John King just now: Cuomo has realized you have to say nice things about the president on TV...

[Grasswire2]

.....to get what you need. Cuomo's tone has changed.



Think about that for a minute. Let it sink in.

[wryter2000]

1. Gsvin Newsome has been treading lightly on Trump for a while now

It's sad to hear but necessary.

[HotTeaBag]

2. Sucks, but who cares

as long as sick people are able to get the care they need.

I'll speak for myself anyhow - doesn't bother me at all in this case.

[FiveGoodMen]

6. I do.

Yes, we're in the middle of a health emergency, but we were already in the middle of losing democracy, and that's still going full tilt.

You want to survive the pandemic only to wake up in a fascist country?

Not me.

[HotTeaBag]

12. Then vote in November.

Bitching about it on DU does less than nothing.

Ask someone on a ventilator how they feel about Cuomo's 'new' tone and I'm guessing they'll be cool with it.

[FiveGoodMen]

17. What ever made you think that I wouldn't?

And I don't care about Cuomo's tone.

I care that we have a government in which that matters.

[Blues Heron]

9. It's psycho behahiour by POTUS - we just can't have that - EVER

[HotTeaBag]

11. We've had the same behavior for three years, it's nothing new.

Vote in November to stop it.

Until then, I'm fine with Cuomo pacifying Trump to save lives, and I'm sure that those whose lives will be saved are/will be as well.

[Blues Heron]

13. not like this we haven't

This is a whole new kettle of fish. How is this even remotely like the last 3 years?

[HotTeaBag]

15. Same guy, same complete under qualification to be President.

The only thing that's different are the stakes involved.

Cuomo realizes this and is doing what is necessary to make sure he saves lives - he's not complaining about having to 'be nice', he's facing an emergency situation and doing everything he can to get what he needs.

I guess the alternative is for Cuomo to say "I will not be made to play nice with this asshole, I'll hold my breath until he gives me what I'm asking for - and if people die, so be it". Constructive right?

[ok_cpu]

19. It's not about Cuomo pacifying tRump

It's about tRump demanding it in order to help Americans.

[HotTeaBag]

20. Yeah, I know.

Thanks.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

3. I noticed that too. He's only doing it for the people of NY State.😷

[shockey80]

4. I knew that a long time ago.

It's fucking disgusting but they have to do it.

[global1]

5. And This Is The Way Trump Gets You In His Clutches.....

It works every time for him. No one -- stands up to this bully and stops him in his tracks.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. "No one -- stands up to this bully and stops him in his tracks"

As an example, post #2 says we shouldn't do that.

[happy feet]

22. +1,000,000

I applaud Cuomo for changing tone to save lives of his constituents---but agree that's why Trump always comes out on top...never held to account for his failures, he declares he's perfect/winning inspite of everyone else tip toeing around him and doing the heavy lifting---then will blame Cuomo and others for not doing their jobs...why his poll numbers are up. The consummate con man/wizard of oz.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

8. This from the same bone head who said

"a president in command of facts"

The day the media went nuts on Trump's so called tone change.

But

Trump as usual will use this to his advantage.

[LastDemocratInSC]

10. It's like the Godfather scene where the undertaker wants Corleone to rough up the guys...

... who attacked his daughter. The Don says "Why do you come to me for this when you have never invited me to your home for coffee?" Only when the undertaker pledges his loyalty does Corleone agree to dispense "justice".

I think for every thing Trump has done for the last 3 years there's a corresponding scene in the Godfather movie.

[Hugin]

14. The Trump mafia has realized they are killing people that would vote against them in Nov.

So, they see a non-response as a win-win for them.

IT'S ALL ABOUT RE-ELECTION!

Of course, Moscow Mitch will back them up... After all, Trump's re-election is in the National interest. As, was established by the GOP Senate 'acquittal'.

[gldstwmn]

16. The governor of New Jersey did the same thing

last night on CNN. They nearly have to beg for the lives of their citizens.

[Bengus81]

18. Calling it a HOAX by Dems a month ago now KISS his fat ass to get help?

And then CNN reports that 60% (Gallup) think Trump is doing a great job concerning the CV?? So basically 15% that voted for Clinton LIKE his response so far?

My Gawd..............

21. Read this in a book the other day...

"Abnormality sends out invisible waves that touch the people within its range.
One seriously disturbed personality could sensitize others and make them behave abnormally too."
