Donald Trump tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election, was recently found liable for sexual assault, and has been charged with 88 felonies. Trump is currently spending four days a week at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse. And yet, there are still a lot of rich people who choose to spend massive sums of money to help Trump become the next president.
I'm convinced there's a kind of mental illness particular to the extremely wealthy, or at least a wildly skewed worldview. The cruelty and selfishness is astonishing.
Your bio's and activities of the rich and selfish, those who influence and benefit scumbag politicians and wannabe scumbag politicians, is a public service, for which you should be awarded.
This information is so valuable. I pledge never ever to buy dominos sugar. And the tough one is the owner of our beloved baseball team, Chicago Cubs. This is a deep blue city and we influence the vote for the entire state. It disgusts me that they profit off of so many people who despise them and their politics.
The difficult part is that almost every brand we can think of is owned by right wingers. Mergers and buy outs are the death of democracy and supportive of plutocracies where we are today.
We keep fighting! And remember, while we hear daily about idiot rescumliCons, Biden has been accomplishing wins for the American public. They are smothered by coverage of the rapist & deadly seditionist.
Thank you for familiarizing us with this cast of characters who live for their wealth and plans to increase it at the expense of those who suffer, often working as hard as they can in the attempt to merely survive.
I'm paying attention to the warnings about deregulation: "Lance Gilman, who played a key role supporting the lobbying effort, previously said that Trump’s deregulation plan was 'the untold story of the administration.' He added that it was 'a bigger victory than Trump placing a new justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.' " No regulation, no protection for those without great wealth--this is exactly what's on trial in NY City right now in the personification of Donald Trump,
Greedy bastards, all of them. And don't even get me started on two bit mobster Steve Wynn or Woody Johnson and his gold-digger wife, who has probably never seen a woody johnson from her old fart husband.
Tax cuts and sugar subsidies matter more to these assholes than a healthy democracy. And they think that if Trump seizes power he won't be demanding a cut of each and every one of their fortunes.
Hmm, well, I take solace in that I only see one California link, albeit a rent gouger which these days is top of mind for many people. Bummer as a whole though. This is why we shouldn't let people get too rich, they just use their resources to steal from ordinary people and the feds.
The Koch fortune is still rolling out cash, I assume? When you look at the 1% and what they are doing to control elections it blows the mind. I don't like them.
I don't buy sugar thankfully or gamble. And once again I just had a shiver over our future. Thank you for this article, I know more about the enemies of Democracy.
The uber wealthy underscore the Republican mantra transmogrification from “I’ve made mine; feel free to make your own” to “I’ve made mine and I’m coming for yours” to “I’ve made mine, I’m coming for yours, and if you’re not suffering, I’m not happy.” On a related note, apparently poor Republicans will vote against self-interests as long as they perceive others as suffering.
And I’ll also add re: Joe Ricketts: His son was INSTALLED into the senate in a Koch-Ricketts maneuver that included sending Ben Sasse to the U of Florida (where he creates havoc with gender and black studies) and they literally paid to put Jim Pillen, Pig Farmer Extraordinaire, in the governor’s office. Pillen, who is buying up land in western Nebraska, contaminating ground water with nitrates (that leach out Uranium into drinking water), and carrying on a campaign to privatize public schools. These are the essence of Fascist billionaires carrying out the Libertarian agenda described in Nancy MacLean’s book, “Democracy in Chains.”
The most corrupt of the corrupt. Absolutely disgusting that they would rather hurt the people whose backs they used to get where they are. Yeah I support taxing these rich so they can’t donate hundreds of thousands or millions.

Fantastically informative, PopInfo!

Pass this info on, readers. Knowledge is power.

Follow the money.... and you may find the root of all evil...
Rich people screwing up our country, as per usual!
As I call them - money whores!

A bunch of old-money white racists. Shocking.
Rich assholes giving lots of money to another rich asshole.

Nice reporting PI!

Alexander Hamilton would be all, “I told you so”! Corporations and the uber-wealthy are natural enemies of democracy.
