Charles Koch, who is on a book tour trying to convince everyone he's a bipartisan problem solver, just dropped another $856,638 through Americans for Prosperity Action to support David Perdue and keep Mitch McConnell in charge of the Senate

1. Paging Mike Bloomberg

Your table is ready

[tosh]

33. Indeed!

We need that cash to flow NOW!

[CentralMass]

2. It looks like Koch's moment of regret for fostering the sewer that has become the GOP has gone.

[LenaBaby61]

5. I never believed his little fake "Mea culpa" interview in the first place ....

He's a lying, racist, piece of scum, anti-working man/woman whose NEVER going to change.

EVER.

[Raven123]

6. Exactly.

[CentralMass]

20. I'm quite sure that hell is waiting for him.

[Turin_C3PO]

23. I'm agnostic

but I seriously hope hell exists. The idea that these fuckers may escape punishment is an unbearable thought.

[Rebl2]

34. He can join his

brother there.

[sarcasmo]

28. That Koch moment was all about his legacy, oh crap what have I done? Moment, over.

[Rebl2]

35. Correct

[RobertDevereaux]

3. Our razor focus, steady and relentless donations to both Democratic candidates in Georgia!

"Things go bitter with Koch."

[RainCaster]

4. He doesn't sound very remorseful to me

All that BS about regretting encouraging so much divisiveness through his donations is just crocodile tears.

[Sherman A1]

7. Precisely

[hlthe2b]

8. Shit.. For more than 15 years I have scrupulously avoided any Koch-produced products...

No Brawny Paper Towels, no Georgia Pacific printer paper and on and on.

Sadly, with paper shortages returning with a vengeance, my only choice for bulk TP was from a commercial product company called Pom. Lousy TP, but yeah. Don't turn down a bulk package of 45 rolls nowadays.

Upon closer inspection of the fine print label once I got it home, yeah... Georgia Pacific.

At least my household gets to urinate on Koch--in a way of speaking

[3catwoman3]

9. So much for his expression of regret.

Despicable POS.

[GemDigger]

10. Chuck went from "we messed up" to lets fuck it up more. nt

[stillcool]

11. his money doesn't know his mouth...

it's hard to believe that with all the money he's given to the GOP for all these years, he's still got plenty to burn. But...that's why he's been giving all that money to the GOP.

[mr_lebowski]

16. The two Koch brothers combined (I know one is dead now but when they were alive) are the richest

person in the world.

They're both (or were) in the Top 10 richest and combined they were well ahead of Bezos.

Dude has more money than God as the saying goes.

[Celerity]

19. He is worth 45 billion USD, freeze his wealth, and subtract half a billion straight to the Rethugs

every year until he dies and it is likely he would be still worth over 40 billion when he assumes room temperature. He would have to live to 95, 96 years old to get under 40bn, barring his spending an insane amount on other things.

[Blue Owl]

12. Fuck him.

[3catwoman3]

13. So much for his expression of regret.

Despicable POS.

When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. His true self has been on display for a long time.

[okaawhatever]

14. If 850k is known, there's 5x that in dark money/unknown. nt

[crickets]

39. No doubt. nt

[Mike 03]

15. It looks like this is part of his process of "making amends" for hopelessly

dividing the country.

[PA Democrat]

17. Fake remorse.

I never did buy into his supposed regrets in the first place. His legacy was and will continue to be that of a greedy, anti-democratic, deeply immoral and destructive piece of shit.

[Roland99]

21. Exactly!

[jalan48]

18. In case there's any doubt about what kind of Americans really run the show....

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. Talk is cheap....where he invests his money tells the real story. nt

[Solly Mack]

24. K&R

Of course.

[2naSalit]

25. I wish he'd just drop dead.

[oasis]

26. Expand SCOTUS eliminate Citizens United. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

27. "Boy, Did We Screw Up."

Obviously, his solution to having screwed up is to keep doihg it.

[wryter2000]

29. Riiiight

He's so sorry for all the hate and division he sowed. I hope no one buys his damned book and the publisher takes a bath.

[marble falls]

30. Rule 1. Don't believe a thing Koch says for public consumption. Ever. Rule 2. Don't ...

... believe a thing Koch says for public consumption. Ever. Rule 3. See rules 1 and 2.

[not fooled]

31. If historians get it right

he will go down in history as having facilitated mass murder and the destruction of democracy and the U.S. as a functioning nation. A Stalin type in a business suit. As are many "business leaders."

Also, I don't know what is worse--that he is spending the money or that the ads it buys will influence voters. Honestly, if they can't figure out by now who is on their side, is there any hope for getting out of this morass? A slick, deceptive ad is their source of information?

[Illumination]

32. Not to worry...Mitch McConnell looks like he's on his last legs! Surely all that demonic energy

is working it's magic on him!...

[Fla Dem]

36. These people crack me up. They cry bloody cold murder

and condemn tax hikes to support our government, but throw away million of $$$ like it's chump change. IF we get the senate, we have to eliminate Citizens United. Put a limit on campaign donations and expose dark money.

[Delmette2.0]

37. Citizens United!

It's well beyond the time for you to go away. Whatever it takes, we need to make it go away, forever.

[Lonestarblue]

38. Charles Koch, Rebecca Mercer, Mitch McConnell--everything that's wrong with politics today.

Add Fox News and the Murdochs. They’re all a bunch of evil monsters trying to tear our country apart through a Republican Party that puts greed over people every single time they do anything.

[LiberalFighter]

40. Those type of contributions should be illegal.
