So now we have:
Swamp Guy loved to claim credit for the COVID-19 vaccine. But I’m noticing a pattern here.
Swamp Guy said during the campaign that he had nothing to do with Project 2025.
You didn’t believe it, I didn’t believe it, Swamp Guy didn’t believe it and the people behind Project 2025 didn’t believe it.
Sure enough, the incoming swamp is full of Project 2025 people.
We have this gem from 2018 about Pete Hegseth:
“In September [2017], Hegseth’s second wife, Samantha, filed for divorce in Minnesota. The divorce filing is dated one month after Hegseth and a Fox News producer who worked on his show named Jennifer Rauchet had a child, according to a person with firsthand knowledge of the relationship.
“His first marriage also ended after Hegseth had an affair with a female work colleague.”
And these people presume to lecture us about family values.
But he’s a man after Swamp Guy’s own heart: “[W]hile running a political action committee in his native Minnesota, Hegseth spent a third of the PAC’s money on Christmas parties for families and friends.”
Swamp Guy’s pick for Treasury is Scott Bessent. According to Politico, Bessent was “chief investment officer for George Soros’ investment firm.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but isn’t Darth Soros behind all the evil conspiracies that Swamp Guy is supposed to save us from?
Some of the nuts that follow Swamp Guy like to call Democrats “groomers” and worse. But every accusation from Swamp Guy’s team is a confession, and it is no surprise that he chose Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. A man under investigation for taking indecent liberties with an underage girl.
Gaetz came and went while I was getting Is The Swamp Drained Yet? ready. It seems he was too far out there even for the Fascists in the Senate.
Not to be deterred, Swamp Guy has named Pam Bondi for Attorney General.
Bondi, you might recall, had been Attorney General in Florida. She was heading an investigation into Swamp Guy’s phony university. This investigation magically went poof after Swamp Guy sent Bondi a $25,000 bribe campaign contribution.
In 2016, a Presidential candidate promised to “drain the swamp.” He got elected on that promise. And the first thing he did was hire a parcel of alligators.
The first term of Swamp Guy brought a Gish Gallop of scandal. Every week brought such outrageous conduct that the scandals of just a few weeks before were quietly forgotten.
The mission of Is The Swamp Drained Yet? is to chronicle the scandals of Swamp Guy’s second term, that all of his corruption and idiocy may be remembered.
