But ****ing LOL, Boss Hogg is tied to the Genovese crime family. I knew it.

derp

just ****ing lol

you gotta read this: The Trouble With Chris Christie, by Chris Hedges whom some of you may like.

So what? Take the name Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald and what do you get?

geesh, I'm not a screenwriter too, I'm just Woodward and Bernstein all wrapped in one and posting on a politarded poker forum.

What will Amanda say about orgies and the murder? That she didn't do it.

And one is more important than the other. I doubt Amanda's book would be required reading anywhere.

How Christie ever made it this far is beyond me, but read Hedges article for some insight on that. Christie is the right-wing's and the media's wet dream -- another George Bush, but far worse. Totally ****ing corrupted from Day 1. He started as a corporate lobbyist in Trenton, going to bat for Bernie Madoff.

Christie makes Huey Long, Boss Hogg and Bush look like altar boys.

How did NJ elect this bum -- twice -- just like Bush. Unbelievable.

But if you are following it at all, you can see that many in the media are not convinced that Jersey's Democrats will pursue this with the required vigor, because many of them either took handouts from Christie or are as corrupt as Christie himself. They keep asking the Jersey Dems if they will, and the looks on their faces do not instill confidence. Many of them look as terrified as Wildstein, or indifferent.

Just in case some didn't read the whole first article I linked:

Yeah, no mafia in Jersey....lol

He said that when he was the US Attorney for Jersey.

btw, Christie got his US Attorney job as a result of Rove's and Bush's cleansing of federal prosecutors, and he was then unleashed to find and convict Democrats for corruption, and that's about it.

I can't take it anymore, gonna get whacked before sunrise.

Alright dude, go to bed.

So basically, another Obama?

Hiyooooooooo!

Looks like Christie is playing for keeps:

btw, that thing I linked above quoted here:

Christie grew up in Livingston and graduated Livingston HS. But no mafia in Jersey, just on HBO, according to Christie. lol gtfo.

Richie the Boot was boss and mentor of Christie's family member, Tino Fiumara. In the 70's Tino controlled Jersey's unions and waterfront, as well as gambling, narcotics, extortion, you name it. By the mid 90's Tino was considered the New Jersey's "mafia powerhouse". Tino went on to be one member of a 3 man committee that controlled the Genovese crime family from 2005-2010. Christie visited Tino in a federal prison in Texas, saw Tino at family gatherings, and recused himself from criminal action against Tino, but according to Christie, mafia more prominent on HBO than in Jersey. I was laugheing in bed just thinking about that line. That pure chutzpah.

Another funny thing is how Christie, during his presser, talked about how he runs his administration like a 'family'. Yeah, no **** Chris. And when someone rats on you or is a potential legal liability, you rub them out or fire them (with a gun?) without asking a single question. Got it.

P.S. Is that where the word 'fire' comes from? That's probably how they did it back then, before modern society and labor laws -- employees pissed the boss off, he just shot them or lit them on fire? lol

Hunt em down jim! Your internet sleuthing will crack this case!

So Kornacki broke a bombshell on his show this morning.

Christie's LT Gov put the muscle on Hoboken's Mayor Zimmer to fasttrack a real estate development or forfeit her $100M Sandy Relief monies. She refused and only got 300k, and she wrote about it in her diary and she has always been on the record saying good stuff about Christie. She finally had enough.

Christie top lieutenants said Sandy money ‘connected’ to redevelopment plan: Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer

What's amazing about that is that it is tied to Samson's law firm, Wolf and Samson. So it's even more likely than before that Samson is crooked, and if that's the case, forgetaboutit.

There's absolutely no possibility Christie becomes POTUS. So this isn't about that anymore. I'm just curious if he really did boink Bridget and whether or not Christie is the de facto head of the Genovese Crime Family.

This stuff is interesting without the fantasy land fairy tales of mob connections and hits on journalists.

Well the mob stuff appears to be legit. Just not in the Christie participated in any of it parts.

I find that it is easy to state the known, the stuff reported in newspapers and online, like SeattleLou and most others here do. Any stiff can do that. And it's often a bad idea, because then you only know and believe what you read somewhere. That's a recipe for disaster.

The trick is to be able to state the unknown, before it is widely known, without being wrong too often. So far, I'm doing ok.

Take the Boston Bombing stuff way back. Some British Mod locked the thread. Probably payback for the War.

But I said before it was widely reported in the news, or reported at all, that Tsarnaev def was responsible for the Waltham triple-homicide on 9/11/12, that FBI-Boston was corrupt and withholding facts, and that Tsarnaev's uncle was CIA-connected. All turned out to be true.

FBI-Boston and Mass Staties went to Orlando and shot Todashev 6 times, once in the back of the head. Still haven't explained why. Nobody cares because something something phone numbers.

Tsarni was married to the daughter of one of the highest ranking CIA chiefs. That's a fact. I never said CIA was behind Boston Bombing. That's dumb. But why does no one want to ask Tsarni and Fuller why Tsarnaev was allowed to easily enter and then stay in the US after running afoul of the law on several occasions?

The Christie playing for keeps was a joke, sort of. Need a bit more info. Learn more about Bird, his writing, his associates. The timing was odd tho: 2 days after Christie's presser.

Everybody has their own style. You enjoy writing political fan fiction? Knock yourself out.

It was Sandy, not Katrina.

And there are 4 pointers in basketball.

And Phil, I take it you've given up on your misunderstanding of how book deals work in the US?

lol Brits

Yours isn't a style, it's blind copy paste from whatever you think sounds good, with little understanding of its actual meaning or implications.

I mean, take a risk, voice an original opinion for once in your life that you didn't just read or hear on the radio.

Anyhoo. tootles, the politard is strong with y'all today...

i already got christie fatigue. i came out like gang busters in the tragic death thread. now these latest hoboken sandy stuff man its too much. im done until they start testifying. but that mayor of hoboken to steve karnaki was like hey man i will testify under oath, i will take a lie detector, i will answer any questions...will the gov's office do the same? seemed pretty confident.

christie and his admin watched too much soproano's, got drunk with power, and some notion of "how things are done in the real world" or whatever. i mean there is corruption, sure, but its not all house of cards all the time. and if it is, then u better not be reckless about it. but again, we dont even know wtf on the bridge. the basic who's or why's. but its exhausting at this point.

This is a good scoop that will probably not get much attention ITT now that you've tarded up the last page of this thread.

A correction though, she asked for $100m, she wasn't ever promised that amount. Still, given the political connections to this special interest group and the pressure they were previously putting on Zimmer it's very believable that the Lt. Governor might have told her in no uncertain terms to cooperate or your town will face the consequences re: Sandy relief funds. And the fact that she recieved a pitiful amount of relief money given how hard her town was hit after not going through with this development plan is more reason to believe she is telling the truth, as is her willingness to testify under oath and take a lie detector test.

Needless to say, this is a bad time for Christie to be faced with another ugly scandal. Curious how he's going to talk his way out of this one.

Duh, yeah, Sandy.

Dunno what you are on about with the book stuff as I literally said exactly what you later said only using the term guaranteed payment instead of advance. But sure bro this guy is going to get a 5 million dollar advance about some not particularly interesting state level scandal which may bring down a governor and if it does will be old news by the time he could ink the deal.

Jennifer Rubin spent 2012 dutifully transcribing Romney campaign talking points and printing them as her column, but hopefully this **** is her freelancing and not the actual line Christie is going to take:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...ndal-is-msnbc/

The Scandal is MSNBC, for putting that Mayor on TV to tell her story.

Edit: I don't think Rubin understands. Either way, MSNBC gets a story with that Mayor. Either Christie was being Christie, or the mayor of a decent sized American city just made up some incredibly serious allegations, which is in itself a scandal(though obviously a Dawn Zimmer scandal won't get the full mafia fan fiction treatment, it's still news).

Seems weird how a new story comes out every 2-3 days.... wondering if that's standard for something like this or are people just leaking stuff just as the story exits the news cycle.
