BREAKING: LEAKED EMAILS DEMONSTRATE THAT VINDICTIVE EXECUTIVE SOUGHT TO PUNISH CITIZENS IN GAME OF POLITICAL PUNISHMENT
— Ace

Okay, it's not breaking. This is from March of last year. The media has known about this forever.

They just didn't seem to care.

Email tells feds to make sequester as painful as promised
By Stephen Dinan
The Washington Times
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
The White House announced Tuesday that it is canceling tours of the presidentÂ’s home for the foreseeable future as the sequester spending cuts begin to bite and the administration makes good on its warnings of painful decisions.
Announcement of the decision Â— made in an email from the White House Visitors Office Â— came hours after The Washington Times reported on another administration email that seemed to show at least one agency has been instructed to make sure the cuts are as painful as President Obama promised they would be.
In the internal email, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service official Charles Brown said he asked if he could try to spread out the sequester cuts in his region to minimize the impact, and he said he was told not to do anything that would lessen the dire impacts Congress had been warned of.
Â“We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that Â‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.Â’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be,Â” Mr. Brown, in the internal email, said his superiors told him.

So there you have someone telling a superior, "I can lessen the impact of the sequester cuts," and his superior answering: "No, we've represented they would be painful; do not change anything to mitigate that pain and undermine our political message."

But that's okay. Because, Democrats.

This double standard by the media - descending on Christie while ignoring Obama - is nothing but outright evil. It is not a difference of opinion, it is not disagreement. It is blatant, naked, in your face advocacy. Shilling and hacking for the Democrat Party. Are these organizations actually licensed? These people determine the national conversation and take away our voice. I can't say what I would like to see done to them because I'm sure I'd get banned.

I just wish all the sheep out there would see this manipulation and understand that they are nothing more than puppets, dancing to the media's tune. In a sane world they would be outraged and rise up against it.

Chris Christie will be toast. Why? There are two sets of rules one for Democrats and one for Republicans. Add to that the fact that the media--decides what the public is interested in and referees the game.

48 Yea, I think that the intentional pain Obama caused during the sequester is a much better comparison than the IRS or Benghazi scandals. Amazing how in a couple days we seem to know everything about the great GWB scandal but we still have very little knowledge, or outrage for that matter, over what Team Obama did. And nobody lost their job in Obama land.

It was *policy* that healthcare.gov go live despite massive functional problems and security holes so big you could pilot an aircraft carrier through them?

98 Off Duty Firefighter Puts Out Truck Blaze With Beer

truth is stranger than fiction....

"It just so happened the driver's cargo was entirely comprised of Coors Banquet beer. According to Moreau, the pair then began shaking cans before opening them, and doused the fire as quickly as they could. The tire, however, continued to burn and eventually exploded. But the beer proved to be an adequate retardant and the men successfully extinguished the blaze.

In an interview with News92FM, Moreau said, "Thankfully they were tall boys. I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of it all, he was so shaken up that the humor escaped him. Had he been carrying anything other than easy to dispense liquids I am sure the truck would have burned to the ground."

I corrected it I typo'd...

One could argue it was the result of a chain of volcanic activity going back to early 1812...

it technically started according to some in late 1815..

It was bad Vermont saw seven years of population growth erased and most New England corn crops lost 75% yield.

How fucking dumb is his staff and by extension Christie to send this email? They new it was a bad idea because they couched their words. They might as well of come right out and just said "Hey let's fuck with this mayor by closing his bridge because he isn't playing nice with Chris." and then sent a copy to Chris himself.
