The "party girl" description has a lot of deep connotations for the particular brand of sexism on Wall St. Women are seen as useful for a "good time" when those guys who "work hard" get to "play hard".

It is no wonder these guys get to basically control our country. They have earned it.

I called this one too.

Anyone who thinks a Dem or Republican cares about a citizen 1 iota is simply brainwashed.

He cares about himself and by extension the kingmakers on the inside of the political circle who can feed his narcissistic desire to rule.

When are people going to wake up and demand that America fulfill its promise?

IT IS ALL PROPAGANDA

In the classroom of the real world, here is the syllabus for Christie?s new course in Surviving Scandal 101:


Investigate yourself ? and announce the results before other investigations have a chance to get very far.

Hire your friends and former colleagues to conduct the investigation. Pay them $1 million, possibly more.

Don?t use your own money. Stick taxpayers with the bill.

Enjoy a good laugh when your investigators use circumstantial evidence to embarrass your enemies or conclude your foes are lying.

Leak the results of the 360-page report to The New York Times to get front-page coverage.

Hold an hour-long press conference to comment on your self-exoneration. If reporters ask questions you don?t like, instruct them to ?cut back the commentary? or ?get the facts right if you want to ask me a question.?

Claim responsibility for being a leader, but be sure your subordinates take the blame.

Offer interviews to ABC and Fox to sell your version directly to the national electorate. Tell everyone that Bridgegate won?t affect your decision on whether to seek higher office. PS ? If your wife and kids are present, Diane Sawyer is more likely to be sympathetic.

Quietly resume the 2016 Christie for President campaign. Fly to Las Vegas the next day to woo a billionaire political supporter.

Anyone else find it hilarious to hear Monroe using the 1% label?

You really will do anything to defend your hero Chris Christie. You are either a paid, paying (invested heavily in Christie campaign and probably profiting from his favor), or just infatuated. You are right about the Dems though they are the scum of the earth just like the Republicans.

I can't take anything McCann says seriously. Of course he'll write an anti cop piece . . .he is a convicted felon who threatened a judge.

The man was a felon and ran for school board. You don't even need to go to the rumors of coke, poop on the desk, etc. Just that alone is enough that he should be banned from Hudson County.

That said I wish their were more politicians like him . . . . .

. . . . convicted felons!

Christie falling back on the "hate the teachers move" it got him this far why shouldn't he use it to get out of trouble.

The hypocrite sends his kids to Delbarton where they have a shorter day and shorter year. This is good for your kids (especially if they are the "children of Buono voters") but not his!

Kids don't need more time learning from their government they need more time learning from their family.

Most or all workers should have the same work day as their child's school day so families can exist again. Otherwise, might as well get them used to the wage slave hours early. . . sure.

This guy is a fascist cut from the same fake everyman cloth as GWB.

It is amazing how well the media programming works in cases like Monroe. Thinking and speaking exactly the party messaging wants you too. They push the Voter ID like some defenders of the democratic process. Voter ID fraud is not a significant problem like say absentee ballot fraud is (I would expect someone from Jersey City to know this well) yet they never talk about that because well their purpose is obvious. Campaign finance reform, the electoral college, "Winner takes all" voting methods, etc. are all much more threatening to our democracy but they don't fit into their stupid "you need a license to open a bank account" slogan.

Quote:

Monroe sure likes to criticize the politicians for their BS lying but he seems to really embrace their debate tactics.

You are right he is the king of dodge ball.

Freakin libertarians too gutless to embrace Anarchy. They criticize the poor for being "entitled" but they are the most entitled lot on earth. Their luck/skill in some quasi capitalist system entitles them to the whole world. They hate the Govt. but really only hate half of it.

They play right into the hands of our corporate and political elites.

Repeal emtala for American citizens?

I think he should remember that the public sector includes politicians. Politicians are the "you people" I am tired of. Politicians have all of these platitudes about accountability but they can invade a country under false pretenses and get away with it. The private sector has "accountability" for low level employees but the boss can screw up and his employees have to fix it. What about accountability for all the people who crashed the economy? The Wall St. private sector owns our "democracy" so they get a fresh bonus instead of a punishment for some pretty severe screw ups. You guys argue over illusions. Both of our two parties are traitors and criminals that sucker you into cheering for the one you hate the least.

Of course he is. Why do we keep thinking that politicians can be "different" and reform the system created by their fellow politicians? People that are really different or want real reform aren't allowed entrance to the cess pool. Fulop will do the same thing as Booker did. He will treat the city as a rung on the ladder of his political career; something to be stepped on and left beneath him before anything really changes.

Christie is a great politician - he is very good at serving his own career and messaging (via his advisers/ministry of propaganda).

Keep fighting over your favorite head on the two headed beast.

The lesser evil is still evil.

Also bringing radon to JC.

The people in the W. Village made this flashy video:

Adonis,

This might win a sprint but won't win a marathon. I won't invest my money in such an unethical place.

fat-ass-bike - genius idea! a reality show would be so much more fitting than the "news" coverage they enjoy.Quote:

Goldman's latest scam may inch it ahead as the most shady org in JC. Although I am not even sure it is worthwhile trying to differentiate between the Government and Goldman any more . . . more of a convenient partition.

Investigation into how Goldman gets even richer doing nothing of value
