demanding they resign? Knowing it is futile? But it should still be done every day.

We also have people in other places who smear the people in high places who demand they resign, who say that we can't hold them to account because its a sign of political weakness.

Maybe it is futile. But you are right - It should be done. And thank god that we have people in our party willing to do it.

Yes, plus if the GQP are allowed to steal another election thanks to the person in West Virginia and the fool in Arizona because they're in love with the filibuster, the House and Senate, we're done, because there will be a One-party rule. So much for honor and such, especially when you're sitting across from a hungry snake in the GQP. I mean, African-Americans (especially black women) are always loyal to Dems, yet are being allowed to get shat on by two folks who lean WAY right, and who don't care of our democracy dies a slow death like the GQP wants it to.

The Al Franken fiasco was horrible, he didn't even touch that woman, and she is no saint.

But I say that Cuomo should resign right after Gaetz, Brett Kavanaugh, Madison Cawthorn, Ronny Jackson, Gym Jordan and many others from the republican party resign.

Let's stop the hypocrisy, we are going to hear from many republicans asking for Cuomo's resignation while being very quiet about their own. That is how Al Franken was ousted, and for much less.

I have such a lack of confidence in the evil ways of republicans that I never doubt a conspiracy to tarnish a Democrat by them.

Call me crazy, but I still think that the Monica Lewinsky episode was planned. I read the Ken Starr report (an immoral SOB himself) and found that Lewinski stalked Clinton, she was after him, that Clinton avoided her a few times but she was just after him, and the fact that it was consensual sex between two adults, no matter where it happened, that the Impeachment process was presided by people who themselves where having affairs at the time (remember Livingston??), and others, makes this another one of the republican hypocritical adventures.

Enough with being so moral when the other party just laughs at it when they succeed while allowing their people, many of them, go untouched.

No, i say Cuomo should resign when all the perverts of the republican party do so as well.

I read your post after I had already posted, .............I agree with your thoughts 100%. I especially like your last phrase, "I say Cuomo should resign when all the perverts of the republican party do as well!!! Brilliant.........Bill Clinton was brilliant and the republicans couldn't stand it. They did every thing they could do to destroy him and make him look bad and then we got that derelict George Bush as President. Bush was a real loser for all of us.

And it's not entirely unforgiveable either - I hate that all or nothing attitude towards anything. Like when a person sees the light, and you see all these people saying "too late" as if it is not a good thing to have persuaded someone to see things our way.

I think before Cuomo resigns, they need to make sure that Gaetz, Kavanaugh, Cawthorn and all the rest that have had charges brought against them resign. Why is someone so desperate to get rid of Cuomo? Who is pushing this? There are a lot of others that are just as guilty that are still in our government. One is even on the Supreme Court, for God's sake and DJT is even demanding to be President again!!! If they are going to demand one resign, then we should demand that all resign. Al Franken should never have resigned!!!
