Somebody says they want to stay out of politics then immediately announces their political affiliation.

That’s not how you do it. I didn’t announce my politics on arrival here.

Yup!

the political ideology factor
Such a weird charge here. As I noted earlier, in my reading (which is a lot) I have seen not a single defense or justification of Cuomo (a Democrat) from folks on the political left. Not one. And the universal opinion so far at least is that he should resign. As a leftie, I find this gratifying. And as also noted earlier, this all follows a deep and long investigation by a state AG.

On several occasions the left has asked offenders to exit politics...and have demanded that it be done.

On the right...they defend the offenders.

Gotta stop that crap.

Both parties ignore sexual transgressions by their members when it suits their purposes. Sometimes someone pays, but not always.

Well, hell... they defended Trump (who is the absolute worst of them all), and still are (some of them). I don't think I would be a Republican were I an American, but what has happened to that party in recent years is telling... and a damned shame.

Yes, those are the general tendencies.

If you arent under contract with reasons for dismissal spelled out then an employer can pretty much let you go for anything

That's right. But that conflicts your earlier statement that Ailes should not have been let go (or any other of the Fox employees I named who were also let go for sexual misbehaviors at work).

and i dont favor the govt forcing anything.

Like forcing people to stop at stop signs? Or forcing home builders to wire a home safely? Or forcing structural engineers to gain proper accreditation? Or forcing brain surgeons to go to medical college? Or forcing citizens to be sober when driving on city streets?

You make so much sense ... I'd hate to have to argue that common sense you just wrote. Hopefully, for entertainment value, someone will come along and do it.

Of course, people still ride motorbikes without helmets, go boating without life jackets, don't wear seatbelts, and speed through pedestrian crossings.

There's no reply I might make that would approach the quality of GB's response.

@Region Philbis,

Yeah, just saw that. New York is overdue for a female governor.

@blatham,

No, It doesnt conflict. Me saying Ailes or anyone else shouldnt be let go due to unproven allegations has no effect on what Fox or any business is going to do.

Second, I stand by my view that govt shouldnt force anything. Most of what you stated are laws passed legally. I may or may not agree with them.

@blatham,

Yes, a conservative female governor.

I believe they didn't care what Cuomo does until he showed weakness in the polls. Got to protect that Democratic majority.

That's obviously true. And irrelevant.

Who makes those legally established and enforced laws that enjoin or constrain (force) certain behaviors? Trans-dimensional unelected space aliens?

Does your cynicism apply to all nations' governments, Edgar? Does anyone anywhere do it right?

Not very often.

That skips over the question. If it's so difficult to find examples, one would be tempted to think you don't actually believe good governance is a feature of the world.
