Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[September 3, 2025]
We’re not sorry. Why would we be sorry?
America is the most magnificent heritage ever known to man.
We can no longer apologize for who we are.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Wow. You are pathetically cowardly. Your people came in the 1840s? Mine came in the 1660s – indentured servants. Europe didn’t send their best, sweetie – they emptied their prisons, their asylums, their poor houses HERE. The Puritans didn’t come here for ‘religious freedom’ – they came to avoid taxes and for ‘free stuff’ – free land. Freedom to impose their own religious tyranny – Salem wasn’t an aberration. This is just an updated redux of Alexander Stephens’ “Cornerstone speech”, carefully ignoring the slavery industrial complex, Indigenous defenses of THEIR homes, the Spanish, Chinese laborers, Mexicans, and WOMEN. If you are too insecure, too self-delusioal, too cowardly, too stuck in a mythical past to deal with HONEST American history, then perhaps you should resign. Because the unique status of this nation isn’t about exclusion, it’s about inclusion – it’s about the EXACT proposition that all PEOPLE are equal before the law: that we the governed have a right to a say in our governance, that all people have the right to exist in freedom from tyranny, and to ensure that right, a system of laws and governance for ALL the People. Inherent in that proposition is change – the right to change as needed, as knowledge advances, as greater truths and facts become known, as PEOPLE change. And we DO – we HAVE. The world isn’t stuck in the 1850s or whatever magical timeframe you imagine. And if you’re too fragile, too dependent on whitewashed myths to exist in the real world, where we are all truly connected in ways we’re only beginning to understand, then please – retire to some retrograde little self-sufficient walled-off colony down in the hills and NEVER ever use any of the 21st century modern conveniences again. And FYI – GPS was developed by a Black woman.

As an adult, you should know that no one should need to apologize for who they are, but you SHOULD be willing and capable of making a sincere apology for actions that harm others, such as denying healthcare and easy access to food. Then they should endeavor sincerely to atone by helping those harmed to recover from the hurt done, and not repeating that harmful actions. By that definition you are not an adult, but you could, if you truly believed in the magnificent heritage that is our country, and realized that it was not one group of people that made it so, but many immigrants who came together with their many ideas, cultures and beliefs and worked hard to make it magnificent.

Read between his lines…he believe is was only WHITE SETTLERS who created this nation.
He conveniently omits the SLAVE LABOR of black and indigenous peoples who LITERALLY built this nation.
SCHMITT IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST.

When have you ever apologized?

What are you most proud of? The slaughter of indigenous tribes? The slavery? The exploitation of workers to benefit the rich?
We can talk about the benefits of innovation, winning WWII, etc. However, we can’t talk about those without noting the harm of laissez-faire capitalism, Japanese concentration camps, or the atomic bomb. In other words, we will stand in the way of your attempt to white wash our history.

Blah blah blah

Senator, you say: “Our ancestors would be astonished to learn that they were fighting for a “proposition.”
But what about this:
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
It’s telling, Senator, that in your prepared remarks you said: “The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, the Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, the pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, the outnumbered Kentucky settlers repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls—all of them would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a ‘proposition.’”
There is no mention of the Civil War, or, for that matter, World War II. Where are your sympathies in those conflicts?
Lincoln would have been astonished that a member of his own Republican Party would repudiate the notion that the United States is dedicated to a proposition.
The Americans who died for the Union in the Civil War, the Americans who died in World War II, would be astonished to learn that they were not fighting for a “proposition.”
It was the Confederates, and the Nazis, who fought for blood and soil, and who rejected the proposition that all people are created equal.

Pedophile protectors? The most corrupt Congress in the history of our country? The only Congress that swore an oath to a FELON instead of the Constitution.

Trump is a corrupt sociopath and elected officials like Eric have given him all their power. Then, like Eric, they are political eunuchs waiting to be told what to do and say.

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

You were elected to represent your constituents, not to declare that everyone agrees with your racist worldview

The only apologies due are regarding how you and Trump followers are damaging this great country.

America’s heritage is more than just crusty old white men, Eric.

Ridiculous and blind and white nazi behavior

White supremacy say what?

Eric, sorry, not sorry, but this speech is disgusting. The whites who came here were colonizers, who stole the land of the indigenous people under the guise of the lie of Manifest Destiny. There’s nothing prideful about that. This country was built on the backs and by the blood and sweat of slaves, natives, and people of color. We have been fortunate that other people groups have made our country so much better. White supremacy should have been wiped out long ago, but you people continue onward with your hateful hearts. You will not prevail, because Jesus said we are to love our neighbors and good will win over evil.

Idiot

Oh? So there were air fields in the Revolutionary War, or no? Should we ask Donald? Trump claimed that President Andrew Jackson, who died in 1845, was “really angry” about the Civil War and could have prevented it had he been president later. Trump stated that the Continental Army “took over the airports” during the Revolutionary War.
We won’t abide revisionist history.

He speaks words that mean nothing …just another trumper blabbing

I want to VOMIT listening to you and your lies. You make me SICK.

Why would we apologize for taking land, resources from the people who lived here? Surely there is no reason to apoligize for killing, raping and enslaving human beings. Only when you have no soul

You fucking racist piece of shit.

Republicans never take accountability so of course you’re not sorry for a goddamn thing. You people think you’re fucking perfect when you are the ones causing harm.

YOU aren’t America dumbass. We are. And we hate you.

Eric Schmitt you are an embarrassment
America is at a crossroads, defend the constitution. Release the epstien files so the survivers can heal. Arrest 47 and the administration. Remove ice from the streets. People will lose health insurance due to the big ugly bill.medicaid and medicare saves lives. Stop lying. Stop defending trump. Stand up to trump. Stop facism. Our country is in distress. 47 is initiating martial law. 47 is an authoritarian dictator

The definition of hubris.

You’ve obviously never read a history book.

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

Selling anything, Eric (r)?

Just asking.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[August 21, 2025]
Clapper, Comey, Brennan, & others probably ought to lawyer up.
The Trump admin is exposing their lies and collusion, so it’s no wonder they did everything within their power to try and keep him from winning back the White House.
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Oh horsepuckey 🙄It’s just another multi-million dollar WASTE of time and taxpayer funds – you know – like BENGHAZI!!! and HER EMAILS!!! 🤣

Saying you have evidence and actually showing it are two different things

Epstein Files Eric

Yap yap yap where are the files

Lawyering up? LOL. Check your six.

Putin’s orders.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Embarrassing

Release the files do something

Oh Eric.

Ha ha are you also in the Epstein Files? Sure seems like it

“Squirrel!”

But yet the Epstein files are missing……

If you support the gerrymandering of Texas, and Missouri, you have no grounds to criticize anyone else who works to win elections.

You’re so funny.

Why isn’t he EXPOSING the Epstein files?!

You and your party have beat that horse to death and provided no facts only conspiracy theories. Here is what I think is a big deal. The fact you are allowing the president to absorb congressional powers. The fact that he continues to violate the constitution, and you talk about Hillary. You cut millions off of or priced them out of health insurance. The spending of this administration is off the charts. The party of financial responsibility my ass. As if all of that wasn’t enough, you continue to protect a pedophile. Disgusting!

Why? False charges and conspiracy theories from the White House that lies 79% of the time. Trump is a vindictive little man going after anyone he thinks wronged him or disagrees with him.

Just release the Epstein files and you will be able to breath easier…

YOU’RE NOT LOOKING WELL, ERIC! LYING MAKES YOU SICK!

You’re so full of shit

Blah, blah, blah. All you Republicans do is promise indictments and you never produce anything because you need proof which you do not have. Quit trying to distract and release the Epstien files!

WTF are you doing for Missouri, fascist?

Oh bullshit! You people are disgusting!

Release the Epstein files

Hey Eric, why do you support a dictatorship?

Quit trying to distract us from the trump-epstein files. Like trump, you are trying your hardest to change history. Just stop! What we would really like you to do is release the trump-epstein files.

You are getting to be a bigger and bigger trump ass kisser every day.we need to dump your ass next election

fuck off ya nazi rat

How is this helping Missourians? Y’all campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, I sure don’t want wealthy pedophiles running around?..

another right wing MAGgAt repeating orange man’s drivel. Sad that tools like Schmitt get elected to any office. You support a felon and attack patriots. What an utter disgrace.

You are completely full of shit.

Eric never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like. 🤦 Have you ever done anything to improve the lives of Missourians???

False prosecution is it in itself a crime, senator.

You are such a tool.

I hope you lawyer up. Because some day you are going to have to answer for these lies. You are protecting a pedophile and encouraging racism. Just sick and evil. I have lived through a lot and the cruelty that I am seeing is beyond belief.

You, Eric, are what is embarrassing the state of Missouri. Stop licking the orange 🤡’s ass

Get a load of this magat moron

Bootlicking fascist

BS…..grievances and hatred. That’s all you guys got.

And, yes, the Trump regime IS exposing their lies and corruption…THEIR OWN lies and corruption, right in the open, for all of us to see.
The lies and corruption are coming from within the house…the White House.

I’m as corny as Missouri in August

corn, Eric Schmitt, Fascist pig, missouri, Missouri State Fair, right wingnut, social media

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Last Thursday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[August 14, 2025]

Fun fact: Missouri corn farmers can produce over 600 million bushels of corn – enough to fill the Arch more than 30,000 times!
[….]

As opposed to export markets? Just asking.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

You should have known better than to post this, but you didn’t, which shows how out of touch you really are.

Is that where Trump is keeping the Epstein Files?

“Fun fact: Missouri corn farmers can produce over 600 million bushels of corn – enough to fill the Arch more than 30,000 times!…”
And do what with it??
Burn it in woodstoves? Use it for fertilizer?

sure aren’t selling it because this loser followed the rapist, felon, child sex trafficker in cutting off their markets.

Exactly. When he [Trump] imposed tariffs, so did our “former” trading partners. Trump has boosted anger at them through his ignorant misinformation. For example “Canada has 150% tariffs on butter”😲 He didn’t mention that only took place after a certain amount of our butter was imported there, I believe it was in the hundreds of tons. At any rate the USMCA was HIS treaty, HE signed…then asked what fool signed it.
Then… “Trump praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made” and lauded it for replacing the “nightmare” North American Free Trade Agreement ratified under former President Bill Clinton…”
Now… “President Donald Trump is outraged that Americans are footing an unfair financial burden, citing a 2020 trade deal called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement that he signed.”
“He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’

That’s wonderful! Good for them! Oh! One question, though, to whom are they going to sell all that corn? Reciprocally bites, doesn’t it.

Sounds like enough to cover the Epstein Files

So is anyone buying missouri corn???

Uh, problem is they have produced a record crop, but grain storages are still full because they can’t sell it! Maybe you could eat more Sugar Pop cereal!

We’d have ham and eggs. If we had some ham and if we had some eggs.

Sure, and then have it rot there 🙄

Follow the money.

Who is going to buy it?

And yet we cut food for USAID. We produce more than we consume … Tks. Senator for all of your compassion!

Who sold Missouri farmland to China senator?

There’s that.

What a worthless analogy…

But what are you going to do with it all now that you can’t sell it to USAID and China is switching to Brazil? Do you and Turnip have a clue how anything works?

Were they going to sell it?

The clowns on here that don’t know how tariffs on imports and exports work are hilarious.

Fun fact. Tariffs bankrupt farmers.

a lot of trump supporters forget what happened his last term, soybeans rotting in piles outside full grain bins, massive government bailout program and record farm bankruptcies.

Fun fact: Missouri is 50th in school safety; 15th most dangerous state; and 49th for average teacher pay.

but we got corn! Lol

Trying to save his job after voting for the big beautiful bill to destroy us

One half of Missouri’s embarrassing clown show.

So when the GOP bankrupts farmers again, are we paying to bail them all out, or y’all picking up the tab for once?!

Did the GOP send out a memo telling ya’ll to post positive stuff today?

not really hitting the assignment with this rotting corn post 🙄

And you talk enough 💩to fill 10 manure factories a day. Neither this nor the corn prices help Missouri farmers.

What kind of thought process would possess you post such a stupid statement like that? Are you bored or just don’t give a crap?

Too bad you guys stole billions of dollars in foreign aid contracts from farmers, contracts which used to feed the world. Too bad you are destroying farm to school programs and supplies to Food banks. There were record farm bankruptcies under Trump last time, and I fully expect it to happen again. And of course you had to put a ton of money into bailing out farmers because you were going steal their workers too.

And in 2025 they will lose their ass on beans and corn because nobody will buy from us. Thanks!

But …. Why would they?
Work for nothing? The market for corn is negative.
BECAUSE OF YOUR POLICIES.

Where are the Epstein files?

And what are they going to do with it when the president ruins their market with his tariffs? Will you help them get a bailout like his last term?

Fun Fact. All that corn and soybeans will NOT be bought by China. It will sit in piles on the ground and rot. Piles big enough to hide the epstein files.

The problem isn’t growing it, the problem is selling it at a profit. Fricking WEIRDO

“….There are, of course, many forms of wingnut welfare. Book publishing scams are just one of the oldest….”

Eric Schmitt (r) [2024 file photo]

He’s selling a book. Oh, goodie.

Last month:

Eric Schmitt
[July 11, 2025]
[….]
For too long, the Right played defense while the Left weaponized our legal system.

It’s time to fight to win.

THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE is the inside story of how we beat the Left in court before—and how we can do it again.

Available for preorder now: [….]

Under Biden, the Left used the executive branch to build a powerful lawfare machine.

Trump won. But the Left’s lawfare continues. Activist groups and far-left judges are wielding our courts like a political weapon, twisting the law to undermine the will of the American people.

As Attorney General of Missouri, I went on offense again Biden—and won.

We blocked his vax mandates, forced him to enforce the Remain in Mexico policy (for a while), killed his student loan bailout scheme, exposed his censorship regime, liberated a million people from forced masking and countless more examples.

We didn’t win these fights by playing by the old conservative playbook. We won by throwing it out and starting over.

THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE is all about the new blueprint we wrote—and how it can help us defeat the Left in the fights to come.

Left-wing lawfare remains one of the chief fights of our time. I wrote this book because our side needs a manual to beat it.

On shelves August 19.
[….]

“…We blocked his vax mandates…” “…liberated a million people from forced masking…”

Yeah, we remember:

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[August 2, 2025]
I’ve always regarded the Senate as the greatest deliberative body in the history of the world.
Now, the Great Arsonist Chuck Schumer has taken a torch to the Senate. My Republican colleagues and I won’t allow it.
[….]

Deliberate this:

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

They ain’t buying what Eric Schmitt (r) is selling:

—–

OH complete and insane BULLSHIT 🤣 MITCH MCTURTLE torched the Senate DECADES ago… get over it. 🤣

My thoughts exactly.

—–

You won’t allow it? It’s easy to not allow something that isn’t happening 🙄

Karoline Leavitt = Hired Liar !

Turnabout is fair play

What is Eric Schmitt’s favorite whine?

Trump has cowered Senate Republicans. Not a single profile in courage among them

The way I see it Congress has the easiest job there is don’t even need a high school education,and you just do what the president says and then you pat yourself on the back and say to yourself job well done

You do have to discard your self-respect.

Yall are hilarious. You picked the wrong side of history

You do whatever Trump tells you to. You do not represent the people of Missouri. You represent Trump and those that donate a lot of money to you.

did you see they eliminated the capital gains tax for individuals after reversing our vote on sick leave? Crooked as they come.

—–

I bet you done everything Biden told you to do

Biden never directed us to do anything because we weren’t in a cult.

—–

Senate Republicans went scorched earth a long time ago. You are culpable .

Of Course Not , You Support The Orange Felon , Fraudster , Con-Man , Sexual Abuser , Election Tampering , Insurrectionist , Habitual Lair ! ! ! Says A Lot About You ! ! !
Release All of The Epstein Files ! Expose All of The Pedophiles ! Charge , Prosecute , Convict ! In Prison With All of Them ! ! ! Get Some Kinda Justice for The Girls ! ! !

Would Senator Eric Schmitt prefer more right-wing pedophiles in the Senate?

No one perverted the office more than Mitch McConnell, making you the dunce today.

If you are trying to tell us that Donald Trump is doing but he’s supposed to then you need to go get your head examined too you let this man destroy Medicaid Medicare SNAP benefits and everything else that Donald Trump is destroying used Republicans are letting him do it so I don’t want to hear anything else from none of you senators don’t access for your votes ever again you cannot be trusted so don’t give us a history give us a history of what Donald Trump is doing and you’re letting him get away with it

Eric is way too emotional for a serious job.

Heh.

McConnell sends his regards.

The Senate was a great deliberative body until you and your pals ceded all responsibility to a wanna-be dictator.

These days all you have to do is become a trump ass kisser like you

So Schumer is an arsonist because he isn’t a rubber stamp for an unstable, corrupt, lawless felon? You’re a flunky.

Republicans did it during the reigns of Democrats and now Democrats are doing it to Trump. It is fun to see Trump go into a expletive laced name calling tantrum at Schumer. Schmitt forgot that it was his BFF, Mitch McConnell, who announced that the sole job of Republicans in the Senate is to make Obama a 1 term president.

You have no backbone you are a Senatorial disgrace and you have let Missourians down Please Resign

So, we will NEVER be able to trust ANYTHING coming out THIS White House, just like we NEVER trust you. You are a blatant liar.
The jobs report is DISMAL. You are FAILING. This is why you’re trying to redraw the maps…to cheat. That’s the only way you can stay in power, NOT to serve the people, but to serve yourself.
You are scum.

You are a DISGRACE to the U.S. Senate!!!!

That’s saying a lot.

Eric Schmitt (r), this afternoon:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 25, 2025]
Look at the current leaders of the Democrat Party—it’s like a Star Wars bar of radical leftists.

What a clown.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

I’ll take Star Wars characters over Dumb and Dumber characters any day.

Ooh, that one left a mark.

That’s what I was thinking! You mean a diverse group of people interacting in the same room? Speaking different languages and co-existing??? Sounds damn good to me!!

The Democratic Party isn’t in charge of what is occurring right now. Talk to me how you will be helping Missourian’s feed their children and pay their bills.

How come ya starting to worry about Democrats?

*Democratic Party. You know that, Senator Eric Schmitt, member of the Grand Old Pedophile President Protection Party.

lol you’re laughably outta touch if you actually believe anything you’re saying. Ah the ways you need to comfort yourself with these comments. Running scared. As a Missourian, the GOP has been in power here for 20+ years making this place more unbearable and unlivable by the day. Feeling worried you haven’t done your job well enough for this next election? GOOD. #hotcommiesummer

Could you and Hawley get any further up Trump’s arse. You grew up in Bridgeton- a middle class neighborhood- and now you’re taking things away from the middle class. How do you sleep at night knowing what you’re doing. You had neighbors that were struggling with their businesses back then but you apparently were the “chosen ” child in your family. You have a child yourself who has special needs (but he’s covered with OUR insurance). Stop being so uppity and get back to your roots, it’s not becoming on you. Your lies and stories against the left side so you can get “atta boy” from the pedophiles in the house is sickening.

Senator Eric Schmitt you guys are big scared of Mamdani, huh?

Yep.

Better than an insane bootlicking fascist evangelical neonazi death cult

Your daddy uses the term “shylocks” Eric Schmitt

Let’s talk about you protecting pedophiles first. Way more important than the NYC Mayor’s race to most of your consituents. How long will you protect them?

Your party is led by a senile pedophile, you shouldn’t be throwing stones while you’re living in that glass house.

Look at the current leader of our country … we all know that the more you focus on Biden and the left, it is strictly an attempt to distract from the shitstorm that is our current administration. And it makes you look weak and the least transparent of all.

GOP = GUARDIANS OF PEDOPHILES

Epstein. Epstein. Epstein.

Funny that you ridicule Mamdani, but you embrace a failed businessman, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

There’s that.

DEI, diversity, equity, Eric Schmitt, Fascist pig, inclusion, missouri, right wingnut, sycophant, Trump sycophant

Apparently, an outdated concept for far too many.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

“….Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action’s sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering’s alleged statement (“When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun”) to the frequent use of such expressions as “degenerate intellectuals,” “eggheads,” “effete snobs,” “universities are a nest of reds.” The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values….” – Ur-Fascism – Umberto Eco

Yesterday, from Eric Schmitt (r):

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 22, 2025]
DEI isn’t about diversity, it’s about discrimination.
Tomorrow, I’m chairing a Senate Judiciary hearing to expose how it’s corrupting corporate America and our universities.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Senator Eric Schmitt No. DEI is about giving everyone a fair shot, and recognizing that discrimination still happens.

You: It’s a free country.
Eric Schmitt: Not so fast!

Schmitt, you can hold all the useless hearings you want. At the end of the day, your Fascist Fatass is STILL a CONVICTED FELON, an ADJUDICATED RAPIST, and a KNOWN PEDOPHILE. Come on, we all know it, including you. You can stall and delay until the cows come home, but WE will NEVER let you forget that your Dear Leader is one sick fuck, and so are you for excusing him and praising him.
In the meantime, he’s making AI videos, yammering about how Obama is “SEDATIOUS????” Pretty sure the dumb ass meant “seditious,” but nevertheless, we all know that whatever he is accusing others of is merely his OWN CONFESSION.
You’re sick, Schmitt…very, very sick.

Nope.

Eric Schmitt, is there a reason black women have a higher maternal mortality rate than women?

Eric is a flat out bigot and he’s proud of it

DEI includes your children; female, disabled. People deserve to be treated fairly and that has never happened. DEI was trying to change the history of red lining, prejudice based on a name, women not being able to have their own charge card. I could go on and on. But, you have your MAGA blinders on and twist and lie to try and support your bigotry. It’s all based on FEAR; fear of change, fear of perceived differences, fear of brown skin. Shame on you.

—–

DEI is not a fear of brown skin. It should be who is best qualified for the job.

bless your heart – if it were ACTUALLY EVER about qualifications or “merit”, no one would need anti-discrimination education and job stats would show a general dispersion among races that mirrors the population.

open your eyes and mind. It’s already happening. None of that bullshit and it keeps people down, like the democratic party has for years.

keeps WHO “down”? and HOW? Women still only make 80% of white men, disabled workers make about 70%, and black workers are only making about 80% of white workers… and y’all are pissed?? WHY?

—–

Why are you protecting pedophiles?? Are you one?

Right out of protect 2025. Got to make sure only white people can get educated and work.

“….I’m chairing a Senate Judiciary hearing to expose how it’s corrupting corporate America and our universities….”

Training, not education.

You forgot your hood, racist.

Congress needs to get its butt in gear and keep up with Trump.

Is somebody going to tell her?

Liar. Resign you complicit pandering christofascist hack

The entirety of this anti-DEI narrative that was fed to you by your tangerine daddy is diabolical.

When y’all gonna vote to release those Epstein files?

ya’ll going to address the Russia collusion hoax?
Any reason the Dems didn’t release the files?
Or is this the left’s new “taco” attempt?

Chicken taco.

it wasn’t my Orange Crush who ran a political campaign saying he’d release it. Check with your Fanta Führer

So that’s a no?
Cool reliable Hitler reference. Cuz yeah it’s the right that are the Jew hating socialists.

No wonder you lost. Keep it up.

pick up a book! They don’t bite, promise 😘😘

WWJD?

Of course you don’t know that DEI is about being fair, treating everyone equally and with respect, making sure everyone has equal opportunity to a good education that insures a good job. How can you have a moral compass when you only value law and order for the non-wealthy and think the wealthy can get away with all kinds of financial crimes including the greatest transfer of wealth to the top 5% income in the budget bill. This also includes lots of officials guilty of sexual assault. That’s no surprise when your president, the leader of the party is a convicted criminal x 34, hiding payments so voters wouldn’t know about adultery, cheating the vote, defamed a woman that he had bragged about grabbing by her genitals which the judge said was rape, and now it looks like he is extremely scared of the discovery of the “secret” of what he and Epstein did to girls. He liked to look at teenage beauty contestants changing clothes. He met Melania where rich older men party to meet young Eastern European ladies, at the Kit Kat Club. He was attracted to his 13 y/o daughter. Witnesses have testified that they saw him have sex with a 13 y/o. Shame on all of you supporting this. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! But I know you’re all too cowardly to release it all. You’re already picking out the pieces with T’s name on it.

White unqualified traitor says what?

You’re a dumbass

Senator Eric Schmitt you’re a joke dude, give the dei shit a rest already

LOL! What a FUCKING waste of taxpayer money and time!
Is that why Trump fired every single black, trans, gay, and female QUALIFIED person from their high-ranking military positions???
Give us a fucking break. YOU are the bigots, hiring UNQUALIFIED, UNEDUCATED, and UNTRAINED imbeciles.
Your idiot Dear Leader doesn’t even like to be photographed with people in wheelchairs! MY GOD!
And, you can run, Schitty, but you can’t hide…WE STILL WANT THE LIST.

“….Ur-Fascism is based upon a selective populism, a qualitative populism, one might say. In a democracy, the citizens have individual rights, but the citizens in their entirety have a political impact only from a quantitative point of view — one follows the decisions of the majority. For Ur-Fascism, however, individuals as individuals have no rights, and the People is conceived as a quality, a monolithic entity expressing the Common Will. Since no large quantity of human beings can have a common will, the Leader pretends to be their interpreter. Having lost their power of delegation, citizens do not act; they are only called on to play the role of the People. Thus the People is only a theatrical fiction. To have a good instance of qualitative populism we no longer need the Piazza Venezia in Rome or the Nuremberg Stadium. There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People….” – Ur-Fascism – Umberto Eco

We can’t say he didn’t warn us

Wait, wait, don’t tell me.

“…More to come.”

Eric Schmitt (r) [2024 file photo].

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 18, 2025]
It’s been a productive week in Washington.
We passed a $9 billion rescissions package—saving your tax dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse.
I introduced a bill to protect our ICE officers—doubling the federal penalties for those that attempt to harm them.
More to come.
[….]

“Elmo no like Eric.”

Some of the responses:

So you cut Elmo and Antiques Roadshow, etc etc etc – we’re still $4.991 TRILLION in the RED to give BILLIONAIRE$ MORE CASH that WE HAVE TO PAY FOR!! How is ‘saving your tax dollars so TAXPAYERS can pay the BILLIONAIRE$’ a ‘good thing’?

ICE is pulling investigators OFF OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONS so they can COMMIT human trafficking – and you’re rewarding this… ok.

Trump proposing 200% TARIFFS on pharmaceuticals!!! [….]

Will Eric support Trump no matter what?

Yes…he always has, why would he stop now?

Eric, will ICE now be required to show identification and warrants, like law enforcement should? I know you mentioned that you were all about transparency and following the constitution or is that conditional?

Got it. Cancel funds that you’ve already approved. Such leadership!!!

Senator Schmitt head

I don’t support anything you’re doing.

You keep claiming enormous saving from fraud you discovered. Fraud is a crime. Yet Bondi has announced no fraud charges or convictions, or any total $$s recovered from fraud case by case. Why?

How is increasing the debt by $4 trillion saving anything, Sparky?

STOP, JUST STOP WITH THE LIES, PLEASE.

you voted for trillions for corporate welfare and took healthcare from Missourians

I thought Hawley was bad, but you are worse!

LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT. if a group of unidentified masked people surround me and try to kidnap me, i am not allowed to protect myself because they might be ice agents. sorry, eric, if a group of masked unitentified people surround me and try to kidnap me, i will shoot first and be questioned later. either way the results are the same. incarceration in a damp cell for an inderminent amount of time and maggot filled food once a day. what do i have to lose if i attempt to protect myself?

What a smoldering pile of BS

Wow, you think ending free educational TV programming is being productive.

“Elmo sad. Elmo now homeless.”

Friday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
July 11 at 4:14 PM

Remember when they told you tariffs were going to destroy the economy?
Wrong again.
Thanks to President Trump’s America First trade policy, our revenues surged to a record $27.2 BILLION in June—producing a budget surplus for the month.
Not tired of winning. [….]

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Lying dumbass. Tariffs are paid BY THE BUYER. That ‘graph’ is what’s happening to prices.

My favorite part of where Senator Eric Schmitt cites the source where this came from.
Tariff revenue ≠ economic health. Tariffs are taxes paid by American importers, not foreign governments. The cost is passed to U.S. businesses and consumers, meaning higher prices for everyday goods.
A $27B spike needs context. Without knowing if this includes one-time payments, delayed shipments, or changes in customs policy, it’s misleading. The net gain to the federal budget is only meaningful if it offsets broader economic damage.
No economic expert would use tariffs alone to justify a “budget surplus.” Budget surpluses are based on the entire federal revenue stream and spending, not just customs receipts.

We’ve already seen further increasing prices. This is great until there are no more goods to tariff, which is happening shortly. There’s a reason there’s no ships coming in. Train traffic is currently dropping as well.

I dont think Eric realizes that Americans paid all those tariffs. Hes clueless.

Aren’t tariffs still be negotiated????????

And prices are going up on just about everything. I wonder if Eric Schmitt has been to the hardware store lately? What’s the surplus of money(if there really is any) doing to lower prices?

Eric studied Economics at Absorbine Junior College. And still flunked out apparently.

but for some dumb fucking reason.You think those countries are paying directly to the government… CULT

you realize all those taxes are paid by Americans, dont you? Genius.

Tariffs are a TACO tax. Consumers pay the tariff.

only if you buy the product. So if you buy American, it’s no big deal.

And if the product isn’t made in the USA? Tell us how easy it is to just start manufacturing something. Or growing coffee or bananas.
Regardless, tariffs are a tax.

You buying American grown coffee? Idiot.

What a daft statement, when are you up for election?

Not soon enough.

Taco keeps waffling. Didn’t think the tariffs were in effect yet.Tariffs = more tax on consumers. Why did you vote to kick people off their insurance ?

All from the additional taxes on Americans

Here is a fact that you conveniently ignore. A tariff is paid for by the importer. If an importer brings in coffee from Brazil with a tariff that costs them 40% extra. the American importer pays that 40% tax, not the Brazilian exporter. If you believe that the American importer will not raise the cost to the retailer to pay for the coffee, you are naive. In the end American companies and American consumers are paying for all the tariffs . Those billions of dollars trump has bragged about have come out of the profits of importers and other companies, and the pockets of American consumers.

I can’t believe I voted for you. I’ll ensure there’s someone better on the next ballot-if we get another vote 💁🏻‍♀️

You can’t say you weren’t warned.

Lies

This comment section is beautiful lol

Yes, yes it is.

That’s what happens when you raise taxes instead of cutting them. That’s right Eric..tariffs are a tax on the little people. Imagine how much better the budget would look if you taxed billionaires instead instead of giving them big tax cuts??

Eric, I work 2 jobs. Both in sales. One is at Dollar Tree where the prices just jumped from $1.25 to $1.75 on most items. To you, that may not seem like a lot, but for those folks on fixed incomes, or trying to raise a family, and yes we sell food too, this will hurt them. The other job I work is selling plumbing supplies. Water and sewer pipes went up 20 percent. These costs cannot be absorbed by the business owners. The plumbers who buy from us, and their customers will bear the brunt of these outrageous tariffs. I cannot understand why you support this. You are literally sticking it to your own constituents. The worst part is that you don’t care.

And do you even read the comments in your feed? Or do you turn a blind eye to the truth?

90 deals in 90 days ended with zero deals and higher prices.

Uh no! Are you that stupid or just gas.lighting?

Yes.

LIAR ! LIAR!! these are tariffs, not the economy. this isn’t even a current graph. it stop the first day trump imposed tariffs. most of those tariffs have been walkd back because of the devastating effect they had on the stock market. currently the stock market is up and tariffs are down. let’s see what happens in august when TACO AND THE GANG impose additional tariffs.

Any republican in any office is a dark shadow on this country.

The money is coming from us! 🤣🤣 us citizens. Yall can’t really be this dumb. 🤣🤣

REmember when The Mango Mussolini swore over and over the EXPORTING COUNTRIES were paying the tariffs directly into the Treasury?
No?
That tariff money is being paid by AMERICAN CONSUMERS.
It’s a TAX for electing a moron-in-chief to run our country. And you’re enabling him. Do better.

You stupid fuck. Customers pay tariffs. Any revenue increase from tariffs means customers paid more. Also, why don’t you source your graph?

Hey Stupid, TARIFFS ARE TAXES!! You raised our taxes, and the economy is slowing. And I think you have an election next year, when the recession has settled into stagflation.

Liar. Stop this you are just making yourself look foolish.

My 33oz of Folger’s coffee…FROM WALMART…went from $16 to $20 just three weeks ago!
You are a disgusting, sleazy liar, Schmitt.

OMG, such utter bullshit!!!! What’s the source of this alleged graph???? Did Trump use his Sharpie again???
You fucking idiot.

American businesses and consumers essentially taxed, forced to pay more for finished goods and raw materials they NEED.

Misleading propaganda from Eric. Lying is the mother’s milk of MAGA

Bootlicker

Who paid the tariffs moron

That didn’t go well.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Last week, in anticipation of the “No Kings” events across the country. It didn’t age well:

Eric Schmitt
June 12 at 2:18 PM

George Soros is bankrolling “No Kings Day”—a national day of riots—on June 14th through one of his leftist NGOs.

Soros financed the mass migration crisis. Now he’s mobilizing his army of illegal aliens and far-left activists to try to stop President Trump from ending it.

The Left wants to nationalize the riots in Los Angeles. On June 14th—the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army—they’re planning to organize 1,500 “No Kings Day” protests across the country. They call it a “nationwide day of defiance.”

The organizing group, Indivisible, was founded in 2016 to fund, organize and mobilize anti-America and anti-Trump protests.
It has received more than $7.5 million from George Soros since 2017.

These protests aren’t confined to Los Angeles or New York City—they want them to spread deep into the heartland. Over a dozen are planned in my home state of Missouri. And not just in St. Louis and Kansas City—but in small towns like Fayette, Maryville, Union, and Clinton.

This is one of the more brazen acts by the Left and the Soros empire since the BLM “Summer of Love” burned down towns and cities across America in 2020.
President Trump will control the unrest as he has in Los Angeles. My office is working with state and local law enforcement to keep Missourians safe. Violent acts will be met with the full force of the law.

We are not going to let them run the 2020 playbook. Never again.

That’s just crazy talk. It has no resemblance to reality.

“…George Soros is bankrolling “No Kings Day”—a national day of riots—on June 14th through one of his leftist NGOs…”

Jew, Jew, Jew!

You’re confusing the date with January 6, 2021. The location was in Washington, D.C. It was an insurrection. And it was promoted by Donald Trump (r)

“…Over a dozen are planned in my home state of Missouri. And not just in St. Louis and Kansas City—but in small towns like Fayette, Maryville, Union, and Clinton…”

Actually, it was closer to thirty events. Does that make you pee your pants more, Eric? Just asking. We were in Clinton (see below). After the march they held a picnic in a local park. Hamburgers and hotdogs, and people brought dishes and desserts to pass.

“…My office is working with state and local law enforcement to keep Missourians safe. Violent acts will be met with the full force of the law…”

Spoiler alert: Nothing of the sort happened. But RB’s pasta salad was delicious.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Wowzers, didn’t know I was gettin’ paid!!

Same here!! Where’s my check???

right??? I hope Soros didn’t lose my address

right? Where is my check? Or is it crypto these days? 😂 MAGAts are so gullible. Meanwhile tRump is running a Craigslist ad asking for PAID SEAT FILLERS AT THE 🤡 show on Saturday.

The only ones getting paid are the people at the Fake ass Trump parade.

according Herr Schmitt Soros is paying every demonstrator in every country in the world. Schmitt also claims that vaccines are poison and before 1-20-21 there was absolutely no diversity in the US military.

You’ve got to share whatever you’re smoking, it’s a lot better than what’s on the retail market.

Protests are not riots 🙄 it is a free speech right.

Shouldn’t a senator know the difference between a riot and and a 1st amendment right?

He supposedly has a law degree from reputable institution, too.

I know plenty of people planning to join a protest this weekend who are brand new to protesting. They aren’t doing it because they’re getting paid. They aren’t doing it because they’re “radical leftists.”
They’re doing it because the very tenets of democracy are being threatened daily, and they know that democracy requires the attention and voice of the people.

You can’t do anything to stop a peaceful protest, it’s every citizen’s right to protest.

Senator. Serious question – if someone is paying someone to protest (a job), shouldn’t the recipient pay taxes on said wage? Why doesn’t the IRS go after both the payer (should issue a 1099) and the payee (should receive a 1099 and pay taxes on the wage)?

Consult your accountant or tax preparation professional.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done had you lived in Germany in the 1930s, you’re doing it now.

Do they realize red states like Missouri you can open carry so they better be careful!

Uh, isn’t the whole 2nd Amendment fetish thing about a tyrannical government abusing Americans and the Constitution?

I thought guns were for standing up against a tyrannical government? Yet there you sit.

So, you aren’t against a facist dictator wanna be. Got it. Keep licking those boots. Sounds like you’re the furthest thing from a patriot.

the true patriots are protesting.
The oath is to our constitution.

what about the other amendments they’re stepping on ?

Do they realize red states like Missouri you can open carry so they better be careful!

are you saying it’s okay to shoot peaceful protestors?

Hey[xxxx]! You know that means everyone can open carry! Why do you people always assume that only Maggots own firearms?

So the citizens of Missouri are not allowed to have peaceful protests as guaranteed by the constitution. St Louis had two yesterday and there was no problem. Sir I I think you are the problem

he did not say there can’t be peaceful protests. He said that the riots are gonna try to be done in our towns and cities. All of you need to REREAD his post.

Let’s all bookmark this one.

The problem with fanciful predictions like Eric Schmitt’s (r) is that when they inevitably don’t come to pass he always ends up looking like a dumbass. Though, his MAGA base, with the collective attention span of a gnat and the long term memory of a ripe banana, carry on as usual.

Protests are not riots

I’m not far left. I’m a middle of the road moderate but I cannot in any way support any activities or policy of the current administration. This is not the country that I grew up in and it is definitely not the country that I want to live in

I’m a protestor. I want my cut. I had to pay for my own damn signs.

How do you “call and see it for what it is”…if it never happened??? Oh wait – that’s right – it’s MAGA Cult…so you cultist just make shit up.

Where were you on January 6th?

None of this is true. Peaceful protests in Springfield. People were respectful, kind and true patriots. Not everyone that is American has to be far right leaning. No one I was with or talked to was paid by anyone to be there. We just want to live in a country that cares for and about its people with compassion and fairness. This is from a 23 year Army combat veteran.

Wait, we’re getting paid? 😂

Schmitt wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in his big fat ass!

The beauty of this country – and what sets us apart from authoritarian regimes – is the right to debate, disagree, and and express a diversity of perspectives. You will never change that. Why do you demonize those of us who love that aspect of America? We are Americans and we love our country as much as you do. There will always be people who take their passions to the next level of confrontation – like the few who looted stores in LA or the people who attacked our capitol on January 6th. What happened in LA was not a riot (I was there) and the National Guard had nothing to do with quelling any violence. They were there to guard federal property, that’s it. The protests scheduled for Saturday will likely be peaceful. This is our right as Americans. True leadership brings diverse perspectives together. It doesn’t demonize, mock or demean, and it definitely doesn’t inflame an already difficult situation.

all the many protests in MO have been Peaceful since the inauguration. Me thinks he doth protest too much.

Thank you! You represent Missouri and America-loving citizens SO well!

Uh.

nearly everything in his post was either a lie or a misrepresentation of the facts. Don’t be so gullible.

What they just said.

I see on the news just now that your MAGA buddies just shot the Minnesota Senator and Representative.

Interesting. Senator, do you have a comment on the statement given by Noem (at the press conference that your respected colleague and Senator was so rudely and unnecessarily manhandled)? I paraphrase, but she seemed to abandon the notion that the national guard and marines are in LA due to violence, while she insisted that they were staying, staying until the present administration takes control of the city (state?) away from the democratically elected Mayor and Governor. This, just because Trump et al doesn’t agree with them! As she herself is appointed, perhaps she doesn’t understand the democratic/voting process, and how we the people choose our governors and mayors? /s It is quite revealing that she said this openly, now that there are more troops on the ground in LA than in the middle east right now?! And after CNN revealed in a deep dive report that as early as February, plans were being made to get armed forces under control of the administration into LA. Hmm. Smells like, no, not teen spirit… a coup! Add to that, the horrible red line crossed when an acting government officials doing his job representing and overseeing things for his state is pushed, shoved to the ground and handcuffed. (No lies, sir, we all heard and saw on video, that he didn’t rush her and *did* identify himself.)

Going to need more facts than a post. Prove this is happening! I believe in free speech and democracy!

he has no proof because it’s a completely made up lie

I must have missed the memo. Where do I sign up. I was going to do it for free. Thanks for letting me know!

Wait, other protestors are getting paid? I was told this is an unpaid internship and the experience would look good on my resume. 😐

We all see what you did there.

I know it may be a blow to your ego, but truly, there are huge numbers of people who don’t like you or Trump. They’re very happy to protest for free!

It’s called No Kings Day bc we don’t have or want a king.
No one is planning to riot. 🙄

Are you not paying attention to all the riots in the cities now?

What riots?

no riots. mostly raids

The ones taking place in LA, Chicago and other large cities. Started out as a protest but then they started attacking people, burning cars, burning American flags, attacking people and businesses, etc. LA is the worse but it is escalating in other cities. That is why the NG has been activated in several states now. It is so bad in LA, the marines were called in.

Same planet, different worlds.

The protests (which are btw still entirely allowed in this country and peaceful until agitators in riot gear show up) are happening because people are PRO-AMERICA and PRO-DEMOCRACY. Read a history book. Or maybe the constitution.

First Amendment of our constitution “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Wow You are really out there now

Gaslight much?

Fact check what you are posting. Your misinformation is the problem with what is happening in our country.
What you posted:
The organizing group, Indivisible, was founded in 2016 to fund, organize and mobilize anti-America and anti-Trump protests.
The statement contains a mix of accurate and inaccurate information. Here’s a breakdown:
Founded in 2016: This is true. Indivisible was founded in late 2016 as a direct response to the election of Donald Trump.
To fund, organize, and mobilize protests: This is largely true. Indivisible aims to empower grassroots activists to resist the Trump administration’s agenda and promote progressive values through various forms of activism, including protests, phone banking, canvassing, and engaging with elected officials. They provide resources and training to local groups.
“Anti-America” protests: This is false. Indivisible’s stated mission is to “strengthen democracy” and “defeat the rightwing takeover of American government and win an inclusive democracy and bold progressive policies.” Their activities are focused on influencing policy and holding elected officials accountable within the American political system, not on being “anti-America.” They aim to defend what they consider to be American democratic values.
“Anti-Trump” protests: This is true. A core part of their initial focus and ongoing activities has been to resist and oppose the policies and agenda of Donald Trump and his administration. They were formed specifically to counter his presidency.

No Eric, the majority of Americans are just opposed to Trumps idiotic bullshit, his lawbreaking and his fascist tendencies.

I’m not getting a dime!! And I am 100% for NO KINGS DAY

Cool story bro. Now try explaining where *your* funds come from
Cuz we out here practicing our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT for FREEEEEEE

Well. The weekend passed with thousands of voices being heard. STL had no violence. All those worries. I think the Governor can call off the state of emergency now 🤷‍♀️

The peaceful protests have been going on a long time. They were started at a grassroots level and have grown in response to President Trump’s attempt to dismantle our government and eventually gain unchecked power. Rather like King George III had when our country decided to rebel against it. It was called the Revolutionary War. And the true minions are those who continue to support an unhinged man as he butchers our government agencies and dismantles what has worked for us for decades.

everybody i have heard from is going for free — if you’ve got the deets on how to get a paycheck, it’d be unamerican not to share!

Can you prove this statement or are you forwarding an anti-Semitic trope once again?

He’s taking a break from accusing ‘The Left’ of anti-semitism by spreading Soros conspiracy theories. Irony is dead.

So it use to be the rothschilds. They just changed the boogey man to sell to its base.

seems like a perfectly sensible question. Eric Schmitt Can you show evidence of what you are alleging?

Once these “protesters” started burning property, burning the American flag, attacking our law enforcement and military members AND especially flying a Foreign flag they need to be arrested and sent to the country they are flying the flag for. Period…no discussion!do you have eyes, ears and a working mind

TEXAS, Petitioner v. Gregory Lee JOHNSON. (1989)

“…After publicly burning an American flag as a means of political protest, Gregory Lee Johnson was convicted of desecrating a flag in violation of Texas law. This case presents the question whether his conviction is consistent with the First Amendment. We hold that it is not…”

Burning the flag is protected speech. Waving another flag is protected speech. Clearly, it needs to be discussed because you do not understand our laws.

It’s amazing to me that you not only feel free to post brazen lies, but that so many believe you.
Wild

Lead. No more rubber.

This sounds like a fun time! To exercise my Second Amendment rights!

The tyrannical government part? Just asking.

Have you read the U S Constitution?

Soros didn’t give me a dime. This is for democracy

Let’s see some proof of all this “financing” bringing people out. Printing flyers and posting memes isn’t a billion dollar activity.

Property destruction and damage while flying a foreign flag should be treated as an act of war and responded to accordingly

Never been out on St. Patrick’s Day.

How can you post this when it’s not even 6/14 yet?

Eric Schmitt (r) is a dumbass (see above).

I’m not a “Left”. I’m not a “Right”. I am an American citizen who stands with the Constitution which provides for three branches of government as checks and balances. There is No where in the Constitution that allows a sitting president to make the executive orders that President Trump has made that by-pass Congress. No one paid me to march. No Left, Nor Right coerced me. I marched for our Constitutional Freedoms.

Egg them

A luxury only available to the most wealthy.

How do I get my check for doing something I would gladly do for free?

Please encourage our governor to be proactive and get the national guard to these planned riots

Yeah, Mike Kehoe (r) preemptively peed his pants on that one, didn’t he?

These were planned way before what happened in Los Angeles. Soros ewww the boogey man . . . don’t ya got anything better than that old trope?

You’re exactly right Eric. Protests are also planned for Lee’s summit Mo. I saw it on another post. These left wing Demonrat nuts need to be stopped. I’m all for peaceful protests but there is nothing peaceful about these protests. I don’t think alot of them know what they’re walking into. In other words what they’re being set up for by Soros and his chronies. Kehoe said he’s ready to call in the national guard. I 🙏 that they wake up and soon. May God protect all of our first responders, national guard and military. Thank you for all you do!

That didn’t age well at all.

Lee’s Summit, Missouri, June 14, 2025:

“…I’m all for peaceful protests but there is nothing peaceful about these protests…”

They call it no kings day but it’s their lord and master George that always wanted to be king. King of the world king George. Should have been taken out a long time ago . Other countries have banned him

Jew, Jew, Jew!

Soros believes in giving back by helping those who are marginalized and oppressed. WWJD?

Thanks for letting me post this Eric. June 14th at the Country Club Plaza, Mill Creek Park. NO KINGS DAY. JOIN us. Peaceful demonstration only. Make your voice known. Time noon-3pm

Heh.

I have been praying protection over our policeman, sheriffs, National Guard, and others. Also, I am praying that the sleeper cells especially in our state, and City Of Springfield will be disarmed, and that any nefarious weaponry of any type will be found before Saturday in the name of Jesus! We are also praying over President Donald J Trump of the United States of America. He is president of this Constitutional Republic!
No other kings but King Jesus!!!

Same planet, different world.

I must be doing something wrong because I’ve never been paid to exercise my right to protest this regime. However, you might check out the Craigslist post offering to pay people in crypto to attend Trump’s little parade. And you didn’t seem to mind Musk paying people to vote. It’s fine to disagree with protestors, but stop the fear mongering and propaganda.

What a long-winded way of saying “JEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWSSSSSSSS!” 🙄

Riots? Fear peddler…

So you don’t believe in the first amendment Eric Schmitt?

Do you have a source for that?? Because where’s my check if true?

The right to peacefully protest is legal. I would not be voting without protests so many years ago! I understand there are at least two dozen protests in Missouri and i would guess it will be peaceful, and not riots as you state. And, as far as George Soros contributions, you are well aware of the money Elon gave to President Trump.

Antisemitism coming from you is not unexpected, but it is very disappointing.

You sound paranoid. We are regular people who are worried for our democracy. You took an oath to defend the constitution. You did not take an oath to defend a person or party. You do not sound mentally well. Wow. Scary.

Just remember… the REAL Patriots are the one standing up against a man who wants to be King… the real Patriots are standing in DEFENCE of our constitution… the Republicans are stomping all over it and it’s time to stop… don’t worry though… we are very good at voting and you won’t be in power forever… no matter what Trump says.

Do you have any proof? As they say “got receipts”? Pretty sure no one needs to be paid to disagree with the actions of the current administration. And peaceful protests are protected by the constitution – any instigators of violence should be prosecuted… whichever side they are on.
The No Kings protests are declared and promoted everywhere as peaceful, and there have been training sessions to show participants how to peacefully protest, even if/when provoked by others. This movement is made up of everyday Americans, who are not protesting for a fee. Come to any of the No Kings protests and see for yourself – your constituents red, blue, purple, are singing, dancing, waving flags, chanting, peacefully but strongly protesting! Read their signs, talk to them, and you will have a clearer picture of what the needs and wants of your state and constituents are!

You mean I can get paid?

The riots are in your mind, Eric Schmitt. Pro-democracy Missouri constituents are protesting peacefully for free. Missourians will be safe if Trump’s thugs don’t assault us. You should really try to do some things that benefit the people of Missouri instead of working to divide us. I hope you can find happiness one day.

Citizen have a right to peacefully protest. Well, maybe not much longer under your regime.

Protesting is free and you can’t stand the fact that some of us cannot be bought.

How can you look yourself in the mirror? Zero violence at one single protest in MO! People are protesting because they care!!

1. No Kings Day is coming, and there’s not a thing you can do about it. There will be millions of people protesting the violence, overreach, and lawlessness displayed by you and the rest of Cult 47.
2. It doesn’t matter what we do or don’t do; you and people who think like you have already decided that you don’t like the message, therefore these are riots and not protests.
3. We already know your authoritarian/fascist playbook. The orange wannabe dictator is going to escalate every situation by using the military. They’ll push protestors to the limit, then say “See? Look at these violent radicals!”
4. Despite your pitiful attempts, we will be seen and heard. Our message will come across loud and clear. You want us to believe that MAGA is in the majority, and they are not. Get ready. This Saturday, No Kings Day, will be one for the history books.

It was.

Warrensburg, Missouri, June 14, 2025:

“No Kings…”

Protests don’t need funding. You throw around Soros funding for what reason? We protest because we disagree with you – we don’t have to sit down or shut up

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the Right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall no be infringed”.
I am calling all military veterans and retired/former LEO’S to take up your Arms and help our current LEO’S handle this Saturday’s coming violence. Form groups of a dozen well armed men to defend their cities from this rebellion! The more groups the better. Remember, nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is the word protest mentioned. “… the right to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances against the government…”.
It is time that ALL factions of the marxist left be put down hard once and for all time in our great Republic! ” … defend the Constitution from ALL aggressors, foreign and DOMESTIC”.
MOUNT UP AND LOCK AND LOAD FOR SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2025!
Semper Fidelis.

Somebody should tell him…

Question, while your assumption of George Soros funding all of these protests and stuff, why is that bad but Elon willing to pay people to vote is quite ok?

Ive never been paid to go to these protests. Can I at least write off my fuel costs on my taxes?

Wrong.
I’ve seen the protests, they’re friends, neighbors, classmates, people I’ve known who have lived in Missouri for generations.
Paid protesters? Where? Who?
Get out of DC, Senator and go back to your home. You may recognize some of the faces you see at the protests.

Apparently Soros has unlimited funds to pay for millions of people all over the United States. Do you idiots really believe this, like you believed people were eating cats and dogs? The dumbest, most gullible people are magats.

Senator, you are an elected senator, you need to start acting like one. You represent US not Trump. Please act accordingly.

Imagine being a sitting Senator and having the time to write nonsense rants on FB. How about you go do your job

Can you imagine how big it’s gonna be in rural American towns. A few clowns standing on the corner of Main St in towns. The best part is the idiots who show up will be seen by their other citizens. Now the town will know the clowns. That usually does bode well for them down the road.

That didn’t age well. The clown is in the mirror.

Literally none of this is true.

Kind of weird to be stroking fear in your neighborhood.

Somebody forgot to take his meds today.

Every accusation is a confession. We know your playbook, loser.

Promoting conspiracy theories is not a good look, Senator. If there are mass protests, it’s because something is wrong in our state and our world. Instead of insulting and name calling your constituents, how about listening to what we’re concerned about? Isn’t that the definition of your job as our elected official? Do better for Missourians, please.

Good!! Someone has to stand up to the dictatorship and clearly you aren’t doing anything. It is our constitutional right to peacefully protest, remember the Constitution?? And the oath you took to protect it?

Ahhhh yes the voice of fascist propaganda. Not today, Satan. 😂😂

Yea! Those damn radicals are cutting Medicaid so my kid can’t go to the doctor and when we vote they overturn our vote, even for higher wages! And how dare they tax the poor and give more money to the rich? And then bankroll politicians like you to lie to us!

Stop inciting even more division. Protests are not riots. Freedom of speech is within the rights of Americans in a democratic society. I don’t know anyone who is being paid in spite of knowing plenty who intend to peacefully be clear how we are opposed to the current administration’s practices.

Cut off the money…what is this NGO? Is it our tax money?

Stupidity may be inherited. Ignorance is a personal choice.

Don’t try that in a small town!

Too late.

Clinton, Missouri, June 14, 2025:

Quit trolling your constituents.

Senator you are full of it.

Shame on you Senator for promoting so much hatred and lies. You are an embarrassment to the state of Missouri. The citizens of our state deserve a much better Senator. We don’t need a Trump minion representing our state.

Ooh this is embarrassing. You probably still have time to delete it.

Your lies are fanning the flames, irresponsible. If you would stand up and block the illegal actions we wouldn’t have the need to have our voices heard. As for LA. There were more incidents of journalists being shot and targeted then actual acts of violence we just want you to know we do not support these inhumane actions, detaining people that are following requirements to be here, cutting programs that help most of us so wealthy can have more money, cutting healthcare, environmental protections, the lack of compassion is astounding and shameful.

First of all, anti-Trump does not mean anti-American. On the contrary. My opposition to the authoritarian, racist, anti-Constitutional behavior of Donald Trump represents the very essence of being an American.
It is discouraging to read that someone who works for me; someone who is paid to represent the best interest of all who live in this State is on the front lines of spreading lies* that put me at risk when I exercise my First Amendment right to peacefully assemble this Saturday..or any day.
I left voicemails with your office imploring you to lead Donald Trump to a better, more Constitutional path. But I see by this post that was a waste of time. Instead of seeing you as someone to offer steady leadership, you are a threat to my rights.
That is very disappointing.
The majority of participants of the assemblies I have attended are mature citizens, with a heavy grandmother contingency. You make us sound like Castro’s Army.
Stop pretending that Democrats and Never Trump Republicans and Independents promote violence. They constantly remind us that violence is unacceptable. Democrat Mayors and Governors repeatedly promise arrest and prosecution to those who commit crimes.
*I stopped using the word ‘disinformation’. That is too benign. I now just call lies what they are. Stop slandering your own constituents and start telling the truth. You will sleep better.

Y’all must be terrified.
Nobody is paying protesters.
We’re showing up free because what’s happening in the country is wrong.
Period.
Oh, and every lie you tell makes us want to volunteer more of our time to stand up.

You’re so full of it. If you really believe the garbage, then congrats on being among the stupidest congresspeople to ever (supposedly) represent the ppl.
Get an effing clue, gaslighter.

For being from the “Show Me” state, you sure operate with a lot of rumors, innuendo and conspiracy theories, Schmitt. smh What a shame. You used to be somewhat sane.

That’s just an unsubstantiated rumor.

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”
