@gjohnsit Brett Kavanaugh demonstrably lied to Congress several times--crickets. Call me old-fashioned, but once upon a time perjury was a crime and committing perjury would have been an automatic disqualifier for any judicial office. Now not so much. However, allegations of teenage groping surface (almost certainly true allegations Kavanaugh is obviously an ass) and the Dems can raise money off that so that becomes a matter of the gravest importance, worthy of full congressional kibuki theater before he, inevitably, but after much posturing, is approved.

Not to excuse sexual harassment, but the man killed thousands of old people and covered it up.

And no one gives a sh*t!

Somehow killing thousands of old people isn't nearly as important as fondling a few breasts. Just how f*cked up are we as a nation?

This article shows how long the corruption and bullying went on. Attorneys in Obama’s WH were well aware of it but said nothing until now. But others knew about it and helped cover it up.

Worth a read.

This got buried during Obama’s vaulted presidency.

Cuomo resigning is great news. Reading this, you have to think he should have been removed from office many years ago. Thanks to the Obama team for speaking out years after the fact, when it barely mattered https://t.co/l8l9TL1Ww2

A call to the Obama White House that some legal experts say is impeachable fits a pattern of the Governor smearing those who scrutinize him.

In April, 2014, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo placed a call to the White House and reached Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama. Cuomo was, as one official put it, “ranting and raving.” He had announced that he was shuttering the Moreland Commission, a group that he had convened less than a year earlier to root out corruption in New York politics. After Cuomo ended the group’s inquiries, Preet Bharara, then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, issued letters instructing commissioners to preserve documents and had investigators from his office interview key witnesses. On the phone with Jarrett, Cuomo railed against Bharara. “This guy’s out of control,” a member of the White House legal team briefed on the call that day recalled Cuomo telling Jarrett. “He’s your guy.”
…..
Cuomo’s outreach to the White House may have opened him up to sanction for violating state ethics rules and could be relevant in an ongoing impeachment inquiry by the New York State Assembly. “It’s highly inappropriate and potentially illegal,” Jennifer Rodgers, a former prosecutor in Bharara’s office and an adjunct clinical professor at N.Y.U. Law School, told me. Jessica Levinson, the director of Loyola Law School’s Public Service Institute, added, “If he, in fact, called a U.S. Attorney’s bosses and implied, ‘Stop this guy from looking into me,’ that could easily amount to an impeachable offense.” (Shortly after publication time, Cuomo announced that he would resign as governor of New York.)
….
Long before Cuomo’s efforts to discredit reports that he had sexually harassed women, he repeatedly interfered in another state probe that threatened him, the Moreland Commission. “Every single thing I’ve seen in the past couple of months was foreshadowed,” Danya Perry, a former federal prosecutor who served as the Moreland Commission’s chief of investigations, told me, in her first on-the-record comments about her work on the panel. The commission began with a sweeping mandate from Cuomo to probe systemic corruption in political campaigns and state government. However, interviews with a dozen former officials with ties to the commission, along with hundreds of pages of internal documents, text messages, and personal notes obtained by The New Yorker, reveal that Cuomo and his team used increasingly heavy-handed tactics to limit inquiries that might implicate him or his allies. “He did not want an investigation into his own dark-money contributions,” Perry recalled. “He was pulling back subpoenas that were gonna go to friends and supporters of his—it was just really unbelievable,” Kathleen Rice, a U.S. representative from Long Island who served as one of the commission’s co-chairs, added.

Andrew has long been a naughty boy and he shouldn’t escape justice for the nursing home scandal or anything else he’s done just because he’s stepping down. When the rich and powerful escape justice it makes a mockery of the rule of law.

Funny thing…Apple has decided that it’s never heard of Cuomo anymore. Each time I write his name it gives me Chomsky.

@snoopydawg and now we have Joementia, the prez w/dementia who can do no wrong.

The dark side is prevailing, or in it's last stand?

This is quite the supercut https://t.co/g5xWjl4wbD

Quite nauseating actually. Meanwhile thousands of elderly had already died because of his decision not to use the navy ship that Trump sent him to use.
