4. This is how we know his feelings of sadness are real:

because he wasn't mad. Although he might get mad later.
After he is done being sad. This shows what a sensitive man
he is, because his sadness is bigger than a real real
big bridge or something. It is a very hard thing in life to
trust somebody, especially, say, a woman, for five years,
and then have her do something that hurts your feelings,
especially if you are a sensitive man.

Chris Christie: "I am not a bully." #bridgegate

This is him yelling at a woman while his wife laughs.

I posted this on another thread and someone replied that "his wife always has that creepy smile on her face"

That woman is probably somebody he trusted and then
she hurt his feelings somehow.

More unbearable SADness for Christie..

"But he missed a chance to express sadness about the 91-year-old woman who died when paramedics were delayed by Fort Lee traffic, saying, “It’s awful to hear,” but adding callously: “I’ve also heard conflicting reports about the cause of death.”

“It’s awful to hear” was interesting phrasing, typical of the two-hour pity party: It focused on the experience of the person who heard the news, not the person who died or their family. It was all about Chris Christie."

He's a psychopath, he has no feelings only set patterns of display for achieving the desired effect.

Let's take a second out of our responses to the scandal
and think about his feelings or his set patterns of display
for achieving the desired effect for a few moments.

He didn't fool a lot of people. Wanted it to be all about him and his fee fees

"His press conference was a master class in GOP damage control. He spent the majority of the conference in casting himself as the victim. Another chunk he spent in excoriating his mendacious staff for lying to him. (Note, he was angry for them “lying” to him, not for their actions.) He spared almost no thought for the very real danger in which he put the people he was elected to serve."

Everybody wanted him to be more sensitive and everything,
and now he's more sensitive and everything, but apparently
that's not enough. Now everybody wants him to also care about
other people, too. They keep moving the goalposts on him.

It is not a pretty thing when a sociopath tries to seem like a human
being and gets criticized even for that.

that morphed into a political vendetta, or
a political vendetta that morphed into a traffic study."

It is a riddle in an enigma in a pocketful of tears.

Via the Oscar-o-lator, he had 2 questions:

1. "Where's the tears?"

2. "Where's the traffic study?"

(not me, salin, but me the subject.)

The traffic study is the one who called Gov. Cuomo and asked him to call his people off in mid-December so that wouldn't push so hard on "me"'s people. Why "I" made that contact is making "me" cry, because I am so sad that they lied to me and forced me to try to coerce another Governor to back off any investigation.
