That he tried to then brand himself as an amazing Covid leadership success story was pretty offensive.
Looks like it went to his head and he frittered away all that good will he had including with the media. He's up for reelection in 2022. Will be interested to see if he faces a significant primary challenge (I predict yes)."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

IOW, oh wise sage of all things American, having occasional control of one of the two houses of the legislature, while the assembly (the lower house) has been completely controlled by the Democrats since 1975 and the governorship has been in Democrat control since 2007 (Republicans have only been governor for something like 13 of the last 50 years) hardly constitutes Republicans having "a majority in NY state."
So excuse me but the words "pompous", "arrogant" and "ignorant" are currently springing to mind.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostYou apparently fail to understand that, much like the U.S. Congress, the NY Senate is but one part of a bicameral legislature. And then there is this thing called the "governor" which is the leader of the state's executive branch.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Go back to watching your TYT videos and Hollyweird movies and pretending that they provide you with all you will ever need to know about the U.S. You're like the person who reads a two page article in a magazine who then thinks they're now an expert on the subject discussed and just too full of themselves to ever admit that they really only have the barest, most basic understanding of it while ignoring the fact that they are nothing but a laughing stock whenever they start pontificating on it and exposing their abysmal ignorance for all to see.
