But in the article:
Reassuring that there are some within the Democratic Party whose ethics and principles trump their allegiance to the Party.
Is the above a Yandex translation to English of Russian Orthodox scripture?

Don't do it, Cuomo. Don't let them pull a Franken on you.
Do not resign!

INNOCENT until proven guilty. Has everyone forgotten?

However, there comes a point where the doubt created becomes an impediment to being able to effectively govern. One cannot govern effectively without the support of the people being governed. And as a governor is supposed to be beholden to the interests of the people over his own, the honorable move to make is to resign, so that a leader can be chosen whom has the confidence of the people.
It's unfortunate if one turns out to be innocent.

Hmmm...took 7 women to push these Dems to call for his resignation, so that’s pretty much the standard (according to Democrats) for them to take the allegations of one of their own seriously. When it comes to Republicans 1 witness will do even without a single shred of evidence, just accuse them and the rest will take a life of its own politically...smh..

But it took all of the Democrats to go bonkers over one accusation when it came to Kavanaugh and one over the former President.
That wasn’t my point, relax, relax. Again, the calling for the resignation was later, I’m talking about making the accusations and how when it comes to Democrats, they need one accusation even without a single shred of evidence to call for a resignation, if it’s a Democrat they need seven to even consider asking for a resignation even with a disturbing and creepy photo showing that one of their own has a very serious problem with women that should be looked into.
Not me, Cuomo didn’t touched me....yeah, that was funny.

If it's a Democrat there are calls for investigations and resignations. If it's a Republican then you elect him President.

Just Remember, We are all innocent till proven guilty in the COURT Of Law, and NOT the daily Tabloids.

When it concerns Republicans.
Like Bill Clinton, I know....

Yep, and for the GQP, 26 women can come forward, share very credible stories, one even says she was raped, and they are all "Liars, Swindlers, and Bimbos"... Now that's respect for women, huh....

Twenty-six....and he even admitted to his "grabbing" on tape. So show us where one Repub said Trump should resign....

When you’re saying “I’m being canceled.” Red flag.
When you say “I am not a member of the political club.” When your father was a 3-term governor, the field was cleared for you to run HUD and you were married to a Kennedy, you are either delusional or disingenuous.
Again, count myself amongst the disappointed. And an investigation is warranted. But very framework if any come out of these investigations looking as good as they did going in.
We have to be better than the Trump-cult and hold our side to the values we espouse.

Hmmm for the Dems one accusation called for a nomination retraction and every lib and Hollywood B-celeb accused and pushed guilt and condemnation of an accused based on one allegation.
Relax, I’m talking about the knee-jerk reaction to oust Republicans on one or two accusations.
lincolnman
So, are all 26 liars?
You missed the question - show us one senior Repub that said Trump should resign....

Cuomo knows this will all blow over by next week. The fickle media will find some other sensational story to chase.
bob
show us one woman who came forward with credible complaints that President Trump sexually assaulted them.
You can't. Because there aren't.
stormcrow
I wonder how long Gov. Cuomo will be able to last. After all, he's not a Republican but a Democrat. Trump could've gotten away with this easily (and he did for much worse), but his supporters wouldn't have cared at all either, even the women.
lincolnman
Great joke - very funny... May I suggest you go back and read the link I included instead of just reflexively posting... And his boasting on tape about "grabbing"...
bass4funk
So I want a full investigation, the sooner, the better and I just hope that whatever the evidence shows on his handling the nursing homes alone the guy should resign. Either way, NYC deserves better, No joke.
lincolnman
I agree - seven accusations warrants a swift, thorough investigation...
Someone with THREE TIMES that many accusations, with at least one of those accusations alleging rape, deserves one even more, right?
bob
Hi lincolman. Im trying to find the name of the woman in the Access Hollywood tape who came forward to accuse President Trump of sexual assault.
So far......nothing.
starpunk
Double standards. It appears Cuomo did some really stupid things at best but it's OK if TrumpChump talks trash about the several women who came forth with allegations of even worse things? What about his 'grab by the .....' boastings, bragging about barging into locker rooms, his incestuous lust remarks, his (current) wife's porn shoots, his boorish sexist remarks about Lady Di when he visited the UK, his paying Stormy Daniels to shut up about their tryst, his hatred towards intelligent women, and LBNL, his past record of running strip joints in Nevada along with his hotel-casinos?
The standards must apply to everyone or they mean nothing.
If Cuomo is guilty he should pay, but make all offenders pay and that includes the One Who Got Away with It. No exceptions. Yes, Quisling Donald Trump - I'm talking to YOU!
bass4funk
That is not the issue, the issue is, the Dems waited this long to start an investigation and to ask now for Cuomo's resignation, but when they went after Kavanaugh, there was zero presumption of innocence or let's get the facts out, Cuomo immediately asked for Kavanaugh to step down as Supreme Court Justice nominee, the left went wild without knowing the facts first, they believed the allegations and went buck wild on this guy and now with Cuomo and these allegations it takes 7 women to push the Dems to take a second look? That is the partisan hypocrisy.
What happened between Stormy and Trump was between two consulting adults and this wasn't while Trump was in office. Huge difference.
It should, but alas.....
