FILL THE SWAMP! FILL THE SWAMP!
"Four legs good, two legs better!" -Animal Farm
From the article:
In the final weeks of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, he pledged to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C. by, among other things, introducing tough new restrictions on lobbying.
“I am proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again,” Trump said during the October 17 appearance in Green Bay, Wisconsin where he first used the “drain the swamp” line.
It appears Trump is already backtracking on that pledge. Politico reports that “lobbyists are all over” Trump’s transition team. Those lobbyists include Cindy Hayden of tobacco company Altria; Michael Torrey, owner of a lobbying firm representing the American Beverage Association; Steve Hart, chairman of the Williams & Jensen firm; and Michael McKenna, who lobbies on behalf of Dow Chemical.
Trump’s reliance on insiders goes beyond lobbyists. His financial advisory team is full of veteran Wall Streeters such as former Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin, the Wall Street Journal reports. Both Mnuchin and former JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon are reportedly in the mix to be Trump’s Treasury Secretary.

Give Russia a natural gas pipeline, Tax structure that goes against Trump, Clinton and JFK Economic theory, President Clinton defended the border with national guard while President Biden does everything in his power to weaken border patrol and let's illegals into the country. 10% of them have the Coronavirus and we send them anywhere they want to go in the country.

Biden’s failed policies have Obama’s signature all over them. Clearly, Biden is incapable of filling the shoes of POTUS. If you want to know who’s leading this country find out who is making Biden’s note cards up for him and telling him what to say. Obama’s on his 3rd term trying to complete the destruction of this country that he started.
