This should ease tensions within the GOP… 
F you Koch bros and your many people killing industries!
Their money and influence would have been much better spent defeating that man in the primaries. Suck it up, Kochs. You are stuck with the cray cray and your dreams are evaporating by the minute. The excrement is hitting the oscillating air-movement device in DC.

Why would two guys who have been fabulously wealthy their entire lives, who have never wanted for anything, ever, care so much about taking life-saving health care away from millions of their fellow Americans? It’s a complete mystery to me.
How can they call themselves Christians?
“The reality is, this is existential for Republicans,” David McIntosh, the president of the Club for Growth, told the New York Times.
just think about that for a minute. i mean … taking away access to affordable healthcare from millions of people (many of whom ARE republicans, and who will CEASE to exist because of it, but whatever) is their very reason for being.
i fucking hate republicans with everything i have. it’s not because of a lack of empathy – i have empathy. and quite frankly, that’s why i hate them so much. their leaders, their foot soldiers, their voters. i hate every single one of them. hating these evil fucks is existential for me.
“Our network has spent more money, more time and more years fighting Obamacare than anything else. And now with the finish line in sight, we cannot allow some folks to pull up and give up.”
Tough talk from people who will not be held responsible for the consequences. Congressional Republicans are scared shitless of repeal, and with very good reason.
If the Koch’s find our country so horrible they should move to Putinland or China.
See how long they would last.
Well, to be fair, they do live in Kansas.
Edit: Can’t believe I did that. I’m sure Kansas is a lovely place.
“Our network has spent more money, more time and more years fighting Obamacare than anything else. And now with the finish line in sight, we cannot allow some folks to pull up and give up.”
Sounds like they need Rick.

The more power that plutocrat-oligarchs can take away from the government and people the more power that the oligarchs can wield.
Many believe they are chosen by God even though they may be nuts.
Because they might just increase their vast fortunes by $15 each by squeezing the hoi polloi. (Ever seen “Trading Places”? Think about the bet that cost the Akroyd character his job, reputation and dignity…the Duke brothers could have been colled Koch…)
The same way as all the rest of the people who cherry-pick the Bible for tidbits to support all sorts of un-Christian behavior and values…
David bought Jackie’s 5th Avenue penthouse.
It would seem like a great many public hospitals would be averse to their emergency rooms once again becoming the destination for the uninsured seeking medical care due to lack of insurance. Why don’t we hear more from them? Similarly it would seem those same hospitals would be writing off less uncollectible bills post-ACA enactment. What’s in it for hospitals to sit idly by while this debate rages?
I at least have the satisfaction of knowing these two crybabies will die unloved, unmourned, and whose empire will be remembered as the champion of backward thinking for mediocre white men. I cannot wait for green tech to start outpacing these idiots
Sources close the the Koch Brothers confidentially offered the following explanation: “along with Trump, we bought the GOP fair and square. We invested hundreds of millions. It’s their turn to exchange billions in tax and regulatory favors to us for health care that moochers get.”
These two cartoonishly evil greedy blood suckers deserve an eternity of damnation – right along side the crooked GOP politicians the Koch Bros purchased like vegetables at the market.
Basic greed combined with a lifetime of being raised on ultra right wing orthodoxy.
Me too.
Trying to figure out how they capitalize on it
I’m wondering if they just want to see their libertarian dream come true, even if it costs peoples lives and destroys the economy.
The old I’ll show you!!
This may help
Here are just a few excerpts of the Libertarian Party platform that David Koch ran on in 1980:
“We urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws, and the immediate abolition of the despotic Federal Election Commission.”
“We favor the abolition of Medicare and Medicaid programs.”
“We oppose any compulsory insurance or tax-supported plan to provide health services, including those which finance abortion services.”
“We also favor the deregulation of the medical insurance industry.”
“We favor the repeal of the fraudulent, virtually bankrupt, and increasingly oppressive Social Security system. Pending that repeal, participation in Social Security should be made voluntary.”
“We propose the abolition of the governmental Postal Service. The present system, in addition to being inefficient, encourages governmental surveillance of private correspondence. Pending abolition, we call for an end to the monopoly system and for allowing free competition in all aspects of postal service.”
“We oppose all personal and corporate income taxation, including capital gains taxes.”
“We support the eventual repeal of all taxation.”
“As an interim measure, all criminal and civil sanctions against tax evasion should be terminated immediately.”
“We support repeal of all law which impede the ability of any person to find employment, such as minimum wage laws.”
“We advocate the complete separation of education and State. Government schools lead to the indoctrination of children and interfere with the free choice of individuals. Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended.”
“We condemn compulsory education laws … and we call for the immediate repeal of such laws.”
“We support the repeal of all taxes on the income or property of private schools, whether profit or non-profit.”
“We support the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency.”
“We support abolition of the Department of Energy.”
“We call for the dissolution of all government agencies concerned with transportation, including the Department of Transportation.”
“We demand the return of America’s railroad system to private ownership. We call for the privatization of the public roads and national highway system.”
“We specifically oppose laws requiring an individual to buy or use so-called “self-protection” equipment such as safety belts, air bags, or crash helmets.”
“We advocate the abolition of the Federal Aviation Administration.”
“We advocate the abolition of the Food and Drug Administration.”
“We support an end to all subsidies for child-bearing built into our present laws, including all welfare plans and the provision of tax-supported services for children.”
“We oppose all government welfare, relief projects, and ‘aid to the poor’ programs. All these government programs are privacy-invading, paternalistic, demeaning, and inefficient. The proper source of help for such persons is the voluntary efforts of private groups and individuals.”
“We call for the privatization of the inland waterways, and of the distribution system that brings water to industry, agriculture and households.”
“We call for the repeal of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.”
“We call for the abolition of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.”
“We support the repeal of all state usury laws.”
And can there be any doubt that the Koch brothers and Robert Mercer are working hand in glove with Russian hackers?
What we have is a clear attempt by a foreign nation to effectively subvert and control our government, with active collusion by the Republican Party.
