[Danmel]

Bruce blakeman, the trump toadies, knuckle dragging Neanderthal County Executive did not issue an order.
Disgraceful.

Donald Trump won Nassau County by nearly five percentage points: 51.3% to 47.5%.

Bruce Blakeman: "Worst Person in the World" as Keith Olbermann would say.

5. Bruce Blakeman is a truly horrible person. nt

6. I lived in Nassau County for over 20 years

Congressman Suozzi was the mayor of our town then the County Executive. He was impressive in those jobs but his middle-of-the-road attitude of late is dispiriting. I get it, he serves in a marginal district, (the seat had been Suozzi’s then George Santos won the seat for one term before being kicked out of Congress).

However, the Republicans who held the Executive position really suck. Two term Mangano was convicted of felonies! And this guy is a real piece of GOP garbage.

Frankly, Long Island is horrible in many ways. It is densely over crowded and traffic everywhere overwhelms the roadways. The local taxes are among the highest in the country. Property values are extremely high and out of reach for younger buyers. Many of the school systems are deficient. The politics mostly tends rightwards.

Two highlights of LI are the waterfront- beautiful beaches/boating/fishing- and plentiful reasonably priced public golf. Otherwise, I’m very happy I moved out of there!

16. HI, PJ! I grew 'up' there, after Brooklyn, that is,

then on to different places. Fortunately I didn't notice miserable things, 'just' good friends and fine schools; and still in touch with classmates from Jr. and Sr. High schools!

P.S., darn COLD here in MD today, and weather forecast to be 'much warmer' tomorrow than today!!! From hi of 30 to hi of 37 tomorrow. Been WINDY as heck!

You ssid you'd be traveling, so hope y'all are OK!

7. Wouldn't the flag be half-staff on federal buildings

like Post Offices and federal courthouses and federal buildings?

[cloudbase]

8. Absolutely.

As well as what is probably the tallest flagpole in the county (172 ft.) at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point.

10. It will look petty as the flags won't be flying in a uniform mode.

13. Petty is one of their virtues

They get off on it.

9. Republicans are not capable of being respectful, it's their fascist DNA.

11. His ex-wife is Nancy Shevell, now married to Paul McCartney.

Just a bit of trivia.
