Trump is draining the swamp and all we have heard from you and comrade OSH has been complaints.

I never believed that anybody could actually even begin to drain the swamp, but Trump is doing it at a breakneck pace.

I'm talking about the Politicians and I guess that you are referring to the Federal workers.  The real swamp is the corrupt politicians.

I agree that there is a lot of waste in the federal workforce, but the way that Musk has gone about trying to gut it is not only heartless, it's reckless, and there will be a lot of unintended result.

Wrong again. Yes there are plenty of corrupt politicians in DC. The most corrupt are the ones screaming the loudest about DOGE. I would also include Mitch McConnell in that group who is showing his displeasure with Trump by voting against his cabinet appointees.

The bigger problem in DC are found among the career bureaucrats who work the system to enrich themselves no matter who gets elected to Congress or to the presidency. Trump is the only president in modern history to address the issue of corrupt, self-serving bureaucrats who have not been held accountable by anyone. Trump is spending his political capital wisely by taking on this issue in exactly the manner that he promised during his campaign. 

Trump was ill-prepared to drain the swamp when he was sworn into office in 2017 but he came into office in 2025 loaded for bear.
