      Well, I guess I forgot all about that.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I had no idea the Swamp was 1 man. I thought it was much larger and deeper. Good to know.

            No, but that’s what Trump was claiming. That he did drain the swamp by replacing Comey with Wray.

            Wray makes me look back on Comey favorably…

              He's probably just as weasel-ey, but I don't (yet) think he's as partisan.

                @George-K Then he has little effective control over the organization he runs.

                  Not sure if that's a "half-empty" or "half-full" kind of thing.

                    I think it’s fair to say that Trump is a diaper’s half-full kinda guy.

                    Or is that half-empty?

                    I was only joking

                      He doesn't run it; it's way too big.

                      I've told the story in here before about how Eisenhower on his first day as president, entered the Oval Office with his aides, went around and sat at the desk, rested his hand on the phone and said, "Here I sit, the duly-elected leader of the free world. I can use this phone to call anyone in Washington -- and nothing will happen."

                      Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

                        In Truman’s last days he said the same thing - about Eisenhower. Something like ‘he’s going to come in here, give a bunch of people orders, and nothings going to happen’.
