POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25

[Drew S.]

So here's a dumb question- does anyone really know what people mean by "draining the swap"?

A dump supporter in Arizona mentioned it on NPR this morning, and I honestly could not figure out what she really meant.

I had thought that draining the swamp meant getting rid of corruption and whatnot. And while there is corruption, it's not massively widespread, I would not think. Too many congressmen have gone to jail to make risking it worth while.

But based on that definition, the start of this administration have just added corruption- the president will not release his income, so that we know what he's making from the US tax payers, nor have we any idea what dump inc is making from non-US sources. We do know that dump hasn't really separated himself from dump inc- he's going to add to his money instead of someone else.

So that can't be it.

How will people know if the "swamp" is really being drained?

As of now, it *seems* as if the only goal is to stop all government support of people, especially the poor and uneducated. Moreso the immigrants. Even better if they are not evangelical.

It's hard to figure out what people expect from dump. It IS really clear that the standard is really, really low. Just getting a bill through the house is a really big deal. Or doing something Obama should have constitutionally done with the SCOTUS. But nothing REAL has happened, nor does it appear to be in the card any time soon. Given the support of the speech last night, it's also clear that ending any place that we go out an kill people isn't a goal, too- the open ended, kill what we want, leave the country in shambles- so that we can kill more people is perfectly ok.

Anyway- it's hard to understand what "drain the swap" really means. If it even has a real meaning.

I don't think it's necessarily corruption. It seems to me that a lot of politicians have the best of inentions when they run, but as soon as they get to DC give in to special interests. It would be interesting to know what role social pressure plays in the decisions legislators make. I almost think we would be better off in congress moved around the country instead of always meeting in DC.

It's a stretch but one guy told me he is draining the swamp by leaving vacancies unfilled in the bureaucracy. As for what people want from Trump, it's to p. o. Liberals by ANY means. The same guy told me he can judge trumpy's overall success simply by how angry "the media" is.

So Donald now trusts the same Generals he hated last year? The ones he said he knew more than?

Yep, he's a neocon, globalist cuck now.

We shouldn't even say we're over there at all. If someone asks Trump, he should just pretend he doesn't even know what Afghanistan is. Yeah, that's it, "pretend"....

Like the SNL skit where Reagan did all the stuff in private with the staff, but when a public person came in he changed to "all shucks"

That was Phil Hartman Mookie perhaps recalls....

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25

Why broadcast to the enemy how many and where and what?? Not like they can just count... er

"No longer use military to construct democracies "

Good. Some people just don't function well under that system. Need order to promote safety in the streets

[mookie1995]

No it's totally different. This time he's not going to let the American people know how many soldiers are over there too.

So he just gave a half-hour speech on national television where he said we're going to keep doing whatever we were doing in Afghanistan, but harder, and it's Obama's fault for leaving him this.

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25

Obama caused the War in Afghanistan?

Wasnt Trump going to scale back the military...wasnt he against us fighting overseas?

Bush started it, Obama continued it, and Trump will finish it! Like Hillary and birtherism.
