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)

#CharlesKoch’s network launches $20m campaign backing Trump #tax breaks
Revealed: #fossilfuel #billionaire’s #AmericansForProsperity vows ‘herculean undertaking’ to renew and deepen tax cuts
The donor appeal calls for even bolder tax cuts for corporations that would directly benefit #KochIndustries, the energy and chemicals giant from which most of #AFP’s funding derives.
It is estimated that the #Kochs have benefited by more than $1bn a year from Trump’s tax cuts.

So #CharlesKoch, #HarlanCrow et al. bought a Supreme Court (@scotus) that kept #Trump out of prison, granted him massively extended immunity and then pumped money into the @GOP campaign.

They own the horrors of the coming years (only 4, hopefully). https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/us/politics/trump-special-counsel-report-election-jan-6.html
