Qualities that characterise the current U.S. administration: * cruelty/violence * corruption/collusion * defensiveness * destructiveness * hubris/pride * ignorance * impatience * incompetence * miserliness * racism/sexism etc. * restrictiveness It is odd to me that there is no honest effort to counterbalance any of this. All their shows of supposed beneficence are just veiled collusion or stingy coin drops (e.g. $90 checks to seniors). It is like governance by pre-awakening Ebenezer Scrooge.
