Draining The Swamp

Listening to it as I type.
This was my favorite album as a teenager ... I was never mainstream.

How did Trump win Wisconsin?

Low voter turnout in Milwaukee.

"How did Trump win Wisconsin?" (upsgrunt)
He did it real gouda!!
Only net....swiss!
Pulled some 'string'.
He prayed to 'Saint Rose'.

So you complain the swamp won't be drained then complain when it is?

Filling the swamp with GOP hacks won't fix anything.

Of course it will. Get rid of those Democrat scumbags and the air is immediately cleaner.

Such sophisticated humor. Is this from The Lawrence Welk Show? Cue WW2 era songs.

Fat pigs in a swamp are good eating for hungry media gators.

How so?

"Rudy Giuliani's paid consulting for foreign governments would present conflicts of interest as the nation's top diplomat that would make the Clinton Foundation look trifling.

Since leaving the New York mayor's office, Giuliani has made millions as a lawyer and consultant, including for some clients at odds with U.S. foreign policy. When some of those ties surfaced amid Giuliani's own presidential bid in 2007, they were considered to pose an unprecedented number of ethical quandaries for a potential commander in chief."

Giuliani took money from Qatar, Venezuela, Iranian exiles

Today's headlines show Trump meeting with a famous black boxer, a famous Muslim skateboarder and the ex-wife (Marla, if you're counting). For smart people, this is obviously a sleazy, cheap way to show how much Trump "loves" blacks and Muslims. Sickeningly, the skateboarder yelled out to reporters that "Trump loves Muslims too!!".

Here's my take. The boxer got a check, the skateboarder got a check, and Marla got a check...to keep her mouth shut.

Giuliani and nearly every Trump choice has either ethical conflicts, financial interest conflicts...or both.

The dummies? They'll buy it all.

It's not in the sand. Think Klingons.

I have today off to build my retaining wall. Just for you nice people here I'm going to Home Depot to pick up an illegal day laborer (ironic that it's Home Depot), make donations to the SPLC and Planned Parenthood in the name of Mike Pence, and contact my local representatives.

I pay the laborers more than they ask for, take them to lunch, and drive them back.

Sec of State choices are poor. I hope Trump is intentionally misguiding the media. John Bolton would be an immediate betrayal. As he is neocon-warhawk-Bush. And Yes, I agree Giuliani as a choice would be hypocritical and B.S. I wish he could recruit Dr. Ron Paul. As for Sec of Defense, LTG Flynn IMO would be better than Jeff Sessions. Sessions has to much baggage with voting against don't ask don't tell. Women in combat roles, etc. General Flynn (registered Democrat) is a better pick.

An extremely high number of angry, ignorant morons? What part of Wisconsin do you live in?

Tell GTM I shouldn't have said that. Assuming you can probably do that in person.

No comprende, seems like you think you're being snarky or clever. I don't get it.

Nope. No hidden agenda. Just saying I shouldn't have said that, and assumed something that apparently isn't the case.

Strange mind , you have.

You cancelled your $3K order from Home Depot and had the gall to go there to pick up a day laborer?

How did Trump win Wisconsin?

Same way Trump won the election. In America everyone is encouraged to vote, even stupid people.
