Cuomo appears to have broken his own policy/State Law

In regards to Ms. Bennett's case, he appears to be in violation of legislation he put in place


A NATION-LEADING ANTI-SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGENDA

Governor Cuomo and New York State are leading the nation with new laws to combat sexual harassment in the workplace. On August 12, 2019, Governor Cuomo signed legislation that strengthened protections against discrimination and harassment under the New York State Human Rights Law. These protections supplement the laws that the Governor signed in April 2019 as part of his 2019 Women's Agenda.

New Protections from Harassment
The Human Rights Law now protects victims of harassment, including sexual harassment, in important new ways such as ensuring that harassment does not need to be severe or pervasive to be against the law.


Cuomo says he was joking.
At work sometimes I think I am being playful and make jokes that I think are funny.

What does the law have to say about that?

From the FAQ Section

3. The copier repair person always makes sexual jokes which are upsetting to me. My boss says that she can’t do anything about it.

A3. Your employer is required to provide a workplace free from sexual harassment, regardless of who the harasser is

Aww Suki! Its gonna get ugly. Sgt Marcus Flowers' new campaign video. MTG's democratic opponent

How long before the scary black man rhetoric rears its ugly head? Given how racist his district is, I don't know how much of a shot he's got,but I like taking the fight straight to this wanna be bully.

It's so fitting that Renee Montgomery helped rid the WNBA of Kelly Loeffler

You lose again, Kelly Loeffler. You will not be missed, most certainly not by WNBA players.

On Friday, the WNBA announced that the sale of the Atlanta Dream had been finalized, and that the primary owner is Larry Gottesdiener, founder and chairman of Northland, a Massachusetts-based real estate development company.
The two other members of the ownership group are Suzanne Abair, Northland's president and COO, and ... former Dream player Renee Montgomery.

There is something so satisfying about a Black woman being part of the ownership group, so delicious that it is one of the players Loeffler openly disparaged during her futile campaign to win the U.S. Senate seat she had temporarily held for Georgia. Loeffler expressed disgust that WNBA players were so vocal about demanding recognition of their full humanity (aka "Black lives matter&quot as she — wait for it — used them as political pawns in her ultimately losing quest to retain that seat.

And now, not only did WNBA players play a significant role in Loeffler losing to Rev. Raphael Warnock, a WNBA player is part of the group that bought the Dream from Loeffler, ending a shameful era in the ascending league's history. It bears repeating what a stroke of genius it was to turn their attention away from rightfully complaining about Loeffler's racist, homophobic stances and toward supporting one of her potential opponents.

Rachel's report on woman accused of stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop - Video of her saluting Hitler

I am so disgusted. I seriously felt nauseated. I could feel the bile backing up in my throat.

I need people to stop acting as if these traitors were just doing cosplay.

Interesting discussion on Anderson Cooper. Making money from Hate

Focused on people at the top of these hate groups and the amount of money they are making pushing their hate and conspiracies.
It was mentioned that there was a CEO making thousands of dollars a day to collect "q drops". Another woman " interpreting Q and Trump" getting massive donations. Some of these donations were sent to defend Flynn.

You really have to be a monster to be a republican - GA Bill to prevent voters from getting food

I heard about their voter suppression bill a few days ago. I wasn't surprised that they would go after Sunday voting to try to suppress black voters, wasn't surprised about voter ID, but I am taken aback that they want to make it illegal to give food to people waiting in long lines.

In addition to banning Sunday voting, the bill would also make it illegal to hand out food and drinks to voters stuck in long polling place lines and would mandate that "absentee ballot drop boxes could only be located inside in-person early voting sites during working hours."

I guess Facebook can take down stuff! Said on MSNBC - Re: Facebook shutting off news in Australia

They can't seem to find a way to shut off Racists, Covid deniers, Vaccine Deniers, Climate Deniers - It took insurrection for them to do "try" to do something about trump and qanon.

Don't forget Lyin Ted said he had an obligation to his voters when it came to the big Lie

So the obligation to voters only applies when it comes to overthrowing the govt, disenfranchising black people.
No obligation to those same voters when they are freezing, hungry, dying due to a devastating storm?

Gee, how nice to have a president or his aides OFFER to send generators and other essentials

Does not declare they are " Our Generators" - As Kushner declared " our stockpile"
Or "Red states shouldn't get support because of bad management by their political leaders"

Someone made a thread about Mexico wanting to build the wall, Who knew??

Slimy Cruz would be the first to cross the border to seek refuge in Mexico
Here's what he said during his campaign

“A Cruz Administration’s first priority for immigration reform will be to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.” The site says Cruz “will build a wall that works” because “the unsecured border with Mexico invites illegal immigrants, criminals, and terrorists to tread on American soil. I will complete the wall.”
