Arizona officials say they can’t find Giuliani to serve him with indictment notice | CNN Politics

Arizona prosecutors have tried for weeks – and so far failed – to serve Rudy Giuliani with notice of his indictment related to an alleged sc

He’s resting in his coffin.

The retreads keep reappearing in the new administration …

Having failed to twist GOP arms hard enough to get Matt (Breathalyzer Boy) Gaetz into the Attorney General job, don-OLD trump has turned to a Golden Oldie for the job: Pam Bondi, former Attorney General for Florida. Bondi reached national notoriety for being in the position to join a lawsuit against Trump University for grifting citizens out of their hard-earned money to learn how to invest in real estate. Associating with this “university” (if by “university” you mean a non-accredited fake school run by a group of people interested in getting money out of students) would cost prospective land barons $1,495 for seminars up to a $35,000 "Gold Elite" program. When confronted with this suit against the Republican candidate for president, Ms. Bondi decided that the $25,000 offered by the future crook-in-chief would soothe the conflict between her job as the attorney of the people and not ruffling the feathers of the leader of her party.

So, if we have someone who can be bribed so easily in a position where bribery can be made, what other decisions will Ms. Bondi overlook – or perhaps look too hard – to increase her personal wealth?

But there is a more humorous aspect to Bondi being in Washington, D.C.: her former main squeeze, Rick Scott, serves as senator for Florida. Back when Bondi and Scott were in Tallahassee, there were strong rumors of the two canoodling on the sly, ending only as both moved on from state governance. Indeed, we have this picture of Scott leering at Bondi:

What a smooth operator.

It’s bad enough that we have shady people filling positions in this new administration, including someone willing to take bribes (not to mention rapists), but we should consider passing a law that prospective lawmakers prove that they were born on this planet, to avoid aliens like Rick Scott from getting elected:

This thing is a land yacht! When I lived in South Florida, the IT director was from Noo Yawk, with that kind of accent and he had a ‘72 Buick in a darker green. He ruled his kingdom with fear; after being hired, he’d keep an eye on what you were doing, and a misstep resulted in a visit from him, in a not-so-good mood. Being the kind of guy he was, he might still have that Buick.

We need to be like this little fellow now and in the future:

Gowdy: Biden should 'switch parties' to see what 'nonstop negative press' really looks like — Fox News

Fox News host Trey Gowdy told President Biden to "switch parties" and experience what "nonstop negative press looks like" if he's unsatisfie

I’d been wondering what rock Goofy (Gowdy) was hiding under these days; he was last seen hanging up his congressional chairmanship in the House Oversight Committee to go into the business of law. However, the bright lights and spouting of evidence-free statements was to much to resist, so he slithered his way over to Fox News. H’yuk!

To help out The Gowd here, 1) why would Joe Biden want to see what “non-stop negative press looks like, when he’s getting it while trying to help Americans; 2) Biden isn’t a conman out for himself, like that tubby orange guy; 3) Biden isn’t a crook, either; 4) and Biden doesn’t have a dishonest, mealy-mouth head of the House Oversight Committee calling for investigations based on trumped-up political charges for anything he’s done, like, you know, the guy you see in your mirror every day.

South Carolina doesn’t seem to be missing you, Goofy.

By the same reasoning of trump, you could say:

“Isn‘t it a shame, all those people are dead all because Trump was born?”

“Isn‘t it a shame, all those people are dead all because 62 million Americans thought having a debt-ridden, fake game show narcissist as the leader of their country would be a grand idea?”

“Isn‘t it a shame, all those people are dead all because our President was a ‘useful idiot’ to the dictator of Russia.”

Donald Trump, Malignant Narcissist, Blames Ukrainian Casualties on “Rigged” U.S. Election — Vanity Fair

He apparently thinks that baseless claim will be of comfort to the grieving families and friends of “all those people [who] are dead.”

A quick calculation:

If the helicopter service cost $15 in 1965 (for example), that would be the equivalent of $134.04 today.

I could see a New York cab ride costing that much in 2023.

There are still way too many people who think this cretin was a great president. He was a fraud, an actor playing a president on the world stage; someone who had writers compose pretty lines of memorable prose for the electorate to remember him by: a “breath of fresh air,” a “leader to brighter days.” In reality, he willingly sold this country a bill of goods on the future, while leading the 1% - 10% earners to astronomical heights of prosperity and letting the working and lower classes flounder and sink. As with Nixon, he should have been punished for Iran Contra, with G.H.W. Bush for his part in pardoning participants in that, as W. Bush should have been punished for leading us falsely into Iraq, and as Trump should have been punished for a laundry list of crimes. Punishing Nixon and Reagan would have provided a lesson of the rule of law and possibly deterred the next presidents from crimes. By avoiding any penalty for wrongdoing, it opened the door for 1) doing more crimes later; and 2) made the notion of “equal justice under the law” a farce. Note that while Reagan was ripping off the Social Security account, later W. Bush stole $1.37B from it to fund his war in Iraq. The top elected officials stealing from Social Security are now better than bank robbers, for they’re stealing from the account because “that’s where the money is.”

Ronald Reagan raised so little tax revenues, and spent so much as President, he had to STEAL from the Social Security fund and left a big, fat Republican IOU.

Republicans stole, now claim the social security fund is low. Unbelievable.

I received Dixie (6) for a Christmas gift in 1961, while my brother received Pixie. I don’t know what happened to Pixie - the last I saw of him was over 30 years ago and he was looking pretty rough - but I still have Dixie almost 61 years later. He’s a little worn but he’s still doing good.

Every night you dream that you talk to a genie, when you wake up you can't remember what you wished for. One morning you wake up with a giant crab pincer replacing your right arm. What do you do?

Amazed at the sight of my arm, I call out, “Hey genie, I know I was thinking about having some crab for dinner, but it’d be cannibalism to have some now.”
