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.

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:

I received one of these for Christmas, too, back in the late ‘70s. It was a “Snug Sack.” I still have it; used it last winter and probably will this winter m too. It’s very cozy!

I got one of these for Xmas as a kid.

You have so many wonderful posts, and many others and I enjoy them. Likewise, I enjoy what you have to say, as I’m old, this world is going to the kids gradually, and I want them to change it for the better; it’s the only planet we’ve got. Please speak out as frequently as you would like!

Always ask yourself WHY someone tries to convince you not to vote or that your vote “doesn’t count”. What does anybody gain by not voting? What have you done for the world by not voting?

The people sitting in puddles of negativity saying DO NOT EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS are free to sit in their puddles. But who gains by being dragged into their dark puddle?

Why so you people care if we vote? Why do you need to convince others to “give up”? What is YOUR big plan to fix this? How does negative apathy change the dystopia you love to moan about? Yes, you are so much smarter and cooler and harder and edgier than the rest of us for folding your arms and refusing to participate. Good for you. Live your lives inside a dark, hopeless cloud if you like but please stop trying to keep others from enjoying the sunshine of positive action💗

This is my new housemate, Copper. He’s a 4-year old Netherland lop now in his 3rd home (and hopefully last), loves to be petted and is enjoying some new culinary delights that he hasn’t had before. I’m trying to get him to eat hay; that’s coming along slowly, but he appears to like timothy hay more than oat hay (it’s weird that he doesn’t like it much, but I suspect he wasn’t given much of it at his previous homes, plus he likes all the tasty foods that he’s been given). In this picture, he’s ecstatic about just being petted and is in his position to get some more of that good rubbin’. He’s a good boy! A very good boy!

When we’d go to visit my grandmother, she’d always have a few of these magazines around: Hollywood, movie stars, etc. She LOVED reading these things! My mom’s opinion of them was something like “Pfft!” and she wouldn’t touch them. When I was bored, I’d check them out and might find an article of interest, but back in the ‘60s, most of the articles seemed to be about movie stars from the ‘30s and ‘40s. Now I wish I had read more bout those old movie stars. 🎥🌟🍿

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.

Why?

Why does this criminal whiny little bitch get to come up with a lower bond total?

The prosecutors have the evidence, displayed it in court, he was found guilty and had a bond amount to pay. It’s a large amount but the total was judged to be the amount he shorted the state by having a variable amount to his building’s value.

If regular people, you and me, had a huge amount we owed in a court case due to manipulating valuations, do you think we’d get a break like this? Or do you think they’d immediately seize your home and property and possessions?

So he couldn’t come up with $464 million. If you can’t afford the consequences, don’t do the crime.

This criminal has skated on every evil, malicious and self-serving deed he’s done in his life, and there’s a whole library of noxious deeds that he’s done. You think he won’t come up with the $175 million instead to appeal his barges? Maybe he won’t, but for the sake of this country and people, let’s not drag this out any longer. We have the rule of law, and that says that in cases like this, the amount fined and interest is what the guilty party has to come up with. No gimmes, do-Overs, Kings X, fingers crossed, or any other child’s play: it’s time me to apply the law as it’s written.

Happy New Year to you!! 🎉🌹🐇🎈🍹

Where I am from New Years means one thing only, for better or worse. And because it falls on a Sunday the parade won’t happen til tomorrow. So it doesn’t really feel like New Years at all, in a way. In any case, I raise my (imaginary) glass of the driest champagne I can find (I have drunk far too much lovely wine in the last week - we went on a dreamy little vacation after Xmas and I need to dry out for a while) and wish you all THE HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS!😺💗🌼🌸🌺

Found these in kitchen the other day - there was a time when I was using them regularly. The one on the left has numerous “Impossible Pie” recipes, along with desserts and breads, and the one on the right has more of the same. I can thumb through these and remember making them years ago.
