I believe this when i hear it, high chance GOP are just bluffing. Sometimes you have to wonder do they even want to take down Biden administration

Here's Senators Cruz and Hawley ripping Deputy FBI Director Abbate a new asshole. It was nice to watch, but sadly I think you are right. It's just show.

"It's his turn."

Since (and including Clinton), every POTUS has served two consecutive terms, except Trump.

Josh Hawley has a great quote:

"For years the politics of both Left and Right have been informed by a political consensus that reflects the interests not of the American middle, but of a powerful upper class and their cosmopolitan priorities. This class lives in the United States, but they identify as "citizens of the world." They run businesses or oversee universities here, but their primary loyalty is to the global community"

I see their primary loyalty as being to their lust for money and power and to their party, which is really part of their lust for money and power. If getting money and power means ass kissing Bilderburg, WEF or whatever, they'll do it, but out of self interest, not loyalty. It's more that many of their big donors now either are, or are part of, international conglomerates, like Disney.

He was called antisemitic for this quote. Makes you wonder.

Was he referring to Jews and I missed it because I didn't check context, or was he referring to the likes of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Global_Leadership_Coalition, to which I refer as ALEC's big brother?

ETA. Never mind. I should have checked context. https://saidit.net/s/debatealtright/comments/ay87/rwayofthebern_might_migrate_their_users_to_saidit/12jzm

I actually don't think he was referring to the jews, but the jews did come after him for that regardless of his intentions.

ALEC's big brother

Could you teach me about this?

Too bad he will then turn around and reject the only answer to this problem, thus keeping these cosmopolitans in power. So close, yet so far away.

What's the solution to these rootless cosmopolitans in power?

We have the same tools the French had in 1789, when they cut them down to size.

Communism

Nada.

Face that, then do whatever you can for yourself and as many other people as you can. That is where your money, effort and focus can do some good.

Politicians will not be our saviors. We have be our own saviors.

Sadly you're right. In a few years, I will become politically active. Even if it is hopeless, I cannot know what I know without acting on it.

Again, what I've come to, after disillusionment with the Dem Party, then with the Green Party, followed by a few years of thought and some epiphanies:

Futile action/focus/donations only detract from that which works.

Did you realize they were liars and hypocrites? A den of thieves?
