He was in. And then he was out. And now, he’s — well, it’s hard to tell exactly where New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stands in the intrigue-filled orbit of those who surround the president-elect of the United States.

What is clear is that Christie has become an object lesson of the perils that face those who try to navigate Donald Trump’s world, a place where loyalty is demanded, but not always one where it is returned in kind.

Nine days after the public humiliation of being unceremoniously dumped as the head of Trump’s presidential transition, Christie on Sunday showed up among the parade of potential Trump administration job seekers to meet with the president-elect at his New Jersey golf course.

Perhaps the news of the "fallout" was exaggerated.

If all I want is a warm feeling, I should just wet my pants.

Trump appointing Christie to any cabinet position would be a huge disaster; the guy is corrupt, got caught and other people are paying the consequences.   :3:

He's had lap band surgery. I don't think he can eat all that much anymore.

Trump does want something left on his plate ...

Though food tasters always put me in mind of this comic. (This one is safe enough but DO NOT CLICK NEXT PAGE OR PREVIOUS PAGE IF YOU ARE AT WORK! 99% of his stuff is sex.)

@mystery-ak

I believe this is the reason Christie is out with Trump.  Trump's son-in-law is Jared Corey Kushner.  He is glued to Trump helping him choose people for jobs.

When Christie was a federal prosecutor, he indicted Kusher's father, Charles Kushner, and sent him to prison for two years.  Kushner served one year and got out. 

If Christie put your or my father in prison, and we could give him a job, I doubt we would give Christie a swell job in "our" government.

I believe he had the surgery back in 2013.  Before surgery he weighed around 400 lbs. and different reports when he announced his candidacy state that he's lost between 85 and 100 lbs which still puts him around 300 lbs.  I've known people that have had great success in the beginning with the surgery and gained a significant amount of their weight back; it's definitely not a cure.  It is to assist weight loss with proper eating and exercise.

Regardless of his weight, he's corrupt and IMHO unfit for any cabinet position.
