There is an ominous feeling pulling at my back-brain, the primal fear center - like encroaching darkness in a realm where artificial light doesn't exist and reliance on tactile senses are my only defense against things that live in the dark and eat fingers.

And they're pretty specific about it. Which kills me because we went through how many months of listening to that traitor go on and on about "no collusion" as we watched the WH fill in a notably disgusting nepotic fashion. (thread keeps breaking - apologies for reposts)

Nativist Karen Handel—who “won” Tom Price’s vacant #GA06 seat last year after a major breach of Georgia’s Election Center—is already a top ten recipient of #Koch money for 2018! Pls support Democrat Bobby Kaple to defeat her and the Kochs in the midterms! #UnKochOurCountry 1/
2/ Karen Handel of #GA06 opposes birthright citizenship and amnesty (link to video below)!! This type of mentality is what has empowered the neo-Nazis in Georgia & elsewhere! Support Democrat Bobby Kaple to defeat her!
3/ Karen Handel of #GA06 is a top 10 recipient of #Koch money. They want to undo most federal agencies & oversight bc they, the NRA & GOP shld be able to sell assault rifles to everyone, trample on civil rights, & destroy the environment w/o interference. opensecrets.org/orgs/toprecips…
Iowa & South Carolina voters! If u care about public education, u must call ur state legislators NOW to oppose pending legislation to join the so-called "Convention of States" to amend the U.S. Constitution! This effort is backed by the #Kochs & #ALEC! Sourced info. below. 1/
2/ The #Kochs--who support and fund the pending legislation in states like Iowa and SC to call a Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution (see posts below)--are determined to undermine public education. commondreams.org/views/2018/02/… …
3/ Here is a handout w/ links to model legislation from #ALEC--a #Koch funded organization --that would undermine public education. #ALEC is also pushing for a Convention of States to amend the US Constitution via pending bills in states like IA and SC!

BREAKING NEWS! Courtesy of state lawmakers elected via unverifiable electronic voting machines, there’s a 50% chance the Koch-funded #COSProject & Balanced Budget Task Force will have enough states by 2020 to call an Article V Convention of States 2 amend the US Constitution! 1/

3/ Here is a CTA re the 5 states that exclusively use paperless voting machines—tho many more states use paperless machines in at least counties & should be called as well, as should those states that use “paper trails” rather than #paperballots. (
Right on cue #MarkMeckler reads line from script all #Koch bought actors & #GOP R work'g from
Summary:
GOP:
1 xplds deficit

One "small" problem...The reading of the script neglects to mention a couple of things.
Firstly, #BBA - #BalancedBudgetAmendment actually means gutting SS, Medicare, public education as a start.

Paul Weyrich is a #Koch network shill who founded the #CNP
