On Sunday:

Mark Alford
[February 9, 2025]
Boom!!!

[….]
The Real Super Bowl is going on in DC RIGHT NOW!
It’s the Patriots vs the Stealers

It’s a cult.

Some of the responses:

Let’s just have a day of celebration. Not hate or smart assed stupid comments. Be. Better.

An unelected South African is your leader!!
Is that okay Mark Alford?

There’s even a salute.

If my social security benefits are touched by musk then you all need to resign. You are not standing up for your own citizens rights

The President still has to obey the law. Save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Politicians used to be respectable. Not anymore apparently.

Pretty sure Fouchi wasn’t elected

Fauci. If you’re going to demonize someone, at least spell their name correctly.

Hey Mark instead posting antagonistic things like that, tell us what you’re doing for Small Business.

“Rep. Mark Alford serves on the **House Small Business committee – This committee focuses on issues related to small businesses, including access to capital, regulatory relief, and support. Alford is dedicated to ensuring small businesses in Missouri’s 4th Congressional District can open, grow, and thrive.”

[emphasis added]

Taxation of income is theft

Walks cross country to get to town.

Can I ask why it was necessary to shut down all these departments while they are being examined? It seems like an audit could have been done without so much chaos.

“I can’t believe the leopards are eating my face” says the person who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.

Idk the whole thing is dodgey.

I was busy today and finally got it

Maybe sound the words out?

Little man syndrome

Good lord, can you just not help yourself? Do you just get some sick satisfaction from antagonizing constantly. You are really becoming despicable. I thought you were better than the nonsense you keep posting.

God Bless… but truly, anyone from KC knows what a sellout you are now.

We are blaming our neighbors for OUR drug problems. That’s ridiculous. And turning turning the Holy Land into Disneyland Middle East is righteous? Horrifying.

Grift on a global scale.

And Trump and Elon are the STEALERS along with your approval apparently.

This was Lame.

You’re an idiot

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

You forgot dictators

You have government employees in your district that are being harmed right now. You should do something about it. you should care about people.

Oh…aren’t u witty

They’ll do it anyway.

Get used to it.

Yesterday was a special day. I blinked and missed it.

Presidential Actions
Gulf of America Day, 2025
February 9, 2025

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025, as the first ever Gulf of America Day.

On January 20, 2025, I signed Executive Order 14172 (“Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness”). Among other actions, that Executive Order required the Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, to “take all appropriate actions to rename as the ‘Gulf of America’ the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the State of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.”

I took this action in part because, as stated in that Order, “[t]he area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning Nation and has remained an indelible part of America.”

Today, I am making my first visit to the Gulf of America since its renaming. As my Administration restores American pride in the history of American greatness, it is fitting and appropriate for our great Nation to come together and commemorate this momentous occasion and the renaming of the Gulf of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 9, 2025, as Gulf of America Day. I call upon public officials and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.

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

It’s obvious – his ass has been so chapped for decades by the name of an international body of water that a name change just had to be a priority.

What a putz.

“My parents fought for my future, now I will fight for theirs!”

Late Saturday afternoon around 300 individuals gathered at Mill Creek Park along 47th Street to protest, rally, and march in Kansas City, Missouri against the actions of Donald Trump (r) and his administration.

“Impeach President Elon”

“They didn’t burn witches, they burned women”

“Unite Against Tyranny”

“Make Nazis Scared Again”
“Who Put These Fugly Losers In Charge?”

“Trump Out, ICE Out”

“Angry Women Will Change The World”

“USAID Saves Lives”
“Musk Rat Must Go!”

“Fascism is Capitalism in Decay”

“Threat Level Orange”
“Eat the Rich”
“Silence is Privilege”

“The Power of the People is Stronger than the People in Power”

There can be joy in the battle.

There can be sorrow.

We are NOT criminals!

The real criminal is in the White House!

We build your houses.

We cut your grass.

We clean your house.

We make America!

#ProudMexican

They are America.

Along the north side of 47th Street.

“Feed the Poor, Eat the Rich”

“Confederates and Nazis: Fucking Losers”

For those keeping score – no wins, two losses.

“Resist”

“Nobody Elected Elon Musk”

“No human being is illegal”

Driving past the demonstration:

WankPanzer.

“…Welcome to the Revolution”

The Kansas City metro area ABC affiliate covered the demonstration. An interview:

“Immigrants Built America”

“If you wanted teachers to let ICE take our students you shouldn’t have taught us to take a bullet for them”

“Oligarchy equals Tyranny”

The resistance is vocal and growing.
