Russians killing Russians is never a bad day.
If he would just go shoot somebody on 5th Avenue, that would ice the cake for me!
Not FJB.
Indeed the price of not doing so will be their last act.
No Trump nothing changes it’s called options.
“”BTW, Reagan routinely used the term swamp””
You said Reagan used the term, “Swamp” routinely. Lets see just 2 examples where Reagan used the term to describe government corruption?
Unlike today where everything is archived via YouTube or things like it, it wasn’t done that way then. I recall hearing more than once and produced a time he used it. As did Pelosi. And the other thing they have in common, they all failed.
'Sometimes it's difficult to remember you didn't send us to Washington to feed the alligators, you sent us to drain the swamp. We didn't come to raise your taxes but to lower them,'' the president said.

‘Sometimes it’s difficult to remember you didn’t send us to Washington to feed the alligators, you sent us to drain the swamp. We didn’t come to raise your taxes but to lower them,’’ the president said.
Dallas Morning News 2/6/85 pg 15a There was bound to be some growth in the federal establishment and its responsibilities, certainly, in 21 years. But who would have predicted in 1980, when Ronald Reagan was campaigning for the White House and promising to “drain the swamp’ in Washington, that in four years he would be submitting a budget only an eyelash under a trillion bucks?

What? What are you talking about joe?
I've asked you 5 times to show me where Reagan used the term, “Swamp routinely" to describe government corruption. I'm not talking about taxes...I'm talking about using the term swamp to described criminal corruption at top levels of this government.
And you have not given me one single example. What's up with that joe?
Just give me ONE example of Reagan using the term "Swamp" in regards to government corruption at the highest levels.
Lets see it Joe.
Big government? I was talking about the claim Reagan used the term swamp to refer to widespread government corruption, at the highest levels, which Trump has talked about 400 times now.
I think the mistake here is some assume Reagan used the term “swamp” to describe high treason in government when he did not.
Reagans use of the word swamp was in regards to taxes, mismanagement, overregulation etc...
You keep moving the goal posts. Fact of the matter, Trump ain’t the first to promise to drain the swamp.
I’ve given you enough to show trump isn’t the first to talk about draining the swamp.
You’re a very disingenuous person. And I’ve noted most who do not like Trump fit this description.
When Trump talks about the swamp, he makes it clear it’s about corruption and tyranny at the highest levels of government.
You didn’t provide one instance where Reagan used the term in the same regard.
Nice try.
Reagan likely would have referenced Mr. Trump as a creature of the swamp that needed eradicated. Tyrannical and corruption at the highest level.
See the tagline joe? You defined it perfectly.☺
Well then, where do I get the badge?
