Re: Swamp Watch News
But please tell me again how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is swampy because she hired her boyfriend?
Oh wait, turns out she didn't hire her boyfriend.
That was just a hair-fire meme on the Right that turned out to be bogus.

New day, more swamp.
The Senate on Thursday confirmed Andrew R. Wheeler to be the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, giving oversight of the nation’s air and water to a former coal lobbyist and seasoned Washington insider.

Re: Swamp Watch News
So the GOP was losing their crap over the fake news about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hiring her boyfriend on her staff. It wasn't true but they ran with it anyway and accused her of being "the swamp" already. Meanwhile we just learned that the President of the United States allowed someone to have clearance despite advice from security officials. Who was that person? Jared Kushner, his son in law. Not only is this infinitely worse than hiring a spouse on your staff, it shows that President is a national security threat to our nation when he just doesn't care about the significance of having top secret clearance.
So what does the GOP say about this?
Nada.

New York Times: Trump demanded Kushner get top-secret security clearance
It's mind boggling to me how our CinC can do this, lie about it, and other than a passing article no action will be taken. What's even more concerning is his base simply doesn't care, not really comprehending the problems this entails for our national security. This is party platter cheese balls crazy.

New York Times: Trump demanded Kushner get top-secret security clearance
The directive prompted two internal memos -- one from Kelly on being "ordered" to grant Kushner the clearance, and another from then-White House counsel Don McGahn listing the issues raised against Kushner, including from the CIA, and advising that he not receive the clearance, according to the paper.
...
The report contradicts previous assertions by Trump and his daughter Ivanka that the President did not direct White House officials to coordinate for Kushner to acquire a clearance.

Re: Swamp Watch News
On a related note, that Kushner security clearance story is significantly worse in national security terms than Clinton's private server was. Something tells me that not only will we not get wall-to-wall Republican outrage over it, we also won't get wall-to-wall media coverage over it that dwarfs any other story for the next year or so.

Re: Swamp Watch News
The general game plan for getting rid of the swamp appears to be to fill it to the point that it is no longer a swamp, but a lake.
Take that, libtards!
