The "Trump Rally" is now more than a year old !!!!!
The Dow-Jones Industrials Index, which tracks 30 of the biggest well-established U.S. companies, rose 152.45 points today , or 0.6%, to 25,075.13.
Fake News !!!!
ReplyDeleteLike money is everything?
ReplyDeleteThe stock market went through the roof after Chairman Capano announced he was joining the Reform party. Thank You Chairman. You always deliver for Brooklyn and America.
ReplyDeleteGale I'm glad you posted this. Stock market hits a record high and CNN never mentions it.
ReplyDeleteThank You chairman bob for bringing our economy back. Thank u
ReplyDeleteCheck out Capano's Facebook..he just announce he is now a weekly columnist for the Brooklyn Courier papers published throughout Brooklyn..he shared his first article..wow..what a platform for the Chairman
ReplyDeleteWell done Chairman..I just picked up the Bay Ridge Courier and saw your column..you now level the playing field with Kassar' s Common Sense Column in the Home Reporter...you guys are going head to head every week..
ReplyDeleteYou have a great platform for months and years to come if u choose to run again.
Chairman...I just read your column..a true leader!!
ReplyDeleteChairman
ReplyDeleteWow..yo u are taking them by storm..
Bob
ReplyDeleteWhat a great beginning of the year as I heard:
Become Chairman
Become weekly columnist
Become possible gubernatorial candidate
You are laying a foundation
Chairman, Professor, Columnist, Manager..the titles keep coming!!
ReplyDeleteWow
Chairman this explains everything. Rumor is Maureen Dowd and Frank Bruni have resigned at the New York Times. They smelled defeat.
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget where I was the day Chairman Capano put pen to paper.
ReplyDeleteStill not sure Capano appreciates Bay Ridge.
ReplyDeleteGod bless u Chairman Capano
ReplyDeletegod bless u
7:16 is finally unmasking the elephant in the room. It's Bob and through four elections Bob has never answered the question. Does Bob Capano appreciate Bay Ridge? This was an issue that dogged one of Chuck Schumers last congressional races. It resulted in Schumer taking the gamble on a run for Senate.
ReplyDeleteBannon has lost his money and WH connections. Looking Grim for Grimm.
ReplyDeleteChairman don't take the bait. You have the right to remain silent.
ReplyDeleteWho is Capano, and exactly how did he make the Dow reach the 25,000 mark?
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your silly question, Capano is Capano Who. Capano is the latest Doctor operating the TARDIS and there have been no Daleks roaming around Bay Ridge on his watch.
ReplyDeleteAs predicted by some astute political insiders on this very blog, it's turning out to be a big year for Capano.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, has anyone heard from the other former Council candidates? Capanko Has parlayed his candidacy into some big things..brilliant
Everyone thinks 2017 was the year of Capano.
ReplyDeletewait till 2018 takes off
I think Capano did this brilliantly- he knew he couldnt win the primary with Golden pushing Q and KAssar pushing McCab so he orchestrated a very high profile battle with Kassar & Long ("The Placeholder Deal") and a leaving of the shattered Brooklyn GOp to become a Reform Party leader and NOW in 2018- he is the Reform Chairman of Kings County already meeting with local & state candidates, and now a columnist read throughout Brooklyn..well played Mr. Capano
ReplyDeleteIsn't the latest Doctor Who a woman? Is Bob Capano a woman?
ReplyDeleteNot that there's anything wrong with that.
Great moves Mr. CHAIRMAN
ReplyDeleteGet ready for Dow 26,000
ReplyDeleteOctober 10, 2017 a day that will live in infamy.
ReplyDeleteIt was the day Chairman Capano issued his declaration of war after being excluded from the great debates. It was the biggest thing since the emancipation proclamation. Bigger !!
Onward and upward MR CHAIRMAN
ReplyDeleteCapano is clearly out maneuvering McCabe and Quaglione to stay "out there"
ReplyDeleteWhy is GM deleting so many posts on here?
ReplyDeleteI think Gale is in on it.
ReplyDeleteDoes GWM appreciate Brooklyn?
ReplyDeletea lot of unanswered questions gail or gale
ReplyDeleteThe Chairman was smart to bar Michael Wolf from his campaign compound during the historical council race of 2017.
ReplyDeleteAt least now Trump will realize who the better strategist is.
Grimm was just interviewed on Fox regarding his support from Bannon. It was obvious Grimm is in fear of Chairman Capano.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t fit GM benefactors narrative that Jerry got Bob out of Saperstein campaign and now Bob looking for payback.
ReplyDeleteCross the Chairman and face the consequences.
ReplyDeleteChairman or no chairman sometimes pissing off so many people has unintended consequences which is why Bob and his little reform party are going to stick it to Kassar and KCCP. No more no show jobs for Jerry’s cronies means no more influence.
ReplyDeleteI hear Capano has built up a nice army of people screwed by Kassar through the years and now that they see the KCCP going down, they are happy to take their chances with Capano and the new, growing reform party
ReplyDeleteI hear Capanos army is so big they'll be taking over Fort Hamilton.
ReplyDeleteKassar has screwed so many people you could populate a mid size city. Now that the patronage is gone so is the muscle of the Conservatives. Will be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteAre Bobs troops going to take over Fort Wadsworth?
ReplyDeleteIt's closer to home
Thats real funny Jerry
ReplyDeleteNo matter the size of Capano s army, certainly having the overt or tacit support of real NYC powerhouses like Curtis Sliwa, Craig Eaton , and John Catsimatidis can only help him!
ReplyDeleteExactly what year did Mayor Castimatis take office?
ReplyDeleteCats had Eaton with him ..of course he lost
ReplyDeleteCats only lost Brooklyn by fifty votes.
ReplyDeleteHumiliated Gerry, Golden, and the Cons in their own backyard. Only did better on Staten Island because of the toll.
Is it true Kassar sold his house?
ReplyDeleteNicole became the minority whip. I never would have guessed she was into that.
ReplyDeleteThe Luthmann case has gone from bad to worse since Luthmann hired Aidala. The last court appearance Aidala forgot to ask for bail. Luthmann will be locked up for months.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "IMPATIENT LITTLE BIRDIE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:30 PM"
JUST WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO SLAM "AAA" AGAIN, MY LITTLE BIRDIE BSI WHO TIPPED ME TO THE STORY STEALS MY THUNDER
Earlier today, the following information was contained in a release that was sent out by John Marzulli, who is now a PR guy for the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of New York. According to the Marzulli pitch, there had been a hastily scheduled telephone status conference this morning; it was arranged by Hon. Jack Weinstein, but it wasn't on the public calendar as far as I can tell.
None of the sides were physically present in Judge Weinstein's courtroom, and the lawyers for the defendants called in and waived their clients' appearances by phone.
Judge Weinstein set a trial date for 5/14/18. It was also agreed and ordered that any defendants' motions for separate trials were to be submitted within 20 days of today's conference.
The next court appearance on these matters was scheduled for 2/28/18, however Judge Weinstein did not orally order a specific time on that date. Instead Judge Weinstein told all the lawyers that he would issue an formal written order later containing the exact time of day for the 2/28/18 appearance(s) for all sides.
Oddly, no bail was discussed for either Defendant Luthmann or Defendant Padula; and no bail hearings are scheduled for either Luthmann or Padula, who at this time remain in custody.
So far "AAA" is performing exactly as one might expect a defense counsel for Richard Luthmann to act, when that defense counsel's real interests seem to be more closely aligned with Dennis Quirk, and Judy and Mike McMahon.
My source told me that, as an attorney himself, Luthmann should know how he wants his case defended and what he is doing to further that. Well, if what he plans as part of his defense strategy is to stay in jail until his trial, then he and his new legal representative, "AAA," are doing exactly what they need to do.
Luthmann had a reason for hiring Aidala and putting up a fight is not one of those reasons. This story not adding up. Luthmann is an attorney with no criminal record. Strong ties to the community are not in question. Nothing is in question. Luthmann never asked for bail, or, his attorney never asked for bail. Luthmann is still an attorney however he may find it difficult to prosecute the Federal lawsuit he filed on behalf of the whistleblower Polizotto while incarcerated. The lawsuit has tape of the statan island DA McMahons wife, Judge Judith McMahon, trying to fix cases and use court staff to raise money for hubby DA McMahons race in 2015.
ReplyDelete9:46 has lots of facts but dusnt get it. Luthmann being put in jail ends the lawsuit and McMahon gets back into congress. Works out all around.
ReplyDeleteChairman Capano please grant clemency to Luthmann
ReplyDeleteLuthman made a deal.
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't Capanunu used his nu-nu influence as Reform Party Chairman to fix this for Luthmann. Isn't that what powerful party chairmen like Kassar and Long do?
ReplyDeleteThat I left out Ghorra's name was not an oversight.
Kassar got his buddy DA McMahon to indict Luthmann.
ReplyDeleteCapano sent out a press release denouncing Luthmann.
Hey 807 am
ReplyDeleteHow do you know Capano is not working on it and got Aidala involved!
If Capano got Aidala involved than . .
ReplyDeleteThe Chairman is always working and leading
ReplyDeleteChairman
ReplyDeleteGreat showing on your sponsored Facebook ad announcing your new column..almost 300 likes in 1 day it looks like..people are following you
Somebody or lots of somebodies need to get real about this Luthmann thing. The evil-doers were able to go after Richard Luthmann because he was more than anything else, a poseur. Furthermore, he was practically all alone and without any strong or reliable allies. As soon as he got caught out on a limb, he was like low-hanging fruit next to a sidewalk --- he was both easy to grab, and nobody was close enough to him to try to keep it from happening.
ReplyDeleteWhen this all went down, the first thing that the Reform Party leaders did was pee their pants. After that they just tried to make a hasty exit without anybody noticing anything.
See Chairman. Jealous and envy.
ReplyDeleteThey fear you. We love you.
Kassar hasn't done anything. He's been silent..
ReplyDeleteCapano debuted a new column throughout Brooklyn, promoted it on Facebook, is a chairman...interviewing state Senate and congressional candidate's, works with a billionaire
A column in a paper nobody heard of and facebook. Kassar has elected Governors, a US Senator, Attorney General, Comptroller, a bunch of congressman.
ReplyDeleteBob Capano lost 5 elections and if I put the % of vote capano got the blog administrator will delete it. I'll give you a hint. Bob got less than 2% but slightly more than zero.
Its not the size of Chairman Capanos followers its the loyalty and dedication to the Chairman and the American way.
ReplyDelete659pm
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about Kassar's column??
"The American Way"! You aren't serious about that shiboleth of the left are you?
ReplyDeleteThat's something that liberals like Norman Lear and Barbara Jordan latched onto in the early 80s to try to stop the Reagan Revolution. More likely, you relate it to around the time of the TV Superman character played by George Reeves in the early 1950s. It's really more than a hundred years older than that, back in the 1840s some people thought that it was a better phrase than "The American Dream."
I'm not one of those people, and not just because I wasn't there in the 1840s.
I slept through most of the 80's
ReplyDeleteDidn't you see the ads in the 80s that showed you "... and this is your brain on drugs...."?
ReplyDeleteSlept through that one
ReplyDeleteThat's why pot should NOT be legalized
ReplyDelete7:04 is right. I say smoke a marijuana cigarette and go to prison.
ReplyDeleteJust say no
ReplyDeleteEaton smokes marijuana
ReplyDeleteTed is a crack head
ReplyDeleteBannon said he was sorry.
ReplyDeleteNow its Bobs turn.
Ted Ghorra and Jerry Kassar will continue to run Bay Ridge politics in 2018 while Capano and Eaton will continue to blog.
ReplyDeleteTed Ghorra runs nothing except to the phone when his boss Jerry Kassar is calling. Even the people who supported Ted now realize what a huge mistake it was. It’s only a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteIt's 2018 and Ted Ghorra is still Chair of the Brooklyn GOP for all to see, meeting with Ed Cox and others, laughing about Craig Eaton' s demise..
ReplyDeleteThe reform party results in Bay Ridge:
ReplyDeleteGentile 48% with no campaign
Capano 1% with mailings robocalls and big time media
Poseur?
ReplyDeleteI dont do french
Capano and Eaton , two people no one care about or pays attention to..
ReplyDeleteChairman Capano has seized the moment. Thats what real leadership is about.
ReplyDeleteCapano and Eaton are 2 Catsimatidis gophers
ReplyDeleteEd Cox hardly thrilled with Ted Ghorra. Everybody knows Jerry owns and runs Brooklyn GOP. At least Eaton was a real Chairman and got to act like it.
ReplyDeleteI was with Ted Ghorra and Ed Cox in Albany. They got a long great and were laughing about how if Craig didn't drive Cataimatdis to events and then tag along , no one would see him anymore..
ReplyDeleteWait Capano is the driver, Eaton carries Cats coat
ReplyDeleteBob had to finish stocking shelves that night
ReplyDeleteChairman
ReplyDeletePlease see comment 531 pm.
Can't believe how they are still attacking you. You must be doing something right!!
Craig Eaton and John Cats are good friends and Ed Cox feels like a fool that he went to bat for Ted Ghorra with John and Andrea. It's a lose lose for Ted as if he doesn't do exactly what Jerry tells him, Golden will turn on him and he will be ousted. If he listens to Jerry the John Quaglione supporters are going to go after him because there is no love lost after Ted supported Liam behind the scenes.
ReplyDeleteFor all to see, Ted Ghorra is the GOP chairman and Craig is nobody..
ReplyDeleteI guess Cats can't be that loyal to Craig since Cats and Andrea still work closely with Ed Cox after he "went to bat for Ted Ghorra " as 628 pm says..guess it didn't bother Cats too much that Ed Cox left Eaton how to dry..besides Catsimatidis was relates to Cox through andrea..if John and Andrea really wanted to help Craig they could have stopped Cox from "Going to bat for Ted Ghorra"..obviously they did not..so much for "Craig Eaton and John Cats being good friends"...
A lot of Craig’s old friends even accepted Ted to put and end to all of the infighting but now see what a disaster it was after he bungled a very winnable city council race for Gentile seat. Everywhere else in Brooklyn was even worse. Jerry made Ted go all out for Liam and then made him ignore John’s race in the general.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "LET'S STAY ON TOPIC --- AND THE TOPIC IS RICHARD LUTHMANN" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO MOST OF THE UNFOCUSED CROWD COMMENTING ABOVE
THIS THREAD FOLLOWS A POST ABOUT RICHARD LUTHMANN; AND IT IS INTENDED TO DISCUSS FORMER REFORM PARTY "CHIEF COUNSEL" RICHARD LUTHMANN --- IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A RANT-SITE ABOUT BOB CAPANO AND/OR CRAIG EATON, OR TED GHORRA AND/OR JERRY KASSAR
One of my BSIs sent me a link for something called the "Ripoff Report" and some purported published consumer complaints about Luthmann's professional services as an attorney (See: https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/richard-a-luthmann/staten-island-new-york-10314/richard-a-luthmann-richard-luthmann-rich-luthmann-luthman-tamara-moore-the-luthman-law-1397733). I have to agree with my best informed source on the Luthmann case that the
"... language in the complaints about Luthmann as an attorney and the time they were filed [in the "Ripoff Report"] looks contrived to screw Luthmann...."
Kassar had the Staten Island DA McMahon do a number on Luthmann. Kassar tweeted the day of Luthmanns arrest gloating about Luthmann doing hard time. As soon as the tweets were out the reform party dumped Luthmann. The reform party had it first battle with Kassar and they left there wounded on the field.
ReplyDelete1136 pm
ReplyDeleteI heard a Kassar tweet caused Mother Nature to allow temperatures to go in one freezing this week..get real!
Liam, stop being Kassar s lackey here.
God Bless u Liam
ReplyDeletegod bless u
Liam
ReplyDeleteGet off this blog..I need you to drive me somewhere
If you watched the Golden Globe Awards this year, you know that the person posting all the "God bless u" comments is none other than Nicole Kidman. But somebody needs to tell Nicole,
ReplyDeleteit's the power of prayer that counts, not the power of women.
Daily News says Long is worried the GOP has nobody to run for Governor. I guess Mike didnt notice Assembly Minority leader Brian Kolb announced last month hes running for Governor. Or maybe Mike made the same deal with Andrew that he made with his shithead father Mario in 1990.
ReplyDeleteor the same deal he tried to make for city council
ReplyDeleteNobody gives a shit about a city council race. Its small time local politics that happened last year.
ReplyDeleteCons sold out Quaglione and almost every other Republican candidate running using their handiest shiniest little new tool Ted Ghorra.
ReplyDelete
