The monster they created has gotten out of their control.
Leonard Leo is a horrible human being, and one that would normally stay in the shadows. His name surfacing is an interesting matter indeed.
An excellent ProPublica article from 2023 gives some insight: https://www.propublica.org/article/we-dont-talk-about-leonard-leo-supreme-court-supermajority
I've never heard of this guy. Thanks for sharing!
Also damn what a stupid name
I always thought that the villain in the Clerks animted series, Leonardo Leonardo, was a reference to him since he was a billionaire looking to control everything.
Edit: Oh also the real Leonardo Leo is literally from New Jersey...
As much as I'd like to see the Koch's take it on the chin i hope he wins this one.
My first thought: oh, the Kochs are involved. Something may change.
Koch is old guard, they already lost too much influence.
It’s just drama that will not change that many things
That's possible. I would imagine if real (Thiel) money orders differently, that's what it's going to be.
Right!! Never thought I'd be siding with a Koch. I'm feeling dirty now, gonna go take a shower...
The puppet cut his string and the master isn't too happy. This is one is for the history books.
I'm torn. If the Koch brothers don't want it, I want it. 💀💀💀 What even is this fucking timeline.
One is dead, so there’s that.
These guys marshalled every resource they had to astroturf any Republican not sufficiently eager to fight Obama, a man who shares an identical economic ideology as the person who they considered to be the best President ever.
I don't mind tariffs on china. Stop the ones on our friends.
When you're MAGAt doing MAGAt things and you go so much too far you've lost Charles Kock and Leo Leo...
🤦♀️ 😂 🤣 🖕 🖕
Love to see right wingers tear each other apart.
Seriously, what the fuck did these idiots think was going to happen? Did they think he was kidding when he kept blathering about tariffs (again)?
Let them fight
Leopards and faces.
Lonnie is an actual Nazi, not just a sparkling racist. He knows what's coming. That's why he's sucking so much chode. Nacht der langen Messer coming soon.
“This statute authorizes specific emergency actions like imposing sanctions or freezing assets to protect the United States from foreign threats,” the alliance said in a statement.
Except the problem here is, trump himself is doing exactly what putin wants and destroying the US. He is the foreign paid threat.
Someone's gotta do the legolas and gimly meme for this
The one where gimly still says they aren't friends for sure.
