Believe Me!

It is acknowledged by honest reporters (and how few they are!) that Trump is hell bent to deliver on all his campaign promises. Prominent among those commitments is his laudable intention to "drain the swamp!" The process to do that has begun. Swamp critters, comfortable in fetid dankness now smelling the fresh air in the wind, have begun to crawl away. Too bad the swamp doesn't have a door to smack the departing asses of Senators Corker and (well-named) Flake. Definition: "A swamp is wet spongy land, often having a growth of certain types of trees and other vegetation, but unfit for cultivation."

In political lingo, you can substitute Congress for "wet spongy land" . . . and incompetents and hangers-on for "trees and other vegetation". Crappy laws and regulation are the poor crops you get from the "unfit for cultivation" environment. Definition: Drain, per most interpretations, means to empty . . . not just lower the level of. Ergo, empty means all the swamp critters must go. The swamp can't be declared empty until the Clintons are gone . . . not just from office . . . but from the freedom to walk among us. Definition: "Scandal is an accusation receiving wide publication and reflecting badly on the subject." The scandal of the day is the Trump dossier. This creepy fabrication created by former British spy Christopher Steele (certainly no James Bond, and probably a swamp critter himself) was paid for by a US entity supposedly doing opposition research on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. The goal of the dossier was to discredit candidate Trump and eliminate his chance to become POTUS. Failing at that scheme it was perpetuated in an attempt to lead to Trump's impeachment. Ain't gonna happen! The events described in the dossier have been debunked by various officials empowered to pursue the facts, and the lies. After more than a year without any algae becoming attached to Trump, nevertheless, as recently as yesterday one of the dumbest critters in the swamp, California representative Adam Schiff, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee (what a misnomer!), continued to laud the efforts of Steele. Currently we are hearing and reading several times daily from Democrats and their supporting media that "It doesn't matter who paid for the dossier". Au contraire! When that many voices are urging you to look elsewhere, that is precisely where you look for culpability. The scandal has been reversed and will inevitably lead to the Clintons. To fulfill his campaign promise Trump must stay the course and prosecute those grifters all the way to the big house. Martha Stewart, hardly a main line grifter, did federal prison time for telling one little lie to the FBI. Imagine how much time the Clintons would do if every lie they told received a similar sentence. We're talking a century or more wearing orange!
