“It’s a trap!”

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

The winner of the 2018 Todd Akin (r) Right Wingnut Campaign Memorial Award is:

Josh Hawley‏ @HawleyMO
Get real. I’m for contraception & women working. I’m against exploitation of women promoted for decades by Hollywood & culture. Have to change that to stop trafficking. Fly commercial home from your next Hollywood fundraiser & ask people what Hollywood is doing to our culture.
[….]
7:53 PM – 31 Jan 2018

By all means, step on the rake.

Some of the responses:

Have you ever heard of a guy by the name of Todd Akin?

[….]Josh is another anti-Christ “Christian”. He has never read his Bible. Read about David. Trafficking? That went on in Bible, slavery went on with white Christian men. Trump is a human trafficker, but he supports him. WE are not chattel or your hand maidens.

You and your buddy @ToddAkin have a lot in common in your ideas about women. Hopefully your fate ends up the same as his

Ouch! Oh snap, Joshua. You just got owned by @clairecmc

Whoa, cowboy.
Hey folks in Mizz, this Dope is an existential threat to gender equality and is already a fetid stain on your common sense reputation.
Drive him over to Bama and let him spoon with Judge Roy while you lock the gate behind him.

I have no interest in living in an America that thinks women do not have the same choices & rights as men.

Sorry josh “Todd akin” hawley game over

You have puritan views Josh.

Your attempt at insult would have more meaning if @clairecmc didn’t spend so much time in our great state. She’s got a pretty good track record of Town Halls addressing concerns by the people.

In 2017 Senator Claire McCaskill (D) held fifty open public town halls in Missouri. And Josh Hawley (r)?

whatever you say, ladder boy

Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Awww Josh you just managed to screw yourself. And people thought that kind of thing was physically impossible. Good for you.

“…I’m a Mizzou educated lawyer, but I can keep up. [laughter]…Now I know he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…”

Senator Claire McCaskill (D) [2017 file photo].

This evening, on Josh Hawley’s (r) world view, via Twitter from Senator Claire McCaskill (D):

Claire McCaskill‏ @clairecmc
I didn’t go to one of those fancy private schools, but the history I learned in public schools & Mizzou taught me that the evidence of trafficking of women for sex goes back to before 2000 BC. It didn’t begin with women’s rights and the birth control pill. @HawleyMo
5:53 PM – 31 Jan 2018

You hand Claire McCaskill a club and she’ll beat you with it. He’s getting schooled.

Some of the responses:

Where do the men in MO get their crazy ideas about women? They never get it right.

Church. #EmptyThePews

He got the Hawley shuffle goin’ right now…
Let’s watch the young jr. Birdman try to backpeddle on the Todd Aikin trail of masogyny.

Go get’em Claire!

PREACH IT CLAIRE

Amen to that.

At least @CourtlandSykes is in good company. Misogyny loves company…

He and soap opera character Courtland Sykes are entering into Todd Akins territory.

I am telling you people have lost their minds. It is like the rebirth of the Victorian era. Do you think Chasity belts are coming back?

There’s a reason why they call it the world’s oldest profession.

@clairecmc has been working. It’s @HawleyMO that seems to have lost interest in the job he was hired for.

Akin and then this assclown. Congrats on having no opponents.

It didn’t take long. Eric Greitens (r):

GoldenRule1‏ @cooperchip1
A few women slipped onto factory floor in Macon, Mo to remind the world that MO’s “family values” governor, Eric Greitens (R) is a bondage aficionado with women other than his wife. Fortunately for him, Trump provides cover. #Hypocrites

They’ve restocked.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission, for a republican PAC from a republican campaign committee:

As long as this is possible and common nothing will change.

Previously:

Campaign Finance: very interested (November 14, 2017)

Nevertheless, she persisted…

Last night via Twitter, from United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley (r):

Nikki Haley‏ @nikkihaley
I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it.
9:12 PM – 28 Jan 2018

All art is political.

Quit your day job.

Donald Trump, economic anxiety, flag of treason, missouri, Pettis County

In 2016:

State of Missouri – General Election, November 08, 2016
Pettis [County]
U.S. President and Vice President
19 of 19 Precincts Reported
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Timothy Michael Kaine Democratic 4,324 23.875%
Donald J. Trump, Michael R. Pence Republican 12,810 70.730%
[….]
Total Votes: 18,111

That’s a significant level of “economic anxiety”.

That “economic anxiety” is still on display this afternoon in central Missouri:
