What happened to "Drain the Swamp"?

Let's see what Durham finds in his investigation...K Street is quite a chore to sweep with a toothbrush. ..a work in progress.

That and some of the Swamp residents will fight their getting evicted...see MSNBC and CNN for proof.

Many of the same detention facilities used now were in use during Obama's tenure. He was quite the deporter himself. Miss A Occasional Cortex embellished just a little regarding the border conditions...look again. There is plenty of journalistic video footage that shows humane treatment.

Come on bob; you use the term "Ivanka's wife" while trying to tell other people they are spinning things?
Seems all your spinning has made you the dizzy one.

I was grinning the whole time I typed. And I'm a S L O W typer.
I absolutely thought it was the wittiest thing I've come up with in quite a while. LOL.

At least since the "I'm ying for Yang" thing..................

AND I did put it in parenthesis.............right after Kosher.
LOL

Ambassadors? Trump hired the same people he criticized in 16. Corruption is alive and well.

I never said Ambassadors

Who that he criticized did he hire? He, unlike several before him, did retain some career appointees, and did not completely clean house of the Federal attorneys like Obama did. Please show proof of said corruption. Hoping a crime exists is not proof, as we have repeatedly witnessed...

Among the many questions to emerge from Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s dramatic and at times farcical testimony during Congress’s impeachment hearings is one so glaring that it’s almost hard to see: How did Sondland, a moderately successful hotelier in Portland, become the U.S. ambassador to the European Union in the first place?

Sondland, who had formerly been opposed to Trump’s nomination, waged an aggressive lobbying campaign to get into then-President-Elect Trump’s good graces—and paid $1 million for tickets to Trump inaugural celebrations. (The inaugural committee was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors in New York earlier this year.) Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, asked Sondland about the donation. “That’s a lot of money, isn’t it?” Sondland grinned and replied: “That’s a lot of money.”

That’s also, of course, business as usual in Washington. Most critical ambassadorships typically go to seasoned foreign service veterans, but it’s customary for presidents to hand out many positions—about a third—to top donors and bundlers. The tradition is unique among developed countries and is technically illegal—money isn’t supposed to be a factor in political appointments—but it’s on the rise. Roughly 30% of President Barack Obama’s foreign service appointments were people with political ties—typically donors, according to a paper by Ryan Scoville, an associate professor at Marquette University Law School. Under Trump, that ratio has increased to over 40%, the highest number since Franklin Roosevelt. That shift has been accompanied by a dramatic flight of career foreign service people.

Just look at who he appointed when he first took office. Tillerson, Mnuchin, etc. Nearly every post has been filled by someone with corporate ties.

I criticize Obama for that too. But Trump dramatically expanded the detention centers. Virtually everyone who has visited has exposed the inhumane treatment of migrants, along with the migrants themselves. You have been brainwashed.

Perhaps I have, and perhaps the MSM has blatantly deceived you...they have an agenda. They by and large are no longer journalists. They simply parrot for their liberal masters. Chuck Todd, political editor for NBC, pretends to be naive about the goings on in Washington politics. Bullshit. He is a Democrat's minion. Same for that little Clinton minion Stephanopolous. Martha Raditz openly wept on air when Shrillary lost. Maddow has trumpeted their talking points since before Trump took office. They hire Brennan and Strozk to spew the nonsense...

Yeah this is why I root against the Washington establishment. ..

On December 9, 2016 President Obama ordered the Intelligence Community to "conduct a full review and produce a comprehensive intelligence report assessing Russian activities and intentions in recent U.S. elections". https://icontherecord.tumbl...

On January 6, 2017, less than 30 days later, the FBI, the CIA, and NSA, completed their report which concluded that Putin and the Russians had meddled in the 2016 election. Amazing! Without ever physically examining the DNC server the IC was able to determine that Russia was responsible for the hack. FBI Director James B. Comey said the bureau requested but was denied direct access to the Democratic National Committee’s email servers and other hacked devices as part of its probe of Russian hacking. Mr. Comey said the FBI made “multiple requests” for access, but ultimately a private company (Crowdstrike, the DNC's cybersecurity cintractor) was the one to conduct the forensic review and then shared details about what it found with investigators. “It’s not the way we would prefer to do the investigation,” Mr. Comey said. https://www.washingtontimes...
Well, then, Mr Comey, you're the FBI... why did you permit the DNC to refuse access?

The entire Russia collusion was based on the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC. It took Mueller two years to determine that there was no collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia but only 30 days for Brennan to conclude the opposite. **sniff, sniff** I smell BS.

You are assuming that I watch any of their shows, which I do not. You also assume that the "Left wing media" are the only biased media outlets, when Fox News is a wing of the Republican party. Difference is that Fox is actually corrupt, and they are effective at swinging opinion.

Fox is biased as well. I have seen them give more opportunities for opposing views than the others.

How is Fox corrupt, and the others are not? Hiring Brennan, likely the kingpin of the collusion narrative, that is above board? Strozk? You don't see them as being complicit?

I disagree. CNN hires plenty of Trumpers to create drama and narratives.

I don't see a connection between the DNC and MSNBC or CNN, for instance. Trump is influenced by Fox and Friends, and Fox anchors have campaigned for Republicans.

This is very interesting.

HOW MANY OF CNN HOSTS are Republicans? How many Democrats?
