This National School Choice Week, it’s time to put power back in the hands of parents.Parents deserve a voice on what’s being taught, school safety, and have the ability to choose the best education for their children. #SchoolChoiceWeek
School Choice Week
[….]
2:57 PM · Jan 23, 2023
“…it’s time to put power back in the hands of parents…” “…Parents deserve a voice on what’s being taught…”
Uh, school boards are elected locally.
So, what “options” do people in rural Missouri have? Ever think of that before your obviously thoughtless regurgitation of right wingnut dogma?
We have questions. Does one of the “choices” mean that people who don’t have children won’t have to pay the taxes that will go into funding this grift? Just asking.

Yesterday afternoon:
Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Republicans are fighting on behalf of the American people for a government that works FOR them, not AGAINST them.
2:02 PM · Jan 18, 2023
Some of the responses:
Is that why conservative districts have a shorter life expectancy?
I’m pretty sure Jason is fighting AGAINST America.
[….]
You’ve represented one of the poorest districts in the country for more than a decade. In that time, absolutely no progress made for your constituency ! In fact it’s worse !
Who are you fighting for ?
Oh please. I like SS. Medicare Libraries Public Schools. Roads
Okay, what Jason meant to say before all his lies got in the way was:
Republicans are fighting on behalf of their SUPER-RICH DONORS for a government that works FOR THEM, and AGAINST the MIDDLE CLASS American family.
Like you fight for the Boot heel? Yay, can’t wait.
Possible sarcasm there.
Lol no they’re not
Yes, Santos is a stellar fraud ripping off the elderly & disabled veterans. Such an honest party.
Lies.
You voted AGAINST certifying the 2020 Presidential election. You sure it’s the AMERICAN people you’re working for? Cause it seems like you oppose the orderly transfer of power and favor The Big Lie. Some patriot you are.
-want to strip social security
-want to end Medicare
-give huge tax breaks to rich peopleWho they workin for?
Is this a parody account?
Sadly, no.

Truman Library Institute @TrumanLibInst
Harry Truman wore many hats during his life — literally! Stetsons were a favorite of the president, wearing them during his daily walks from the White House.
Happy #NationalHatDay!

The former newsreader (r) just had to chip in:

Agreed!!! Stetson all the way!!!

7:52 PM · Jan 15, 2023
Appropriation.
Some responses:
Please go to work.
Wearing a hat doesn’t make you Truman.
You cannot hold a candle to President Truman! What a loser!
Not even close.

He’s pulling our fingers, right?
Some of the responses:
Take what?? Your crayons?? Are you trying to out Jackass Hawley?
Such a d-bag! #loser
What a 🤡. Do you have any of your own thoughts or just repeating garbage someone told you to post.
Do you understand how stupid this makes you look? Good lord you’re already such a disappointment.
Who ever runs against this POS in the future, save his Tweets!
For fucks sake you’re a 🤡
Exactly the kind of stupidity I expected from a news anchor turned politician
Newsreader.
The reality:
EARLY AND OFTEN UPDATED JAN. 13, 2023
The Gas-Stove Ban Freak-out Is the Story We Need Right Now
By Margaret Hartmann, senior editor for Intelligencer[….]
…no one’s actually issuing a federal ban on gas stoves at the moment, we’ve known about the alleged health issues related to gas stoves for years, and most of us aren’t getting new appliances anytime soon.
[….]
Stoves are less-than-ideal culture-war fodder. As one colleague observed, Republican politicians are constantly trying to plug something new into the “they’re coming for your ____” outrage machine; today, it’s gas stoves….
[….]
Mark Alford (r) hasn’t made any substantive career change. Fancy that.

The mental gymnastics the media and the left are going through to ignore the Biden classified docs while simultaneously crucifying Trump is just one more example of the absurd double standards that exist today.
5:20 PM · Jan 12, 2023
Two responses so far:
You haven’t been watching/listening to the news. BTW, do YOU condemn Trump’s handling of classified documents as you have Biden’s? Be fair, Congressman.
With an I.Q. as high as yours, The mental gymnastics you must go through just to tie you shoes…
-Wait, what… They’re Velcro!?
>The mental gymnastics you must go through just to put on your shoes must be tiring
Heh.
This was then. Eric Burlison (r), August 2022:
Eric Burlison @EricBurlison
It’s disgusting how the Obama and now Biden administration have weaponized our judicial system against Trump. They investigated him and put him through hell over the bogus Steele Dossier, and now they do THIS. This swamp must be drained. These are the actions of a banana republic
5:27 AM · Aug 9, 2022
Some of the response back then:
What’s disgusting is a lawless President who escapes accountability again and again because of his money, power, and propaganda, and folks like you defending him.
You still a Trump Republican now Eric? Tik tok.
Still is, evidently.
Local man running for Congress can’t think of anything to say.
Huh? The bits of your tweet that I can make any sense of are, in fact, untrue. Obama & Biden had nothing to do w the TON of evidence of Russian collusion in 2016 that had nothing to do w the preliminary notes that made up the “Steele Dossier.” Couldn’t you squeeze Hunter in here?
Yeah. I agree. It’s really weird how the legal system is so hard on criming criminals who commit crimes. And as far as the Steele dossier goes, you do know Manafort is telling everyone and the bartender that he was giving info to a Russian agent to “settle his debts”, right?
Someone who doesn’t know what “banana republic” means shouldn’t be running for office.
Please open a history book sometime.
WHAT? Trump? The person that planned an insurrection because he LOST an election!
No problem if mob HUNG his VP! Incited violence & trashing Capitol!
Took & kept top secret documents illegally!
Wow. You are off course. Trump is a CRIMINAL.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

[….] Hours after I sent the letter demanding @TheJusticeDept appoint a special prosecutor AG Garland announced the appointment of Robert Hur. We need answers now.Who had access?
Did Biden cover this up ahead of the midterms?It’s on, Joe!
12:55 PM · Jan 12, 2023
Some of the responses:
Did the National Archives demand a return of these documents? Did Biden say he didn’t have them?
You have a problem though. They’re doing this “by the book”. That being the case, we know nothing will come of it. It’s pretty smart. I mean, what else can the GOP demand once the special council comes back favorably for Biden? Which seems likely to happen.
Yeah, you know, that pesky NOT obstructing justice thing.
Wanna be dictator Trump is proud of you.
So your demands to AG Garland are responsible for his appointing a special prosecutor. Wow, you really pack a lot of power for a freshman. [….]
That was probably sarcasm.
So you really think because you called the justice dept they started an investigation. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Good lord! Another damn narcissist! Mark thinks he controls the justice dept.
Does Alford’s pathetic ass really think they answered HIM? Hilarious
You know what, Mark? You’re brand new. You still have a chance to model yourself after anyone than Jim Jordan. Please represent ALL of us & don’t be a stupid squakbox like him. Do work.
Too late.

Yesterday, the FBI raided President Trump’s residence. This is a ridiculous abuse of power by the FBI and the DOJ. We, the American people, deserve to see the warrant for ourselves.
10:02 PM · Aug 9, 2022
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
The partisan DOJ will callously sit by and watch videos of a sitting President’s son commit multiple crimes, but instead of taking action, they spend their energy executing raids on former President’s homes.
10:02 PM · Aug 9, 2022
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
This is just another leftist attempt to disparage the President, and will go down in history as an utter and complete political midterm election-year stunt.
10:02 PM · Aug 9, 2022
Good look, Mark, good look.

I’m old enough to remember when flight times were reliable. The FAA has taken a nose dive under Mayor Pete.
11:43 AM · Jan 11, 2023
Some of the responses:
That’s it, get elected, then right to the ad hominem
Please provide specifics as to what Pete did today to delay flight times (or any other time)? Do you have data and facts that prove Pete has caused flight delays? Just asking because this tweet seems like one thing (flight delays) has nothing to do with the other.
You should call your congressman
Someone won the internets today.
You have also taken a huge nose dive since taking you’re oath. You said when you began this that the truth matters. I guess like all republicans you lied. [….]
A system wide computer crash has nothing to do with him you clown.
I’m trying to figure out what Buttigieg did to cause this disruption today. I’m looking forward to you calling the hearings after your finish with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Priorities, priorities.
So when do you get fitted for your tinfoil hat?
Heh.
Falling right in line with your ridiculous party friends I see. Last I checked the head of the FAA was appointed by Trump [….]
Mayor Pete? Are you three years old? Pathetic hack
Just when I didn’t think someone could top Hartzler when to comes to do nothing, propaganda BS, along comes a TV hack to prove me wrong
I am old enough to remember when a whole country was shut down during Covid under a incompetent pussy grabber named Donald J Trump.
Are you really that stupid?????
Congratulations on your MO House seat Mark! You were the only reason I watched Fox 4! Miss you! You have to protect us from the globalist’s agenda now! #DefundWEF #PoliticiansAgainstWEFagenda

Biden TOOK CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS from the White House and they were found at a BIDEN think tank.
What were in those documents? Will the FBI raid his home?
10:52 AM · Jan 10, 2023
Individuals in the responses get it:
It’s so depressing that you represent me in congress……
You’re smarter and better than this, Eric. I know you are. I’m sure this won’t be the only time I will have to say this.
Assumes a fact not in evidence.
Cool to see you suddenly caring about classified documents, though. Does being this big of a hypocrite bring you any shame or embarrassment? Serious question.
wow! I knew you went full dishonesty shill mode but this is a new low. You know who turned in the documents? Biden’s people! You know who was looking for it? No one.
No need to raid his home — he quickly and willingly returned them, much unlike the former president
Now, let’s play “Spot the Difference” and I bet you could apply critical thinking to this situation instead of intentionally misleading your followers for “political points.” You’re responsible for removing nuance from conversations and I am not impressed. Leaders should lead.
There was a song on a children’s television show…
Why would they road his home? He already turned the documents in.
OMG – let me tell ya about Trump
Listen, we here in Missouri already know you’re not that bright, but can you not embarrass us in front of the rest of the country?
Just pretend to pass bills, cash your lobbyist checks, etc. Your re-election is pretty well guaranteed without having to further disgrace Missouri.
Sadly…
It’s being investigated dim wit (by a Trump appointee). If Trump had returned the docs he took when asked, he might not be in the mess he’s in.
Oh look. Eric with the talking points for the intellectually dishonest. What a shocker.
[….]
I hate how fuckin’ stupid you are.
So.
Much.
God, you’re a moron.
