Drain the swamp!

[JoeNormal]

Trump is not draining the swamp. He's marrying the swamp monster! He just named former Goldman Sachs partner Steve Mnunchin as Treasury Secretary. This is the guy who kicked 35,000 families out of their homes at the height of the Great Recession, because he could make a profit.
Blue collar people who bought into Trump just received the first the first kick in the ass from Trump. Wait till they "reform" you out of your Medicare and Social Security.

That's one of the most punchable faces I've seen in a while.

It's ironic that after thirty years of Trickle Down economics has destroyed the middle class the same people who voted in Reagan (Reagan Democrats) have now voted in Trump. While he blatantly lied throughout the campaign, pretending to be a populist on the side of blue collar workers, low and behold, he has revealed himself to be a billionaire who is entrenching himself with other billionaires, the Wall Streeters, hedge funders, and Goldman Sachs types.
Who could have seen that coming?
Anyone with a brain!

There is no such economic theory.

The lady that was running the ethics on companies quit because she said she couldn't hold companies to standards that the President's own companies wouldn't adhere to.

In an era of mass incarceration, why was only one top banker convicted after the financial collapse of 2008?

Because "financial collapse" isn't a crime?

There were lots of people who should have went to jail. Did that point escape you? Not surprising considering your history or rwnj posts.

EPA Reportedly Approved Pipeline Project Linked To Lobbyist Renting Room To Pruitt | HuffPost

The Environmental Protection Agency approved a pipeline project last year during the same time period that administrator Scott Pruitt was renting a room from the wife of a lobbyist who represented the pipeline’s owner, The New York Times reported on Monday.

The news comes amid a growing controversy surrounding Pruitt’s unusual housing arrangement, in which he paid $50 a night to rent a room in a luxury condo from Vicki Hart, whose husband runs Williams & Jensen, a well-known energy lobbying firm.

The rental agreement, which was open-ended, offered a rate that was well below market value. The White House is conducting an informal review of the matter, unnamed officials told the Wall Street Journal and CNN.

At the same time that Pruitt had access to the condo, the EPA signaled its approval for a pipeline project from Enbridge Inc. The Canada-based company hoped to expand its Alberta Clipper pipeline and ship hundreds of thousands of barrels of additional oil to the U.S. each day.


Lock him up!!!

Seth Meyers Shreds Trump Over Scandals: 'Drain The Swamp' Is Now Devoid Of All Meaning | HuffPost

Donald Trump vowed during the 2016 election campaign that he would “drain the swamp.” On Monday’s broadcast of “Late Night,” host Seth Meyers checked in on the president’s purported efforts to reduce outside influence In Washington.

And he wasn’t enamored with what he found.

“I’m sorry but after all your scandals, the phrase ‘drain the swamp’ is now devoid of all meaning. You might as well chant ‘We Like Ike’ or ‘Brooklyn Dodgers,’” joked Meyers.


“Trump’s cabinet has had one corruption scandal after another and his personal fixer is literally selling personal access to the president,” Meyers added, referencing the Michael Cohen controversy. “Trump didn’t drain the swamp. He bottled it and sold it as Dr. Trump’s Miracle Healing Elixir.”

Here is how Trump is draining the swamp:

Trump said he will grant a full pardon on Thursday to conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza, who was sentenced in 2014 to five years of probation for federal campaign law violations.

"Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!" Trump said on Twitter.

D’Souza, 53, admitted in May 2014 that he illegally reimbursed two “straw donors” who donated $10,000 each to the unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign in New York of Wendy Long, a Republican he had known since attending Dartmouth College in the early 1980s.

At the time, the government said a prison sentence of 10 months to 16 months was appropriate for D’Souza, and necessary to deter others from abusing the election process, including “well-heeled individuals who are tempted to use their money to help other candidates.”

Trump says will pardon conservative commentator D'Souza

So Trump is not draining the swamp. If he was he wouldn't be pardoning rich guys who break campaign finance laws.

What about his EPA appointment?

Scott Pruitt Asked Aide To Buy Used Trump Mattress, Book Flights On Personal Time
Two congressmen say the EPA chief probably broke the law — again.

statements made by Pruitt’s director of scheduling and advance Millan Hupp, whom Pruitt regularly asked to do personal tasks for him, likely in violation of federal ethics laws.

Among the requests detailed in Monday’s release are these oddities:

• In the summer of 2017, Scott Pruitt asked Hupp to look into buying “an old mattress” from the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Hupp told investigators she wasn’t sure what, exactly, Pruitt wanted the used Trump mattress for, or if he ended up buying it. To the best of her knowledge, it wasn’t for EPA business.
• Pruitt asked Hupp to book personal travel for him, at one point contacting Hupp while she was on vacation over Christmas and instructing her to book flights so he could see the Rose Bowl.
• At Pruitt’s direction, Hupp spent “several hours per week over the course of several months” personally researching and visiting rental properties for the EPA administrator to move into. Pruitt and his wife ultimately selected an apartment Hupp found, but then moved out soon after because “they were not comfortable in the area,” Hupp said. (This is about the same time Pruitt was renting an apartment from the wife of a prominent energy lobbyist at below-market rates.)

“If Ms. Hupp’s statements to the Committee are accurate, Administrator Pruitt crossed a very clear line and must be held accountable,” Reps. Connolly and Cummings wrote. “Federal ethics law prohibits Administrator Pruitt from using his official position for personal gain and from requesting and accepting services from a subordinate employee that are not part of that employee’s official duties.”


Monday’s revelations are the latest in a long, long string of questionable activity undertaken at Pruitt’s behest.

Over the weekend, we learned Pruitt has an appetite for fancy pens, and reportedly spent $3,230 last August at a D.C. jewelry store on a dozen silver fountain pens and some personalized journals ― at taxpayer expense.

In April, the Government Accountability Office concluded the EPA chief’s decision to install a $43,000 soundproof phone booth was illegal. And presumably there are a number of other ongoing investigations into Pruitt’s extensive use of first-class travel, expensive security detail, and official visits to international locales with no clear relation to his work at the EPA.
