The world trading system, the education system, the EPA, the justice department, the executive branch, the state department, the social programs, the healthcare system, are all in the hands of people who don’t know how it works, when it was built, how it was built, who built it, why they built it, and what the alternatives to that system were and are.

They also wage propaganda against those media outlets, scientific institutions, or intelligence systems who try to teach them what these systems are and how they work.

Oh yeah and military generals basically have the US government under a military coup and the Presidency is now nothing but a figurehead and useful idiot for the GOP to try to get their own cockamamie ideas passed.

It's all really, really, really dumb. Enjoy America.
 
There are horror stories of federal vacancies, including department heads (https://www.npr.org/2017/11/22/566098660/trump-administration-has-more-than-250-unfilled-jobs 0). So, the righties say...that's all good, less government. Most of the people Trump does pick, are people who are in it to exploit the resources; crony capitalists there to make money for themselves and their industries. Meanwhile the staff in his White House continue to shrink and become paranoid. It's scary.

And picking people who are antithetical to the department they've been chosen to lead.

In the world of Chicken Little Liberalism, the sky is always falling.

Twump isn't draining the swamp.

I suggest paying much better attention.

How many of the original high-level staff are even still working there?
 
Trump transitioned from the swamp to the cesspool.

Why not put a little meat ( substance, fact, logic, that kind of thing) in your question? You trying to imply that you dont think there is a swamp needing drained in DC?

REALLY?

Or are you thinking literal and not a figurative swamp? Maybe in the future it might be of benefit, if you are truly wanting an honest answer, to try to help your questions with, you know, an idea of what it is you are actually attempting to find out.

Seems crystal clear to me that she is implying that there is no draining of the swamp actually happening, and it is quite obvious the opposite is happening. Instead of trying to divert, why don't you give an example of how Trump IS supposedly draining the swamp. Like put a little substance fact and logic in your answer.

Except that a fair number of them actually DO know how they work and why they were built, and it only feeds their continuing and escalating HATRED OF those institutions, because to them it's all ......

I am guessing you don't have a clear understanding between a swamp and a toilet?

Neither can be "drained" until the blockage is cleared. "Away go troubles, down the drain!"

Lets see, isn't swamp rat #1 Comey gone? What about McCabe? Yates? Hillary, she's not in DC snymore, right? Ohr, Strozx, Page, and many others demoted and transfrered or stepped down. Investigations are in progress for way more than those few.

At the same time, that is not just ONE example, am I right?

Then signing an executive order a week after taking office that banned executive branch officials from lobbying for foreign governments and overseas political parties after they leave the administration...that dregged off some future real rats.

There, substance and fact as per your request...always happy to assist even the voluntarily blind.

It takes a particularly peculiar mind to see firing Comey an act of draining the swamp. McCabe and Yates? Really?
No , you are not right, and have not shown one example of draining the swamp.

Trying to recover from laughter over the executive branch officials not lobbying for foreign governments...llollll. Which presidential advisors, precisely, are NOT engaged in extensive business with foreign governments????

Much make believe substance and fact. I doubt many here require your assistance, but do continue to try...

Disprove ANY of that at your liesure, I wont hold my breath waiting. You might deny, but the denial without proof is but another confirmation by verifiable evidence just goes towards establishing the truth.

Good lord man, excuse me, woman...ya gotta be joking.

I will ask, with very little confidence of a positive answer, do you keep up with the news at all?

Even the casual observer should know a little...besides it will be good experience for you to do a bit of research to improve your political posture and chops from slightly liberal ( read: completely off base ) to, with a bit of work, slightly right since you are overly wrong at the moment.

Now, to be and remain liberal one must innundate oneself with the false predicates put out constantly by the MSM. You can sometimes find a kernel of truth ( even a blind hog can root out an acorn occassionally) or a good article, especially in the non news areas, maybe like on cooking recipes and such, in the network news cycles or buried deep in the folds of still great bottom liners for bird cages...but all those poor trees living then sacrificing themselves only to put out mainly distortions, myths, bad fictions on such scale...its an ecological and social disaster similtaneously.

1. Comey, do you know the reasons he was fired, from the perspective of Rosenstein and Sessions? No? And yes I know very well that comey is an established ( establishment ) liar, but why would comey testify under oath that the president can legaly fire him for ANY reason the president so chooses?

2. With his experience and access to proper methods of legal whistle blowing, why would a "law enforcement" guy like comey break the law and leak classified material to an academic? There wasnt anybody, not a single person, he could go to, even on the rabidly anti T side of the aisle that comey could easily legally go to, various congressional oversight committees and the like? Ok ok, just after inauguration, I would agree, that anti T could describe both sides, but that makes it even less a necessity for comey to leak to a academic so as to leak it to a collaborating MSM that would take this hot lateral from comey and friend and run with these lies( still doing it ).Danger danger, this DOES NOT COMPUTE. Comey was fired for good and proper cause and self identifed as a snake in the DC swamp

3. Yates? She defied her own boss, the sitting president, and committed all the government under her control to noncompliance with his constitutional right and duty to ban certain foreigners from entrance to our country. Liberal judges, also part of the mini swamps located outside DC, were also attempting to undermine a sitting president. She was fired, tossed from swamp summarily while the Supreme Court upheld the president's lawful position. Swamp snake # 2 removed.

4. Mc Cabe testified under oath that he and others had signed off vouching for a dossier that comey, again under oath, testfied, establishing the file to be unverified and salacious, a document of unknown value even at that late date, hell, to this very day has no known or credible pertnent truths. After viewing the Nunes memo Director Wray rapidly convinced this major swamp rat to step down.

Duh duh duh du dun dun, another one bites the sludge, da da dun dun duh, another one bites the sludge, and another ones gone and another ones gone...

How dare she defy the overlord-god-emperor Trump ? Good riddance !

Also, one must only look at the Trump cabinet appointees to realize that the Swamp is nice and healthy. I mean, do you really think appointing Tillerson, Mnuchin, Carson and DeVos to high government positions to be a form of swamp-drainage ?

Have you ANY cles about how ANYTHING works?

Just wondering, this isnt your local Roman Curia Julia you know, we have presidents with Constitutional authority and prerogatives. Right? She was a leftist rat...kinda surprised she didnt become a media darling. Whats up wid dat?

All clear on my other audit of swamp rats removed?

I dont get the impression you know much about draining swamps. For instance, the history of draining and development of the Florida Everglades dates back to the 19th century. These things just dont get done with the snap of the fingers, overnight. Yano? And if it did you would kill all the local good habitat s well. Needs to be steady dregging and after increasingly more draining. Much like the forest and trees proverb, some cannot see the swamp cause they are too deeply submerged in its murky depths.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draining_and_development_of_the_Everglades

Tillerson is far more internationally talented than either Hill or Kerry or both put together...the two were an unmitigated disaster forAmerican foreign policy. So at least a vast improvement.

Ben Carson a swamp rat? I dont think they allow smoking the funky stuff in those Curia Julias either, do they? Devos? She isnt from the DC swamp man, shes a Michigander, the Great Lakes arent swamps, yano? She was an inspired selection, love her views on school choice, give educational freedom back to the We, people, and away from state indoctrination.
