[Tomconroy]

And traffic now being halted on the Kerch Bridge?

1. Chris Christie

wrecking bridges the world over!

[Generic Brad]

2. That's a bridge too far

I'm not crossing that one!

[CaptainTruth]

19. Over troubled waters...

[BComplex]

3. I keep saying this: Chris Christie is going to be the republican nominee in November 2024.

There are too many republicans that already feel the way he feels about Trump and trumpism. They're going to come out of the woodwork as the trump trials continue.

9. He's seriously running. Watch this space.

[Hortensis]

10. He needs to work at keeping his speaking fee income from collapsing.

And craving for attention fed. The typical serious business of too many of these jerks.

But, yes. Done fairly competently, these days running can pay for itself, including lots of ego-boosting living, and leave funds over for investing in influence.

13. Very, very unlikely. Christie was there for his candidate profile. He don't know military strategy

from squat.

14. Oh I get it. Fat jokes. Ha.

Being obese myself it's not a problem since I'm one of the most sarcastic posters here and can fling it right back.

But others might not feel that way.

16. Um, no, it has to do with:

[Celerity]

17. Bridgegate

18. It's not his obesity --- "traffic is halted" on a bridge -- google "Christie bridgegate"

Short story - when Christie was running for re-election in 2013, he was angered that the DEMOCRATIC mayor of Fort Lee refused to endorse him. To punish her, he closed a Fort Lee entrance ramp to the George Washington bridge going to Manhattan. This led to incredible traffic jams throughout the city ... on the first day of public schools.

I agree that fat jokes are inappropriate and there is precedence that making them can hurt the one using them. Being from NJ, I know there are people who think he won because of an ad about an abuse of power by Christie, when as a federal prosecutor, he used his position after going the wrong way on a one way road and getting involved in an accident. Rather than JUST making the facts the issue, the commercial had a photo of Christie getting out of a car where the angle made him look heavier than he was. That ad backfired on Corzine.

23. I'm well aware of Bridgegate, being from Jersey myself.

However, the inference could be taken in either direction.

I actually like Christie (somewhat) because he's not an INSANE NAZI like the rest of them.

25. "Looks like

the Kerch bridge is done, Zelensky’s got Christie on the job"

Nothing about obesity implied.

[relayerbob]

15. Bwahaha

Bringing in the bridge closing experts. (seems like a lot of people don't understand the bridge thing, though)

NAFO Crimea Beach Party time:

[okaawhatever]

20. Sickening, he has no business there. Playing President for a day. Can you

imagine if Obama tried that? The republicans would have been apoplectic.
