Will it take decades to end the corruption in politics and government?
So I guess the swamp wins.
I don’t know...
Primary a few of their asses out of office and it will quickly become self-draining.
Let’s find out what the swamp dwellers know and are holding over their head... I am betting a whole bunch of them have skeletons that were thoroughly researched before they arrived, which would explain the sudden change they seem to undergo when they reach DC.
I know I am generally a good guy but there are certainly dark and fuzzy things in my past I would prefer not be splashed all over the front page. Like the time I drunkenly puked on a girls head that picked up in a bar and then made her walk home. (because she had puke all over her!) I’d hate for that to get out.
...Bannon said during an “interrogation” by CBS News anchor Charlie Rose for 60 Minutes....
It was not an interview.
Yes, I think he’s right about this but we only have Trump for eight years.
Is Bannon right?
Will it take decades to end the corruption in politics and government?
Heck yeah bannon is right?
I know we live in a “want it RIGHT NOW’ world but cmon........... is there anyone here who thought this would happen in one term? 2 terms?
The swamp is fully imbedded. Its a monstrosity and its not gonna willingly give up its power. This is gonna take multiple administrations and will probably take longer than a couple of decades because I’m sure we’ll have a democratic administration sprinkled in there.
They’ve been talking about “draining the swamp” since the early 90’s.
Call me pessimistic but I’m not sure that we can ever drain the swamp. It’s too big, too pervasive, etc.
We can slow it down every now and then but the only way to eliminate would be a major upheaval - a revolution if you will. The American people are not ready for that. They only care about how many apps are on their smart phone or who’s gonna win this year’s version of “Dancing With The Stars”.
End the “BENEFITS” of the Swamp, and the Swamp will drain itself.
End the Central Banking System and it will put the Republic back on the right path.
The swamp is like the ocean — it is UNDRAINABLE.
The quickest way out of the swamp is to secede from it. Clean quick. People will figure that out one day.
If you think of this as WWII, you could make the comparison that the GOP treachery on Obamacare was akin to Pearl Harbor. It woke us up and got us REALLY angry. Or maybe, got ENOUGH of us angry enough to NOT go back to sleep if offered a sweetie from the government tit.
But wars aren’t won in a day. To stretch the metaphor, we have to hypercharge our production of warships (candidates), train and equip an army (us), and most of all, gain the will to see this through to the end.
For the first time in the last 30 years, the swamp is in retreat, but if we become demoralized and give up, they win.
NO! That's not going to cut it.
If my toilet gets plugged, it is not going to take me "decades" to drain it. And the toilet contains the same crap that's filling The DC Swamp.
In ancient Rome the Emperor Hadrian tried draining the swamp starting in 117 AD. When Flavius Orestes whacked Julius Nepos in 480 AD, the Western Roman Empire fell. The swap is still there. Students of later Italian history might suggest that the Roman swamp is still going strong over 1500 years later.
Draining wetlands can be quite challenging.
Bull$hit.
Start throwing people in jail for committed crimes and it will evaporate very quickly.
Start with The Cankle and The Bent One.
The swamp will never be drained. The biggest problem isn’t corruption, it’s tradition. Things in DC work the way they do because that’s how they’ve always worked and anybody that has a better idea gets it beaten out of them. It’s the banana on the top of the cage, none of the gorillas know why you’re not allowed to go for that banana, but they reinforce the rule on every new gorilla.
Couldn’t agree more with Bannon.
Fifty years and more of insidious Leftist advances and they own every institution, academia, churches, corporations, money supply, military and globalist goals.
The little people are left with our little paper ballots, our first conservative president, for eight months in and counting, and we have yahoos expecting fast food service on a national turn around.
Pathetic short sightedness. It’s overwrought jock speak, with no jocks in the driver’s seat and quite over stepping reality on the ground.
Yes, Bannon is right.
We need to start in 2018 with the Amnesty Senators
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake.
There will always be corruption in politics as long as there’s power, advantage & money to hand out.
It will never be zero just prosecute it when you find it.
Eliminate:
Government unions
Lobbyists
Revolving doors between government agencies and companies
Automatic budget increases
Agency-created laws and rules
Budgets for race-based “caucuses”
Unlimited campaign funds
Mega PACS without disclosure of every donor’s name
You’d be well on your way.
I doubt it will ever, ever happen.
