Discussion: White House Denies Report That Navy Secretary Nominee Could Withdraw

I am a strong swimmer but when I was in the army they didn’t ask. I had a friend in the Naval Reserve. They attached to the Marines in Vietnam because he couldn’t swim

Can you imagine having to be in meetings with both him and Steven Miller on a frequent basis?

Maybe he has a thing for battleships and monitors.

I’m already so tired of winning I can’t handle any more.
All hail Tweetie Turd! Bigliest poop in the pool.

My first thought was that he looked like someone from a Boris Karloff movie.

Snippy Spice! :laughing:

He reminds me of one of Bertie Wooster’s upper-class twit acquaintances. He has that look of inbred nobility about him.

Hmm. To me he looks like he has something cold and hard up his ass that he is not enjoying one bit.

He also looks like a cross between a toff and a reptile, so maybe he can swim.

What made you think they were looking for the best?

Critics seem to be missing the valuable experience gained by making donations to the U.S. Naval Institute. Why, the man’s nearly a swabbie!

As a old Sailor the correct term for this is FUBAR Which applies to The Dumpsters Administration !

But wait, there’s more!

The White House abruptly dismissed a senior National Security Council aide on Friday after receiving reports that he had publicly laced into the president and his senior aides, including son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump at an event hosted by a Washington think tank.

The aide, Craig Deare, was serving as the NSC’s senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs. Earlier in the week, at a private, off-the-record roundtable hosted by the Woodrow Wilson Center for a group of about two dozen scholars, Deare harshly criticized the president and his chief strategist Steve Bannon and railed against the dysfunction paralyzing the Trump White House, according to a source familiar with the situation.

There’s an old seafarin’ legend that the rats don’t even board a doomed ship. I never believed it until now.
