The Koch Bros Administration - long thread by Adam Kahn

[CousinIT]

Koch Brothers stand to make lots of $$$$ in oil and gas if Russian sanctions are lifted. Trump's admin is the Koch Admin. Trump is doing EVERYTHING they want: Repealing ACA, gutting EPA and killing all regs, defunding Planned Parenthood, approving Keystone XL (Kochs have lots of Canadian tar sands they want to make $$$ off of).

Basically anyone who thinks the Koch Bros dislike Trump and therefore aren't involved in this admin -- better think again. Trump & Kochs will get in bed together if it benefits both of them -- and it does.

EDIT: Mike Pence is Koch Brother's guy: http://shareblue.com/pence-lies-about-secret-meeting-with-koch-brother/ - NOTE that the article below seems to want to claim that the Koch Brothers are disinterested in Trump's presidency. OH. NO. THEY. ARE. NOT! >>>The Koch Brothers ARE TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY.<<<

Pence lies about secret meeting with Koch brother
By Alison R. Parker |
JUNE 24, 2017
The meeting wasn't on the vice president's schedule, and his spokesperson denied it would be taking place.

Mike Pence’s staff seems to believe that if you simply deny something enough, that means it never actually happened. Unfortunately for them, reality doesn’t work that way.

While in Colorado to speak at the 40th anniversary event for the right-wing evangelical group Focus on the Family, Pence also had a meeting with the libertarian billionaire activist Charles Koch, The Hill reports.

According to a spokesperson for the Koch brothers, the meeting touched on “issues ranging from tax reform to a measure reforming the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.”

But it was not noted on Pence’s schedule for the weekend, and a spokesperson for his office initially denied to The Hill that the meeting was planned, and did not respond to later requests for comment.

The secrecy around the meeting may not be surprising, though it is certainly troubling, considering the Koch brothers’ history with conservative political activism in general — and with Pence in particular.

1. Actually Rebekka Mercier picked alot of his dept. heads.

While I do not think Trump and the Kochs are enemies, the billionaire family that was funding and advising Trump, got Kellyanne Conway and Bannon, ect., into the campaign were the Merciers. Rebekka and her dad, Robert Mercier, are the billionaires involved mostly with Trump

2. Yes, and didn't Manafort push Pence ? It's more Mercers

Than Koch's.
