The Swamp Drainers Who Aren’t Draining Anything
When you’re on a mission to “drain the swamp,” the first step should be to avoid appointing swamp creatures. Enter Peter Thiel’s protégé, J.D. Vance, as vice president and the consideration of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon for a top role. It’s like throwing a pool party and inviting sharks—you’re bound to lose more than just a limb.
So, why didn’t the get drained the first time around? It’s a classic case of hope triumphing over experience, much like my father’s cynical view on multiple marriages. It seems that political hope, just like romantic hope, often ignores the glaring red flags.
The Irony of J.D. Vance: From Hillbilly Elegy to Political Tragedy
J.D. Vance, author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” was once the poster child for the American dream. But his transition from bestselling author to political figure is less inspiring and more a lesson in irony. Thiel’s golden boy, now vice president, represents the very establishment he once criticized. Instead of challenging the status quo, Vance seems poised to uphold it, ensuring the swamp remains as murky as ever.

Jamie Dimon: The Banker Who Could Save Us All?
Let’s consider Jamie Dimon, the JPMorgan CEO, for a top government role. It’s like appointing a fox to guard the henhouse. Dimon, a man who knows his way around Wall Street better than most, is now seen as a potential savior for the political swamp. But can a man who thrives in the murky waters of big finance really lead a crusade to clean up Washington?
The First Attempt: A Study in Futility
The first round of swamp draining didn’t quite pan out. It was less a cleanup and more a case of musical chairs, with different swamp creatures taking turns in positions of power. The lesson? Draining the swamp is easier said than done, especially when the ones holding the drain plug are the ones benefiting from the swamp.
Hope Over Experience: The Political Marriage
My father’s wisdom about multiple marriages being a triumph of hope over experience rings true here. The political landscape is littered with the remains of hopeful initiatives that failed to account for the gritty reality of entrenched interests. The idea of draining the swamp, much like the idea of a perfect marriage, is alluring but often unrealistic.
Conclusion: The Fantasy Continues
In the end, the promise of draining the swamp remains a powerful political slogan, but its execution is fraught with contradictions and challenges. Appointing insiders like Vance and considering finance giants like Dimon suggests that the swamp isn’t going anywhere. It’s a perpetual fantasy, one that keeps voters hopeful but seldom delivers real change. So, we’re left with the same murky waters, the same political marriages, and the same unfulfilled promises. But hey, there’s always hope, right?
