  1. Not all American corporations support 🟠tRump, but do appease him by wanting lower Corp taxes.
    In our Capitalist econ, the Corps continue their GREEDY pursuit of net PROFITS, even when #WeThePeople starve.
    #CitizensUnited is doing all the "wet work"❗️
    "Tomorrow" they'll "shrug"❗️ 🤷🏼

    >> #ElonMusk: “With #ArtificialIntelligence we are summoning the demon.” 😳 … Why are we giving these anti-human #oligarch #sociopaths control over our entire lives? … This should be a bipartisan issue.

    It IS a bipartisan issue, and that issue is #corporate money that flows to both parties, #Republican as well as #Democratic, thanks to #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizensUnited that treats corporations as natural persons for contributing money, but not for voting.

  5. #SCOTUS’ 2010 #CitizensUnited decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal #elections.

    The limits on party spending stem from a desire to prevent large donors from skirting caps on individual contributions to a candidate by directing unlimited sums to the party, with the understanding that the #money will be spent on behalf of the candidate.

    The #SupremeCourt had previously upheld the limits in 2001.

  6. We literally have the best government money can buy, and our nation, our very survival depends on unflinchingly addressing this pugnacious problem of money as free speech foisted on us by the unaccountable SCOTUS, “Repugnicans” and Corporate Democrats.

  7. 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.
