Swamp must be drained.
Sewage from the draining must be cleansed.
By fire.
No exceptions.
The swamp wants death to America.
America demands death to the swamp.
Not even close to kidding.

I think Trump was planning on that in his second term.... doing it in the first term could have kept him from a second.

He surely would do it in the next term.. and they know it... all the more to keep him out.

What a refreshing to have new blood and end the corruption for a time.

Until Trump starts listening to true Patriots he will continue to employ establishment globalists like Bill Barr and we will never get our country back. The deep state must be identified to be destroyed.

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!

instrumental interlude

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Not drained. Paved over. The only way to regain the Republic and avoid the totalitarian near future(not considering the tech giants) is to repeal Civil Service and abolish all Federal Departments, Agencies, Commissions, Authorities, bureaus, and all other Executive Office entities capable of making rules back to the original George Washington’s Cabinet i.e. Interior, War(Defense), Treasury, and Attorney General. That is certainly a pipe dream but it is what would have to be done. The techs are another problem and probably render all political reforms trivial.

From an engineering perspective, how do you drain a swamp anyway? Pump out the water and fill it with soil.

The water of DC is our tax dollars and corrupt influence money. It is the environment that our swamp creatures live in. Much of the corrupt influence money is payback from foriegn sources that are funded with our tax dollars. Foriegn aid must be eliminated. And those pushing for it must be outed publicly as the most corrupt of the corrupt./mild rant off

If there was one clear lesson from Trump’s 4 years, it is that ‘the swamp’ is a misnomer:

It is analogous to an infestation, but the leftist-progressive ideology also tainting many republicans is not an insect, but a virus.

There is no ‘draining’ ‘the swamp’. That itself is just another perpetual ‘crisis’ (e.g., ‘war on drugs’).

There is likewise no ‘vaccine’ for this virus.

It must be eradicated.

The ‘swamp’ - if that’s what its moniker remains (I would label it “Rome”) - must be BURNED.

As President Trump found out, that’s easier said than done!

The swamp is ginormous and deep! YUUUGE!!!

I think you are right. These leeches would be long gone, if Americans weren’t such willing victims.

Every two years, we must vote out every RINO who must face a primary and replace them with MAGA patriots, especially in the state legislature.

And get behind ONE challenger. Stop splitting the vote and giving the election to RINOs.

This is the only way we get our country back.

The Democrats could not have stolen anything without RINO-controlled state legislatures that turned a blind eye to their cheating.

No more RINOs = No more stolen elections.

It not even a swamp any more.

It’s an open sewer and beyond. More like an overused outhouse or portapotty.

The problem is, it’s not a swamp but an ocean.

We will never be able to drain the swamp if Trump keeps endorsing Swamp Monsters.

Here is a plan……the GOP hates it….

The GOP is useless should have started a triad party after the first George Bush…

The red states should get together and collect IRS tax money …

And only send D.C money for a few things…and take no federal money and federal regulations

We are not free

Actually, one now-proven path to "regaining the Republic" and reforming the bureaucracy was accomplished by Sonny Perdue at the Department of Agriculture in 2019.

It was the same kind of decision many corporations make to remove high-paid employee dead wood: simply move offices to a remote location.

And that's exactly what Perdue did.  He moved the headquarters of certain units of the Department of Agriculture to Kansas City — and saved the taxpayers "hundreds of millions of dollars" and in the process canning "1,000 employees" from the bloated Agriculture bureaucracy.

Here's the glorious story from CNN explaining this success:

Employees turn their back on Agriculture secretary over being relocated to Kansas City

Yes, it certainly is..

The cure is a constitutional convention with the express purpose of repealing the 17th Amendment and eliminating the Senior Executive Service.

Our Founding fathers were not stupid.

Conrad Black: Trump will return to office and do better in it if he’s less needlessly abrasive and self-obsessed.

* * *

I assume one of the conditions of Conrad Black getting published in conservative publications is he is required to ding Trump on being "needlessly abrasive and self-obsessed".   This is to please the swamp RINOs.

What Conrad Black probably wanted to say is:

There, fixed it.
