Sandilands perhaps???

Tribune you had me going. So I have to wait for Friday's paper to read this? No fair!😂😂

I added something else to my 'bucket list' today - Live long enough to be able to spit on Crooked Christie's tomb stone!

Hopefully you (and I) won't have to wait long.

Christie is still in denial.. He can't believe himself, how he let PLP gangsters loot this country with no conscience, and left the country is shambles.

Lying loser!

I agree with him on one point, the government so far is just throwing out red meat. People need to put aside the desire to see people fed to the lions and wake up to that, our country is in peril and we have to demand good thoughtful representation. Don't fall for the slight of hand magic tricks. They closed the budget debate with....nothing. Nothing. Nada. Just a bunch of but look what they do. It sounds oddly reminiscent of ...Perry Christie's PLP...but look what they do. They had more than enough time. The first 24 hours they had more than enough time to set the course. The course they'd been thinking about and planning for for the last five years. Nada.

Other than that, very nice shirt and I hope he can rest. Good luck Dr Minnis & Dr Sands.

In other words you see nothing wrong with what Christie and his co-conspirators in crime did, even though it involved the outright theft for self-gain of mega-millions of dollars of the people's limited financial resources. As for that nice shirt, you would be able to buy similar nice things and a whole helluva lot more if you had just one one-thousandth (1/1000) of the Christie family's ill-gotten net worth today.

"*In other words you see nothing wrong with what Christie and his co-conspirators in crime did*"

Uhmmmm...no...don't believe I said that. I did say the last group told us what the group before do and it got us nowhere. Get us somewhere please. I also said, nice shirt:)

...what do you expect? Look who they appointed as the minister of education, a talker, never been a doer!

Been said before crisco butt is delusional.

Why do 99.5% of PLPs give the other half percent such a bad name?

It is so easy to criticize Christie for his obvious misdeeds, ineptness, and cronyism, an altogether miserable legacy for this country. However, I would maintain that there is a wholesale corrupt culture of politicians in this country that the writing is on the wall.
The world, and The Bahamas, is divided into the rich and the poor. It is not by race, country of origin or PLP and FNM. Once we understand that they all cavort together while the rest of us struggle to get by, the sooner we can move our world ahead. Minnis and his bunch are no less hungry and thirsty for all the trappings that they saw their predecessors get hold of. They have already abandoned their campaign promises at this early stage. Remember the divide and conquer strategy. They will not go after the criminals that came before them, for they are no better and are tangled up completely with every misdeed placed upon the backs of the Bahamian people. It ain't gonna get any better.

You have made some salient points. While I may not agree with everything, these things go so much deeper than party politics. Corruption is within ALL administrations and it's not something that I think is going away anytime soon (People get so caught up in the PLP, FNM, DNA - "Die Hard" nonsense). <br/>
My prayer is that hopefully our new PM Minnis will not follow along the lines of previous PMs and will root out MOST corrupt practices whether from the former administration or from his OWN party. (I highly doubt all corruption will ever be FULLY weeded out, I can settle for most). Once I see Minnis being tough on FNMs and PLPs who do nonsense (without partiality), then he will be fully respected.

Fine.
However, if there are no consequences for those at the top, the looting, plundering and pillaging will continue. I maintain that it is a culture of criminality that pervades this country that will not subside while any of are living. Minnis is too far down the rabbit hole. I fear he made his pledge to the numbers boys and his fellow politicians that have been working diligently to screw us over and move their money offshore.

Hope and pray you are wrong on that one! Time WILL tell. Never hear about anything being debated in Parliament about the numbers houses. Now Parliament is closed for the summer with the country still in a serious mess....

Chester Cooper already put into perspective what the other half percent think about him and the PLP as a whole.
Really surprised that we haven't heard from Birdie trying to re inflate a very deflated Christie.

themessenger,I thought the first comment on here would have been birdie.I guess he/she is having a hard time finding words to defend the lies.

It seems we were robbed to the tune of a billion or more dollars , you take the 200 million that walked out the front door of BOB ,the 40 million from road traffic ,all those 8 million dollar contracts ,which Ash and his like split w/ whatever MP approved them , all the shady foreign consultants that were paid to get these crooks money overseas ,one of B Bethel oldest tricks ,,,,its got to be a billion or more of out and out theft .
I just to think PGC was a good guy just weak ,but he Bethel ,Fitz etc presided over the largest looting of the Bahamain tax payer ever
Sure the UBP cut the fat off the land for them ,,but they never burnt and sorched the earth like these hoodlums ..

I still imagine what it must have been like at Christie's Cabinet meetings.....Right, whose turn is it this week to get their share?

No, not you Fred - you just spent half a mil on travel.

Glenys....Damn woman, you already spent all that money from the safe??!!

Brave - hahahahaha. Please man, you're killin me

Well, I guess it's me then.....them Atlanta expenses don't pay themselves

i couldn't agree with Christie's politics but as a human and political patriot, i salute him and wish him well in his remaining years.. its important to distinguish man from politics.. sh#**y politician in my view, but noble bahamian..

Noble? Distinguished? Salute him? It is important to distinguish man from conduct? How else to you evaluate a man? This paean is a total joke!

when you put Bagman Bethel as a consultant to the ministry of finance ,you have no honour

He look so frail. he seem to aged at least ten years since that may 10th royal cutass

Don't let that photo fool you. It was staged and released to the press with the hope of eliciting comments like yours. Christie remains an evil monster sitting on very great wealth that he did not come by through honest means.

Yup.

I am not fooled I was just making an observation. In death he couldn't get me to think differently of him. I long for the days to see his ass in prison

Where da wife?

I understand Fweddy Boy and some of his kind of 'friends' have been of great help in consoling Christie since his most embarrassing loss at the polls.

That figures!

Where's your wife? Are you takin gcare of your home? or is it just the tribune's comments?

Many but not all of us are happily married with current mortgages, paid-up bills, and no taxes owing thanks to our serious work ethic and willingness to put in full day's work for a full day's pay notwithstanding all the obstacles that have been put in our way by the likes of Christie. Now what say you?!

Comrades! Don't allow yourself to be baited for a letdown. Politicians are all man's and woman's and by their very instincts - the temptation for corruption and outright thievery will always surface. All of the pretend sainthood you hear today will not prevent what is to follow some the red politicians as they attempt to line their personal and others connected to them pockets. They themselves done knows exactly who she and he is and so does members the public who will be watching their every move and decision...... But I await former PM Christie's comments later this Friday morning - cause he has lots explaining to offer for the past Five-years....lots.... and he cannot expect to repeal the negatives of the past Five-years without some serious clarifications to some strange things that are being alleged to have taken place under his term as PM...... is none this true??????

A party pandering to it's base....... in this case DuMb AsS the BASE is the majority of the people in the country......another dumb ass statement from the PLP

Look at the cuffs on his shirt. His whole manner of dress is very "festive".

http://tribune242.com/users/photos/2017…

Lol banker you ain't easy lmfao. Too funny They should have been handcuffs on his shirt.

Him and the GG mussy does shop at the same store

He looks absolutely miserable and dejected now that Fweddy Boy took back his pinky ring!

I saw Mr. Christie and Ms . Pindling on TV they both look great unlike the judge who passes
judgments on subjects she has not even read. The present FNM PM and the former FNM
should find out their secret for looking so well. Banker no matter what you do you can not take that away from them* those FNM fellows look as if tractors rolled over them. So they make
noise and tell lies because they have no vision to move the Bahamas forward

Mr: Christie it is said that the best revenge is living well, So just go ahead and live well and
leave those who love to pull people down where they deserve to be in the gutter. in mind and
body.

Comrades! Of special observation note. This 'interview' { reads more like a statement } with
with the former prime minister - conducted by a 'nameless stenographer like' reporter?

Great observation!!!

I like his shirt. He looks like he lost his best friend.

http://tribune242.com/users/photos/2017…

Seems he was clueless about what those "under him" were doing thru every orifice!
Incredible tho think the pillaging was actually wanton!
Not so surprising is the downcast schoolboy caught cheating look.
If one thing is abundantly clear, remedial ethics training is definitely required going forward!

Comrade The_Oracle, . Isn't one thing abundantly clear, remedial ethics training is definitely too late of a learning requirement if you done made your way into government? Shouldn't you brungs your ethics to the job - before you asks voters to hire you?

Why did it take BJ's death for Perry to crawl out from under his rock since the election???????

I am still waiting to see how much money will be wasted on the State funerals that will be held for a number of the PLP Old Guard this year ......... BJ is the first, Perry seems to be next ...... ah well

he wished he could be dead now. he is envious of the nice things they say about his friend now.

I did not think that I don't want to see or hear from him that much. . .i DON'T THINK IT IS HATE. . .MORE LIKE DISGUSTED WITH ARROGANT REFUSAL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS!!

I suggest that he remain off the scene for a long time. . .perhaps. . .just go to the USA and live with his family! Most Bahamians don't even want him in this country. . .STILL CAN'T SEE THE MESS HE MADE!!

USA ? When Bahamian people tief and lie do all manner of things to other people we seem to find laws that are appropriate to the offence and they spend time in Fox Hill Prison. It will be a sorry day in this country if that kind of money can just be given away to their friends family and lovers without any punishment. If the QC's can't figure out what charge to bring lets just get a law student with some guts. Maybe they want the people to take appropriate action against these thieves. But the longer they leave it there will be less and less money that can be recovered for the people.

The FNM has a six months window to deal with this ...... If that closes and there is no accountability for the tens of millions of missing Treasury funds, unregulated crony contracts, unjustified consultants and unexplained election hirings ........ Minnis and his Cabinet will pay the same cost in time

WHEN WILL WE HEAR FROM THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY .......... SIMON WILSON????

HE HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR AS HE WAS THE MOST SENIOR ECONOMIC ADVISOR TO THE CABINET ........... OR WAS HE KEPT ON THE OUTSIDE??????????

> to “protect a black Bahamian woman.”

Protect her from paying bills?

Can you call my bank? I need protection.

What about the black Bahamian men & children? Or the white Bahamians? I guess you gotta be black & female to get his help. Don't be living in Centreville that's for sure.

To insinuate that Black Bahamian Women do not pay their bills and accordingly require political intervention from the highest Office in the land is racist and discriminatory.

The point is D'Aguilar lied on this woman. she is a woman and she is black
what does a look of disgust look like?

Look in the mirror. Also see in the same image: evil, prevaricator, mentally challenged, and non-patriotic.

prevaricate, yup, that is the right word.

in my work life i survived two prevaticating bosses, plp no less.

you survive by working hard, coming to work on time and making sure all know you are doing your job so they do not write lies on your evaluation.

Thank God for black Bahamian women ........ where would this country be without black Bahamian women???????

where would this country be? WELL LET ME THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT. HOW ABOUT WE WOULD BE WITHOUT TEN THOUSAND MURDEROUS UNEMPLOYABLE PRODUCTS OF SINGLE PARENT HOMES ROAMING OUR STREETS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO ROB, RAPE OR STEAL FROM.

Did anybody really expect Christie to say anything else?
