I'm about 14 hours late on this one, holiday weekend at all.

But seriously, Bruce, don't you think the wretched afternoon Christie spent on that beach that so disturbs you is matched by Trump's three hour sojourn he took while he watched the TV entertainment of his rabid supporters trash the Capitol on Jan 6 looking for his Vice President's head? (Of course what they would have done with it is anybody's guess - I don't think the average IQ in that crowd was on the high side).

And on the back stabbing - ask the hundred or so contractors Trump totally screwed in Jersey as he bankrupted his companies three times. Or the poor minions who enrolled in his fake university. (yeah, yeah - they got a small settlement) But that's ok, it's capitalism.

I guess that's the American way.

And sycophant? Oh boy. Let's see. Trump on bended knee to Putin in Helsinki doing service on him. Does that suffice?

Somebody better tear into that opportunistic charlatan - and if it's Christie - so be it..

A friend who has a similar unhinged hatred of Trump remarked to me before the election that "if he had the choice between voting for Trump or a pile of shit, he'd vote for the pile of shit."

Now after 2 1/2 years of Biden's misgovernance, racial division, corruption, and general senile imbecility, I pointed out to him that he got his wish.

But the beach?

Your hatred of Christie is over that? That’s a lot of animosity over a pile of sand..

There appears to be a lot of BDS on this site as well. So let’s call it a draw..

Think about it for a second. Enjoying a vast expanse of sand and sea that you deny your subjects. That's the mindset of a Mideast Potentate or Nicolae Ceascescu or Kim Jong Un. Not an elected public "servant." 100% disqualifying.

Who we are is oft expressed in one act. But, with Christie, it wasn't just one act. Yet that one stunningly tone deaf and imperious gesture alone spoke volumes about his unfitness.

When I refer to your three examples I see the state murdering its citizens for imagined crimes. Not a day denied on a beach. No matter. Christie was probably tone deaf there, but hey, so was Trump when he boasted how he could do whatever he wanted with women because of his celebrity. But since be lowered taxes, that’s forgiven. Christie is owed the same, imo.

I didn't see Trump's comment so much as a boast (but who knows with him) as a comment on the type of women who prostrate themselves before rock stars, athletes and other celebrities. Or vote for people such as Gavin Newsome based solely on his looks.

It might have been a comment on how ‘women prostate themselves’ if it had been said generally (and of course, carefully - in today’s climate). But he injected himself in it and you knew it was only about him. As it always is..
