    Financier Philip Bilden dropped his bid to become President Donald Trump's secretary of the Navy on Sunday, citing ethics requirements and the "undue disruption" the job would have caused to his family's private financial interests.

    • Another one jump shipped on Trump, haha!utopian
    • Just think...another Trump pick that never served a day in the Navy...fucking Helmet in Chiefutopian
    • he simply didn't pass the financial audit.Gnash
    • But Shouty Spice says he isn't leaving. Fake news?monospaced
    • ^ that tweet was before the financial audit was complete. all he said Bilden 100% committed in the tweet -- why is that fake?Gnash
    • your blinders are on too tightGnash
    • I didn't say it was fake, I ASKED if it was. I don't wear blinders, btw. Either the guy quit, or he didn't. If he quit, he's clearly not 100% committed.monospaced
    • Why didn't he pass the financial audit? Must be pretty swampy if can't get into the swampy swamp.fadein11
    • Ah, so a swampy piece of shit was committed to joining the swamp. Surprise surprise for this fuck-show of a presidency.monospaced
    • lot's of candidates, both liberal, repub and even nazi, don't pass all the financial criteria for public office.Gnash
    • indeed - swampy people on all sides.fadein11
    • I get what you're saying, omg. But look at "The Learning Channel, which was privatized in 1980. it features shows like, Toddlers & Tiaras.Gnash
    • that doesn't really inspire confidenceGnash
    • oops ^ meant for another thread. ughGnash
    • So it was just coincidence the press reported this one guy was withdrawing then he does? Hmmmreanimate
    • I imagine people that CBS talked to knew that he wasn't going to pass financialsGnash
    • yes, hence "likely," which is factualmonospaced
    • ugh, the inference was that Bilden is jumping ship. spicer responded appropriately, not "fake news"Gnash
    • The report that he was "likely" to not pass was correct, though. Spicer's claim that the people reporting were wrong is ... wrong.monospaced
