Nice that Mayor Pete had time to vacation in Europe while forcing rail workers to go without sick days
[….]
4:46 PM · Dec 14, 2022
A few of the responses:
Secretary Pete. Acting like his trip was a defining reason for anything regarding rail workers is crap.
The day you choose the side of workers will be your first.
You’re a seditionist and a child? Go figure.
Keep Pete’s name out of your mouth Running Man.
Can we assume in solidarity with the rail workers you are never taking a vacation, Comrade?
Solidarity forever.
Pretending you care about workers. Hahahaha
Why did the right vote against rail workers? Also, we’re all allowed to take vacations.
Nice to see that have plenty of sick time so you can troll all day.
That would be Secretary Pete, you pathetic showboat.
And yet, he was still working. Can’t say the same for you and the other traitors.
Remember that time after encouraging people to storm the Capitol, you ran like a coward from those same people?
Republicans don’t care about sick days for rail workers. They just wanted to trick unions into hurting the supply chain with a strike so they make all unions the bad guys. Republicans don’t want people to unionize or to have reasonable benefits.
There’s that.
Hahaha! Pete scares you. Hahaha!
Can you sponsor a bill to ensure every worker in the US has sick days?
The sad part is that you know what you are doing.
Obviously, you have no shame.
The Republican insurrectionist now wants us to believe he cares for the American worker [….]
Since when do you care about workers rights? Jog on, you’re good at that.
That’s Secretary Buttigieg, Josh.
It was Republicans who voted down sick days. And he’s the Transportation Secretary.
Also nice that Pete worked during his vacation. Hard working dems is what this country needs more of!
so people aren’t allowed to take vacation? Perhaps we should look into how many vacation days you’ve used vs how much actual work you’ve done
I guess you don’t take vacations
Hey, remember that one time you ran away from an angry mob you helped incite? Good times, Joshy.
How does this tweet help the residents of Missouri?
You sound both desperate and jealous. You are a sad little man
You have no standing here, you anti-union bootlicking corporate shill.
There’s that.
You sound like you wanted a railroad strike.

There is something wrong at the Pentagon. And I’m not willing to just look the other way
4:32 PM · Dec 13, 2022
Some of the responses:
Maybe run the other way? Worked for you before.
But will you RUN the other way?
Because history suggests you will, closeted coward.
Will you run the other way?
…but when it comes to corruption within the GOP, we can’t get you to do the same critical assessment.
Grifters gotta grift.
But you’re willing to look the other way about #Jan6thInsurrection because you helped inspire it.
You have been looking away your entire life.
Remember when you ran the other way?
Where ya running too now?
Joshey, as a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, I just want to say that words cannot express the disdain I feel for you and the role you played in degrading the confidence that Americans have in the ability of state and local governments to run secure elections. U suck, literally
No but you will RUN the other way [….]
Bless your heart.
Heh.
You look the other way every day when it comes to 1/6. Traitor.
Doesn’t seem to bother you when you look in the mirror.
There is something wrong with you. No dignity at all. Arguably the worst choice for senate ever. You should resign.
Will you also investigate 1. why Trump felt compelled to push for the release of FIVE THOUSAND Taliban prior to US withdrawal from Afghanistan? 2. Trump role in Jan 6th 3. Trump attempts to overturn election results in states 4. Trumps family enriching themselves during his term
For the next two years Josh will be working on consituent services and naming post offices.

Looks like Americans will have a blue Christmas thanks to Bidenflation raising the costs of Christmas presents, Christmas dinner, and Christmas stocking stuffers by 8%. This is caused by the Grinch in the White House’s irresponsible spending and destructive energy policies.

As American households face tough sledding due to rising inflation costing them more than $700 a month, families have no choice but to cut back on holiday shopping and even forgo basic expenses. We can only hope the president reverses course soon to return Christmas joy.

Some of the responses:
Shouldn’t you be crying about people marrying who they love???
Done. And done.
looks like your nephew won’t be getting you any christmas presents either?
You’re a disgrace.
Well, we’re not going to be paying your salary pretty soon, so that’s a good start, IMO. [….]
Homophobe
Are you going to cry about it, Vicky?
Hi Vicky Hartzler’s social media intern. Just wanted to let you know that there are better things you could be doing with your life.
Heh.
Oh boo hoo [….] if Christmas costs are normally even $1000 this is only $80 higher. And higher wages offset part or all of this.
Please detail what you consider excessive spending and destructive energy policies. Our gas today is $2.45 in Lee’s Summit
Complaining is not the same thing as legislating. Looks like your legislating days are over, though.
You seem upset. Please tell us you’re not going to cry.
Boo Hoo. Gay marriage and NOW more expensive Christmas presents? My word, do you feel a fainting spell coming on?
I’m from Missouri. The fact you’re such a hate filled homophobe isn’t surprising at all. You and your ilk are a big part of why I no longer live there. I grew up in a Catholic family with all the religious things. You’re not “Christian”, you’re a hate filled bigot. have a seat.
As a Christian you should know Christmas isn’t about presents. Also as a Christian you should love everyone as He loves you. So why do you post things like this?
We all know that inflation does not happen in a short period of time.
Have u stopped crying over gay marriage yet…???
Cry harder loser
Who needs family this holiday season where there is opportunity for political division? To vote to against their love.. talk about a grinch [….]
America saw How despicable you are against family values, and full of hate for people that are different than you. My son’s marriage to his husband and their children Is as strong as a family unit as I’ve ever seen. Stop shoving your distorted egocentric, values on others.
It’s a real shame seeing family turn their backs on family so says your nephew. Don’t apply your fictitious bible readings on those who aren’t part of your little book club.
Your calling Biden the grinch? You are the witch trying to take rights away from humans so work on yourself honey.
Give it a rest or go cry on the house floor and we can laugh again at how ridiculous you are.
You DO know that inflation is GLOBAL right? I mean, as a public servant, you’d think that you’d read up on what is happening outside your narrow POV.
Considering you think xmas is just about presents, dinner, and stockings, sounds like you’re the grinch.
Quite a signoff.

Faux News? Really?
“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.
Some of the responses:
You’re bad for Missouri
Who has been paying your travel expenses?
Apparently winning the election has further encouraged you to embarrass both Missouri and yourself. [….]
My friend was 43. She died 14 days after returning from the Covid infested swamp that is Florida. But her 7 and 5 yr old have great pictures to remember her by. I blame ppl like you. Trump admitted to Bob Woodward, on tape, that he downplayed the virus. Ppl died bc of you ppl.
Wait – don’t tell me: you leave out cookies for Santa Claus?
Quite the Fox regular.
Without a hint of irony, Schmitt says Fauci used his “signature condescension.” What a fricking hypocrite. He deposed Fauci for 7 hours and came away with nothing. Heckuva lawyer.
“high priest of COVID tyranny”
You are such a joke.
nah! Dr Fauci is a true HERO. BTW Q did u meet POLIO?
What a joke you are, and what a joke Missouri is for electing such a ridiculous clown. You should be sued for all the taxpayers’ money you’ve blown on your antics.
You’re a d disgrace and wasting time and money for this dumb political theater.
Why don’t you do something that will actually improve people’s lives?
Says noted medical expert. Oh wait
U r a frkn moron…get bent!
Most would say YOU were the high priest of Covid tyranny!! YOU sir, a “lawyer” attempted to override the advice of MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS during a GLOBAL pandemic to boost YOUR senate run. It was your ONLY platform. You’re a freaking disgrace. Get lost.
It’s hard to find descriptors for what a terrible person you are
Many come to mind.
Oh, you mean the scientist who served under 7 presidents but you somehow believe you’re better informed? [….]
What an embarrassment to Missouri.
You, Hawley and Trump are the high priests of fascist Constitution canceling.
This is really kooky rhetoric.
Sheesh…
High priest of covid tyranny..
Just nutty.
Actually, buddy, I wonder if it’s possible to figure out how many Missourians died or developed long COVID as a result of your ridiculous lawsuits. Unlike you, Fauci saved lives.
To Dems, Dr. Fauci is just a respected doctor and scientist. It’s Republicans who throw religion and politics into the discussion to obscure the truth. “High priest” ??? It’s SCIENCE, not voodoo. Stop being an embarrassment to our state.
Dr Fauci saved millions of lives. You are a disgusting human being and I’m ashamed you will be my senator
I’m sorry you’re so stupid
Who was running the country at the time, you morons?
Oh, fuck every single way off with this horseshit.
You do realize that science evolves right and so do recommendations. Just think of all the families that could have been affected by death and Dr Fauci saved them. You are a fool and prove it daily.
What an irrelevant idiot you are. Clearly you have no idea about medicine or actual responsibility
You’re a fcking moron and an embarrassment to Missouri

Actually, Mark…isnt it time we actively opposed the #GQPTraitorsToDemocracy and their attack on our freedoms?
The phone call is coming from inside the House.
Really? have you heard of the separation of church and state? This is why you should not have been elected.
Praying for you Mark. Remember the Adversary Satan will be stalking you constantly especially in replies to posts you make on Twitter and Facebook.
the idea that Mark is some sort of “holy warrior” in his battle against his “Adversary Satan,” especially on social media of all places, is incredibly hilarious. y’all are straight up delusional.
