Tweet

It's entirely unclear what he's asking for in that tweet. He was in Buffalo plugging himself and he was saying how much he loves everybody. He quoted the bible. He's only used a few tweet threads.

Most tweets are disconnected. If I had to guess - he wants the dems to grant the police (and three letter agencies?) extraordinary powers for "justice". Here are two tweets one after another...

Do justice. Politics today is toxic – we have extremist politicians who are fanning the flames of fear. They are purposely fomenting hate groups by saying Blacks, Latinos and immigrants are a replacement theory for the white race.

These people are domestic terrorists, as dangerous to this country as foreigners who put bombs in buildings.

Change the federal law & if a social media network is the place where these terrorist plots are being planned then they should be held legally accountable

Obviously - you could read those tweets as "Blacks, Latinos and immigrants" are the domestic terrorists.

    Honestly Cuomo’s comeback tour could be exactly what Blue MAGA is looking for. As long as the tweets are unhinged, I’ll take whatever hellworld is serving

      I wonder if he'll be successful in posting through it. Maybe he'll tweet - "Jesus said to love everyone. And I do! We must grant extraordinary powers to the police and federal forces to stop white supremacy..." Who knows - maybe he'll show ahead of the curve and mainstream dems will mimic that.

        It’s obnoxious as hell when the chuds do it, but they don’t call him King Cuomo for nothing. He still has a lot of power in NY and the fact that Democratic leadership put so much pressure on him now makes it possible to somehow spin himself as an underdog outsider

    If he was talking about covid, or abortion rights, or tons of other things, it’d be :heartbreaking: but instead it sounds like he means more cops

    Process over substance. Gotta act, gotta "get things done." What these things are? How very un-American of you to ask.

    Fascist authoritarian political round up of your political opponents was definitely on the cards but to have it come from the democrats is just, that’s just excellent writing.

    We were all so focused on who the bad guy was but this was merely a trick, a canny use of Lacanian gaze. Deflection.

    Brilliant, the 2022 season is tense high drama and now brilliant plot twists. Let’s fucking go.

      "Governor Cuomo - there are reports you hugged inappropriately. Do you have any comment?"

      "People are jealous of my success and my passion. I'm successful and I'm passionate! Here's how it works: if I did not touch ass - I did not sexually harass. Simple. But profound. And accurate. Now stop interrupting me. I'm building my brand back up by being 100% pro-police state in the name of love, harmony, and anti-racism..."
