An Administration of Jerks

The Grievance Presidency

After a break of four eventful months, Decency Lost returns for Season four.  What happens when ego replaces strategy and grievance replaces governance? This episode examines how King Buffoon dismantled the Iran Nuclear Deal, ignited a global oil crisis, and left Americans paying the price through inflation and instability.  Then we turn to the 1.8 billion dollar "grievance" fund and ask whether government by loyalty, grievance, and no oversight can survive. What happens when accountability is treated as weakness?

The Obscenity of a Billion

What does a billion actually mean? Not in theory - in time, in scale, in power. We break down the raw math of extreme wealth and asks whether our democracy can survive its existence.  From Epstein to Bezos, the concentration of power of the billionaire class adds to the mix of why decency has lost.

When Federal Agents Come to Town

A federal agent kills a citizen, and the feds close ranks. This episode examines how secrecy, Federal force, and the e normalization of unaccountable power are eroding trust in America. When legitimacy disappears, authority fills the gap - and a country that accepts that trade begins to lose itself.
