"That Doesn't Sound Like Me:" Chris Christie Surprised by Question About His Entering Politics To Block Efforts to Repeal "Assault Weapons" Ban; Claims to Not Remember It Happening Either Way
The Star Ledger (of NJ) said that he had told them this, and reported it long ago.
Christie says "That doesn't sound like me" and claims a failure of memory. Obviously, Bret Baier did not promise him a "no surprises" interview.A look of panic spread across Christie’s face. "Yeah, I don't remember saying that. So, you know, we’ll see," he said. Just then, a quote appeared on the screen—one Christie gave to the Star-Ledger in April 1993--that would seem to contradict his answer. "The issue which has motivated me to get into this race is the recent attempt by certain Republican legislators to repeal New Jersey’s ban on assault weapons," Christie said at the time. The full quote, not shown by Fox News, goes even further: "In today's society, no one needs a semiautomatic assault weapon," he said. "We already have too many firearms in our communities." Christie, who has been enjoying renewed interest in his candidacy after months of low poll numbers, looked dumbfounded by Baier's question. "Listen, I--that's 22 years ago,” Christie said. "Bret, I don’t remember. I could've! It doesn’t sound like me."

"Semiautomatic" sounds so lethal. A while back my mom popped off about people running around with "semiautomatic" weapons so I asked her what that was.
She had no idea.
But "assault weapons" - those are definitely BAD.

Mention how much you love Thanksgiving, not just because it's a time for everyone to get together, BUT because it was started my a Republican.
From Wiki....
It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln
proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent
Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on the last
Thursday in November

Are you a Democrat eagerly awaiting a sparring match with a Republican relative during the holiday season? If so, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) wants to help.
Grayson, running for Senate in a tough primary with fellow Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy, emailed his supporters Tuesday to say that a $3 donation would enter them in a contest to have Grayson call their "most conservative relative on Thanksgiving."

"There was a serious violent crime boom going on in the early Nineties and a bunch of public policy options were on the table. It was suggested that an assault weapons ban might help. The idea had strong bipartisan support in my community. The ban was enacted on a temporary trial basis. It didn't have any noticeable effect on crime. The ban sunsetted. I wouldn't support reviving it today for the simple reason that it didn't work. And its failure to work has made me a lot more skeptical about quick-fix measures for crime that involve gun control. I wouldn't support a similar measure today."
1993 was, after all, a long damn time ago in political terms. In all terms. A lot has happened since then. Voters recognize that circumstances alter cases.
Instead he gives this stammering back footed oh-crap-I'm-busted response. Geez, most fat kids learn to come up with much better much smoother impromptu excuses early on. Cookie jars and whatnot.

"As people are sitting around the Thanksgiving table talking about these issues, as they should and I am sure they will all across the country, that's an issue that should be raised and asked by the members around the table. If we're going to have a serious discussion about national security, let's talk about some pretty obvious things that Congress could do. One obvious thing that Congress can do is pass a law that prevents someone who is on the terror watch list from being able to buy a weapon. There's no reason - I'm not sure why that's even controversial. I'm not sure why it hasn't been done so far. I suspect, however, that has a lot to do with the fear the Republicans have of the NRA."
[maybe it's because almost anyone can be put on the terror watch list? Is there anything resembling "due process of law" required to put someone on that list? Even the ACLU seems to have a problem with that.]

Around the SF Bay Area, it's the parking lots at trailheads.
In the East Bay, a guy came back from a jog on the trail to find a couple of the local urban effnik yoof rummaging through the trunk of his car. When he objected to this process, they beat him to death, apparently with the tire iron out of his own car trunk.
The guy was a prominent liberal activist who had spent a lot of his time boosting the cause of urban effnik yoof.

Step 2: Hillary! takes Obama flunky as VP candidate
Step 3: Hillary! wins the nomination with Obama's support
Step 4: Oops! Darn that pesky FBI/whatever investigation. Hillary! charged.
Step 5: Hillary! out. Obama flunky is Pres candidate.
Step 6: Obama flunky names truly outrageous Obama flunky as VP candidate

Escorts for Russian strike missions inside Syria, S-300s to the Latakia area (probably alreadyin the pipeline), intensified Russian strikes on Turkmen rebels, informal economic retaliation via chilling the large Russian tourist trade for Turkish resorts.

weft, wow. From your linked item:
"The plan under consideration would also delay the medical device tax
in exchange for additional funding for ACA risk corridors, which is a program
that allows federal payments to insurers to offset high losses in the initial
years of the ACA."
Savor this, folks. The GOP will "trade" a disastrous bail-out of the catastrophically destructive O-care program "for" a delay in the medical device tax. Two - two - expansions of the deficit via revenue reduction and a new subsidy. Yes, new. The "risk corridor" $$ were supposed to be transfers from one private entity to another, not federal $$.
Oh, and the article mentions delay of the "Cadillac" tax on health plans - which I think mostly gores the union oxen - for two years.
So instead of standing firm and making O-care collapse of its own idiocy, right out of the box, the GOP is looking at saving it, further softening and delaying certain parts of it that are noisome to the Dem base, and ramming a new spigot into the tax reservoir to pour out to help the insurance companies who meekly or rent-seeking-ly went along with O-care.
Meanwhile, millions of responsible self-reliant healthy people can for the first time in their lives not affort health insurance (private plan destruction).
Just savor that.

If Putin is smart, and I see no reason to doubt it, he will be establishing back-channel communications with whatever Kemalists may still exist amongst Turkey's active and retired military, and assure them of Russian support if they depose Erdogan and his islamist thugs in a coup. And, obviously, we won't be hearing about such a thing until Erdogan is swaying in the breeze at the end of a rope.

If so, is it really worth going to Canada now?
Girlfriends been bothering me about going back to Montreal for a while. Last time I was there it was a pretty expensive trip though. Just wondering if I would notice a big decrease in the cost now that the US and Canadian dollars aren't around 1:1 ?

This goes a long way towards explaining why he left the Philadelphia woman sit in jail for weeks, when he could have resolved that injustice with a word to the DA, if not with a stroke of his pen.
I always expected someone to use that against him in the presidential race, but it's been a non-issue. For me, that was one of several reasons I'd never vote for him, for any elected office that doesn't include picking up dog poop.

Yeah, according to the Royal Bank website, $1 American will get you $1.28 Canadian. So for every $100 US, you get $128 Canadian. And I think you can get the federal sales tax back too if you look into it.
I haven't seen much of the country, but when I eventually have a wife and kids, I would want to take them to the Winter Carnival - I think it's in Quebec City. They took us in grade 8, it was really beautiful there, tons of ice sculptures, a nice experience.

Real estate is heart breaking for those who aren't natural born killers. At least at the mall, if she works the hours, she'll get paid. In real estate, some mooch can run her around the county for weeks and then buy from his brother-in-law.

Well, he purged out any that he knew about, or that weren't essential. Maybe there are some overlooked Kemalist NCO's who could become generals with a little help from the Bear? Or there could be some "islamist" senior officers who are "islamist" for public consumption, but really Kemalist at heart, because that puts them in the driver's seat. Just seems to me that Putin would be wise to try make it happen. That could also pry Turkey out of NATO and estrange it from the EU, which would very much benefit Russia.

For the gas pumps, I remember that. I'd usually just go in, give them $50 bucks, pump the gas and get change. Not a big deal but I know there's still a huge part of myself raised in Canada that really just wants to quietly follow the rules. I'm working on that....

The EU bears most of the responsibility for letting Turkey devolve into what it has become. It was the EU that demanded in 2003 that Turkey amend its constitution to take supreme power away from the military (the only thing that had kept Turkey even halfway sane since Ataturk put it together) in order to even be considered for EU membership (which the EU, correctly, was never going to entertain, anyway). Turkey complied and that was the beginning of the end of secular rule in Turkey. And the EU turds got a kick out of the whole thing.

Ha, no you can't pre-pay at most gas pumps with a US card.
In other words, they can't pre-authroize your card at the pump. They can only run it for a certain amount inside.
So if you have cash, the situation is not that bad. But if all you have is a debit card, you kind of have to have an idea of how much money to have them run it for. And all you see is something like "$1.57 / liter" on the sign, and have no idea how much to run the card for.
Unless youre a nerd and can do the conversion in your head.

If she has a gift for sales, see if she can get in with an industrial sales rep firm. They will recognize talent and it's a much more civilized environment than real estate.
Should she go the real estate route, try to have her specialize in just commercial and industrial. That's where the money is.
If she is a superstar sales person, have her talk with pharmaceutical companies.

But it's still issued in the US. I think that's the issue. Because the pump wants to put a $50 hold on the card before I pump, and theres a security thing about international money holds. That's my guess at least

"While President Obama is pardoning two turkeys for Thanksgiving, every one of us can exercise that same presidential power by choosing a nonviolent Thanksgiving observance that spares a turkey’s life.
And here are some good reasons:
•You can brag about pardoning a turkey - like Obama.
•You truly are what you eat. Who wants to be a “butterball”?
•Fruits and vegetables don’t have to carry government warning labels.
•You won’t sweat the environment and food resources devastation guilt trip.
• You won’t spend a sleepless night wondering how the turkey lived and died.
•Your body will appreciate a holiday from saturated fat, cholesterol, and hormones.
•You won’t have to call a poultry hotline to keep your family out of the emergency room.
Seriously, this Thanksgiving, let’s give thanks for our good fortune, health and happiness with a life-affirming, cruelty-free feast of vegetables, fruits and grains."

He asked why the entire media complex and Dems as well as GOP establishment hate and seem to fear Trump so badly.
I can kind of understand the GOPe's problem. He's not under their control and they fear he makes them look stupid, that he'll ruin everything. They think he can win with stupid knuckle-dragging Republican voters, but will lose the general election.
But that doesn't answer why the Democrats are so freaked out. You'd think they would love Trump, even if he was a double secret Clinton machine plant.

Oh probably. I'm sure it's true one way or another, even if it's simply a matter of who is doing the hiring, but the only preference I know of that is advertised is the Veteran's preference. Which varies, depending on one's status as a Vet from specific eras, or I think combat status, and in some cases I believe, service connected status.

Politicians from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and the Tiny Bitsy Countrysized States (Connecticut, Delaware, Robot Island) are simply unelectable.
It's like running someone who spent the last fifteen years in a state penitentiary. Unelectable.
Sorry, that's the way it is. Romney? Massachusetts. Biden? He's from a puffed up county. Christie? Bog and poison frozen swamp state of New Jergsey.
It's true. The Unelectables are not people who have mainstream political positions - they're people from the weird states that make everyone feel like they're covered with spit.

Because I'm an asshole NRA lifer, plus some other cards I carry, I knew damn well that Christie was a gun-grabber before any of this campaigning stuff even started. Now, with a cypher like Trump or Carson, if somebody drudges up an offhand comment from some time ago, I might just give them the old benefit of the doubt. Still maturing politically, not in their wheelhouse, live and learn, that line of comment.
Since I already had a prejudice against Big Chris, everything else he said and did was filtered through my One Big Issue. And, it was all wrong. So I never developed any liking for him in the first place. So now I don't have to agonize through an adjustment.
Young Ayn Rand actually campaigned for Wendell Willkie, for a while. When she got to meet him, he was told what she'd written (this was pre-Big Novel), and he grumbled and gruffed around for a minute before coming up with "Individualism? I'm...for it!" She was, as we used to say, obnoxed. Willkie later went on to coin the phrase "One World." And Rand had an epistemological epiphany.
