It is an immutable Law of Nature that if the host dies, the parasite no longer has a source from which to feed.

Did he hire Gov. Kristi Noem for a consultation on how to properly governate?

If a governor can issue edicts to trample on the rights of citizens during an “emergency,” then he sure as hell dan suspend pension payments to people who don’t even live in the damn state anymore. Let’s start with that and then move on to the next cost-saving measure.

New Jersey hasn’t won a political battle in Washington in my lifetime.

So why doesn’t NJ.commiecon care that he has no interest in the Bill of Rights? They can shove their hysterical panting crap.

McConnell is a fan of the “pot calling the kettle black” saying I guess...the Feds (McConnell) needed to file bankruptcy about $25 trillion ago!

I like Murphy’s plan:

1. Cut Cut Cut Cut.

2. Lay off a huge number of public workers.

Whole thing has my enthusiastic endorsement.

What was utterly irresponsible was signing the citizens up to pay for those lavish public employee pensions.

Screw you Murphy. This is a money grab. The sooner this state goes under, the better for all.

Hey Murphy!! Start by cutting your most ridiculous parts of the NJ budget and the Feds may start talking to you.

Do you think US taxpayers are going to fund illegal aliens; Planned Parenthood; Gun control measures, etc? LOL! Ya, screw off nancy pants.

And while you’re at it, give your buddy Cuomo a reacharound. He ain’t gonna get squat too.

"We will leave people on the beach, alone, helpless. That is what will happen in New Jersey…"

Hey Murph, so people are allowed on the beach now?

I'd have thought you would want our economy to recover.

A few million more unemployed won't help.

McConnell absolutely knows how to fight -- that's why federal judges have been getting confirmed at a rapid rate despite the Dems bringing all the heat they can to stop it. McConnell also handled the impeachment masterfully.

Murphy is a complete chump. He has absolutely zero leverage over McConnell, and they both know it.

How can Trump leave everybody on “the beach” when the Governor won’t let his own citizens go to “the beach”?

Murphy is a psychotic existential threat to New Jersey, the rest of America, and political sanity.

He’s one of the most nasty bastards in politics, but his (D-NJ) Rep. Murray is also nuts and as is that Murphy in Washington State, etc.

A bankruptcy court might void all sorts of expensive benefits enjoyed by public employees. No way NJ’s gov would want that.

The last to be cut will be the diversity and inclusion commission employees.
