Kingmaker Van Bramer

 

  LIC Post

 Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer has endorsed Amit Bagga from a sea of candidates vying for his seat in the City Council.

Van Bramer announced his endorsement in the midst of early voting and less than a week away from Election Day.

“In a crowded field, which includes several terrific candidates, I was proud to rank Amit Singh Bagga #1 when I went to vote this past Saturday,” he said in a statement. “Amit is smart, thoughtful, progressive, and has experience in government that will make him effective on day one.”

Van Bramer chose Bagga — the former deputy director of the NYC Census 2020 — out of 15 Democratic candidates on the ballot for the District 26 seat representing Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside and parts of Astoria.

The council member said he would be announcing the names of five other candidates who he believes would be qualified to take his position in the coming days, but wanted to make it clear that Bagga is his top choice.

Van Bramer, who is running for Queens borough president, was previously tight-lipped on who he would endorse as his replacement. However his longtime chief of staff Matt Wallace endorsed Bagga in May and the candidate was spotted at a backyard fundraising event for Van Bramer’s borough president campaign the same month.

Bagga, please! Nix the patterned shirt with the patterned pants. This ain't South Asia,

Yours truly,
Straight eye for the queer guy

Amit Bagga is the freak who covered for Anthony Weiner's weiner during weiner-gate. So think about that on election day (Or whenever you choose to vote)

If these foreign wage slaves were any less WOKE, they'd be filling in for cadavers at the Fisher & Sons Funeral Parlor on HBO's 20th anniversary of 'Six Feet Under!'

Has Jimmy Van Bramer dethroned Melinda Katz and become the King of Queenscrap?

Has anything ever REALLY changed throughout QUEENS County and/or the rest of our unaccountable, ravaged city——except changes that have WORSENED quality of life (that most people with at least a half a brain cell have already fled this hollow, nihilistic, dystopian city last year——and no one is in any rush to come back to this bottomfeeding trash dump?).

As long as you keep investing in a system that, by design, is still (and ONLY), in play operation to dupe, bilk, scam and damn you and your life of zero quality——IN PERPETUITY. It's never going to get any better, ALL prisoners and slaves of New York (as evidenced by how progressively worse all city government henchmen have been continually rewarded for their monstrously derelict, disloyal and completely unaccountable fail, with regard to ALL citywide services, allegiance to their ever languishing constituencies and zero social contract, zero social trust, and no pretense of ALL public trust, ethics, integrity, ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY).

In case you have been living in an illegally converted, below ground basement apartment in Ozone Park, the profoundly, cognitively dissonant-and-disabled, mentally ill sycophants whom you keep voting back into political control to wreak havoc (with flag and country) have NEVER lived by the rules——they make their OWN! Nothin' ILLEGAL 'bout THAT!

Well, that is a vote for Erection Day.

But seriously, as to Chip-on-the-Shoulder Jimmy, a product of our disgraced Library Board, he has managed to alienate just about everyone with his nauseating arrogance.

Amit is brilliant and dedicated to helping constituents. He does have the experience and the knowledge.

I wished that Amanda Nasner would run for this seat. At least we'd have some decent eye candy from JVB's office repping Sunnyside.
