New Jersey’s highest-ranking state lawmaker on Tuesday pledged to block Gov. Phil Murphy from taking $33 million from a hardship fund for firefighters in the state, a proposal that sparked outrage among first responders.

F*ck that. Let him take it. The firefighters want to support Biden, let the government have their money and waste it on some BS. Hell, Corzine flat out STOLE money from folks and they did nothing. Let the Dem’s do what they want, it’ll quicken their demise.

As sick as that is, I say......OK. Let him have it. The people of Jersey voted for that guy. They voted for those policies. Biggest problem with the whole thing is, the ones that can move, will move and they will more than likely move South. And when they move they will start to destroy wherever they land, like the locusts swarm they are a part of.

Rutgers has a 1.3 BILLION DOLLAR endowment, just laying there doing nothing.
Going to waste.

Typical the Association of Firefighters support Biden and his cohorts, while their scumbag comrade in Jersey screw the firefighters. Time for the overwhelming majority of Trump supporting firefighters speak up and disavow themselves from the rogue association.

Not the rank and file firefighters, it’s their union leadership.

The rank & file should hold their union leadership accountable and let them know that they’re not happy with who they endorse. But, wouldn’t that be self-defeating? I mean, the rank & file could possibly be a little Republican, maybe. But the Democrats will give whatever the union demands, in exchange for money, votes and endorsements.
