AG, this is so spot on I don't believe I have the words to express it. The only thing I disagree with is waiting 17 months to do something about it. We have been under attack since Jan 6th 2021.

Yes, thank you! We don’t have that long until state sheriffs deputize all of the pardoned Jan 6ers, Oath Keepers, proud Boys, KKK, White Afrikaners, dirty cops and ICE and unleashed them amongst the people! They already have their big military plot of land going through 3 states. I troll MAGA accounts on Facebook and they are biting at the bit. What really upsets me is they believe that WE are the “enemy of the people” all because the whiny orange man-child conman says so! They believe the lies instead of their own fellow Americans! Also, if this big huge mega stupid bill is passed, I’m afraid people like me won’t survive until then. Nobody wants to discuss the fact that red states allow open carry without registration for anyone 18 and over when blue states have strict gun laws, which is great, except…😬

No one needs that kind of money to live a decent life in America. I just can’t understand why the oligarchs don’t want to pay their taxes.

Truly believe the answer to your question is once a member or growing up in that abyss with all its theology of “supremacy”, they become convinced they are the gifted ones of humanity & the rest of us out here are their tools.

In other words they believe this is the natural order of life & they must do everything they can to keep the lower intelligent from interacting or even inter breeding with them or their children.

Yes, they are that evil & in fact are the physical human form representation of demons. Of course using the word demonic is symbolic but the intent is to try & provide an understanding as to the depths of their callousness. They have no guilt & feel no responsibility to anyone or even Mother Nature. In other words they are an abomination of humanity. No ones needs a billion dollars, period.

Thank you, Allison, for bringing these truths about President Biden. I'm so over Biden bashing when the truth us, the truth does not see the light of day due to manipulation of the news and media by the ogliarchs.

Agree 1000% Allison. I am 77 and long felt that CU was the worst thing to happen to the country in my lifetime. I might amend that now to say that Trump is the worst, although I contend we would not have Trump were it not for the CU decision.

AG you are on the money on this--they, it's the oligarchs, and it's Citizens United--this country is circling the drain if we do no end Citizens United and kick the oligarchs out of politics. We cannot wait for the midterms--we need to do something NOW. I call and/or write Susan Collins nearly every other day and tell her she is part of the problem and I blame her for not voting to impeach this bastard years ago. Now look where we are. I'm out protesting as much as I can. Keep the heat on!

It definitely IS the oligarchs. And we have the power to change that, if we could just break through the noise.

You’re so right!

Also, my usual -

Use this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

The whole mindset is warped and dangerous the whole regime needs to be quarantined from society since they want to divide and spread hatred! WE THE PEOPLE DONT WANT THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND REBUILD AMERICA FOR OUR FAMILIES OUR CHILDREN AND CHILDRENS CHILDREN.

Whenever I read these exposés, I cringe whenever the word "they" is used. This is a rather dangerous thing to do. I do understand that there are bad wealthy individuals out there, and they are out only for what they can get. However, in my opinion, to use "they" to group all wealthy people (of this group) into a conspiracy has me worried. Is it not that when using "they" we are giving more power by creating a group out to get us? I am not sure that all wealthy and intelligent individuals are oligarchs—just a thought.

Many gas stations across the country would enjoy having an oligarch hanging upside down out front for amusing use as a piñata during fill ups! Let’s use them all for that.
