4th Congressional District, conspiracy theories, former newsreader, Mark Alford, right wingnut, social media

Today, from Mark Alford (r):

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 17, 2024]
Saturday’s attempted assassination of President Trump came AFTER the Secret Service reportedly stepped up its security measures.
How could this have happened?
The American people deserve answers, and they will get them.
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

REGISTERED REPUBLICAN shooter, all is not well in the Republican Party. Not at all.

[….] Father a registered Republican
Mother a registered Democrat. This was going to be the first time this kid voted.

[….] He was a registered Republican.

[….] he could have done that just to vote against someone in the Republican primary.

[….] Pennsylvania has closed primaries, meaning a registered Republican can only vote on the Republican primary ticket. Try again.

[….] exactly. So he was voting for someone else instead of Trump. [….] It’s been done often.

And how would anyone know?

[….] shooter was a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

[….] DJT registered as a Republican but is a Fascist.

The FBI and Secret Service are corrupt. Remember the cocaine?

Sure we will. There is NO TRUTH in DC. Only cover ups and lies.

Stepped up security. RIGHT. They gave all the security to Jill Biden. They are not fooling the American people.

[….] So … the beans are spilled on the CRISIS ACTORS in suits surrounding #PutinsBitch!

[….] And 87,000 additional IRS agents armed. Makes sense, right?

[…..] That’s not true. Research it. Those IRS agents due to be hired are replacing retiring staff, and range from desk clerks, to the mail room, to data entry clerks, to actual field agents. There are not going to be 87K armed IRS agents, that’s another Republican lie, and indicative of what is wrong with the Republican party. Learn the actual truth and stop adding to the problem by posting incendiary lies.

Total BS , just another hoax to draw attention away from the real planners of the assassination, the deep state and higher level secret service

Tin foil.

Iran wasn’t behind this. A lonely American citizen that helped old people and saw no hope for his own future did this.
What does American politics say about leaders who do not serve their jobs and roles?

[….] LOL. No. YOU are either shockingly naive or ignorant of truth. It’s not a Party issue. We have a PEOPLE problem. If you look at history (which is amazingly and historically full of people AND weaponry,) you will find that folks didn’t just willy nilly go into schools/places of worship/pick your place, and arbitrarily kill the innocent. This has become a huge issue since we started giving too much credence to people’s narcissistic leanings.

Check out Bill Eigel, Republican candidate for governor in Missouri….he’s using a flamethrower in his ads, and vowed to keep using it, even after that staged event….

[….] she’s an uptight ignorant gash that hates America.

[….] Also, the HATE SPEECH Bill Eigel promotes in those ads is beyond the pale. Openly screaming hate and division. He’s totally unfit to serve in any capacity.

[….] Is that why Traitor Trump supporters fly swastika flags, and Confederate flags? Because they love America?

[….] good as those are the smart ones that love seeing Americans prosper. Unlike you angry liberal fascit dipfocs that hate America.

[….] Ummm, again, fascism is a right-wing ideology….can you dress yourself?

[….] another ignorant post by an ignorant gash.

[….] Cry harder, MAGAt! Your tears are delicious!

[….] you and your liberal douchenozzle will be crying in Nov when your pedophile hero Biden loses.

No chance we are getting any answers. FBI leading the way—they have been trying to get him locked up for a couple of years. SS won’t answer any questions publicly because they know how bad it is. Either they were in on it or it was botched beyond belief. Either way, not good moving forward for the country.

That was a step up? I’m not LE- my husband is and is an FBI Academy graduate and we saw mistake after mistake- his protection wasn’t even close to the protection they claim. This makes me very nervous about our country’s security! Do better!

Protection sucked

JD Vance & Mike Johnson will send weak minded Trump to the golf course and then take over !

If they was stepping it up there would have been drones !!
And a ladder should have been a clue.

We got it. No need to keep up the repetitive posts unless you’re trying to keep people angry.

Defund them like you’re threatening to do to the FBI? Like you did the IRS?

What are Vance’s connections to Peter Thiel? [….]

Well, duh. Thanks Captain Obvious.

I think the Secret Service got some ‘splainin’ to do!

The American people, mentally cognitive ones anyway, already know what happened. For nine years trump has promoted violence, cheered on violence, and reveled in it’s afterglow. And violence answered his call. Had UT been anyone but trump you would have dropped a one time post, maybe offered “thoughts and prayers,” and let it at that.

[….] if it had been biden it would have been derision and jeers, much like when pelosi’s husband was attacked.

[….] I think you mean Biden and all his murderous cronies!

[….] how about all of the calls from the left to assinate Trump, but yeah it was all him you dumb ass! Wake up!!

[….] calling people names is what we expect from Republicans, but that does not mean it is acceptable.

[….] like you guys don’t call us names every single day…..racists, homophonic, etc…stfu

[….] we don’t want him to become a martyr. Out of sight, earshot and mind would be great, just not a martyr for you all.

[….] and he is a racist, misogynistic, a crook, a liar, an adjudicated sexual predator, adulter and a fornicator. He’s not a Christian and he certainly isn’t qualified to lead anything but his cult.

I’d be more concerned with finding out why a Republican, with a legally purchased AR, tried to kill him.
But yeah. It’s the Secret Services fault.

[….] he had ties to Antifa, he had recently donated to actblue, and it was his father’s gun. Yes, it was the Secret Service’s fault.

[….] 2021, 15 dollars to a Super PAC, and actually a 68 year old man in Pittsburgh with a similar name made the donation. The kid was pure MAGA.
Why do you guys never take pride in trying to start your Civil War? JAN 6 was some of your best work. Then deny. At least the Southern Democrats of the 1860’s took pride in their work.

[….] lame! But go ahead and try to use that. He donated to the Democrats before registering as a Republican. What’s the point here? He was a delusional mutant. He took some shots at a former president and murdered innocents in the process. He’s dead and his Creator has judged him. What’s the point in regard to his political affiliation?? There is no point!

[….] I feel sorry for people like you!

[….] because I think the cause should be investigated? I feel sorry for you only wanting to hate.

[…] not hating just wish you would use common sense but I know that is impossible!

[….] common sense? Wanting to know why is as common sense as it gets.
Of course common sense would also imply that you are as purple as I, but we both know you are stuck in a political movement bent on civil war.

[….] yes he registered as republican but he was not a republican. He is not part of the MAGA movement! There is much more going on than we are being told! And yes it was the Secret Services fault for not securing that building! Period!!!

It’s a cult.

[….] that Secret Service detail was hand picked by Trump. Every one a Trump loyalist. They have even been accused of deleting phone messages to help Trump. Now you want us to believe those very same loyalist tried to kill him.
I don’t think you actually know what common sense is.

[…] wrong again! You know what you are going to believe what you want and that is your right! I will pray for you!!!

[….] Father a registered Republican
Mother a registered Democrat. This was going to be the first time this kid voted.

[….] yup. And in MAGA world, a woman’s opinion doesn’t matter. If dad’s republican, so is the rest of the family. It’s those Christian values.

[….] DJT is a Republican on paper, but really a fascist.

[….] and it is – their job is to PROTECT they failed!

[….] if we assume it was legit. Like 9/11, Sandy Hook, Kennedy (J and R).
By the way. I’m still waiting for Obama to take my guns. Or was it Clinton? Carter? Who knows?

[….] I have a question for those agents….Why did they help Traitor Trump stage that? And why were they willing to let a MAGAt with a gun, kill another MAGAt and wound 2 more?

[….] Trump is not a Traitor and did not stage this. There were so many innocence one killed two in critical condition. Only an idiot would think that and I was a Democrat. Shaking my head.[….] The gun mans father was a registered Republican and mother a registered Democrat. This would have been his first time voting for the shooter. ( son )

[….] wait until the investigation is complete instead of making up stupid stuff that’s in your mind. We are all human beings no matter what your political views are. I’m very sorry a husband/father was killed and two others in critical condition. I’m also thankful that Donald Trump was not hurt any worse or killed. Killing should not be condoned for anyone.

That’s wrong….he got 2nds for sure…look at the lady who can’t even holster her gun…or short people….seriously….DEI, and corrupt secret service for sure…prob. Cia and others in involved too…come on….a roof, a ladder, a gun, parked over 1/2 mile away, everyday people saw the guy( not trained) No one is buying this bs

Republican Shooter
Over and over again, here, too, the shooter is the one
Who’s registered Republican, and had a legal gun,
He took some extra magazines, he’s Christian, male, and white,
And thinks that shooting people that he doesn’t like is right.
The magats should embrace this young man in their brotherhood
He got a gun and ammunition as they say he should,
He took a stand, did what he planned, all great right-wing routine
You’d think that they’d embrace him and his black AR-15.
And though he was Republican, this shooter seeking change,
Spent too much time on politics instead of at the range.
Republicans will never vote for any gun control
But here’s a chance to make them show the hardness of their soul:
The Democrats should introduce a bill to great renown
“The Donald Trump Gun Safety Act”, and make them vote it down…..]

[….] just like they did Kyle Rittenhouse, you don’t take an AR15 with you to provide medical assistance. That punk got away with murder. You know your poster boy Republicans!!!

Gosh so many conspiracy theories, how about this one trump and cronies set the whole thing up and holly rollers were the main makers of the plans ,so we can be United as a country that was not never founded by by Christians and want this country was built under a white nationalist Christianity who brought salves over to America then regretted it later and the bible be taught in schools if that child refusing not to go to such a class the gallows will be waiting for him so they are making plans to deport people with all names that sound like they are from anywhere south of the borders housing problems fixed it’s only a conspiracy theory man made ideology the GOP have for us higher taxes for us less for the rich to make the wealthiest wealthier [….]long list 900 pages read it project 2025

Congressman Mark Alford so you blame the Secret Service, solely due to the fact that they are part of the Department of Homeland Security, which is run by Mayorkas? What about the pathetic security from the Butler Police Department? Crooks was on top of the staging room for the Butler Police Department! Here’s video that shows that Crooks was spotted lurking around way before the shooting! You are a complete disgrace to the US House of Representatives!

campaign finance, David Wasinger, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission, right wingnut

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for one of the six republicans running for Lieutenant Governor:

C242714 07/15/2024 Wasinger For Missouri David Wasinger 1401 S Brentwood Blvd Ste 875 St Louis MO 63144 Wasinger Daming LC Attorney 7/15/2024 $1,000,000.00

[emphasis added]

That’s $2,600,000.00 since February. It’ll be interesting to see how that works out per vote in the primary.

Dave Wasinger is the only America First conservative running for Lieutenant Governor of Missouri. As Lieutenant Governor, Dave will take a hammer to the Jefferson City establishment and the career do-nothing politicians and deliver a conservative agenda and real opportunities for the next generation of Missourians.

A lifelong Missourian, Dave was born and raised in Hannibal, the small town where Mark Twain lived as a boy and was inspired to write of the enduring Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. In Hannibal, Dave and his siblings were raised by hard-working parents, who instilled small town conservative values of Christian faith in God, respect for law enforcement, honor for our veterans, protecting the unborn, love of family, and the value of hard work in Dave.

[….]

How nice. The same as everyone else running in the primary.

Donald Trump, fascists, J.D. Vance, right wingnuts

Maybe someone should ask him. He’s been kind of quiet lately.

J.D. Vance @JDVance1
[July 13, 2024]
Today is not just some isolated incident.

The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.

That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.

It’s amazing what some people will say to try and get a promotion.

“No, no, no, don’t think of it as work. The whole point is just to enjoy yourself.”

Fascist pig, Josh Hawley, social media, U.S. Senate, Virginia

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 14, 2024]
Hawley Demands Full-Scale Investigation by Congress into Attempted Assassination of President Trump
[….]

There are responses:

But isn’t this EXACTLY what y’all wanted?? Guns for EVERYONE? Isn’t this supposed to make us “FREE”??

Senator Hawley this needs to be swiftly investigated. Something stinks here.

[….] Yeah, two people are dead. That really stinks.
Now if you are thinking some big time conspiracy and BS like that. Nope.
Not everyone likes Trump or his desire to be king of the U.S and his lies and unfortunately some of those people are crazy or so scared of his and the republican party turning our country into some kind of taliban type country that they took a pot shot at him and missed and killed two people.
Unfortunately the crazy that killed those two people had absolutely every right to own the rifle he used, because the republican party stops any kind of gun control every chance they get to get people to vote for them. So whose fault do you think that those two people are now dead? If you say Biden I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure stupid crazy people can’t own guns. So people like you don’t take a pot shot at Biden and miss and kill a couple of more people.

[….] you’re delusional, take a pill.

[….] No dear I’m stating facts. I know your cult doesn’t believe in facts, but belief and facts are two different things. You think I’m delusional and I know you are certifiable. See the difference. Your statement proves in fact you are.

[….] you can be as delusional as you like but kid you need to pull your head out of the sand before you suffocate. [….] You have Trump deranged syndrome to the point that you’re not mentally nor emotionally well. Lay off of Facebook for a while. Put off trolling until you pull yourself back together.. it will always be there for you later. Save your emotional strength for when Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States . January 2025 [….]

[….] Trump does hate rhetoric every time he opens his mouth. But karma came back at him

[….] then have your mommy change your diaper, and wrap the used one around your head to protect you from government mind control.

[….] White, Radicalized, Violent and Republican, what else do you need to know.

[….] why don’t you ask Kamala, Waters, Schumer, and others why they incitingiolence and bailing criminals out of jail.

[….] I am getting fund raising emails based on this assassination attempt which kind of makes me think, can it be a setup, inside job. Although I don’t think it is. Biden suspended all TV advertisement and fund raising immediately until further notice.

[….] then take away the crazy democrats guns that can do that. Like nick cruz the satanist and the transgender woman that shot up the Nashville Christian school. Keep trying to spin that it’s republicans doing these shootings.

[….] Thomas Matthew Crooks was a white, radicalized, violent, Republican. How about you sweep your own steps.

[….] registered doesn’t mean he was. Closed states encourage opposite registration to help eliminate certain candidates in the primaries!

[….] yep, shooter was Republican. Always on the right.

[….] who? The registered republican shooter? The secret service and FBI who seem to support trump? The republican ex- president, who, even after being grazed by a bullet, shoves his fist in the air, shouting “fight, fight, fight”? The republican party that refuses to participate in any gun reform legislation?

[….] Thomas Matthew Crooks was a white violent radicalized, Republicans, you should sweep your own steps before karma does.

[….] the shooter was a registered Republican.

The FBI should be the last agency in charge of investigating this!!

Get the recordings from SS coms

They can’t deny it was an inside job.

I want Josh as VP!

[….] To do what? To support another coup attempt.

If you see any Christian nationalists quoting scripture and talking about how God protected Donald Trump, remind them about how the Book of Revelation talks about The Beast (the Antichrist) gets wounded in the head and gets back up again. I can assure you as a theologian that your biblical interpretation would be as sound as theirs.

[….] and you will know that the prophecies surrounding the antichrist has not been fulfilled by trump.

[….] LMFAO. OMG I can’t with the stupidity of you morons. You buy Bibles, shoes, trading cars, you believe me he is 6′ 2″ and 215 pounds, when he’s 5’8 and 350.pounds. [….]

[….] Remind the readers along with yourself, the antichrist would reveal himself, claiming to be the messiah.
Please stop with the divisive rhetoric, especially when you’re not filled with the spirit, otherwise you’d have the discernment needed to understand Trump is far from the antichrist

This should be a time for all Americans to come together. We are a untied people. We solve our problems by voting and in front of a jury of 12 Americans. This is our way . Our way the path of Peace. We must stop using words like ‘Leftist to Commie . We need to stop using words that divide our great people .

[….] no, the guns over people party has been pushing for gun voice for decades, it’s time one of you felt the results and not kids you like to target.

[….] what country do you live in ?

Could the answer be that just like in Missouri, open carry is legal in Pennsylvania? I understand that several people called the police about 7 minutes before the shot was taken and there was no action because just like in Missouri, it’s not a crime until they shoot someone. You can call the police and say, “Hey, there is a man with a gun and I think he is going to kill someone,” but you can’t expect a response because it’s not a crime and your feelings don’t matter. These are GOP laws.

It is not the job of Congress to investigate crime, but is there some reason you think this will not be fully investigated? Good heavens, man. “Josh…master of the obvious.” And “Anything to get ME noticed!”

If unredacted information is not released, a proper inference is that people in authority are involved.

Yes they need to get to the source

[….] Nope, they need to quit being the lowest rated non doing for the working class leaders in Congress. Let the agencies that no how to run an investigation figure out what happen.

Prayers for President Trump and family and all those who support him. I believe the leftist are planning evil for him. Thank you Senator Josh Hawley.[….]

Well they are a malignancy. It’s like a national infestation or pestilence..

[….] you cheered for Rittenhouse, why is this conservative teenager any different?

Go away Josh… just have to jump in for your 15 minutes of fame!!

A full investigation of security measures around the rally and an investigation of how Judge Cannon got appointed to the classified documents case needs to happen.

[….] This man couldn’t take charge of a Kindergarten school play. The hell!

Funny how you are always demanding something and nothing ever seems to get done, don’t you think Hawley.
Still not voting for you Hawley.

FBI is corrupt will not do a good job

Ane we’ve all seem the success of republican investigations….

The guy that gave the power sign to the rioters who were attacking police and trying to hang Mike Pence on Jan-6. Get out of my party son and take trump with you.

Yes, please list all those that have bragged about or called for violence in the last 8 years!
Start with, “I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue”
Include the Hertitage Foundation “bloodless revolution” comments.
And those that raise fists during an insurrection!

so you think the secret service cannot do their job? you think the fbi and the local police cannot figure out what happened. you can count on congress investigating this without your demand. there are just too many people who want their name in the news for congress to decide not to investigate. HINT if you want a real investigation, keep mtg, boebert and yourself off these committees because none of you will investigate. you 3 always use your question time to make statements or harangue witnesses.

Incite violence and you get violence.

As long as YOU do not stand against violence as a threat if things do not go your way, you stand for it, hawley. We do not need a biased investigation as much as we need people like you to say. “NO MORE VIOLENCE. It solves nothing and makes more problems. You, your party and your party’s leader and every other politician, need to be vocal about stopping violence every time anyone makes any kind of threat or anything that makes violence seem to be useful. As a Democrat, I say that everyone in the public eye, needs to do this, no exceptions, over and over till we can get along without killing each other.

TRUMP sends out a message every day and sometimes multiple messages on his Truth Social page. Here is some of the words and phrases he uses. “Bring out the guns, I have a secret weapon. Send them to their graves. Total annihilation, demolish the deep state, there’s going to be World War 3. He called Nancy Pelosi a terrorist and a lunatic he called Joe Biden corrupt . he said immigrants are poisoning our blood coming from Africa. if I don’t get elected there’s going to be a bloodbath we need to fight, fight and fight, They are animals, they are rapists, they are killers. We might have to suspend the United States Constitution.” a new era in our history will soon begin.. knock them down. Throw them out! ( Do you think these words will promote violence in some weak minded people?)

Donald Trump has been the accelerant to hatred and violence from the moment he announced his presidency. He has encouraged hate groups and political violence. He opened the gate to insurrection. As far back as 2015, Trump has been connected to documented acts of violence, with perpetrators claiming that he was even their inspiration. Dozens of people enacted violence in Trump’s name in the years before the Capitol attack. His message has been hate and harm so why is anyone surprised that it has found him?
Biden has vehemently condemned this attack whereas Trump has a long history of encouraging violent attacks.

Already being investigated. More grandstanding by Ol’ Fist Pump.

No investigations into children slaughtered in their seats in schools?

I demand an investigation into your role in the January 6 attack on our peaceful transfer of power.

He was an angry white republican. You have your answer.

The left has tried everything to get rid of Trump, they may not have pulled the trigger but they’re rederick and lies are responsible for it!!

[….] I hate it when they’re rederick gets in the way of a fruitful conversation.

[….] a registered white Republican shot him.

[….] We don’t have to. Trump does it himself by committing crimes.

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion. You swore an oath!!! Remember that next time you falsely claim we’re a Christian Nation, we’re NOT!!!

Why doesn’t Senator #TRE45ON-Weasel just sit-back and let The United States Department of Justice do THEIR job?
Why does he feel the urge to try to ‘micromanage’ the FBI and associated entities, after all his attempts to *stonewall* investigations into January 6th?

[….] because it is election year and he has done anything in 5.5 years and he wants people to think that he actually works for the people of Missouri.

We need an independent counsel to investigate the security breach at this anti-American rally immediately.

Do that after you investigate your involvement in Jan 6th. Investigate why Trump’s name shows up so many times on Epstein’s plane records. Investigate the meeting Trump had with a Russian official in the WH with no reporters in the room. Investigate who deleted secret service phone records. Investigate SCOTUS pay to play schemes. Investigate the American reporter who was killed on Trump’s watch. Investigate the deal that Trump made with the Taliban. Investigate why Trump made a deal to close several oil refineries now making it hard for us to refine oil. Investigate why he took the vac but told American people not to. Investigate how his son in law was able to leave the office with 2 Billion from the Saudis. I could go on and on. If you have time after you investigate those, then waste your time investigating the incident. It will be a waste of time because the secret service and feds would have already done their investigation. The Congress is made up of
a bunch of do nothing political hacks. You sir are the biggest disgrace in history.

God Bless our President Donald J. Trump! God bless you too for your work for our country, Josh Hawley!! Time to take these evil ones out. Could you be a VP pick? Would be a good one.

If you needed any further confirmation the other side is violent,crazy,morons .. read their lib deflections and moronic talking points here
Enjoy Nov libs!

God bless the 2nd Amendment! Everyone gets a gun in America! God bless America!

Thank You Senator Hawley!! I hope whoever put an hit on Trump and killing one and wounding two other needs to be accountable. From what a lady had to say that was close to those injured there would have to be two doing shooting. Hopefully they look into that. Again thanks for all you do.

LMAO. INSIDE JOB. Not enough guns?

Political violence and advocating political violence is never acceptable. Josh promotes violence with his support for insurrectionists and his refusal to support the legal transfer of power in an election. How about those Capital Police that were injured Josh while you ran away??

Was Matthew Crooks brainwashed by the CIA? Many persons, smarter than me, find it strange that the shooter could climb on top a house roof and shoot, without Secret Service ever checking the house? This story by President Biden does not pass the smell test, about UNITY behind Biden and allowing 20 million illegal immigrants to vote in November? Somebody needs to advise Trump to return to Florida and stay under Governor DeSantis protection until November election. Is it true explosives were found in Crooks vehicle? Trump should not personally attend the Republican Convention, but communicate by live visual connection. My opinion.

Oh sure, when school kids are massacred you say “get over it.” What a worthless piece of garbage!

Josh you are a TOTAL WASTE.

Another grandstanding opportunity for Josh. This guy has done little to lower the temperature of hate in America. He raises it on a daily basis and before you all get started I’m not Republican or Democrat. I’m independent and vote for what makes sense. Lately that’s not been much of that on the Democrat or Republican side…just be a good human being.

Thoughts & Prayers (and YES Josh is still a dope)

You are such a dimwit. Any attempt on the life of a presidential candidate is swiftly investigated. You’re just trying to amp up outrage and that is certainly not what we need. We need cool heads while the investigation is underway. I hope you are not allowed to play with matches you light an inferno.
Why weren’t you demanding a swift and thorough investigation after January 6?
Why weren’t you demanding a swift and thorough investigation after the plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer?
Something stinks here you opportunistic parasite

And on…

In Hell Richard Nixon (r) is thinking he was a half-century too early.

In Stunning Decision, Judge Cannon Dismisses Trump Documents Charges
The Trump-appointed judge declared the appointment of Jack Smith as special counsel unconstitutional.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday dismissed Donald Trump’s classified documents indictment, ruling that special counsel Jack Smith had been unconstitutionally appointed.

If Cannon’s stunning decision withstands appeal, it would end what had long been considered the strongest and most “airtight” case against the former president. It involved Trump’s willful retention of top-secret documents after he left the White House and his repeated refusals to return the classified records.

[….]

The dismissal ruling, via Mother Jones:

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America. L’État, c’est moi.
