For context, Dick Cheney announced that he’ll be voting for Kamala Harris.

    Hah, it’s funny it has to come to this for people to understand that they may be voting for a system that they thought they were voting against.

    Trump isn’t even a politician, much less part of the shadow government(the swamp). Although Harris is part of this club, along with other big-name politicians, including the likes of Obama, Clinton, bush, Cheney, etc.

    Trump is an asshole, but at least he isn’t part of the dark elite trying to control our country (the world) from the shadows.

      Trump gave the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Miriam Adelson because she inherited a fortune and gave a bunch of that to Trump’s campaign. In case you don’t believe me, here’s her wikipedia page, there’s no other accomplishments of note to be found there.

      So I dunno what you mean by “shadowy government swamp”. But if trading taxpayer-funded awards for money isn’t part of it…shouldn’t it be?

      And as for Harris, she’s one of the few people in congress to actually invest in index funds to avoid conflicts of interest and insider trading in stock investing. She’s not above criticism, but she’s probably one of least swampy politiicans out there.

        Fair. I guess it just seems he is less likely.

          Swamp needs drama to manufacture consent. Trump is as much part of it as any of them. In fact, characters like him are routine actors. He is/was just a particularly charismatic one.
