At a weekend donor retreat attended by at least 18 elected officials, the Koch brothers warned that time is running out to push their agenda, most notably healthcare and tax reform, through Congress. Trump wants 'heart' as Republicans seek to deliver Senate healthcare bill

One Texas-based donor warned Republican lawmakers that his “Dallas piggy bank” was now closed, until he saw legislative progress.

“Get Obamacare repealed and replaced, get tax reform passed,” said Doug Deason. “Get it done and we’ll open it back up.

2. Hey Doug, you are cordially invited to piss off...

I do not know who this shit head is, if the money is his or if he is just a middle-man stooge or anything else about him beyond I wish he would die soon and in as much pain as humanly possible to feel without passing out for the duration...

5. Don Deason, Koch Brothers --- TRAITORS

Many, many others too.

They will stop at nothing short of complete oligarchy.

We need to rise up and take back our country from the TRAITORS

6. Isn't there some form of RICO statute that can be invoked?

Bribery, Extortion, Intimidation?

Yes, I know that an investor can "vote with his or her pocketbook", but I'm not sure that an investor can force a producer of a public good or service to do something specifically for that investor's benefit above the safety and well-being of the other customers.

"We want tax reform and Obamacare repealed and replaced if you want any more money from us" sounds pretty quid pro quo to me.

7. And now the Donald wants them to "skip recess" for not turning in their homework on time.

He's pressuring them to repeal it NOW! Koch brothers' and loser 45's money is dictating our lives. That seems fair.
