there's a good buck in that racket.
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
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.

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.
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.

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25
thought draining was keeping the same recycled people from moving into the K street jobs as well as disallowing gov workers to move into lobbyist jobs. not really sure that is in fact the case now, but that was the intended meaning.

I don't see how that drains anything, though. The really hard part about that is if you took the government jobs out, the economy would tank. Right now, without the positions filled, there are a lot of people on the payroll without direction. Nothing can be done OR undone without people assigned to work on it.
As for making the media mad- that's really funny- dump is far, far angrier at the media than the reverse. I would say that the media is MORE determined to find info, since he tries to tell us that they are all lying. Which I doubt- given the the equal messages from diverse locations. The only ones who play to dump's message is Faux, Britebart, and Russian Tass.

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25
but this president is doing exactly the same thing. And they are still happy he is "draining" - so it doesn't seem to be that.
And it's funny that we worry about special interests, but want the big corporations to have a direct advertising line, as corporations are allowed to have "free speech". THAT message has far more impact than special interests- as that's how people get elected. They are the sources of most of the fear mongering messages about legislation.

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25
But he's not even come close to introducing legislation about that.
And his cabinet is largely a group of corporate lobbyists.
Still, I'd like to hear some specific measures that we know the swamp is being drained. Right now, dump can do nothing and people still think he's making progress.

Well... this same guy told me that trumpy "is probably the smartest president we've ever had" so...

Doesn't everyone who goes to DC? I really think having Congress move around the country would help a lot, despite the logistical challenges.

"Local government for economics, federal government for social issues"
"Hang all Demoncrat and GOP establishment pols, whom I blame for my sh*tty life."
"Tyranny by white minority"
And above all else:
"Stickin' it to the libs for being right"

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25
If congress moves around, what would stop the lobbyists from following them around??? That makes zero sense- it's not as if the people doing the lobbying don't have means. Heck, many of them are local, too.
I just don't see that solving anything, other than spending even more money running the government.

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25
did you ever bother to ask how that is going to fix anything?
NOT putting people into place means nothing changes. Nobody is there to change the operating rules or directions, so nothing can change. Has anyone explained this little problem to that concept?
Well, except for the Fake News agencies. Who are actually very correct, again. I work with rules around the Greenhouse Gas laws, and unless something is done to UNDO them, they stay in place. Putting nobody in place for the EPA does not give any direction to UNDO the rules. So it solves nothing. Other than making government a whole lot less efficient.

Still, It would be interesting to ask for some real specifics about draining the swamp. Not some nebulous blame game over someone being lazy.
