Get out the flying squads and send in the goons
John Quaglione's missive on Twitter was not plaintive, it was threatening
At first, the quote by John Quaglione below seems quite vague. I put it to you that he is being intentionally "Aesopian."
However, make no mistake, clearly contained in Quaglione's Tweet is a threat of something tougher in the offing.
But don't just believe me, read it and think about its sinister implications:
"... John Quaglione @JQuaglione
Tonight’s @SummerStroll3rd was a political battlefield- this was never the intent of the strolls. Electeds and candidates should have info tables (I had one last year) but groups with political agendas creating hostility on @3rdAveBayRidge shouldn’t be allowed to ruin a fun night
6:39 PM - 3 Aug
2018 from Brooklyn, NY..."
It looks like JQ really believes that his boss Marty should not be challenged publically on any subject whatsoever. He also believes that "Summer Stroll 3rd" is something that belongs to Marty Golden; and other politicians need to watch what they do and say about Quaglione's boss, or else. Quaglione also thinks that he's somebody who gets to make rules about proper comportment by politicos at these strolls, and more rules with punishments for something Mr. Q. called "hostility" that he thought had been "created" Friday evening --- of course JQ doesn't tell us what he means by either "hostility" or "creating hostility".....
BTW: Does John actually think that responding to his perceptions of "hostility" by Democrat pols with immediate threats of his own is the right way to act as Marty Golden's spokesperson ???

Golden and his staff need a quick course in what constitutionally protected free speech is all about.
ReplyDeleteFor someone who is virtually unemployable outside of Marty Golden's political circles, Quaglione is one sanctimonious fellow.
ReplyDeleteQ has to start thinking before posting, because when he’ll be out looking for a job in November, no one will take him when they see his social media posts.
ReplyDeleteBarkan has Golden cornered.
ReplyDeleteWhat threat do you see in John Quaglione's tweet? I see none.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "WHAT YOU ARE SAYING 'NEEDS MORE COW BELL'.... " EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:45 AM" & "... AT 11:45 AM"
YOU GOLDEN-BOTS ARE SO PREDICTABLE AND SO PEDANTIC..... THE SAME OLD DRIP, DRIP, DRIP DRIVING EVERYONE NUTS..... WAH ! WAH !!! WAH !!!!!
WHY NOT PICK UP THE BEAT AND PUT A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA IN TO DRIVE IT ALL WITH AN UPBEAT TIMING STROKE --- WHY NOT "BLUE OYSTER CULT" IT WITH A MUTED COWBELL ???
So, "... at 11:45 AM," you see some "actual violence" coming..... Interesting ! Very interesting !!!
Maybe, my prior mocking call for "flying squads" and "goons" needs to be reiterated, but this time more seriously.
Nonetheless, that very thing is vaguely suggested by Mr. Quaglione in his earlier offending Tweet, which is what motivated my main post above in the first place (it very much grieves me that you didn't seem to like it). Violence is EXPLICIT in John Q's use of the phrase, "...shouldn't be allowed..." (there are only two types of "[not] allowed" and both involve the threat of violence --- state sponsored (legal action/ intervention) or not state sponsored (direct physical action/ intervention).
For a crew that already has to answer for its failure to intervene to stop multiple categories of violence against children, the Golden creatures shouldn't be threatening things like that against the advocates for the children --- whether you think that they are "phone[y] baloney extremists" and "wackos" --- or not.
Galewyn you need a time out and more sources than Capano and Brannan. If you spent some time at the stroll yesterday you'd know that these were tactics right out of the Antifa playbook and if given the chance all heck would have broken loose in a very choreographed way but perhaps ways this neighborhood isn't used to or wants. GM I'm sorry you and Bob got screwed over but it's no excuse to carry water for these nut jobs. IT was a stroll for people to have fun relax reconnect whatever. It wasn't a licensed event for those with Trump and Golden derangement syndrome to hunt people down and confront them. Cut the bs about "violence against children" because you know that's fake news. These groups are not just hoping to change peoples minds they are attention whores seeking to provoke an incident that will make the press. It won't do anything to improve the image of our neighborhoods it will do the contrary and could actually endanger a lot of people who don't agree with the leftist socialist agenda and maybe drag in some innocent bystanders but don't you and Bob let that get in the way of your revenge fantasies.
ReplyDeleteLast night's events have NOTHING to do with ideology -- left, right, or center.
ReplyDeleteThe complaints by Q and the Golden supporters are textbook responses by people who got outworked, outgunned, and outmanned last night.
Q's reaction is the same as the way he reacted at last year's GOP council debate:
Q didn't think to bring any posters, and suddenly, the "neutral" debate organizers banned posters. Q didn't bring any campaign lit, and suddenly, the "neutral" debate organizers banned lit. Think about that: a political campaign debate where posters and literature are not allowed. Who does that, outside of old, Soviet-bloc countries?
You can be sure that if the tables had been turned last night, Q would have had no problem with the politicking.
GM, what we are seeing here is a bunch of sycophants stooges who are starting to fear losing their jobs. The writing is on the wall and the writing says Marty Golden no longer owns Bayridge and his days in the sun are coming to an end. Just about all of Marty's neverending white male aides are virtually unemployable outside of Marty Golden's political circle especially Quaglione he has the most to loose and he evidently is feeling the summer stroll HEAT. the downfall of the Golden Era is upon us, my dear friends

ReplyDeleteGolden won’t lose and all the fools who are hopping aboard the Titanic of fantasy scenarios of his defeat are only going to manage to completely outcast themselves from the GOP once he wins again. Andrew barely won Bay Ridge by a hundred votes the last time he ran and the Dem turnout was enormous because it was in a Presidential year, Golden’s base turnout in Marine Park was low because of the Hurricane and he still trounced Gounardes. Golden’s poll numbers are better now than they were back then. And Golden will spend twice the money. You are being ginned up by fat ass just to strengthen his hand so he can make a deal with Golden. Once Golden wins he’ll have no use for you and neither will anyone else in Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteEven if Golden wins he will retire soon because when the Democrats take back the Chamber I see no way Golden sticks around in the Minority. Either way you cut it, Quaglione would be smart to start working on his resume
ReplyDeleteA great moment for a confrontation along Third Avenue over State Senator Martin J. Golden's history of NOT PROTECTING CHILDREN OR GRANDMOTHERS will be this fall when the little kiddies march in costumes with their moms and grandmas. This election year lets call it "The Ragin' Muffins' Parade." Ahahahahaha..
ReplyDeleteRegardless what happens with Golden what these antifa wannabes tried doing yesterday was disgusting. They were screaming at people in the middle of the street trying to provoke confrontations. This is a summer stroll fro crying out loud, yes candidates press the flesh their volunteers hand out lit bla bla bla nothing we aren't used to. But what happened yesterday is unacceptable regardless of how you feel about Trump or Golden . You have all these people from the socialist groups coming to back up the anti Golden groups based in Bay Ridge and it is getting very ugly and if it continues there may be violent episodes but it won't be because of Quaglione or any of the Senate candidates, it's going to be because these creeps who aren't from the area are coming and actively provoking confrontations.
ReplyDeleteto the old white person above let me tell that the 'socialist" are from "area" and we are here to stay.
ReplyDeleteNobody seems to recall seeing any shouting or screaming except for Marty's staffers.
ReplyDelete7:51 to the Park Slope reject who couldn’t afford to live there anymore. Who are you kidding you are whiter than Elmer’s glue, you get lost around the corner. To 7:55 you libtards were shouting at people and crying louder than the pink hats at an anti Trump rally.
ReplyDeleteI was at the stroll yesterday. Four people were giving out bags or fans. They were friendly and offered me a bag. It was a great Summer stroll.
ReplyDeleteJohn Q. must be upset by the papers inside the bag.
John Quaglione is a the Susan Lucci of Bay Ridge politics. Don't bother arguing with him. You're just playing into the victim narrative that he is trying to perpetuate. Just ask him if his boss could stop speeding through school zones and hitting pedestrians.
ReplyDelete9:24 take a hint. You’re being used by these delusional “democratic socialists” who think they’re taking over Bay Ridge. By helping them you’re going to make Golden stronger than ever after he wins because anyone who isn’t one of his sycophants will be branded as a libtard traitor.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be a "traitor" to anything for/to which/whom you expressed no loyalty whatsoever, especially if you openly oppose it/him/her or their side generally.
ReplyDeleteKassar should unleash the Upper East side Psychos!!
ReplyDeleteWriting on the wall for Bay Ridge.
ReplyDeleteThis year is the year for DSA Dems and other brands of libtards to step up and stand out in Bay Ridge.
Barkan gets it, Gounardes doesn't.
Go Barkan!
Yes go Barkan. Marty's supporters could use a break and that'll be one less race the Republicans will have to worry about.
ReplyDeleteI hear Mark Treyger and Justin Brannan doing a press conference calling for a Joint Ethics Commission investigation into Golden Staffers using anonymous Twitter accounts for political purposes while on govt time..could get embarrassing

ReplyDeleteI dont think Barkan is the best candidate but hes the only one who can beat Marty.
ReplyDeleteThe evidence is building for JCOPE ..
ReplyDeleteMarty and staffers
You have until end of today to take down your anonymous Twitter accounts or tomorrow you will be in the headlines again, more bad news
Anonymous Twitter accounts by elected officials and their staff should be reported. Kassar has been getting away with corruption for way toooo long. Time to have him investigated thoroughly. I heard a lot of twisting of arms, and pay to play over the years, and this newest allegation of fake Twitter accts is just the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteSomeone should report him to the US DOJ
Even if JCOPE, the state Joint Commission on Ethics, can't prove unethical behavhior on Golden Staffers, they are likely to issue a formal, public advisory opinion once a formal complaint is filed (probably tomorrow) and with credible evidence , which there is here, that Golden Staffers are involved
ReplyDelete928 you seem to have some knowledge of the filing of a complaint.
ReplyDeletePlease post updates about this since I think a lot of people would be interested.
Look forward to seeing more updates....
Justin Brannan hosting a press conference on fake twitter accounts and government employees stealing time by constantly being on social media makes as much sense as Shelly Silver hosting a press conference demanding harsher mandatory sentences for public officials convicted of corruption.
ReplyDelete9:21 Justin you fat turkey everybody knows its you. Stop being so sensitive about things people are saying about you. They're mostly true. Go join a gym to get out that aggression before it gets you in serious trouble. At age 35 you're close to 400 pounds, its because you down creampuffs instead of antacids as you're busy trolling everyone who disagrees with you. You have until whenever you want to form a diet plan to save yourself from gaining another hundred pounds.
ReplyDeleteIf JCOPE issues a public, formal opinion warning/reminding Golden and staffers about political activity while on govt time and with taxpayer funded equipment it would make big news and another example of Kassar, Quagliome, and Kepi causing more embarrassment for Golden ...if they find any wrong doing , that co up a be game over because after years of accusations and innuendo, this would be FIRST time charges stick
ReplyDelete9:20 Ross after you get crushed in the Primary and can’t find another job as a journalist, comedy might be your new gig. If you even dream you beat Gounardes let alone Golden you better wake up and apologize.
ReplyDelete10:00 everybody knows its you Justin. Marko Kepi owning your fat ass on Twitter gives it away to new readers of the blog. Careful what you ask for because some of your own staffers are starting to talk about how you run your office and who does what with their time.
ReplyDeletehave another cheeseburger justin
ReplyDeleteQuaglione had to delete his Facebook post because people were threatening to beat the shit out of those antifa whack jobs at next weeks stroll. If any of them gets hurt you know they’ll boo hoo to the cops and get John into trouble. When is he gonna learn to ignore those six crazies who have nothing to do now that Justin’s campaign is over?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "FAKE NEWS BY MISDIRECTION" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 5:58 AM"
MY MAIN POST ABOVE IS CLEARLY ONLY ABOUT A JOHN QUAGLIONE >>> TWEET <<< ON HIS TWITTER SITE --- WHETHER HE REMOVED ANYTHING FROM >>> FACEBOOK <<< DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY OF THE POINTS IN MY POST OR THOSE RAISED IN THE COMMENTS MADE BY MY READERS (AND MYSELF) ABOVE ON THIS THREAD --- SOMEBODY IS CHASING A RED HERRING OR HOPING THAT WE WILL
JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO, I CHECKED ON THE TWEETS ON JQ'S TWITTER SITE, AND THE OFFENSIVE MATERIAL IS STILL PROMINENTLY POSTED FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE AND READ IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO
The thread of comments following Q's initial Tweet are a gold mine of info of what this is all about. It's so good, that I memorialized it in my files and will be doing a follow-up posting about some of it soon.
