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…
