Quick
question,
what
do
you
get
when
you
drain
the
swamp
and
don’t
replace
it
with
anything
of
value?
Answer:
[Insert
Here].
Trump
has
maintained
a
tradition
of
putting
people
who
blank
out
when
it
comes
to
answering
basic
questions
about
the
Constitution
in
power.
His
last
Supreme
Court
justice
pick
made
headlines
for
not
recalling
the
right
to
protest:
This
term,
Trump’s
Fox
&
Friends
fighting
fanatic
pick
for
Secretary
of
Defense
Pete
Hegseth
was
asked
to
cite
the
part
of
the
Constitution
that
allows
the
President
to
flood
a
state
with
the
National
Guard
without
the
governor’s
consent
and
he
came
up
goose
egg:
As
shameful
as
it
is
for
a
Supreme
Court
judge
to
forget
about
the
right
to
protest
or
for
the
Secretary
of
Defense
to
not
know
the
conditions
for
deploying
troops,
things
happen.
Public
speaking
is
scary
enough
before
you
factor
in
the
flashing
lights
and
high-profile
questioning.
Given
some
time
and
the
opportunity
to
write
things
down,
surely
Trump’s
people
would
do
a
better
job
of
justifying
their
bullshit:
Oh.
Is
Trump’s
legal
team
three
undergrads
in
a
trench
coat?
ChatGPT
would
have
at
least
made
the
attempt
to
hallucinate
something
under
the
table
of
authorities.
And
to
make
matters
worse,
their
table
of
contents
somehow
has
less
in
it.
Run
on
anti-intellectualist
rhetoric
and
kick
out/force
all
of
the
competent
lawyers
to
resign,
and
this
is
what
you
get.
