[FakeNoose]

52. Got something for you

Oh my gosh I've been saving this for the perfect post.

[pbmus]

60. Good one

[montana_hazeleyes]

93. That looks like fun!

And dude was quite good at it.

[HipChick]

2. I thought it was going to be a beached whale..

He lied about being there? Until, someone told him they were pics?

At a Sunday news conference on the shutdown, Christie was asked if he got any sun today.

"I didn't," he said. "... I didn't get any sun today."

When later told of the photo, Brian Murray, the governor's spokesman, said:

"Yes, the governor was on the beach briefly today talking to his wife and family before heading into the office. He did not get any sun. He had a baseball hat on."

[malaise]

6. Three words

Venal and corrupt - he gets the beach to himself and his family. I hate these people

[LakeArenal]

15. Another three words.....

Vote them OUT!

[HipChick]

17. Better pic here..

can look at the poster child for the procedure. Look at those thunder thighs!!

[paleotn]

30. Poor chair.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. The outlaw Jersey whale

[kairos12]

41. Truly clever. Thanks.

[malaise]

44. DUzy

[NBachers]

46. OK, that's the best of the day.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

48. ROFL!!!!!

😆👍🏾

[Docreed2003]

63. You forgot this my friend!

[cwydro]

Perfect!

an aside: Marjorie Merriweather Post must be rolling in her grave, to see her lovely home turned into a lair for the dumpster and his criminal cronies.

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. He knows he won't be elected again, so why not let show his ass?

I am still trying to figure out how he got away with the bridge incidents.

[virtualobserver]

21. Brian Murray A.K.A Huckabee Spice

[George II]

38. Even when caught with his proverbial pants down (ugh!) they still lie about it...

...he was caught sitting in a beach chair and it looks like they were all camped out for the afternoon - blankets, chairs, cooler, etc.

It's in his freaking DNA to lie.

[ailsagirl]

40. Don't all repukes lie??

I mean, seriously

It's the norm to them

[Luz]

78. Really now, who are you going to believe, Christi or your

lying eyes.

[potone]

56. That doesn't look like work attire to me. N/T

[Not Ruth]

3. And he appears to have at least 3 troopers guarding him from his constituents

[Cha]

4. Good god! So, why did he close the state beaches?

[TexasTowelie]

12. New Jersey failed to get a budget signed by June 30.

Statewide government is closed except for essential services. Let's hope they don't need lifeguards.although they appear to have a flotation device nearby.

[Cha]

14. oh Wow.. there are really no apt words for

how horribly wrong this is.. so freakin' Christie goes to the beach and thumbs his nose at NJ.

hope the voters who got him a 2nd time are so proud of themselves.

Mahalo for this, Texas!

[Bob Loblaw]

80. To be brutally honest

if he's on the beach, he did the citizens of New Jersey a favor by shutting it down. No one deserves to be exposed to that.

[DK504]

103. He also kicked the families that lived in the houses behind him lived in.

[Cha]

104. Yeah, that was weird.. I read that later! Kicked out

of your homes over 4th of July because.. the asshole gov of NJ

[Solly Mack]

5. It's good to be the king and all that.

Entitled prick.

[NastyRiffraff]

7. There's SO much wrong with that picture

Of course, there's the fact that he claimed his own private beach. But then, there's Christie....in shorts.

[maxrandb]

8. Beaches or Healthcare

This is the Retrumplican party personified

I got mine, so fuck you!

[Delphinus]

20. Yep.

[maxrandb]

82. We need to make this fat fucker on the beach

The face of the Retrumplican party, just like they do with speaker Pelosi.

Awwwwww, nevermind. Just like tax cuts for millionaires, they'll think that if they only keep voting Retrumplican and clinging to their racist core, they too will have their very own whites only private beach

[malaise]

9. Read this arrogant comment from Christie

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/nj/chris-christie-island-beach-state-park-nj-shutdown-20170702.html
<snip>
“That’s just the way it goes.”

That was Gov. Chris Chrstie’s response to reporters on Saturday when asked why it was okay for his family to vacation at Island Beach State Park over the Fourth of July weekend — while everyone else was locked out of the popular destination because of the government shutdown Christie ordered, leaving state parks, beaches and other facilities closed.

“The governor has a residence at Island Beach. Others don’t,” Christie said. “Run for governor and you can have the residence.”

During a press conference with reporters on Sunday, Christie said he is planning on returning to Island Beach State Park by helicopter tonight.

“That’s where my family is sleeping, so that’s where I’ll sleep tonight,” Christie said. “When I have a choice between sleeping with my family and sleeping alone, I generally like to sleep where my family is.”

[central scrutinizer]

23. "Yes, I'm an asshole."

Whatcha gonna do about it, loser.

[riversedge]

37. It is NOT an essential service to keep the Vacation Gov Resisdence open

when the state park is closed to others.

[Cracklin Charlie]

62. How do you close a state park?

There must have been a gate that one of Christie's minions would have been told to get out of the car and open. Suck it, citizens of New Jersey!

Not cool, Governor Grifter.

[3catwoman3]

42. This sounds like exactly what I would...

...expect from this boor. Reminds me of when he very dismissively told a voter it was nne of her business where he sent his children to school.

[malaise]

43. One more uncouth moron

a genuine deplorable

[not fooled]

96. The poor helicopter

How does it get off the ground with his lardass on board?

Lying, sense of entitlement, thumbing of nose at voters, abuse of state resources, puke pol--yep, this one has it all.

Oh, and never forget that the corprolitic media promoted him--big time--as presidential material.

[Scarsdale]

101. Translation

I can not get another woman to sleep with me, so Mary Pat is IT.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. He is such a dick. nt

[neeksgeek]

11. Nothing to see here, Citizen.

Rules and laws are just for you little people.

[SHRED]

13. Send in more drones

Take pictures and video.

Harass the shit out of him.

[Freethinker65]

16. Great visual of what will happen when public resources get privatized. Yes. It's all for the "best".

[tblue37]

18. Let them eat cake. nt

[samnsara]

22. pig

[keithbvadu2]

24. The elite are special.... above the peasantry.

[George II]

25. Don't know why, but I was expecting to see this:

[mountain grammy]

32. Good one!

[MyOwnPeace]

33. Yep, me too!

[Adrahil]

26. Can we ease off the fat jokes folks?

It's beginning to feel pretty unfriendly in here to me.

[Shanti Mama]

66. I've always disliked the name calling and shaming that goes on here

What about When they go low, we go high?

[mythology]

70. Agreed. There are many reasons to dislike Christie, his weight isn't one of them

I get that those jokes are easy to make, but many people suffer from weight related issues, both those who are overweight, but also perpetuating the cycle that leads people to undereating in an effort to be thin enough.

Unfortunately many people are hypocrites and while they wouldn't make those same jokes about a Democratic politician, they feel it's okay because Christie is "the enemy".

[femmedem]

76. I was about to alert on one of the fat-shaming posts, but there were so many

I would have had to alert on nearly the whole thread.

I don't like Christie. I don't like Trump. But I also don't like it when we fat-shame them.

[ProudLib72]

27. Did they let the dump truck full of Krispy Kremes through the cordon?

Or was there someone on doughnut duty the entire time?

[Leghorn21]

28. Won't New Jerseyites see this?? Won't they go nuts over it?? Do they love him enough

to let this slide? Will they start a petition to recall him, or whatever you call it?

Or do they just like, LOVE him?

[ReformedGOPer]

54. I'm a former NJ resident

and most of my family still lives there. They're all Repubs, and they all voted for him twice. And now they all hate him. He has a 15% favorable rating.

[Leghorn21]

57. Thanks for this reply, Reformed!! So I guess they asked for him/they got him, eh (twice!)?

appreciate your inside scoop!

[VWolf]

81. Oh we saw it alright. And we're pissed.

This'll become a Murphy campaign ad for sure.

[fishwax]

91. his approval rating is 15%, but he doesn't care

He can't run for another term (term limits), so he just doesn't care. I imagine Kim Guadagno, the lieutenant gov and GOP nominee for governor is less than thrilled, though

[not fooled]

97. Hahaha

The negative impact on Ms. Guadagno's chances--something good will come of this after all.

Hope to gawd the voters of NJ don't elect another puke.

[Iliyah]

29. That's just evil

[hatrack]

31. What a selfish, arrogant prick!

How much longer does NJ have to put up with this steaming bowl of asschowder?

[Hieronymus]

35. Easy to pick Christie out of the group.

[Ilsa]

36. Makes me wish for red tide.

Or an oil spill right there.

[peggysue2]

45. Which is why . . .

Bully-boy Christie has abysmal polling numbers in my native state of NJ. His poll numbers are in the low 20s and his response?

"I don't care."

Well, you know what, buddy? The citizens of NJ don't care either. You and the Party you rode in on are out of my state come the election. Which explains the arrogance to bask in the sun with your family on the beach while the rest of the state--residents, vacationers and business owners suffer--from his blatant indifference. Can't tell you what a big deal this is for people with summer homes or the loss of revenue that small businesses will face. This is a huge holiday for shore people and shore businesses make it during the summer or they don't make it at all.

So, soak that sun up, you SOB. Because Jersey will be glad to see your butt wiggle out the door.

[smirkymonkey]

47. This is the republican mentality in a nutshell.

"I've got mine, to hell with you!"

[Thrill]

49. He's not that small. I don't think that's him

[weissmam]

50. The most hated man in NJ

[Achilleaze]

51. Republican royal values suck

The USA is a democracy, not a freaking kingdom with rich Republicans lording it over the peons. Disgusting.

[oberliner]

53. Remember when it seemed like he would be Trump's #2?

He was the top laptop for a while.

[solara]

55. Par for the course

Christie allowed the shut down of the government so he could have a private beach, like he allowed the "traffic problems" in Fort Lee in revenge for the Mayor's non-support. He and trump are cut from the very same cloth.

[img][/img]

[Bleacher Creature]

58. I really hate term limits.

I'd love to see how badly Christie would lose if he were up for re-election.

[oasis]

75. This incident will put a chill on any chance of his future ambitions. nt

[Takket]

59. This is what it means to be a Rethug, in a nutshell

All for me, nothing for you.

We must make sure this becomes a symbol for the entire GOP

Congrats to Cristie for his valiant effort to dethrone 45 as the absolute worst person in the country. He came up short but definitely gave it his all.

[Gothmog]

64. Christie is an ass

[Penn Voter]

65. the "king of Jersey"

has earned his low approval rating. He is so pathetic. Enjoy the beach, your highness, all of your ass kissing will eventually get you nowhere!

[Leghorn21]

67. Oh, fun!! "Chris Christie" trending at #2!:

https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=%22Chris+Christie%22


@ashleyfeinberg
I don't want anything but Chris Christie news for the next 48 hours.

@LOLGOP
Chris Christie exists to show us what kind of jerk off Trump could have been if he hadn't been born rich.

@davidsirota
I think this may be empirical proof that Chris Christie actually wants his approval ratings to go into the single digits. twitter.com/davidsirota/st…

[Eugene]

68. Leadership by example is so 20th century, I guess.

New Jersey beach shut for everyone bar Chris Christie and family

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/03/new-jersey-beach-shut-for-everyone-bar-chris-christie-and-family

______________________________________________________________________

First he lies about it. Then he defends it by saying, "I'm governor and you're not."

The people of New Jersey have my condolences.

[ellie]

69. Well, those morons

voted for him (http://bit.ly/2ufQ1uY) so, I have no sympathy. Too bad, so sad.

[Hestia]

71. If it is okay for him and his family, if I lived up there, it would be good enough for mine, too.

I'd put my chairs/blanket, cooler, etc., and sit near them. Kinda hard to say no, and being gov. doesn't give you special privileges.

[not fooled]

98. Oh, but that's why

he has (publicly funded) security, er law enforcement there. Taxpayer-paid muscle to keep the peasantry away.

[NCjack]

72. CC is pulling guard duty, protecting state property -- that will be

his excuse, and he will stick to it.

77. Now that's a giant "fuck you" if ever there was one.

[Motley13]

79. he would cause a tsunami if he went into the water

i

[wryter2000]

84. Un-fucking-believable

The Jersey beaches are gorgeous. How dare he close them and then go there himself. What an asshole. I hope the people of New Jersey kick him out on his ass.

[c588415]

85. Christie bears a strong resemblance to a fat clothed sea-lion,sunning on a beach

[Doug the Dem]

86. Why didn't Greenpeace come by and tug him back out to sea?

I'm very disappointed in them!

[Warren DeMontague]

No Greenpeacers around to push him back into the ocean.
