Swampland’s Ten Commandments

[Sir Napsalot]

The Trump family is no doubt canny about the dog-eat-dog landscapes of the Manhattan real estate lagoon. But when the Trumps arrived in Washington, as political novices they entered an entirely new swampland, with which so far they remain unfamiliar. Their transition down the coastal corridor is sort of like leaving a Florida bog of alligators and water moccasins and thereby assuming one is de facto prepared to enter the far deadlier Amazon jungle of caimans, piranhas, and Bushmasters.

Here, then, are some Beltway Swamp rules:

1) Improper Meetings. Always meet in his/hers jets, “accidentally” nose to nose on the airport tarmac. ....

2) Emails. Delete at least 30,000 before the subpoenas come, claiming they are mostly about yoga and wedding planning.

VDH's "Swampland’s Ten Commandments" forgot one more (VERY) important item -

Remove any 'inconvenient' person(s) at any cost necessary, and make it look like a botched robbery gone wrong.

[Sir Napsalot]

And, just so you people who think American People have any direct say about your country and/or the gubmint -

WE, The Beltway Insiders, ARE THE PROFESSIONALS.
