Well, at least a good second to Trump’s role as the “screw a porn-star while my trophy wife is pregnant, let’s kill >500,000 Americans through sheer incompetence while destroying the US economy, AND openly encouraging an insurrection” president.
Whataboutism aside, it will be a shame if the alleged sexual harassment stuff takes him down. His real crimes lie elsewhere and he should be removed from office because of those.
While Brett Kavanaugh doesn’t have much to do with Trump’s failure to lead or set a good example during the pandemic, you ignored the sexual assault allegations against him too:
Mr. Gorrell, at least he (mostly) performed as a caring administrator. There were many sexual predators whose only performances were sleight-of-hand promises of magical results.
Yesterday I polled a number of people that responded negatively to right wing political cartoons. I asked “If you don’t like or agree with the cartoon or cartoonist, why do you read and comment on his strip?” Of the responses I received by yesterday evening, I was able to group them into three main types of reason.54% of responses said “To keep an eye on my enemies/The right wing is terrible”38% said “To combat lies”8% said “To prevent myself from becoming ignorant.Of the three responses, only the “to combat lies” answered not only why they read it, but also why they commented. Below is my overall response to each of the answers.“To combat lies”There are better ways to combat lies than simply stating that “The cartoonist is spreading lies.” The preferred way to refute a lie would be a PEEL paragraph. Start by collecting information on the topic, and developing a position on that topic. Then use the below to template your paragraph. Position: state the issue that you wish to argue.Evidence: Provide evidence to back up your statement, preferably from both left and right leaning sources – no source is unbiased.Explain: explain what you believe the evidence means. Be respectful, but show why your opinion is right, even if it isn’t.Link: Link the evidence and explain to the position statement with a closing statement. (e.g. “When one considers point a, b, and c, it is clear that my viewpoint is correct.”)You should send your paragraph to whoever is spreading the lies, asking politely for a retraction. If you want to post your paragraph here, prepare to respond to comments, argue your point, and maybe even change your mind. This method of commenting fleshes out your argument, and increases your chances of changing someone else’s mind, rather than a short comment, which may push others further into their opinion.
If Cuomo if forced to leave office, another Governor might pardon #45 for actions in New York State. #45 has gotten away with things before by getting in with government officials. (example: Giuliani.)
Most assuredly. Trump had over a dozen women accusing him of sexual harassment or assault, and his crimes in office make Cuomo’s look trivial by comparison.
Really? With the entire republican party complicit in the cover-up of the pandemic, the stalling of the response, the elimination of aid, and, for most, an exponentially higher number of sexual assault accusations?Cuomo did wrong, but barely deserves honorable mention when held up to any republican.

Don’t much like Cuomo, but the twice impeached treasonous sleazeweasel tops him for sure. Sleazeweasel always wanted an Emmy.

Since you blindly supported a person accused of multiple rapes, you don’t get to say anything. Period.

Rumor has it that Cuomo is going to switch parties and run on the GOP ticket for president. A lot of People are saying that he’s a shoo in.

The women accusing Andrew Cuomo should be heard, and the allegations should be investigated immediately.
As everyone else here has already pointed out, you only seem to care about sexual misconduct allegations when they are against Democrats.
You have ignored the 26 women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct:
