Trump's Fed chair pick named in Epstein files just hours after his nomination

Barely a few hours after President Donald Trump named him as the next nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh was revealed to be in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files.

According to The New Republic, "Warsh’s name appears to be on an emailed list of guests to 'St. Barth’s Christmas 2010,' among others such as Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and disgraced director Brett Ratner. Warsh also appears on a list of people attending a dinner hosted by British aristocrat William Astor."

…

"Warsh has always been involved in monetary policy, having been appointed to the Fed in 2006. But his inclusion in the Epstein files is actually not surprising, considering that his wife is billionaire heiress Jane Lauder, granddaughter of Estée Lauder and daughter of Republican donor Ronald Lauder. That puts him in the same wealthy circles that Epstein himself operated in," noted the report. "Still, it’s unfortunate that this would happen on the same day that he was picked for the Fed. Before Friday’s release, Warsh’s biggest controversy was his connection to Ronald Lauder, who reportedly inspired Trump’s interest in Greenland during his first term in office. Lauder has purchased commercial interests on the island."

Not that the Trump regime would care; apparently being a FOJ is a feature rather than a bug.

10. Worser and Worser

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive" is a famous idiom from Sir Walter Scott's 1808 epic poem *Marmion*. It highlights the destructive consequences of dishonesty, suggesting that lying initiates a chain of complications that spiral out of control........

13. Remove all people associated with Epstein, and what is left?

Maybe a functional society and a working democracy?

Probably a whole lot of entitled snobs treating the rest of the planet as worse than dirt.
