From the start of Trump's presidency weak n pathetic Turtle McConnell and his RINO Uniparty cronies TOLD TRUMP TO "BACK OFF ALL THAT DRAIN THE SWAMP TALK" that got so many Patriots fired up at rallies. They had to stop that immediately!

The Swamp was much too deep when there is 75% RINO's

So here we are now...VOTE for a Clown .....Expect a Circus!

Awful lot of anti-Trump rhetoric today. What's the matter, boys? Is there a reason you need to distract from the geriatric in chief?

Because it is a nebulous phrase with no actual meaning.

After 8 years of Odumbf*ck, it ceased being a swamp -- it turned into a f*cking OCEAN of FILTH AND SCUM like Milley and Vindman.

The swamp is a structural flaw in western democracies and republics.

It’s baked in.

If we had a free press that had a desire to do their job the swamp would have lost members. Maybe not as many as needed to go but a fair amount. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Trump ran as a republican and 99% of the people he surronded himself with were "swamp". You can't expect a perspm elected from a 'Swamp" party to drain it. I know its a hard truth that no one on this board wants to hear.

Trump did a lot of swamp cleaning. The real culprit was Bush,Jr. He didn't have the heart to fire all those people he could have fired. Then Obama came in and cleared all the remaining republicans.

Why? Because Trump didn't have enough Swamp draining baws to really have any chance......Trump should have made the call to a real swamp draining veteran.

It’s probably impossible to drain the swamp. I still wonder how many people have been threatened or murdered for rocking the boat.

Physically speaking, when you drain a swamp, you’re just diverting the water elsewhere. Same thing applies here.

Should’ve buried em.

One reason, is because not even the president can fire these entrenched DC bureaucrats.

Most people didn't realize the depth and breadth of the swamp. It's not just a bunch of people in key positions; it's the vast majority of big government institutions.

Obviously, firing a bunch of people won't do shite. There's no stopping this swamp, all you can do is contain it a little until the damn breaks.

We are to blame for letting big government take control of this country.

Because it’s too deep. Much deeper than Trump ever imagined.

A few of the founders knew the swamp was coming.

It’s going to take a long long time. Unfortunately if I had to guess the Democrats weaponized every federal agency with their kind starting with Clinton, and Bush probably never realized it. Basically if the FBI has 10 jobs to fill odds are 80% of the fill are Democrats. Only way to reverse it is to have a republican president hold office from 2024-2036.
