My Governor (and yours)

A quick tip of the hat to the governor of New York.
Since he first ran for the office a decade ago, I have cast my ballot for Andrew Cuomo. The first time was one of the easiest calls I ever made. His opponent in that contest (whose name escapes me) seemed like he was about to explode at any second. I have consistently voted for him three times and, if he is again on the ballot in 2022, I'll vote for him again. Although I've disagreed with some of his policies and decisions, I have always thought him to be a fairly decent governor. Recently, however, my admiration for him has gone up several notches. We here in New York are blessed to have him in Albany.
Watching his daily news conferences on YouTube are instructive as to why progressive form of governance is so preferable to conservative. Just look around the country. Most of the right wing governors are content to reopen their states and let things work themselves out. It's attitudes like these that are certain to make this international catastrophe metastasize. It's progressives like Andy Cuomo who are hands on workers, trying to stay on top of things in order to keep numbers down and trying to make this go away. Comparing him to, say, the governor of Mississippi is like comparing Shakespeare to your average Harlequin romance novel. If Hillary Clinton had been elected four years ago, we would not be at the level of mess we find ourselves at today, I'm convinced of that. When this is over, most Americans will be progressives. Of that I am also convinced. If American people don't learn their lesson from this, they never will.
Governor Cuomo's daily press briefings should be watched by all Americans. If you're relying on Donald Trump for your information you're doomed. Cuomo's conferences can be viewed every morning streaming live on YouTube and are highly recommended. He usually comes on late every morning at roughly 11:30 AM. Trump will only keep us all stupid and make a lot of us dead.
As they've done most every presidential primary season for the last fifty-two years, the Democratic voters of this country have made a huge mistake in their nominee - or in this case "presumptive nomine". I love Joe Biden but I'm not sure that he's up to the job. I hope I'm wrong on that score. But there is now serious talk among some Democrats about replacing him on the ticket with Governor Cuomo. The guv has made if clear that he would not be able to abandon his post to pursue higher office at a time like this. That's integrity, baby! Matilda and Mario Cuomo raised that kid right.

We're talking essential viewing, folks. We ignore this man to our own peril. He's the best governor we've had since FDR.

Not my Mayor, not my Gov, not my State, thank God.
Tearful Nurse Blows Whistle on New York Hospitals ‘Murdering’ COVID Patients With ‘Complete Medical Mismanagement’
A Nevada nurse who travelled to New York to help treat COVID-19 patients has posted a tearful Facebook Live video claiming that patients are not dying from the virus, but are being “murdered” by “gross negligence and complete medical mismanagement.”
Nicole Sirotek, a nurse from Elko, Nevada, was assigned to two different hospitals in New York City.
“I am literally telling you that they are murdering these people,” Sirotek says in the terrifying video.
The video begins with Sirotek explaining that every time she attempts to advocate on behalf of one of her patients, management takes them away and reassigns her to another unit. She said that this happened at both of the hospitals she has worked at in the city. “I legitimately don’t even know what to do anymore. Even advocacy groups don’t give a sh-t about these people,” she said. “Black lives don’t matter here.”
“Nobody is listening. They don’t care what is happening to these people. They don’t. I’m literally coming here every day and watching them kill them,” she said.
