Who is in the Swamp?

Postby Thogey » Wed Dec 07, 2016 7:39 pm

Wolvesdad and I have a legitimate difference of opinion.

Let's test it>
Who are the invertebrates in the swamp?
Be honest! Post before you look at other responses

Trump made no secret during the campaign he liked generals and "vicious killer" businessmen and bankers.

If then, you go and do those exact things yourself, you are a hypocrite and not to be trusted, but to be fought against and despised....... ESPECIALLY BY THOSE WHO PUT THEIR HOPE, EXPECTATIONS, TIME AND ENERGY, AND FAITH IN YOU.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

The Bush family and the Clintons are part of the swamp. Trump has already worked to flush that part in the primaries and the general election.

Goldman Sachs.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
-Thomas Jefferson
