Christie is obviously not on board with White House messaging on Covid. Time will tell whether he’s actually learned from his experience or if he’s moving away for political purposes because he sees the writing on the wall.

There are all kinds of creative ways for Christie to say “sociopath”.

Covid scared the shit out of Christie. I wonder how close to death he came.

Really? Really???

Clearly, Covid has damaged his cognitive thought…More.

The morbidly obese Christie is not surprised. . . he’s been supporting Trumpy for the past 4 years. He’s a fucking idiotic moron just like the rest of them.

“A little bit surprised”? C’mon Christie, you know these people, and nothing they do should surprise you. They’ll risk the lives of everyone around them to hold onto power and, for Trump, to stay out of the slam.

Pence has been exposed multiple times. My bet is that Pence has it and is going to continue to endanger everyone who gets close to him rather than admit it to keep from losing even more votes.

“Everybody’s gotta put the health of the people they’re going to be in touch with first,” Chris Christie says…

Chiselin’ Trump and Mike Pence, in unison: “That’s only if you care about them.”

Like his cult leader Trump, Pence is a sociopath. He couldn’t care less about endangering people. They are all campaign props whose lives have no independent value. The raging virus is of no concern. All that matters is retaining power at all costs.

These are truly evil people.

What a true patriot to muster “a little bit of surprise” in such a situation.

The question always arises in civil cases: where’s the harm? The pathology of this virus is off the charts. The dangers are known. And yet, people like Pence still live in the land of make-believe. Surely, his demonstrated reckless and wanton disregard for others makes him vulnerable to a civil case.

No, he’s actually pretty bright. The problem is he’s a moral leper.

Christie is seemingly ignorant that Pence is a lickspittle, a toady, a sycophant, an apple polisher, a suck up, a boot licker, a brown noser, a fawner, a flunky, and an obsequious, power hungry slob.

Heh, I’m not. More than anything else, the Trump campaign is, at this point, a superspreader event.

“No, no, kill you all! Die! Make you suffer!”

It takes great delicacy to stick the shiv between the 4th and 5th ribs while maintaining plausible deniability, and without leaving fingerprints. Praise where praise is due.
