I was taking Putin next if available.

Should have something in a few minutes.

In case anyone had him on their list, he is no longer eligible

I wasn’t planning on taking another businessman, but I just hate this guy so damn much that I couldn’t help myself.

Also representing his late, unlamented brother David:

Charles Koch

Another libertarian, free-marketeer, “drown the government in a bathtub” billionaire asshole. And if we just left it at that, probably not enough to make the list. But, of course, we’re not just leaving it at that.

Career lowlights:

  • Instrumental in creating and funding the Tea Party, a group devoted to burning the government to the ground.

  • Led the charge in climate denial, bankrolling a number of groups devoted to creating industry-friendly climate research designed to confuse and muddy public opinion. But only in the interest of science, you understand — certainly not to protect billions in oil money! When the planet becomes a furnace, you’ll have him to thank.

  • The money behind the heinous Right to Work laws that have virtually annihilated the labour movement in many states.

  • Took the most advantage of the Roberts Court’s reprehensible Citizens United decision to flood politics with dark money, mainly through the astroturfing Americans for Prosperity, to advance their preferred asshole candidates and asshole issues.

Oh, and his father made his money in part by doing business with the Nazis. (Allegedly.)

Putin was the other person Bob and I were discussing taking first overall.

Getting him at #11 is MASSIVE value.

Not allegedly. Daddy built refineries for Hitler AND Stalin, and founded the John Birch Society!

After a long time of selections that were nowhere near our top, Riverman and TN did some damage with the last four picks.

WRONG THREAD

Murdoch, in addition to a long trail of divorces and failed relationships, named none other than IVANKA TRUMP trustee of a $300 million trust fund for his kids with (alleged) Chinese spy Wendi Deng.

Finally! How the fuck did he drop this low? eyebooger was making a case for taking him first overall. I thought he was at worst second.

Slow pony lol

Koch is a good second round pick.

But man I’m loving my power rankings right now

I like the way True North thinks. Murdoch and Koch are vile, despicable and treacherous specimens and I despise both at a level that would be deemed unladylike. Obviously all the others suck too but I just particularly loathe them and wanted to vent.

Kissinger/Putin at #10/#11 is probably as strong as it gets

So 4 hours is up right?

I’d say we should be a little more lenient with regards to skipping people in the first 2 or 3 rounds.

That said, it has been 10 hours and he did take Goatse Man with his first round pick so…

It’s quite easy to be an asshole as a billionaire, world leader, politician or TV propagandist. However, to have the whole world in universal agreement about your assholeishness when you are none of those things and are seen/speak publicly so rarely is quite the feet.

Sepp just gives off that “I’m better than everyone else and I’ve never done anything wrong” feel

Among his accomplishments are accepting hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for allowing countries to host football tournaments around the globe, including the world cup. Oh and Sepp and FIFA are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of migrant workers that were forced to build the World Cup stadiums and accommodations in Qatar

As if he wasn’t a big enough asshole already, he has a history of putting his foot in his mouth

Sepp’s a good pick, probably wouldn’t have taken him this high but he was on my radar for later.
