If there were ever a perfect case study in politics, it’s Andrew Cuomo’s fall from grace and his universal shunning by those he thought were his biggest supporters. The phrase “political friends” is an oxymoron, after all. Politicians are in it for themselves, the power, and they don’t even have loyalty to constituents, let alone “friends.”
It’s cute, though, how Andrew Cuomo actually thought he HAD people in his political circles who he thought he could actually rely on when times got tough.
His answer?
“Nobody. It was tough. Traumatizing. Biden, a friend 20 years, not knowing details, immediately said about me, ‘He’s got to go.’ Biden had troubles years before and I stood by him. Gave him the benefit of the doubt. It was heartbreaking to see him trash me without reading one page, making one phone call.
He was traumatized and heartbroken, y’all.
But wait – there’s more:
“Pelosi? Please. I know her 30 years. Her daughter worked for me. Obama? He’s been tough. When troubles come you like to think you’re different. You’re not. Enemies and haters accumulate. Schumer, Gillibrand, pals working in the state, friends I respected, fell like dominos. Lose your power and heartless politicians read the tea leaves. You’re dead. Over. Pols grab another piece of meat. The phrase ‘political friends’ is an oxymoron.”
But never mind all the Democrat friends who abandoned him. He’s still a liberal Democrat, and because he has zero self-awareness, he thinks he can run again in four years (no, I’m not joking): “There are no term limits so I can make another go in four years. I’m someone who delivers. And who knows, could be there’s nobody to beat me. Also who knows — maybe by then I’ll be sweeter.”
I don’t know about y’all, but “sweetness” isn’t one of my top priorities for a politician. I just want you to get sh*t done and not infringe on my rights. And not kill my Grandmother. You know.
It seems that after all those years of “public service,” Cuomo is having a bit of a retrospective moment. Apparently, he feels as though he spent many days working when he should’ve been cultivating relationships in his life that actually matter. You know, like his family:
“Sorry I hadn’t more time for family. Working seven days a week cost me. I missed a lot of life. My wish now was that I should’ve been there more for them.”
He doesn’t seem THAT sorry, seeing as how he’s already eyeing another run in four years. These guys are so predictable.

I also wish that he would spill the beans on all those “friends” who he said had issues.
What a maroon!
I see what you did there, Bugs!!
