The US has been corrupt for a long time with its revolving door but it's getting so blatant that frankly it's shocking. As a ruling class, you want to at least pretend to have some illusion of fairness. It's starting to looking some backwater Balkan nation or something.

I've come to the conclusion though that I prefer that it is now out in the open. There's a better likelihood heads will eventually roll (as a figure of speech).

I'd say you're half right. Heads do roll in authoritarian regimes.

Pessimistically I think it's more out in the open because they think it won't catch up to them.
