Trump campaigned on an anti-establishment drain-the-swamp no-more-corruption platform.
We should have a good idea what to expect from Trump in the choices he makes to staff his administration.
Prior presidents for decades have appointed the usual suspects that keep the corruption gravy-train on track.
They have particularly appointed members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission (TC) to key important posts. I'm not advocating any conspiracy theories but merely pointing out the organizations from which administrations are usually staffed. These folks should not even be under consideration, unless we have been deceived by Donald Trump.
Trump has also championed reform of Rule of Law.
However, even more often he has spouted off in support of "law and order".
They are NOT the same thing...
"Law and order" is what the Nazis and Soviets had, and what North Korea still has...and what we increasingly suffer under.
Rule of Law is an infrastructure that forms the bedrock of any society worthy of existence.
Rule of Law means the wealthy and powerful are held accountable as is everyone, while "law and order" means the rabble are indicted, convicted and punished without benefit of the sort of mercy or hall pass accorded the likes of Jon Corzine or Bill and Hillary Clinton.
True Rule of Law preserves the Bill of Rights, just as a corrupt judicial system has operated to diminish due process of law and the Bill of Rights.
The War on *some* drugs is and has been the primary driver of corruption of courts, judges and prosecutors, and corrupted and militarized our police officers.
Will Trump insist on a re-examination of failed drug policy?
Will Trump muzzle and leash the DEA in regard to decisions made regarding cannabis RE-legalization in the various states?
In fact, the DEA is a government agency without Constitutional authority to even exist (where is the Constitutional Amendment allowing governmental action in regard to drugs...or the flora the people may choose to cultivate?) and therefore should be decommissioned via executive order.
Draining the swamp is a tall order...and absolutely essential to restore liberty and Rule of Law.
Trump freely took these responsibilities as his platform.
Citizen pressure should be applied ceaselessly in order to support President Trump in carrying out these critical tasks...as behind-the-scenes efforts to thwart them will surely be attempted.
