The fact that Andrew Coumo would EVER consider moving to Florida is even more evidence that he has NO business ever being allowed to be Mayor of New York City.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in.
Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.
