LOL! Fives of People Show Up For Curt Schilling’s Sad Donald Trump Rally

Former MLB pitcher and likely future Massachusetts senate candidate Curt Schilling didn’t look too happy during his very sad Donald Trump rally which he held at City Hall Plaza in Boston. Schilling, who is known for posting offensive comments and memes, looked pissed off because almost no one showed up to support Gropey Donald.

GOP N.Y. State Senate candidate busted in alleged Craigslist rent scheme

A Republican candidate for state Senate was busted Friday for bilking at least 10 people in a Craigslist rent scam, police said.



Jon Girodes, 38, faces several grand larceny charges for listing his ritzy Hell’s Kitchen apartment online and collecting rent deposits — only to back out of the deals and keep the cash, cops said.

Girodes, who is running for the Harlem state Senate seat now held by Bill Perkins, stole a total of $50,000 from 10 victims, both men and women, police said.

After listing his luxury digs at 635 W. 42nd St. and demanding a year’s rent in cash up front, the politico refused to hand over the keys, cops said.

He stole over $11,000 from one woman alone — $7,750 for a purported lease and another $3,500 to “help” her find an immigration lawyer, ABC reported.

Girodes, wearing an untucked violet button-down shirt, jeans and loafers, grinned at reporters as detectives led him out of the 7th Precinct on the Lower East Side Friday night.

Girodes’ bust comes just days after he outraged Harlem residents by telling a reporter he planned to woo prospective voters in the historically black neighborhood with Kool Aid, fried chicken and watermelons.
