    Good news for the fate of the earth as these ruthless ideologues lied about climate change to keep sickly hoarding more wealth.

    I can't remember which of the Koch brothers was the ring leader.

    There are 2 Koch brothers. One of them is/was unapologetically Darth Vader, one is/was marginally self aware. I'm not sure which one this is.

    There was a third, older brother who should have inherited from Daddy as well, but the two younger brothers conspired to muscle him out by blackmailing him over the fact that he was gay. As a result, he is only rich instead of Carlos Escobar/Scrooge McDuck $100-bills-for-toilet-paper rich.

    I'm sorry he died, just as I'm sorry for all the workers he's murdered because saftey regulations are a communist infringement of his liberty and thus should be ignored on principal, even if following them would save money.

    Time to Stfu, seriously. No one can raise the pettiness and low class behavior bar more than you have over the years.

    How can you be you and have the nerve to post such a request? You were probably laughing the whole time you did, as trolls do.

    All of which is 2nd to the health of the Earth or should be for any sane person.

    So all of that is nice and I appreciate their social liberalism but all of that is nothing compared to you know, being able to live comfortably on the planet.

    I just looked it up. Not trying to be contradictory, but it is the less evil of the two who died. Charles is the real @sshole and ring leader of all their evil bull****. David was the younger sidekick.

    Effectively, the influence of the Koch brothers will live on unchanged.

    I'm guessing Charles is still alive because death is too intimidated to stop by and pick him up.

    And the Koch brothers aren't liberals. They were John Birch members and huge fans of Robert LeFevre. They would be best described as extreme libertarians. David Koch was on the Libertarian Party ticket as VP in 1980.

    And finally, they murdered their workers by refusing to follow OSHA regulations on principle. Whatever else they did or didn't do, their hands are soaked in the blood of their employees. For instance, they had a deal where plant doctors gave everybody blood tests for benzene as required by OSHA. What they didn't disclose was that the plant doctors were prohibited from giving negative results to workers.

    So blood tests gave these workers a false sense of confidence (surely they'd tell us if something was wrong) while the Koch brothers would know that workers were poisoned by continuing to work but the brothers wouldn't tell them and kept sending them out ensuring they would die.

    Google "Donald Carlson Koch Brothers" if you doubt.

    Let loose the mortal coils and let the Earth heal from his greed filled ways.

    He will leave a legacy of dishonor, greed, and selfishness.

    I'd encourage the liberals on this board to examine their own mental health - seriously. The media controls your emotions. You sit there like a mindless sheep, absorbing the messages that the media feeds you, to the point that you're now celebrating somebody's death, because you think it's a "win" for your side. Think for yourselves, don't let the media control your views and emotions.

    Honest devils advocate here.

    How would you feel about "grave dancing" on Hitler? Osama bin Laden? Mass shooters?

    How about we take it down a notch, a rapist? Brutally abusive father/husband? KKK member?



    If people legitimately view this mans legacy as a crime against humanity (through his various political influences), I think people may have the right to do some grave dancing.

    Let's hope he and his brother have a speedy reunion.

    His death is a win for the Earth.

    the left is insane, you can be one of the most philanthropic people on the planet, live an upstanding, productive life, but if you deviate from the orthodoxy of the climate change cult, you are guilty of crimes against humanity
