After that, NY hid the numbers of Covid deaths in said nursing homes. The cherry on top was behind-the-scenes deals being cut to shield Nursing Home owners from liability. It was shady as hell but it didn't get much notice, since folks were too busy applauding him. Only now, after his departure, are folks really starting to look into the "Shady backroom" aspects of his policies.

Cuomo is soooooo North Shore Chicago Aug 2021 #1

Was the accusation confirmed? live love laugh Aug 2021 #2

Exactly how can that be confirmed? milestogo Aug 2021 #3

If it's not confirmed it doesn't mean he did do it either. live love laugh Aug 2021 #4

The Puritans required 2 witnesses to convict for rape. Maybe that would work. Scrivener7 Aug 2021 #6

I think you stumbled into the wrong forum. n/t Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #69

Why? live love laugh Aug 2021 #75

My question is regarding why I'm assumed to be in the wrong forum. nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #82

Where is what you explained not being done? Who's not taking this seriously? nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #84

Actually, I replied to the wrong post, my apologies. Nexus2 Aug 2021 #88

The attitude you are expressing is right out of the 70s, and earlier - Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #83

I never said there had to be witnesses. nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #85

I'm not going to play games about sexual harassment, assault, or rape. n/t Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #86

Have you listened to or read all of wnylib Aug 2021 #112

Could have answered with "yes" the accusation was confirmed treestar Aug 2021 #114

So what is required to prove it? treestar Aug 2021 #113

Confirmed... EYESORE 9001 Aug 2021 #22

Having been groped myself... Rorey Aug 2021 #11

👍 Walleye Aug 2021 #17

People wonder why more women don't come forward and tell - this Cuomo situation is another example PoliticAverse Aug 2021 #40

Yup Rorey Aug 2021 #62

Looks like the reports are valid about Cuomo PufPuf23 Aug 2021 #73

Why shouldn't an accusation of anything have to be confirmed? treestar Aug 2021 #115

Yes. He resigned. 50 Shades Of Blue Aug 2021 #16

Resigning does not confirm this specific act. nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #21

What WOULD confirm it, in your opinion? NT Rorey Aug 2021 #33

Al Franken resigned... CrackityJones75 Aug 2021 #39

I agree Rorey Aug 2021 #61

The thing is. CrackityJones75 Aug 2021 #72

So the accusation alone is enough? treestar Aug 2021 #116

Did I say that? Rorey Aug 2021 #120

Then what would confirm it, in your opinion? treestar Aug 2021 #121

Assumptions Rorey Aug 2021 #123

Doesn't mean that Cuomo did it treestar Aug 2021 #124

I'm sure we don't know as much as Leticia James now knows Rorey Aug 2021 #126

I do not think my posts are that abrasive treestar Aug 2021 #127

It would if he were Republican though. 50 Shades Of Blue Aug 2021 #52

Huh? 🙃 live love laugh Aug 2021 #54

Right. 50 Shades Of Blue Aug 2021 #56

Right what? Your statement that it would fly if he were Republican is alarming. live love laugh Aug 2021 #80

Crickets to 43 accusers...right indeed. nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #109

That's not it treestar Aug 2021 #117

To be fair, he resigned when faced with the prospect that he would be impeached and removed. I don't OnDoutside Aug 2021 #103

No it wasn't, he denied that Meowmee Aug 2021 #74

IIRC, they were witnessed and/or corroborated by contemporaneous communications. [nt] Nexus2 Aug 2021 #79

What was confirmed was that several of his staffers were watching Cuomo on TV pnwmom Aug 2021 #97

I think you may have meant to ask whether the accusation was proven, rather than confirmed. OnDoutside Aug 2021 #104

Thanks maybe it's the word choice. nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #110

Now, now. I was told yesterday by a DUer that this is really just unfair to men because Scrivener7 Aug 2021 #5

Us women-folk don't know nothin' Rorey Aug 2021 #13

Well, what was it, a dozen women? They don't ACTUALLY know if they were groped. Scrivener7 Aug 2021 #19

Yep, back in the day they actually thought it was sort of a compliment Rorey Aug 2021 #30

Right? I told him what to do with himself, but someone else alerted and now it's gone, thank God. Scrivener7 Aug 2021 #15

Shaking my head. MLAA Aug 2021 #12

And for good measure don't take a selfie with the guy you are accusing sexual harassment n/t DiamondShark Aug 2021 #92

Oh see but you're listening to women. That's where the confusion is. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #18

Males apparently have a different set of rules. Irish_Dem Aug 2021 #23

It was never OK, but there often were no consequences Walleye Aug 2021 #20

Right, even if a woman reported the behavior, nothing would be done. Irish_Dem Aug 2021 #24

Exactly. The consequences for the women are often worse than for the male perpetrator Walleye Aug 2021 #29

Yes it was humiliating to talk about it. And the woman would be blamed or called a liar. Irish_Dem Aug 2021 #31

The only debate we ever had about this is whether it was morally correct to MaryMagdaline Aug 2021 #35

Simple rule for men in power.Treat your female colleagues as if they were your mother or your sister Walleye Aug 2021 #32

This is the problem BeerBarrelPolka Aug 2021 #41

Obviously. It depends on the intent. And don't think women can't tell what that is Walleye Aug 2021 #42

Do you sing love songs to her on the phone? Ask her if she's slept with older men? Phentex Aug 2021 #48

You see this as a problem. Those were your words. It's not. Phentex Aug 2021 #55

Yup that's exactly it and ironically Raine Aug 2021 #71

I agree. CentralMass Aug 2021 #51

How was he too conservative? Polybius Aug 2021 #64

I'm curious also. I don't know his record but he did a stellar job protecting NYC. nt live love laugh Aug 2021 #76
