This was found while unpacking old Christmas stuff.
A reminder that Chris Christie was the proto-Trump. He…
✔️ Was full of piss and vinegar
✔️ Defunded public media
✔️ Defunded critical infrastructure improvements
✔️ Denigrated unions and union members
✔️ Acted like an asshole to his constituents

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want to put them in trauma.”

“‘They were going to build an FBI headquarters 3 hours away in Maryland, a liberal state,’ Mr. Trump said… exaggerating the time needed to commute to a Washington suburb…“

The problem with Trump’s statement is NOT that he exaggerated the commute time.

This is much more interesting than 7 million protestors
It's less than 24 hours after 5-8 million Americans marched against a president who called them domestic terrorists, and there is zero reference to it on the current NYT home page, except for a Bouie op/ed that came out several days earlier.

The lack of self awareness is strong in the GOP.

Lucky for them, it only lasts a week. They’re back to racist texting and anti-Mexican memes on October 26.
