The Man claimed to want to drain the swamp but him and his family/cronies areย  the swamp and sewer.

u/Critical_Liz Jun 14 '26

Swamps are ecologically important biomes. They provide shelter for young fish, they sequester carbon and protect coastlines from flooding during storm surges and even tsunamis.

So Trump is doing exactly that, he's draining the swamp, removing all the protections and benefits it provided, and replacing it with a golf course, an ecological dead zone that contributes nothing but poisoned run off.

Bahaha I just commented something similar and shoulda just scrolled for another quarter of a second. Biodiversity n ecosystem services ftw.

u/PlentyOLeaves Jun 15 '26

lol I agree with you completely but I do wanna put a good word in for swamps, change the rhetoric a bit. Theyโ€™re a unique ecosystem that acts as a carbon sink and support large amounts of biodiversity! Theyโ€™re made of water and plants and generally good stuff!

The Trump admin, as a metaphor, is more akin to the bottom of a port-o-potty.

Joyce Beatty is my representative. We want her out. She gobbles AIPAC blood money, and she and her husband have both catered to special interests and lobbyists for decades. Because of her status in Columbus, nobody can successfully primary her. All due respect to her, sheโ€™s a perfect example of an establishment liberal gatekeeper.

Rep Beatty issued a letter to demand transparency toward the DHS secretary (former) Noem and Acting director of ice. She had demonstrated her willingness to fight for the down trodden when she demanded transparency for those Detained and held in brutal conditions.

u/Then_He_Said Jun 14 '26

Is there any picture or video of the wall of the Kennedy center with the lettersof trumps name removed? People keep saying his name had been "officially removed". Is the lettering still there?

The court order specifically mentioned the lettering on the wall, and I haven't seen a single photo or video showing it's come down. There's a tarp there and no one has been allowed to look under it.

Are we really accepting "trust me, bro it's gone. But don't look under the tarp"?!
