Let’s start here:

Yeah... nah...

An opinion/hit piece by a "progressive" group trying to make a case for impeachment.

There is no "there" there.

I’ve got plenty of other people to roll through.

The point isn’t convictions... it’s swampy behavior from a group that was going to drain the swamp.

LOL swampy behavior? C'mon man, do you really think Trump was privy to whatever shady deals that his Interior Secretary was ALLEGEDLY involved in?

It was a political hit. The guy lost his job and no charges were filed.

Orange man bad.

He only appoints the “best” people... this isn’t orange man bad. It’s if it’s a Republican they don’t ACTUALLY do wrong. It’s all a hit job. They have you good and brainwashed.

Don't be a victim of the 24hr news cycle where they say, "This person did something!"

Only problem is that the person did nothing... but that doesn't matter because the seed has been planted. Next week they will move on to another fabricated crisis.

Nine months later, some guy is debating on the internet and he throws out the name of the accused as an example of "swampy behavior".

The only problem is that none of his alleged "swampy behavior" was EVER PROVEN.

Hearsay and speculation are not facts.

He went parading around in a private jet for personal use on taxpayer money. That’s swampy and Easy to prove.

Unethical or swampy behavior doesn’t require criminal charges. Drain the swamp didn’t mean that. By your standard there’s nothing to drain and never was.

What... you mean the standard of the law?

You can't just run around making accusations willy nilly because you don't like someone's affiliation.

The administration specifically... only 1 official was charged in 8 years. And I believe that was after 1/20/17. Endless investigations though by folks trying hard to find something.

Alright, ya got me kid. I took the wrong tack and you beat me to the corner.

So here's what I propose...

Compile your list of swampy shit from the Trump admin, and then I'll throw down a list of swampy shit from the Obama admin.

We can then debate the merits of each other's list until we find out who the swampiest of the swampy critters really is.

You game?
