I'd like to point out to our "MAGA" friends that when "The Donald" said he was going to drain the...

....swamp, he meant that he was going to get rid of or marginalize the very kind of people that were on stage today. When Joe Biden introduced the first part of his new team, he showed us smart, dedicated career professionals who have worked in the past to serve their country. Most, if not all of them spoke of their love for this country and hopes for the future. I'd like to tell the "Tea Party version 2.0" idiots, with their revolutionary war get-ups and three cornered hats, that this is what a patriot looks like.

1. And Republicans, being Republicans

Rubio has announced that he intends to begin the obstructionism with Biden's nominees. They intend a scorched earth policy, and they won't care who it hurts if they perceive that it will make Biden look bad.

2. I had a different view. The MAGATs were the swamp people

And when he drain the swamp, he let loose the monsters that inhabited the swamp. Monsters who couldn't think for themselves and thrive on the blood of others. Maybe I've been watching too many B-rated science fiction movies.

3. Yup, replacing real professionals with ass kissing loyalists was his plan.

4. He could only replace so many of them and this is where the "deep state" fever dream came from.

5. Draining the swamp???

As I told my late wife when the tangerine marshmallow announced his cabinet, you can never drain a swamp by filling it with alligators.
