How many first class tickets should the Government pony up for?

How many private jets?

Zero.

Then, can you explain how it is "draining the swamp" to bring these ultra successful billionaires into your cabinet only to have them burn through tax payer money at an alarming rate on extravagances that are not part of thier package.

Never said I approve of that. Definitely needs to be addressed.

the swamp

[chiknbut]

Things are looking pretty good for being doubly worse.

I think the point is, don't talk about how bad the Swamp was when Trump campaigned on draining it but has only made it worse.

I disagree with the assertion that he has made it worse. Maybe bringing in people who have success in real life is a good thing versus people who have worked government jobs their entire life.

Scott Pruitt. Ben Carson. Betsy DeVoss.

And remember when Trump said that Hillary would just add to the swamp by bringing in people from Goldman Sachs. Steve Mnuchin got a big kick out of that one.

News flash! If Obama or Trump couldn't drain the swamp, then no one can. And you voted for Hilldawg. LOL.

Nigerian Army Uses Trump’s Words to Justify Fatal Shooting of Rock-Throwing Protesters

The Nigerian Army, part of a military criticized for rampant human rights abuses, on Friday used the words of President Trump to justify its fatal shootings of rock-throwing protesters.

Soldiers fired this Monday on a march of about 1,000 Islamic Shiite activists who had blocked traffic on the outskirts of the capital, Abuja. Videos that circulated on social media showed several protesters hurling rocks at heavily armed soldiers who then shot fleeing demonstrators in the back.

So you show that disapproval by continuing to vote for the same people?

I'm curious. How many billionaires are in Trump's cabinet and what tax payer money are they "burning through" in terms of "extravagances that are not part of thier package"?

I'm asking because your original assertion/questions were "How many first class tickets should the Government pony up for"?
"How many private jets"?

I'm all but positive DeVos and Ross pay for their own private planes/flights.

I don't get it. Mnuchin hasn't worked for GS for over 15 years. Right?

Great point, Gutter, but you’ve been around here long enough to know that facts aren’t worth much.

"Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' security detail is projected to cost up to $7.74 million from now through the end of September 2019, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service told POLITICO on Tuesday night."
...
"DeVos’ security detail is provided around the clock by the Marshals Service, which is highly unusual — the past four Education secretaries have been protected by the Education Department’s own small security force."

But yes, you are correct. It is not DeVos that is screwing over the taxpayer for costs of travel, it is Mnuchin and others. DeVos' predecessor spent about $39,000 on travel total so I'd rather DeVos do the government a favor and bill us for that instead of using her jet and billing us for an unnecessary $7 million security detail. But hey, "facts aren’t worth much", right?

[seahawk]

Sort of embarrassing after all the things you’ve said about political officials that you’re thinking of becoming one.

Perfect!

Unless you're running for president, I would not be able to vote for you in any case.

But, if you do run, I sincerely wish you good luck.

Is that a good start?
