No, this isn't The Onion

It is virtually impossible for me to do justice to this video of a son of one of the Koch brothers. It simply must be watched and enjoyed.

While Koch Jr. sells ugly yacht/boardroom shirts (with bags of money printed on them), daddy Koch is spending tens of millions of dollars trying to convince us that the reverse-Robin Hood tax bill is good for us.

Yes, the rich really are different. They are all proven sociopaths.

Those shirts are as ugly as he is. He thinks those cute chicks on the yacht are interested in him and his ugly shirts?? Heck no...your ass was born a Koch, and that's it.

I don't have a twitter account either and I can watch it.
It's either your browser, or you need to install VLC.

she asks with a clueless vacancy in her eyes.

I've noticed that ever since I upgraded Firefox last month videos play for crap. They're all twitchy and jerky. As I recall this same thing happened the last time I upgraded Firefox, which should have taught me a lesson. I'm going to try logging in on IE and see what happens.

And installed it, but it wouldn't play it either!

I've made halfhearted attempts at trying to find the problem, which began directly after upgrading Firefox, But perhaps over the holidays I'll double down. I'm getting tired of watching twitchy videos.

Was it a Newman lookalike dweeb in a butt-ugly shirt driving along, yukking it up with a bunch of other dweebs in butt-ugly shirts, conferring with a gorgeous ad desiger, dining with stunning wimmins, on a yacht with a bunch of swimsuit clad wimmins none of whom would give him the time of day if he wasn't stinkin' rich?

If so, I finally saw it. It was billed as "Bill Koch's son inadvertently emerges as the face of Trump's tax plan."

Bill, is apparently a lesser known brother of the other two. He's obviously more civic minded than his bros. Bill specializes in keeping Merrikkka safe from cheap fake wine, 'cause... if not him then who?

But hey, I guess Sonny can be happy billions of folks are seeing his commercial!

Yeah, that's really thinking outside the box.

I didn't catch the price on these rags, but wouldn't it be fun to buy a few, take them to Puerto Rico and take pictures of people wearing them while filling plastic jugs with water, cooking over fire pits, etc.? Then we splatter them all over the innertubz while we still can.

or is it?

WASHINGTON—Saying the current disapproval would soon give way to support, House Speaker Paul Ryan was confident Thursday that the American people will warm up to the new tax plan once they realize life is a cruel and meaningless farce. “Although it may not be very popular now, I’m certain that Americans will come around to this new system when they begin to understand the ruthless absurdity of existence,” said Ryan, explaining that once taxpayers see that there is no objective moral framework in the unforgiving chaos of the universe, they will learn to appreciate what this bill actually does. “I think many voters will find a lot in this tax overhaul that they can embrace when it finally dawns on them that they have no agency and it’s futile to resist entropy. We just need to keep hammering home to average folks that our time here on Earth is a joke with no punchline.” At press time, Ryan said that once Americans accepted the brutality and pointlessness of life, they’d be just as amenable to gutting Medicare.
