Since everything is now about Trump, how does this play?

How convenient that it’s the Friday just before a long holiday weekend.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
NOT in his defense BUT Fri is Jul 1, usually when ‘new’ state legislature goes in effect.

VA will suddenly recognize a whole lot more states for Concealed Carry...

Still trying to figure out what the Clinton stooge was up to when they ‘took away’ the rights of about 25 states to carry in VA, at least woke up the voters and Pols, so now we recognize more and get to carry in more.

‘They’ must be up to something....

Had that idiot mcAWFUL and his ultra lib AG, joined by Bloomberg in a massive try at gun grab....

Beat them off for awhile but can only imagine what these lib transplants in this state will vote into office next...

SOBS ‘ruin’ DC and MD, then move to VA etal and ruin them also.

Guess now we now know how WA and NH feel with their interlopers.

Seems like every day some group feels like they need to give us another reminder.

Every Monday morning when my kids were in high school we would take our three cars down to the local station and fill them all up. Usually had some change left over from a $20 bill. Those were the days of the constant gas wars and we could always count on Hudson Oil being the lowest - usually from $.19/gallon to $.21/gallon. Everyone else was $.22 to $.24/gallon.

Filled just my car up on Saturday and it took $19.63. Fortunately I had some discounts built up which I was able to use before they expire at the end of June.

He must be pretty sure of his chances of a job in the Trump administration.

I was class of 64. My dad was a salesman for Ford and he let me drive his demonstrator on the weekends; probably not the best idea. That Fairlane with a 289 V-8 would do 0-60 in just under 10 seconds.

I could carry 12 people in that battle wagon.”

And get them all into the drive-in movie on Saturday night for $1/car, at least in our part of the country.

Doubtful too many it’s go to NJ to buy fuel since it costs $15 to cross the GWB.

They have all passed the point where they pretend they give a crap what the citizens think or want.

BUT Fri is Jul 1, usually when ‘new’ state legislature goes in effect.

Looking at it from another way, I guess that 1:00 AM is the perfect time to screw a bunch of people in New Jersey

And the fact that Christie would sign it on a Friday under the cover of a long weekend (Independence Day Weekend no less) makes it especially ($#*!!%)

There is no defense for Christie if he signs this.
There just isn't.

There are counties on the western side of the Hudson River that lie north of the NJ border. Those NYers fill up in NJ.

I was finally saving a little bit of money on gas and he goes and does that. Going from 1.98/gal to 2.21 over night.

Whenever travelling south from Maine always wait for NJ to fill up and fill up again before crossing the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I think I will stay on 84 and skip the tolls and extra gas expence and enjoy the extra ride.

Yep. That useless failed GOP governor of PA will ONLY be remembered for making gas more expensive in PA. Listened to Democrats and got fired.
