There
is treason in the treasury, nepotism in the government, and
corruption everywhere – it may be a new year, but it’s the same sad
story for the US! This week Sarah and Andrea discuss the cabinet
shakeups that have left our government in the hands of a criminal
syndicate bound by blood, marriage, and guilt; the retirement of
James Mattis and what it means for US foreign policy, especially in
Russia and Ukraine; the
explosive Buzzfeed
expose on how the
Treasury was compromised by the Kremlin in 2015 with the help of
complicit American employees, and how whistleblowers were the only
people punished; the disturbing background of the Secretary of the
Treasury Steve Mnuchin and his ties to international kleptocrats;
and the strange spy saga of Paul Whelan.
We
discuss 2020 presidential contenders, and Andrea comes out early
with her 2020 pick – but we both endorse one thing, and that is
impeachment! Welcome back to Gaslit Nation – the podcast where
women don’t have to be likeable at all!
