Truth...
In a way President Trump was the hiding place for Cuomo. All the problems were directed someplace else. Started with "I don't Trust this Federal Government" To Not getting any Vaccines, to the highest Covid death in the country in New York State as they destroy the quality of life, to now the Nursing Homes.
Just a thought.

Insirection...
A Black Lives Matter march through Midtown Manhattan turned violent Friday night, with 11 protesters arrested...
The NYPD reported that two officers suffered minor injuries during the protest, which was attended by about 100 marchers.
The photog was surrounded and struck after one of the marchers recognized him from a BLM protest outside the NYPD’s 6th Precinct house in Greenwich Village last year, according to sources.
The agitated protester began yelling, "He’s a cop," inciting many of his fellow marchers.
About a dozen people surrounded the photog, shoving him and beating him with their fists and other objects, sources said.
Bloodthirsty...
Michael van der Veen, a lawyer who represented former President Trump in his second impeachment trial, ranted against the media in a CBS News interview after Trump was acquitted.
Van der Veen accused prosecutors of doctoring evidence in the impeachment over the January 6 Capitol riot. "Because they hadn't done any investigation, they doctored evidence. It's absolutely shocking," he said.
Interviewer Lana Zak tried to clarify Van der Veen's comments, asking if he was referring to "selective editing" of footage from the riot and a tweet Trump's team claimed was shown during the trial that was allegedly labeled with the wrong year. "Is that the doctored evidence of which you're speaking?" Zak asked.
But Van der Veen then began ranting about the media more generally. "The media is trying to divide this country," he said. "You are bloodthirsty for ratings," he continued, calling the questions a "set up" with "slanted coverage." He removed his microphone and walked off camera.
Compare the Media treatment of Van der with the treatment Avenati, Stormy Daniel's lawyer got... Fair and sub-balanced. Just a thought.

Steamy...
The taxpayers weren’t the only ones getting screwed.
A Metro-North worker resigned last month after the MTA’s watchdog caught him having sex with a woman at a railyard while collecting overtime pay, according to a new report.
Investigators from the office of MTA Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny observed the machinist, a 25-year veteran, bring an unauthorized woman onto the grounds of the Croton-Harmon property three times last spring including at least one time that got steamy, according to the report, set to be publicized later.
On May 16, OIG gumshoes observed the man and woman neither of whom is identified by name in the report “kiss and have intimate contact” in a railroad storage yard “behind the open door” of the woman’s Nissan Pathfinder, according to the document.
For his good deed he was paid overtime. MTA at its best. Just a thought.
Boo hoo
The lead impeachment manager, Jamie Raskin, said the Democrats’ case appeared nevertheless to convince even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Trump’s guilt in inciting the Capitol riot.
Two days after Trump escaped conviction, and as his supporters reveled in the prospect of his return to frontline politics, Raskin also told the Washington Post it was both “good and terrible to watch” McConnell’s post-verdict speech in which he voted to acquit because the trial was unconstitutional.
It was telling, Raskin said, that many of the 43 Republicans who voted to acquit “felt the need to hang their hats” on that argument, which was rejected by constitutional scholars and twice by the Senate itself.
The second impeachment was to tell the Republican parties that the Democrates are in charge, doing whatever.... The Republicans answered.
Implode...
The Lincoln Project, the anti-Donald Trump political outfit, imploded Friday evening amid mounting criticism of its handling of sexual misconduct allegations against one of its co-founders and of the management of its finances.
Steve Schmidt, a prominent political strategist and one of the original co-founders of the organisation, on Friday evening became the latest in a string of departures from the group. In a lengthy statement, Schmidt said he was “incandescently angry” about allegations that former Lincoln Project leader John Weaver sent sexually explicit text messages to young men.
As he has done previously, Schmidt again insisted he only learned in January of the allegations against Weaver a married father of two who has been accused of sending sexually aggressive messages to younger men and one minor, offering to trade sex for professional favors.
