Goodbye, you bag of gelatinous choleric diarrhea with a topping of ebola! Ain’t it great to reap what you sow? I’d also like to see you go to prison for Bridgegate, but you’ve probably thrown enough of your people under the bus to save your own bloviating, nasty, corrupt self. That sound is the door of Trenton smacking you in the flabby ass. Cheers! ---

As much as I loathe Chris Christie, there are worse people in our President-Elect’s inner circle, starting with Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner. The quality of most groups of people would be improved by giving Christie the boot. We’ve got an exception here, and it’s in the worst possible place. ---

I have to agree with **RTFirefly**. Christie was among the _best_ of the people Mr. Trump had advising him. ---

The good news: Fuck Chris Christie. The bad news: He was the only guy who had a transition plan. I detest the prospect of a Trump administration as much as anyone, but I’d like him at least to have a functioning administration. Less government - OK, fine. A decapitated government … it’s kind of scary to think about government agencies just flopping around headless. ---

Yeah, I accommodate that he probably was the sanest (not saying much) and most experienced guy on Team Dump, but he has repeatedly raped New Jersey and I’m enjoying this moment of vindictiveness . . . ---

Pardon my ignorance, but what is it that we’re supposed to dislike about Jared Kushner? I have to particular affinity for the guy. Certainly don’t like the company he keeps. But every time people say his name there’s this implied ominous tone. Why? ---

Yeah, Ivanka, along with Uday and Qusai are all assholes. Comes with the name and the genes, I guess. I’ve just never heard anything coming out of Kushner’s mouth that would place him in the same category. I guess I’m willing to reserve judgement until I know otherwise. ---

I’d barely heard of the guy until I read that he’s the guy who fired Christie … for once jailing Jared’s daddy! Those who think “like father like son” is a myth don’t live in the real world. Kushner the Elder was jailed, probably for financial crimes; Jared’s father-in-law is a contemptible sociopath who should be in jail… I’m not going to waste my time researching Jared’s sins. You Google him please and get back to us. Another of Jared/Trump’s key advisers was head of a committee who was unable to link Hillary to the Zodiac Killer murders … _so he got fired also_. Now we’re left with a key foreign policy adviser who led the “Obama is a Muslim” charge. :smack: Maybe we should be thankful there are intelligent gremlins in the Kremlin who might soon actually be running the White House. Even that might be preferable to the clowns Jared is dredging up from the sewers. Welcome to post-rational Amerika. ---

Trump moved on Christie _like a bitch!_ Maybe he was confused by the gender ambiguous name? ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Pardon my ignorance, but what is it that we’re supposed to dislike about Jared Kushner? Immediately? He purged some people from the transition team this week who kinda sorta actually knew what they were doing, for the sin of having pretty modest connections to Christie. I can understand his vendetta against Christie himself, although his Kushner, Sr. really was a crook who engaged in some rather aggressive witness tampering - got a prostitute to lure a (male) witness against him to lure the witness to a hotel for sex, filmed the action, and shared the video with the witness’ wife who IIRC was also a witness against the elder Kushner. But extending that vendetta to anyone with a casual connection to Christie when you need all the help you can get just to make sense of things - that’s crazy stuff. But fits in well with Trump’s own excessive loyalty requirements. And like Trump, he’s just another dilettante, doesn’t know shit. He’s the one who asked the question about how many of the White House staff would stay on. Yet he’s one of the first people Trump turns to for advice, apparently even before Uday and Qusay. ---
