The lemmings were running hard towards the cliffs yesterday. Despite a renewed burst of bombs and drones careening into the already rubble-strewn wastelands of Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

Or the outbreak of cold war style nuclear brinksmanship on the Korean peninsula \u2014 what one commentator properly called a Cuban missile crisis in slow motion.<\/p>\n

Likewise, forget that the vacationing Congress is set to return on April 25 to an endless sequence of shoutdowns, showdowns and shutdowns on continuing resolutions and debt ceiling increases.<\/p>\n

That is, it will be struggling to keep the fiscal lights on in the Imperial City, not enacting the Donald\u2019s DBA (dead before arrival) fantasy about making the American economy great again.<\/p>\n

Indeed, while the Donald has been out huffing and puffing in his new role as global Spanker-in-Chief, the domestic front has turned from bad to worse. His economic policy machinery has now been seized entirely by the Vampire Squid\u2019s latest chieftains in the White House \u2014 Gary Cohn, Steve Mnuchin and Jared Kushner.<\/p>\n
