I wonder how many non-disclosure agreements Cuomo has in his filing cabinet.

Do you remember when it came out a few years ago that Congress has a dedicated fund of taxpayer dollars they use to secretly pay off women who sign non-disclosure agreements about the sexual misconduct of Congress members?
And yet, Trump is prosecuted.

Joe Smith said...

All this Cuomo had to do to be president someday was to not be a partisan hack.

To act like a democrat of old...blue collar values, lower taxes, reasonable curbs on immigration.

But no...he had to go full whacko like all democrats.

narciso said...

my memory about maher and the tea party, and its standard bearers, is quite keen, he gave a million dollars to Obama's pac in 2012, because reasons, yes i'm sure he was opposed to citizens united on principle, spit,

in the trump years, he was insistent we needed a recession a depression if possible to 'recover our democracy' gag, this is what democracy looks like, smell the glove,

he was perhaps the worst cad ever and whitmer were next up, considering it was an older cohort on balance, they knew what they were doing

Jupiter said...

Hmmm. Maher is talking about Alvin Bragg's shit-filled case. Cuomo is talking about Letitia James' shit-filled case. Neither one of them is wrong. And either one of those shit-filled persecutors can indict anyone in any of the fifty states, for any reason or none, and extradite them to stand trial and be convicted in the shit-filled kangaroo courts of New York. This country is so fucked.

Fair enough.

"We’re supposed to police ourselves."

Sounds kind of like what you get when you "defund the police". How's that working out, anyway?

JAORE said...

Bill M agrees the NY case should not have been brought.

Not, you understand, because of the fast and loose toyng with statute of limitations, the bootstrapping a Federal "crime" that the Feds would not bring. Not because the judge was hyper partisan,

Nope, The outrage is that Trump raise money.

Bill occasionally swallows the red pill, but quickly coughs it back up in a fur ball.

Richard Dolan said...

"What I hear him saying between the lines: I was the one with good sense, and you made me cede the ground to these clowns. Look what they've done. Don't you miss me?"

Yes, indeed. And it's where Cuomo and Trump are so similar. Both are awful at the personal level, which everyone knows. Yet, despite that, both can say with great force: "you made me cede the ground to these clowns. Look what they've done. Don't you miss me?" And the voters do miss them. In NY, Cuomo was able to control the the uber-lefty clowns in Albany, unlike our current governor who is a bad joke (NY's version of Kamala!) and they run circles around her. In DC, Team Biden is an even worse joke and people miss Team Trump for the same reason.

Gusty Winds said...

Cuomo didn't have good sense. He contaminated nursing homes in NYC and killed thousands of elderly people at the beginning of COVID. Are we sure it was an accident?

loudogblog said...

It's obvious that Cuomo is setting himself up for a big "I told you so!" moment if Trump gets elected.

None of the other prominent Democrat politicians, who could be considered for a 2028 run, have come out and said that this prosecution of Trump was a mistake. They've all embraced it.

Gusty Winds said...

Mahar even questioned the Fox News poll showing Biden now up by 2pts. He raffled off other polling numbers of Biden's loss of support among black voters under 50, Latinos, young people etc... How can Biden be leading?

Well Bill, the fix is probably in; again.

Oh, and Biden's support among women with college degrees in through the roof.

Gusty Winds said...

TV ads run in the Milwaukee Market, approved by Biden, using ALL the trials against Trump.

Much of the lawfare was done to create a label for Trump women disdain.

Mason G said...

"Both are awful at the personal level, which everyone knows."

I've never met Trump but I've read comments from people who say they have, and that they don't think he's awful.

Rabel said...

"That case the Attorney General's case in New York should have never been brought."

I think there was an implied, unspoken "and" after "case" in Cuomo's response. Which would make it a criticism of the political motives in both cases.

I'm sure Cuomo knows the difference between the AG's case and the DA's case.

Drago said...

Mason G: "This is not by any means a snarky reply since I don't know how blogger works, but if you're noticing him doing that, can't you delete them?"

Blogger does not make it technically viable and easy from a time/effort perspective to block a single or few people.

So Althouse/Meade made a decision to go with simply telling psycho Chuck he was banned...which Ive assumed was significantly based on years of Chuck's egregious and psychotic posting/rantings and stalkerish and harrassing DM's to Althouse.

Rabel said...

"Both are awful at the personal level, which everyone knows."

Bullshit.

Christopher B said...

I got the impression the disagreements between Trump and Cuomo as well as to a certain degree Trump and Newsom were, to use the oft-quoted phrase from the Godfather, 'just business.' Not that they were contrived but that they simply didn't have the personal animus that appears evident in, say, Nancy Pelosi's disagreements (a trait also exhibited by a number of commenters here). I'm pretty certain the manner of Cuomo's defenestration and replacement by an AWFL is also a likely influence on his thinking.

It would have to be a very different Democrat Party (FU Chuck) for Cuomo to have a shot at the 2028 nomination but who knows.

Vance said...

What I find interesting is that Chuck had zero to say on this topic, which was the admission that Democrats are actively seeking to put their political opponent in jail.

Despite Chuck's attempts to distract, it is an interesting question: Do Democrats even care anymore how it looks that they are trying to jail their political opponents.

It's to "Save Democracy!" by preventing people from voting for one side, after all.

This is a lot like the PRI in Mexico for most of the 20th century. "You can vote for whomever the Party nominates!"

Why is today's Democrat party pushing so hard for that?

William said...

I live in NYC. I can live with guys like Cuomo and Bloomberg. Consider the alternatives. Voters here routinely choose candidates like DeBlasio and James. Nitpickers here will say that Cuomo killed a few thousand nursing home patients, but we all have bad days. Cuomo is relatable. He's a recognizably human life form. That's not such a high bar, but here in NY not so many of our politicians pass it. I'd rather have Cuomo as Mayor than DeBlasio or whoever, and I hope he runs.

Achilles said...

Readering said...

Same could be said for Hunter prosecutions on both coasts.

The DOJ and the Delaware prosecutors tried to trick the court into giving Hunter immunity for everything else he did using these charges.

Hunter's fate was sealed when the Judge caught them trying to abuse the law.

Now completely dishonest people like Readering are saying "But Hunter" knowing full well they were caught.

You are just dishonest scum trying to justify your absolute and complete dishonesty and evil.

Mason G said...

They were cast out for a reason.

And now they are seeking retribution too.

Achilles said...

Chris Cuomo has been on the PBD Valutainment podcast several times and is probably looking to start a show again with them. He comes off as almost reasonable lately.

The Cuomo's are probably going to be in a place to pick up a lot of support after the Biden regime melts down. A lot of people on the left wont have anywhere else to go.

For people who have no real news sources now that Fox has capitulated you will probably like these guys.

Althouse is not a free speech freak. She bans people. You can ban an account based on an email.

Blogger just doesn't really offer the means to ban someone who wont go away voluntarily.

Chuck is a complete asshole and just makes a new account with a new email when she does that. Then he spams her with other vicious stalker emails to personal accounts.

Chuck is the object lesson that some people are incompatible with a free society. I appreciate that he does such a good job while he is here making everyone hate him, and the politics he supports.

One reason Chuck is flipping his shit on this thread is the Cuomo's are letting everyone know they are not with those other crazy people. Chuck realizes that he is in a small group of assholes that everyone hates.

Mr. D said...

Andrew Cuomo is on Andrew Cuomo’s side. He thinks he ought to run things.

Gospace said...

Chuck shows his disdain for The Constitution and particularly the First Amendment.

I can call any institution anything I want. When I refer to Wallyworld, Mickey D's, or for his particular bugaboo, DemoncRATs, most know exactly to whom I'm referring. And no one can stop me. Well, Ann can- but only on her blog...

To get to the blog topic- Richard Dolan is correct. Como had some influence on the demoncRaT run legislature.

Politics in NY is strange. I blame Reynolds vs Sims which found unwritten words in the Constitution that said states couldn't be set up the same way as the federal government because it violated the one man one vote provision that isn't there.

I recall reading in the Albany Times Union one year when the assembly, senate, and governor were squabbling over the budget that they had reached compromise that was satisfactory to all. Out here in real world compromise means they agreed on some number between the highest and lowest. In Bizzaro World inhabited by NY politicians, the compromise was to fund everything and the resulting approved budget was substantially higher than any of the 3 proposals.

Big Mike said...

Is this just hindsight? What was Cuomo saying in public before Trump raised millions of dollars and Biden started dropping eo precipitously in the polls after the verdict was in?

Drago said...

Mason G: "The Republicans aren't much different. They (the GOPe faction, anyway) clearly don't like Trump and would very much like to substitute a different candidate- one that they will choose for you."

Correct.

In fact, on this very blog, highly educated and experienced Douglas Levene (and frankly, points for honesty despite zero points for point of view), a clear republican, stated explicitly that he would prefer having party insiders go into a smoke-filled room and select the party nominee.

Can you imagine an array of McConnells and Ryans selecting the nominee every year?

Of course, prior to Trump (with the exceptions of Reagan and possibly Goldwater), thats sort of how it did work.

Drago said...

Cuomo has zero to lose and nothing but upside potential in shuffling over to the Trump side...ever so gently based on polls etc and to "get right" with the populists now that he has been hit from the left.

If it doesnt work, he's still in tbe same place.

To hell with him, to hell with him, to hell with him. Forever.

@mikee, if Cuomo really did kill the most elderly nursing home residents, it wasn’t as though he didn’t have ample competition from the likes of Whitmer in Michigan, Murphy in New Jersey, and Wolf in Pennsylvania. There were probably other governors whose administrations issued “must admit” orders to nursing homes and elder care facilities with respect to COVID-19 patients, but I think these four were the most egregious. Where I disagree with you, mikee, is that they weren’t just trying to avoid making Trump look good — they wanted to run up the death toll to actively make Trump’s administration look bad, and they didn’t care how many innocent bystanders they had to kill to do it.

Cuomo is right, of course. But it would have been more meaningful if he said it months ago. How valuable is an “I told you so” when the telling was delivered after the fact?

Former Illinois resident said...

New Yorkers sorely miss NY 2019. Cuomo could get reelected via collective nostalgia for a better, safer, more prosperous time. NYC, NY state, tough times. Go view the Judge Judy clip next.

Steve said...

Here’s my conspiracy theory. Cumo sent all the elderly back to their nursing homes, when completely u used federal resources were available. Remember the Navy Hospital Ship Comfort and the Army National Guard tent hospital. They sat idle because Cumo didn’t want to give a “win” to Trump for helping with the crisis. If my mom was dead I’d be pretty pissed about that. Discovery in my suit would be very informative.

She sent the prosecutor back to the drawing board and by then it was too late to cover things up. Hunter had to be thrown under the bus for charges that can’t be linked back to Joe. They’re hoping the tax issues can be covered up. That’s where Joe is in peril.

It was most definitely the case, Steve- the judge only wanted it publicly clarified that the plea deal did not give Hunter Biden immunity on the rest of the charges, which the prosecution reluctantly agreed that it didn't- that part of the immunity was an unwritten agreement between the two parties. The judge upset things by making the prosecutors declare yea or nay on the immunity on the other charges. The judge might have rejected the plea deal had Hunter Biden and legal team right then and there agreed to the plea deal without immunity on the other charges attaching but she surely would have been overturned on appeal and there is nothing she can do to make the government indict and try someone.

The Bidens fucked it up by thinking no jury in Delaware would convict Hunter- a bet I would have made, too, by the way- but they and I were wrong. I think part of the calculation was that they were afraid that the judge might disregard the recommendations for leniency and give Hunter the max allowed by the law for the gun charges.

Without his ouster from office - wouldn’t Democrats have rallied behind a Biden/Cuomo ticket for 2024?

Too white too male.

It just occurred to me that maybe part of the vitriol against Trump is that if your opponent really is Worse Than Hitler™, you're justified in taking any measures necessary to defeat him. (That's not the new thing. We all knew that part before. The new thing that occurred to me was:)

Even if it means you have to bypass a queer woman of color or a BIPOC trans person or whatever.

Basically I'm wondering whether every single person who declares that Diversity Is Our Strength!™ is just giving lip service to that idea - that they all know that when push comes to shove, when, say, your opponent is Literally Hitler™, you have to go with performance.

(Not just merit. Sowell dispenses with that idea: merit="worth," which is still subjective. Performance is an actual metric.)

For the children!

Jamie, that’s a good point. Defeating Hitler trumps principles.

The only people I've ever heard whine about using "Democrat" instead of "Democratic", as if it's a huge insult, are members of the Democrat Party.

I'm wondering if the Democrat Party is going to try and revive Cuomo to replace Biden.

It seems exceptionally easy to say "Well, this is a bad thing" after it already happened.

Where was Maher during the trial? Cuomo? Did they say anything while the trial was ongoing?

And for the mention of Hunter: His father's DoJ tried to give him a laughably generous plea deal AND allowed his most serious offenses fall off due to statute of limitations, so they are doing the minimum to attempt to claim justice is being done.
