The swamp is draining......
washington examiner ^ | April 13, 2018 | Adam Brandon

Posted on 04/13/2018 1:11:38 PM PDT by caww

The State Department and the Environmental Protection Agency took the hardest hits, collectively eliminating 6,600 jobs over the past year.

The federal government didn’t create $21 trillion in national debt overnight, and it won’t disappear overnight either. We have a long road ahead of us to reign in spending and restore constitutionally-limited government.

However, we can finally say this: After decades of fighting to help grassroots America take back its seat at the table, the results are in and the numbers don’t lie.

The cadre of fiscal conservatives in the House and Senate dedicated to draining the swamp is growing. The Beltway machine built to manipulate government and appropriate money and power only to the wealthy and well-connected is shrinking.

It may be at a slow drip, but rest assured: the swamp is draining.

Annie – Tomorrow

The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There’ll be sun!

Just thinkin’ about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
‘Til there’s none!

When I’m stuck in a day
That’s gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh

The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
‘Til tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!

You’re always
A day
A way!

Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!

You’re always
A day
A way!

Our only task is to deliver the mid-terms. Everything else is just noise.

We DO, but at least with PDJT (and Ryan leaving!) we just MIGHT have a fighting chance!

MAGA! :)

“......fiscal conservatives in the House and Senate dedicated to draining the swamp is growing.”......

Now if only those fiscal conservatives (Need many more) would get behind the POTUS to Make America Great Again.

Trump has another 2 1/2 years to pull the drain plug in the bottom the swamp. Unless he gets reelected, we will be back to where he started, with only a few swamp dwellers missing.

Yea, and even if Trump wins a 2nd term which he likely will. The GOP-e is lined up ready for GHB version 2 to come on in and undo it all and create the same old crap.

This is Reagan Version 2 all over again. In those 8 years they all hated him and forces Bush on him as VP. Then they just waited out the 8 years and continued on with their agenda. Its a mess, it’s only gonna get uglier.

....” it’s only gonna get uglier”..

Did you really think it wouldn’t? Wars and conflicts are rare to end in less than ten years.....do you think what Trump is dealing with in Washington with the established Gope/Demo swamp would be any different?

It’s amazing and stunning what this man has accomplished under 24/7 fire from inside and out....nobody really has any room to complain as I see it. What’s he’s done is remarkable.

So of course the battles going to rage......they want their positions,power and revenue sources to remain as is..they’re not as Trumps going after them all! And he’ll use any of them to think they’re in his court while he sets them up for their fall.

“The cadre of fiscal conservatives in the House and Senate dedicated to draining the swamp is growing.”

Really? Maybe it is in the House, but in the Senate who is there there today? Other than the gadfly, Rand Paul, who, on occasion does something useful instead of destructive, or maybe Ted Cruz, just who would you call a Trump supporting conservative, the Cabana Boy from FL? And every time a real conservative tries to run for the Senate, there's the RNC, Bitch McConnell, and down South Hayley Barbour, pouring millions of dollars into the campaign to seat another RINO and besmirch the good name of the Conservative who's running against the GOPE. And predictably the "Southern Voters" dutifully elect another "OF" who can't remember if he zipped up his fly the last time he took a leak! (i.e. Jeff Sessions and Thud Cockless) Then there's the "leadership." All the Freedom Caucus can do is put up a measured fight in the House, which still has enough RINOs to elect a piece of $hit like Paul Ryan. Yeah, we've come a log way baby, not!
