The dumbest guy in the room might not be Prezident Kozyr, but some will get rich from the 2016 election and others will die in the worst version of competitive reality-TV programming. So why not as I will, refer to him as “President Baldwin” for the duration, since if for no other reason will annoy his thin-skinned nature.
In 2017’s version with TrUmp-Putin, the Russians get a marvelous parting gift of anywhere around 100 Billion dollars from lifting sanctions. And then to have the moment get disclaimed (more fake news?) even as it could really be what seems to be a continuing pattern of Trump -Team incompetence because the new diplomacy as a strategy of tension is founded on reality-TV narratives.
And the US economy will tank again, perhaps with the global economy, only to be saved by another round of capitalist predation, and they will call it a correction in the “business cycle”.
All in the service of self-dealing profit, and Prezident Kozyr is Putin’s dupe
Where Barnum hawked The Art of Money Getting, Donald Trump hawked The Art of the Deal. And Trump has proven as adept as were Barnum and Hamilton when it comes to getting free media attention. Trump has also been equally ready to put forth a lie when the truth does not do as well.
Triangulation failed the Democratic Party, and it should be subordinated to actual rather than estimable political action.
What then for the future?
Leftists must remake the Democratic Party, from the grassroots up, in order to combat the juggernaut of capital, warfare, and racism wracking the country… Only when the Democratic Party stands for estimable political action — and it’s a long shot, given the entrenched decadence of American political corruption — can calling oneself “the democratic wing of the Democratic Party” constitute something of which anyone can be proud.
More doing – less blogging.
In the worst case, we could have a nation of Hoovervilles, scorched earth to build even more 1% wealth … again and after the next Recession/Depression … what will be normalized as a “business cycle”
What that means is killing Obamacare, privatizing whatever government-provided healthcare programs—like the VA's—they can get their hands on and doing away with all the regulations. Particularly the ones that give us clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. You know, the ones that prevent the Kochs from totally maximizing their profits. The people who matter, after all, can afford to buy their own oxygen and bottled water. Oh, yeah, tax cuts, too: "real tax reform that lowers rates, eliminates loopholes, simplifies the code for everyone, and protects consumers from new tax increases."
