Totally bogus. All this Koch crap begins and ends with climate denial, to protect their license to pollute for free and have us pick up the tab. The rest is all window dressing for suckers.

Cops with guns drawn surrounded an unarmed Black man, William, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands in the air, in California this AM. It’s filmed by a young woman, Skye, who I think literally saves his life. Listening to her is gut-wrenching

7 steps of Trumpism
7 steps of Trumpism— Tea Pain (@TeaPainUSA) June 10, 2019
1) Trump manufactures phony crisis

5) Fox proclaims historical win for America
6) Trump complains media gives him no credit.
7) Rinse, repeat
Bill Barr claims to be a principled defender of the presidency. But when Bill Clinton was under attack by Ken Starr, Barr sided with Starr. He only defends Republican presidents.
