    It looks to me like Cuomo is being set up to be a front-runner for 2024 DNC presidential nomination. The media is already coating him with Teflon.

    The guy who sent thousands of Covid patients into nursing homes, ensuring widespread infection and death among the most vulnerable, is getting an Emmy for "keeping New Yorkers calm by utilizing media". That's pretty twisted.

    So his decision killed a bunch of New Yorkers, but hey, the man looks good on television! LOL

    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to soon receive an International Emmy award for his once-daily televised briefings on the coronavirus pandemic that killed tens of thousands of New Yorkers this spring.

    Just when I think the Democrats can't top crazy they manage to do something even more bizarre. An Emmy....for news briefings in a pandemic.... the guy's a buffoon but that's beside the point...please tell me this is a hoax....this has to be the pinnacle of shallowness...rather the filthiest deepest pit of shallowness

    This ranks pretty close to Obama winning a Nobel Peace prize for nothing more than being black while President.

    It's like a satirical comedy against seriousness.

    The public needed a voice of reason when this first all went down. With NYC having so many cases, he is the one who showed true leadership.
    Our outgoing president was a reality TV star, so what is the problem? :nana:

    True leadership: And the Emmy goes to the governor who killed the most citizens, but brought calm to the world through the magic of television. All those New Yorkers who are no longer with us are pretty darned calm right now, that's for sure. So there is that.

    .....and the crowd goes wild!

    Covid killed the citizens, how many people live in Manhatten 8 or 9 million? Decisions are made and half the people are pissed...it always works that way.

    It's essentially a Boys club.

    The media protects their liberal politicians who in turn protect them.

    They essentially run the nation now. Trump was conservatisms last grasp at power and we saw how they destroyed that on all levels. With their new voting software and the tens of millions of illegals they are going to bring in that is game set and match.

    We will be ruled from one party from now on so remember that they are now keeping lists of their enemies.

    If you are a conservative or a Christian and you want to avoid their camps it is time to keep your head down, hide your American flags, and stay silent. Anyone you know could turn you in as an enemy of the state.

    Now I'm hearing that Andrew Cuomo beat Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, and The Nightstalker to win the Emmy in the Best Serial Killer category. :D

    Or just stop being a racist, misogynist, bigot, partisan hack. Trying to bargain in good faith and compromising would help as well. Of course, Dirty Donnie is MUCH too smart to try anything like this.
    Now that he’s gone off the deep end, the only thing to do is complete his destruction.

    There is, of course, hope for people like you.

    Laughing at how much good faith and compromise was contained in that post. We can all feel the love! :icon_picknose:

    But back to the main topic:

    Given the original post to which I was replying, my tone was equivalent and appropriate.

    As for your “main topic”, please cite any murder convictions or other EVIDENCE to support your “main topic”.

    Don’t have any, you say ? What a shock !

    But, when all is said and done, Trump will wind up killing a few hundred thousand more.

    So odd that my Christian friends go to church and vote just fine.

    And my American Flag remains in good shape in the sun each day, so far no one has came by to take my Flag and move me to a re-education camps.

    The only threats I have seen has been your Promise Keepers and the others promising violent keeling, attacks, and wholesale slaughter for anyone who doesn't support Trump and his Republicans, despite not succeeding any of his own election lawsuits.

    the truth about the nursing home issues

    "The Trump Administration’s Deregulation of Nursing Homes Leaves Seniors and Disabled at Higher Risk for COVID-19"

    https://www.americanprogress.org/is...leaves-seniors-disabled-higher-risk-covid-19/

    "Why are nursing homes being hit so hard by the outbreak? One reason is that they are a target of the Trump administration’s aggressive deregulation agenda."

    "In response, the nursing home lobby again advocated for less oversight, and in July 2019, the Trump administration proposed new rules relaxing the requirements tied to infection control. It suggested that consultants could be used, instead of requiring infection specialists to be employed at the site, at minimum, on a part-time basis. This meant that there was no longer a requirement for a full-time, hands-on expert in infection contamination on-site."

    the reality is, Nursing Homes should have separated infected people, they failed to do this, hospitals could not give up a bed for everyone that showed no symptoms and tested positive, not enough beds

    Nothing will change. If people don't know by now to social distance, wash their hands, and (maybe) wear a mask if they can't social distance, then they are never going to know. So, individuals control "the curve", not government. We always have since we got the information last spring. Nothing is ever going to keep the younger generation from socializing at legal or illegal house parties or street protests, since they are pretty much invincible. Even older adults will assess the personal risk of getting the virus and the personal risk of transmitting to others and make their own decisions.

    A change of presidential administration won't impact that, except for talking down to citizens as if we are not capable of independent decision-making. Treatments/vaccines are on the way this year anyway, so Biden is walking into the tail end of the plandemic.

    (Also, this thread is about Killer Cuomo winning an Emmy. Not everything is about Trump to everyone, every time. lol)

    And probably 'ol Joe will get a Nobel Prize in medicine. Also I can just imagine the withdrawal agonies some folks here are gonna go through when Trumps gone, like what meaning will their lives have without Trump to obsess about 24/7?

    I expect Trump derangement will continue the next four years, since the media has nothing else to cling to, and they have marching orders not to criticize Biden in any way. Dissecting the "evils of Trumpism" will occupy the left for the next four years just like it has for the last four. Left-wing media will ensure that.

    People on Twitter, who aren't thinking this is a dumb joke, are applauding Cuomo getting the Emmy "because it will make Trump mad that he isn't getting one." TDS. It probably is true, however, that Trump is likely to see this as another media/entertainment personal dig at Trump more than a deserved "reward" to Cuomo. It probably is.

    From International Business Times: "The Surprising Reason Andrew Cuomo is Getting an Emmy Award"

    “The governor’s 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure,” International Academy President and Chief Executive Officer Bruce L. Paisner said. “People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back.”
    https://www.ibtimes.com/surprising-...=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1605983143

    So the irony here is that Trump also held widely-watched daily Covid Task Force breifings, but rather than having "characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure", Trump only had epidemiologists and other medical scientists (Fauci, Birx, et.al.) as well as operations experts who were actually getting things like PPE, ventilators, a medical ship to New York, and people talking about fast-tracking treatments and vaccines.

    What a sham.
