“….It’s beyond time to deem certain groups as domestic terrorists, and be eradicated. Swiftly.
[….] Calling for ‘eradication’ of political enemies is exactly the kind of thinking that ends up in these situations.
[….] this situation did not occur for doing so, but the actions following an attempted assassination justifies those intolerable actions.
Good riddance.
[….] Every PoS Democrat who joked about or spoke of taking out Trump, including politicians should be rounded up and be investigated just like J6 for fomenting this….”
Yesterday, from Mark Alford (r):
Congressman Mark Alford
[July 13, 2024]
The heinous act we saw committed today at a rally for President Trump is nothing short of despicable. Political violence has no place here in the United States, the greatest country on Earth.
We appreciate the quick action of the Secret Service and other law enforcement officers. We ask everyone to join us in praying for the safety of President Trump and everyone who attended today’s rally.
The responses:
2A forever. He heard it loud and clear today.
I’m sure the irony of a staunch NRA supporter being shot at his own rally is lost on the MAGA crowd.
[….] troll.
[….] bot
Political violence has no place in the United States, but Mark Alford promotes this within hours of the attack. Not any mention of the person that was killed in the crowd. Just Mark Alford using political violence to promote his amazement.
[….]
[….] troll.
You didn’t condemn Trump for political violence.
Prayers for the spectator(s) who died. And the hero is the guy in the red visor who saw the gunman and alerted Secret Service
[….] The same SS who didn’t act until after the perp shot. They F’d up big time.
Joy Behar, Joy Reid, Nicole Wallace and Rachel Maddow [….] Threat to democracy [….]
[….] you misunderstand I didn’t say they say our democracy I said they say a threat to democracy. They upped their game lately implying he’s a threat to democracy possibly around the world [….]
[….] yes Biden is a threat
Violence is NEVER the way!!!!
[….] If the goal is publicity, it is working.
[….] How did we get the Civil Rights Voting Act Passed? How did we end the right to own slaves? How did we become a country? Violence is always the way and they know that and that’s why they don’t want us to do it.
Maybe it’s time to reflect on the dangerous rhetoric coming from our elected officials and return to civility.
Like Republicans?
[….] yes all just look at Alfords posts even worse on Twitter.
[….] Well, Musk does promote hate speech.
[….] Definitely staged….
[….] twitter is the only true News. ABC, NBC and CNN is propaganda. I wish people on the left would realize you are being brain washed!
Like him or not this is ridiculous. Prayers for the former and possibly next President of the United States. Great job by the Secret Service in getting him out of there. Problems need to be settled at the ballot box not at the end of a gun.
Violence doesn’t solve differences in the parties.
[….] never has and never will unfortunately
Political violence has no place…
Correct.
And what’s your stance on January 6?
[….] the summer of love!!??? J 6ers didn’t burn riot loot … No one used a gun … They were invited into the Capital … The only one shot was a US Vet….
[….] geez stop the hate! Trump had nothing to do with that!! A person got killed today! You’re so disrespectful!!
[….] people were killed on January 6th too and Trump was the reason the mob was there.
[….] that’s a lie, do some research. Yes an innocent unarmed veteran was killed by a White House security. Just saying research for the truth! Trump did not send them to hurt anyone!! He said go in peace!! Pelosi and the mayor would not bring in the national guard when Trump requested it!!
They hate Trump so much that they deliberately denied his request, blood is on their hands! And if you research Pelosi herself in a videotape that just came out admitted she should have filled Trumps request!
So get your facts right!
Trump haters are heartless, plain and simple, no need to waste your breath on them!
[….] Wet you panties elsewhere prog lemming.
If you condemn political violence, why are you bringing narrow religious idealism to the table Congressman Mark Alford?
Interesting how #MAGA, who could not have possibly cared less about gun violence against children in schools, concert goers, shoppers, people in nightclubs etc- are now outraged and want civil war because Trump got grazed by the shooter.
[….] guns don’t shoot by themselves. It’s people against people violence
[….] I haven’t heard any MAGA Republicans calling for civil war nor have I heard any asking for guns to be taken away from the citizens. Is this something you heard reported by the media or is this just your assumption? I have been watching different news sources since this happened and not once have I heard anyone reporting what you claim.
[….] you are an idiot.
[….] Dumbest comment ever.
[….] And you & those that “like” this comment perpetuate the inflamed rhetoric.
People need to stop hating! The left needs to Stop lying about Trump!!
[….] maybe Trump needs to quit lying about everything and hating. Trump spreads more hate than anyone
Quick action by the secret service? Multiple people told them there was someone on the building with a weapon. Social media is too quick. Not gonna be able to hide the evidence.
[….] It was an inside “lapse” for publicity. It was too far away for high chance of success. Gamblers got to gamble. His body guards should resign. He would sacrifice them.all.
[….] 200-300 is a chip shot for most of us big game hunters…shut up til you actually know something.
[….] and the left calls the right conspiracy theorists. Your comment is omplete and utter ignorance.
[….] Recent reports say 130 yards.
Minor miracle, IMO.
[….] Cool. Why was the rooftop left unsecured? Does Trump still use his own bodyguard like he did in the Whitehouse?
[….] I do not understand where you are going here.
Appears to be serious security failure.
[….] This with his mugshot need to be printed on millions of shirts [….]
[….] This says…. “I’m an idiot! Someone just tried to take my life, so let me stick my head out here and give them another chance at it!” And is so fake as the secret service should have never let it happen. Stupid photo op. We’ll see it on t shirts in about 3 seconds. [….]
[….] shut up you IDIOT!
[….] Just exercising those first amendment rights [….]
[….] Opinions are like buttholes now everybody knows you got one go away
[….] awww. You’ve got fun stuff to say like [….]
[….] You know about assumptions.
Actually, a person’s real persona reveals in times of crisis or chaos.
Say what you will, no “cheap fake” here.
[….] I absolutely will “say what I will”. Zero of the Maga cult hold this energy for a classroom full of children. Thoughts and prayers [….]
[….] Your sarcasm defines you.
[….] It’s definitely not sarcasm. Just facts.
[….] So, it was staged. Definitely staged. 20 bodies would be no cost for MAGA.
[….] a room full of 3rd graders makes zero difference to them.
[….] What a stupid comment. Nobody would stage something like this but the left. They are so worried about losing an election. Wouldn’t surprise me if they hired the shooter. Go back to your bridge, troll.
[….] The MAGA invite guns to their convention, then the rooftops were left unsecured because they were too far away for an accurate shot, then a photographer snaps a grand photo of defiant raised fist surrounded by guards.
Given that Trump and Putin would nonchalantly litter the city with collateral dead bodies, and Jan 6 shows they understand how some folks will act on emotions and opportunity, I could see this being triggered and expected. It definitely explains why Trump insisted it was going to happen.
[….] The setup was to create opportunity, knowing that someone would bite. The gamble was that the someone would miss. The shooter was registered as Republican,Republicans are the ones with guns… there are so many holes in this whole scenario. How did Trump know that there would be an attempt?
The future President also. Now 100% locked in
I have to wonder if it was the CIA … Prayers for All and My President, Donald J TRUMP … [….]
There is no place for violence in our political system. Those who commit violent acts should face the full force of our justice system and be harshly punished if convicted.
Agreed. Political violence has no place
May justice prevail.
[….] To date, the only MAGAt that’s been properly punished for their crimes against America on January 6th was Ashlii Babbitt….
[….] Ma’am that be you with “jAnUaRy 6tH” bullshit.
Political violence is wrong ..no matter what side is doing it
[….] That’s rich coming from the people who say a man can become a woman. Besides it’s the current administration that depicts Orwell’s story. But you are just following in line like a good little retarded citizen.
[….] that person is dead I heard [….]
Amen mark god bless Donald Trump remember people we are all americans [….] for our country
Unless it is committed against Democrats?
This truly is a very sad day for America no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on!!!
amen
Thoughts and Prayers [….]
I pray daily for him,I pay for God to heal the hateful and the bitterness in this country.
Praying for president Trump and our country.
Political violence and violent rhetoric have no place in our democracy.
We are better than this.
We must be better than this.
[….] you mean our Republic
[….] Our democratic republic.
Don’t ask me to school you.
[….] These MAGAt’s, with their room temperature IQ, and the critical thinking skills of a toddler, simply don’t know how to learn….
Prayers for our country
He’s fine
Amen [….]
This is on Biden. His followers hate America. [….]
[….] The party of “love and tolerance.” Sad days.
[….] now they’re calling for peace & love. Babababullshit
Yet your orange idol has Repeatedly called for violence. He asks the proud boys to stand down and stand by, sees good people in the white supremacist crowd that ran down a woman. He tells his crowd to beat up a heckler. He called for his own VP to be hunted down. He cheered on the January 6 terrorists. And even today, while his SS team was attempting to get him to safety he fought them. Told them to “find my shoe.” Then raised his fist and yelled for his followers to, “fight, fight, fight.”
How dare you attempt to place any blame on anyone other than trump. He boasts about being able to imprison his opponents, have respected high ranking Military officers tried for treason, licks his lips at the “Military punishment for treason,” and relished the idea of immunity to kill people.
Throw some gas in the fire, beware the splash back.
Did you see his supporters flipping off the cameras
Classy people.
[….] and chanting USA USA fight fight fight. They are deranged.
[….] I could never tell if you are ill informed or just stupid. I finally came to the conclusion that you are both. Sit down you anarchist you and your worthless opinion are no longer needed.
[….] my day is complete, I triggered you.
[….] you are a typical Democrat. You see you are losing power and you try and kill your opponent. You and Boothe would have been friends.
[….] What a dark soul you have if that is what makes your day complete.
Prayers that this DOES NOT escalate the extreme nut jobs out there. Both on the right and the left.
Prayers for Trump and this crazy country we have become
Pelosi and the CIA at it again like JFK.
That’s what happens when half of the country is demonized as subhuman Nazis by the left. Honestly I can see democrats being sad President Trump wasn’t killed.
Mental Health issues are real. Support legislation to address treatment
It’s beyond time to deem certain groups as domestic terrorists, and be eradicated. Swiftly.
[….] Calling for ‘eradication’ of political enemies is exactly the kind of thinking that ends up in these situations.
[….] this situation did not occur for doing so, but the actions following an attempted assassination justifies those intolerable actions.
Good riddance.
[….] Every PoS Democrat who joked about or spoke of taking out Trump, including politicians should be rounded up and be investigated just like J6 for fomenting this.
[….] You mean like the sensible RINOS that MAGA hates.
Every PoS Democrat who spoke out or joked of taking out Trump, including politicians, Waters, AOC, Schiff, Schumer should be rounded up and be investigated just like J6 for fomenting this.
[….] not the time or place for this. The GOP joked about Pelosi’s husband being attacked and almost killed spreading rumors it was a lover etc.
Time for everyone to have some respect.
[….] did you notice how very quickly that went quiet? Obviously you don’t have high levels of friends in law enforcement. It wasn’t the 1st time her husband had been in that position.
[….] so now you want peace? FFS wake up. [….]
[….] I recall one of the reporters on CNN after the debate saying that it appears the only way to stop Trump was to assassinate him. Someone needs to rewind this tape. It was one of the female reporters. I remember it well because may first thought was “how can you get by with saying that on National TV”
[….] that needs to be arrested for inciting violence. Then sued for every penny they’ve got.
So which is it Mark Alford? Do you appreciate the Secret Service or should the head of the secret service and the detail resign? Four hours ago, you thanked them. Three hours ago you were promoting their resignation.
Collins should apologize and resign. [….]
The Left should be grateful Trump is okay!
[….] not the time or place for name calling or finger pointing
[….] Tell me, how long should we wait?
[….] how long did it take the GOP to joke about Paul Pelosi being attacked
[….] you are the so called [….]. Tell everyone how long they should try to act like a country instead of a bunch of idiots. Obviously, you feel there is no need for any time to go by. That makes you a waste. It also sounds like you made a threat, so it’s been reported for you.
[….] Leftwing!
[….] Leftwing!
[….] fraudulent Christian. You are the type of scum that uses this for what you think is political gain. You are a traitor, plain and simple.
[….] I’m not the one promoting the Communist Democrat Party!
[….] you are the one that is using a potential assignation attempt as a political tool. Typical old, white, irrelevant, religious zealot way of thinking [….].
[….] Interesting,… how you reveal the groups you loathe!
[….] 5.5 hours and you can start spewing your holier than thou chant again. Fraud
[….] Anti-Christian!
[….] yes you are. Full scale fraud
[….] Wow! Is that equivalent to Super fraud. Maybe I can be a felon, too.
[….] your master has 34 felony convictions. He can give you a few.
[….] Thankfully, I hear the truth, the facts. Glad I don’t have to rely on propaganda!
[….] LMAO! Why?
[….] Oh, and it’s “grateful”, Dipshitticus!
[….] Thanks, teacher!
I rest my case.

Earlier this week:
Denny Hoskins
[July 9, 2024]Today, I am announcing that I have received the endorsement of Mike Lindell, American businessman and election integrity advocate.
“Missouri voters need a Secretary of State who will stand up and fight when our elections are on the line, and I truly believe that Denny Hoskins is the best candidate for the job. He will stand firm to eliminate fraud and stop any threat – either foreign or domestic – from meddling in elections,” said Mike Lindell.
I am honored to have Mike’s support for my campaign to be Missouri’s next Secretary of State. I believe we need someone in office who will make election integrity the number one priority, rather than bending under pressure from corporate election services providers and special interest groups who want to further weaken our elections. The most secure elections are in-person, on Election Day with a voter ID and no, I don’t trust the election machines. I will fight to maximize accountability and eliminate fraud, and I will not back down when our most fundamental right – the right to vote – is on the line.
Some of the responses:
How much does he charge for an endorsement?
[….] I think, it’s about 2 to 3 grand.
A Secretary of State candidate endorsed by a guy who had to pay $5 million for lying about election fraud inspires zero confidence that Denny Hoskins has any qualifications to supervise elections.
Oh crap – I thought this was an Onion story or something….you actually WANT Lindell’s endorsement?????
lol
Is that guy ever going to show the world all the evidence he’s lied about having for years now?
[….] An endorsement from the My Pillow Guy is great?
Wow! Is this something to really brag about?
Ummm….Mike Lindell is a well known fraudster and conman that owes millions of dollars in unpaid debts. His endorsement is [….].
I already absentee voted against you. Like many Americans, I leave for work before the polls open and don’t get back into town until after they close. Working 40 minutes away makes it tough to leave work to vote. I took my neighbor, a disabled veteran, with me. He doesn’t get around so well but his wife and I found it convenient to get things taken care of this week. You should be working to make it easier for ALL eligible voters to cast secure ballots, not the opposite (just because lower turnout favors your party).
Couldn’t get Rudy Giuliani?
Wanting the endorsement of idiots makes you more of an idiot.
OMG that loser? Hope you aren’t expecting donations from him. He’s broke as a joke!

It would be much more accurate.
Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission:
243038 07/11/2024 AFC Victory Fund AFC Victory Fund 228 S Washington St Ste 115 Alexandria VA 22314 7/9/2024 $633,500.00

Also, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:
From their web site:
AFC Announces Launch of Affiliated “AFC Victory Fund” Super PAC
[….]
Dallas, TX – The American Federation for Children is pleased to announce the official launch of AFC Victory Fund, a national Super PAC that will take AFC’s work of championing school choice and empowering parents to the next level.During the 2024 election cycle, AFCVF will be a powerful force in state legislative races nationwide, devoting at least $10 million in support of school choice champions and against opponents. [….]
$633,500.00 is a big chunk of that $10,000,000,00.
Sure, a $5,000.00 tax credit will allow you to send your kids to a private school in your area at $20,000.00 a pop. Not for anybody most of us know. Nah, it’ll just give wealthy people a tax credit to subsidize sending their kids to a private school while defunding your public schools.
