Well…just a shorty on a little bit of news that I just read on twitter….a judge looking at Christie’s bridgegate scandal has found that there is probable cause to charge the idiot for all kinds of things having to do with shutting down a bridge as political payback to a mayor who wouldn’t endorse him…all I have to say is bye, bye Christie….hope you rot in jail….

Here’s another problem with the right…
Well…not sure if you watched the interview that Obama did with ole Billo before the SB, but I thought Obama did a good job at stabbing at the premise of Fox news and the fact that the “scandals” they report on are mostly only scandals since they are the ones pushing them as scandals. One of the inferences that has been made on Fox news for quite a while now is that Obama must have know what was going on in some IRS office in Cleveland and probably even was in on planning who was to get audited by that office…even though there is no paper trail or any person saying that he was…and, what president would have time for that? Then, of course, the right then goes on to complain that, if he didn’t know what was going on, he should resign since he is a bad president by not knowing. Got that logic? Okay, now let’s look at the reaction of the right to Christie’s shenanigans in NJ….and the theme that comes through all of the right’s reaction is that of course he couldn’t have had anything to do with it…after all, he said he didn’t and that should be good enough for anyone…and how dare you question anything a repub does? So, Obama should resign for something some far-removed subordinate did but Christie should stay in office for something his inner circle did….yep, doesn’t make much sense but the right never does…they always feel that they can do whatever they want even if it is against the law, but if they even think in their fevered brains that a dem might have, could have, or thought about doing the same things, they should be lined up and shot…what must it be like to live in one of those fevered brains? Don’t want to find out….geez…
Monkey see, monkey do…
Well…I just had to comment on the continued saga of ole Chris Christie and the political payback his staff laid on the mayor of Ft. Lee NJ just because he wouldn’t endorse ole Chris…I know he fired someone that is supposed to be responsible..but that doesn’t get to the root of the problem…and that is Christie is a bully, and he runs his administration like any bully from the playgrounds to the internet…how else does anyone expect his staff to act when they see bullying as accepted practice day in and day out? It all boils down to the tone that ole Chris has set for his administration of confrontation and attack against anyone who dares to not do what he says…and it showed up in this bs incident…monkey see, monkey do….geez…
Bye, bye Christie…
Well…I am relishing this obscure little story that pulls the curtain back on how Chris Christie and most other repubs operate…if you didn’t read this, in the fall, the mayor of Ft. Lee NJ, a democrat, declined to endorse Christie for his re-election and any other dem should do given that Christie is just another thug repub. What happened next is a case study in repub thuggery…the people in Christie’s administration conspired to close down two of three lanes of the GW bridge (the busiest in the world) that run into and out of Ft. Lee, causing massive traffic backups and hampering the ability of emergency responders to move through the city. At the time, Christie’s aides said it was a “traffic study”, a blatant lie given the release of texts and e-mails that clearly show that Christie’s top aide was part of organizing payback for standing up to Christie and his thugs. Christie even did a press conference, again blatantly lying that no one from his office had been involved. So, we have another example of the thugs in the repub party thinking that laws don’t apply to them and using the levers of government unlawfully to punish their foes… an offense that should result in Christie’s resignation at the very least, and prosecution for all involved…geez…
This is how it’s supposed to be…
Well…I am amazed by the air time and analysis that has been given to the remarks made by Chris Christie praising the President’s actions in dealing with the aftermath of Sandy….I think it’s a sign of the dysfunction of our society and the republican party that Christie will probably pay a political price from his own party for the comments…why can’t anyone be honest? Why can’t anything happen in this country without it being viewed through the lens of politics? I know there are questions of politics that need to be answered, but I applaud Christie for shutting down Fox news when they tried to interject politics when our fellow citizens are suffering…and I applaud Obama for just being president and doing his job…maybe we can learn something from this…that repubs and dems can work together if the repubs can stop the pettiness that has paralyzed the country for the past two years…okay, I know…not going to happen but I am still the optimist….
The republicans are still hypocrites…
Well…if you needed any more evidence on how hypocritical the repubs are about austerity measures that they say are necessary to make the economies of many states healthy again…and those measures invariable hit the poor and aged like a ton of bricks, just take a look at the latest repub star and his “let them eat cake” moment. Yesterday, governor Chris Christie of New Jersey took a Sate Police helicopter to see his son’s baseball game….yep, he wants to cut the benefits for workers, the poor, and the middle class since the state is so broke, then spends thousands to illegally use state property for personal benefit. But, you know that is how these guys are; once they are in power they use the government as their own personal plaything on the backs of the voters…geez….can’t they do better?
