For years, MAGA Republicans have talked about “draining the DC swamp.”

Next year they gain control of the House, Senate, and White House.

Will they move to ban members of Congress from trading stocks or hold the Pentagon accountable for not passing an audit?

Probably not.

Draining the swamp and filling it with sewage.

Every time they talk that “swamp” talk, they’re describing the very people they keep voting for. There’s really no way to even begin to reason with that camp.

Cut down the trees & the swamp dries up. Remove the $$$ in politics & the swamp dries up. Getting everyone that isn’t rich to agree on this is the challenge.

We'll meet you halfway: we will ban all democrats, not republicans.

I would like to see Democrats more focused on how they're going to drain their own swamp before pointing fingers.

Does the Democratic Party ban its members from trading stocks?

As much as I'd also like to see the Dems actually do something about corruption, this particular post isn't finger pointing. Nina pointed out that Trump promised repeatedly to "drain the swamp" during his last presidency and then did nothing about it. 🤷‍♂️

"this particular post isn't finger pointing"

Their cult will believe anything. It has taken them decades but the rw media machine now dictates reality to about a third of all Americans. And their fantasyland has very little to do with the real world.
