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Apparently, an outdated concept for far too many.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.”

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

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.

Maybe he should ask for his money back.

Really.

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[May 22, 2025]
Mass migration must be met with mass deportations. We filed a bill this week to help President Trump do just that. We shouldn’t have to go through a full judicial review for every criminal alien. Our bill will expand expedited removal—to deport more people in less time.
[….]

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

Criminality of aliens is only discoverable through “full judicial review.” Otherwise, they’re just people.
Remember, innocent until proven guilty? Or are we at the point of brushing aside the alien judicial process for convenience?

You should have to go to Court to prove that they are not American Citizens and are undocumented. That’s what Immigration Court is for and if you had passed the Immigration Bill it would have provided more money and judges to do just that.
You’d rather complain about a problem rather than fix it legally.
Also, someone needs to explain that seeking asylum is not the same as coming from an asylum.

The court has to make that determination. Not ICE, not DHS.

Could you start with trumps 3rd (wife)?

Do you ever think about anything else?

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

he’s trying to distract the rubes from the budget disaster he’s about to vote for

Deportation demands an actual process….not unidentified mask people abducting people off the street…more of a police state….with no due process….a la Russia, China, North Korea.

Wave after wave of immigrants have built this country. Contributed to this country.

Just follow the f’n law. You know, like habeas corpus and the like.

Yes you do have to go through judicial a review.

What’s next? Building ovens instead of flying them out of the country? Who knew the GOP would turn so lawless so quickly?

Coming soon, for everyone:

“Your papers, please.”

Please wait until I get my roof reshingled. And my siding replaced.

Eric doesn’t believe in due process. You’d love to live in Russia or Hungary.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

The problem is innocent people get caught up in such a dragnet. And, that is not a legal way to proceed.

if they are not given due process ie: prove they came here illegally, then anyone can be deported including those who are here legally.

how does that work when masked people showing no identification are snatching people off the street, putting them in the back of vans and taking them away? When did they have the chance to provide their papers?

yeah, those pesky judges upholding the constitution and whatnot.

No.
We have already seen proof that this administration will call someone a “criminal” simply because they are undocumented.
Being undocumented is a CIVIL offense, NOT a criminal one.
Because this administration CANNOT BE TRUSTED to give due process to those who deserve it, they cannot be given the power they wrongly have been assuming.

you and Orange Adolph are the ones who should be locked up.

How do you prove that they’re criminals without a judicial review? [….]

Build an oven, Eric Schmitt. You know you want to.

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

You are the most pathetic, inept administration in history. Aren’t you embarrassed?

So much for your constitional oath, traitor.

You are trampling the Constitution. You are a disgrace to America.
8647
Defend the constitution
[….]

Traitor! You are sworn to uphold the Constitution. Forgot that?

Eric Schmitt so you’ve completely abandoned the constitution. That’s a MAGAt, ultra right wing totalitarian thing to do. You’re on the wrong side of this morally and politically.

Cruelness incarnate is the Republican Party.

Eric Schmitt, you are going to hell, absolutely for sure.

Jesus Christ, they should disbar you.

Damn heritage foundation nazis bullshit propaganda, bunch of fascist white supremacists, destroying our democratic republic constitution, and rule of law, traitors

The solution to mass migration is not sending people back into an untenable situation, but to fix that situation so they don’t need to leave in the first place.
We should start a department of the US government designed to AID people. They can focus on food and healthcare in countries that are unstable and in the neighboring countries so the people fleeing can stay in the neighboring country instead of taking a perilous journey to the us. I think we could call this USAID.

Sarcasm, definitely.

90% of the immigrants are hard working, don’t ask for extras, add 50,000,000,000 in taxes paid, do not collect social security but pay into it when they work, now if tattoos are a sign of a gang and violence is a sign of a gang.. what about the bandidos, hells angels. Proud boys, many in the military?
Go to most any construction sight and you will find many immigrants, without them construction would be very slow.
Eric, you need to change your immigrant policy if you’re after criminals, go after US gangs, mobs, mafia, not innocent people who have committed a misdemeanor that by law does not require imprisonment. You will be unelected next time if you don’t [….]

Without due process, you can not be sure who actually is a “criminal alien”. ICE has already made mistakes.

Mass racism must be met with mass resistance.

F-U

Schmitt knows that all brown immigrants are evil. He wants to send Afghans back home so the Taliban can kill them. He prefers a white SA millionaire who owns a diamond mine.

You’re a fucking embarrassment.

Disgusting fascist

You are a racist asshat.

Senator – we’ll never have to worry about Trump having undiagnosed prostate problems – as long as you have YOUR HEAD PLANTED SO FAR UP HIS ASS!!!

And if they are not criminals? How can you be certain if they are not given due process?
Also, why do you vote against funding FEMA? You abandon your constituents for fealty to the big fat orange liar.
FUCK YOU YOU USELESS WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT

Liar.

Eric Schmitt
[May 14, 2025]
Anyone with half a brain saw Biden’s decline. The press actively tried to hide it. They worked with the Biden Administration to cover for him. They attacked anyone who noticed.Admitting it now – when it doesn’t matter anymore – doesn’t change that.

If it doesn’t matter anymore, then why bring it up?

Some of the responses:

Anyone with half a brain sees 47’s…

Posting and saying all this while your guy falls asleep once per week on camera is peak MAGA hypocrisy. And let’s not forget his health report that included spelling errors and gave him a football players physique.
The comedy writes itself.

It’s becoming at least twice per day. And he stumbles and wanders aimlessly. And he doesn’t understand the “executive orders” he signs…

Speaking of decline, when is the last time you actually sat down and listened to Trump speak for more than 27 seconds? Its nickname should be Rambling Donald

Republicans still talking about Biden because they have zero policies to help anyone but themselves and they need to deflect from their own incompetence.

Eric, it’s hard to take your outrage seriously when you’re ranting about Biden’s fitness while going on Newsmax, a network known for pushing far-right propaganda and getting sued for spreading lies. If tripping or speaking slowly disqualifies someone, then Trump—with his word salad speeches and golf cart dependency—should’ve been your first concern. But this was never about consistency. It’s about scoring points for your base. If you actually cared about leadership, you’d hold everyone to the same standard, not just the ones with a D next to their name.

How bout that gifted plane?
How bout no checks and balances by congress?
How bout the executive branch ignoring the rule of law?
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.
BUT….. Joe Biden!
BUT……Richard Nixon?

We now notice how the current president is in decline and you are actively trying to hide it. But you won’t say anything because of your half a brain.

It’s a cult.

you are nothing but 47s pawn

And we see and hear on a daily basis the rapid decline of our current President, who is unable to speak complete sentences, or pronounce words of more that two syllables. His stock answer is “ I don’t know” and he has embarrassed our country by his behavior at events of importance.

I don’t think the senator listens to his voicemails or reads his comments. He is completely out of touch with his constituents and with American values.

Folks, this is just a deflection.
We all need to be looking at the budget and how that man right there wants to cut Medicaid for 13.7 million people… cut services for veterans….cut services for pregnant women and research for children that have cancer…the list goes on and on.

Yet incoherent babble from 47, got it. You are mad (in the crazy sense, not the angry sense).

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets.”

But you can’t see American’s con man working his schemes over the American people.

Just another typical hypocritical post. Expected nothing less.

Who GAF??? What does that have to do with the current circus?

FFS don’t you have a job to do? Get to work for your constituents and uphold the Constitution. That’s your job Eric.

You are soooo behind the power curve on this! At least he bowed out of running. The brainless idiot that remains is in much worse shape!

We’ve all noticed that you have consistently remained a dipshit. [….]

Even people without a brain know that Trump is not all there. Maybe that’s why you refuse to admit it.

Resign you complicit pandering lying christofascist hack

Thing is, Biden stepped down with encouragement from Dems. Your guy bumbles and stumbles and grifts and breaks law after law while you cheer him on. You have gone against your pledge uphold and defend the Constitution over and over.
Disgraceful.

I’d still pick him over “Dear Leader”. The orange turd has surrounded himself with toadies, sycophants, drunkards, evil lizards in human form (Miller, obvs), incompetent clowns, fascists and Christian Nationalists. Give me an old man with quality people and a competent vice president.

Yes, Biden was in decline. He’s out. Trump is obviously decling. That’s a more pressing issue. He has memory loss ( can’t remember taking his oath, saying Ukraine started the war, etc) cognitive decline ( doesn’t know if he has to follow the Constitution and think he is in a Dictatorship instead of a Constitutional Republic, etc) add that to his frequent naps in front of the media, no clue what the EOs from Project 2025 are that he is signing and his Narcissistic Personality Disorder- there’s your story. Biden is done. Trump deserves to be removed from office. Are you complicit?

there you go trolling again. You’ve delegated your position to fat Caligula and do nothing but try to own the libs. The rampant corruption and racism abounds and you want to trash the former president. Shame on you.

Get off your knees and stand up for the truth. You are enabling an authoritarian and turning your back on democracy. You swore an oath to the Constitution and have forsaken that oath and pledged allegiance to a dictator. Resign and let a patriot who puts country over party fill your seat.

How is attacking a former president representing your constituents? You can’t meet with us but have time to, once again, go on TV to play sycophantic lackey to Trump?

Squirrel!

Your man trump has been obviously uniquely unqualified is every respect to be president since the 1980s. Didn’t stop you band of rogues. Now he can’t form a complete coherent sentence much less a paragraph. Stop with the hypocrisy.

Jesus H Christ on the cross, what are you smoking? The press dogged Biden relentlessly about this for years. It’s your guy you gets serial passes from media on his absolutely obvious decline.

You criticize a decent man while you support a lawless corrupt dictator wannabe. History will not remember you well. You are Missouri’s worst senator and we’ve got Hawley.

Josh Hawley (r) [2024 file photo].

F47 sleeping on ANOTHER world stage, lost. But go on…

Take your face out of Trump’s ass

Every right wingnut republican attack is always a confession.

defunding public education, Eric Schmitt, Fascist pig, grift, Grifters, missouri, right wingnut, social media

Eric Schmitt (r) [2024 file photo].

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[May 12, 2025]
Senator Eric Schmitt
[May 12, 2025]
Every child, no matter their background or zip code, deserves a quality education.
Passing the Educational Choice for Children Act will help make school choice a reality for kids across America.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Eric Schmitt, yet Missouri (like other Red states) has been consistently ranked among the worst in education. What have you done in your career to help with that? Not a damn thing.

School choice has been proven NOT to provide quality education for all children. Just the opposite. Those who already could afford private education pay less. The rest of the children get left behind.

vouchers and school choice do not make education accessible for all
It takes money away from public schools, and makes private schools more accessible to the rich.
What happens to all of the other kids who not only do not benefit from vouchers but who now have even worse public school systems?
Or do we just not care about them?

the rich can already afford private school, choice allows lower income folks to attend private school

look at the research. School choice time and time again benefits the rich, not those who truly need it.

Families have always had a choice of where to send their children to school. Stop trying to dismantle public education.

Yup cuz the rich kids need a coupon.

Hmmmmmm if only there were… schools… in every community… like, community schools! And they were… hmmmm…. Funded?!! Wow! I think you’re on to something here… a series of schools funded by the government and managed by, oh, we’ll call it “the department of education” —— yeah. I agree! Let’s fund our community schools and ensure they’re high quality!!

No, it’s not about funding. Schools that spend more do so because they need to make up for poor living situations. These same schools struggle with performance because these students have more challenging home lives.
Zip code is the most closely correlated determinant of academic performance. Secure home lives and involved parents determine performance above all else.
This is why private schools can often appear to perform better. It’s self selecting. By the way, private schools have to requirement to admit marginal students, so any comparison to public schools are poor by design.

[….] Selection bias skews averages because private schools don’t keep poor students. The don’t take disabled students.
Compare income adjusted demographics and performance is the same.

if we know that the root of academic performance is family life how do we repair this so that students may benefit? I personally think universal healthcare is a start.

Bingo!

Eric, this legislation accelerates the undermining and destruction of the public school systems.

He considers that a feature, not a bug.

Not about choice…..gutting public education….too democratic…..funnel public funds to private schools run by religious organizations or their billionaire oligarchs…..to rich people who already can afford to send their children to private school……which can pick and choose…..what happens to children with IEPs? All laid out in Project 2025….written by white Christian Nationalist and those in Opus Dei. [….]

This is just a subsidy for parents who would already likely send their kids to a private school. Now they just get to do it on the taxpayers’ dime while resources are being diverted from already underfunded poor public schools. Another grift by those who think they are smarter than the rest of us.

everyone’s taxes go to public education. It’s a vested interest of the entire community to have an educated public.

yeah…people say that, but it’s simplistic and somewhat misleading. US middle class students do just as well as other middle class students in most other industrialized nations. That’s actually impressive considering US kids spend less days in a classroom. But US public education has notably higher rates of poverty than most other countries. Furthermore, because of the backwards way the US funds education, students in poverty tend to actually have less funding than middle class students. So if you factor in poverty, thr US holds its own.

The establishment of a free public education was never about your personal children. It was to create a society in which the electorate and future employees could help make society as a whole more cohesive and prosperous for all. That is why those without children, elderly people whose children are grown and many others still are required to pay. It is about supporting the type of communities we want to live in. If you choose to pay for another type of education for your children, that is certainly your right, but it doesn’t absolve you of helping pay for a benefit that supports your entire community.

School choice has failed in every US state that has attempted it. Pass.

I’d say let us vote on it, but we’ve seen how that played out to “give it to the states.”
Voted for abortion rights, we spent the entire legislative session fighting against all the bills republicans were trying to pass to overturn the will of the voters.
We voted for workers rights and guess what… republicans spent the entire session trying to scrub the vote saying the language on the ballot was illegal and the voters were confused about what they were voting for.
Education vouchers have been overwhelmingly unpopular in every state trying to force it onto its citizens. Any politician who pushes this is a sell out to private schools and their interests.
Who from Herzog is funding your campaign for reelection? Follow the money and I bet there’s a tie in there somewhere.

Nice word salad to cover up the REAL reason.

My tax dollars should go to only public schools…………not private institutions, especially not those related to religious ones.
PS: Why aren’t you worried about lack of health care and Head Start instead?

No, public dollars are not divided up into who goes to what school. There are many childless folks that pay into the taxing system to help pay for public education. We are some of them.
Do I vote yes on every school levy? I do, because I know investing in our children is important, and previous generations invested in me! But if public schools are not ‘good’ enough for your kids………..then you pay for the privilege of sending them to private schools, but don’t ask me to spend my money to do so. Especially not religious-based private schools.

I couldn’t imagine being as big a coward as you are.

Hey Eric? What say you about the Melon Felon trying to accept a $300 MILLION gift from Qatar? Do you have any spine at all to stand up against this nonsense?

Multiple news reports say it’s $400 million.

Personally, I’d like to take this to the next level and have vouchers from community parks so some people can subsidize sending their kids to private country clubs.

We see what you did there.

This right here is bullshit. Public money, public schools. Private schools are fine, that is your choice. “Universal”?
I thought Repugs were all for states handling their business? Well MO is an R state and they just gave private schools 50 million taxpayer dollars. How much more do they freaking need to pick the kids they want to play sports?

MASA. Make Americans Stupid Again.

Risky and Reckless.

Except when it’s not

Today:

Eric Schmitt
[May 8, 2025]
Habemus Papam!
It’s Cardinal Robert Prevost.
An American Pope!
Praying for Pope Leo XIV as he leads the Catholic Church and carries forth Christ’s mission here on earth.

Forget about this one?:

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

He doesn’t seem to approve of MAGA very much. 🤣. But, what man of God would?

And you…you lick the boots of the Antichrist.

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

And he is a Naturalized citizen of Peru. He supports those in Central America seeking freedom in the United States. The absolute opposite of you boot lickers that choose to worship trump.

He does not support the trump regime. He is ANTI maga and has made that stance clear.
You pretend to be catholic, yet go against the teachings of Jesus, and the leadership of the Pope. Not a good look.

You only pray for your own wealth & demise of the most vulnerable.Holy words do not belong in the mouth of such a cruel & selfish person, you’re not a man. You are the antithesis of any spiritual teachings, especially the Pope’s.

Good try Schmidt. He is opposed to your masterTrumps policies on immigration. Your MAGA thick and through. Pope is not for individuals who suppress human rights and hate the poor. That would be YOU..

Eric Schmitt, criminals and bigots like you have nothing in common with holy men like the new Pope.

Y’all know there’s no such thing as a hateful Christian right? Do you check the hate spewing BS at the door when you go to mass or wear it proudly while you pray?

I bet you’re heart broken it wasn’t tRump!
Boot licker

Pray four yourself, that you will find the strength to stop kissing the ring of the Antichrist.

Post the Trump Pope picture! He’s your religious leader!

Well, Donald Trump (r) did.

Who does not like Trump nor his “mass deportation” BS.

Pope Leo XIV is a true Shepard of Jesus. He is not pleased with the way our immigrants are being kidnapped and sent to prisons without any due process. Many Americans are not pleased with this either. Please insist on due process. It is part of our constitution which you took an oath to follow.

He won’t suck up to Trump like Eric.

Yall about to watch the whole world respect someone’s “ chosen name”. It’s that easy!

There’s that.

So it IS possible to respect a person’s chosen name.

He is a champion for those who you attack.

Shame on you for hurting the most vulnerable Americans.
You should roast.

I don’t believe it is appropriate to proclaim him an “American” Pope. Yes, he was born in the U.S., but for all intents and purposes, his ministry has been Peruvian based. He is basically an extension of the Francis Papacy and will continue his destruction of the Church.

Apparently, the new Pope isn’t sufficiently what for some people?

Keep vance away… probably not an issue since he loves immigrants and people less fortunate.

You’ll hate him

He was a close confidant of Pope Francis and a strong advocate for immigrants and the poor. I hope he expands and continues the love, mercy and humanity of his predecessor. Teaching the true meaning of Jesus and not a bastardized abomination of what American Christianity has become.

Pope Leo the 14th – a man who has demonstrated following Jesus, completely unlike you.

Why would a devil worshipper care about the Pope?

That didn’t go well.

Failing to read the room, or anything else

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

Sunday:

Eric Schmitt
[April 27, 2025]
I don’t get it.
[….]

Some of the comments:

You really do not understand that is a small car?
On paved, narrow and crowded roads that car works great.
Colorado mountain gravel roads give me a jeep.
Missouri rural roads and the need to haul trailers for livestock, feed – give me a truck set up for towing.
Different vehicles for different task and driving conditions.

You should start making a list of the things you don’t get…

Who is paying for your vacation? Does DOGE know?

I want his answer as well. A lot of people are losing their jobs and groceries are getting higher and that’s not what was promised. Why does he get to have a free trip?

i see him crashing the economy, groceries are still up in price, Canada is no longer a friend, tariffs will cause a recession ( many economists predict). Removes non criminals and sends to El Salvador, sides with Putin, refuses to accept what SCOTUS said about returning Garcia to the US, and so much more. What am I missing? Why do you support this man who is destroying our democracy? All I can say, you must be in a cult.

Dude….read the room.

Yep. He is doing that Ugly American thing in real time. Like his Dear Leader. [….]

What exactly don’t you get?
The fact that the country you are in is less than half the size of the continental U.S. therefore the vehicles are not built for comfort but for the purpose of getting from point A-B. Most shopping in the country you are in is probably done more on a daily basis opposed to weekly and because of previously laid infrastructure can be done within walking distance of where people live.
I could understand why you don’t “get it” when you do not seem to understand the daily struggles many of your constituents may face every day such as food deserts, lack of public transport, lack of healthcare, etc.
How about you try to see the world in the way of the man who’s funeral you were there to attend. I sure hope my tax dollars did not pay for your trip there.

And a lot of us don’t get you. Please start standing up for our democracy, and just be decent.

There is a lot that you don’t get – tiny cars are the least of it.

Meanwhile in Missouri … working class people are struggling and you are privatizing public education .. have a wonderful vacation on the backs of your constituents

You clearly don’t get a lot of things, bootlicker.

The number of things you don’t understand astounds most of us…
Due Process
Checks and balances
Empathy
How democracy works
The people you are supposed to represent
The importance of national security
What an oligarchy is
How to make useful laws that protect Americans
What a tariff is and how it affects the average Missourian

Cause Donnie didn’t tell you what to think about it

The list of things you ‘don’t get’ is very long.

Obviously, there is so much you “don’t get”. Therefore, just “get out”.

It’s a car, Eric.

Senator, apparently there are a lot of things that you don’t ‘get’. For one, you are supporting a POTUS that is obviously trying to gain complete power of our country and feels entitled to ignore our Constitution. And to ignore due process. Plus, you act as if you are only the Senator for those who voted for you. Please, do better.

There’s a lot you don’t get. It’s not surprising.

Of course you don’t.

It doesn’t surprise me that you don’t get it. You’re not that bright.

I mean you don’t “get” most logical things so that adds up.

I’ve have heard you traveled to Rome for the Pope’s funeral. Happy you got to go and hope as a taxpayer I didn’t help pay for your trip. I was in Rome about 20 years ago. They were driving those small cars back then too !! It’s called being frugal, gas is expensive there, parking spaces don’t exist, get it ???

Using only what you need and not being wasteful. If you don’t get it now, you should work on learning it.

Perspective… people that live in cities don’t need massive vehicles

Focus on doing better for Missourians, as opposed to this irrelevance.

Maybe come back to Missouri. Do a town hall. We can explain it to you!

You do not have to get it. You just have to do your job!!!

It’s for people who have other priorities than showing off.

It’s a small fuel efficient car. I hope that helps.

It’s a different culture.
Typical stance on anything not American.

Oh honey, that’s not all you are not getting 😂

What don’t you get? It’s a vehicle that’s appropriately sized for its environment. All environments don’t need 4 ton behemoths to transport one person (an argument could be made that none do but that’s a different story).

Add it to the amazingly long list of things you don’t get. Democracy and decency, to name two

You don’t get a lot, including the law. You go to Italy & then mock their country? You should never have been at the Pope’s funeral. You are the antithesis of what he taught.

Rome is over 2000 years old. Roads weren’t built with cars in mind. Why was that hard?

This is why the rest of the world hates Americans. Can you not embarrass us abroad?

We realize you don’t get a lot of things.

Obviously this idiot hasn’t been to Europe where people pay a lot more for gasoline and don’t drive gas guzzlers. Their streets are also very narrow And only small cars can go through.

I can’t believe what a fascist-loving idiot you are. You are an embarrassment.

Did you drive in Italy, senator?? lol. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Most Americans are too scared to drive in Italy. The ones who don’t know better, can’t drive in Italy because they can’t drive a stick. lol.
Try not to show too much of your arrogance and ignorance while abroad. As if you could help it.

“What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” – U.S. Holocaust Museum, Holocaust Encyclopedia, “Concentration Camps”

“…nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” – 5th Amendment, United States Constitution

“Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.” – Article 6, Universal Declaration of Human Rights – December 10, 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A)

“Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.” – Article 16, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, General Assembly resolution 220A (XXI) of 16 December 1966, entry into force 23 March 1976, entered into force for the United States on September 8, 1992

“…This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land….” – Article VI, United States Constitution

Last week:

“…It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done.

This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear….

….Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph….

….In sum, and for the reasons foregoing, we deny the motion for the stay pending appeal and the writ of mandamus in this case. It is so ordered.” – UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT, No. 25-1404 (8:25-cv-00951-PX), KILMAR ARMANDO ABREGO GARCIA v KRISTI NOEM; TODD LYONS; KENNETH GENALO; NIKITA BAKER; PAMELA JO BONDI; MARCO RUBIO (April 17, 2025)

Why does Eric Schmitt hate the Constitution and due process of law?

Eric Schmitt (r) [2024 file photo].

Eric Schmitt
[April 21, 2025]
Democrats care more about illegal aliens than American citizens.
They’ll roll their eyes if you say that. But it’s true.
They’ve never shed a tear for American communities destroyed by mass migration.
But they’ll fly to El Salvador for a photo op with a deported criminal.
[….]

Obviously got his law degree in a box of national name brand molasses-flavored, caramel-coated popcorn balls and peanuts.

“…But they’ll fly to El Salvador for a photo op…” You haven’t been coordinating your talking points with Jason Smith (r), have you?

Fascist pornography (April 16, 2025)

Clowns.

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

It’s called Due Process of law, Eric Schmitt.
It’s everyone’s right under the constitution, or have you forgotten that?

It’s honestly amazing how confidently wrong you are. In Zadvydas v. Davis (2001), the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution’s protections, including due process, apply to all persons in the United States, not just citizens. In Plyler v. Doe (1982), the Court reaffirmed that undocumented immigrants are “persons” under the 14th Amendment, entitled to equal protection. And in Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886), over a century ago (was America “great” back then?) the Court ruled that constitutional protections apply to “all within the territory,” regardless of citizenship. But hey, don’t let facts or 200 years of constitutional law get in the way of your Facebook rant.

Also, see above.

That is completely wrong. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that everyone on U.S. soil, citizen or not, is protected by the Constitution. That includes due process and equal protection under the law. You don’t get to ignore the Constitution just because someone’s undocumented. If you’re okay with the government breaking the law today, don’t be surprised when it’s your rights they ignore tomorrow.

That’s nonsense. No one flew to El Salvador for a “photo op with a criminal.” They went because due process matters, a principle that protects all Americans, even the ones you don’t like. Meanwhile, if you actually cared about American communities, you’d stop pushing policies that are wrecking them, like tariffs that crush small businesses, tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, and cuts to public services. Blaming immigrants is just a lazy way to dodge responsibility for the damage you’re helping cause.

The thing about Garcia is that he is allowed due process per the constitution. A judge in 2019 said he could not be deported to El Salvador because he would be killed. So he got a stay. Now was he a gang member? Did he beat his wife? Did he have drugs on him or a wad of cash? Maybe and if he did then a simple due process in the courts would have found him guilty and said yep deport him and away he goes. But because he did not get his day in court the SCOTUS 9-0 said no you have to facilitate to get him back to have his day in court. Now should illegals be allowed due process, again maybe not, but that is not the law, the law is they are allowed due process through immigration court. So now the administration has broken the law, oh but that is okay he was a bad dude. Well what about next time, or what about all the students who are los their Visas ( because they may have a speeding ticket, or maybe overstayed their visa by a month. Again if the President no longer does due process then what stopping him from saying you or I are criminals and we need to be sent to a detention center, maybe we are horrible criminals and need to go out of the country. We start sliding down the slope of losing the law, there will be no law left. This is not about Garcia this is about due process. Think about that.
Fifth Amendment – Guarantees that “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The term “person” applies to all individuals in the U.S., including undocumented immigrants (Zadvydas v. Davis, 2001).
Fourteenth Amendment – Ensures equal protection under the law and has been interpreted to extend certain legal protections to noncitizens.
Supreme Court Precedents – Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886): Recognized that due process protections apply to all “persons” in the U.S., not just citizens. Plyler v. Doe (1982): Prevented states from denying public education to undocumented children, reinforcing that noncitizens have rights under the Constitution.

That’s not what our laws say, no matter how many times you shout it.
Crossing the border illegally is a civil violation, not a criminal one, for first-time offenders. It’s governed under Title 8 of the U.S. Code, not the criminal code. Yes, re-entering after removal can be a federal crime, but entering without inspection is generally treated as a civil immigration offense, not something that makes someone a “criminal” under criminal law. More importantly, our Constitution and legal system guarantee due process to all people on U.S. soil, regardless of how they arrived. That’s not just my opinion, that’s been upheld in multiple Supreme Court cases. We’re not El Salvador or North Korea. We don’t get to skip trials just because we don’t like the person. If you think saying “this has been our laws forever” makes it true, then you need to read the actual laws.

Yes, it was a taxpayer-funded trip, like every congressional visit to war zones, disaster sites, or foreign allies. And let’s not pretend this outrage is about spending. Several Republicans, including Kristi Noem, Jason Smith, and Riley Moore, also visited El Salvador’s CECOT prison on the public’s dime. Noem and Moore used inmates as a photo backdrop. If that’s not a photo op, what is? You only get mad when the destination doesn’t match your politics.

Calling me “delusional” doesn’t change the facts—it just shows you don’t have a real argument.
In Zadvydas v. Davis (2001), the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution’s protections, including due process, apply to all persons in the United States, not just citizens. In Plyler v. Doe (1982), the Court reaffirmed that undocumented immigrants are “persons” under the 14th Amendment, entitled to equal protection. And in Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886), the Court ruled that constitutional protections apply to “all within the territory,” regardless of citizenship.
This isn’t controversial. It’s settled law.
You don’t get to wish away someone’s rights just because they’re undocumented or because you’ve labeled them a “criminal” without a trial. If the government can ignore court orders and skip appeals today, your rights might be next.
Maybe you’re fine with authoritarianism when it’s aimed at someone else. I’m not.
Stop pretending it’s patriotic to trample the Constitution. It’s cowardly, it’s lawless, and it’s completely un-American.

The only felon I know is the 34 count convicted felon that is destroying our country and you’re kissing his butt as he plays president

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

“…But they’ll fly to El Salvador for a photo op…”

lol that’s funny. I believe it was our own Republican Rep Jason Smith from Missouri standing in front of the cages full of people in El Salvador just last week.

Yep.

Jason Smith (r) [2024 file photo].

I think Jason still wears polyester.

Sure looks like it.

Without due process we all loose our freedom. America Rise.

Eric Schmitt, you might seriously consider posting less often on Facebook. Your opinions are a reflection of who you are and it’s apparent from your posts that you are a Trump sycophant, an echo chamber of disinformation and outright lies laced with discrimination and debasement. Please remember you took a solemn oath to abide by the Constitution, not to smooch the President’s derrière.

Heh. How to call someone an asshole without actually using the word.

“Aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.” U.S. Supreme Court, Shaughnessy v. United States (1953)

these people don’t care about due process or the constitution. They want to be able to throw whoever they want or disagrees with their ideology into a prison outside the US. Them “homegrown”criminals so he put it. Why do you think they loosely throw around the word terrorism or terrorist. This is how they bypass our rights. This regime will fail miserably even with control of the house , senate and Supreme Court. Always out there pointing fingers. Even our president couldn’t say anything nice on Easter. All he did was point fingers and pass blame. Sounding like a broken record. Biden this and Biden that. We get it already…Biden was bad move on and make America great already. How much smoke do you have to blow before people start to realize they are full of it.

You continue to lie and lie, just like your “leader”.

Eric Schmitt, you care more about sucking up to President Trump’s agenda than you do about upholding the Constitution. Shame on you.

You are more about dividing us than just about anything else.

Mr. Schmitt, it would be my humble opinion that you sir need to re-evaluate where your allegiance lies.
Are you bowing to a man with 34 felon convictions pretending to be a sitting president and being the puppet for the Russian premiere or are you prepared to start listening to the will of your constituents and standing up against this vile corrupt administration that is destroying the democracy of this country.

Due process matters.

You’re wrong. He was never found guilty of your claim by a court. The administration accused him and deported him before trying to prove their claims in court and before he had a chance to defend himself in court. By your reasoning, absolutely anyone could be accused and deported and then your spin doctors could claim
their alternative facts without having to actually prove them before a judge. You know better.

Your idiotic leader is who is destroying this country. He has destroyed every good relationship we had with other countries. He’s destroying people’s retirement savings. And you are ignoring the Supreme Court! Idiot.

Such bullshit Eric Schmitt- we care about DUE PROCESS which states that anyone in the US regardless of legal status has that right- I thought lawyers knew about the Constitution

If one person in this country doesn’t have due process, none of us do. Which is why SCOTUS (with mostly conservative judges) ordered this administration to bring the immigrants back.

The allegation is made that he is a MS-13 gang member but there has never been a hearing to find out. Where is the proof? However, there WAS an immigration hearing where a judge determined that sending him back to El Salvador would pose a credible threat on his life thus he was allowed to stay in the US. Also, we have prisons here. Why do we have to send people to El Salvador? Oh, because then our judges can’t intervene when someone is falsely accused. 😡 I remember when Republicans used to call themselves the law and order party. Now it’s a party that takes a 💩 on the Constitution and laughs about it.

Hey man, have you talked with Congressman Jason Smith about his vacation to El Salvador?

Evidently not.

Absolutely not true. People rightfully here, including students who have done nothing, are being kidnapped and taken away without even allowing them to make arrangements for their animals, housing, etc. If one person can be denied rights we all can be denied. Didn’t you take an oath to uphold the laws of the US?!

You’re such a fool Eric.

Aren’t you an attorney? Did you not take constitutional law?

Do tell.

It is not true. You insult a lot of Missouri residents lately. Stop taking cheap shots for your base, Sir.

You should go back to law school, I think they covered the important aspects of what is going on here.

Without due process each and every one of us can be shipped off to God knows where. You know this. You studied law. (Allegedly)

Eric seems to be a real, 100% asshole

Why do all Republicans hate the Constitution? I bet most of you commenting here could not pass the US citizenship test . Look up something called due process, it’s in the Constitution

What Missouri town has been destroyed by immigrants ?

You’re such a liar. And nobody believes your shit. I am ashamed you represent Missouri.

Democrats are not the ones posting lies. Such as picture of hands with MS 13 tattoo. The problem is it was photo shopped. All past pictures do not show such tattoos. Even Senator Kennedy said it was a screw up to send him to El Salvador. Quit trying to justify this screw up and do something about how 47 is sinking the economy. Every day people are losing hundreds if not thousands of dollars in their retirement and legacy funds.
Maybe worry about the DOD Secretary having another signal chat about war plans with his brother and wife.

We care about law and order
Don’t deny due process of law, and there won’t be a problem.
What are you doing about Pete Hegseth and Billy long breaking laws?

Where are neighborhoods being destroyed by mass immigration? You’re spewing dangerous propaganda. You’re going to get people hurt. There is DUE PROCESS for all HUMANS on this soil. We learned that in our Liberty and Law classes in the 90’s. I would hope, in your position of power, that you would understand the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You don’t get to pick the Constitution a part the way you pick your Bible a part. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. You don’t get to rewrite the constitution to fit your terrible agenda toward those who don’t look and act like you. Shame on any American who doesn’t understand the very constitution that protects their rights every single day.

First, name one American community that has been destroyed by mass migration. Second, as an attorney, why don’t you believe in due process? Third, why do you believe a shopped photo of Garcia‘s hands prove that he was an MS-13 member?

You’re such an asshole. It’s hard to believe you passed the bar with such a shaky grasp of the law.
