Good guess,that and much, much more.
I just gave that five up-votes.....
Getting rid of govt. employees is not that easy either. They have so much protection that entire departments of govt. would probably have to be created and their jobs eliminated to get rid of them.Even than the cost would and could be prohibitive.
It's a long and arduous task.To complicate it the President has been under attack which takes up some of his time,he has been trying to build a fence, restart an economy that has been under attack for eight years,reassure our allies that we are still the same strong country we were before the obama/jarret regime and a whole host of problems created by the previous regime that require hours of his attention by any potus whose mission is to restart the country.
Add in he has to fight not only the lyin' dems, the media, but the rinos/deepstaters in our party and it's a miracle he has gotten anything at all done!
The swamp needs to be drained from all the way back to 1960 and the Eisenhower adm. the last real deal potus we had except for a few years of Reagan.Even those were sabotaged by 41 his VP.
Don't give up. Just remember what that famous oracle once said:"it's not over til its over."

The eclipse, boat John S. McCain
Well yes I did watch the eclipse yesterday although Delaware didn’t see much. But it definitely did get darker, quite so, around 2:45 pm. Around 3:30 pm it cleared up and it was very obvious.
To be honest, had I not known it was an actual eclipse I would have thought it was but temporary cloud cover.
What’s that all about?
It is a busy waterway we are told but come on, those American boats are HUGE! Nobody could avoid a collision?
I am to understand that China might somehow be involved.

The Arizona Trump Rally. Why is Sussex county GOP’s canceled? Trump made Hillary’s skin crawl.
First we get a mass email from the Sussex GOP that there would be held a rally for President Trump in Georgetown’s Circle on 9/9/17. I put the picture in my todo list to ponder later.
Before any pondering, I get another mass email from the Sussex county GOP saying the event has been canceled due to concerns of violence.
Do not misunderstand, Trump was not scheduled to attend but it seemed to be part of a mass attempt to gather those together who supported him, to encourage him so to speak.
I sure would like to know who decided to cancel that event, the wussies.
Was it that Wilmington crowd of GOP Lite? Was it the Democrats, who control Delaware?
Why does Antifa get what they want, get to blame it on the innocent, yet we can’t have one peaceful assembly near our homes?
I recall that debate when she pulled the wussie bell and said Trump was getting in her space.
It looked like a normal human/interaction to me.
“What Happened” is the title.
I got the answer in one sentence.
Not Senator McCain, however, who gleaned great joy from punishing WE THE PEOPLE in order to punish his political opponent.

Robert Lee kicked out of ESPN. No Punkin Chunkin in Delaware.
Heh. ESPN, the genius’ of broadcast sports, actually took a guy off announcer duties because his name is Robert Lee.
To add more to the absurdity of ESPN, the supreme intellectuals of sport, the guy WAS ASIAN!
If anything illustrated the low IQ of this Robert E. Lee nonsense, with statues torn down as if bogeymen, it’s ESPN….again, the very, very smartest of those with a microphone, and this stupid stunt.
It looks like hurling huge round projectiles through the air is not a “sport” suitable to today’s litigious society.
Add to this it seems the pumpkins go everywhere except out into an empty field. The event had been in Sussex county, a place that benefitted from it in that sussex has beaches and with punkin chunkin there would be something to do in the fall.
Then they moved it up to Dover speedway and for whatever reason….no more.
Last year a punkin hit some woman too stupid to get out of the way and folks, take the pumpkins out of the air, put them in a pie, and accept that “Punkin’ Chunkin’” will be no more in Delaware.
For it’s been turned down this year and likely in the future.
Because we’re all a bunch of wusses.

What happened to the woman found dead buried in the sand? Also, Dewey Beach has a load of corrupticrats, including a salacious Town Manager.
So the employees of Dewey Beach assert that Town Manager Marc Applebaum is a bad egg, a groper, a thief, a swindler. And Dewey Beach was told NOT to destroy any records.
BUT THEY DID ANYWAY!
It’s not the swamp of Washington D.C., but Delaware is a little swamp of corruption and so the Mayor of Dewey Beach is going to protect the creep….PUBLIC GO AWAY!
In fact I just heard the other day that the investigation has been wrapped up, the dead woman had illegal amounts of alcohol in her system.
So she had some drinks and stumbled on the beach. There had been dug a big enough hole to fit a human body. No one knows how that hole got there and we are warned never to leave holes in the sand, cover them up when done.
Heh. Like that’s going to happen.
She fell into the hole, fell asleep, and the sand plows came along and covered her with sand?
That is evidently what happened. How weird is that?

Camping World, an Ode to John McCain, Menendez
Supporter of Good Sam’s Club, Mr Camping World CEO…TRUST THAT I WILL NEVER BUY A SINGLE THING FROM CAMPING WORLD FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
I hear he apologized and said he meant only the Nazis and White Supremacists who support Donald Trump.
Yeah, right. You did a dumb thing asshole, and soon you will be gone.
First, Menendez is a pervert, regularly going to the Phillipines or somewhere to have sex with young adolescent females. It’s supposedly legal for this where he takes this pervert trips, but let us acknowledge this is not a good man.
Second, goodness knows what Chris Christie, Gov of NJ who I cannot stand, is going to do.
It is said that Christie could appoint himself as NJ Senator, that would be interesting.
Menendez is under indictment for taking gifts from folks that he should not have.
And he’s a pervert, did I mention that?
You are dying. For that I regret. But guy you got a history that is not going to bode well for you after your death.
But first, let us bow and admire you greatest accomplishment, that Campaign Finance Reform bill.
Man you had to cross the aisle and all kinds of things but America is sought after for it’s cool campaign finance reform and wow, McCain will always be remembered for removing America’s anxiety over campaign finance reform.
Let us not forget the Keating Five, which you were involved with, lawbreakers.
Oh, and how about that stunt you pulled while taking off on a naval aircraft that caused an explosion on board and the death of hundreds of sailors?
Nobody much talks about this but it’s whispered everywhere.
And finally, to end what could have been a fine but totally lie of a career, you vote AGAINST repealing Obamacare.
Senator McCain, you will not be remembered for this in nothing but a bad light.
You betrayed this country more than the country even yet knows.
Looks like the Dem mayor of Houston to tell his people to stay put was bad advice. They should have evacuated north.
this woman’s pets are in danger by the bayou. https://twitter.com/lpharpold/with_replies
Putting that 85 year old guy in jail, a guy with an ailing wife, does not do this country any good.
And those talking head hyenas should say so.
Thank you President Trump for doing that pardon. Dubya wouldn’t have done it. McCain would have sentenced Arpaio to death. Romney would have smiled and suggested strapping him to the roof of a car.
This is a political witch hunt and the pussy Republicans need to deal with it fairly.
I think the big question I and others had was did the storm hit as a cat 4 or much less?So far I have not seen any documentation that showed more than 102mph sustained winds far less than cat 4.
Maybe I have not looked hard enough.
Meanwhile in Harvey,if they didn't leave soon enough the flooding could prevent it all together. The big story on Harvey will be the rain probably not so much the winds.
Evacuating Houston should have been required since it is such a huge city. They are going to wish they did as this flooding gets worse.
I wonder if anyone will say Harvey is the result of Globull Warming...the first major hurricane in 12 years..
Wallace trying to get Governor Abbot to bash on Trump.
Would not surprise me at all. I had no idea it was the fourth largest city in the US.
No surprise there,problems with this storm may linger on for a while if the flooding gets as bad as many claim,hard to tell.
You can be sure Pres.Trump will be there to help whether or not they are dem or pubbie voters as opposed to Obama/Jarrett regime who only helped dems in time of need.Like in Joplin, Mo. in 2011 where he ignored the hell out of them.
Of course, the two Johns are worthless....
I will be going to Texas as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption. The focus must be life and safety.
Obama wouldn't break off his vacation to Martha's Vineyard in 2016 during Louisiana flooding. @realDonaldTrump all over Harvey at Camp David
