The system of affluence and influence has been created to self-sustain regardless of party affiliation. The Senate is one club with one ideological perspective. Within that club rule #1 dominates: none of the members will ever expose another member. So, when there is corrupt activity within the Senate no-one from within the institution with expose another. This is the code of Omerta within the upper chamber. This is the way of the “my good friend” Senate and how it operates.
Current Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they include: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.
In August of 2020, before the presidential election, Senate Whip John Thune rebuked the mail-in ballot concerns expressed by President Trump. Thune did this because ultimately the objectives of the upper chamber were more favorably aligned if President Trump was removed.

Yup!...but isn't it amazing how Trump... a wealthy “outsider” just trying to keep the county great..... EXPOSED THE WHOLE DC SWAMP AND THE DEEP STATE AS WELL!!
The length they will go to keep it intact is the proof of how bad it really is...
You got that right!!...... I read that wonderful ndi “mission statement” and almost puked....
In Jan 2009 Barack Obama became President. Democrats had majorities in Congress. And with so many RINOs in both houses, Obama and the Democrats, probably could have some major damage.
Obama was handed his health care plan. After that there was enough opposition, even from his own party, that he couldn’t get much else done. No gun control. Really much of nothing.
And then, 2 years into his first term, Republicans get the Senate and gain in the House, if memory serves correctly.
So, what does he do? Begins to administer by EO
Donald Trump becomes President. Has Republican majorities to work with. He was given his tax cuts. Could have done some amazing things. After that, it was nothing but lies and obstruction, especially from his own party. Two years later he loses the Republican majorities and the Democrats, with their Republican friends, stand in his way.
So, what does he do? Administers by EO. BUT, unlike the clown he replaced, his EOs actually worked and benefitted the people.
As Carlin said…..it’s a club and we ain’t in it.
It’s all a money making game to them. Kabuki Theater.
Of 535 members of Congress, I’d say 15 might be worth a damn in the House, maybe. 100 Senators, maybe 1 or 2.
They thrive and profit on the chaos. It keeps us all distracted. They get in front of the cameras, take turns saying the same sh*t, standing proudly and stoic behind McConnell like they just held off Xeres at the Gates of Thermopylae.
They get done with their statements and then head back to their offices for laughs, a nice bourbon, cigars and to check their stocks.
And we continue to elect them so the Democrat won’t win.
Sorry. But voters are the problem. They continue to believe the lies and allow themselves to be forced to vote for who the UNIPARTY wants
All but one.
Paul is the only one worth a bit.
Where do you think the article is wrong?
There are several GOP Senators not on the list.
This cycle Johnson, Paul and Kennedy are worthy of re-election.
Boggles the mind that Louisiana elected Cassidy.
However. I stand corrected, those 3 are the only ones.
“The system of affluence and influence has been created to self-sustain.” American politicians who seek happiness in their wealth from citizens’ taxes are shallow, unhappy and protected from God’s wrath, for now.
Activists of the Orange Revolution were funded and trained in tactics of political organisation and nonviolent resistance by Western pollsters and professional consultants who were partly funded by Western government and non-government agencies but received most of their funding from domestic sources. [2] [150] According to The Guardian, the foreign donors included the U.S. State Department and USAID along with the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the International Republican Institute, the NGO Freedom House and George Soros's Open Society Institute. [151]
So all of the below groups funded and/or trained Orange Revolution Activists.
U.S. State Department
USAID
National Democratic Institute for International Affairs
International Republican Institute
Freedom House
George Soros's Open Society Institute
The National Endowment for Democracy
Well isn’t that COZY. State Dept, Dems(NDI), Repubs(IRI) and Soros all joining forces to “help” Ukraine.
NED is sort of the parent NGO. Damon Wilson of CEO/President. Check out his wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wilson
“And we continue to elect them so the Democrat won’t win.”
I’m afraid that is what I will be doing this time. I don’t trust the R candidate for our house seat. I believe he is a RINO, big time.
