First, it was going to be Arielle Scarcella to speak about all-day sex and orgasms (or was that all-day orgasms and sex ???) at his since cancelled fund raiser --- now it looks like he's invited Maurren Mahoney to speak about her intensely personal cause, "Bullying".....
--- Talk about polar opposites ---
It is increasingly obvious that the Fox Campaign has decided that it needs to go completely full-frontal bi-polar bonkers to attract a crowd
There is one big problem --- all of Brian Fox's us-against-them "take back our neighborhoods" bullying braggadocious bravado is completely not what Maurren Mahoney's sort of new agey, Kumbaya and community comradeship to stamp out bullying is all about.....
Here's the rub, Maureen Mahoney (Fitzpatrick) is a woman on a mission..... And her son Daniel's 2016 tragedy is still a local scandal.....
But an alliance of convenience with the likes of the Republican-Conservative Candidate for City Council Brian Fox in the hope of advancing "Daniel's Law" is fraught with peril, because Maureen Mahoney doesn't know anything about the bullying in Brian's own past..... THAT'S BECAUSE NONE OF US DO..... AND THAT'S BECAUSE BRIAN FOX AND HIS HANDLERS WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.....
What we do know is that Brian Fox was a BMOC varsity hockey jock in high school in New Jersey..... He then went on to play semi-pro hockey for a while, and he developed a rep as an "enforcer." And we can only guess at the goings on at all those hyper-masculine booze bashes for "business" that Fox repeatedly touted while he was a Wall-Streeter and then a high-tech recruiter.
We also have seen Brian Fox in action as a local candidate for City Council right here in Brooklyn --- where his bullying style is well-established, and now very familiar all around (remember Fox's campaign team tearing down signs at the Stroll on Third Avenue, with Fox even trying to bully an event organizer Chip Cafierro right on Third Avenue during the "Stroll...").....
Old tragedies, new tragedies, Brian Fox and Liam haven't yet found a tragedy that they won't try to exploit for flacking, fun and profit.
ReplyDeleteEvery other day something new in Fox world.
ReplyDeleteNothings ever new in the Brannen basement.
318, you need to wake up and smell the coffee! While Brian Fox is parroting Liam's uninformed pipedreams about bailing water out of basements in Bay Ridge, Councilman Justin Brannan was doing a national TV guest stint on NET/PBS talking about the mammoth upgrade that needs to be done to solve NYC's problems with flooding during superstorms.
ReplyDelete3;37 is right. Justin is on TV and moving on to big time. He cant waste his time in Brooklyn.
ReplyDeletepeople need to understand that PBS aint interested in safe clean streets. They want big progressive issues. justin is moving up. bay ridge was just a stepping stone.
ReplyDeleteWhen Liam is involved the question is how low will they go? Using Daniel's death as a gimmick is really quite sad even for Brian
ReplyDeleteour streets are not safe, justin failed.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "IT'S ALRIGHT, WE'LL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU VERY, VERY SIMPLY & SLOWLY" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:13 PM" & "... AT 5:55 PM"
WHOEVER WROTE THAT "PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT PBS AINT [sic] INTERESTED IN SAFE CLEAN STREETS...." IS CLEARLY LACKING IN ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PBS, OR HOW ONE WOULD GO ABOUT GETTING TO A SITUATION CONDUSIVE OF SAFE CLEAN STREETS >>> AMONG OTHER THINGS, BY SOMETIMES TALKING ABOUT HOW TO GO ABOUT ACHIEVING THAT ON A PBS NEWS PROGRAM, IF ONE WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY
HOWEVER, THE NEWS OF THE DAY WAS ABOUT DEALING WITH THE FLOODING FROM THE MASSIVE RAINSTORM EVENT THAT EVERYBODY REFERRED TO AS "HURRICANE" OR "TROPICAL STORM" >>> "IDA" --- AND THAT VERY RELEVANT >>> NEWS STORY <<< WAS WHAT PBS WAS PROPERLY COVERING IN THE SEGMENT IN WHICH JUSTIN BRANNAN APPEARED
COUNCILMAN JUSTIN BRANNAN WAS ON THE SHOW TO GIVE JUDY WOODRUFF'S COVERAGE OF "IDA" A PARTICULAR LOCAL FLAVOR BY HAVING BRANNAN ON AS HER GUEST --- HE GAVE HIS OBSERVATIONS ABOUT WHAT HE SAW AROUND HIS DISTRICT IN BROOKLYN, AND WHAT HE KBEW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY; AND THEN BRANNAN GAVE HIS OPINION AS TO WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY, IN THE MID-RUN, AND IN THE LONG-RUN TO CLEAN UP THE PRESENT MESS, AND TO AVOID SIMILAR DISASTROUS FLOODS IN THE FUTURE --- ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT MR. BRANNAN HAD TO SAY WAS RELEVANT TO THE RESIDENTS OF BRANNAN'S 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT AND TO BTANNAN'S CURRENT CAMPAIGN FOR RE-ELECTION --- AS FOR "BIG PROGRESSIVE ISSUES," THERE WAS ALMOST NONE OF THAT IN THE BRANNAN SEGMENT
The reality was that Councilman Justin Brannan was thoughtfully discussing very important local matters on national televison, while Brian Fox was doing a teensy bit of "me too - me too" mimmickry on his not very effective campaign's Facebook page --- but somehow with Fox's being stuck in a time warp showing pre-storm photos that had nothing to do with what Fox was saying about the storm or its aftermath.
Justin does whats good for Justin. Fox is out helping people. Justin gets on TV.
ReplyDeletei saw justin on his media tour and he failed to mention that the floods came from clogged sewers. this is from his March 2020 sanitation cuts he pushed through city council.
ReplyDelete925, if you intentionally are telling everybody that the catastrophic floods associated with perhaps the biggest rain event ever to hit the NYC Metro area were caused by clogged sewers due to sanitation cuts, then you obviously are either lying, or are wilfully ignorant of the facts, or are completely misinformed from listening to the lies being spread by Brian Fox and or his consultants and associates as to how and why the storm sewer system failed. The out-of-date combination/interconnected storm and sanitary sewer lines were completely overwhelmed by the total volume of water from the storm; many homes' basements or other low points were flooded by water coming up from the household drains and traps. The proof that it was the event itself and nothing to do with any of the NYC operating budget items is that the same catastrophic flooding happened throughout the NYC Metro area not just inside the NYC limits.
ReplyDeleteSince Brian Fox has made the rather significant claim that he was helping people during the storm, maybe he can tell us: who he was helping; what the exact problem was that he was helping with; when he was doing it; and how he happened to be there during the storm to be available?
ReplyDeleteThese facts are necessary to "fact check" Brian Fox and the Brian Fox Campaign for CIty Council, becuase Fox and his campaign are seriously "FACT CHALLENGED"; and they have been caught out in lies many times in the past during this campaign.
Justin tells DSA he defunded police then he tells bay ridge he voted to fund police. Im sure none of this is on video.
ReplyDeleteFox & Friends v old time pol Justin.
ReplyDelete1135, no matter what you say, all normal police functions related to anything having to do with any and all street crime were fully funded throughout Justin Brannan's term to date. Also, until the COVID-19 outbreak, total police funding was up and local crime rates were down.
ReplyDeleteBrian and Liam need to get the real facts and be ready to debate crime and policing based on facts not slogans.
Recently, there has been an increase in almost all categories of crime, but neither Brian Fox nor Liam McCabe have a clue why.
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "HOUSE DIVIDED" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHE MAUREEN MAHONEY [FITZPATRICK] AND BRIAN FOX ALLIANCE OF CONVENIENCE IS CAUSING SOME INCONVENIENCE FOR THE OLD GUARD OF THE BROOKLYN GOP AND NYS CONSERVATIVE PARTY --- THERE STILL SEEMS TO BE SOME FINANCIAL-LEGAL CLAIMS BY DANIAL FITAPATRICK'S SURVIVORS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN RESOLVED INVOLVING HOLY ANGELS ACADEMY [NOW ASSOCIATED WITH ST. ANSELMS AS BAY RIDGE CATHOLIC ACADEMY] --- THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAKES BOTH JOHN QUAGLIONE AND MIKE LONG VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER GOP-CON/CON INSIDERS WHO DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OR FEEL OF ANY OF IT --- NO MATTER HOW LIAM AND BRIAN MIGHT TRY TO PLAY IT
Even though an old lawyer, who's also a well-known Democrat wag, is out-of-town on vacation, he's gotten an inside scoop from somebody on the other side of the political divide. He said that he knows many of the people trying to keep the Catholic Academies viable at the Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights end of Brooklyn; and some of the political old hands think that giving somebody like Maureen Mahoney [Fitzpatrick] an open mike at a GOP-Conservative sponsored political event doesn't help that at all.
Brian Fox is Liam's puppet. The Maureen Mahoney rally is Liam's idea. I wonder what Kassar will say when he gets calls from John Q, Marty and Mike Long to cancel the event
ReplyDelete1042, I don't know about all of that. Because the Arielle Scarcella thing went over like a lead balloon, this latest thing can't be cancelled without crippling the Conservatives' 2021 campaign in Brooklyn completely. There are a lot of ways to fix this and minimize the damage; I'm sure that Kassar will figure out something.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with Maureen Mahoney. Her son was bullied the same time justin brannen was taunting the disabled person in councilman Gentiles district office. There was a lawsuit about these events.
ReplyDelete949, you are mistaken. There was some kind if lawsuit brought by a disgruntled staffer against NYC and Councilman Gentile about some incidents prior to 2016.
ReplyDeleteCouncilman Gentile and Gentile's Chief of Staff prior to Brannan, named Mancuso, were mentioned in the allegations, but Justin Brannan was not in the case. The case against Gentile was dismissed, but for some reason the lawyers for NYC and NYC Controller Stringer chose to settle the case against the City rather than go to trial.
Does anyone know how Brian Fox is paying his bills and rent right now>? Is he on the Biden unemployment plan?
ReplyDeleteBrian Fox is owner of the lucrative Phillip Martin Talent Agency as well as several restaurants.
ReplyDeleteAbsurd for Brian Fox to take an anti bullying stance when some of his most vocal supporters are local Islamophobe and comic book store owner Jessie Harrison and neighborhood creep and harasser Keith Atherholt.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "IT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO..." EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:57 AM"
ALTHOUGH IT APEARS VERY LIKELY THAT JESSIE HARRISON AND KEITH ATHERHOLT ARE BRIAN FOX FOR CITY COUNCIL GROUPIES OF SOME KIND OR OTHER --- AND KEITH ATHERHOLT HAS LONG HAD A REPUTATION FOR BEING A CYBER-BULLY --- WE CAN FIND NOTHING THAT INDICATES JESSIE HARRISON IS AN ISLAMOPHOBE
When mentioning people negatively, as you have done, you should be very specific with your reasons for doing so, unless it's something that is widely known or believed to be so.
Opinions on a variety of things including what constitutes "bullying""" and or "Islamophobia" might very well differ, however saying that somebody is this, that or the other should not be done lightly or without some foundation in fact.
