Cracks appearing in the Brooklyn GOP edifice complex


“REPUBLICAN PARTY STRUCTURE… ???   WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ REPUBLICAN PARTY STRUCTURE... !!!" 


---  OR ---  WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE;  AND WHO’S YOUR DADDY  ?????


AND BTW,  HOW DOES ANYBODY EXPLAIN THE APPARENT >>> MAJOR DISCONNECT <<<  IN POSSIBLY THE KEY EDs IN THE 2017 CITY COUNCIL RACE ?????



A few things here in Brooklyn have been brought to my attention that to some might be very interesting.  ---  First,  how did John Q. do in those parts of the 43rd Council District that overlapped Nicole’s Assembly District ?   Second,  can anybody come up with a good GOP reason why Craig Eaton is on the Justin Brannan transition team. 
 
The “Kings County Politics” blog sure as hell didn’t bury their lead on this story,  since their headline blasts out  ---  “Brannan Transition Team Includes Golden GOP Adversary” and puts it under a banner entitled “Pure Politics”…..  (See “Brannan Transition Team Includes Golden GOP Adversary”  by Kadia Goba,  11/17/17,  Kings County Politics/  Pure Politics   [https://www.kingscountypolitics.com/brannan-transition-team-includes-golden-gop-adversary/]).

Sing out, brothers and sisters, and clap those hands really loud:    “[Clap--clap--clap]  Oh my ---  my !!!   Oh my, my….  mmmmn !!!   Oh my ---  my !!!   Oh my, my….”

The Eaton-Brannan (or is it Brannan-Eaton ???) thing surely looks like an “In your face, Marty…”  kind of move.  At least that’s how it looks to yours truly;   but, hey,  what do I know or care about any of it;  I’m on the verge of becoming a full-time Floridian, drinkin’ mimosas and Irish coffee at the Beach Bucket every day with my Sweetie Pie,  and listening to Ronstadt do “Blue Bayou,”  Don McLean doin’ all his own stuff and other much older oldies by various artists,  far too numerous to mention (but, so far, no Jerry Vale).

THE BIG DISCONNECT

Now, this is something that’s needs some real deep drilling by somebody more in the know than I.  ---  Do the results for Nicole Malliotakis and John Quaglione in the Bay Ridge EDs of the 64th  AD add-up,  match-up, link-up  or any-other-up you can think of,  other than the obvious  >>> f**k-up <<<   ?????

Isn’t there something really wrong there ?????    Can Jerry Kassar explain this  >>> anomalous <<<  result ?????

As for the Eaton transition appointment, I heard that Brannan reached across the aisle and also has Dave Ryan from the Kings County Cons Party on his transition committee.

I guess Brannan is looking to unite all parties for the betterment of the community at large. A smart move for a new Councilman. And since he has a 4 year term he will be there for quite a while. Q can never take him out now. That seat is lost forever to the Dems.

Eaton's selection was smart since he was the former Pres of St Anselms Youth Program and was the Chair of CB 10 before heading the GOP.

Q can come up with whatever conspiracy theories he wants. The truth is he was a horrible ambien candidate and lost because of his connection to the old drunk.

I hope Cats never has any intention of running again for anything- his henchmen Eaton & Capano clearly helping Dem Brannan..Republicans dont forget

Republicans dont forget !!

WTF do they have to remember?

Anonymous said...

Golden and Kassar sure better hope that Cats has indeed forgotten with what vitriol they attacked him when he ran for Mayor in 2013. Otherwise look for his general election opponent to be well funded. Time to start begging for forgiveness.

Anonymous said...

oh yeah. Cats really ran circles around Golden in his 2014 and 2016 races. All Marty has to do is pose for a picture with that fat fuck and all is forgotten.

Golden hasn't had a real race in a while, Cats didn't become a billionaire by throwing money away. If Golden gets a legitimate opponent and Cats raises money no amount of pictures Golden takes will save him.

Anonymous said...

The Eaton-Capano-Brannan cabal is real. Quaglione and Mccabe are yesterday's news.

Cats didnt become a billionaire by wasting his time with local politics.

But maybe i am wrong. Maybe the way to become a billionare is by getting into big time stuff like the 68th pct do nothing council or st anselems youth bs. To some the 8th grade was the high point in life.

Did anybody hear the story about how John Q screwed over the Board of Directors at St. Anselm or is that one still a secret?

Anonymous said...

I hear Ed Cox will be calling John Cats tomorrow about Eaton helping Brannan here.

And I know Ed Cox couldn't care less and even if he did call Eaton couldn't care less.

3:12 Expand on how John Q screwed over them???

Wow Eaton is on Justins transition team. Does it get any better than that?

Item 1 on Golden's 2018 agenda: openly throw John Quaglione under the bus over the women having abortions being "... BARBARIANS" remark ASAP. If Marty doesn't do that in one quick hurry, he'll have to answer whether he agrees with his communications manager about that whole concept.

After that Marty will have to answer this: DOES HE THINK THAT WOMEN WHO THROW LIVING BABIES INTO THE TRASH TO DIE ARE MORE LIKE MOTHER TERESA OR PHILADELPHIA ABORTIONIST KERMIT GOSNELL?

Or maybe Marty can answer this even simpler question: ARE WOMEN WHO THROW LIVING BABIES INTO THE TRASH TO DIE MORE LIKE BARBARIANS THAN WOMEN WHO HAVE ABORTIONS LIKE JOHN QUAGLIONE SAID?

Marty, if John Q. ain't under that bus, you will be.

6:36 PM.... A week before the General election a horde of pissed off ex-St Anselm board members were burning up the phone lines talking to anyone who would listen about Quaglione's blundering leadership and financial hocus-pocus. Let's just say I'm sure we will be hearing more about it soon enough. Whole world knows they made John Q "chairman of the board" at St. Ans so the poor guy would have ((something)) on his resume besides his 19 years working for the Boiled Goose but now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost

Transition team for a city councilman. What does that mean? are there any urgent names of street that need a change?

Anonymous at 10:04 PM knows if Liam McCabe won and immediately formed a transition unit, we would all be sayin it was best idea since sliced bread. Give it a rest there ain't nothing y'all are saying that we haven't heard before

You people don't know the most important thing about any race against Marty Golden in 2018, how much are the Dems willing to spend; and right now, that doesn't look like very much. DEMOCRAT polling in Marty's district shows that he has prohibitively high positives, and that means he's lower on the targeting list than some other targeted Republicans.

Anonymous said...

Now lets put our egos aside and look at this rationally.

On a community and councilmatic side, adding Craig Eaton to the transition team was a brilliant move. Contrary to all the conspiracy theorists and paranoid delusions of the responders above, he has the perfect pedigree (resume for the idiots) to be a member of the team - he can check all the boxes. Former St Anselm YA Pres (a large Parish in the District) Former Chair of CB 10 Zoning Committee & Former Chair of CB 10 (the most active outspoken CB District in Brooklyn), a Member of many Boards of philanthropic organizations and a practising attorney. Very Good!

Even funnier, is that judging from the posts on this site, on the political side, it appears to be driving Marty Golden, JQ and their entire team and crazzzzy!
Priceless!!!!!!

Lets be real. Eaton is a smart guy. Afterall you have to be in order to be able to afford a house on Harbor View Terrace, the crown jewel of Bay Ridge blocks. I was at an event at his house last year and it is amazing.

I guess he was asked, and the opportunity presented itself and it was smart to accept.

End of story.

9:36pm I think many would want to know about the boards financial hocus pocus.

Anonymous said...

(8:22 PM, again) If Marty doesn't fix his Quaglione-abortion problem in one quick hurry, his 'prohibitively high positives' (7:29 AM) will be dropping like a stone in an empty well with a big Marty splash at the end.

By the way, does MARCH OF DIMES know that their guy in Brooklyn, John Quaglione, calls women that have abortions "barbarians"?

Anonymous said...

Does anyone think Craig even knows he is just a name on the committee so Brannan can say he has a Republican on it and will have no real input while Cox and company get Cats to ban him from his universe..Cox is calling Cats later I hear..very sad and bas move by Craig in his flimsy attempt to show up Golden.

Anonymous said...

Kassar gets people jobs, let's see if Craig has any real influence and is able to get one Republican a job on Brannan staff...doubt it

Anonymous said...

Talk about a "setting up a straw man" argument!

Anonymous said...

Kassar gets people jobs in the process of wrecking political careers like Malliotakis and Quaglione and those are just the recent examples.

Anonymous said...

Cox sided with Ghorra and Kassar and now regrets it enormously. They both embarrassed him recently and Craig looks like a genius because of what took place behind the scenes on several campaigns where Ghorra and Kassar were involved.

Anonymous said...

1042 am..can you include one link of an article that shows Cox regretting siding with Ghorra and Kassar???????

Anonymous said...

Well Eaton on Brannan transition committee..how nice..not that we need any more proof that a deal was made between Brannan, Eaton, Catsimatedes and Capano for Capano to stay in race..
Everyone knows Cats could have got Capano out of race but didn't to screw the Rep candidate

Anonymous said...

12:59 PM is obviously John Quag

Anonymous said...

220 no it's not and if you think John Cats hasn't been told Eaton and Capano actions have disqualified him from running for anything as a rep in NYS your nuts

Anonymous said...

Folks, Brannan won and he is now the councilmember-elect for the 43rd District. I don't see anything wrong with Craig Eaton, esq. joining the transition team. It's a smart move. Cats supports winners. Brannan is the winner. Nothing wrong with supporting the winner

Anonymous said...

645 is correct - Eaton is a smart political player. He is supporting the winning council candidate who will be there for at least 8 years. Nothing wrong with that.

Golden, Q., Kassar, Malliotakis....they all lost...they are toast....bunrt toast my friends.

Anonymous said...

To 10:45 after what happened in the last two weeks leading up to the election, even Golden loyalists realize Kassar shouldn't be let anywhere near a viable campaign--Election Day they nearly had to call Cox and Long to mediate.

Anonymous said...

Quaglione griping about Capano is rich, after Quaglione bought off Capano to make sure he won the Primary against McCabe.

But Capano was a schnook, he never could have out-campaigned McCabe. But you didn't know until this day that it was Eaton all along.

Anonymous said...

359 You are clearly delusional or maybe just not that astute.

From what I see Eaton had nothing to do with Q's loss.

All these conspiracy theories that Eaton is to blame for Q's loss because he was selected to be on Brannan's Transition Team? I sure hope you guys dont work in law enforcement because you must have missed a few really important classes then.

That really makes a lot of sense.

One second here. I have read so many posts about Golden, Kassar and Ghorra coming out like BIG winners on election day., One post even had a scorecard.I cant find it but it was something like this:

It said Eaton, Lucretia, Arnaldo and some others "LOST" - But they werent even running for anything.

Then it said:

Golden Winner - of what? His boy lost? And the old drunk did 500 robocalls the last few days slurring his words and reading through a script like he had to run out of the bar;

Kassar Winner - of what? His boy and his girl both lost miserably? And his girl ddint even break 28 - Ouch!

Ghorra Winner - of what? ALL his candidates got destroyed!!!!!!! Most got less than 10% and not ONE victory among the crew of losers.

RESPONSE: THE "THEORY OF 'IT WAS EATON ALL ALONG'..." EDITION'

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:59 AM" & "... AT 4:49 AM"

I HOPE YOU FOLKS ARE DOIN' MORE'N TRASH TALKIN'


The proposition of Eaton's being "Geppetto" to Capano's "Pinocchio" --- or even better "Svengali" to Capano's "Trilby" is indeed intriguing; and it could make for interesting conversation over adult beverages, especially if you're buyin'.....

However, based on a series of my conversations with one of the real-life principals; beginning some time in late 2015, Eaton was being played like a fish on a line, until quite late into the game. Once Craig was "all in," however, he played a key role and was, to some extent, a decision maker in the Capano campaign.

If you want to look for a real "Svengali" in this piece, turn your gaze on the guy who usually wears a red beret..... (BTW, some ruggedly handsome men look very good wearing berets --- ["Put silver wings on my son's chest.... Make him one of America's best"])

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 5:23 AM"

I'M NOT FIGHTING OUT OF GOLDEN, GHORRA'S AND/OR KASSAR'S CORNER HERE; OR EVEN ARGUING THE MERITS OF THEIR POSITIONS --- BUT.....


The scorecard to which you might be referring was mine..... AND IT REFERRED TO THIS YEAR'S GOP ORGANIZATIONAL PRIMARY(IES) AND THE ENSUING GOP COUNTY CONVENTION; and on anybody's scorecard, it was unanimous for Golden and Ghorra (and by obvious association [and backroom skullduggery], Jerry Kassar). And some of the folks that you mentioned had been RUNNING FOR SOMETHING at the relevant time in question.

On t witter yesterday Quaglione is griping about Capano costing him election and Eaton being on transition committee..really, take a look..very sad for Q

Anonymous said...

I feel bad for The "Q" Man. I heard The "Q" Man has been spending many lonely nights locked in his GMC Acadia smoking cheap cigars parked outside Marty's office. I do hope The "Q" Man gets the help he needs. I'm sure someone would hire him out of Golden's office...... 20 years of experience holding the door open at Gino's waiting for Kassar to shuffle in wearing his velcro Softspots™ must mean something to a hiring manager somewhere on God's Green

Quaglione had the wind in his sails. he had name recognition from 2013 vs Gentile and his many years as a top aide to Golden; Quaglione also had a Democrat mayor who is universally hated and he had Nicole's ardent support deep in her own assembly district. yet, in spite of these tailwinds, Quaglione still couldn't put it together and he is now a two-time loser. Quaglione attempting to assign blame anywhere but to the man in the mirror would be the punchline of a bad joke
