The beginning of the challenging and glorious process of “draining the swamp.” “Challenging” because of how widespread and entrenched incompetence and corruption has become in America’s government, and “glorious” because we will be restoring “we the people’s” bright and noble birthright that currently lies neglected, tarnished, and broken.
You may think that I am jumping the gun, as Trump is only President-elect. True enough, but that light at the end of the tunnel puts a smile on my face and brings tears to my eyes. Oh happy day. Laus Deo!
