Thwarting government

Posted June 05, 2018 1:00 am

Recently, I saw an ad on TV warning that Trump's judicial appointments are being thwarted by the Democrats in Congress. Underwriting this ad is the Judicial Crisis Network, which is supported by our good friends the Koch Brothers, and several right-wing religious entities.

Apparently, the preponderance of corporation supporting Federalist Society judges isn't enough. The Kochs and the Federalist Society want more. Our current SCOTUS twisted itself into a pretzel to enable massive legalized bribery in our political system by the rich and corporations, and we are bearing the fruit of the seeds they have sown. The kleptocracy is now in charge of the nation.

The Kochs can use their billions to buy influence to pollute and gain tax breaks at will. I can afford about $50. I wonder who will win the day. Anyone want to venture a guess?
