Donald Trump was elected in no small part due to his promise to drain the swamp that is Washington D.C., but it looks like Congress has other plans.
Honestly, it shouldn’t be a surprise at all, as the populist conservative faced an unprecedented amount of opposition from legislators during his campaign for the presidency. Not only did Democrats criticize him, but leading members of his own party like John McCain, Paul Ryan, and Lindsey Graham regularly attacked him, with the former two offering tepid endorsements of him only to promise to squash any attempts by Trump to enact his agenda once he took office.
Now that Trump is set to be sworn in as president in just over a week, Congress is frantically doing everything it can to secure its power and privileges before he comes in and cleans up shop.

Do we really know who we vote for. Dies the average person have any contact with the person running. We read their comments but no questions. When they are on break, do you see the? No, the are attending fund raisers given by the wealthy. Do you ever see them renting an area where they could gather and speak to us and answer questions. They could charge a fee and make money.
he cant do that . only the voters can…. there is still work to be done…
Just a reminder…they work for us. If we have to unite to stop this by whatever means is necessary, then this we must do.
Drain that swamp
Afraid TRUMP will come after them! The paper shredders are probably working over time!
Unfortunately it’s not just one sided. Both the Republicans and the Democrats politicians are crooked. We the people need to not vote for someone how is already in office. That is the only way to drain the swamp.
We the people have to clean house by voting them out. There are checks and balances in place which limit what the president can legally do. We the people have to hold our representatives accountable.
Already destroying evidence of the criminal activities. …do you know we have been funding and giving ISIS weapons? Can’t make this stuff up..we have been suppliers of the JV team….do you have any doubt they are killing Americans with American made weapons? ..no wonder this ” war ” has been dragged out…we are the enemy…
Wouldn’t that violate FOIA requests? Also, wouldn’t it constitute an obstruction of justice through evasion? I guess we have a case of the difference between bankers and politicians is that we get to elect these crooks. This pool doesn’t need more chlorine, it needs an acid wash.
Disgusting hypocrites
