Impulse Power

I think it's official. The United States is not only open for business and up for sale but there is no level of corruption or criminality that is a problem. More studious observers have known about this already. Previously a show of respect for standards and the pretense of resisting corruption and conflicts of interest were the norm.

The new norm is Jared Kushner, an incompetent rich kid in the great playground of life. Playgrounds are fenced off, remember. This is the change we have been warned about, where generational wealth will control everything and the world will be ruled by the whims and impulses of playboys, degenerates and clueless children.

Kushner's new homie is a Saudi prince who had a guy killed who pissed him off. No matter. Everything is cool. The national interest, meaning the personal benefit of Kushner and Mnuchin, was protected. There's a tribal war going on between their clans, Arabs and Jews, but money trumps everything when you come right down to it.
