or out of my fingers on the keyboard.

So many of these jerks are now trying to rewrite their history so they can try to wash the Trump taint off their hands.

Some of us have looonnngggg memories.

No amount of backtracking or rewriting will erase the histories of those who sucked up and squeezed tight when TFG was in power. All they can do now is try to clean the slate, but it ain't happening.

I think it will be our job to make sure the truth is continually spoken/out there every time these jackasses try to act like "I never really knew him" (who else does that?) or "I never went along with what he wanted". I won't let the media rewrite it either. We need to call them on their b.s. also, like waiting around for him to come to the podium as if every fart out of his orange anus mouth was noteworthy.

He wanted AG. But, Jared was having none of that. Seeing as it was Christy that put his dad in jail.

Hey Christie. You are free to contact the committee and testify. Any less is just self-promotion and lip flapping.

because I turned him off as soon as he started saying Trump had some smart people around him. Christie hasn't paid for Bridgegate - why he's on ABC I don't know.

Giuliani proved to be a useful idiot and eventually got to the point of being Trump's loudest fog horn. But Giuliani has been a buffoon since 2008. And Christy is a relatively smart guy who simply decided to sell house soul to the devil and then found himself with a discount price tag stapled to his nuts. Trump liked humiliating them both, but Christie never pulled off the gullible enthusiast shtick.

He spent all those months kissing Trump's ass and had nothing to show for it, since Trump eventually turns on everyone who grovels at him. So suddenly Christie has a revelation and realizes Trump is a charlatan and would-be autocrat. Now he goes running for the closest camera to act like he knew it all along.

Kinsinger and Cheney are putting their careers on the line, doing real work to attack Trump's ability to continue hijacking their party. I disagree with their politics but they're showing real profiles in courage. Chris Christie is just ankle biting now that other people have started kicking Trump in the nuts.

Nice try, slowpoke, but Christie had his chance to fight against Trump and chose to be a quisling instead

And he almost died because of it. By 2020, krispy KNEW who he was dealing with. He didn't give a fuck because he's opportunist scum like the other traitors in tfg's circle of corruption.
