The first two congressmen to endorse Trump early in 2016 were:
Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.).
Collins is due to be sentenced next month for securities fraud. Hunter pleaded guilty last week to misusing campaign funds (he spent a quarter of a million on himself and his mistresses).
Are these developments a triumph for Trump's swamp draining? Nope. Trump actually objected when Collins was charged in August 2018, complaining it cast HIM in a bad light just before the midterms.
To say that Trump is draining the swamp is laughable. That's nothing but dummy bait from years ago.
I think the main issue is the education system has been hijacked by leftist teachers and professors. They have cranked out a bunch of leftist "journalist" that really aren't much more that propagandist and extension of the DNC. We have now developed a two tiered legal system where people like Joe and Hillary can expect the help of a corrupt media. The hearings today show how corrupt the FBI has become.
Still wrong. Biden was offered the job because he had the degree necessary and was an experienced lobbyist. It did not hurt that his dad was the VP. But what is the crime? Do you know how many politicians kids are making bank off their dad's office? Are those crimes?

I never buy these things. Oh I'm this, from here, and even I believe _____________. It's an often-used ploy on political boards to gain credence. You might as well leave that out as it just adds suspicion. We never get many newbies here since this place is turning into a sewer. They allow sock accounts so about 85% of the time a newbie is just some boorish individual trying out a new persona to troll or try to hide the fact they were banned. If this stuff you said were truer you probably wouldn't be just parroting the usual nonsense built on propaganda. It's a lot more of the same heard all the time. Don't tell me you're in another country just reading America's sensationalist gutter news sites.
That rule only works if it's against another poster.

It's always nice to have a little sense restored to this place. I've been here only a bit longer than you. This place has been getting bad enough that I gave my original Jade Dragon account a vacation. With this newer account, I've dropped some of my standards in response to this place.
Way to go, JD...oops, Croc!

Nope. It's being drained, sorry. But by all means keep cheering for the swamp.

Yeah, that's a very good point, FL. Your (American) colleges/universities have, tragically, been grievously damaged by leftist academics who have been indoctrinated (during their own college education) with Postmodernist philosophical theory. They have, over the past 40 years (technically US tertiary education was officially infected with the Postmodern sickness in 1968, when the work of Jacques Derrida, a French Postmodernist (deconstructionist) philosopher arrived at the English Department of Yale, from there it spread like wildfire), successfully applied it to transform the content of the non-STEM curriculum, i.e; the traditional humanities/liberal arts subjects like English Literature, History, Politics, English language, social science/s, etc; into worthless, neo-Marxist ideological drivel. The Postmodern movement in the academy has also spawned a crop of bumph courses like: Women's Studies, Feminist Studies; Reggae Music; neo-Colonialism; Black Studies; Social Justice studies; LGBTIQ Studies and so on. Needless to say students graduating with degrees in these fields soon find that that they are unemployable as they have no skills of the kind the job market require.
Politicians in the US very often have an educational background in law and/or the liberal arts, likewise, senior bureaucrats/administrators who work in the CIA, DOJ, FBI, PENTAGON, the STATE DEPARTMENT, and also journalists who work for the mass media etc; are unlikely to people who were educated in any STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields like Medicine, Chemical engineering, Genetics, Quantum Mechanics, Evolutionary Biology and the like, when they were at college. If you were to conduct a survey of the educational backgrounds of Democratic Party Congressmen/women, I don't think you would find many at all with science, engineering or math degrees, in particular among the new generation of lawmakers and leading members of the party.
Fortunately, Postmodern theory "doesn't work", on STEM subjects, because they deal with matters of objective, empirical fact/reality and are therefore immune from the influence of subjective, politicised left-wing, worldview of the Postmodern academy. Some postmodern academic have tried to impose their "philosophy" on the sciences, but with little success. (One Postmodern female professor, for example, published a paper in the academic literature which included such claims as
1) the inductive scientific method was derived bySir Francis Bacon as a result of his toxic male sexuality ( his "deviant desire to deeply probe all of the nooks, crannies and dark holes of nature"; (2) subatomic particles like electrons and quarks were, in fact, feminist constructs and (3) that the nature of Sir Isaac Newton's mechanical theory exposed the fact that he was an imperialist, male chauvinist and misogynist. The reaction to this nonsense from the mainstream scientific community was rapid and when the critical "machine-gun smoke" had cleared the postmodern "scientist" was nowhere to be found. The same cannot be said for the humanities/liberal arts/legal/political/social science curriculum which have been strongly influenced by Postmodern educational theory since the 1980's. Thus, many Democrat politicians in the House and a large number of Federal government bureaucrats who are senior administrators in the CIA or DOJ , etc; have been exposed to Postmodern ideology during their youth at college.Postmodernism is an innately politicised philosophy, it is largely a well-disguised form of neo-Marxism that is extremely critical of: the traditional Western Patriarchy, Western institutions and values, Christian morality, the social manners and mores of the West's Anglo-sphere, free markets and Western capitalism. The stated objective of Postmodern philosophical theory is to DESTROY all of these things.
I think that Postmodernism explains the radicalization we have seen in the Democratic party

Agreed! Thanks, things are great for me. I hope you are doing well also.
Tell me about it. I got temporarily banned for calling someone a buttrumper. Meaning they had to blame Trump even in threads that had nothing to do with him. The sky is blue..... buttrump!
