13. We'll be seeing the gop working this angle all the time now.

Of course we can't take a position, and imo, the investigation won't really take that long.

Leaders like Cuomo are the gop funders' favorite targets, and they'll work their money against Democratic leaders' character for as long as they can tie them up in the press -- and even the courts, if they can find a way to make hearsay evidence get that far.

"Real strength" is based on real harm done.
A woman's hurt feelings of injury don't necessarily rise to the level of harm.

If he showed a pattern, as Trump does, there would be legal jeopardy, but I don't think this shows a pattern, or rises to the level of legal jeopardy, nevermind losing his job, for heaven's sake.

That's good. And smart. Silver1 Feb 2021 #1
