The Twin Tyrants Wrecking New York
An interview with Matt Palumbo, author of Dumb and Dumber: How Cuomo and de Blasio Ruined New York.
By Ray McCoy

While every town and hamlet probably sees itself as the “real†America, traditionally speaking there may be no city and state more American than New York. It was the first hub of the young nation and its capital from 1785-1790. Since 1790, New York City has been the most populous in the country, while Los Angeles and Chicago traded the next two spots throughout most of the 20th century.
Unfortunately, growth has given way to bloat. Starting in the 1970s, New York’s population began to stagnate and then decrease. Much of this trend can be attributed to the lax law enforcement practices and precarious financial administration policies under a string of mayors beginning with John Lindsay in the late 1960s and ending with the resurgence of the city under Rudy Giuliani after 1994.
But the current administrations of both the city under Mayor Bill de Blasio and the state under Governor Andrew Cuomo are yet another regression. Well before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, both executives were leading New York into a ditch with their ineptitude and mutual dislike for each other. In 2020, Cuomo became the media’s darling for his daily press briefings and constant appearances on TV.

IMO, the main difference between them is that Cuomo got caught. De Blah-Blah probably has undiscovered T-Rex-sized skeletons in his office washroom.

They voted the criminals in, they deserve whatever the criminals do to them until they stop voting the criminals in.

The Dog barked out:
"They voted the criminals in, they deserve whatever the criminals do to them until they stop voting the criminals in."
They -- the voters of New York state -- will NEVER stop "voting the criminals in".
Because no matter how bad the criminals (actually, call them for what they are, communists) may be, how badly they behave, and no matter how much damage they do to the state -- they will NEVER "vote for the evil Republicans".
Such inexplicable and ingrained behavior is, as the Amish would say, "in der blut"...
