I want to make New York Great! Again
Candidate Andrew Cuomo in 2010 running for NY Governor.

America was never that Great
NY Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday

Good to see that he is learning.

But no - he walked his comment about America back. More's the pity.
Only to make it more laughably stupid.

One of the reasons the GOP is opposed to stopping poverty is that people in poverty make worse decisions.

The GOP racists are at it again:
https://apnews.com/366440549dd049858fd296430361fb1c

"Let's shut down 77.7% of the polling places in this predominantly black county."

 
Quote
The Randolph County elections board is scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss a proposal that would eliminate seven of nine polling locations in the county, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia. Included in the proposed closures is Cuthbert Middle School where nearly 97 percent of voters are black.
...
In addition to statewide offices, Randolph County voters will also vote for state legislative seats in November. All nine polling locations were used during this year’s primary and Republican run-off, so it is unclear why the locations would be closed down, Andrea Young said.

Spare me the "prove it's racist" crap.

I am not an Omarosa fan.

I never watched The Apprentice and nothing I heard about her suggested to me that she had any business working in the White House. So, the train wreck of her being fired is of no shock to me whatsoever.

And every time she opens her mouth, I want her prosecuted.

But I have this one problem:

Her statements which were incredible are now credible.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/omarosa-price-silence-trump-aides-15k-campaign-records/story?id=57159377

She told the world that the Trump campaign or the Republican Party is still paying some former aides $15k per  month to keep silent. A look at the financial records confirms that some former aides are getting about that amount.

This is problematic. If it were just her making wild, unsubstantiable (and unsubstantiated) claims, nobody would care and with good cause. But having that part backed up by other people is not good for the President or his former aides. If that is true, one asks, what else is legit?

No one in this administration has any credibility but if they’re firing on each other you can bet they’re dishing truth.

Since we know payoffs, catch and kill, and other shady arrangements have been employed for years to keep little trump jr. from being bored by the replacement wives. There is no reason the creepy slime cadaver wouldn’t employ the same pressure tactics in his grand scheme to defraud the United States, what Red would call an “administration”.

Omarosa, too crazy for even the Donald. "The presidential apprentice", blurred lines between reality TV and reality. Entertaining but getting a bit tedious. Just bomb Iran, throw out the illegals, and leave in two years.

Iran is the best buddy of his idol Assad AND his candidate of choice, Tulsi Gabbard, is vociferously against it.
