Drain the swamp?  :pondering:

How does this impact:  Strozok, Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller, Obama, Clinton, Bush, Page, Yates, Brennan, Clapper, Kerry, the media serving as an arm of the Democats .... et al? 

Want to keep congress honest?  Pass term limits.  Want to keep foreign money out of politics, enforce the laws on the books. Want to uproot the deep state ... end security clearances concurrent with employment and appoint a second special counsel to put their asses in front of a grand jury and not behind it.

We desperately need term limits but I don't see a path to getting that passed.  Unfortunately, the people who vote on it want to coast along forever.

The only terms limits possible right now are voting out the useless despicable ones.
Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.

NO! We don't!

We desperately need an electorate willing to supervise their employees!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Need to qualify what electorate.  Legal citizens, educated or smart or rational.  That there alone should only leave a handful.
