LOL. Ya just can't make this shit up, folks!

Not a surprise. Not going to comment on Alite's intentions
But think this kind of thing could very well be a common practice,when we look at some of the politicians all the way up the chain,from city councilman to Congress,the Senate,etc

Start out as the neighborhood thugs, and get elrected locally. Or maybe a known criminal claiming he's reformed.Then they get a grant or a paycheck to run some kind of community center to fight drugs ,gangs,etc because the do gooders are convinced nobody can reach the kids like they can.Instead they use the kids for crimes and recuit them.Eventually run for and office. Next thing you know they could be in Congress-ex gangbangers,drug dealers,etc running the country

I'm surprised he didn't have a burning Saint's portrait in his hand, and that he and the Mayor didn't prick their thumbs so that their blood could run together...

I think it's even more sophisticated than that. Alite doesn't have to get his hands dirty anymore. Now he's going to be the recipient of bribes instead of the guy dropping off the envelopes.
.

Lmao!

Absolutely.

And, Havana, it just goes to show how so many politicians, in general, as well as how much of the general public, are a bunch of suckers to even allow degenerates like this to weasel their way into public office.

Like P.T. Barnum liked to say, "There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him!"

Turnbull, what a fucking joke this is, not to mention — what a fucking embarrassment and black eye it is — to politics in general, and local N.J. politics, in particular. LOL.

Not so much for that fucking rat Johnny Alite. After all, you really can’t blame him. That gutter rat will take whatever he can get. But it’s a much bigger embarrassment for the asshole politicians who allowed and even encouraged and approved him for a councilman seat. And the general public who are even bigger assholes for tolerating it.

Both funny and sad at the same time lol

No doubt about it!

Quite comical, in a tragic fucking way! LOL

On MANY fucking levels.

100% right

Yep

So many threads

Down is Up: New York Mafia snitch John Alite is now a New Jersey councilman https://gangstersinc.org/2025/03/17...hn-alite-is-now-a-new-jersey-councilman/

This Alite was NOT elected by the public's vote to the office. He was appointed by a local yokel politican (who's obviously a numbskull) to serve out the remaining months of an existing term.

Who says otherwise?

Well, when people think of an elected official, a councilman, you generally figure he was voted in by the public in an election. But this was not the case. If I understand correctly, Alite was just appointed to the position, filling an open vacancy for the balance of a short term.
