TRENTON, N.J. -- Several states were facing extended government shutdowns Monday after failing to approve state budgets by July 1.
In one of them, New Jersey, a new layer of controversy emerged Sunday.
Of 46 states that had to pass a budget by Saturday, nine failed.
Illinois was entering its third straight year without a budget. Partial shutdowns in Maine and New Jersey were in their third day Monday, just a day before the Fourth of July.
New Jersey's shutdown saw Gov. Chris Christie spending part of Sunday lounging with his family on a beach at a state park he had ordered closed to the public amid a government shutdown that showed little sign of ending.
Christie closed state parks and beaches after lawmakers failed to pass a more than $34-billion budget.
The unpopular Republican governor, whose family was using the state residence at Island Beach State Park for the weekend, said later Sunday at a news conference in Trenton that he flew on a state helicopter to the residence.
"That's where my family is sleeping so that's where I'll sleep," he said. "When I have a choice between sleeping with my family or sleeping alone, I generally like to sleep where my family is."
On Saturday, Christie defended his use of the state property during the shutdown that affected the public, which is being kept out of state parks with signs blaming Democratic Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto. Christie said, "That's the way it goes. Run for governor, and you can have the residence."

What a twat
On the other hand, showing you're into wrasslin' and agin' that librul media is big in his base. The only way to top that is driving NASCAR while fishin' and catching a big ass trout and then slapping Jeff Gordon in the face with it 'cause f*** that guy like he's your cousinwife.
For some context on Buzzs' facial expressions. Oh man, Its all canned responses with Trump he says the same sentences for everything he does. Its just a change to what the subject is. Unfortunately for him when its put together with certain words, concepts, objects it makes him look really, really dumb. In this case Space and Infinity. Plus a joke that sailed way over his head. Sad!
If their is intelligent life in the universe and they visit earth. God help us if Trump is the first person they meet.
So, Trump has an affair with a Playboy Playmate while married to Melania. The National Enquirer (who endorses Trump) pays $150k for the story, but they seem to have forgotten to publish it?

Yeah, there's an article on the Wall St Journal's site, but behind a paywall.
I recommend the Arizona Democrat @LiterateLiberal twitter account.
All the "alt" ones too, Alt Immigration, AltEPA, State of Resistance.
With all the *hit Trump pulls, it is actually hard to keep up with it all.

So, an armed group show up in Gettysburg to basically salute the rebel flag (as nothing is more "patriotic" than to pledge allegiance to a flag that is not the American one). This idiot managed to shoot himself in the leg. Fur Freedum!

What's hilarious is it was supposed to be a counter protest to an antifa group that was going to desecrate confederate monuments. Two problems with that: antifa had nothing going on, and oh there's no confederate monuments there.

I don't think that's the first time they've trolled them. I want to say a couple weeks ago they did it somewhere else.
I saw an old pickup truck flying 2 very large Confederate flags...... In Michigan.
Seriously wtf.
Seriously wtf.
It's the Reign of Moral and Intellectual Stupidity.
But believe it or not, going through something like this can be a very powerful teaching moment for the nation. Unfortunately things with Trump and his ilk need to get worse before they get better.
I hope someone splices real footage of Trump into the Will Smith Independence Day movie to celebrate.
Trump could threaten to grab the alien p*****, Melania wouldn't have been near Washington to start off with (just a phone call refusing to be near her husband), Mike Pence could throw a tantrum when they misunderstood his communications, and then a bunch of Tweets claiming their communication (blowing up buildings) is fake news.

They use antifa to justify most of their crap. There's youtube video of a few antifa members in Berkeley causing violence, and the right uses that as endless justification for all their crap all over the country. Talk to a Trumper and they'll tell you how these "liberal riots" take place all over.
Yep, the nationalism/racism has flooded up north. I blame global warming. It is like a reverse Game of Thrones "Winter is Coming" kind of thing.
Endless summer is coming... along with ignorant rednecks.
You want to see the brainwashing? Here it is.
If you want to know "what is that Trump supporter thinking", it is this:
-there are liberal riots all over (really? where?)
-"liberals" control the media, Hollywood and now schools (they see a massive conspiracy instead of the truth, most normal people are against them because of course we are)

So the only way to stop those dirty liberals is to shoot them? Conservatives being snowflakes again I see.
They have the White House and Congress, yet they still lash out. That speaks volumes as to the kinds of people we're dealing with. I mean really NRA? Who's trying to steal your guns now (not that 8 years of a Democrat in office did anything anti-gun either)?
What the f*** is this video? I thought Demi Moore was going to laugh about a new gun or something, but that felt like a propoganda campaign.
Is that being aired on TV? Even though I know it's mostly bulls***, it's rather scary. I guess that's exactly what they're going for.
Wow.
I like the whining that people are being negative about trump while call Obama "their ex President"
The NRA went right wing crazy about 20 years ago. I know people who buy and sell guns for a living who want nothing to do with the organization.
When we criticize Trump, the Trump supporter doesn't see a fellow American who they share a Democracy with, they see an enemy.
It feels sickly. Like a call to arms against your neighbours.
I sent it to a friend and she said she felt dirty seeing it, and I kind of have to agree...
Yep, It used to be a pretty great organization that actually lobbied for control laws until the 70s. Hard to believe but very true.
