I mean, the argument from idiots will be that they're pleading guilty because the deep state will disappear them or some crazy bullshit.

Trying to use logic to argue with those people is like playing chess against a ~~pidgin~~pigeon. They'll knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, then strut around like they won.

I thought that Trump drained the swamp so that they couldn't do stuff like this?

So, I've never liked that phrase. What happens when you drain a swamp? You remove all the stagnant water and dead-zones. But what is left behind? He said he would drain the swamp, not remove the scum.

This is what I really don't get, what did he do while in power for 4 years? Surely if he was voted there to drain the swamp and then didn't, it makes him in ineffectual leader, so why vote for him again? Get someone else in to drain the swamp and this time do it right.

He drained it so he could fill it with his own swamp.
