Trump quote: Campaign donations are given to our politicians, and our polititions are never going to do whats right for you, the american people. So who did Trump nominate for his cabinet? Those who donated biggly to the republican party and most specifically to his campaign. And those same nominees gave large sums to the Senators who would confirm them. Drain the swamp indeed! Odd, don't you think though, how conservative voters don't seem to notice Trumps hypocrisy in action.

You do realize he's saying "big league", not "bigly", right?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by Starlight View PostThere was lots of discussion over it in the primaries as to which of the two he was saying. But by reviewing his twitter posting over his lifetime it was found that he fairly regularly wrote "big league" and never "bigly", so the consensus was that he probably means "big league" though people do still use "bigly" to mock him because his pronunciation of big league sounds like bigly.

As SNL noted in one of their great little skits, Trump seems like he's trying to build the swamp...
It's hard to get more swampy than Trump's cabinet. 3 Goldman Sachs people, a Big-Oil CEO, a major campaign donor. It's just absurdly swampish, far more so than I would even have expected from $Hillary Clinton."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I think the most significant steps that Trump has taken so far to "drain the swamp" is the one to drastically curtail the revolving door between government employee and paid lobbyists.

I find it hilarious that when Trump fires these career politicians and replace them with his people, the liberals complain that they have no experience and want his cabinet blocked. Then they complain he isn't draining the swamp. They won't let him. Besides, it has only been ONE MONTH! how much draining can he accomplish in one month, especially with all the obstructionism going on?

Originally posted by JimL View PostIts not that he is firing career polititions, no one is complaining about that, every president puts his own team in place, nothing wrong with that, its who he is replacing them with. He is replacing them with the very kinds of people that he told you he wouldn't. Trump is putting in place the very people who were, prior to their nomination, pulling the strings of the politicians in Congress to cater to their special plutocratic interests. Now these unethical scumbags no longer have to pay to play, they are in charge, and the only ones who are going to have to pay for it are the american people. Do you remember this quote from Trump: "They are giving large sums of money to the polititians, and those polititians aren't going to do right by the american people." Well, those very doners gave huge amounts of money to Trump, as well as to the Senators charged with confirming them. The puppeteers no longer need their political puppets, no longer have to pay to play. Its no wonder Trump is putting restrictions on lobbyists, what need is there of lobbiests when the lobbyists are now in catbirds seat.
