Kleptocrats and Oligarchs Beware!

Not a New Year’s prediction, but looking at the rays of hope that could re-energize us all.

Four years after Joe Biden concluded his tenure as Vice President of the United States, as U.S. President he encounters a very different world.

In 2020, the Republicans are in the process of transforming themselves into the U.S. equivalent of Putin’s United Russia Party.

One of the toughest decisions that Joe Biden will have to make as President is whether to authorize the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute Donald Trump for obstructing justice.

That Democrats only defeated Donald Trump by so narrow a margin suggests that they need to re-think their political strategy big time.

“Nothin’ could be finer” than to see Georgia flip yet again.

Will the 45th U.S. President live out his remaining years in a comfortable palace, surrounded by fawning courtiers who pledge obedience to him as their rightful leader?

An overly lengthy transition period can be highly destabilizing even in the U.S. — a nation that deems itself a mature democracy.

U.S. political campaigns are one vast, sprawling political slush fund, designed to create a money-based web of post-election dependencies that is vast and largely impenetrable.
