>>>>> Don't make me have to come back to NYC to kick Whiney Ratso Vito Bruno in the ass personally --- if he some how pulls his Speck Alto Adige out of the fire on Election Day <<<<<
For about three months Andy Gounardes and his well-financed campaign have been pounding Vito Bruno and his personal history of managing, promoting and owning a string of after-hours and night clubs that made money for Vito and even less savory people for decades by creating and facilitating an environment of wild and unprotected sex, drugs and drug-related violence at those after-hours and night clubs --- and that pounding was well-researched and well-produced high-end material.....
Remember that in 1983, Vito Bruno admitted to his part in a pattern of police corruption involving several Manhattan night clubs --- it was during a NY Times interview in which Bruno bragged about how generous he was in his payoffs to the cops
Since then, in March 2020, Vito Bruno was interviewed by the "Brooklyn Paper" and tacitly admitted to almost all of the serious charges put to him by that paper at that time
In addition, late in July of 2020, there was a very hard-hitting expose in the Daily News --- telling everybody what a bad person Vito Bruno had admitted to being in the past, and why that made it difficult for him to come across as a law & order GOP State Senate candidate now
Vito Bruno has never come close to publicly repenting about anything that he WAS or DONE or SAID in the past --- nothing close to a "Come to Jesus" moment for Vito --- quite the opposite, Vito still fondly remembers his days and nights and after-hours escapades in his club phase and "Outlaw" phase; and he brags about all of it still
In the meantime >>> we here at "The Brooklyn and Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" have been doing our own >>> intense fact-based personal pounding of Vito Bruno <<< but for a much longer period of ten or eleven months now. --- It was done on the cheap and was not high-end well-produced material >>> but that is and was no less well-researched, and no less accurate and authoritative.....
Then, we here at "The Brooklyn & Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" started trotting out some of the facts about the past of Vito Bruno; and eventually started calling him "Ratso" for readily apparent reasons..... (Many, many of Vito Bruno's business associates and direct competitors have gone to jail for everything from murder and other criminal homicides, to tax evasion, to police and public corruption, and on, and on, and on... but not Vito --- even when he publicly admitted to his own police corruption, the very same article stated he was not part of the Federal investigation of police corruption that was then still ongoing --- Yes sir, "Ratso" sure seems to fit.....)
Republicans need to keep being reminded that Vito Bruno WAS and still IS a guy that owns and is still proud of his background that includes this:
His start in the night clubs business was right here in the neighborhood very close to where he is now running for the NYS State Senate >>> that was "2001 Odyssey," six decades back in the 1970s --- with a movie that parodied and caricatured Itlos just like Vito and many others from Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurt [with Vito still making lots money off of it as recently 2017];
Years later, Vito graduated to the big time in Manhattan and he denigrated and decried outer-borough "Guidos with their unbuttoned shirts and gold chains" at his clubs --- instead he cultivated an "A-list" clientele, augmented by readily accessible drugs at his clubs --- and even when that business practice ended badly for Vito Bruno's most notable customer, John Belushi --- Vito used the event promotionally by putting himself into the middle of it with his interview by Bob Woodward, which was memorialized in Woodward's book about Belushi, "Wired";
That was only part of the problems at Vito Bruno's after-hours and night clubs in the 1980s. Along with the drugs came the drug-related gun violence, and that gun violence became part and parcel of the Hip-Hop culture and music that Vito featured and promoted at his and other clubs;
When the authorities started making the club business as practiced by Vito Bruno more and more difficult, Vito's business plan shifted away from the static clubs to a model of floating "Outlaw" parties and events that invaded many communities both in Manhattan and in the outer boroughs --- they too were hotly pursued by authorities as public nuisances in residential neighborhoods around the New York City;
THE DEMOCRATS KNOW IT --- AND THEY TALK ABOUT IT A LOT
Don't think that the Gounardes campaign and the Bay Ridge Dems don't know how to keep beating a drum once they've started >>> look at what they did to Marty Golden and his driving in 2018 <<< And trust me, they have so much more music to play against sex, drugs and rock'n'roll Ratso Vito Bruno --- and it all has a heavy drum beat and even maybe some cowbell on the radio and on TV.....
THINGS TO COME [NOT BY H.G. WELLS]
What is coming is that >>> the Democrats will weaponize the Vito Bruno fiasco and use it again and again against other Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party candidates, it started in 2020, but it won't end there. It will continue into the 2021 municipal races <<< They intend for Ratso Vito Bruno to be the gift that keeps on giving for years to come.....

How many times will the Republicans employ the same old tired morality "law and order" play-book before they realise it's not working? Nicole has spent $18 million on it. If she loses, can we finally admit we need a new play-book?
You may be right. But I’m still voting for Vito on Tuesday. Gournades has been a tremendous let down.
Yes I agree. Lets hope all the republicans lose and all the democrats win.
I walked over to FHHS just before early voting ended. The lines were long and all the people I spoke to are voting for vito and nicole. But maybe that was just me. I'm sure Max is doing well in staten island.
This censorship is unbelievable.
Let's go with a whole new GOP team in 2021. Of the people that ran in 2017, only Liam McCabe hasn't lost in a general election.
As for mayor, both John Catsimatidis and Curtis Sliwa are like overworn old tires, both of whom are terribly compromised and morally corrupt. A far better choice would be somebody like the "Money Honey," Bay Ridge's own Maria Bartiromo. However, Maria would have to establish a NYC pied a terre as her legal residence poste haste.
Only Liam McCabe hasn't lost in a general election and that's because he couldn't even scrape together a few hundred votes against John Q and the Artist Formerly Known As B.C.

UNDER SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, YOUR MERE MENTION OF THE INITIALS "B.C." WOULD HAVE EARNED YOU AND YOUR COMMENT A ONE WAY TICKET TO THE CENSORSHIP DUST BIN..... NONETHELESS, YOUR COMPOUND-COMPLEX AND POORLY PUNCTUATED SENTENCE PRESENTED ME WITH SO MANY POSSIBILITIES OF BASHING BOB CAPANO, HOW COULD I RESIST LETTING IT STAND SO THAT I COULD RESPOND
NEEDLESS TO SAY, LIAM MC CABE EASILY BEAT BOB CAPANO IN THE 2017 PRIMARY --- AND IF IT WERE A SIMPLER ONE-ON-ONE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, LIAM WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE SAME DEGREE OF A PASTING TO BOOBY BABY THAT HAPPENEND TO "B.C." IN 2017 AT THE HANDS OF JOHN QUAGLIONE
I AM GLAD THAT YOU REFERRED TO BOB CAPANO AS "... THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS B.C." --- BECAUSE BIB CAPANO IS AS MUCH AN "ARTIST" AS HE IS A "PROFESSOR," OR AS HE IS A PROFESSIONAL "JOURNALIST," OR AS HE IS A "BUSINESS EXECUTIVE" --- AND THAT IS NOT AT ALL
Let me quote Bob Capano to Bob Capano and his very few supporters --- "Ahahahahahaha !!!"
When Andy and Max lose the GOP will have new blood for 2021.
I did not know Vito Bruno was the president of the Edmund G. Seergy Republican Club but then again I had never heard of Vito Bruno or the Edmund G. Seergy Republican Club.

As John Q and Ted Gora were hosting a small poorly attended fundraiser for Nicole in his tiny little backyard, Chairman Eaton was just a few blocks away in his sprawling palatial estate hosting a massive fundraiser for Curtis Sliwa for mayor. I wish we had a leader like Eaton again.
I saw Quaglione bricking up his windows this morning. He is preparing for election day violence and riots on Colonial RD
This blog has done a pathetic job of tearing down all GOP candidates. Crap from the 80's is not going to help the left. Max marches with cop killers and Nicole has a united front from PBA.
Max now claims hes not backed by DiBlasio. I guess thats a different democratic party. Is that like Max was against impeachment before he voted for it?

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:43 AM"
THIS BLOG OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES --- FROM TOP TO BOTTOM THE MAIN WRITER ON THIS BLOG VOTED AN ALMOST STRAIGHT CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN TICKET
YOU ARE MAKING A CRYPTO-DEFENSE OF WHINEY RATSO VITO BRUNO --- WHO IS TRYING TO LIMP ACROSS THE FINISH LINE BY HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT AND/OR BEHIND NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS' SKIRTS --- THERE IS NO "CRAP FROM THE 80s" THAT ANYBODY HAS EVER RAISED AGAINST NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS, SHE WASN'T EVEN TEN YEARS OLD UNTIL 1990 --- ON THE OTHER HAND "CRAP FROM THE 80s" IS WHAT VITO BRUNO IS ALL ABOUT IT, IT'S HIS PERSONAL BRAND THAT HIS BUSINESS IS STILL PEDDLING RIGHT UP TO AND INCLUDING TODAY
Whiney complains and complains whenever anybody brings up his personal history in the context of his falsely claimed political pose as a social values "law & order" conservative Republican. --- But even now, when it comes to his business, Vito Bruno still touts his part in the very violent and very illegal practices in the sex, drugs & rock'n'roll after-hours and other night clubs, and the "Outlaw" parties and events that he sponsored around NYC after the police, and city, state and Federal agencies shut down Vito's clubs.
Ratso never repented or even much talked about HIS PART in all of the investigations of his businesses and/or the convictions of so many of his friends, mentors, colleagues, business associates and competitors in those businesses. Even Vito's apprentice, protege and successor as guru of the "Outlaw" scene wound up in prison convicted of the murder of the principal drug dealer in one of the clubs that had been run by Vito.
Like I said before, when a true community values "Law & Order" conservative Republican voter is faced with an absolute RINO candidate like Whiney Ratso Vito Bruno --- it is that voter's duty to reject Bruno the candidate absolutely and in every way possible. More than a duty, it is >>> A MORAL IMPERATIVE <<<
Galewyn Massey is unassailable yet again here in his latest proviso salvo. Our Barry Goldwater Richard Nixon law n' order dog whistles are getting old. People aren't falling for it any longer. Forbye, how can we as a Party run any candidate as a Bastion of Integrity and Truth if they have criminal records of their own that have been well publicized and boasted upon? Self reflection involves the examination, contemplation, and analysis of one's thoughts, feelings, and actions and it begins on Wednesday.
In 36 hours Vito will the Republican party in brooklyn. Elections have consequences.
In one day Vito will be the image of the new GOP in NY.
Nicole will be the national image of the new GOP.
Losers from the old days of GOP will be left behind to post comments about losers losing elections.
Oh what a night for Vito Bruno with Craig Eaton and Curtis Sliwa yesterday!
Ted will be in line for state chair after his trifecta victory.

All the people that fell in behind Vito Bruno will be on my hit list and they aren't going to like it one bit. Just ask Craig Eaton what that really will mean --- he knows it very well.....
Craig Eaton reigned as a great GOP chairman without GM support.
Nick Chambers is the new Brooklyn GOP kingmaker when Bruno wins tomorrow!
Nick Chambers had one job above all else, keep an eye on Ray Ranaletta. He blew that so badly, even the local papers called Nick "Chambles."
Its Chamberas. This happens often to illiterates.
Then why did the papers call him Chambles?
All real bklyn Republicans of all factions support Bruno. McCall is the exception and everyone sees it clearly now.
If Vito looses tomorrow it will be for one reason and one reason only: Ted Gorrah allowed Nico Shambles to run the campaign into the ground. All the creamed spinach at Ember's can't fix stupid.
4:06 gets all his inform fromm daily news
4:06 PM because everything he touches, he leaves in Chambles
Can anybody tell me who thought it was a good idea for Nicole to spend the final hours of Election Day Eve campaigning with Curtis Sliwa?
Stores in manhattan boarded up. It all changes with Vito and Nicole victory. It will usher in a GOP Mayor.
why does 4;06 have shit for brains?
Bruno and Nicole wanted to campaign with the next mayor in the final hours
.speaks volumes
I don't think that Curtis Sliwa can run on the high school equivalency ticket and get to City Hall. After being expelled from Brooklyn Prep did he really graduate from Canarsie HS
Curtis is still working on that GED.
After todays results hit on the GOP trifecta in Brooklyn its clear Ted will be choosing the next Mayor.
PRE-ELECTION ELECTION NEWS: THE "NY POST REPORTS..." EDITION
FORGET ALL THE NONSENSE ABOVE --- THIS IS REAL GOP GOSSIP
NAMES LIKE RAY RILEY, LIAM MC CABE, CHRISTINE SISTO MC CABE AND ANGELA SISTO WERE ALL DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD IN A NEW YORK POST REPORT ABOUT A DUSTUP AT THE OLPH EARLY VOTING SITE BETWEEN ANGELA SISTO AND BOE DEPUTY CLERK DANNY ORTIZ
It seems that Angela Sisto got into it with Danny Ortiz, a Deputy Clerk at the Brooklyn BOE, and the son of a local NYS Member of the Assembly, Felix Ortiz.....
There is plenty of blame and self-serving justification to go around, but Ray Riley cut through the Gordian Knot by ordering Angela Sisto removed from the site.

Another hit on GM's new favorite Republican- Liam
Just exactly what did craig accomplish as chair?
Just voted for Vito!
Danny Ortiz has a long history of going to polling places and intimidating white people. Gale considers that a dust up. Way to go Gale.
Craig Eaton did many house closings and even worked on a co-op conversion. a store front lawyer somewhere with cheap rent. As for chair he was sort of useless and when it came to a court challenge craig lost lost and lost.
Its a new decade with a new chair and new electeds on the way.

I really don't like it when people kick around Eaton and I'm not in on it..... For now, I think he rates a pass for being in his garage with those other two reprobates. When you're dealt a pair of deuces, play 'em if the game ain't too pricey.....
Besides, if ykw somehow should win, which I still very much doubt, one of my first jobs will be prying Craig away from that very unworthy Conservative-GOP State Senator to back me in 2022.
As for the Liam-Sisto-Ortiz-Riley thing >>> as Brooklyn GOP inside pool, it speaks volumes --- it'll lead to a three-ball combo off a rail into a far corner..... OR --- was it already a three-ball combo off a rail into a far corner while everybody was lookin' elsewhere ???
Gale thinks Vito will lose but hes running against him after he moves back from florida to staten island which is not in the senate district. Another minor obstacle is one must reside in NY for 5 years prior to the election.

I know that Vito has a hard-on for Mayors of the City of New York because they worked overtime trying to shut down everything that Vito did for twenty years, BTW, that was because it was all illegal stuff that was a gross public nuisance. >>> But really Vito Bruno has got to stop running for the state senate as if his opponent is Mayor Bill de Blah, Blah, Blah..... Just because Jerry Kassar and Fran Vella-Marone think that'll work doesn't mean that it will.
If Vito mentioned Gounardes by name at all, it was only one time..... The rest was "safety-crime-streets-Mayor de Blasio-safety-crime-streets-Mayor de Blasio-safety-crime-streets-Mayor de Blasio"
It amazes me that two morons like Vito Bruno and John Catsimatidis, who even bragged about his being pro-Bill Clinton, could talk for four minutes together and say next to nothing real. That's what happens when you lock too very egocentric, self-promoting guys in a small space and ask them to talk about other people and other things.

Eaton who???
12:21 Dont know what your obsession is with Eaton, but in any event, with the largest ever number of abstentee ballots cast and presently uncounted Ghorra will wind up with only 1 or 2 victories, and those still wont replace the two he lost 2 years ago.
Malliotakis ran a great race and Kassar gets all the credit for that one. He is a great State Chair.
She will probably lose in Brooklyn this year, like Donovan did 2 years ago.
Ghomora lost Golden and Donovan last round. If he keeps even two of these wins from tonight, all he did was replace what he lost. And if he keeps a Congress and Assembly seat, he actually lost, because we had a Great State Senator and a Great Congressman that he lost two years ago
Ghorra is an even better Chairman than Kassar
The results are in and defacto GOP State Chair Ghorra won 3 out of 3.

The Brooklyn GOP scene cannot be understood without seeing the short video of three old guys in a garage with a venerable Cadillac --- that video speaks volumes.
The biggest winner on the board, other than Vito Bruno himself, is Craig Eaton >>> who is now the de facto Brooklyn GOP County leader if he wants to be. Jerry Kassar might not like that, but it remains to be seen how that part plays out..... As for Ted Ghorra, don't worry... be happy --- also don't call them, they'll call you (maybe).....
Well "the many who follow this blog" obviously failed to see the "moral imperitive" that mattered to you and Andys consultants.
And please refer to the "apparent winner" Congresswoman elect Nicole Malliotakis as Nicole "Congresswoman for Life" Malliotakis. After crushing Max by 18 points I don't expect Nicole to go anywhere except maybe Gracie Mansion.

Bay Ridge is back to solid Republican ever since shiftless craig was booted out. The new GOP star is chair Ghorra who brought back the GOP from the dead.

Democrats in Brooklyn and SI get ousted by GOP and gale says they lose after reapportionment.

Wow....just wow! The idiotic comments on this blog defied expectations. Did Justin,Chris, and John give back admin rights on this blog to Mr. Trenchcoat? Keep deleting comments. Such fools. Nicole is your new Congresswoman and Vito is your new State Senator. Mike T is your Assemblyman and heck even the guy who's name no one can pronounce might win too.

How anybody's talking about likely future scenarios or even possible future events can be characterized as "whining" or even "sour grapes" is quite beyond my ken.....
All that I said in my comment above "... at 12:43 AM on 11/5/2020" was --- "Whoever might have won is now under the gun of redistricting unless Andrew Cuomo might try to stand up to defend them." It doesn't defame anybody, nor does it denigrate what they accomplished in the 2020 election. This was a sub-comment in a broader comment about a conceptual "Red Wave" that might have happened in Brooklyn; and the specific context was whether such a wave did or didn't pass through Bay Ridge.
Thus, our message about "reapportionment" was far from "whining"; in fact, it was more than poignant >>> it was exquisite.

.... INNUDDUH WOYDS, YUH DUNNO NUFFIN' 'BOUT GOP VOTES IN BAY RIDGE
I didn't see any ED breakdown anywhere inside Bay Ridge or outside..... However, I did mention in another comment that >>> "The anecdotal evidence is that the "Red Wave," if there was any in Brooklyn per se, didn't really occur in Bay Ridge proper....."
To be clear, somebody that actually took returns in Bay Ridge told me that the Republicans who had won ran behind in Bay Ridge from their overall totals and the returns from where they had run elsewhere in their respective districts.
The congressional, state senate, and two assembly seats that were gathered-in by the GOP in 2020 all have more EDs outside of Bay Ridge than inside Bay Ridge. Those are other neighborhoods in Brooklyn and/or Staten Island --- none of them is in Disneyland or anywhere close to Disneyland.
Chairperson Ghorra spoke of a tri-fecta win. Its been a quad.
Ted - 4 victories
Craig -
HOLD ON...
Ghorra is taking credit for Nicole, Vito and Marc.
Nicole's victory credit goes to Chairman Lentry in SI;
Vito's victory goes to Chamberis;
and Marc's victory goes to Kassar.
Ghorra just did whatever he was told.
End of story.
Andys got a great future in front of him. Doing what I dont know but im sure itll be great.
Ghorra came in and Brooklyn lost a Sen Seat and a Congressional seat.
Nicole wins and Vito may win, and now Ghorra is a hero?
Give me a break.
9:09 is clueless
Ghorra claims 4 victories?
9:53 stated it best:
Congress win goes to Lantry (not Lentry) in SI and Kassar in Brooklyn;
Tanoussis win goes to Malliotakis, and this was not a competitive race;
Bruno win - if it even holds - goes to Chamberis, with a lot of help from Eaton who got the endorsements from Gov Pataki and Cong Turnewr early on, and got Vito on the Cats show every week;
Stymewich, or whatever his name is, win will never survive.
Ghorra can only take credit for his toupee, and man, you need to either shave that head or get a transplant because your photo on NY1 with the sweat pouring out from under it, was realllll scary.
Someone should tell him how it really looks.
9:09 must be new to the party
Lets see if I know my history - and please correct me if I am wrong:
Eaton, during his almost 10 year tenure won:
-Golden races every cycle-and that was a lot of races because Golden was a great elected official-one of the best I have ever worked with;
-Congress races every cycle - Fossella, Grimm, Donovan;
-elected Nicole to Assembly initially and then every cycle;
-won a special with Cong Grimm;
-won a special with Cong Turner; and
-won a special with Sen Storobin - all great Republicans until the Dems stole away the last two seats in redistricting.
Them are the facts and I think winning all those races would trump a few victories, two of which replaced the two he lost 2 years ago.
Facts speak volumes ladies and gentlemen.
Please let me know if these facts are wrong.
Last time I checked Brooklyn only had one GOP Chair.
When I wake up tomorrow I wont know who is going to be president. When Biden wakes up next year will he?
