Koch network charts ambitious course for 2018

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – Hundreds of the nation’s top conservative donors gathered at an exclusive resort in the California desert on Saturday to strategize ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

Senior officials from a network of groups affiliated with billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch acknowledged the stiff political headwinds facing Republicans in 2018 as they seek to protect majorities in the House and Senate.

The Koch network plans to spend more than $400 million this cycle to elect GOP candidates and promote conservative causes — its largest ever investment in an election cycle.

The groups will also run parallel efforts to promote the achievements of President Trump and the Republican Congress, starting with a $20 million effort to tout the GOP’s tax bill. Other areas of focus will include promoting Trump’s judicial picks, the rolling back of regulations and the overhaul of the Veterans Affairs department.

They want this country to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Enterprises.

However, I'll make an exception for them. To have so much and be so heartless deserves a very special fate. Not exactly sure what, I'll leave that to the universe to figure out, but it should be as special as they are.

additional ways to keep feeding the greed monster. Such arrogance. Such failures as human beings.
