is New York City dead?

Not NYC but Governor Cuomo is going down! good riddance to that jerk, always hated his BS tough guy energy.

Good

Fantastic if true.

I don't literally mean if it's true, of course it's true, I mean I don't want to underestimate his wiggling out of things power.

honestly think requiring vaccines to go to the gym will move the needle the most

BREAKING: NYC to require screening for vaccination for entry to bars, nightclubs, restaurants, gyms etc. Will take effect in Sept.

This is a critical measure to slow the rapid spread of Delta here, and to incentivize vaccination.https://t.co/QIWoRu2gGj

Re cuomo: ah well nevertheless

yeah this seems possible, but who knows

Gavin Newsom is gonna get replaced by a guy who wins with 11% of the vote because every boat dealer in Orange County voted for him and Andrew Cuomo is still going to be the Governor of New York in 2055

Wow, that response from Cuomo is borderline psychopathic. He's not stepping down at all.

Vaccination screening only starts in September? Waiting a month seems like a long time

eat shit cuomo

gives people a month to confirm the rule with their staff and rehire as necessary

(both for cuomo and all of nyc i guess)

Also gives people a month to actually get vaccinated.

Hey, give Cuomo some credit, he didn't actually grope anyone during his I-am-not-a-groper speech.

wasn't expecting this

Also prospective mayor, cop, weirdo and red-ass trying to consolidate Authority In A Vaccuum, news at 11

is biden on the record about this from when the allegations first came out?

biden said cuomo should resign back in march

yeah i thought so. i don't understand why people are saying it comes down to biden.

Only one New York governor has ever been impeached — William Sulzer, who was impeached for campaign finance violations and removed from office in October 1913 after a three-week trial. Historians have said he was targeted for having crossed Tammany Hall, the corrupt political organization that had once backed him.

"During his tenure, his efforts to remove Tammany Hall influences in state government resulted in an investigation that discovered fraud in his own campaign contributions," the National Governors Association website said.

Sulzer said his impeachment was a "political lynching" and "the culmination of a deep-laid political conspiracy to oust me from office."

As for the impeachment process itself, Stephen Gillers, a New York University law professor, said, "it's a lot like but not the same as in the federal system."

Impeachment begins in the Assembly and "requires a majority of the members of the Assembly" to vote to charge the governor.

Unlike the federal Constitution, New York's Constitution makes "no mention of high crimes and misdemeanors," Galie said. In terms of possible charges, "there's nothing there at all," leaving the way forward entirely up to the Assembly, he said.

If the Assembly votes to charge the governor, a trial is held before the state Senate. Unlike in the federal system, the senators aren't the only judges/jurors. Judges from the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, hear the case, as well. That could be a boon for Cuomo, who appointed all seven of the judges.

Gillers said the judges probably were added to eliminate appeals, because the "state high court judges would already have participated in the impeachment trial."

A two-thirds vote is required for conviction, and the penalty is removal from office. The Senate and the judges could also vote to ban the governor from holding any other state office — a penalty that wasn't used against Sulzer. He was elected to the Assembly just weeks after he was impeached.

Biden directly called on Cuomo to resign today.

P sure everyone either hates Cuomo or is afraid to admit they hate Cuomo. More people moving from latter to former camp now.

There are signs all over NYC right now where worried-looking people ask things like, "Do the vaccines have any impact on pregnancy?" above the tagline "It's good to have questions" and a URL you can go to, and -- I'm no expert -- but maybe just put the answers on the ads?

Great news!!

However, millions of rats were potentially killed due to flooding when the remnants of Hurricane Ida hit NYC last week.

The Guitar Center in Brooklyn (@Flatbush and Atlantic) is apparently closed for good

RIP Phil Schaap, NY will never be the same.

My friends and I would listen to his shows keep track of his tangents and colloquialisms. My favorite was "I'm saying more and more about less and less"

RIP

A man at this congestion pricing @MTA town hall said it would negatively impact businesses, using an example of a time he went into Manhattan for free Krispy Kreme and said he wouldn’t have if there had been a toll. @2AvSagas

New World Mall basement food court. Go to the grocery store on the main floor to look at amazing unfamiliar fruits and the terrifying giant crabs trying to escape from their plexi holding cells. Steamed rice rolls at Joe's Steam Rice Roll which is right outside the mall. Nan Xiang Xiao for soup DUMPLINGS!!

Sorry all I care about is food. I used to know where to play DDR and get cute stationery but I haven't been shopping there in years.

Y’all don’t worry it’s not til tomorrow/Monday! I’m arriving in Flushing at like 7pm and then leaving the next day prob around 4?

…the latest skirmish began on Nov. 29 at a community meeting. James Stuckey, an executive vice president at Mr. Ratner’s firm, Forest City Ratner, was explaining the process of eminent domain…… asking the state to obtain
property for them as a last resort … Mr. Stuckey said, would involve declaring properties in the proposed arena footprint "blighted." The word drew jeers from
members of the audience, the newspaper reported, including one woman who yelled back, ‘You’re blighted!’"

love it

In New York we always go big, so I’m going to take my first THREE paychecks in Bitcoin when I become mayor. NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!
