It wouldn't be a faithful adaptation if he didn't drop lame one-liners constantly and call all of his victims slurs.

What's lost is his incredible ability to go off on rambling tangents. A true Rogue Warrior game would be mostly flashbacks to martial arts classes and phone calls where some limp-dick gay bureaucrat tells you to be nicer to terrorists. (Marcinko invented whining about how the FBI lost its way when they started hiring minorities.)

I never watched his covid pressers, so I'm making some assumptions here. But his covid pressers were around the same time Trump was doing idiotic pressers. Cuomo is exactly the same kind of petty rear end in a top hat NYC socialite that Trump is, so I assume Cuomo's pressers had a whole lot of dunking on Trump in them. Right around the time when the media (also full of petty NYC assholes) was slavering for more dunks on Trump. So he got this huge boost just from going in front of cameras and slamming Trump all the time.

Whereas other governors like Inslee were doing an undeniably better job than Cuomo but weren't doing big media pushes about it.

The Rogue Warrior experience cannot be called complete without a nine hour escape room minigame that involves an ever longer chain of improbable coincidences conspiring to prevent you from loving the big titted preschool teacher, and a Crazy Taxi knockoff where you just run over Naval Academy grads. There's no pickups, no destinations, just a sea of ring-knockers eager for the epic reaping of taints.

Gina Carano’s first movie with Daily Wire’s production company is going to be a revenge thriller where Carrano plays a woman who survives getting raped by a serial killer trucker and then teams up with a different trucker to hunt the killer down and kill them. They put out a little plot synopsis in a press release and production is scheduled to begin soon.

During the mayoral campaign, placards appeared saying: "Vote for Cuomo, not the homo" in reference to rumors about Koch's sexuality. Cuomo denied responsibility for this but Koch never forgave him "as he made clear with a pointedly disparaging reference to Mr. Cuomo in a recorded interview with The New York Times that was not to be made public until Mr. Koch's death".

I never thought about Cuomo before the pandemic, and I only had to listen to him speak for about 30 seconds to figure out that he's exactly the same kind of narcissistic douche as Trump. It angers me that anybody is surprised at any of his scandals. It's not like this poo poo was ever really hidden in the first place.

I've been thinking about how the media turns repellent right-wing Democrats into heroes. Pelosi became Epic Clapback Red Dress Sunglasses Queen, Biden went from the running gag of the primary horserace to Ice Cream Sunglasses Badass Grandpa.

Harris has the charisma of a pod person, but I've no doubt that the media will try to do the same for her. Is that enough to propel a candidate to victory? And if Trump runs again, will some of his base just move on because it's basically a fandom and he hasn't been around? I don't know. I might be making the mistake of confusing Twitter with a representative cross-section of voters.
