Here’s How
For those of you wondering how Trump could lose money operating a casino, here’s the explanation. To be honest, he could not operate a revolving door, much less a business or a damn country.
Nobody for sure knows who is operating the White House impeachment defense. Most people on the inside seem to think it’s Trump and whatever pills he takes to keep his mood on a roller coaster. So, when somebody came up with the idea to hire Trey Gowdy to be Trump’s outside counsel, it must have been based on their similarities with weird facial skin and holy crap hairdos.
And much like Trump’s other ideas, the whole deal fell apart in 24 hours.
After Trump had lunch with Gowdy and announced that Gowdy was coming on board as his outside council, it was discovered that Gowdy was barred from doing that because of lobbying rules for ex-congressmen.
So there’s Trump, making decisions based on anything but facts and a little research, and then acting victimized when his dreams won’t come true.
On the upside, we’re all spared Gowdy. I’m thankful for that. A little of that rodent Benghazi creep goes a long way.

2you can’t make this stuff up.
Um, isn’t it “outside counsel?”
3Its as though monster is blithely playing with his proxy friends in the sandbox: Gowdy, Giuliani, Barr, etc. Now his base has presented a ghoulish tribute to the faux pharoah. Already making the rounds. Strong stomachs at the ready now.
* The White House has finally put out a “statement” of sorts in response to a vile video depicting a fake “Donald Trump” violently slaughtering the media and other top Trump targets,

Perhaps Trump suddenly got lucky, just like the blind squirrel who can occasionally find a nut that he hid. Never hire anyone as a lawyer who obviously sticks their head in a pencil sharpener to get a haircut!
5ROFLMAO Papa and Mike said it all, but will return later to read more offerings of glee. Must admit Donnie has the legal beagles he deserves.
6I read somewhere (there is so much crap flying the air, it’s difficult to recall exactly which bolus of outrage is which) that it was Mulvaney who tried to pull Gowdy onboard. And when the topic of Gowdy potentially running afoul of the restrictions on Congressmen and lobbying came up, Mulvaney blew it off.
Too bad Gowdy is from the real world, where law firms and lawyers understand that the Law can’t be ignored (if you’re not the BLOATUS)…
7You’d think I’d know that … considering.
8“…their similarities with weird facial skin and holy crap hairdos.”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
9Curing the whole Benghazi kerfuffle, Charlie Pierce always refereed to Gowdy as “The Pointy-Headed Javert”. I thought that was apt.
10And, perhaps in time Trey will come to realize that he dodged the bullet on this one. Nah……..probably not. As has been said many times…you can’t cure stupid.
11“On the upside, we’re all spared Gowdy. I’m thankful for that.”
Blessed be.
12[OT again, but it’s important]:
I posted a while ago here about how RAT45’s wonderful Turkish adventure would play out, eg: major clusterfock, which is happening in spades [seems like at least a ‘Friedman Unit’, but only a week or so].
One little item I left out was the potential danger to our massive military base at Incirlik, eastern Turkey [since ~WWII] and the nukes, etc., held there [I have kinfolk who served there since the ’50’s, nobody liked it…].
I didn’t really think that this could be a problem, Incirlik is one of the most secure and well-defended places in the world, and it is also always covered by our Navy’s nuclear submarines.
But, since Comrade Bonespurs is nominally ‘in-charge’: Well, speculation has begun that Incirlik and the nukes could become a pawn to Turkey or worse [“worse” is always the operative word w/SOBOTUS]. Remember that Incirlik is very close to both Russia and Iran. The “Cuban Missile Crisis” of 1962 was largely due to our missiles at Incirlik.
Anyway, this pic has become my favorite, it’s from a tweet in a comment at the 1st bottom DK link:

I am so relieved that I won’t have see Trey Gowdy’s ridiculous hairdos during impeachmen!
15Although I know “legal beagles” is just an accepted phrase
16describing lawyers, I hate to think of that Trump crew having any association with the beautiful and noble beagle breed.
They are truly gifts to us as are all canines, in my humble opinion. Could we change the phrase to legal feebles or something along those lines?
I am so glad that Dump doesn’t have a dog since it’s probable he would abuse it.
Maryelle:
17How about legal Smeagols?
I’ll leave whoever precious is to the individual.
so Trey “Flop Sweat” Gowdy is out again. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving fellow.
18P.P., thanks for the smeagols suggestion. Anything but beagles.
19My sensitivity is in part due to my having lost my 16 year old beagle last month. He succumbed to severe seizures.
Maggie –
Pencil sharpener haircut – WINNER!!
Maryelle – I think it’s actually “legal eagles”. But those noble birds of prey are no more deserving of the heinous connection to Trump’s minions than your precious pup. So I guess Sméagols is the best option. Though that was before he became corrupted by the Ring, which made him become Gollum. But that doesn’t scan, so Sméagols it is.
And condolences for the loss of your beloved companion. When Trump refers to anything “like a dog”, he means it as an insult. But nearly all dogs are much better creatures than most humans. And nearly all vertebrates are far superior to Trump.
