You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

You keep forgetting the last part. "Drain the swamp... into the White House".

Very important, that last part.

I mean, I guess replacing the swamp with a sewer is still technically draining the swamp.

At least watergate was not an act of treason. This crapstorm makes nixon look like a boy scout by comparison.

The way things are going, Watergate might end up looking tame compared to some of the things that could come out in the next four years.

*Prays quietly Bannon is next*

Honestly, this Administration is a mess.
It's hard to believe anyone still supports Trump, and I hold out hope his popularity plumments and his supporters see what he really is. Then again, I have said that after every Trump scandal.
