In DC Speech, Charles Koch Speaks of ‘the Mess’ He Sees the Country In

Charles Koch never uttered Donald Trump's name, but it was clear who was on his mind as he addressed a Cato Institute gala Thursday night.

Une partie des libertariens réactionnaires qui ont lourdement financé le dispositif électoral de #Trump se rebiffent.
Les #Tariffs sur la #China menacent leurs propres business.
Tu vas voir qu'ils vont finir par porter plainte contre le clown orange 😂
Ah, ben oui, ils viennent de le faire 😂

New Civil Liberties Alliance says president’s invocation of emergency powers to impose tariffs is unlawful

Monday Monday 🎶 Blink blink.
What!?! After two days of blocking most news for the better part of two days, I wake up to #CharlesKoch and #CitizensUnited cronies eating crow but suing Trump over tariffs. Lord have mercy.

Everyone who is mad about Trumps advertisement show for Tesla in front of the White House shouldn't be.

It's great what he did and I'll explain you why I think so.

Getting the President to pose as a used car seller shows how desperate #Musk is and that we can hurt him here, so we must continue. Another added value of this genious PR stunt: it will have the opposite effect Ren and Stimpy were hoping for as the brand is now really 100% associated with the shitheads and will further catalyse the brands meltdown. #Trump and Musk can in the meantime get creative on how to explain to all the #DodgeRAM #MAGA meatheads that they now should buy all of a sudden a (gAaaaYyy!!11!) electric car while at the same time sucking #CharlesKoch's oily d***. Good luck!

(Edit: added 'desperate'; changed Koch brothers to Charles Koch, as it is minus one since a few years already)

“These guys have, both at the corporate level and at the individual level, been even better at avoiding taxes than in making good products,” Stiglitz said. “The level of taxes they pay as a share of their profits should be an embarrassment to them.” The 24 superbillionares declined to comment or didn’t respond to requests for comment.
