Maybe you exploiting other people’s personal issues as a means to take a jab at another poster is actually the shitty behavior here. You literally brought these things up then pointed a finger at me like I did.
I had a Bug, Fast Back, Bus & Manx dune buggy. Loved my Bus and had super times all up and down CA/OR coast in it.
My buddy in high school had one and we had a lot of fun with that thing........another friend I had had me help him drive a VW bug from Chicago to San Diego....that was the hardest cross country trip I ever made...bugs don't handle the wind or the Rockies very well.
I'll delete it since you find it personal....being a boomer who has a hard on for dick pills I should fall in line eh? Veiling insults though is great behavior then....gotcha....ask Lanny if I was exploiting his medical condition...if he thinks I was....I'll apologize to him....I must be getting cranky seeing as how my dick pills are late this month...go figure...and even after I bought all those damned Moderna stocks! (disclaimer....none of this is serious by any means....I need to clarify I guess or it'll rattle a cage or two)
I'm not shootin' pool with a rope yet but eventually we all slack off with age. Honestly I've never tried those pills...no reason...I have found a half dozen oysters on the half shell works wonders though...
And yet blue states still contribute $2 for every $1 to the U.S. Treasury. Why is that? More votes, more taxes and yet Trump still wants to make our country a dynasty.

Andrew Cuomo Skates, Avoids ALL Criminal Charges. Elites Will Always Protect Their Own. Biden's administration is letting Cuomo off the hook. It seems to be fine for the left to quietly protect their own, yet when the right does the same, shit hits the fan. Both parties hypocrisies are blatant, yet both sides do nothing more than defend their own, as their own party's corruption goes unchecked... It is no wonder America is in the state that it is currently in. The river "Denial" runs through both parties.
Guantanamo Turns 20: Ex-Prisoner Moazzam Begg Calls on Biden to Close Site & End Legacy of Torture. Biden says he wants to close Guantanamo, yet seems to be making plans to keep it open forever.
What exactly was Cuomo accused of in which he should be charged with something? I haven't been keeping up the Cuomo's or their bad behavior, but a quick review of the wiki page seems to hold to my memory that he's accused of sexual harassment. I am certainly not condoning his behavior, but what kind of charge could he plausibly be charged with for this accusation? I am not a lawyer so I don't know, but I can't think of anything in which he could legally be hit with here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cuomo_sexual_harassment_allegations That said your continued narrative about with the two primary American parties is inaccurate, it's what is called a false equivalence. They aren't the same, and neither is their response. Lets review an example I can think of off the top of my head of both the accusations and the parties responses. Republican accusation: Matt Gaetz has been accused of statutory rape and trafficking a minor across state lines with very credible and lengthy amounts of evidence. Republican party response: Nothing, literally nothing, not even a condemnation. Democratic accusation: From what I recall, and please correct me if I am wrong, Cuomo was sexually harassing women. Democratic response: Approval and support of an independent investigation, party driven impeachment trials within NY state, and eventually forcing Cuomo to resign. Obviously not every single situation is the same, but this is generally the case right now and serves as useful examples of how each of the primary parties respond to such things. You're correct in stating both behaviors are bad, and both should not be tolerated I totally agree on that. But the whole narrative of "Both parties are bad, both parties are corrupt, both parties protect each other" you are always pushing does not pass the smell test here or in the vast majority of these examples. It is pretty much flat out false by virtually every measure, these two things are not the same, nor is the party response to them the same.
About time. Guess he was waiting for Manchin to experience modern bipartisanship first before he put too much pressure on him to change the filibuster. To any reasonable person outside of West Virginia it is obvious to all of us, but Manchin has to do his politicking for his base back home.
Sure, Andrew may not deserve jail time for harassment, but IMO he does for lying about it after the fact. Though, the Biden administration already let Cuomo off the hook for his handling of all those nursing home deaths. Andrew should be in jail for what he did there. Instead he got protected by his party. People seem to be overlooking this fact. Chris Cuomo got himself fired from CNN for helping Andrew. Do people still trust CNN? No need to answer, since that answer is... of course they do. The two parties protect their own. And so do their media.
You're no longer being consistent on your original statement, you said he should be charged for what he did and linked to an article about his sexual harassment complaints. You may not have explicitly stated this, but you implicitly implied that the Democrats are letting him get away with something here that he should be charged with. You're moving the goal posts instead of addressing my original statement and point, the parties handle such things differently period there is mountains of evidence on this. There's a reason for why Andrew Cuomo is no longer an active Democratic politician, and why Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump still are - it's their party. One party holds their own accountable, the other does not. This is the same for CNN versus say the obvious of Fox - CNN has many faults, but the at least attempt to use their best judgement to handle issues that arise within their company using journalistic principles and practices. CNN can't see into the future and see that Chris Cuomo is going to go rogue, but once he had done something that was against said standard journalistic principles the only recourse they can do after the fact is to terminate him... Which they did. Your own example disproves your own point. Look at Fox and see that Tucker Carlson is continuing to lie and push Republican narratives that have no basis in reality or observable facts to see how these two companies handle things, well, differently. Again it's a false equivalency.
As for the nursing home fiasco, as far as I know and can find the FBI is still investigating this. Do you have more up to date information on what's going on with this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_COVID-19_nursing_home_scandal https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/19/andrew-cuomo-fbi-donors-nursing-homes
