The Swamp:
Creeps Crawling in the District of Corruption
Introduction:
This tongue-in-cheek graphic pictorial of memes chronicles the scary and scurrilous
missteps and machinations of Donald Trump's White House. The creeps that crawl through
the political muck and mire known as 'official' Washington comprise a hodge-podge of
cronies, misfits and bottom-feeders identified by The Donald as the America's crème de la
crème from politics, business and industry.
The Commander-In-Thief and his slimy, immoral cohorts are depicted slithering from one
controversy to the next, an unending series of scandals and salacious scenarios that are
destroying traditional standards of public civility and discourse, and threatening the rule of
law as the linchpin of liberal democracy.
Though presented as sardonic humor, The Swamp reveals compelling truths about The
Donald and the corrupt cast of characters he has assembled around him, including
Republican lawmakers abdicating their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution, who are
usurping the people's authority and arguably subjugating Democracy in favor of
Authoritarianism.
This book is dedicated to ALL AMERICANS who have dedicated themselves to Democracy
and to my fellow Baltimoreans who have been undeservedly blasphemed by The Donald.
You might laugh...until you cry. E Pluribus Unum!
Very special thanks to my wife, Yvonne, whose love and loyalty, friendship, faith and fidelity,
has sustained me and without whom this book would not have been possible. I love you with my
all!

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR UNITY -- HON. JERROLD NADLER (Extension of
Remarks - February 23, 1994)
[Page: E234]

HON. JERROLD NADLER
in the House of Representatives
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1994
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform my colleagues of the
outstanding work of an organization in my congressional district which is working
to heal the rifts which have for too long divided our city and our Nation along
racial and ethnic lines. The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, an organization
of concerned citizens, is working to promote understanding and peace between
the diverse communities that make up the greatest and most vibrant of cities in
the world.
They have chosen as their emblem the GOLDEN OpportUNITY FOR UNITY
universal harmony insignia created by Artist-in-Residence Regi Taylor .
The foundation president, Rabbi Marc Schneier, has called the GOLDEN
opportUNITY for UNITY an artistic expression which exemplifies a very profound
social ideal. Rabbi Schneier has observed that:
Regi has, in this work, captured the spirit of mutual ethnic understanding,
respect and cooperation which is at the foundation's philosophical core. I believe
we can reach multitudes with the insignia's message, encouraging positive racial
dialog on a large scale.
Regi Taylor's vision is equally forward looking, and his work demonstrates the
power of artistic expression to affect people deeply and truly change the world.
Mr. Speaker, sometimes it seems that mistrust, a failure to communicate, and
fear combine to fuel the fires of hatred in our Nation and around the world. We
need potent and profound reminders that our strength lies in our diversity and
our ability to build on the combined strengths of many traditions. We are
Americans, not so much because of where we are from, but because of what we
have done here together to build this Nation. Each of us has a part. As we face
the challenges that lie ahead, we are going to need the talents and abilities of
everyone.
Mr. Speaker, I am proud that in the city of New York, neighbors are working
together for a better day. They are using the power of artistic expression and the
moral leadership of example to bring about the kind of change we will need if
this Nation is to survive. I am pleased to commend their efforts to my
colleagues.

TRIBUTE TO REGI TAYLOR -- HON. NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ (Extension of Remarks
- April 14, 1994)

HON. NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ
in the House of Representatives
THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1994
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to pay special tribute to the
work of one of this Nation's great citizens, Mr. Regi Taylor . An individual whose social
conscience and devoted community service make him a true role model for people
throughout this country.
In recognizing Mr. Taylor's work, we must make special mention of his artistic abilities
and the wonderful message of peace, love, and unity that he has so masterfully conveyed
through his design of the official symbol of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding. At
a time when our cities are plagued with violence and fear, it is our responsibility as
leaders to recognize and foster the spread of such messages. I cannot emphasize enough
the importance of promoting cultural diversity and awareness. Ours is a country based on
the rich traditions of innumerable cultures--a country filled with individuals whose
backgrounds encompass the globe. Mr. Taylor's participation in the activities of the
Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, illustrates his commitment to a doctrine of
diversity and cultural wealth realization--pushing us to act in unison for a better
tomorrow.
Mr. Taylor's and the Foundation's efforts for the improvement of New York City's
community surroundings have been recognized and appreciated by all who have
benefited from their time and service. Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in
recognizing their service to this country as a whole. From the 103rd Congress, and on
behalf of the American people we thank Mr. Regi Taylor and the Foundation for Ethnic
Understanding for their work and wish them continued success.
