Left, right: it doesn’t matter; they all seek to unseat their overlords every now and then”

Given Jewish history this makes sense. Politicians in all countries are corrupt, there are no exceptions. Countries like Israel & Japan routinely give their leaders a boot in the butt. The Prime Minister knows he can’t get too comfortable or the people will throw him out – how refreshing. The POTUS is an emperor by comparison.
