Totally understand what you're saying.
That's not how it works. A person's reputation will be damaged when he himself bites the hand that feeds him.
Christie is a reminder that if you act like an idiot, you will be treated like an idiot.
So, I notice you specifically have issue with fat jokes. Full disclosure, I'm overweight myself. People are not going after Christie because he's fat. Yes, people have made jokes about his weight. This in particular is a photo of the moment Christie was on the beach when he banned everyone else in NJ off the beach.
I think this is the 3rd time I'm saying this very specific thing. This is more about the beach incident than his weight, his political affiliation, Bridgegate, the baseball thing, or whatever else.

Hey thx! Looks like a nice smallish place on Google maps. I assume most boats are small 15-25hp fishing boats and not much noise/speed to deal with while in a kayak? Doesn’t look like a place fishing bros go with twin 250’s, lol. Still newish right NJ and still finding which lakes/reservoirs I can paddle in when I don’t want to drive to the shore so this’ll be nice addition👍

Your link gets me to a page that (predictably) asks for the year of the application... All good, except it only goes to 2019!
For others noting this, choose 2019, it'll continue.

Yeah well that’s around about way of saying “it’s ok to make personal attacks on the man because he did a bad thing.” You do you man, but when I talk to people and the only thing they can think to say about him is call him “fat boy.” I tend to think it’s extremely lazy and reflects on those people poorly.
Again, there are plenty of things you could say about him, and everyone has the god given right to be an asshole, especially in New Jersey, but don’t pretend it’s some high brow endeavor.

Applegarth Road in Monroe Township, Middlesex County would beg to differ.

Wider highways don't alleviate congestion.

...which would nothing to alleviate congestion from long-distance traffic on the affected highway. Are the same people going to complain about continuing traffic on the four-lane Turnpike and the alternate route of I-295?

I've heard some stories where people have gone in to go to bed and they were pretty much up until the stopped. It's the only the upper floors that have that problem.

You're not wrong. The critics are assholes sticking it to an asshole.
It would be naïve to believe that this would not happen.
Fat people that receive the public's love escape this treatment. It's not his fatness that's being jeered at. It's the closing of beaches and being caught at a closed beach. The epitomized precipice of greed and corruption. Rules for thee, but not for me.

You can spray your dogs fur with premetherin. It’s actually a recommended use from some vendors
Edit: I use Sawyer Premetherin on my pups while hiking and backpacking

Nah, it makers his critics look like assholes. It really does. If you don’t see it, you’re in a serious bubble. Christy’s hypocrisy is well on display, but the fat jokes are lazy, not particularly funny and say more about his critics than it does about him.

Merrill Creek is about 15 mins away from RV and its quite a bit more predictable as far as wind goes. Its a really nice place to paddle. Lots of little shallow coves right next to the launch, with shady trees to park under and have a rest if the time of day is right. I've never really had an "oh shit" moment there like at RV. They are privately owned and have some rules & regulations (no SUP, no kayak under 9 feet, etc) so check out their web page before you go.

I filed online at the end of September and as of this morning it said it was no record found. A couple hours later I checked my bank account and it was there. So if you filed online, keep an eye on your account in case it pops up
