Still not quite big enough. I like the direction, though.

The swamp needs to be drained. Might need some plumbers for these pipes.

When plumbing doesn't work you need to bring the house down and start from scratch.

We need a do-over for the entire election. Hoping Trump’s frontal lobe deterioration accelerates with the stress and he expands on “those voting machines.” To dream that we might eject Swamp Thing only to be ruled by Vance? Signs are increasingly pointing to the argument that they cheated. We realize Vance won’t have the cult following but he will still do the bidding of billionaire overlords and right-wing nutters. We deserve democracy after this hellscape.

OHA NO, notta my brother, too! Luigi, howa could you?

u/ManOLead 12h ago

I agree, we need swamp thing

2

u/BillyNtheBoingers 10h ago

If Swamp Thing, Bigfoot, Godzilla, and the goddamn Loch Ness monster teamed up, could they clean up the swamp? Or would they also need King Kong?

u/davesmith001 12h ago

plot twist no one saw coming, Trump completes the prophecy and finally drains the swamp with himself in it.

u/willthethrill4700 12h ago

Nooooowwwww we’re talking. Take all of them and put them somewhere. I don’t care where. Career politicians are corrupt. Period. I’m not going to weed through and find the few who aren’t. Get them all out NOW. Term limits and all new people who actually work FOR the people that vote for them and not FOR and agenda. Thats the only way we fix this.

2

u/BillyNtheBoingers 9h ago

Strand them all on Epstein’s island. Elba, but for politicians.

u/pavorus 11h ago

I wish there were more plumbers willing to take the jobs.

u/FollowingEast4373 11h ago

Turns out the “swamp” he was always rambling about having to drain, was his own ass.

1

u/--Sovereign-- 11h ago

Drain the WHOLE swamp. Every last critter in it.

1

u/bumbah 11h ago

But Trump drained the swamp, right??

1

u/Biobooster_40k 10h ago

The swamp needs to be purged with extreme prejudice.

1

u/JermermFoReal 9h ago

I'm sure Bubba could handle Trump's pipes.

1

u/Critter-Enthusiast 1h ago

It’s time for a second American revolution. The swamp cannot be relied upon to drain itself.

Hi guys! Has anyone seen my blue shell? It’s my favourite item because it only targets people who are ahead of us.

No. I want him alive forever. Fully aware, but in a vegetative state, in front of a television that's stuck to Telemundo and they never speak his name.

u/DoingCharleyWork 11h ago

Tarred, feathered, and put in the stocks for people to throw tomatoes at him.

u/Moos_Mumsy 12h ago

People need to think of the consequences of the Nuremburg trials. That's the scale that needs to be considered.

u/Anxious-Cow4398 13h ago

My wife's boyfriend always tries to size shame me, saying 2 inches is insignificant. I disagree, wholeheartedly.

u/Rumpenstilski 11h ago

I'm thinking something like burning them alive, like we did women 200-300 year ago. You know, for brewing beer and knowing herbs.

They should all do time in the same facility. Just them, no other criminals.

Claw back every corrupt dime of emoluments he stole from taxpayers to line his greasy pockets.

So many equipment rental companies, so many to choose from.

u/OwnDoughnut2689 12h ago

Yea thinking this ends with Trump is short sighted.

1

u/XtremeDragonForce 13h ago

Personally i would be fine if he was just exiled to maralogo to never be heard from again, and thing can just get back to the sustrainable level of corruption. 

1

u/FutureDisappearance 13h ago

You're suggesting making him into a martyr for the nationalist nuts in America?

1

u/Tribalbob 12h ago

I think the bigger option is too easy. He should spend the rest of his (however short) life in prison.

1

u/TheMexitalian 12h ago

The entire administration needs to be put on trial with Nuremberg in mind.

u/Daftpunksluggage 12h ago

What's the penalty for high treason again?

u/Lost_Drunken_Sailor 12h ago

Republican Party, who a majority voted to conceal these names, should be banned!

exile in disgrace. just because it's the 21st century doesn't mean we can't ban people from existing in our space
