Biden is calling on Cuomo to resign, there's absolutely no tightening of the ranks to protect him that I can see. I think he goes down.

feels like Cuomo can't dodge it, yeah. he probably had a chance to get out from under it if he had resigned or made some sort of mea culpa and pledge not to run again before the investigation started, but this is pretty damning stuff and he doesn't have a ton of friends left.

FWIW, Eric Adams also says he should be impeached as well, and he's someone who I trust only to do the politically expedient thing.

Found in the USNews thread: https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2021/08/03/heres-how-impeachment-works-in-new-york-1389410

TLDR: Majority vote in the Assembly, followed by a vote of the Senate plus the Court of Appeals minus the Senate majority leader, of which 2/3 must vote to convict. And on slightly murky legal ground because a NY governor has not been impeached since 1913 (in a scandal whipped up by Tammany Hall to get rid of him)

yeah thats pretty good


He's kind of hated by everyone at a personal level so maybe they just figure this will finally get rid of a guy they privately despise but weren't able to openly go against.

Honestly the weirder part is how a guy kept up this when basically nobody wants to work with him.

Suburban white women probably like it?

But also there's the "everyone hates him because he thinks he's a loving Corleone and is the worst just look at him" angle. Even the actual accusations are so slimy and objectionable on a human level that actual humans must struggle to side with him, even if it's to their own benefit. I'm sure there are people in Albany who are so jaded that their stomachs aren't turned by "I speculate that I could date a woman as young as 22," but the collection of people who would have a human reaction to that and the people who benefit materially from Cuomo going down and the people who hate him for other reasons might eke out a majority.

its basically a billions episode. the AG that put out the report to nail him is also a top contender to run to replace him, and can then run on "i took down a sex pest" "oh and also i just got 200M out of some drug companies for opiods". its black lady chuck rhodes.

Looks like the only debate in the assembly is whether to have the vote immediately or to wait a couple of weeks to ensure there are no loose ends Cuomo could pick at during the trial. Cuomo has until the end of next week to submit evidence in his defense, which gives some idea of how quick they are moving. The assembly seems to but want to look like they're giving him any cover, so they're wanting to move fast.

Cuomo aide who says he groped her has filed a criminal complaint in Albany, increasing the chances he possibility he'll face criminal charges for his behavior. The crime is forcible touching, a misdemeanor.
