democracy. They basically bribed GOP senators to make sure Gorsuch got in.

even as we speak.

We will all be Koch slaves soon thanks to those SCOTUS bastards that gave them the power to do it.

slush fund.

It's one of those words that scream, bible verse, christian, second coming, religious ecstacy, Jesus... etc.

...and painfully so, considering it would only be fitting the grief and pain their money has caused.

Ann Burford Gorsuch, a Reagan thing

Figures that the oil companies would want a Gorsuch

They are economic terrorists, but still.

I cannot believe the level of corruption

Our democracy is being bought by the 1% and destroyed.

Putin's plan is working to perfection with a huge assist from the republican party: the Koch's and Mercer's.

My non-political friends, who were so fired up after the inauguration, with the marches & postcard parties, got burned out months ago.

We got one shot to stop these republican pigs in 2018.

If it doesn't happen this country and everything it supposedly stands for is finished.

another example of how we are being fucked over....

I'm pretty darn close to feeling hopeless...

made it into McConnell's hands.

Where is the prosecution?

See: Citizens United decision.

and people just pushing money into their outstretched hands.

I'm sure the ones responsible for the death of democracy sleep well at night.

...so it all went to the newspapers and TV channels. Maybe some online advertising too - Facebook, Twitter and such.

We need to kick down some doors and start screaming at these supposedly "fair and balanced" news media outlets. How fair and balanced can they be, when they take these huge amounts of money from the PAC funds?

Cheat 'em.

When a chair on the Supreme Court opened up while Obama was in office, the Republicans refused to consider his pick for Supreme Court Justice. They kept saying "After the election".
My question is this; how did they know they'd have a Republican president?

...is chump change to these super Oligarchs. Not kidding.

It's the Mercers. The RW family of sociopaths who fund Breitbart, Bannon and Miller.

As I understand it, their hedge funds etc have made them richer than the Kochs.

Jane Meyer is the source on this.

in the same ideological network.

They flooded the Repubs in our state with millions to finance ads. They also gave Gov. Walker millions. They have attacked public education, conservation, elections and so much more. The Kochs are a fungus that spread their filth over every thing decent.

What are they going to rule on that will profit someone more than that in return?

was such a big deal, so on Election Day they stayed home, or voted for Jill Stein.

now it's the court system.

What's left?

Want to write your reps and tell them to stop this shit?

I don't think it will have much impact for some reason.

Good luck.
