New Filings Reveal Another $$$ Billionaire Behind the Big Lie

[634-5789]

Among the ranks of “dark money” groups and anonymous megadonors who bankrolled the effort is a familiar name in GOP fundraising circles: Dick Uihlein, founder of the multinational Uline shipping company.

According to previously unreported tax disclosures, Uihlein’s nonprofit—the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation—poured millions of dollars in 2020 into a sprawling number of groups connected to efforts to challenge Joe Biden’s victory and reimagine election law, as well as other right-wing extremist organizations, including ones designated as hate groups.

1. Talk about someone who wants "open borders"...

how about a died in the wool free trader?

[ShazamIam]

15. They don't want immigrants who will become citizens, they only want the cheap labor immigrants, and

no children, no grandparents allowed. Just healthy worker age and no path to citizenship.

[Wounded Bear]

19. That's true as well...

it's why they fight any immigration reform.

[ShazamIam]

20. Yes, they want to go back to that time when we had quotas instead of the lotto kind of thing going

now which does has lots of loopholes to allow the special ones in.
The LOL is not many of the ones they consider to be the right kind want to come here anymore.

Conservatives have turned us into a developing nation as far as the 80% of us are concerned. We spent the last 40 years going backwards on education, healthcare, housing, wages, individual rights, economic parity, political power, criminal reform and so much more.

[Wounded Bear]

25. I've often said that the repub immigration plan...

was to turn us into a 3rd world hellhole that nobody would want to come to.

(except that it might be more true than I like to accept)

29. There goal is slavery

And always has been

[ShazamIam]

31. Yes. I think they have succeeded.

2. Found out about ULine 4 years ago

Their prices are 2x higher on basic tape
Their prices are 3x higher on basic boxes
Their heat shrink machines are 4x higher

But you get a free shirt of your favorite football team if you order through them. Those shirt more than paid for. It is a racket of the first order. Any business that does buys from ULine is either lazy (they have a catalog), stupid ($300 for 6 rolls of tape) or you have a shipping manager who wants that new Tom Brady jersey.

I have painted over every ULine logo and called and made them stop send their 200 page monthly catalog. Their owners (the hubby and wife) are scum.

6. Good for you!! We should all have your attitude

[Progressive Jones]

27. They ARE scum. Just like their asshole buddy Bruce Rauner (former IL gop governor). nt

[MissMillie]

3. a huge chunk of money to promote a lie

how much for dealing w/ supply chain issues?

[uponit7771]

4. Whoa !!!

[PortTack]

5. That is nothing new...he's been giving big bucks to the crazies for sometime

[blm]

7. I am certain he and his family are REAL Nazis.

I do not say this in jest.

[Disaffected]

9. This & a few like him ARE the Republican Party. Everyone should read this excellent article.

Thanks for the Op & link.

More like this please.
Is there a real Media journo who'll make this story an MSM Sp Report?

Anyone?

[Joinfortmill]

10. Thank you SCOTUS.

[gab13by13]

11. Just another American oligarch.

[Ziggysmom]

12. Refuse Uline!

[AllaN01Bear]

13. doing the will of putin. thank you citizens united .

[llashram]

14. no surprise

just disgusted at American hypocrisy. American fascism in corporate boardrooms is not an anomaly. It's business as usual. War, capitalism, supporting racists at every level of predatory capitalism. And war is just a treasure trove in American business. Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex. Driving unrest nationally and internationally.

Words of warning have never slowed and will never slow the progression of the MI complex.

[aggiesal]

16. I stopped using ULine when I found this out some time ago. n/t

17. Wife Liz writes about her love for Trump ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE.

18. Oligarchy or bust!

I don't think the MAGAts understand that they're being played for suckers in order to set up a GQP oligarchy in which they will have fewer rights and no easy way to change it because voting won't matter.

[usaf-vet]

21. That is one of the money sources that funded the overtake of Wisconsin

To suggested that they are creepy evil people would be an understatement and a joke.

[lostnfound]

22. These people also disregarded Canadian pandemic laws..called it overhyped..then caught COVID.

At age 75, probably not easy.

Holding unmasked “lunch and learns” with Scott Walker.

‘ Nearly 19% of the company’s Illinois workplace has tested positive, 23% of its California-based workforce, and nearly 27% of its workforce in Texas,” the story reported’

23. Wisconsin Uihleins?

Is this the same family that owned Schlitz Brewery?

[FakeNoose]

24. Wikipedia says he's related to them

(link) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_and_Elizabeth_Uihlein

The family is at least 4 generations and they've spread out. He's not directly involved with the brewery.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

26. Thanks for the info.

The Uihlein family was treated like royalty when I was growing up in Milwaukee. I could see the Schlitz grain elevator from my bedroom window on a clear day.
