(27,315 posts)but frankly, I find HuffPo is more and more a place I do not want to be. They try too much to be sensationalist for my taste rather than informative.

(1,180 posts)HuffPost from my bookmarks. It's gone to hell since Adrianna sold it to AOL and has been over-run by right wing trolls. And, many stories sit on its pages well past their sell-by dates.
What news sources do you use to replace HuffPo

(19,841 posts)"My reaction wavers everywhere from comical to criminal," said Sokolich. "It is absolutely the most disheartening example of petty politics, which has gone so afoul, and to put the well-being of a community that has to deal with traffic issues every day to create a manmade set of circumstances that put all of us in harm's way."
"Since it would appear through these emails there was a level of intentionality, we demand an apology. We demand that somebody reach out to the folks that waited for ambulances, experiencing three to four longer response times than usual. They need to apologize to the thousands of families that couldn't get their kids to school on time on the first day of school. ... Somebody's got to cut Fort Lee back a reimbursement check for our overtime and all the other expenses that we incurred during those four days, because you have no idea what the mobilization effort around here is when something like that happens," he added.

(19,841 posts)On Wednesday, Buono told the Daily Beast that she believed all along the closures were "an act of political retribution" directed by the governor himself.
"This is a guy who runs a paramilitary operation, Buono said of Christie. "His people don't sneeze without checking with him first. But I think what really was the most damning [revelation] was the cavalier attitude that these folks had about subjecting children and the public to public safety hazards. These are terrible people, and the ringleader is Chris Christie."
Read the article.

(19,841 posts)with paranoid tendencies. Exhibits the excessive paternalism which often comes with Grandiosity. Like a father who exploits his own family, it's a sickness. The fact that he chose a similar personality type for his staffers is not unusual. Gang mentality.

Good thing this happened before he got anywhere near the presidency. What a nightmare a Christie administration would be.

(275 posts)How about this headline:
Top Christie aids punish NJ town in political retribution scandal
Really, this is so incredible that there's no need to over-inflate it Drudge Report style.

(275 posts)Or did they just place cones down and nothing more? How truly blatant is that?
Found this in one of the stories:
The official explanation was that the lane closures were part of a traffic study.
Truly blatant.
