I see they’re having a good time but did they really get themselves clean? Hmm.
People have too few crises to manage if they’re focusing on this. It was cringey, but other than that, no big deal.
Attendees? This was a performance, not simply a celebration amongst "attendees"
If I’m being encouraged to consider and equivalence between this and the Trump campaign…campaign, I reject the equivalence. This is lipstick on a pig…
…and I can’t see anywhere- who are those people? A geriatric dance troop or New York legislators?
A bunch of old people doing choreographed dancing looks so awkward, doubly so for the old white person. Why didn't they have high school kids up there? Not undignified enough?
The carcass of New York's economy and government will provide ample entertainment and sustenance for its many parasites for decades to come. Yippee!
Nobody believes that you have to focus on the most important thing all the time. Nobody.
This is a state of the state address--a government event staged using taxpayer money to fulfill a public purpose.
"A bunch of old people doing choreographed dancing looks so awkward, doubly so for the old white person. "
Speak for yourself, Grandpa. And btw, its not a black and white world anymore. Plenty of hispanic, brown, and yellow Asians. Where do they rank in your "cant dance" ranking?
Why shouldn't they celebrate? As if the Dumb Democrat voters will ever vote them out. LOL.
Just keep standing by Israel, support unlimited abortion, open borders, and shovel money out to special interests, and they can stay in office forever. So, dance happy.
i LOVE how they have No talent or rhythm!
Haven't seen such incompetent dancing since Time Walz tried it
If a criminal alien from Guatemala had set fire to that athymic chorus line comprised of more left feet than right... then we'd have a real State of the State summation.
Democrats are the party of... dance, sing, JOY! Stories, Hollywood.
Certainly dems are no longer worth a damn in the arena of serious and honest governing; placing the people first. They are a giant DEI vanity project.
Fail.
AI is insane, isn't it?
I haven't been interested in visiting New York for stuff like a Broadway show because of the crime. Now I have less interest due to the quality of show they seem capable of performing.
looked like the dancing that goes on at a wedding reception when those who can't dance have had enough to drink and head out onto the floor
What the hell???
I'm annoyed that the Professor teased "YMCA" but didn't deliver! My trust has been shaken
Feels forced and doesn't have the spontaneous energy as the ridiculous, but fun Trump white guy dance.
Interesting. Not a single White Man on stage.
The remark of Samuel Johnson about a dog dancing on its hind legs was never more apropos......They were actually pretty good. Their moves demonstrated the practice and hard work that went into perfecting the routine. If there's ever a dance off between them and other state legislators, I'm sure they would be contenders.
We voted for Trump three times. After this, my wife said she would now vote for Cuomo.
Any of the three.
The recent revelation of abuse and murder by the personnel at Marcy Correctional Facility in upstate NY should be a bigger concern than an over-40 dance troupe.
I don't know that I've see a story buried as quickly as that one was.
NY state Government should just hang out a sign: White men need not apply. Lets See: Female Governor. NY Sec of state, Lt Governor, NY State AG, NY Speaker of House, NY state head of Senate, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals = all black.
My first thought: 'nurses dancing in Covid-19 hospital wards' vibes.
Performative, the dance!
I'm feeling very confused. Is this traditional in New York? I mean, it's fine, if so, far be it from me to diss other people's traditions, but this is the first I've heard of it, for sure.
I also wonder if it's AI, which goes to the Musk(?) comment that they promised us flying cars and instead we got 140 characters.
Women and minorities hardest hit.
Meade, do you mean liberals, New Yorkers or the Village People?
Shades of Al Gore doing tha Macarena!
What's the story about this? These aren't dance professionals.... are they appointed government officials, or elected ones? What was the purpose behind this lame production?
"a moment of celebration was captured where attendees were seen dancing and clapping..." Attendees? Just happened to wear the same suits and intuited the same choreography? I'm betting they're government employees, celebrating their awesomeness.
The chick or fella with the straight blond hair -- Is that Randy Weingarten?
For Democrats, dancing nurses are a permanent feature. It has been very successful for them.
Darla and Alfalfa say, hey kids! Let’s clean out the old barn and put on a show!
Does no one here have a search engine available?
"This dance group consists of men and women over the age of 40 who want to share their love of performance with the New York Liberty crowd!
The Timeless Torches made their debut in 2005 and have been a Liberty staple ever since! Aside from energizing the crowd when they hit the court and appearing at events around the city, the Timeless Torches have been showing their Liberty spirit to a national audience through performances and guest appearances. You may have seen them on hit TV shows such as ABC’s The Chew, Good Morning America, NBC’s 30 Rock, and a number of network morning shows. The Timeless Torches have also represented New York by performing at WNBA All-Star Games in 2006, 2007, and 2009 as well as the 2015 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in New York City."

Exactly.
Looking at all the performances listed I assume the actual state of the state address was considered the half time show.
Yeah, in the big scheme of things not a huge deal, or expense. But you can go broke throwing away nickles - especially if you have a LOT of helpers.
Gosh I'm glad I don't live in NY!
