“Oh, a bullshit artist.”

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 19, 2026]

SHOW-ME RESULTS 🇺🇸
I’ve been fighting to lower fuel costs and make life more affordable for Missouri families. That’s why I voted YES for year-round E-15. It means more American-made fuel options, lower prices at the pump, and a stronger market for our farmers.
Real savings for drivers. Real support for rural Missouri. ⛽🌽🇺🇸
[….]

Some of the responses:

Trumps WAR the one he started all on his own saying it would take a week and was not really a war. Is responsible for the gas prices.

Is the affordability in the room with us now?

Where is this fuel available? All stations?

Being from rural Missouri, I know a whole lot of farmers. But I don’t know a single one who is as excited about diesel being almost $6 a gallon (and more in some places) as Mark Alford. The illegal Iran War is disproportionately harming our rural communities, but Alford supports it anyway. Vote Herrera for Congress!

Is this the Onion?

Sadly, no.

Talk to your leader tell him to turn Starlink back on for Ukraine🤬

Слава Україн

There’s literally no way the increase in taxes per paycheck equates what I pay for insurance every payday. I don’t understand people being so against universal healthcare.
I just finished open enrollment for 2027, and I’m paying over $10,000 next year for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for a family of 5. And that’s not including deductible and copay. Estimates suggest a 4% tax increase on the average household to fund a single payer healthcare system. Medicare for All would save me about $7,000 as well as prevent over 100,000 deaths.

Ethanol as gasoline is a terrible energy policy. It takes 1.17 units of energy to create 1 unit of energy as ethanol. While it reduces demand for crude it increases the demand for natural gas.

Science! Facts!

1 acre of solar panels can propel an EV 80-120x farther than an acre of corn grown for ethanol. With no annual inputs. For 25-30 years…

What about truckers, Mike? Will there be socialism for them too?

most cars can’t use this fuel. So for most no help

Congressman Mark Alford Judging by the prices, I am concerned about your ability as a fighter for farmers and American Families.

Today:

Exactly the same as shrinkflation. Not fooling anyone. Let’s Math out the “fuel efficiency” on your proposal. It won’t pass scrutiny.

No new wars

Congress held 6 voting sessions to end the Iran war. Congressman Mark Alford and the majority of Republicans voted no all 6 times. The war is causing a huge increase in gasoline and diesel prices . Now Mark wants to boast about offering a drop of help that does nothing to lower high prices he caused. It’s time to elect someone who will vote to end the war.
[….]

This, right here!!!

Midterms Approaching Propaganda and significant self-promotion.

Where can we find these prices?
No worries, I’m not expecting you to answer since we all know they don’t exist.

The photo shows regular gas at $2.94 a gallon – which was in February, 2024 when BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT.

By affordable you mean literally double from last year…

I just put $20 in my tank this morning. Barely gave me a quarter tank. When Biden was president, that $20 would last me a whole week. Now, I’ll be lucky to get two days.

And it lowers your mpg by about 5%. So have to buy more gas.

Fuel Prices by Grade Oct 19 2026
• Regular Unleaded: $3.93 – $3.95 / gallon
• Mid-Grade: $4.29 / gallon
• Premium: $4.65 / gallon
• Diesel: $6.01 – $6.30 / gallon
Feb 2025 Missouri avg gas price was $2.84 for regular unleaded.
I use 2 tanks a week to commute to work.
So every month, I pay $133 more thanks to Trump’s war.
[….]

How about get us out this war?

Until the illegal war against Iran has ended (which you have it in your power to do if you vote against it), fuel prices will remain higher. Increasing E-15 usage will increase repair frequency, as well as increase food costs: every acre harvested costs more using expensive diesel.

$6.19 per gallon 10-19-26

Rubber Stamp Alford 😂

You’re a joke

Maybe you should try voting to end the war that actually caused the fuel prices to rise.. dumb ass.

These kinds of posts alone should tell you that Alford isn’t fit for office.

Confirming your incompetence again? 🤡

You forget to mention, when using E85 gasoline, your vehicles fuel economy goes down 15% to 27%. A great accomplishment for republican maggat CULT representatives would be getting fuel costs down to where they were the day JOE BIDEN LEFT OFFICE. Those price levels are a DISTANT DREAM for republicans that could take years under their leadership.

This post shows you that Mark Alford just parrots what his corporate campaign donors tell him and doesn’t take 5 minutes to research what he’s talking about.

Alford must be taking advantage of Missouri’s recreational weed availability again. He’s not making any sense.

I’m guessing you learned arithmetic from one of the public schools you voted to defund.

So once again you prove you lack basic math skills you pathetic sycophant

Grow up FFS.

Vehicles that run on sunshine are superior for almost every application. Enjoy your $6 diesel, maga.
[….]

You’re a joke…. You got Hegseth spending $90 billion dollars to DOUBLE fuel prices…. And no end in sight…. Corrupt…and… like the recently sacked press secretary….. UTTERLY incompetent.

Is this satire?
Seriously?
I wish I could see if you were posting this with a straight face.
You think we are all LYING about high prices?
You think every single one of us can’t see with our own eyes and wallets what we are paying for when we go get gas?

Are you that fucking stupid. Fuck you Mark!

So you want us to be using RUSSIAN oil?
BTW my nephew just got sent back to the Middle East (Air Force). He wont be home until next July at the earliest. Wasn’t this supposed to be a war that only lasted a week or so?? His poor baby girl has seen him 2 out of her 6 months on this Earth.
[….]

If only your party’s leader hadn’t have started a war against Iran…

Who is this ad for? Good Lord Alford is a putz. If you vote for him you get what you deserve. He obviously has driven around his district or MO in general.

Maybe if Mark Alford paid for his own food, gas and healthcare then he would have a clue about what people are dealing with today.

WTF have Republicans done to lower fuel costs???

This guy clueless and always has been. Look at how he has voted on health care

Congressman Mark Alford supports attacking a proven US ally, destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure and killing citizens. Mark Alford is on the side of PUTIN. Mark Alford is a traitor to the US Constitution and the people of this land. #UNFITtoSERVE #TakeOutTheAlfordTrash

“Fighting for affordability” while writing off his gas bill to his constituents. He is really feeling the pinch of driving that suburban around rural MO every day.

Yes on 6, the rest are tricks – just like Mark!

F*** you mark.This meme presents a false choice as if capitalism equals freedom. Scripture warns that you cannot serve both God and Mammon, yet capitalism relies entirely on usury, corporate greed, and debt bondage that destroy organic communities. Here in Missouri, we see corporate capitalism and state authority working hand-in-hand, with politicians literally walking around posing with baseball bats to intimidate citizens. Real faith and sound political order reject both state socialism and corporate finance capital they are two sides of the same tyrannical coin, both relying on fear and greed to enforce control.
[….]

High gas prices are 100% the result of Republicans and the Iran War.
And Mar-a-Lago Mark supported all of Trump’s policies, even though he doesn’t have a single constituent in the top 1%. Vote him out.

Dear god, Mark…just stop while you’re way behind.

You definitely put more into the photos you’re posting several times a day than actually accomplishing real results.
Fyi…gas prices have not gone down in Missouri.

You are soooo emotionally abusive, gaslighting your constituents over gas prices.

It’s only unaffordable because you guys sold us out for more endless wars.

Phony Marka typical Trumper spreading more lies

You’re such a failure. 🤣

Show me a bunch of BS messaging; affordable my a**.

Mark’s words are empty, and his actions don’t help Missouri. Vote this liar out.

Not much of a fighter maybe you should try something else.

This Republican Congress has failed to fulfill its constitutional duty to provide meaningful oversight and hold the president accountable.
At a time when the senile president’s words and actions raise serious concerns about judgment, stability, and leadership, Congress has a responsibility to act –
not to stand by in silence, put party loyalty above country, or shirk its obligations.

Or you could have just voted No for the iran war right?? RIGHT????

You didn’t do shit about diesel. That’s where the real cost comes from since all shipping relies on it. The US produces enough diesel to supply ourselves, but you Republicans won’t pass bills to restrict their price gouging.
Also yay, more ethanol to screw up my engine! Thanks, Marky Mark!

Growing an acre of corn produces less energy than an acre of solar.
Look for a new job.

White House officials gave orders to curb Ukrainian access to a vital system used by frontline forces in the fight against Russia, according to a report.

Two U.S. sources and a third Western official familiar with the matter told Reuters that the president’s office had told the Defense Department to slow down access to SpaceX’s Starshield in the embattled Eastern European country. [….]

Yesterday evening, after a long day of visibility and campaigning, Johnson County Democrats held their annual fundraiser, a “Soupfest”, in Warrensburg.

Earlier in the day candidates and activists had participated in the university homecoming parade in Warrensburg, and with many others, joined organized “No Kings” rallies in neighboring towns.

The annual “Soupfest” is an opportunity for raising funds for the county committee and for fellowship and fun. Volunteers prepare their signature soup recipes (14 entries this year) and serve samples or bowls of soup to those attending. Each individual attending is provided with 5 tickets which they can use to vote for their favorite soup. There are bragging rights at stake. Other volunteers provide breads, desserts, and salads.

Mike Walbom (D).

They know their districts and their constituents. They know what needs to be done. Each is committed to representing people over special interests and lobbies.

Help them get there. Vote.

“YES” on 6, “NO” on the rest.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission in support of the initiative to preserve and expand Missouri voters’ voices:

C264382 10/16/2026 Vote Yes on Amendment 6 LIUNA Local 110 4532 S. Lindbergh Blvd Sunset Hills MO 63127 10/16/2026 $179,237.48

[emphasis added]

Working people know what’s at stake.

On the November ballot:

Amendment 6

[….]

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:

– expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right;
– allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits;
– prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative or referendum powers;
– prohibit the legislature from changing or repealing laws enacted through the initiative process, or passing laws similar to those rejected by referendum, – without approval from at least 80% of both chambers; and
– preserve existing majority vote and signature requirements for initiative and referendum petitions?

State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.

Fair Ballot Language:

A “yes” vote will prohibit the people’s elected representatives from directly amending or changing any law enacted through the initiative process; require that any modifications to laws enacted through the initiative process be referred to the people by a vote of at least 80% of each chamber of the General Assembly; restrict the legislature from passing laws that limit the ability to pursue initiatives and referenda; maintain the current signature requirements of five percent of the individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a law; maintain the current signature requirement of eight percent of individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a constitutional amendment; and maintain the current requirement that a simple statewide majority of votes cast on a measure by individual legal voters is sufficient to enact any law or constitutional amendment.

[….]

It is a plan.

Vote ‘Yes’ on Amendment 6.

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[October 16, 2026]

Missourians deserve to feel safe in their own communities.
Thankfully President Trump & The United States Department of Justice are focused on restoring law and order.
I’ll keep working with them to bring resources to St. Louis to tackle violent crime.
[….]

Wait, wasn’t Eric Schmitt (r) Missouri’s Attorney General?

Some of the responses:

You execrable POS

Be sure you don’t send them to Atlanta. And see if you can get Josh onboard too. You might need to remind him that St. Louis is in Missouri. He may have forgotten since he moved to VA several years ago.

Operation: Where’s Atlanta?

You sure it’s Missouri and not Mississippi?

Do you feel safer in a Hawks community or Hawkeyes community?

Wait, you’re still talking? We are still laughing! 😆

Missouri. Now that’s the state right below Iowa, right? home of the Hawkeyes, right?

Hawkeye… or just a hawk?

I always feel safe at a Hawkeyes game!

Are you sure you actually represent Missouri? Or is it Montana, Mississippi or Massachusetts? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hold up a poster! Hold up a poster!

Sure, but aren’t we more concerned about Atlanta?

What about gas prices?

Did you get copies of the text messages ?

Did it occur to you to stay off social media?

Evidently not.

Just make sure that you’re in the state that you think you are in – always double check

So you are going to move out of Missouri?

Know any other teams?

#loser

Bullshitter.

Hawkeyes! Go Hawkeyes!

The call is coming from inside the house 🙄

Uh…St. Louis only and not the entire state?

A true 🤡🤡🤡

Pardon me what about the pardons

Still laughing

Liars, cowards & thieves all the GOP has to offer….

You’re Schmitting yourself again!

Russia is our enemy. That has not changed. trump, hegseth, or musk (any or all 3) are actually aiding and abetting our ENEMY in the killing of civilians, including children, even babies, of our ALLY, Ukraine. It doesn’t make a damned bit of difference which of these 3 traitors actually shut down the satellite system to Ukraine, THE BUCK STOPS WITH TRUMP. What have you told trump your opinion of this latest atrocity is?

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Did you leave your brain at Trump’s feet when you kissed his shoes? You voted for more ICE so your the one who is causing violent crimes,

senator dirtbag still needs to apologize or stfu

Well, if it isn’t Missouri’s dumbfuck senator

So….Missourians deserve to feel safe in their own communities……so tell us Eric when are you going to resign so we can feel safe???….

Hey look!…Schmitt Stain is posting on facebook…whatever happened with Jack? Same Schmitt, New Pile…

He thinks we are as dumb as he is.🤣🤣🤣

You remain a 🤡

Every sitting republican is complicit in Trumps destruction of America.

Eric Schmitt is a buffoon!!! 😡🥶🤮

The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. Trump fawns over Putin. And the maga republicans just stand by and allow it.
How will our allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.
The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.
The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily.
We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes.
When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man’s legacy must be erased.

After your mix-up with the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks, I find it hard/impossible to take you seriously.

Well, there was this, too.

The US is buying Russian fuel, which is giving Russia money to kill more innocent people in Ukraine and to support Iran which has killed over 20 and wounded over 800 American servicemen! Trump loves Putin and has alienated all our allies! And the Republican sycophants remain silent! [….]

No sane person feels safe with people like you running things

Hey Eric, American voters are not as dumb as you look.

Restoring law and order??? 🤣😂🤣😂
[….]

Time to leave politics and fill dirt bags for a living.

How are they to feel safe with dumbasses like you in office? What are you doing besides making an ass out of yourself

Please stop this nonsense.. the most corrupt president in history and a convicted felon and the fake justice department is his own lawyer… cowards and sycophant

Desperation seems to put politicians on social media.
Instead, try letting loose of that BIG ORANGE STAIN.

Try working on REAL problems, like food and gas prices, affordable housing and medical coverage. Trump doesn’t care about us, his policies don’t either, and whenever you use his name I know you don’t care about us ordinary people either. But you are supposed to be representing me and ALL people of Missouri.

Go away Trump ass kisser

Worst joke ever told.

There is no longer a dept of justice, just the long arm of the Trump crime family. How horrible that Trump limited Starlink to Ukraine siding with our enemy Putin!! Trump handcuffed the people who are fighting for democracy. He is unAmerican.

Trump is lawlessness and disorder. Nothing more, nothing less

Until the “law” starts properly investigating the corruption in the White House the words are totally meaningless!

Stop already. Just. Stop.

Dirtbag Schmitt, the name sticks

Keep drinking the kool-aid Republicans 😀
[….]

Did Eric Hawkeye Schmitt find his way home?

The President pardoned over 1800 people CONVICTED of assaulting Capitol Police officers on January 6th, 2021.
Shut your fucking piehole. You only support cops if they support YOUR beliefs.

Schmitt and Hawley are the biggest losers and laughing stocks in Missouri history. No credibility at all

What a shit show

Your governor and legislature in Missouri is dominated by Republicans. Why don’t you go talk to them?

For over twenty years.

Yeah, I wish you would finish the crime and war in DC get that prick out of the White House

Yet overlooking corruption is ok?

The confidence of a mediocre white man.

Yeah. You and Scott Jennings, two perfect assholes 👌

When are throwing millions of Americans off their healthcare again?
After the midterms right?

Even the Russian bots are laughing at this.

You have no shame

Disgracing Missouri daily 🤮

How do you support a criminal and say they are trying to restore law and order?

Hey, Shitty Smitty, you’ve already proved yourself a dumbass. Quit compounding it.

Why would anyone listen seriously to a single word this lying maga cultist says???

We deserve an honest Senator, you are not one.

These are the two biggest Kool aid drinkers out there. Completely brainwashed.

Eric, Bubba. I think we’re done with you. Go find a place to sit for a while and try to recover your dignity. After that, just fade back into oblivion, cause ain’t nobody studdin’ you anymore.
Just go away, boo-boo.
Yer done.

Always some grandstanding, partisan bullshit from this attention whore and white nationalist.

Do you even read the comments? Of course not

The President? And law and order? 😂 How many court orders has this administration defied including the most recent being the unlawful removal of over 400 matured trees?
You are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites with nothing to offer the average American worker.

Restoring law and order? Surely you jest. Killing American citizens in the street, starting illegal wars, inciting an insurrection, plotting to hang a vice president, siccing the DOJ on people that have called you out for your crimes, ransacking a Congress member’s home, protecting pedophiles, punching people in the face that disagree with you Yeah, right, you’re all about law and order.🤥 🤥 🤥

You getting your ass beat in these comments, bruh.
I’m from Atlanta, too, which makes it especially funny.

You can’t care about crime in MO while supporting trump and his cronies.

Law and Order?!?!? You mean the kind where an ICE agent runs over someone with their SUV…on purpose??? They say the guy ran in front of the vehicle, but I watched that video a bunch of times and he was running away every single time I watched it! You are such a sycophant to trump and his goons.

F@cking idiot. How to say you’re in a Cult, without saying you’re in a cult

You’re cooked bro. Just stop. The minute you puffed your chest out and called someone a liar about attending an Atlanta Hawkeyes game, it was over for you. Sit and stew in your ignorance.

Still trying to distract from your idiocy in the Jack Smith hearing, eh?

Wrong again, Eric Schmitt. Trump and the DOJ have done a lot to make us not only feel, but also be, much more unsafe with the increased violence they have shown toward the American people.

You have absolutely zero credibility.

There is no moving on from your Jack Smith debacle. No matter what you say or who you talk to you will be forever remembered as the idiot who did not know the difference from the Hawks and Hawkeyes. With Tommy Tuberville leaving the senate you will now take over as the dumbest man in the senate.

Hey Eric, the gaslighting isn’t working.

Pardoning 1,600 violent J6 protesters was certainly a good start.

What a joke

We do douche. We all feel safe. Leave us the fuck alone.

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

How is an administration focusing on crime when the administration is the crime?

Hard to be safe with a DIRTBAG like you in position

Senator Eric Schmidt is an embarrassment to the state of Missouri

Good to see this 🫏 🤡 still has material? 🤔 🙄 Is anybody even paying any attention to him after his last 💩 SHOW? Hav seen him on numerous times but no longer take him for anything close to being serious about anything anymore. Its all blah, blah, blah. Hes just another useless dumb 🤥 🫏 🤡 mouthpiece @ this point.

Still an idiot

Eric Schmitt does what Russia wants

Douche canoe

Trump is making us less safe by getting us into the Iran war.

You’re a fucking moron

Eric Schmitt – More ignorant than you think

Eric… just shut-up instead of continuing to dig within that massive hole of stupidity in which you’ve revealed yourself to reside. You will FOREVER be known as “…that IDIOT who tried to trap Jack Smith, a man of TRUE integrity, in some moronic Repugnant Party ‘gotcha!!’ moment only to have his own monumental ignorance revealed, instead.”
You’re a laughingstock now, Schmitt… and no matter how hard you may try to shed that image, you forever WILL be so. 😉

Most corrupt administration ever. And your legacy is sealed.

Can you find St. Louis on a map? Can you find your ass in both hands?

A convicted felon seems like a poor choice to restore law and order. When the true depth of Trump’s crimes are exposed, I hope no Trump boot licker escapes the shame and ostracism you all deserve.

LMAO y’all voted for a felon. But please, tell us all about law and order.

Stop scaremongering. Crime is down all over.

What about bringing law and order to the lawless White House and Trump crime family?

Performative Dirtbag

So more armed masked thugs with a badge on the streets? Watch out Atlanta!

I’ll feel safer with a functioning democracy you Hawkeye imbecile

Missouri needs to be safe from assholes. When are you moving?

I feel increasingly less safe with Hegseth in charge of our military and Patel in charge of the FBI.

Propaganda alert! This one is just getting people to cheer when ICE kidnaps people … just like the Nazis did in Germany.
Continuing to vote Republican in Missouri when Republicans have been in control of State Government for the decades of decline in living standards is INSANITY.
The very definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome.
Not voting at all is INSANITY.
Voting Republican is INSANITY.
To make change in Missouri we have to have opponents to the Republicans running for office. And you have to vote for the opponents even if you are a registered Republican.
When your Representatives stop working for you and all of our benefit, it is INSANITY to vote for them.
ARE YOU SANE? OR ARE YOU INSANE?

What a joke. Trump is Law and Order Enemy #1.

Trump is the biggest criminal in the country.
