A misdemeanor? Come on New York, we can multi task. We can prosecute Trump AND Cuomo while presiding over Virginia’s civil suit.
I ain’t a fan of Renner but damn, that coat!
Did you guys hear Khloe and True have Covid? Khloe had Covid last year, was vaccinated, and still got it again now. This pandemic is not over and I keep seeing way too many people acting like Covid is history.
CNN had a poll out yesterday that said 45% (!!!!!) of the country is going about their “pre-pandemic” lives. That astounds me. While time has passed, this virus has NOT.
Tbh though, sometimes I *do* almost “forget” we’re all still in this plague, and then the reality of it smacks me right between the eyes. Yes, I am *beyond* tired of this all, tired of masks, tired of not feeling safe going into stores/restaurants (even though I *am* double vaxxed/boosted/flu shot), and I *always* wear a mask (I upgrade to a KN95 when I’m going to be indoors somewhere, and just the 4 ply blue surgical mask for outdoors if I’ll be around others), I keep up hand hygiene religiously, carrying sanitizer in my purse and using it liberally. BUT until we do get this under real control, I’ll continue to do these things.
100 % agree ! I’ve said no to party invites. I have 2 weddings to attend next year and I’m nervous and don’t think I’ll go (I would have to fly to Europe). This pandemic is very far from over.
I have a friend who went out partying to bars in NC 3 months after getting vaxxed for 3 nights in a row, got covid, and had the worst 10 days of his life. In Ontario, we still have an indoor mask mandate at least until March and all my friends are leery to do indoor dining AND be around unvaxxed little children. It is a completely different world up here with our caution. I want to go to NY for the holidays to visit family and friends, but I have to let everyone know that if anyone feels ill, they have to cancel with me even the sniffles because I have to have a negative covid test to get back into Canada.
I’m in Ontario too. I really hope the mask mandate lasts longer than March. No way in hell is it going to be safe to walk around with no mask in just 5 months time.
Khloe nor has anyone in that family act like their was a pandemic to begin with. Have birthdays parties, Halloween parties and more with hundreds of people last year.
Oh I know. Remember Kim’s 40th? I heard Kylie was planning a big baby shower/gender reveal or something. Wonder if that’s still going to happen. Just imagine how many people Khloe may have exposed. They are filming for their HULU show. She has nannies, chefs, maids, trainers. Good thing True doesn’t go to school just yet or she could have exposed her entire class. I wonder if True has been around her cousins or Kris Jenner, or her dad Tristan though? Anyways, yeah, the Kardashians never gave a sh*t about this pandemic but it’s still scary to think someone who already had Covid, was vaccinated, and still got Covid a second time.
@ME I hope the mask mandate stays the rest of 2022 and agree with you completely! I just completed my citizenship test and am awaiting my ceremony to be officially a dual citizen (Canadian/American). I am American born.
Canada welcomes you !
The NY Post photo of that bully Cuomo says it all- not only is that woman angry and afraid, she’s half his age and half his size.
Ugh! All of his excuses, ‘the times are different’, ‘the lines you can’t cross have moved’. No. Women have always been hurt, humiliated, embarrassed by his behavior. The only thing that changed is he can’t get away with it anymore.
“Times were different” is probably the most privileged statement in the English language. Or perhaps “that’s when people still had a sense of humor.” Or even “before PC ruined everything.” Actually, I could keep going on this point.
That photo of Cuomo is terrifying. It looks like he’s preparing to chew off her face, Hannibal Lecter style.
Very disappointed that Cuomo’s behavior has turned out to be so bad. Not defending or excusing it. That said (don’t hurt me please) but Leticia James and so many others in NY, including Cy Vance have more than ample evidence (trust me) on Trump and family, their organization which includes very serious charges and they are not moving as swiftly as they should be. It is bothersome to me that they are only focused on Cuomo, and are letting the Trump charges drag out. I’ll leave it at that.
Agree wholeheartedly. Such a double standard. I hope Trump gets punished.
Charging him with a misdemeanor is hardly focusing on him. Not to mention that he was allowed to dictate the terms of his resignation.
Because of politics there was no appetite by mainstream media to blackball this dude and run him out on a rail … and clearly that hasn’t changed
I do get “times have changed” as it pertains to some of his actions. Like greeting acquaintances with a kiss on the cheek. Now we know that makes some people uncomfortable. As a child I was forced to give relatives & family friends a kiss hello and goodbye and my shyness made this painful, but now some parents don’t insist their kids do that. If that was all Cuomo did, and he acknowledged that he understood why he shouldn’t and won’t continue, I would could forgive and move on.
Of course grabbing a b**b has never been seen as socially appropriate which is what this charge is about.
It’s a good idea to raise your children with the knowledge and confidence to say no and have control over access to their own bodies. It helps protect from manipulation by pedophiles and rapists. Cuomo may be a Democrat but he is awful. We can do better. Lots of great Democrats out there who don’t abuse women.
That story about the influencer is wild. Yikes!
lol it is insane the lengths people will go for attention! and the poor fools who defend influencer culture and buy into it all –are just as much to blame.
