Imagine if all interactions worked this way. It's the equivalent of walking up to a stranger and saying, "He's toast! Done!"

Christie from the witness stand. There really isn't much more to say. She said he knew. He is toast.

Thts how it goes sometimes.

I naturally assumed that people on a political site would be able to understand what was implied. I have to keep reminding myself that there is a broad spectrum of people on DU and some don't keep up with all of the issues.

At least Who and What, skipping the last three is ok... but at least the Who and What would be nice.

She buried him. He knew all about it and signed off on it. Then he came back and confirmed it was happening after his 9/11 meeting with Baroni et al.

since I've been similarly lambasted a couple of times.

1- Yes, we tend to assume that others are seeing/hearing the same news, or that past months of news is the foundation for the current story, and that almost all DUers are news junkies who can fill in blanks.

2- So some of us, in our excitement over breaking news, might fall prey to Shorthand.


However, the Complainers might take the teeniest bit of responsibility and (*GASP*) try Googling for themselves instead of taking the SAME amount of time to complain and pile on in an internet post.

When I saw the complaints, I Googled and immediately saw three items at the top of the Search results.

I don't seem to have nearly as much trouble with "contextless ops" as some.

it's the way of DU. Every thought that crosses a mind is worthy of its own thread here. Have a brilliant comment you don't want buried in discussion, because brilliant? Kick off a thread shining a light on that brilliant reply to another OP. Want lots of recs without much effort? Post something like "Trump Sucks!!1!" and just watch the accolades pour in!

Yeah, DU is a special place with special ways for all the very special people who are too special to be a mere part of discussion...oh wait, how deep can discussion be when it's all about the spotlight for ((((MEEEEEEEEEEE))))) ((((((WONDERFUL MEEEEEEEEEEE))))))?

I guess this suits the board owners and the regular participants so those looking for a little more substance move on for the most part.

It's merely a matter of taste as opposed to kindness, imo.

It was being reported outside the court house as I was typing. There weren't any links to reference and I would have kept giving information as it was coming out if I hadn't been piled on by the crowd of people who, apparently, would rather wait a hour or so to hear information like this.

You actually think I was fishing for a "Wonderful Me" from the people at DU???? I rarely visit DU and I was posting the news to the sites I do frequent because I thought people would like to tune in and watch it happen. Next time I'll skip DU. I'm only sorry that I came back to see if anyone had more information that I couldn't get. I had no idea the good news would turn into an attack on me.

I went on a bit of a tear there and was speaking in broad terms, generalities...

Though no matter the reason, such posts do tend to be pretty useless and somewhat annoying. 'K, done now.

Please proceed.

One more corrupt, abusive, and ultimately incompetent politician down. That's what matters..

Lock Him Up!

of it.

NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) --
Bridget Kelly, who prosecutors say sent the "time for some traffic problems" email that started the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal, testified that Governor Christie knew about Fort Lee lane closures in August of 2013 - a month before they started.

Kelly testified that on August 12. 2013, David Wildstein, a former Port Authority staffer who previously pleaded guilty in the case and is the prosecution's key witness, told her that the proposed traffic study at the George Washington Bridge would create traffic problems in Fort Lee.

Kelly said she then went to Gov. Christie to inform him about Wildstein's traffic study. Christie told her he was fine with the traffic study, and then asked her for an update on Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich.

She admitted in court that at that point, she didn't know who Mayor Sokolich was. That's when she then sent Wildstein the infamous "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" email.

.


He fired her immediately, when the email was leaked, without even asking her why she sent it.

He tried to remain ignorant in public.

Strike up a blunt & chill, dude.. 🖖Live long and prosper!

I need to set my DVR

I'm sorry, but this photo just never gets old

And that's "leadership?"

"STOP THE BULLY" begins with him as "Exhibit A!"

How dare an elected official treat people that way!

to see if anything can be done about these types of threads.

Anyone care to back me up?

I'm hoping the guys will get freed up eventually and address this issue.

This could just be a ploy to remove her credibility ahead of Christie's trial, to nullify the potential best witness for the prosecution.

he threw her under the bus, what the hell did he think she was gonna do?

what a dumbass

I remember the line Meryl Streep's character said to her hubby played by Bruce Willis in "Death Becomes Her"........"You do know what they do to soft doughy republicans in prison don't you?".

Anyone who did not believe Christie was behind this are in denial or empty upstairs.

Well, one of them, anyway!

Pot smokers in CO in prison.

Fucker.

This needed a clear window

Remember when Christie came out at his first presser after it happened and we were all so sure he knew?

Schadenfreude! Thank you!

In trumps fantasy white house game?

He embodies everything that is wrong with America today!

Expect this will drag on till doomsday.

Then he will cut a sweet deal. Wrist slap coming up.

Goddammit! Kyle and Stan closed the bridge!. I am innocent, this is bullshit!! Somebody kill Kenny quick!
