The Koch’s and their #KochNetwork were #NeverTrump EXCEPT when it came to tax cuts for the rich and corporations — and of course SCOTUS justices; Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh!

In spite of the network’s decision to stay out of the presidential race, it will still support candidates for Senate and governor through its various groups like Americans for Prosperity.

Here’s what happens when the Koch’s turns a Republican into a #KochSucker: “Marco Rubio voted 98 percent of the time with Koch brothers”, PolitiFact #PaulRyanToo

Koch network Spokesman James Davis told the Post the organization plans to “significant investment to support policy champions in Senate, House and state races, build broad-based policy coalitions, and to launch a major new initiative to fight poverty in America.”

From the Washington Post

The snub of the president is likely to reinforce the personal divide between Trump and Koch.

At a meeting of top Koch network donors last summer, senior network officials criticized the “tremendous lack of leadership” in Trump’s Washington, saying “the divisiveness of this White House is causing long-term damage.”

This is pretty big!  If Amy is coming out for ditching it, there’s a much better chance that it might actually happen.

And FUCK MANCHIN AND SINEMA:  EXPOSE THEIR BRIBES BY KOCHSUCKERS AND MERCILESS MERCERS.

Twisted Sister - We're not gonna take it (With Lyrics) So it seems like this is now becoming the anthem of the school teachers marching for better pay and benefits.

It seems to me this needs to spread to ALL the marches and protests we need to have before the elections in November.

On that note, Scott Walker, the right wing nutjob Kochsucker governor of Wisconsin is freaking out because the LIBERAL candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court beat the crap out of the right wing Kochista by 56% to 44%

It was fucking SNOWING in Wisconsin today, so the weather didn’t keep people home!

“But getting to the polls won’t be easy for some people. Up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) of snow is expected in the central part of the state. Dozens of schools are already canceling classes. “

BTW, looking at the map, sure the Dems did REALLY well in Milwaukee and Dane county, where most of the Dems hang out.  But there was blue all over the state: Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Bay, Wausau, Eau Claire.  All places that were red in 2016.

Did I mention that Rebecca Dallet, the winner of the judicial race, is ‘way ‘way qualified?

Whereas the guy they ran against her ... is the perfect GOP candidate, from his resume.  It didn’t help him.

This is huge.  

PLEASE!

REGISTER! VOTE!  In EVERY election!  Because these special elections are chipping away at the control the right wing GOP has over the 31 states where they have both House of the legislatures plus the Governorship.

“We’re not gonna take it anymore!”

First of its kind study shows CEO political donations favor GOP

A new, first of its kind study tracks the political leanings of CEOs by examining 18 years of political contributions by more than 3,800 CEOs of S&P 1500 companies.

The big picture: The chief executives of America's largest public companies are more than twice as likely to lean Republican in their campaign contributions than to favor Democrats.

Among big energy companies, CEOs' Republican leanings are even stronger: more than 9 in 10 energy CEOs side with Republicans, and none with Democrats.

The study, by professors from Harvard Law School and Tel-Aviv University, classifies a CEO as a Republican or a Democrat if they gave at least two-thirds of their campaign contributions to one party or the other. CEOs that distributed their contributions more evenly between the two major parties were classified as neutral.

Why it matters: Money matters in politics — and CEOs wield significant power in America.

The public trusts CEOs more than journalists and government officials, according to a recent Edelman survey, and 84% "expect CEOs to inform conversations and policy debates on one or more pressing societal issues."

They sit on presidential advisory committees like President Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum, which included J.P. Morgan's Jamie Dimon and GM's Mary Barra, and Barack Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

And they potentially influence how their companies make independent political expenditures, a large and growing source of campaign finance since the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United vs. FEC decision.

The other side: CEOs are responsible for maximizing shareholder value, and "some might argue that support for Republicans is consistent with shareholder interests because share value would benefit from the low-tax and deregulatory policies promoted by Republicans," according to the study.

And the rich steal another election. That's cool though. If you thought this spring's rallies were energized, wait and see what happens when they come back.

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Oh, I think it’s coming very, very soon...sooner than most people think.

ProTip:  when the “Leftie Despair Patrol” starts posting doom and gloom, right on cue, as it were, that is when “the other side” are scared shitless. 

Leftie Despair Patrol is LEFT SIDE OF THE HORSESHOE.  Paid for, ultimately, by KochSuckers or other Dark Money hard-righters here, or Russia, laundered via shell companies.

The Trump administration has placed a former Koch Industries official in charge of research that will shape how the government regulates a class of toxic chemicals contaminating millions of Americans’ drinking water

— Citizens for Ethics‏ @CREWcrew - Feb 5, 2019

From POLITICO

What’s the best way to prevent companies from the pesky profit sucking costs of following regulations and lawsuits? Stop it from the inside —  at the source.

Safe drinking water ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cancer  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Drink up America!

The Trump administration has placed a former Koch Industries official in charge of research that will shape how the government regulates a class of toxic chemicals contaminating millions of Americans’ drinking water — an issue that could have major financial repercussions for his former employer.

David Dunlap, a deputy in EPA’s Office of Research and Development, is playing a key role as the agency decides how to protect people from the pollution left behind at hundreds of military bases and factories across the country.

Previously undisclosed documents obtained by POLITICO show Dunlap began working on the issue almost immediately upon arriving at EPA in October. He had spent the previous eight years as Koch Industries' lead expert on water and chemical regulations, a position that typically includes helping companies to limit regulatory restrictions and liability for cleanups.

“Known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, the chemicals have been linked with kidney and testicular cancer, as well as other ailments.”

Both Republicans and Democrats have urged a stronger approach from acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler
