Cuomo faces new calls to resign as harassment investigation looms
Anna Ruch, 33, told the New York Times that she had never met the governor before, yet he still put his hand on her bare back, clasped her head in his hands and said: “Can I kiss you?”...
The Times published a photograph accompanying its report which shows Cuomo looking down at Ruch with her head between his hands. According to the paper the photo was taken on Ruch’s own cellphone by a friend.
Prof Ginsberg says "whoppers" that lead to military action are the most harmful of all, and that Trump is not as blame-worthy as some of his predecessors in this respect.
The political science lecturer at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore adds: "The problem is the American presidential selection process is fundamentally flawed and produces monsters.
"It requires years of campaigning, and only the most arrogant, ambitious and narcissistic individuals would possibly be willing to do such a thing."
The ‘Shared Psychosis’ of Donald Trump and His Loyalists
Forensic psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee explains the outgoing president’s pathological appeal and how to wean people from it.
...Lee and her colleagues strongly rejected the American Psychiatric Association’s modification of a 1970s-era guideline, known as the Goldwater rule, that discouraged psychiatrists from giving a professional opinion about public figures who they have not examined in person. “Whenever the Goldwater rule is mentioned, we should refer back to the Declaration of Geneva, which mandates that physicians speak up against destructive governments,” Lee says. “This declaration was created in response to the experience of Nazism.”
In regards with weaning, it looks like I share my doubts with Randall Munroe
Using the data set of lifetimes of 41 empires from 3,000BCE to 600 CE (see Appendix), I found that imperial life-times can be fit to an exponential distribution,λ=e−λt, with a parameter value of λ=0.46 and an expected mean imperial lifetime of approximately 220 years (see figure 1)

Cuomo makes a romantic request that isn't reciprocated, and people want him out? For being a normal male???
On the other hand, he forced nursing homes to accept COVID-19 patients and then he lied to the federal government (because Trump) about the case numbers in New York. We're just going to let that slide; it's totally fine to kill grandma. (because Trump?)
All presidents are arrogant, ambitious and narcissistic individuals. It's been that way for at least 60 years. Oh well. This does not affect us negatively. We should be more concerned with the blackmail (Gislane Maxwell was Epstein's handler for the Mossad and they have all the video), the foreign payments (Burisma, multiple currently ongoing Chinese "investments" that pay really well, etc.), and the connections to union leadership (organized crime).
If we're going to throw out the Goldwater rule, we need to start by admitting that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden both have serious medical problems. They both had major brain surgery. Clinton loses muscle control. She wears a brace and sometimes has to be held up. Joe Biden has sundown syndrome, a sign of dementia. He often slurs his speech. He doesn't act the way he used to act as a senator, now being prone to outbursts that are like the ones seen in elderly people with problems.
Nah, can't do that. Nearly all psychologists are ctrl-left. The education system filters out the non-left.

Asking to kiss her was a romantic request. Clasping her head in his hands was the normally weird behavior of a standard politician. It's like kissing babies, having to eat the corndog at the state fair, and asking the opponent to apologize. No, I don't like it, but it is 100% normal for a US politician. Nothing unusual or alarming happened, even if it is distasteful to some.
He's in office, isn't he? So we did just let it slide that he sent COVID-19 patients into nursing homes. We knew that a long time ago. I suppose it is more recently revealed that he lied to the federal government about case numbers, so it may be premature to say that we'll let that slide... but you know we will.
I saw no examples of a problem due to "arrogant, ambitious and narcissistic individuals". I saw complaints, but none that could be traced to those attributes. Somebody with the opposite attributes, if allowed to be president, could easily take the same actions. If anything, "arrogant, ambitious and narcissistic individuals" are probably better qualified to do the job. (beyond just getting elected) We need presidents who won't just sit idle while China eats our lunch. Somebody determined to be the hero who saves America from that fate is exactly what we need. If earning a huge chapter in every history book is a motivating factor, so what? Any motivation that gets the job done is good.
We need to start with Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden because anything else is absurdly biased. We need to talk about the serious problems before wondering about unsubstantiated concerns. Those two literally had brain surgery, and thus had no business running for president. They are showing actual symptoms of brain trouble, going well beyond any opinion one may have on demeanor or values.

Taxing corporations just taxes the people, secretly. Corporations cover the tax costs by cutting wages, raising prices, and reducing quality. Outside of monopoly-like situations, corporations aren't raking in piles of cash for big evil rich people. Corporations in a competitive market have very little profit. What little profit they do have is often sent back to the people in the form of dividends paid to things like retirement funds. Even the "little people" like unionized public school teachers are getting those dividends.
Democrats like taxing corporations because the people don't see it. People get mad at the corporation for cutting pay or raising prices. They don't get mad at the democrat politicians who voted for the corporate taxes that are the cause. It's sneaky. People would vote differently if they could understand what is happening.
Tariffs are a transaction tax. It doesn't matter who hands over the money, because the price will adjust so that the cost is split according to elasticity of supply and elasticity of demand. In the case of Trump's tariffs on China, a European economic group (having no dog in the fight) judged that China bore 81% of the tariffs. To avoid being idle while paying loans and management, Chinese factories dropped their prices. (LOL, OK, Europe benefits from that!) China paying taxes to the USA is great for the USA. Other taxes can be cut, keeping the tax income constant while reducing the total tax burden on Americans. An extra benefit is that jobs move back to the USA. This is particularly important because automation is also killing jobs. For every job killed by automation, we need to swipe a job from China.
Your image link is quite silly. Of course American companies were happy to outsource. It's the job of the president, with tariffs, to limit that. Telling the corporations "be nice please" isn't going to get anywhere. It takes a child-like understanding of the world to direct anger at the corporations instead of at the enablers in government.

That's a nice theory. Almost as believable as Google's "don't be evil". Or as "trickle down economy". Or that "there can exist a free market without government intervention". (or, indeed, that "money and time is all you need to describe an economy and everything needs to be geared towards maximizing profit", but I digress)
Doesn't fit the "corporations exported the jobs to China, pocketed the profit and let the Americans hang high and dry" reality, is it?
With the notes that:
1. whatever gets to them often doesn't seem to be enough, especially when it comes to make a living at retirement age
2. it's not like imposing tariffs and lowering taxes would be the only solution to achieve "retirement funds" for the people, if that's a solution at all.
Or they understand it better than you do. For example, Trump's "tax reform" means a budget deficit that would be mostly paid by Joe Average people but profited from by the top money suckers [taxpolicycenter.org] (see page 2 and beyond), and the contribution to taxes dropped in the two consecutive years after the act [cbo.gov] (corona impact excluded).

When you say "corporations exported the jobs to China, pocketed the profit and let the Americans hang high and dry", what specifically do you mean by "pocketed"?
Nearly all of them are public corporations. They pay salaries and dividends. You can complain that executive pay is high, but that is a natural consequence of companies being too large. (neither party does anything about that) The dividends really do end up in things like retirement benefits for unionized public school teachers. Why do you hate the teachers?
The fact that jobs were exported to China is very bad. Tariffs are the fix.
The "problem" with Trump's tax reform is that democrats wouldn't cooperate, so it had to be revenue-neutral. Republicans did that by helping Joe Average only in the short term, assuming that the benefit for Joe Average could be extended at some future time. That worked previously, with the Bush cuts, so it wasn't insane. Right after Trump's tax reform, Bernie Sanders tweeted out your talking point, and Ted Cruz responded by asking Bernie Sanders to co-sponsor legislation to make the cuts permanent for Joe Average. That got silence, because democrats like Bernie Sanders don't actually want to help Joe Average.
So, just take Ted Cruz up on the offer. Hmmm? Why do you hate Joe Average?

So where, pray tell, did you want to send the older folks that were recovering from Covid in the hospital...when it was time for them to leave the hospital. Keep in mind that many doctors over the years have said that a hospital is no place to recover.
In the NYCity area that was so hard hit about a year ago, the hospitals filled up pretty quickly, people that weren't so badly off and looked like they were recovering had to be shipped out to somewhere. While not ideal, nursing homes are the normal place that patients are sent for rehab. The better nursing homes (there are some, sadly not enough) are pretty good at infection control, for example they routinely quarantine a ward or wing when someone comes down with something infectious.

Um, nice try, but I'm fairly certain that converting any of the spaces you mention would have taken much too long--at the time when the NY City area hospitals were filling up.
For example, every nursing home I've been in has oxygen plumbed direct to the wall behind every bed--and even if they were recovering I'm willing to bet a few bucks that most of those discharged from hospital still needed supplemental O2 while their lungs recovered. Then there is the question of staffing, special kitchen, and in-house pharmacy for all the other meds that many of these patients were probably on, even before they caught Covid.
Cuomo probably could have done things a little better, but he was up against the wall. One 20-20 hindsight thought I just had was to insist that nursing homes move residents around so that they could open up a wing and make it 100% recovering-Covid. That could have helped, maybe, but at that early date no one knew just how amazingly contagious it is, so untrained support staff and outside suppliers (making deliveries inside nursing homes) could have still been unwitting spreaders.

The ship eventually left New York due to lack of patients. There never were that many sick people in need of care, unless you count the ones that Cuomo hid in nursing homes. The ship was provided and it went unused. We had no shortage in New York. The problem was Cuomo.
