The Rude Pundit: Andrew Cuomo Fucks Mitch McConnell's Shit Up

Andrew Cuomo Fucks Mitch McConnell's Shit Up


It's something that doesn't get said much, but all those red states, all those states with their MAGA citizens looking down at the northeastern libtards who want immigrants but not guns, whose schools teach science and actual history, who elect Democrats, fer chrissakes, yeah, those states pretty much fucking stay in existence because of the northeast. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts are carrying your asses because of the tax revenue generated up here. You should be kissing our feet and thanking God or whatever that we live in a nation that includes our states and you're not on your own.

But it took New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to remind us of that fact this past week in another of his moments where he looked at his bucket of fucks and found it completely empty.
Unprompted, Cuomo responded to Senate Majority Leader and Man Who Perpetually Looks Like a Little Boy Who Saw a Vagina for the First Time Mitch McConnell saying that the states should be able to declare bankruptcy and that any help to states during this coronavirus crisis is "a blue-state bailout." Cuomo went after that bespectacled, evil tortoise/human hybrid like a street fighter who decided to make an example out of the wannabe tough guy who pinched his girl's ass.

By name, Cuomo called out McConnell at his Thursday press briefing, saying, "Senator Mitch McConnell goes out and he says, 'Maybe the states should declare bankruptcy.' Okay. This is one of the really dumb ideas of all time." He compared the willingness to help fund airlines to the unwillingness to fund state and local governments, before threatening, "And then to suggest we’re concerned about the economy, states should declare bankruptcy. That’s how you’re going to bring this national economy back? By states declaring bankruptcy? You want to see that market fall through the cellar? Let New York state declare bankruptcy. Let Michigan declare bankruptcy. Let Illinois declare bankruptcy. Let California declare bankruptcy. You will see a collapse of this national economy. So just dumb."

Cuomo was just getting wound up when he went after McConnell's blatant, even joyous cruelty: "Vicious is saying, when Senator McConnell said, this is a 'blue state bailout,' what he’s saying is if you look at the states that have coronavirus problems, they tend to be Democratic states...So if you fund states that are suffering from the coronavirus, the Democratic states, don’t help New York state because it is a Democratic state. How ugly a thought."

He seemed to have moved on, but in the middle of answering another question, Cuomo decided he wasn't done with McConnell. It was like Cuomo had put McConnell on the ground in the filthy alley behind the bar, but that wasn't enough. Now it was time for stomping his ass: "Let me just go back to my self-proclaimed Grim Reaper, Senator McConnell, for another second. He represents the state of Kentucky. Okay? When it comes to fairness, New York state puts much more money into the federal pot than it takes out. Okay? At the end of the year, we put into that federal pot $116 billion more than we take out. Okay? His state, the state of Kentucky, takes out 148 billion more than they put in. Okay? So he’s a federal legislator. He’s distributing the federal pot of money. New York puts in more money to the federal pot than it takes out. His state takes out more than it puts in. Senator McConnell, who’s getting bailed out here? It’s your state that is living on the money that we generate. Your state is getting bailed out. Not my state." Facts fuck shit up. Ask anyone who tries to defy facts. They will fuck your shit up every time, so much so that you just have to pretend that facts don't exist and hope no one finds out. Cuomo put it out there: red states like Kentucky are getting by only because of the blue state largesse.

Honestly, though, even more cutting was when a reporter asked Cuomo if he had been in touch with McConnell. "No," Cuomo answered. Was he planning on calling McConnell? "No," Cuomo answered and moved on. That's a "Fuck me? No, fuck you" moment.

Cuomo was sick of this shit, of all the shit, and he went at McConnell again on Friday, except this time he tossed the entire GOP in DC into the toilet. Talking about how a federal law would be needed to allow states to declare bankruptcy, Cuomo said, "It’s your suggestion, Senator McConnell. Pass the law. I dare you. And then go to the President and say, 'Sign this bill allowing states to declare bankruptcy.' You want to send a signal to the markets that this nation is in real trouble? You want to send an international message that the economy is in turmoil? Do that. Allow states to declare bankruptcy legally, because you passed the bill. It’ll be the first time in our nation’s history that that happened. I dare you to do that...if you believe what you said and you have the courage of conviction because you’re a man of your word, pass that bill, if you weren’t just playing politics." He may as well have punctuated that with "you pussy."

NJ sends $30B a year to the Feds for socialist distribution to the RED STATES.

That's more than it's yearly state budget. Yet when we needed help with Sandy, Republicans balked.

Meanwhile. NJ almost always is one of the first states to approve disaster funding to those RED STATE TAKERS.


Coumo was right calling McConnell a taker. We need to be very vocal that the 9 of the Top 10 takers are Republican states.

would love to see Governor Cuomo run against Trump in the Presidential race. Imagine a Trump/Cuomo debate. Cuomo for sure could run a race all about what a really bad President has been and how it has harmed this country and the American people.

But he will standby his state and his people and not abandon them in their hour of need which is the right thing for New York. He definitely has a chance in the Presidential sweepstakes should he decide to run someday down the road.

to keep more of their money, for infrastructure? Since nobody in DC is willing to spend on this, why not take matters into our own hands? So Moscow Mitch thinks bankruptcy is the answer? Well, it seems to have worked for tRump - SIX TIMES. He still claims that he is a billionaire!! Maybe he can give states advice on how to declare bankruptcy, but keep your assets intact?

Just stop it.

You think "the right" is not going to harp on some lying theme or other about whoever our candidate is? According to them, Hillary is dead and buried at least 5 years ago.

It is YOUR responsibility to call out GOP lies, not roll over and give them credence.

And we did that in 2016 as well. In both instances the Democratic voters of the country chose our candidate.

People complain about "the powers to be inside the Democratic establishment" (whatever that is) making decisions, and now that we have a candidate that the PEOPLE chose overwhelmingly some are complaining about the "Democratic establishment" NOT making the choice?

Lock him up.

If the Senate doesn't change from red to blue, no Dem President can do anything. Vote Blue all down ticket. Not just for Pres/VP and f-all the rest (don't know their names) like too many do.

Presidency+House+Senate Blue is essential.

Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee of the party and that is not going to change. Attacking Joe only helps trump. Joe is the best candidate to beat trump in the real world

The best thing that we can do is nominate Joe and defeat trump. Attacking our nominee will not help defeat trump

Russia has been pushing these attacks on Joe Biden because Putin fears Joe Biden. In the real world, Joe Biden is the strongest possible candidate and has the best chance of beating trump. That is why Russia is pushing hard for the Democratic Party to replace Biden.

When I got my Covid payment from the federal government, I gladly sent some of that money to Amy McGrath’s campaign to unseat Yertle McTurtle. Feel free to do likewise. Whatever you can afford. We simply cannot afford his re-election!
