Yes, and the writer tosses that out there as if it's perfectly normal to use such a phrase.

Newt Gingrich said the other day that Trump was distancing himself from his campaign pledge to drain the swamp of Washington corruption as he transitions into the White House.

“I’m told he now just disclaims that. He now says it was cute, but he doesn't want to use it anymore,” he said.

But the Donald has an update for us:

“Someone incorrectly stated that the phrase ‘DRAIN THE SWAMP’ was no longer being used by me,” the president-elect tweeted. “Actually, we will always be trying to DTS.”

“I wanna report that I made a big boo-boo,” Gingrich said in a 47-second video accompanying his tweet. “I talked this morning with President-elect Donald Trump, and he reminded me that he likes draining the swamp. I mischaracterized it the other day. He intends to drain the swamp.”

Two comments from me. Those fucking fags are very brave to do that to a woman accompanied by kids.

I would have gladly rearranged their faces.

Yep, both of these morons needed their asses beaten severely. Too bad one of the larger male passengers on the flight didn't 'help' this limp wristed POS with a lesson in manners.

And for the record, even though I personally detest her, had some conservative crazy attacked Ms. Pelosi like this on a flight, they too would have been due an ass whippin'.

I think the term "Alt-Right" is starting to fade. It's been almost a week since this term has been used by the MSM unless I missed something.

I never really understood what the "Alt-Right" was, but I guess according to the MSM, they got Trump elected.

According to his biography on the Hunter College website, Lasner 'studies the history and theory of the U.S. built environment, with particular focus on housing, and the relationship between housing patterns and urban and suburban form.'
He earned a PhD in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, a MS in urban and regional planning studies from the London School of Economics and his BA in urban studies at Columbia.

Holy fucking snowflake Batman. I think they are saying that he never really had to do real work.

Jet Blue is a discount airline, I don't think they even have a true first class with a separate cabin. This is a very odd story. President Elect daughter and family in coach on a discount airline? Makes no sense..


Dan Goldstein (L) and Matthew Lasner (R)

Typical pajama-boys. Couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper sack, but are sooooo brave to verbally assault a mother with her kids.

Yet more 'liberal inclusive tolerant' a-holes that can't tolerate ANYTHING that clashes with their pre-conceived world views. . .

JetBlue has first class. Maybe not on every plane, I have not been on every plane they own, but the few times I have been on a JetBlue plane they had first class seating.

^^^^^ Serious question. Can someone spend 8 years studying those listed majors/subjects & make a significant living? Obviously, I missed the boat somewhere & believed people actually had to do something (work, for lack of a better word) to provide a living. I apologize if a SF member has this type of background/education, if so, please explain to me what they actually do & what is the demand for this type of qualification.

Different topic, it was noted that there was a secret service detail on the flight for Ivanka & family. The security detail did not interfere in the event & let Jet Blue handle the situation. Interesting enough in my opinion. Would think that they would at least do a quick interview of the fellow to determine more about this brave individual.

My friend, there are 2 types of PhD graduates:

1] Those who stretched themselves and did something really hard, and earned the title of Dr. for doing so. Examples would be a PhD. in Aeronautical Engineering or Pharmacy. Or a PhD in bio-mechanics. I know people who have these degrees, and they earned not only the degree, but my respect. They get good paying jobs at companies and are highly sought after.

2] There are those who could not handle the real world, and had external money from somewhere (normally parents) to stay in school, up to and including the PhD level. But the PhD is in something easy, where you don't have to pass hard tests and the like, and where the main requirement is paying the tuition to stay in the program. These PhD degrees normally include things like "Art History", "Musical Study" and anything with the word "urban" in the title. They get jobs in Government, be it another University or some position in the executive branch.

I've seen it time and time again.

Today trump tweeted that the US needs to strengthen its nuclear arms.

He said:

quote:

The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes

That got me thinking, and I know almost nothing about this other than what I've read, but don't we have thousands of nukes ready on stand-by? Ready to be deployed.

Is he saying we need to make new ones or what? I'd like to learn more about this.

Regarding Bourdain:
"I’m not asking you to start putting up barricades now, but when they come and ask you, ‘Are you with us?’ You do have an option. You can say ‘No thanks, guys,’” he said, in part."

And just who the hell is this "they" he is referring to? Do any of them make a difference? I also don't think DJT gives a rat's ass if Bourdain eats at his hotel.

Egyptian officials scrapped a plan to proceed with a United Nations Security Council vote condemning the construction of Israeli settlements, following pushback from Israeli officials and President-elect Trump.

"Egypt requested the vote's delay to permit them to conduct an additional meeting of the Arab League's foreign ministers to work on the resolution's wording," Haaretz reported, citing Western diplomats. But the vote might be postponed "indefinitely," according to the report.

Israeli settlement construction drew condemnation from the State Department earlier this year, in addition to the rebukes of more customary critics, raising fears in Israel and among congressional Republicans that President Obama might not veto a resolution on the matter in the waning days of his presidency.

President-elect Trump stated his opposition to the resolution, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was lobbying Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to drop the resolution.

"The resolution being considered at the United Nations Security Council regarding Israel should be vetoed," Trump said in a statement. "As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations."

Trump's statement might have had the greatest influence on the Egyptian decision, beyond Netanyahu's lobbying or other American statements. "Diplomats in Tel Aviv speculating that Sisi didn't cave because of Israel, but rather because he didn't want to piss off incoming president," Economist correspondent Gregg Carlstrom tweeted.

I'm thinking he means some serious modernization.

^ But what does that mean? We can deliver from land, sea, or air. Maybe the ones built in the 70s and 80s no longer work or function as they should?

I usually don't like confrontations. However, I wish I was a passenger on that plane; I would of told that fruit cup to shut his pie hole. On second thought, he may have hit me with his purse

AIR, from some time ago, our nukes have not been properly maintained for years. Like, maybe, 8 years?

As all things technical those things have to be carefully maintained, test, updated, etc.
