Swamp Guy shakes down Des Moines Register
Emboldened, perhaps, after ABC paid $15 million in
bribesDanegelddamages for calling a rapist a rapist, Swamp Guy has sued the Des Moines Register over a poll that had Kamala Harris in the lead.To have standing to sue, you have to suffer harm. Swamp Guy won in Iowa. Just what harm has he suffered?
Here’s hoping we don’t get a crooked judge like the Miami Fangirl, and that the judge enters summary judgment and awards lawyer’s fees, to be paid out of Swamp Guy’s hide and not the US Treasury.

Make America sick again
So now we have:
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., well-known antivaxxer and anti-fluoride activist, to run Health and Human Services
- Mehmet Oz, TV doctor and touter of hydroxychloroquine and quack weight-loss products and some-time antivaxxer, to run the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services
- And now Dave Weldon, forced birther and antivaxxer, to run the Centers for Disease Control.
Swamp Guy loved to claim credit for the COVID-19 vaccine. But I’m noticing a pattern here.

Project 2025
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.

Party of family values
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.”

Aren’t we supposed to be afraid of Soros?
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?
