Montana, Maryland, Texas. What, they don’t have PACs they can contribute to in their own states?

Why Missouri?

Today:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
We’re in a fight to Save America.
If the Left wants to remake America, they’re going to have to take it from our cold, dead hands…

Let’s go fight. Let’s go win. Let’s go Brandon!” #CPAC2022 @CPAC #CPACFlorida #LetsGoBrandon

Asshat.

Some of the responses:

What America are you trying to “save”: controlling women’s healthcare, not teaching the real history about America, returning LGBT Americans to the closet, making sure people of color know their place, doing whatever Putin wants?

You know openly calling for a Civil War is sedition right? And the last time seditionists called for a Civil War, it didn’t work out so well for them. Just saying.

They already have a flag.

Missouri’s Attorney General openly and shamelessly advocating for deadly violence against other Americans who disagree with him.

Fascism has indeed arrived in America. It’s dressed in a suit and tie and speaks of patriotism while flanked in the colors of the American flag.

Dude, just say, “Fuck Joe Biden!” and quit being such weirdos about it.

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck you. Fuck your joke of a party. See how easy that was?

This is deeply embarrassing for you, and our state.

He doesn’t care.

Seldom have I seen such stomach-churning pandering. And the ‘let’s go Brandon’ is something you’d hear on an elementary school playground.

And you’re still going to lose to the pervert.

What is wrong with you? Has this type of verbiage and tactics ever created solutions for anyone? Look at Putin.

What’s with the Let’s go Brandon BS? It’s such a bore and none of you are as clever as you like to think you are when you say it. You’re just sounding like little children having a tantrum.

Why are you Republicans all so creepy? It’s like dealing with a H.S. Bully. You fools are losing your hair and you’re still name- calling your opponents. Probably cause you’re too stupid to inspire your base with ideas.

Got it. You renounce your oath to uphold the Constitution and the representative gov’t it defines, and instead, citizens who disagree with you politically will have to kill you if you don’t get your way.

RESIGN!

(“F-ck Joe Biden!”? Really? Are you an AG, or in high school?)

You sound like everyone else on your side. Just another rightwing Trumpster bending a knee to kiss his ring.

Idle threat from a Christian radical terrorist. That’s all you have. No policy, no solutions, nothing but fear propaganda and that people like me, constitutionally protected Americans, are the enemy. As the Ukrainians say to people just like you Go Fuck Yourself

A guy that proudly claims he is a patriot and a Christian threatens violence against other Americans and cheers fvck the President of the United States on a Sunday morning.

You are such an embarrassment for Missouri! Such an awful, awful man!

Create a false narrative and pretend to be the savior. What a discusting piece of shit. Missourians should be totally ashamed that this man is our AG.

You are an absolute embarrassment to this state. Your craven pandering to the lunatic fringe is so disgusting it defies description. That an elected official would actually put the crap in a tweet that you just did shows a complete lack of fitness for office. Oh and Fuck You

You’re insane. Calm the fuck down.

Holy shit! You’re a massive fucking embarrassment

Eryc Schmitt (r) is the current Attorney General of Missouri.

Joe Biden, Russia, Ukraine, War, White House

Putin and Russia’s war of choice.

From the White House, last night:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 23, 2022

Statement by President Biden on Russia’s Unprovoked and Unjustified Attack on Ukraine

The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering. Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable.

I will be monitoring the situation from the White House this evening and will continue to get regular updates from my national security team. Tomorrow, I will meet with my G7 counterparts in the morning and then speak to the American people to announce the further consequences the United States and our Allies and partners will impose on Russia for this needless act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security. We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance. Tonight, Jill and I are praying for the brave and proud people of Ukraine.

###

To Russia, with love

Today from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
And then Joe Biden wonders why tanks are rolling into Ukraine and no one takes him seriously
1:16 PM · Feb 23, 2022

“Россия” (Russiya) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

Hey, Josh, is this you?

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Russia? Biden thinks the biggest threat to US national security is Russia – not #China. Anybody who thinks that doesn’t have the judgment to be President

Johnny Verhovek @JTHVerhovek
Biden on @60Minutes: “I think the biggest threat to America right now in terms of breaking up…our security and our alliances is Russia. Secondly, I think that the biggest competitor is China.”
