Koch Brothers May Decide to Fire Ryan, McConnell, Meadows

North Carolina Representative Mark Meadows, chairman of the House Koch Brothers' Caucus, (also known as the House "Freedom" Caucus) told The Hill newspaper yesterday, "If Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell can get [the Koch Brothers'] agenda done they can probably keep their jobs.  If Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell can't get [the Koch Brother's] agenda done, I don't know that they get to keep theirs, nor do I know if I get to keep mine.  We've got to deliver."

The statement by one of the Koch Brothers' key political servants suggests that the plutocratic brothers believe they have achieved a sufficient stranglehold on the American political process that they can come voluntarily out of the shadows and proclaim Koch Brothers' rule.

However, as history has shown, the Brothers have little aptitude for politics apart from perseverance and nearly bottomless money bags.  Directing their servant Mark Meadows to so openly confess his subservience to plutocratic rule suggests that Koch Brothers' frustration with the failure of their lackeys to destroy healthcare for millions of Americans and to move on massive tax cuts for the plutocracy, has at least briefly upset their patient, poised, and methodical approach to the destruction of America.

Indeed, Koch Brothers' frustration is understandable when it is noted that in addition to their vassals Ryan, McConnell and Meadows, one of their long-time political footmen, Marc Short, is White House Director of Legislative Affairs, and their valet is Vice-President of the United States.
