Tricia if your reading this please run to retain your Constable seat, Dees is not fit to serve we have never seen his DD-214! WHAT A RE YOU HIDING DUMPLING?!?
ReplyDeleteChapman is a lovely place filled with elegance and promise and endless possibilities. Has Chapman no government? Are Chapmanians being vaccinated? Has Susan Wild checked on the welfare of the Chapmanians in her district? Is the quarry a metaphor for something? Chapman is fascinating. What does Brad Osborne think of Chapman?
ReplyDelete"Harvey" is one of numerous fake names used by convicted liar Tricia Mezzacappa. Get help, Mezzacappa.
ReplyDeleteHere we go. Nazareth and it's good old boys club. Carl Strye Jr skims from his neighbors, friends, and fire company. And if you believe his vacations, RV, etc were funded with a mere 8k money grab, I have a bridge to sell you. Strye did all of this to his own community, and yet the brain dead want to elect him (in any capacity).
ReplyDeleteSpeaks volumes about many in the Nazareth gang.
Nazzy is fine. There is an ankle bracelet requirement for public officials. They are worn like badges of honor. as they traverse borough streets that are remarkably similar to the lunar surface.
ReplyDelete@8:08 - Not a Strye defender in anyway, but if nobody else wants the job, what other options do they have?
ReplyDeleteThe citizens of West Easton deserve a hard charging, well armed Constable who has a proven track record of reducing crime in her community not some limp wristed blogger who held the curious domain "smartchildtoys.com" , vote Mezzacappa
ReplyDeleteMezzalunatic (Palmer Pookah),
ReplyDeleteShouldn't you be feeding your flying monkeys, or is it you can't afford to share your meal of dog food with them? Who wants a an old jailbird who tries to frame an innocent black man, has a rap sheet and is mentally disturbed? Did Dees ruin your plan of begging for write-in votes on an empty ballot? 10 people dumb enough to write your name in won't succeed this time.
She's not a constable. She's an unstable con.
ReplyDelete8:08am - Wow sounds like someone is butt hurt in Nazareth. If you don't know the entire story, shut your trap.
ReplyDeleteCarl's not too smart and pretty dirty. But he'll always let you buy him a drink. What a guy. He perfectly represents the municipal halfway house that is Nazareth government.
ReplyDelete" If you don't know the entire story, shut your trap."
ReplyDeleteI know Strye lied to me several times before the theft proceedings brought against him. I know he admitted he's a thief in open court or he would never have received ARD. I know he is now claiming he took one for the team when the reality is that it is all about him.
