Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C190817 11/03/2022 Conservative Solutions for Missouri PAC Rex Sinquefield 244 Bent Walnut Lane Westphalia MO 65085 None Retired 11/3/2022 $25,000.00

[emphasis added]

Conservative solutions? They have a plan. Distract. Dismantle.

A conservative solution is an oxymoron.

On the ballot: Qui tacet consentire videtur, ubi loqui debuit ac potuit

abortion, election, missouri, protest, Roe v Wade, Warrensburg

July 2, 2022 – in Warrensburg, Missouri:

It was never just about banning abortion. It’s about power and control.

Vote accordingly.

Definitely a deal breaker

4th Congressional District, Donald Trump, endorsement, facebook, Fascist pig, Mark Alford, right wingnut, social media

Missouri’s 4th Congressional District has the potential to get out of the frying pan and…get right back into it.

Mark Alford (r) [August 2022 file photo]..

Yesterday:

Mark Alford

Today I was driving through the Grandview triangle when I got a phone call from a strange number. The woman on the other end asked if this was Mark Alford and then told me President Trump wanted to speak with me.
We talked for about five minutes and had a great conversation about the sad state of our country and what we need to do to take back America.
I’m honored to have his endorsement.
[….]

Did he grab Mark by the pussy? Just asking.

A couple of responses differing from hundreds of others posted by members of the cult:

[….]I don’t “hate” anyone even Trump. And you saying “he said stupid things but his policies were better”… those policies apparently include inciting riots, encouraging hate and injury to those who do not agree with him. Stealing classified documents and lying about it. Admiration for other country’s evil tyrannical “presidents ” like Kim Jong-Un and Jair Bolsonaro. He’s delusional and wants to be a dictator which is why he has managed to brainwash so many into believing that he did not lose the 2020 election.

And liking or not liking Mark Alford has nothing to do with it. Mark claims to be a Christian man with Christian morals and values, if that is the case then being supported by Trump should be the last thing he’d want. Trumps values/morals do not align with those that Mark claims.

I’m not a republican nor a Democrat and I’ve voted for each at different times in the past. Personally I feel we need to get away from the aged, on the verge of dementia candidates we’ve been given as choices. We need to rise above MAGA and Trump mentality or face another civil war because of the hate encouraged by it.

That’s embarrassing you would support and believe anything that horrible man says. Booooo

All of the other responses, not so much.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

On the ballot: Is it a bit too much to want to stay alive?
