It’s just so in your face

They know they are untouchable

Yes. Just like politicians here in Japan ... the shameless transparency is infuriating.

How about hating the game and the player(s)?

This really should be investigated by the Justice Department.....oh, wait...you said that he exclusively donates to democrats? Never mind, they can’t be bothered. Their job is to investigate republicans...exclusively.....

So I peruse government auctions as part of my business, and a few weeks back came across multiple lots of thousands of pallets of COVID PPE in NYC that they were selling at bargain prices (if you bought them all, it would have been over 100 truckloads). There's no way that masks, gloves, shields,& coveralls should have an expiration date (maybe hand sanitizer, but not really), so, at pennies on the dollar, Kathy should just have bought her own surplus, and saved the NY taxpayers big time. Oh, I guess it doesn't work that way.

Everyone was excited to see Cumo go, now NY has this deep sea monster. BoJo was awful, but I'm fearful of who will replace these goons as it's often worse.

As New Yorker, I can tell you with certainty that Kathy Hochul is MUCH worse than Andrew Cuomo. It's shocking, but true.

Right when she was installed, I told people we'd be begging for Cuomo back.

This isn’t surprising. In Ontario, multiple reports have shown favouritism at play. There was a report that the government handed out exemptions to businesses based on whether or not they’ve given money to the government through lobbying. It’s also true that he gave out a billion dollars in financial aid to companies that didn’t qualify for CoVid relief.

$300K out and $637M in. Do that enough times and it adds up to real money! A lesson in be careful what you wish for.

$300,000 for $637,000,000 is a real nice deal for junk China products. You cannot get a better return on an investment than bribing politicians.

Most power drunk authoritarians are also found to be corrupt at some point.

You're allowed to be a criminal if your a Democrat/Marxist. Didn't you get the memo?

What a dubious distinction to be worse than Cuomo.

The stench of politics runs rampant, not just in this example, but pretty much wherever politicians are.

Sickening. Let's hope this is investigated and prosecuted under the RICO statues.
