I’ve heard quite a few people lately blaming Trump for not really draining the Swamp and failing to put a lot of these Swamp Skunks behind bars....tbh, I’m guilty too. Then I thought about how difficult it must be for one man to enforce justice....can’t be done, it’s impossible.

What Trump has accomplished is to expose the undeniable existence of a corrupt Deep State bureaucratic government but he is nearly powerless to make any serious headway in defeating it.

There are millions of Americans who now know we have a corrupt federal government and a two tier justice system. Now what do we do? Does the country survive long term with this revelation? I guess if we accept mass government corruption as normal behavior we’ll be fine. Right?

We'll have to see how powerless he is.

Against overwhelming opposition, he's gotten stuff done because he's tried to do stuff.

No. Trump's election has delayed the inevitable.

It's an election year, I'll give him a pass cause he has to have the moderates in the swing states to win again. In the event he does win this year it's time to go scorched Earth on DC, and if he doesn't I'm gonna be disappointed.

Edit: And I live here

Now what?


(1) Flood the swamp with gasoline
(2) Light swamp on fire
(3) Shoot all swamp creatures attempting to evade the fire

He has to fire an insane number of people for the swamp to be drained.

At this point I don't think he's exposed 10% of it, deep state is a lot deeper than I EVER thought.

This.

If/when he gets re-elected I fully expect him to go a LOT harder on flushing this shite out.

One benefit he will have is 4 years of time in DC. A lot of time was wasted on his first term due to poor choices in a lot of high level positions. Many of which have been replaced with more capable people that will work with him versus trying to undermine him.

My belief is that most politicians are somewhat corrupt before they get to DC, they just take it to another level once they learn Swamp decorum. Lol!

He did what he said and has drained the swamp, and now everyone can see the danger lurking. It's up to the American voters to change the rest.

Too bad the media was lurking with the rest of the shite down there.
