The Swamp uses different terms and phrases to deceive and confuse the public. The Glossary is designed to expose their tricks.

Am I wrong?


This is oozing with glossary terms. If you want to know how the Swamp tries to deceive conservatives into thinking their big government budget is good, this is Exhibit A. Thankfully, real conservatives can see right through it.

We have one job to do down here at the Capitol. Pass a real budget. Not a fake budget for optics and talking points that will be guutted by a line item veto pen, but a real budget that has a consensus of conservative republicans and gets a signature. I am proud of my caucus for…

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be serving the people of Texas and House District 65 on the Criminal Jurisprudence and Transportation Committees in the Texas House. These committees are going to hear important legislation that will impact every Texan. Let’s get to work.

With one simple picture, TX State Rep. @brianeharrison just showed the world that committees are the very definition of the Swamp Glossary term “hamster wheel”.

I turned in my committee preference card today to Speaker @Burrows4TX.

From Punchbowl: And while Main Street [Caucus] is known as more of a serious governing group of members on the Hill, the group’s leadership said it eschews any association with the idea of being centrist. “We are not a moderate or middle-of-the-road swing district group,” Bice…

Main Street Caucus Republicans are cozying up to President-elect Donald Trump, as the 80-member group seeks to expand their influence this Congress. @MicaSoellnerDC & @MZanona with more: punchbowl.news/article/house/…



Bingo. The formal entry in the Swamp Glossary is similar - "Return on Investment".

“Invest (ing)” -verb - common vernacular amongst Democrats denoting your tax dollars being wasted for schemes that don’t benefit you… like subsidizing modern art in Philly while you struggle to afford your heating and grocery bills. #priorities

It's called the Capitol Hill Club.

The Swamp ain't just in DC, folks. It's in Phoenix, too! Kudos to @RJ4arizona for spreading the word.

To get everyone in the mood for the upcoming session I’m going to put out a word or phrase of the day, every day, to make sure we’re all up to speed on swamp terminology. First phrase is:

Hamster Wheel (n.) - A pointless assignment given to conservatives by Leadership in order to distract them or buy time.

South Carolina is leading the way with AI! Chairman @JeffBradleyhhi and the AI Committee are partnering with Google to declutter outdated regulations, setting an example for the nation. Exciting progress for innovation and efficiency! 👇 pluribusnews.com/news-and-event…



"Todd Young is a serious legislator" is a Swamp Glossary term that is meant to imply that his opinions far outweigh the opinions of "non-serious legislators" (Read: Conservatives).

Cornyn goes full glossary by trying to explain why Trump shouldn't use his constitutionally-allowed recess appointment authority.

Cornyn on the prospect of Trump recess appointing Gaetz. "I don't think we should be circumventing the Senate's responsibilities. But I think it's premature to be talking about it." Lankford said he wouldn't favor that approach. Rick Scott is on board.



Good read here. @DissidentClint has an eagle eye for spotting Swamp tactics, fueled by the glossary. "Weaken the leader" is a perfect example.

🧵The inside story of the Senate Leadership Election that MAY change the course of the nation. Most following this know by now that Thune won 29-24 on the second ballot. But, how did that happen? Many of my followers wanted Scott. But, we got historic wins here.



Fixed it. "The New Swamp Team".

He probably said this while sipping a martini in the Capitol Hill Club grill room.

Asked for his reaction to the Gaetz nom, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho): "Are you shittin' me?"



This post is oozing with oily glossary grease.

We need members who can govern. NOT disrupters. Not instigators. Not constant complainers. We have been given a mandate to govern. Not create chaos.
