Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, you dictatorial son of a bitch.
You have been at war with your state's residents since the day you swore in, and the only downside of your departure is that it comes a decade too late. You have destroyed one of the greatest states in the nation, and presided over and been the cause of some of New York's darkest days.
You don't love anybody but yourself, and you have served nothing but your own self-interest.
You leave our state more divided, embittered and impoverished than it has ever been. You have gutted the Southern Tier, depopulated upstate, endangered the streets and enfeebled the laws. You have turned people against one another at every turn, and you never showed the slightest ability to or interest in understanding the lives and priorities of the people over whom you ruled.
And you have bastardized and castrated the democratic process. Each of your signature policy advances came by short circuiting normal procedure and shutting citizens and even legislators from the process.
You boast of advancing gay marriage, but forget that you had to cheat the system to do it. You boast of the Safe Act and your war against guns, but likewise forget that you had to cheat to get it passed.
As an entire region of your state faced the starkest poverty in the nation, and looked to hydrofracking to save it, you dragged out a process for years on end, giving satisfaction to neither side and ultimately deciding by not deciding, by taking one side when it was the only side left.
You said that rural, upstate Republicans – “extreme conservatives” you called them -- had no place in New York, and you set about pushing them out, through taxes and regulations and antagonistic policies, until you changed the demographic of entire regions and drove more than a million New Yorkers away from the homes and into other states. No governor in any state in any era has so depopulated his state – in hard numbers or percentages – or so brazenly driven out those who disagreed with him. You conducted a cultural cleansing of upstate people, dispossessing hundreds of thousands of them from a state that had been their home for generations.
And it wasn’t just Republicans.
You sold out your own party to promote an alliance with Senate Republicans and breakaway Democrats to thwart the rank-and-file progressives who put you in office year after year. When local officials crossed you – Republican or Democrat – you punished them by penalizing their constituents, denying them aid or access to state programs.
You were an equal-opportunity bastard, cruel and vindictive at every turn, a Caesar for sure, but a later, besotted, incompetent one, somewhere between a Caligula and a Nero.
You named a bridge after your father, but shamed his name with your conduct and attitude, a spoiled rich boy who lived off the power of others until he got big enough to claim and misuse it on his own.
You gave proof to the Biblical assertion that, “When the wicked rule, the people mourn,” and mourn they did, through debts and deficits and downturns and dictates. Until as their parents died behind doors you barred, some doomed by policies you ordered and concealed, the agony of a worst-in-the-nation pandemic raged in your streets while you preened for the cameras and sent lackeys to negotiate a multi-million dollar deal for a book you would neither truly write nor believe.
You raged across the state, in spectacles of self-pleasure, followed by sycophants and courted by the obsequious, the great enabling army of scrap feeders, condescendingly warning others not to “get ahead of the governor.”
And so you preened, the naked emperor before a people too terrified and oppressed to tell you the truth.
Until a woman stood up.
And another, and another.
Women of talent and potential and drive who came to government to serve and grow and lead, but whom you treated as playthings, as baubles, as adornments and decorations, as objects of your crude and caddish advances, and worse.
Women who told the truth, in the face of your torrent of lies. They were Davids to your Goliath. They were Lindseys to your Cuomo. They were doers of right in a culture of wrong.
And they prevailed, and the truth prevailed, and the system prevailed, and the right thing was done.
They got Capone on tax evasion, and they Cuomo on sexual harassment, and sometimes that’s how it is with monsters.
They rage and they roar, and people suffer and cower.
But the good guys win in the end.
And this, Andy, is your end.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
This could be about virtually any Democrat office holder, and a good half of Republicans.
After that @ss ripping, I don’t know if Killer Cuomo will have one for the door to hit!
I met him when he worked for his daddy. I’d say circa 1986....he was an arrogant jerk that thought he was better than everyone else...
The media can rehabilitate anyone, just as sure as they can tear them down.
Saying he didn’t cross the line because someone moved the line and didn’t tell him, how rich is that? Then claiming the safe act was an accomplishment? sheesh, what a kook.
I would argue no it can’t
Governor Cuomo has been declared political persona non grata by too many that have the power to matter.
Now that he is no longer the Governor his very life is in danger. He has many mortal enemies
So he resigned.
He still literally got away with mass murder AND rape.
“This is our future nationally.”
At this rate, the RINOs will insure that we have no future as a Republic.
The Dems now have an excuse to stop the impeachment. I think that will be a political mistake letting this guy totally off the hook.
“You conducted a cultural cleansing of upstate people, dispossessing hundreds of thousands of them from a state that had been their home for generations.”
He learned this from dear old dad, Mario.
Me and all of my family left in the 1980s except for Mom.
Mom stayed until she passed two years ago.
I moved from Orchard Park(suburb of Buffalo)in 1985 to NH.
My three other brothers went to NC, TX and PA.
Most of my cousins have left for better places.
The southern tier east and west of Binghamton has really taken the biggest hit in the last decade. The PA counties boomed just across the border because of natural gas fracking. Cuomo by edict would not allow it and turned that area into one of the worst economic areas in the lower 48.
This is our future nationally.

Good, bad or indifferent this is the way things have been
ever since Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue. Rulers rule
and the governed submit. Remember the mid 1800s war?
I’m OK with the door hitting him
I'm sure he had a good long cwy this morning over his Free Republic and Cap'n Cwunch.
As long as the door knob is strategically placed.
He contaminated the ship. Never used the building or offsites and spoke against President Trump at every turn....while at the same time, he was rigging Covid numbers, watching Cuomo followers destroy NYC, killing businesses and sending seniors to the death chambers.
And for that....he got praise from Biden yesterday.
Did they?
I don't know much about his replacement, but a New York friend tells me she is worse.
Will CNN hire him?
Thats for sure, they all just voted for Bernies 3.5T budget bill, including Manchin and Sinema, with nothing for the military. We are seriously fu**ed.
Cuomo will be forced to go back to work with the NYC mafia, and if he doesn’t, he will sleep with the fishes.
Bad dude. Bad supporters.He looks good gone. But who will they put in now? Hopefully not another capo de capo.
