Christie’s an idiot and a hypocrite, but... maybe he kinda has a point? I honestly don’t know what Democratic primary voters want. Probably lots of different things. I think it’s unfortunate, but tone/style can be even more important than more concrete stuff like policy, effectiveness, voting record. Do I hate that…

my lying eyes, i guess? I MEAN WHAT IS TRUTH ANYWAY THE POSTMODERNISTS WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG

Regardless of the typo/brainfart, this is consistent with his view that anything he doesn’t want to hear must be a lie. The icecaps are melting? FAKE NEWS. He admitted to harassing women (or worse), and it’s on tape? FAKE NEWS. His administration is locking kids in cages and has no reliable system to keep track of…

hey, as long as it wasn’t “executive time”!

I think there’s a (relatively) coherent foreign policy in place despite “the Malignant Mustache” - certainly he deserves no credit for any coherence in this or any other area (although he often seems to lean towards isolationism when it comes to our military, which I think is the absolute only thing I can think of to…

thanks, i’ll take what I can get :)

SORRY ,,TURNS OUT THIS PARTICULAR BATCH OF BATH SALTS IS PARTICULARLY STRONG,     COULD TAKE A COUPLE DAYS

Sounds like someone needs Twinkle Tush™ - Bling For Your Kitty’s Behind!

yeah, i got nothing.

Nearly everything out of Christie and Emanuel’s mouth is bullshit, but this particular stale, phony talking point needs to DIAF:

Counterpoint: No I don’t. I kinda grudgingly respect the move, sure, but respect the man? As the kids say, “nah fam.”

Sadly this isn’t a new development; it’s literally been this way for years (back in those halcyon days of Gawker, before Splinter even existed)

which reminds me: given he lives at THE WHITE HOUSE, why isn’t he constantly yelling at journalists to get off his lawn? he checks off every other “old man” stereotype, seems like it would be very on-brand for him.

that’s exactly what they should call it too.

Literally nobody is taking that approach.

I would argue that some rights we just, as you said, have, while others we earn, but again: semantics.

It’s actually intrastate commerce. The feds can’t regulate that.

I don’t regard denying someone a gun license as a “punishment.” Maybe this is an issue of semantics, but I think owning a gun should be a right you earn, and if you don’t earn it? Then you’re back where you started, which is fine. A punishment would be taking something away, a fine or criminal charge or something. If…

Thing is mandating at the federal level is unconstitutional as the federal government does not have that power, only the states do.
