So you voted for Trump because you wanted to 'drain the swamp'? December 21, 2016 3:58 pm RL

Fuck You…
Newt Gingrich Says Trump Has Given Up On ‘Draining The Swamp’

After campaigning on a promise to clean up Washington and rid it of special interests, Donald Trump has stacked his team with the likes of former Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin and ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson.

Now, just weeks before taking office, Trump has decided to sideline his pledge to “drain the swamp,” his ally Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

“I’m told he now just disclaims that,” Gingrich (R-Ga.) the former House speaker, told NPR’s “Morning Edition.” “He now says it was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore.”

Gingrich posted to Twitter this week what he described to NPR as “a very cute tweet” about the alligators in Washington. But someone ― Gingrich didn’t disclose who ― sent him a note saying they were tired of hearing such talk.

Any damn fool could see a year ago that he was going to loot the swamp and then fill it with sewage and toxic waste, you had to work pretty damn hard to be stupid enough to believe otherwise… congratulations!
