How Trump filled the swamp
With promises to “drain the swamp!” still ringing in our ears, we have watched Trump appoint nothing but Goldman banksters, Soros stooges, neocon war hawks and police state zealots to head his cabinet. Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we examine the swamp-dwellers with which Trump has filled his swamp.

There was never any chance that Trump would do anything other than restock the swamp.
Great post! Truth is:
„Kennedy and No Change!“: https://wipokuli.wordpress.com/2012/01/06/kennedy-and-%e2%80%9eno-change/
And Trump has tried to “drain the swamp” by picking “Things from the swamp” and then jumping into it himself! Most of it out of growing fear:
„President Elect Trump: Has His Struggle for Survival Already Begun?“: https://wipokuli.wordpress.com/2016/12/30/president-elect-trump-has-his-struggle-for-survival-already-begun/
So he´ll end up as a puppet himself!

Dear James, You are right. Elections don’t matter. Never have. Never will. You are wrong. People might want to defect from the system, even ‘en masse,’ but the system won’t let them. That’s the part that you and your anarchist friends don’t seem to get. Until the system is “dismantled” or “dies a natural death from its decrepitudes,” it will not permit any “independence” anywhere within its sphere of influence. It’s not that I don’t want the freedom and independence you advocate, it’s rather that we differ in the way we believe that that independence can ever be won. People will have to fight for it. Or they will never have it. Ask the people of the Great Lakes Regions in Africa. Ask the Syrians. Ask the survivors of the First Nations in North America. Ask the peasants in India who are even now being expropriated. It isn’t true that… Read more »
Waffling much?
Actually, not at all.
What part of my abridged comment leads you to think that I might be waffling and over what?
This bit …. ‘ themselves money and commodities are no more capital than are the means of production and of subsistence. They want transforming into capital. But this transformation itself can only take place under certain circumstances that centre in this, viz., that two very different kinds of commodity-possessors must come face to face and into contact; on the one hand, the owners of money, means of production, means of subsistence, who are eager to increase the sum of values they possess, by buying other people’s labour power; on the other hand, free labourers, the sellers of their own labour power, and therefore the sellers of labour. Free labourers, in the double sense that neither they themselves form part and parcel of the means of production, as in the case of slaves, bondsmen, &c., nor do the means of production belong to them, as in the case of peasant proprietors;… Read more »
Well, for a person like you, Chrisb, for whom it is usual to conflate contradictory notions together, I can see why you would select that part of my comment as an instance of my “waffling” which a) is a quote from what someone else wrote and b) is well beyond your ability to understand. And I can also understand why, to emphasize your point, you would again quote the entire “waffling” part of my comment, incorporating it in a comment of your own that apparently isn’t for all that now an instance of “waffling.”
That kinda makes my point about how you have a habit of conflating contradictions in either how you behave or what you say — doesn’t it?
He wasn’t waffling at all; he was providing a systemic analysis that cuts through the pro-capitalist obfuscation. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to hear it; the masses need to, and they will.
Nailed it.
Exaggerating much!
