Drain the Swamp

Definition

The systematic process of firing rule-following, non-partisan career civil servants and immediately replacing them with billionaire tech donors, oil executives, crypto-sycophants, and personal golf buddies. By clearing out the boring, ethics-obsessed bureaucrats who care about things like "the law" or "conflict of interest," we can fill the vacuum with high-quality, premium, loyalist alligators who know how to appreciate a gilded lobby and a multi-million-dollar Super PAC donation.
