Remember "The Swamp" that needed draining?

Looks like some parts sprung a leak.

I'm shocked! Where are the MAGA hats and deplorables?

Maybe they all went to Mar-a-Lago.


:ROTFL:

[steve...]

I'd like to see an Under New Ownership sign soon.

The Hotel may be empty but the Sun God is still number one and a full house with Republicans in Congress.

At 4am most hotels look like that. Still $581 and up on the Expedia app.

They can ask for whatever they want, Speedy. But there’s no more hay to be made by staying at a past President’s hotel.

Ask a certain Congresscritter who is staying at Mara Lago now.

The worst 'swamp' story is the fact that Trump signed an awesome EO limiting anyone who worked in his admin from lobbying in DC for 5 years - everyone applauded that one. He rescinded that EO in his last days in office. The news buried under the weight of pardons and impeachment talk.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...story.html

President Trump rescinded an executive order early Wednesday morning that had limited federal administration officials from lobbying the government or working for foreign countries after they leave their posts, undoing one of the few measures he had instituted to fulfill his 2016 campaign promise to “drain the swamp.”

Trump had signed the executive order with much fanfare in an Oval Office ceremony in January 2017.

“Most of the people standing behind me will not be able to go to work” after they leave government, Trump said at the time, flanked by senior aides.

The order required executive branch appointees to sign a pledge that they would never work as registered foreign lobbyists, and it banned them from lobbying the federal agencies where they worked for five years after leaving the government.

Could not the current President undo his predecessor's recission of the prior EO, thereby leaving the original one intact (and then he'd be able to point to the swamp-drain EO and say, "Look, I didn't undo ALL of his legacy!")
