How has he not been impeached already? https://nypost.com/2021/06/15/cuomo-nursing-home-order-cause... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/04/nyregion/cuomo-nursing-ho...

I thought those links would be about all the sexual assault allegations that somehow disappeared with no consequences. I had forgotten about all about the nursing home thing. How is this guy still in office?!?

I would add that it's mostly tribalism and avoiding cognitive dissonance. Democrats were calling for Desantis' head because he was thought to be cooking the numbers. Republicans are calling for Coumo's head because he was cooking the numbers. In general, people ignore things that don't fit, and seek out things that do fit, their existing world view.

> Democrats were calling for Desantis' head because he was thought to be cooking the numbers. Republicans are calling for Coumo's head because he was cooking the numbers. Except, rational people can see that someone being 'thought to cook the numbers' and someone 'cooking the numbers' are wholly different things and only one 'side' worthy of condemnation in this instance.

He is a high level career politicians and therefore has friends in the right places so the procedural things that need to happen for him to be impeached will simply not happen unless there's a reason. The party will depose him eventually because they don't want people known to have those skeletons in their closet but it will either happen quietly later (i.e. he won't seek further political office and will get a cushy…

Also his last re-election was a joke, "somehow" his only primary challenger was a nobody and literally not a politician, so he won that handily, and then beat his Republican opponent more or less on the grounds of being not-a-Republican. It sucks.
