Suuurrre. Totally "what type of politician that we need carrying the party banner". Looking at who's backing her, I'd say The Party is being taken for a ride. But that's just my opinion. From all I've read & researched & its not hard to find. money & media, millionares & billionares, a PAC in every pocket & only one person stands in the way. Truth is, no one knows how the investigation will play out in the end. We each can have our opinions & preferences. I'll stick to mine & others will stand by theirs. It's politics afterall. #someonewantsapardon |

2016 Presidential campaign, but now, according to outrageous conspiracy theories being spun up out of whole cloth here, she is some wild-eyed, mobbed-up she-devil out to take over the entire state of NY.
This place just kills me at times. 
BTW, She also beat Jeff Klein, the leader of the Independent Democratic Conference (the group of breakaway so-called Dems who sold out the Democratic Party and gave control of the NY Senate to the Rethugs by caucusing with them) Ironically Klein was also under the cosh with sexual harassment charges.

Your target ALL ALONG was Alessandra Biaggi you feigned ignorance about her in post #2 Yet we are to believe you just happened to post an OP about her grandfather, whose days of infamy were decades ago and has not been in the news for ages, OTHER than due to his granddaughter?

sides.
You posted about a person who is only remotely in the news due to his granddaughter, yet you then claim in post #2 to not even know who the granddaughter is. Then you claim in other posts that your reason was to show her mobbed-up ways, a slur backed up with zero actual evidence, only twisted CT, and a slur against an elected Democratic state senator using a very problematic ethnic template, and all that magically arrived at about a person you had just claimed to not even know of. I have NOT called for Como's resignation, I think the investigation should proceed. I am more troubled about the nursing home issue (which, despite gaslighting attempts by some, is a real issue and a lot of trouble for him) than the harassment issue atm, although both are serious charges. I also (because I can walk and chew gum at the same time) am now calling out this hit job attempt (see I can work in mob terms too  ) of an OP/thread.
Absolute zero contradictions in my stances, and I have nothing to hide, so nothing to out. |
