Not With A Bang, But With A Garmento.

In news out of Rockland County, New York this week, embattled and failed Piermont, New York Mayor Bruce Tucker announced to a small group of his supplicant enablers that he will not be running for re-election as Mayor of Piermont in November. Apparently the news was initially only circulated in a secret e-mail to the few Piermont residents who actually like him. But news like that gets out.
 
This all presumably means that Bruce Tucker has no intention of collecting signatures for his own primary-run as the mayoral candidate for his party in a few weeks, too.
 
Yet be careful about relying upon this information. Bruce Tucker and his sycophantic toadies could well be playing yet another juvenile charade with this announcement. They have been known to play “Rope-a-Dope” and other comparable games before. They are reptilian. For example, they might be dropping a fake story while seeking to extract information on who will challenge Tucker in a primary or in an election. Tucker may then suddenly “change his mind” a week or two down the road, after some claimed "soul-searching". 

Meanwhile, the obsequious Tucker fawners are still conspiring to cram-down a maliciously-executed “Comprehensive Plan” on the mostly-unsuspecting and innocent Piermont residents. That’s happening right now, as we speak, and the Piermont residents had better wake up to it en masse.
 
All that said, it is right now more likely than not that Bruce Tucker’s political “career” has as much life left in it as one of his barbeque pigs on a spit at his now-defunct Front Street Smokehouse & Saloon in Elizabeth, New Jersey. You know. His business that lasted but a little over three years and failed economically? As far as the public record goes, Tucker's greasy pig "smokehouse" was never disclosed by Bruce Tucker to the Piermont voters. It was never even known-about in Piermont until posted to this Blog. Now we all know.
 
Back to Bruce Tucker’s cowardly surrender this week. It all started with this February 2, 2025 Groundhog Day Facebook post from the Piermont Democratic Committee – Bruce Tucker’s own party:

Incidentally, I am a political independent. I do not care about party. I care about competence and character.
 
While the Piermont Democratic Committee will probably have fixed their outrageous typographical errors in this Facebook post by the time that you read this Blog entry, here is how the Committee’s February 2, 2025 post actually read even as of earlier today, February 7, 2025:

The text above actually reads:

“Are you a Democrat interested in running for office in Piermont?
Are you willing to serve your community as a Trustee or Mayor?
Do you have the experience and time it takes to be a Village Judge ?
The following seats are up for election and petitioning starts February 25.  Primary is end of June for November election.
Mayor
Trustee, Incumbant[sic] Michael Wright
Trustee, Incumbant[sic] Mark Blomquist
Village Justice, Incumbant[sic], Marc Ruby, Esq.
[Bold-faced emphasis added].”

This raises the question. Why would someone dabble in even local politics if they were too stupid to know how to spell “Incumbent”, and too lazy to bother to look it up in either an electronic or a hard-copy dictionary?
 
You will note that no individual actually had the courage to sign the February 2, 2025 Piermont Democratic Committee Facebook post, although several names have been suggested to me as the possible authors of the above laughable mutilated text. Each of those individuals are Bruce Tucker apologist flunkies and true Piermont detritus. They know full well who they are. So do I.
 
But what was even more notable about the February 2, 2025 Piermont Democratic Committee Facebook post quoted and printed above, was that it invited Democratic candidates to run for Mayor of Piermont:

“Wait a minute”, everyone observed.
 
“Isn’t Bruce Tucker himself a Democrat?”.
 
Yes.
 
Yes he is.
 
So, through the beard of his Piermont Democratic Committee and its illiterate Facebook page, this Facebook post was Bruce Tucker’s planted way of quitting.
 
Of Bruce Tucker signing-off.
 
Of Bruce Tucker telling us that he no longer wishes to “serve” as Piermont’s Mayor.
 
Of Richard Milhous Nixon waving to us from the airplane.

Query. Does one cry when one pumps sewage out of one’s basement?
 

You will also note that in the above-quoted Piermont Democratic Committee announcement text, Bruce Tucker’s name isn’t even identified next to the word “Mayor” as one of the listed “Incumbants”[sic]. That is how hard Bruce Tucker sought to make his pathetic exit as quiet and hush-hush as possible:

Because Bruce Tucker is far too arrogant to admit his manifold failures.
 
To admit that he has been exposed as a political fraud and badly beaten.
 
To admit that virtually no one in the 2,500-person Village of Piermont likes or respects him.
 
To admit that virtually everyone in the 2,500-person Village of Piermont is sick of his destructive and crassly-commercial non-vision, his faux-civic culture of purposeful opacity and non-disclosure, his over-development scams, his amateurish patronage hijinks, his crooked infantile token-economies, his reckless over-spending, and his rank financial incompetence.
 
The cowardice of Bruce Tucker's withdrawal as Piermont Mayor continued as extant throughout this week. Tucker apparently went on the road and left town, to make sure that no news crew would be able to interview him on-camera about his failed mayoral reign and his hasty decision to depart the mayoral office. 

Thankfully, News12’s ace reporter Diane Caruso apparently caught up to Bruce Tucker on the phone, while the now-infamous Garmento Mayor was hiding-out. Tucker thereupon confirmed to Diane Caruso and News12 on the phone that he was not running for re-election as Mayor of Piermont. News12 ran the story briefly on television on Tuesday night, February 4, 2025, in rotation.
 
Here is the bottom line. Bruce Tucker just quit in disgrace, after 7+ years of desecrating Piermont.
 
No fanfare. No press conference. No press release. No post on the Village of Piermont website.
 
Somehow News12 seems to have been prevented from uploading the video of the February 4 News12 news piece to the News12 website.
 
Somehow Bruce Tucker seems to have prevented lohud/Journal News or the RCBJ Succubus from covering the story at all.
 
Somehow, Bruce Tucker even seems to have prevented the milquetoast Facebook pages of “Preserve Piermont”, “Piermont Happenings”, and “Piermont NY Community Page” from covering the story at all.

And you already knew that the worthless propaganda-trash "Piermont Newsletter", "published" on rare and unwanted occasions by Tucker-minion "Piermont Civic Association", will not ever acknowledge Bruce Tucker's departure in all its disgrace. The authors and publishers of that tripe would still be sucking-up to Tucker if he lived in Waymart.
 
This all surprises no one. Bruce Tucker has been suppressing news and information about Piermont government and his own malfeasance since he took office in 2018. 

Yet he lost that fight to me. 

As for the RCBJ Succubus and the milquetoast Facebook pages, there is a coward born every minute.
 
So – exit, Bruce Tucker.
 
Not with a bang, but with a garmento.
