This is a piece I’d sketched out earlier but originally tossed for being too complex, too obscure an issue… but then, a couple of weeks ago I was reading about how BRICS was strengthening, “de-dollarization” was spreading, how the spread of de-dollarization was starting to get people shook on the Hill and how this means the issue might finally break out into public media, and about how the BRICS countries were contemplating creating an alternate reserve currency and  — and suddenly, that goofy-ass dollar-bill parody gag was starting to look pretty good…

Personally, I got some serious giggles about the way he went about snagging the documents and storing them — like, in the ballroom. Forgetting for a moment that that room already looks like the set of an old Hercules movie — the goddamn ballroom, f’crissake. It looked like the scene after Ferdinand Marcos was deposed from power and he and Imelda were racing around their place trying to shred all their incriminating secret documents before they fled the country — boxes of documents stacked, open and strewn all over, garbage bags full of shredded documents, jammed shredders abandoned all over the place, real amateur-hour shit.

If the Donmonster had any class at all, he’d have just hired an interior decorator to help him hide that stuff in plain sight.

And so, yet another Debt Ceiling Wrestlemania comes to a close — and as predicted, the ruling class gets the payoff, Zelensky gets new toys, and we get austerity.
