Now that’s a metaphor for something.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 21, 2025]
📍Whiteman Air Force Base, home of the B-2 Stealth Bomber

It’s day 21 of the #SchumerShutdown & if it wasn’t for @POTUS, our troops wouldn’t have gotten paid this cycle.

Hear from Ret. Col. Keith Butler on what it means if America’s sons and daughters, the same men and women who served on Mission Midnight Hammer, miss their next paycheck because of the Left’s political games. 👇

Some of the responses:

Get off the road and get back to DC and get to work.
Stop politizing the military. Stop using an airforce officers name to prop up your favorite pedophile.
Did you ask the Col if you could invoke his name in such a way as to show support for your party and your pedophile?
FYI those of us who served do not like being called sucker’s and loosers.

Good afternoon, Congressman Mark Alford. Do you approve of the POTUS posting an AI generated video depicting himself enacting political violence on American citizens who are exercising their Constitutional rights?

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Maybe check “the tariff shelf”. People are saying it has magic money.

Ope! He said it again today. Magic money shelf where tariffs that “come in from other countries” (which is a lie, the IMPORTERS PAY THIS) sits… There you have it.

Argentina got paid.

That’s a fact.

Any comment on the $230 million shakedown of the DOJ?

Hey, mark answer me a question. What does it mean to you? When you hear that the big, beautiful bill that you Republicans created has caused a situation where taxpayers in America are losing my insurance coverage

You’re the one playing games. Go to work. Who else gets to stay home with full pay for weeks on end?

Republican Shutdown

If you did your job and negotiated then the admin would not have had to scramble to find a way to pay them. But hey Argentina got paid.

Not all service members got their paycheck this cycle. Probably should state better facts.

Johnson/ Trump and all republicans are standing in the way!!

Republican shutdown. Your constituents are watching.

If you’re not in Washington working it out, instead of posting lame videos, it’s the Alford shutdown.

If we had that $40 billion that we’ve given to Argentina, we could pay a lot of people. We could take care of some healthcare too. You aren’t even in DC. Sad that workers are having to work but not getting paid and you are not working but getting paid.

Little less ballroom and a lot more affordable healthcare.

To politicize our military is pretty freaking low. They protect us everyday regardless of what damn politician is at fault.

No shit Sherlock.
We know because you take credit for them every time they do something.

You’re full of 💩! Get you 🫏 back to work. The tax payers do not need to pay the Trump any money, we do not need to import beef. We have a checks and balance system and you have done nothing!!

Left’s political games. Big beautiful bill: behind the branding lies a brutal blueprint, one that dismantles the very systems people across the country

Your White House, your Senate, your House….Your Shutdown!

Well the Republicans have the House, Senate,Presidency, Supreme Court so please explain why it’s Schumer’s shutdown? Your Majority leader has allowed you to be in Missouri instead of working to find a solution in the capitol!

Explain why the GOP controlled House of Representatives is in recess during this shutdown? Why aren’t you and your fellow party members working towards a solution instead of leading this current stalement?

Day 21, the trump thune Johnson shut down, because republicans can’t govern, and republicans still have no healthcare plans at all.

You guys are in charge of all 3 branches of government AND the bought and paid for SCOTUS. Its your shutdown.

So your still lying to us about what you did to our health care
