The face you make when you need to find a real job in 2021 (along with the guy who screwed you). Great photo from QNS' Mark Hallum.
Poor Liz Crowley, Jimmy Van Bramer and Paul Vallone will have to wait a little longer to run for BP. Oh, the humanity!
Update: CBS NY this morning and the NY Daily News are still saying this race is too close to call with 3,000 absentee votes still uncounted and Melinda is katerwauling for a recount.
Looks like Lasak wound up giving Caban a hand:
Gregory Lasak, a Queens prosecutor, took nearly 15 percent of the vote, possibly siphoning support from Katz.
Cabán ran strong in Astoria, Long Island City and Sunnyside. Katz, meanwhile, underperformed in Broad Channel and the Rockaways.
There were Lasak posters everywhere in Howard Beach, Broad Channel,
Rockaway Park, Neponist and Belle Harbor. Over 3,000 absentee votes
still have to be counted but it's a certainty it went to the retired
prosecutor.

I get it, this blog has turned into a Socialist supporting cheerleader.
Wonderful
I'm not thrilled with Caban. But I sure am happy that crappy Katz isn't getting the DA gig.
Hey, I was a Lasak guy but since he didn't win, I am so glad Caban is going to take it. Watching the machine disintegrate in real time is just too delicious. Plus, now you will be able to buy legal BJ's in Flushing and everywhere else in the borough! Woo hoo! BJs for everybody!

No, it's about the Queens County machine getting their ass handed to them 3 election cycles in a row. It's a big deal.
Great news Katz the protege of convicted Felon Alan Hevesy and underling of crooks Joe Crowley and Gregory Meeks lost, not so great news crime might be going up in the very near future
No you dont "get" it, newbie. The term "Katz litter box" goes wayyyy back over 10 years ago on this site. When Ocassional-Cortex was in high school.
The rumble coming down the mountain with the election of Cortez was not a airplane or superman. People weren't listening to the warnings "oh that wont happen" Result: Shock and Low voter turnout in places like Ridgewood, Glendale.
The Queens machine was no match for the fed up people of color and around 200K Millennials (most who are also non white) that just came into the voting base this year.
deBlasio, Trump, Pelosi, McConnell and near every politician conservative over age 50 is next to get the boot.
There’s an electin in November. Vote for the Republican candidate ,it’s not over yet,Johnny.
Yes being a Pinko is the "In Thing" thanks to our Education system.
I voted for Mina
The big question is when those absentee ballots (comprised of, among other things, dead seniors that never get taken off the roles unless a few years past) will be acceptable without challenge.
Anon above step out of your leftist bubble for a moment. Caban's victory last night was the first signal that Trump will get reelected as now the national Dems will be lurching even more looney left. And McConnell aint goin' nowhere. Kentucky is Kentucky bubba.
I'm technically an independent but vote more Republican.I'm not happy Caban won but glad Katz didn't win.
It is good news when any political criminal establishment (in this case the Queens Dem Machine) that has a stronghold falls, PERIOD. I mean, really, what how has the Queens Democratic Machine done for Queens, has it gotten better, have communities gotten better, have people's lives gotten better, NO, NO and NO.
The Queens city council this year spent capital money like drunks. Its pretty sad to see the cultural community, which has a reputation for free thinking edginess, stand in line with spoons and bowls ready to read the script they have been given.
We are winning in the streets, but the cultural community is getting destroyed.
And the millennials listen to the cultural community - that is the 5th column in all this.
One machine dies another takes over.
Meet the new boss. Yada yada.
It’s good to see the Queens dems get cannibalized by their own stupid identity politics. Couldn’t happen to a nicer group.
"... has the Queens Democratic Machine done for Queens, has it gotten better, have communities gotten better, have people's lives gotten better, NO, NO and NO.."
The classic case perhaps of "better the devil you know than the devil you don't."?
Caban wont prosecute fare-beating? Is she nuts? How about breaking and entry? The one vestigial hold on civility - Broken Windows - now a thing of the past. "No Law and Disorder" just around the corner.
Hurricane Maria refugees, already citizens, reshape the entire east coast
Damoto's Chinese Queens lost her leadership slot. So did lobbyist Bob Bishop.
Caban will prosecute white male rapists and white collar criminals. She won't prosecute Crowley and company because 4 years from now they'll be holding hands in support of each other.
Interesting that Lasak underperformed...I bet a lot of people who were considering him or another candidate swung to either Katz or Caban.. Also something to note; both the Daily News and the Post endorses Lasak and then basically focused their coverage of the race as a matchup between Katz and Caban. Caban’s victory clearly points to the fact that newspaper endorsements have little significance
When will you learn: social conservatives were always socialist conservatives
The out of state transplants have destroyed Western Queens and they're on their way to destroying the rest of Queens too.
the bigger loss for county was the judicial race and maybe the party will get rid of Reich, Sweeney & Bolz
I never thought I would see the day when the Queens Machine would come tumbling down
https://nypost.com/2019/06/26/gop-candidate-for-queens-da-says-he-may-not-challenge-democrat-tiffany-caban/
he gets a judgeship and katz runs as a republican.
If the Republicans offer to nominate Lasak to run for DA on their line in November, would/could he accept the nomination? Would he be crucified for being an opportunist turncoat?
The answer to break the machine isn’t to lurch Left.
If you think these commies will improve all the things you guys complain about you are certifiably nuts.
Vote Republican in November
A friend who works for elections (its some bunker in Ridgewood near the old Oasis theatre) just got notice they will be working overtime till the end of July with all the counting.
---No summer for them
Re: Vote republican.
So who will it be? Or will one just write in "a republican"
Paul Vallone better learn how to shine shoes
Dan Kogan is a proud life-long YAF-er, need no dieuretic Lasak
The eternally vindictive Giuliani clan finally punished
Meilin Tan for listening to Damato and voting against Fran.
So who will it be? Or will one just write in "a republican"
Kogan's name will appear on the ballot.
Nate Silver 538 predicts 2020 Electoral College 232D:219R, Senate 46D:51R, House 218D:196R
"Paul Vallone better learn how to shine shoes". SJU law school has a mandatory course for that
Plus, now you will be able to buy legal BJ's in Flushing and everywhere else in the borough! Woo hoo! BJs for everybody!
Let's rename them Cabán jobs, in honor of our DA-elect, who wants to decriminalize sex work. I guess things will be looking up along Main Street, and along Roosevelt Avenue, as the Cabána girls earn a living and get the economy moving. No need to build a wall - just order more penicillin.
I don’t vote because I get really tired of the Africans at my poll site looking to see who I voted for. When I ask them to move away from me they get threatening- The police do nothing & the election workers see who everyone voted for. - silly me I thought voting was secret in this country.
Last anon:
That's actually what happened to me the last few times. So this year I made sure the person who is by the machine is distracted or talking to someone and I sneak over there and put it in the slot. You should have seen how fast the last person jumped to aide me. The trick is to keep the sheet in the big folder when you get there.
That's the real unsettling thing, they have aides by the scanners, whereas with the old lever you had the security of the thick black curtain. These aides actually try to peek. There really needs to be reorientation at the Board of elections and the return of those great old machines.
So caban is totally unqualified and relied on identity politics and the progressive momentum (and this is coming from a progressive!!). Katz is partially qualified but her connection with real estate developers terrified me. Lasak is definitely qualified but I think his campaign missed out on what people want today.
Honestly - lancman was the best candidate, a true progressive with management and policy experience who has been doing real work in queens for years. But the progressive democrats failed him but not providing him with any support.
Oh and btw... I think caban won because of the gentrifiers swarming western queens. They don’t realize how damaging her inexperience will be to the borough because they don’t care about the long haul.
Only flip side is maybe once we don’t prosecute any crimes and streets aren’t safe anymore rents will go down & the gentrifiers will escape back to their suburbs 🤣🤣
Lasak for diuretic adornment
"God forgives, Italians don't" Giuliani father was mafia.
There are rumors the italian mafia run nyc and slaughter and enslave whoever they want behind closed doors...entire families perhaps. Nyc is a concrete jungle. The italians are scared of legalizing pot because that will make them lose control of the drug market.
The Chinese Art of War is by stealth. China is fixing its aging problem by dumping its elderly on our welfare systems. China has just started using biologically cloned humanoid drones in its factories and military to counter population aging from one child policy.
This biocloning was started by Tong Dizhou in the early 1990s to produce star athletes and organ parts but was later taken up by the PLA military. The clones are grown in the wombs of slave women from allied African dictators and have been known to appear on American soil as illegal workers. These illegal workers have special implant chips which relay data obtained from Chinese spyware in our televisions and computers to be used to supress Americans opposed to Chinese hegemony. They are also used in special calculator chips that allow Chinese to cheat on standardized exams by having a committee work on the exam at the same time. China has always believed in war by stealth, in avoid open conflict, stabbing you in the back while full of smiles. The bogus swine flu pandemic is being used to inject nanoparticle monitoring chips (made from aborted babies) which also have the
ability to dissuade patriots from religious belief. Designed by Chaoyang geneticists, they will be used to make the white race servile and sterile while creating a front for our occupation by Chinese drones, disguised as health workers
China, Italia people, same mind.
