One of the only breaks NJ people get, for living in a primarily Federal Donor state, with many refineries is low gas tax.

This asshole wants to now justify a tax hike of $0.24 a gallon by using this low rate as an excuse to jack it up.


Every year, he raids the TTF and moves surpluses into the General Fund, always causing contruction delays.

Now, shit is so bad, that for the past 2 years tax refunds were delayed, and he wants to raise the gas tax too.

My guess is his legal and political problems mean he's deeply worried and planning for a life outside politics. What he's been doing with Trump, while finishing what will be his last term as governor of NJ, suggests a final, wild swing at the golden ring. And perhaps the protection of being close to great power.

Those could be interesting hearings, especially if Democrats get the Senate. And how about a Gowdy style investigation of Bridgegate.

He knows he fucked up bad and that the only person likely to exonerate him would be himself, and I think his prostration at the feet of Trump as a means to that end only proves it.

Christie does not fit into the back of my campaign golf cart and there is a huge weight issue also. And he just can't seem to lay off of those oreo cookies ,doughnuts,m&m's what have you. But if you must know the truth if there is such a thing, Christie is not worthy of serving the Donald in the capacity of vice anything because he has far too many vice's of his own ! And when I told him about his being unworthy ,don't you know he told me he knows he never should have said that about me when he was on the campaign trail and went on to remind me of my strong belief in granting second chances.

He will continue bringing me McDonald's big macs for as long as the show goes on. I can tell you he is a fairly good man servant, that may be because the only way left for him to remain is through appointments or one in particular. The truth is ,he just doesn't fit in anywhere and that is a problem he brought down upon himself and it cannot be fixed or forgotten.I like the guy, he reminds me of me in some ways. And he wouldn't mind being placed in a position where he can or will take the fall, you know,like his bridge gate buddies ! Haldeman, Liddy ,people like that.

No way to fit him back there.



The whole thing becomes an eye sore. But you know he is such a glutton for punishment ,I really think I just might keep him around ! It is my party now ! Or at least for now. I'm thinking of creating a presidential appointment something to the effect of the Ed Mc Mann thing-you know, here's-ss The Donald ! Actually ,that is just the roll play he is best suited for . It says here in note I left for myself, in the interest of greater entertainment it is better to use Christie in that capacity now ,better than never. Not sure what I meant by never !

Great entertainment ahead folks.

I suspect that Chris Christie will run again in 2020, along with Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan and Nikki Haley.

Remember last week when Trump teased that maybe he'd quit after winning the election?

Christie is losing the accidental president slot because Trump is going with Pence.

What he did to get here to begin with:

1. Gastric bypass surgery
2. Beat up NJ Teachers Unions any chance he could
3. Screamed at anyone who criticized him
4. Threatened mayors who wouldn't support his re-election (Bridgegate)
5. Hugged Obama
6. Proved he was stronger than The Storm

is enough for this creep. I will drop this quote from former Star-Ledger reporter Bob Braun:

In the end, Chris Christie proved to be exactly what he was–a nobody. A nobody who lost a local Morris County election but who had a brother who could buy him a job he didn’t deserve and had no right to fill, the federal prosecutor’s position in New Jersey.

With his media friends, he built a false image of himself as a corruption fighter–even when he exploited his authority for his own corrupt political ends: Going after Democrats and Republicans who stood in his way, concocting entrapment schemes, leaking toxic information to hurt potential rivals.

The last and worst was his manipulation of the sicko Solomon Dwek to put the final nail in former Gov. Jon Corzine’s political coffin. Yes, that occurred after he resigned–but we all know Christie left behind loyalists who timed the “Bid Rig” investigation to come out just before the 2009 gubernatorial election.


and that sums him up. A nobody.
