When America's Lop-Headed Javert* Saw the Breadth of His Domain, He Bailed...


...for there were no more Hillarys to harass.

With no more Hillary drumheads in his future and a Congress and White House bursting at the seams with actual criminals and actual traitors from his own political party, Trey Gowdy was so deeply moved by President Stupid's bored recitation of Stephen Miller's words that decided he could best serve his country by running away:
Now he belongs to the ages.

Trey has an inside track on being appointed to life time term judge (or even next Supreme) with help of his Russian pals propping up GOP.

I am sure he has a republican big donor with a executive welfare job to pacify him until he is anointed.

Just make sure before going in front of him in his courtroom, you register republican. I reference Deep State vigilance. See Comey, Mcabe, Yates (all non GOPers).

Apparently, there is a possible opening on the circuit that covers SC

Robt said...

One thing for sure,
If he is not leaving to spend more time with his Money and/ or his mistress.

If he does venture to the private sector for employment. He needs to clean up and get a damn normal hair cut. Unless he plans on filing for unemployment and food stamps.

Don't go job hunting or on interviews looking like that, Trey. I only say this for your own good. Judges I know would be very annoyed that you entered there courtroom looking like you have NO respect for the law.

Gowdy spent five years investigating Hillary Clinton NINE TIMES. She was acquitted NINE TIMES, the last time after giving eleven hours of sworn testimony UNDER OATH AND ON LIVE TV.

I say that if it took that much investigation to prove Hillary Clinton had never even kept an overdue library book, Mr. Trump is worthy of the same courtesy Congress granted Ms. Clinton.

Gowdy played his OMG Benghazi!!!111!!! role so very well that I'm sure he's been offered serious cash and a more elevated position on the wingnut welfare circuit. Not snark. Because Clinton didn't win, the Koch brothers, or similar, have some other skeevy plan for him to pursue. Gowdy's usefulness in Congress is over. Job well done, frankly, bc it definitely helped to ensure that Clinton didn't win, didn't it?

So I say: watch Gowdy. No doubt he'll be pursuing some other "lofty" goals for all of that sweet sweet payola that he grifts from one or the other of "our" Oligarchs. You can bank it. There's no level low enough that Gowdy won't stoop to... for the right cashola. Not snark.

Howdy Gowdy has clued us in that he is veering toward the justice/ legal system.

For criminals like Gowdy.

This equates to Trump federal court life time appointment to a (cover) business
as a law firm in Wash, DC. Or in the ancient language of the middle class dwellers of the era.
Was called a Lobbyist. Or legally certified briber.

Just please don't let him get appointed to the supreme court.

The "Upstate of South Carolina"? What's that, a reference to the capitol Columbia and a dis on the low country Charleston, which slope-headed Trey prolly thinks is probably too liberal? Trey has always been an idiot. Good riddance.

This is where pat Robertson is supposed to go on his 700 club and tell his tv viewing congregation about the GOP train wreck.
This is where God is warning them of their sins.

Whoa... The McMemo wasn't even INTERESTING horseshit like WMDs or the Barack Osama "typo" or Alger Hiss Typewriter Hi-jinx or Secret Libyan Death Ninjas. Just tepid semantic horseshit, all guns no smoking. Better be a fucking innuendo statute or it's officially time to start keeping Nunes away from sharp objects & high places.

New fail for old? Dankest meme of the hour among bots & the bot-curious alike seems to be absolving Dear Leader via "accidental" misuse of the Poisoned Fruit exemption in law, wrong place & wrong kind of case but once you sign the MAGA/DERP loyalty blood oath/N.D.A. it's literally VERBOTEN to stop flinging new turds until something stays put on that ferschlugginer alt-factoid wall for one lousy measly news-cycle!

With or without Trump's imprimatur, Dems can now use robust girthy doses of throbbing glistening context* to make Darth Devin somehow look even more fecklessly vile & - if they can miraculously learn to get right the fuck off playing perpetual defense - humbly request that Mueller add the Evil Costello-clone Failson asshat to his interview list, because he just abundantly earned it - ditto Paul "Bates Motel Bellhop" Ryan, rhetorical kiss-blowing or no.

"It's ... it's full of treasonous lickspittles!"

Trey reminds me of the old Clemson joke:

"You know you're staying in a Greenville, S.C. hotel, when you call the desk clerk at 2 AM in the morning to complain:

"I"ve got-a-leak in my sink."

and he says: "Well, hayull, go ahead!"

Tanbark said...

I'm not too worried about her track record on Benghazi…what was it? 4 people?

Being onboard from the start for Operation Enduring Clusterfuck, with 4500 of our troops dead and that trillion dollars down the urinal?
That's a different story. Not to mention that the ongoing chaos in the middle east is 90% due to that, with hundreds of thousands of people dying.

But the GOP can't go after her for supporting that. It was on their bar tab.

Yessir. The "Upstate"!

Where Stormy Daniels, in full-on "get it while you can!" mode, chose to launch her burlesque-show tour, in a Greenville jiggle-joint named "The Trophy Room". That year or so of sampling The Donald's wandering dick (thanks again, Steve!) even gave her the catchy title for it:

"Make America Horny Again!" :o)

Sub-title: "He saw her LIVE! You can, too!"

He’s only giving this up because he’s been promised a sweeter deal. Darth Cheeto’s judicial appointments are going to make an imprint on the country for decades—that and the fact that he can still hold a pen are the only reasons the GOP hasn’t kicked him to the curb. The Republicans have always played the long game. Congress has the appearance of not being able to get anything done but they’re using the opportunity to rig the game in their favor down the line.

time to get out and find another job which requires little work and lots of money and benefits. good move. get out and find the job before the election and have a lot of competition afterwards.
