Billionaire Conservative Koch Brother, David Koch, Dies At 79 | Morning Joe | MSNBC
WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO, those champers bottles are getting cracked as my body double is writing this, WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
The swamp just lost one of its founding fathers.
Dave Schultz This pos with the other, funded elitist Dems too. That should tell you enough who these despicable people are. They aren’t for anything, but the take over of US government run by an oligarchy.
David J yes
The Grim Reaper doesn’t check your wallet when he comes calling.
@Tomasina Covell You are so right. The evil CONservatives are stealing everything from power to our safety and security.
@Fin Zen I just wish his brother Charles a quick reunion
@Xeccelerator I second that!
Good riddance. Let your avarice and evil designs, past & future be your companion for eternity, heart of darkness, mothafukah.
@Joe Blow Blow Harder.
@eltorocal no problem, here’s a good one. When some of your know-it-all friends mention David Duke asked them to mention another Clan’s leader. They won’t come up with any, you know why?? because they were all Democrats!
HAHAHA I laughed so hard when i just heard this
Greg C what’s actually funny is watching the amazon rainforest on livestream rn
@Ihsan23 I hope you live in a flood plain.
That’s really sad
I did too and I feel awful.
Can I laugh when you die?
They are part of the Deep State.
One more to go for a healthier planet.
Exactly!!!
Amen.
A Pacing Goose yes one more to go
Climate change denier
Advocator of increase School shootings
A war monger
Pro slaughter of Palestinian kids
Great news one less rich influencer of removing health insurance from poor people
Refused public transport for poor people
@Dave Schultz that was someone else
@Dave Schultz Yes, just vomited by another ignorant WHITE politician.
BADDA-CAS MEDIA but he gave a tiny fraction of his dirty money to charity!
One vampire less in this world
Down with liberty! Down, I say!
William Chadwick This pos with the other, funded elitist Dems too. That should tell you enough who these despicable people are. They aren’t for anything, but the take over of US government run by an oligarchy.
Same when you die right? Or, are you a caring and gentle soul?
“philanthropist” ?! rotflmao!
Yeah, I laughed at that too. Way to mispronounce “arsehole” there, lady.
I guess the other brother will need to work twice as hard to bully Republican primary candidates into submission
The Koch brothers OWN the Republican Party. The Republicans exist to do their bidding; tax cuts for the ultra-rich, deregulation of Wall Street and endless wars
Xeccelerator. they own the Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell faction and are in league with the BUSH family but they were very PRO HILLARY and hated Trump
@oliverthecat666 Hillary Clinton is a Republican anyway. Not doubt they’d support Trump in a heartbeat against Bernie Sanders.
Finally that guy died he was destroying this country
He was active in destroying the whole planet’s climate and environment.
He also managed to derail several mass transit projects across the country!!
Shame on you
I’d have thought the word “Philanthropist” is not the correct word.
Where will the trumpanzees get their koolaid from now?
there is another brother ya know..The more liberal of the two died..
Another freak still to go
@janewright315
Fingers crossed that he will see the grave too. Along with Moscow Mitch.
Death don’t care how Rich, Powerful and healthy you are.
HybridFlu you mean wealthy
@John Brown Healthy. You can be in good shape and don’t see 50.
Maybe he will take Trump with him
@Cha lin My comment has now “45 likes”. Lol. But I don’t wanna think like that. That’s for trump and his followers.
Koch brothers were job outsourcers .. They lobbied to build up CHINA at the expense of the American worker
I hate how the donor class always tries to cover up their corporate malfeasance buy donated to charity. It’s like the Rockefellers. If I donate to enough good things people will hopefully Forget how much damage I’ve done to the average American. But I’m sure that since people are afraid of the death tax his ill-gotten gains will be spread on to the future generation of corrupt people.
2 of the most deplorable men in America. Now there is only 1. They did not back Trump. Other then that , they have been responsible for sleazy , dishonest & gutter adds for years. 🐖.
THEY OWN TRUMPS EVERY MOVE.
Nope, they did backed up Trump, big time, thru dark money. Every cent of dark money in American politics is from these two mothafukahs. One down, one to go, couldn’t be soon enough 🙏🙏🙏
The Amazon forests are a blazing inferno because of evil industries like Koch.
Paul page, amen to that
Ihsan23 so an 84% increase in the incidence of ‘forest fires ‘ is no more than a coincidence. Just like the massive decrease in Artic ice that makes the ‘Greenland’ purchase attractive to Trump and the fact that (if I remember correctly) 16 out of the 17 hottest years on record are the last sixteen years…
*One filthy, stinking Kochroach down, one to go*
@jeck jeck did you really use the word amen in you hate filled response? Are you serious? You can’t be serious.
