We have a president who says that he is concerned about corruption and yet he granted clemency to several white-collar criminals who were convicted on charges involving fraud, corruption and lies. Somebody tell me how is this draining the swamp?

He is for the Republican party, as nobody has the guts to go against him.

Not a Republican anyway. Tonight’s debate will be interesting now Bloomberg is in the mix.

Instead of draining the swamp, it should be filled… drowning them all. 😒

I guess that is one way of putting it, but saying something like you are against corruption and then acting like a tyrant will never cut it in my book.

No. That man is demonstrating corruption in so many ways, but he believes he’s the good guy. I try hard not to comment on the idiots in politics, but the damage done … by all of them, everywhere – do they really believe that capitalism is their religion, that the end they want always justifies the means?
Sorry, Jim – it always makes me cranky.
