Welcome back by the way. It's been awhile. You've turned against the God Emperor himself?! This displeases me. So far he's done everything he promised he would do except build the wall, but that's not his fault. The Democrats keep blocking the funding for it. There's only so much he can do y'know, draining the swamp takes time. I'll let you off and just assume that you're having a bad day. ;)Quote:

Then why in the hell did you bring him up in the first place?
Because he brought up the Clintons as if they are the only guilty party in being a sicko in their kiddy porn ring. All of them are. I also never made racist posts about the "Swamp"
He promised more than the wall. He said he would end chain migration, birthright citizenship, deport illegal immigrants, reform legal immigration. And yes this all has to do with the massive demographic transformation of the U.S.Quote:

Me and Mega will try to keep it briefQuote:

The energy at his rallies looks incredible and I only wish I was over in the states so I could go to one. Next year I predict he'll wipe the floor with the socialist psychopaths that currently infest the Democrat party.
Anyhoo that's enough politics otherwise people will get upset.
The only people who use the term swamp in that fashion is Trump supporters in a derogatory way each time. I also don't even get why someone in the UK cares.
I suspect that the more astute folk in the uk know that whatever policies emanate from Washington may well effect them (whether they are in favor of them or not). And our politics (from what I can tell) are more lively than theirs.Quote:

The M.O. of the left: When something can not be disputed with facts, pull the race card. Each party is well known for something but in this case it is the constant pulling of the race card by the left/democrats.Quote:

Washington, DC was actually built upon a watershed drainage basin, much of which was swamp land at one time. In fact, there was a period in the mid 19th century when a major land reclamation effort was taken to drain much of the settled water via canals, but what resulted was stagnant purified water. This is when the term "drain the swamp" began appearing more frequently in political commentaries as a metaphor about government corruption, most notably as a rallying cry by abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison prior to the Civil War.Quote:

This conversation reminded me of Lisa's speech on The Simpsons from when I was a kid. :D

Well, the “swamp” is actually referring to the White House, not the projects. So you can unpucker a bit. ;)Quote:
