So after a torrent of campaign verbiage excoriating Goldman Sachs, the
Despot named Steven Mnuchin -- a 17-year Goldman Sachs bankster -- as Secretary of the Treasury. Dracula, meet blood bank.
The other cabinet picks range from the merely frightful, to a number of creatures so appalling that not even invading lizard aliens would deign to use them as proxy quislings.
The disintegrating American empire continues to reproduce the worst aspects of the Soviet collapse with absolutely none of the latter's anticolonial silver linings. Since 1991, the former Eastern bloc nations have produced some of the finest videogames, fantasy novels, and citizen journalism in the world: CD Projekt Red, Andrej Sapkowski, the OCCRP, etc.
Not America. We went from Dubya's Iraqicide, that catastrophic attempt to turn the geopolitical clock back to 1898, to Premier Obamachev's bailout of the banksters without any fundamental reform of anything at all. True, we did have Occupy - but then Eastern Europe had Euromaidan.
Gravity will now reassert itself over the smoking wreckage of this once mighty empire.
