What is that they say about BAD FIRST IMPRESSIONS ???
--- Well, you can surely say it about Ari Kagan and his recent political forray into Bay Ridge for some cash support from the Fox and McCabe "crowd" --- and a very very few other "Republicans"
You don't have to just believe what we say here at this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island >>> here it is as Ari posted it on his own campaign social media:
"Ari Kagan@AriKagan47·Mar 10... Thank you, Verrazzano Republicans, @BrianFox4NYC, @BkLiam, @JEM_NYC,
@RayDenaro,@mi34779646 & many others, for joining my team & working hard to deliver our common victory on Republican Primary Day, June 27th, and General Election on November 7th! 2/2 [sic]... [with photos depicted below]"
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words --- well here are a few of them as provided by Ari, himself:
UH-OH !!!!!
[[[SORRY --- DOWNLOAD OF EIGHT [8] PHOTOS FROM KAGAN'S CAMPAIGN TWITTER PAGE WERE BLOCKED TO THIS SITE]]]
At any rate,, that would have made >>> about 8000 words of bad news by our count [see it for yourslf at Ari's campaign Twitter site at Ari Kagan@AriKagan47]..... By all counts, in all eight pix there were fewer than twenty-five (25) different people shown to be in the house, and that included Ari and about ten (10) folks from Liam's and Brian's entourage of "usual suspects".....
We just can't wait to see the dislosure of the haul from this extravaganza on Ari's filings, we only hope that it doesn't crash the NYC CFB computers when it's entered.....
According to the one (pun intended) in attendance there were 20 people, 6 of whom are on the payroll, around 8 from the coke head/drunk crowd and a hand-full of faces that didn’t know where bay ridge was prior to this train wreck. The usual 10% kickback was provided to the dynamic duo at the end of the night.
ReplyDeletejustins going to lose so what difference does it make.
ReplyDeleteNobody showed for Lester Chang fundraisers either.
ReplyDeleteBrannen said crime is down. Down from what?
ReplyDelete1003, if you don't know by now, then Gail's 'not here to do your research for you.' And, because it looks like Gail is either under the weather, or asleep at the switch, or still fixated on Tucker Carlson, let me tell you to shove it up your ass for him.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:03 PM" & "... AT 3:54 AM"
IN ALL FAIRNESS,"... AT 10:03 PM," WE ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHATEVER JUSTIN BRANNAN MIGHT HAVE SAID ABOUT "CRIME IS DOWN"..... SO YOUR QUESTION MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE VALIDITY AND RELEVENCE
THAT BEING SO, "... AT 3:54 AM," WE DO NOT ENDORSE YOUR COMMENT ABOUT SHOVING ANYTHING ANYWHERE --- FURTHERMORE, ANY SILENCE OR NON-RESPONSE ON OUR PART TO ANY COMMENT, REGARDLESS OF ITS CONTENT, DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE "UNDER THE WEATHER"; "ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH"; OR "STILL FIXATED ON..." THIS & THAT --- OR EVEN THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER
Remember, everybody has questions, opinions and assholes --- and telling anybody to shove their questions or opinions up their assholes should be saved for very special occasions.
EDITORIAL MOVE: THE "NIP & TUCK SURGERY" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHIS COMMENT APPEARED AT ANOTHER THREAD ON THIS INDEPENDENT GOP BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND --- WE THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK BETTER HERE.....
Here it is:
"Anonymous said...
Let's see what happens if there is a GOP primary in "AriKagan47"; maybe it's really "MikeRagusa47" or "Anna Belfiore-Delfaus47" or "AveryPereira47".
And Borelli needs to shut his hole about any uniparty in Brooklyn; his whole Ari Kagan thing is part of an insurgent Democrat raid on the Brooklyn GOP. Eventually, Ted will see that Ari needs Ted,and Ted doesn't need Ari, or somebody like Lucretia will get through to Ted or take his hair piece hostage.
And Ted can't stay stupid forever; eventually he'll die even if his hair doesn't.

personally I like seeing Brian Fox and Liam McCabe supporting a progressive Democrat
ReplyDeleteRagusa had a fundraiser the other night but i haven't seen any photographic evidence of it yet
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS: THE "BRIAN FOX - LIAM MC CABE SHOW" EDITION
ReplyDeleteSEVERAL HOURS AGO --- BRIAN FOX POSTED ANOTHER OF HIS UNIQUE VIDEO SELF-INDICTMENTS OF BEING A COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE BUFFOON AND POLITICAL ALBATROSS --- AND THIS TIME HE INCLUDED LIAM MC CABE [WHOSE APPEARANCE WAS ONLY ENOUGH TO PROVE THAT HE IS STILL ALIVE, AND NOT VERY MUCH ELSE] AS HIS CO-SOMETHING-OR-OTHER
THESE TWO MARROONS ARE A HOOT-AND-A-HALF.....
--- FIRST, MC CABE WAS LATE TO THE PARTY AND SAID NEXT TO NOTHING
--- SECOND, FOX [DRESSED IN ONE OF HIS BRIAN FOX CAMPAIGN FLEECE VESTS] TALKED ABOUT HIMSELF AND HIS PAST CAMPAIGNS A LOT --- INCLUDING FOR THE FIRST TIME, THAT WE HAVE EVER HEARD OR SEEN FROM ANY SOURCE >>> A CLAIM THAT JUSTIN BRANNAN VOTED TO DEFUND THE POLICE IN TWO FISCAL CYCLES, $200 MILLION EACH TIME <<< [WITH FOX ALSO FALSELY CLAIMING THAT HIS 2021 CAMPAIGN FOR CITY COUNCIL INCLUDED "WINNING ON ELECTION NIGHT" --- WHICH WAS SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED, BECAUSE ALL OF THE VOTES CAST FOR CITY COUNCIL THAT DAY AND IN EARLY VOTING WERE NOT COUNTED BY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS (BOE) BY THE END OF ELECTION NIGHT --- THE OFFICIAL BOE COUNT WAS NOT EVEN STARTED ON ELECTION NIGHT --- AND THE BOE NEVER DECLARED BRIAN FOX THE "WINNER" AT ANY TIME >>> EVER <<< AND ESPECIALLY NOT ON ELECTION NIGHT]
--- THIRD, FOX NEEDS TO DO SOME REAL DISAMBIGUATION ABOUT HIS CONCEPT OF "PAID" >>> "VOLUNTEER" --- WHICH HE REPEATED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES, MAYBE FIVE OR SIX
--- FOURTH, FOX GOT INTO A REAL MUDDLE ABOUT DEMOCRATS RE-REGISTERING AS REPUBLICANS --- BUT HE DIDN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT ARI KAGAN'S RE-REGISTERING AS A REPUBLICAN --- AND WHETHER OR NOT HE MIGHT HAVE A WILSON-PAKULA PROBLEM; AND SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST
--- FIFTH, BRIAN FOX RE-ANNOUNCED --- AND RE-ANNOUNCED --- AND RE-ANNOUNCED HIS ENDORSEMENT OF ARI KAGAN.....
If you want a few laughs catch the whole show on the Brian Fox for State Senate Meta-Facebook campaign site.
The voters know the progressive caucus voted to support the police. Death penalty also.
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprised to hear that. Thank you 131, for letting everybody know that both progessives and conservatives favor supporting the police and having appropriate penalties for serious crimes.
ReplyDeleteGail, I saw the Brian Fox video with a cameo by McCabe, and everything you said proved out. But I think you missed something very important, the picture quality sucked because Fox was partially backlit by a hot spot over his very reflective chrome dome. His labored breathing and Rasputin beard didn't help it look any better either.
ReplyDeleteDoes B Fox have a real job yet?
ReplyDeleteOnce a campaign starts talking about "re-registering Democrats as Republicans" you know they already lost
ReplyDeleteBrian Fox has been at this FULL-TIME for two whole years, and he doesn't know very basic stuff about how the party structures and rules are integrated with the Election Law of the State of New York and the New York State Constitution. As a result whenever he talks about any nuts'n'bolts political tactics like re-registering voters for a primary, or raising funds for the purpose of obtaining NYC CFB matching funds he does not know what he is talking about.
ReplyDeleteMost of all, he still thinks that having run twice as a losing GOP candidate, being a member of the GOP County Committee, and being "President" of the Verrazzano Republican Club means something to the people at the top of the Brooklyn GOP.
627, "Brian Fox has been at this FULL-TIME for two whole years, and he doesn't know very basic stuff" because he's Mr Mystery.
DeleteI still don't get how this vaguefella w/blurry past got into anyone's mix.
Why was Ragusa fundraiser called off?
ReplyDeleteWAS IT REALLY!
ReplyDeleteRagusa himself was doing a hard sell pulling out folks to come earlier on the very same day that the fund raiser was scheduled at The Lief. If it was cancelled, it was a last second thing.
One has to be suspicious something went very wrong for Manalapan Mike, because there were none of the traditional "Thank Yous" all around or even any pictures of close friends and family having a great time at the event.
I should quit my job, become a campaign "organizer," take a cut of "donations," and spend offseason drinking,
ReplyDeleteManalapan Mike is a no-way-qualified + unvetted toad.
ReplyDeleteAri is so dumb he doesn't realize he's being fleeced
ReplyDeleteRagusa is endorsing Kagan.
ReplyDelete416, Turncoat Dem Ari Kagan is a very qualified raider foisted upon the Brooklyn GOP + a very well-vetted toad that strongly backed and worked hard to implement the 2020-2021 budgetary diversion of NYPD designated funds to the NYC Bd. of Ed.
ReplyDeleteNo real Republican should ever support or vote for him.
1033, but apparently Kagan is the best Republican that Bk Republicans can find.
DeleteThe regulars at The Leif were looking forward to the free ziti

DeleteWhy does former Democrat District Leader and Democrat-elected City Councilman Ari Kagan keep campaigning with Democrat State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton at her sponsored events, even though Kagan now says he's a Republican?
ReplyDeleteRagusa dropping out. Found himself on peyote in the desert over the weekend. He will either endorse Avery or Anna but not Ari
ReplyDeleteBecause Scarcella and other Dems want to be on the winning side. Anyone near Justin gonna lose.
ReplyDelete124, because he's just in it for the job.
ReplyDeleteKagan on Facebook yelling about migrants. Didn't he come here from the USSR?
