Forums - Politics Discussion - Drain The Swamp, Today; It begins...Salute Donald J Trump

Today, the first results of the great Donald J Trump's proposals for Draining The Swamp are bearing fruit.

Of all place, the dishonest BBC, now synonymous as the trashy Marxist go-to outlet, serving the Establishment News addicts daily to those that have caught on to it's deception; Has been forced to publish this article, which is an amended hit piece.

Had Trump not intervened, it would never have been published. As it sat earlier, it was simply a hit piece on Republicans. Now Trump has cast the hammer of justice and within HOURS he was glorious in victory agains the evil and clammy swamp creatures.

The BBC did not have the conviction to honest reporting as to make it clear it was Trump's saintly work that instigating this drainage of Swamp pools in the headline.

EDIT - This is not Parody, This is hot off press - Donald has forced reversal of plans to curb ethics body powers.

All kneel before Donald and pony up high-5s like it's 1991 in liberal CA.

"Republicans are to drop a plan to gut the independent body that investigates political misconduct, after an outcry.

President-elect Donald Trump had criticised Republicans after they voted to strip the Office of Congressional Ethics of its independence.

"Focus on tax reform, healthcare and so many other things of far greater importance!" Mr Trump said in a tweet.

The proposal was dropped in an emergency meeting at the new Congress, unnamed lawmakers told the US media.

Mr Trump made cleaning up corruption in Washington a key theme of his campaign, and he ended his tweet with "#DTS", an acronym for "drain the swamp".

Good then.

This is a pro trump thread or no?

Pro Trump.

It is notable as it is first sign of Draining the Swamp and also first sign that the great Donald is happy to go against his party in the name of his policies.

I would have guessed this was 100% sarcastic. Seeing as we just found out the GOP just absolutely gutted the ethics panel.

The changes include " strip it of its independence, block it from investigating any wrongdoing that occurred prior to 2011, and prevent it from releasing its findings to the public, without the authorization of the House Committee on Ethics. The rules change would also prevent the panel from alerting law enforcement to criminal activity without the approval of the House committee."

So basically the house made it so that the house has to be ok with releasing any information.

That is less "draining the swamp" and more building 100s of damns, barricading every drain, and putting a huge stopper in every drain possible.

It is literally the opposite of "draining the swamp". All it is doing is making it much, much easier to do corrupt things.

They have reveresed their proposals on the say so of the donald.

This is breaking news. Not CNN breaking news, real breaking news.



Is this sarcastic or not?

indeed. So I give him credit from not making the congress MORE corrupt. Although this does nothing to "drain the swamp".  All it does is keep it from getting further polluted.

It is like someone falling down, and giving them a hand up. You don't get points for being nice. The right thing to do is the right thing to do with no reward. He did it because if he didn't do it - it would be a huge negative. Like kicking the person that fell down.  Thus he has only one option.

Thank you for edit removal of hostilities regarding CNN breakign news which was sarcasm and bi-partisan.

Your statement is factually correct however it fails to note one important point that is puppeted repeatedly by liberal commentators.

Donald has stood up to his own party, the republican establishment over an issue that is directly related to corruption in washington.

He has gone against the tide of corruption and has not even taken office yet.

THIS

It is our first witnessing of Trump doing exactly as he said he would, at the first opportunity.

The media were wrong, again. The liberal commentarors drunk on echo chamber gasses were wrong again. It must be hard to breathe, choking on lies and propaganda fumes.

You really need to put down that 2 gallon jug of Cool-Aid, bro.

The GOP reversed their scheme to gut the ethics committee because tens of thousands of concerned citizens lit up the phones of their congressional representatives for the past 12 hours to register their outrage. It had NOTHING to do with the narcissistic Cheet-O tweeting about it a couple hours ago. Even his tweet didn't admonish the scheme, he just said it was 'bad timing' - meaning he supports it,  but it wasn't a top priority *today*

There will be no draining of the swamp. The status quo of the swamp is guaranteed under Trump
