[….]
The function of the Stasi in East Germany (the GDR) resembled that of the KGB in the Soviet Union,⁠ in that it served to maintain state authority and the position of the ruling party, in this case the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). This was accomplished primarily through the use of a network of civilian informants who contributed to the arrest of approximately 250,000 people in East Germany.
[….]

News item:

[….]
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo.
Schmitt reportedly is being looked at as Trump’s potential attorney general.

That typically independent post will be center stage as Democrats and Trump-opposing Republicans watch whether the president-elect uses the Justice Department to target his political enemies and the prosecutors that indicted him.

Schmitt was Missouri’s attorney general before becoming a senator, and seems to be well-liked in Trump world. Trump often clashed with another senator-turned-AG, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, during his first term. Sessions’ replacement, William P. Barr, eventually left the administration after multiple disputes with his boss.
[….]

Eric Schmitt (r) has plenty of experience, probably more than most:

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s (r) anti-mask public school complaint email address: illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov

illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov – RSMo § 610 – Missouri Sunshine Law – email submissions – part 8 (January 7, 2022)

[….]

[….]
Subject: We stand behind you!

Just kidding. You’re a power hungry fascist. LOL.

No, actually, you are. And that’s sad for you, and scary for me. You don’t represent me, my needs or my priorities. My taxes pay your salary, and that makes me naseous.

Your deperate, unfounded, anachronistic lust for control (guidance) is rationalized by hypocritical religious pablum. You know that, right? In your heart, you do, right. You’re not so dumb that you don’t right?

You’re building a house of cards, Eric, and it will eventually crush you.
[….]

Eric Schmitt
[August 25, 2024]
What is 2024 about?
A choice between the Individual vs The Collective.
The Dissidents vs The Establishment.
Free Speech vs the Vast Censorship Enterprise.

As usual there is much hilarity in the responses:

The PROSECUTOR V the FELON.

It’s about making sure people like yourself never have the majority of power and when possible never be in power.

Well you’re definitely for the censorship of anything you don’t like, I bet you are all giddy about Project 2025

[….] lies lies lies. Trump can’t speak truth.

Weird.

We see what you did there.

You MAGAs always say one thing & your actions are the opposite. I watch what you do & it’s called fascism. November can’t come soon enough. The trumpanzee won’t know his name in a few months.

Who wants to be forced into authoritarian theological rule?
If you support Trump and Project 2025?
Have you decided to abandoned the US Constitution??
Project 2025’s prime objective is to
“Grant the president unchecked power by restricting Congressional oversight and placing the Department of Justice and FBI under direct presidential control….
[….]

To consider anyone in the Republican party (or Democratic for that matter) as being not pro-establishment is absolutely insane. Entirely removed from reality.
You ARE the establishment, you are part of the vast censorship enterprise that’s been funding genocide, you are the farthest thing from a “dissident” that anyone could ever imagine.
The exact same way the Democratic party wears the struggle for justice as a disguise for empire, the Republican party wears a cloak of “anti-establishment” as a disguise for empire, and they all bastardize it to such an unrecognizable extent that we have Republican senators like Eric Schmitt claiming to be anti-establishment while his party pushes possibly the most boot-licker agendas we’ve ever seen.

[….] Surely your morals tell you not to vote for a man like Trump.

Eric Schmitt’s government will very much be with you in the OB-GYN’s office.

It’s about serious policy versus ego driven grievance about crowd sizes, “stolen elections” lies, criminality, sexual assault, business fraud, and random conspiracy theories.

[….] and quite simply Trump is NUTS.

[….] Trump is a loon and we all see it every day. And we will for 70+ more.

Women’s rights versus women as GOP property.
The Insurrectionists attacking our Capitol and our country versus the Right wing extremist party of Lincoln
Democracy versus the Trump-Putin Dictatorship.
Get Lost Schmitt. Come back when you aren’t lying to Americans!

A choice between a Narcissist vs a leader
Democracy vs Dictator
Freedom of Speech vs Vast amounts of misinformation and outright lies

[….] Republicans voted against the toughest border bill ever offered, even Border Patrol agents approved of the bill. Coward Bone Spurs Trump threatened republicans and told them to tank the bill do he would have a fictional issue to run on. The Republicans are WEAK ON THE BORDER!

Btw….where is Josh Hawley? Back home in Virginia?

We see what you did there.

Josh Hawley (r) [2024 file photo].

[….] Yeah bullshit. Hawley lives in Virginia. I own more real estate in Missouri than Hawley does

[….] Schmitt spent millions of tax dollars illegally suing school boards because he is anti-vax/anti-science

Masks. illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov – RSMo § 610 – Missouri Sunshine Law – email submissions – part 1 (January 6, 2022)

[….] does freedom to you mean women get to choose what happens to their bodies?

[….] how does it feel to know the Trump government is all up in your uterus?

It’s about decent (Harris/Walz) vs vile (Trump/Vance)
It’s about Democracy(Ds) vs Authoritarian Fascist(Rs)
It’s about Truth(Ds) vs Lies and misinformation (Rs)
It’s about inclusiveness and working for all the people(Ds) vs hate, division and inciting violence (Rs)
Basically Good(Ds) vs Evil(Rs)

Book banning vs. Book reading.

I’m choosing kindness, empathy, honesty, and light over tRump’s gloom and doom fear politics. I’m tired of him talking shit about America, making fun of and abusing women, stealing from charities, and making a mockery of our country. I’m even more tired of his MAGA goons. His constant whining about how unfair it is that he got caught committing crimes is pathetically weak and extremely nauseating to me. Nothing makes me want to puke more than a fake tough guy who hates everything I believe in. Anybody who wants to go back to the days of tRump is a fool and a sadist who enjoys seeing others in pain.

Eric Schmitt
[July 22, 2024]
[….]Today I’m demanding the Biden Harris cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment.
If Biden isn’t capable of being a candidate, he’s not capable of being President.
My letter to VP Harris and the Biden Harris cabinet members.
[….]

JULY 22, 2024
SENATOR SCHMITT SENDS LETTER TO BIDEN CABINET SECRETARIES CALLING FOR INVOCATION OF THE 25TH AMENDMENT
[….]
“Joe Biden has decided he is not capable of being a candidate; in doing so, his admission also means he cannot serve as President….”
[….]

No genius, Joe Biden has decided he’s not going to run for reelection. That’s it.

What a maroon.

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

[….] you are right. Trump was and is not fit for office.

Biden on his worst day is better than all you Trumpers put together. Trump needs to step aside too. He’s way too old and his mental competency is also questionable. This country needs fresh younger people to lead it

Maybe Joe should bring an angry crowd to the Capitol on Jan 6th and LIKE A PSYCHOPATH attempt to stay in office. Lol

Bro you support a felon who has been impeached twice. Like maybe don’t though.

Of course you are!! Lol. I expect nothing less from you other than wasting money. Fantastic job.

You “demanding” anything is laughable. You and MARGE flip for it??

We’re voting for the YOUNGER candidate who isn’t a convict!

It takes more guts and concern for our country to decide to do what was best for the country and not to run than anything you have done in your short ineffective term. You just can’t stop with the hate and demonization for a man who did an honorable thing.

People are laughing at you

You are pissing into the wind Eric

On the floor. Probably.

You know, perhaps Joe should just go ahead and cancel the election, since Presidents have immunity and all. He can appoint VP Harris to four more years.

Let’s see the speaker thinks states should sue to keep him on the ballot and you want to invoke the 25th amendment to get him out. Which is it?

[….] They never think things through. Mad he was running, now mad he isn’t.

Eric, your demands are meaningless. Spare us the pretend pearl-clutching and posturing. Grow up and concentrate on your job.

That’ll never happen.

Today? You mean, you have had ample opportunity to interact with Joe Biden, but for some reason you suddenly became concerned about his competency? Very interesting.

Trump isn’t THAT much younger than Biden and is on record lookin pretty senile himself. Maybe you should look at your own candidate.

You are incapable of being a decent human. Retiring from a job doesn’t mean you can’t do the job. Gaslighting fascist traitor. Forever.

What a joke. Sit TF down…you look like a idiot.

Ignorant nasty Eric .. just nasty . Dehumanizing for power only .. pretty consistent . Magas don’t govern , they just do nasty while our state gets nothing from this guy .

Corrupt Eric Schmitt didn’t want any amendments invoked when Trump started an insurrection and committed National Security crimes.

You are an asshat.
Biden is not incompetent and your demands are empty and mean nothing.
Kamala will still be what the Republicans are facing. And you have no idea how to handle her. And no way to run anyone but your demented “leader” against her.
Hahaha! I love it!

Demand on, dipshit

Senator, there is a significant difference between finishing 5 months of your term and running for another 4 years. Joe Biden is capable of completing his presidency. Why not honor President Biden for his decades of service instead of making pointless demands.

You are full of it. Low unemployment, high stock market, crime down. Quit telling lies and do something good.

STFU tool bag.

Will you STFU with your utter stupidity! You are disgrace to the state, a disgrace to this country, and just am over all disgusting human being.

Performative salutation

Yesterday, from Eric Schmitt (r):

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 4, 2024] ·
We’re blessed every day to live in the greatest country in the world.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!

Some of the responses:

I agree with this statement, but the propaganda you have spread to convince people, as trump did, that it has become a third world country, and that democracy is dying, our economy is in the toilet, our courts, justice system and voting system are corrupt and illegal immigrants are poisoning our blood says differently. None of that describes the greatest country in the world. so which is the deliberate lie?

There’s all that.

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

Senator Eric Schmitt, while we live in a great country, what exactly makes you think we are the greatest country in the world? Looking at different statistics it could easily be argued we are not the greatest country in the world. We don’t lead the world in healthcare. Our educational system is dismal. We have more incarcerated people than any other country. We aren’t the happiest country in the world.

And you are hell bent to make it a dictatorship again.

Resign hack

I am encouraging all my members of Congress to make it a habit of reading, and contemplating, your oath of office. Then with that starter, plan your day to work for the People of Missouri, and our wonderful nation.

A person can dream.

I don’t believe a word you have to say you back the criminal 45 [….]

34 felony convictions, Donald Trump, Eric Schmitt, Fascist pig, immunity, missouri, Missouri Supreme Court, presidential immunity, right wingnut, sycophant, U.S. Senate

“…Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity. If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop…”

Eric Schmitt
[July 1, 2024]
They thought they could bury Trump and hide Biden.
They were wrong on both accounts.

Fascist pig.

Some of the responses:

Trump buried himself. 30 lies in one debate!

If Trump can get out in front of a Jan 6th crowd & lie about voter machine fraud in Michigan to get them all worked up. Then tweet about his own Vice President which immediately was read to the mob by a loud speaker, having the mob begin to chant “Hang Pence” as they entered the Capital building, I think you’re right. Trumps capable of anything at this point.

That is a very pretty piece of propaganda, but has no more meaning behind it than ‘Plop, plop, fizz, fizz’.

Herr Schmitt has no idea what he is ranting about.

Never before have we had a president say in a debate @i did not have sex with a porn star” ( even though he appears in pictures with her and she and his attorney testified under oath that he did) while his wife was pregnant- what a bunch of SCUM

well for starters the Court more or less handed Trump a Drumhead, since now Biden can in theory go after Trump directly and say ex throw him in Gitmo or have him liquidated under this umbrella of full presidential immunity. Biden need not fear Congress or the Courts since he has been made King with this ruling. He can cancel elections and do essentially what Trump and the Heritage Foundation plan on doing with their Project 2025. So in truth Trump might just have played the wrong card

This why we can’t have nice things.

You misspelled CONVICT and HONOR. Let’s see what spews from your felonious supporting mouth on JULY 11.

34 felony convictions, just to be exact.

Eric Schmitt and his ass kissing

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo}.

The usual lame spin from Eric Schmitt (r):

JUNE 26, 2024
SENATOR SCHMITT STATEMENT ON MURTHY V. MISSOURI RULING
WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Eric Schmitt released a statement on the Supreme Court ruling in Murthy v. Missouri:

“While this isn’t the outcome we were hoping for, this case is a huge win for Americans and for the whole country, because it exposed nearly every part of the Biden Administration’s vast ‘censorship enterprise.’ I’m extremely proud to have filed this case as Missouri’s Attorney General. Many knew that censorship was happening before this case, but Missouri v. Biden and later Murthy v. Missouri broke the dam wide open and showed the entire world the lengths that the Biden Administration and Democrats went to silence disfavored speech. While exposing this censorship is a win, the fight is far from over. I promise that I will never stop fighting to ensure that Americans’ First Amendment rights are jealously guarded, and I will continue to work to dismantle every last facet of the Biden Administration’s censorship industrial complex,” said Senator Eric Schmitt.

Eric Schmitt should pay his communications interns more.

Or maybe he should have created a snitch hotline since it worked out so well the last time.

Putz.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Today at the U.S. Supreme Court:

[….]

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 23–411 [pdf]
VIVEK H. MURTHY, SURGEON GENERAL, ET AL.,
PETITIONERS v. MISSOURI, ET AL.
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
[June 26, 2024]

JUSTICE BARRETT delivered the opinion of the Court.

During the 2020 election season and the COVID–19 pandemic, social-media platforms frequently removed, demoted, or fact checked posts containing allegedly false or misleading information. At the same time, federal officials, concerned about the spread of “misinformation” on social media, communicated extensively with the platforms about their content-moderation efforts.

The plaintiffs, two States and five social-media users, sued dozens of Executive Branch officials and agencies, alleging that they pressured the platforms to suppress protected speech in violation of the First Amendment. The Fifth Circuit agreed, concluding that the officials’ communications rendered them responsible for the private platforms’ moderation decisions. It then affirmed a sweeping preliminary injunction.

The Fifth Circuit was wrong to do so. To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a Government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek. Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction.

[….]

We begin—and end—with standing. At this stage, neither the individual nor the state plaintiffs have established standing to seek an injunction against any defendant. We therefore lack jurisdiction to reach the merits of the dispute.

[….]

The plaintiffs claim standing based on the “direct censorship” of their own speech as well as their “right to listen” to others who faced social-media censorship. Brief for Respondents 19, 22. Notably, both theories depend on the platform’s actions—yet the plaintiffs do not seek to enjoin the platforms from restricting any posts or accounts. They seek to enjoin Government agencies and officials from pressuring or encouraging the platforms to suppress protected speech in the future.

[….]

Louisiana and Missouri. The state plaintiffs devote minimal attention to restriction of their own social-media content, much less to a causal link between any such restriction and the actions of any Government defendant. They refer only to Facebook’s “flagg[ing] . . . and deboost[ing]” of a Louisiana state representative’s post about children and the COVID–19 vaccine. Brief for Respondents 20; App. 635–636. We need not decide whether an injury to a state representative counts as an injury to the State, because evidence of causation is lacking.5 The States assert only that in November 2021, Facebook, “as a result of [its] work [with the CDC],” updated its policies “to remove additional false claims about the COVID–19 vaccine for children.” 37 Record 11,457. But they never say when Facebook took action against the official’s post—and a causal link is possible only if the removal occurred after Facebook’s communication with the CDC. There is therefore no evidence to support the States’ allegation that Facebook restricted the state representative pursuant to the CDC-influenced policy.

[….]

The state plaintiffs, claiming their own version of the “right to listen” theory, assert a sovereign interest in hearing from their citizens on social media. See 83 F. 4th, at 372–373. But this theory suffers from the same flaws as the individual plaintiffs’ theory. The States have not identified any specific speakers or topics that they have been unable to hear or follow.

The States cite this supposed sovereign injury as a basis for asserting third-party standing on behalf of “the citizens they would listen to.” Brief for Respondents 30. But “[t]his argument is a thinly veiled attempt to circumvent the limits on parens patriae standing.” Brackeen, 599 U. S., at 295, n. 11. Namely, States do not have “‘standing as parens patriae to bring an action against the Federal Government.’ ” Id., at 295.

The States, like the individual plaintiffs, have failed to establish a likelihood of standing.

[….]

Eric Schmitt’s (r) waste of money and time lost today, 6-3, in a right wingnut dominated Supreme Court.

That tells us all everything we need to know.

convicted felon, Donald Trump, Eric Schmitt, Fascist pig, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sycophant, U.S. Senate

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Last night:

Eric Schmitt
[May 30, 2024]
Today will be remembered as the day Trump got elected 47th a President of the United States.
The Democrats haven’t begun to comprehend the level of intensity there is to elect Trump now, defeat their Lawfare and reclaim our Constitutional Republic from those who seek to turn it into a banana republic in exchange for political power.

Convicted felon. Fixed it for you.

Some of the responses:

This was a jury of his peers….
Better solution- don’t commit crimes [….]

Good sycophant. You checked the box for daddy.

The criminal? 12 people put truth before personal gain. That’s foreign to your party

So much for republican law and order.

Nah. He’s a lifelong con man, grifter and has now been convicted. Majority of Americans are hard working, honest people.

[….] Gloves are off. Donations are piling in for Trump. In fact the sight has crashed so much.

[….] if you give your hard earned money to a convicted felon you deserve to lose everything. Then beg for help because you are broke. No sympathy from me fool.

Actually the opposite is true. No American is above the law. Support law enforcement.

Sorry, we don’t elect felons [….]

Was this not a jury trial? Can he not appeal? Also, don’t common folk usually sit behind bars during their appeal process? Do you think that will happen to Trump?

Translation: You have no integrity, and you’re willing to do or say anything if you think you might squeeze a little second-hand power out of being a bootlicker.

You are a joke.

He lost the popular vote 2 times dick.

Sitting Congressmen probably shouldn’t be saying that the judicial system is rigged, seeing as they took an oath to defend it.
Your orange clown is done. Grow the F up

And there you have it folks – a perfect example of another one of trumps spineless lapdogs doing all he can to push this BS in a desperate effort to save his own job – especially now that Trump is a convicted felon. All the BS about him supporting the American people, upholding the constitution, and the rule of law is exactly that – BS – as it’s clear what his priorities are…

And:

Eric Schmitt
[May 30, 2024]
Soviet-style show trials have predictable results.
What happened in New York today is no different.
The American people will reject this unprecedented lawfare in November.

Some of the responses:

Shame on you Eric Schmitt when you compare our justice system to Soviet style. These jurors deserve more respect.

Yet had Trump been found innocent of all charges you would be extolling the greatness of our judicial system.
Time to face reality. You, and all other trumpers were conned.

Eric sold his soul a long time ago.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

So who, what doesn’t believe in a jury of his peers???? Your saying he has no peers? Sorry fella, we have NO kings.

[….] the MAGA House has spent 2 years trying to convict Biden of something/anything. MAGA claims that the entire system was rigged against poor little Trump. Give it a rest. Trump was tried just like any other accused person. He had more than a chance to mount a defense.

The party of Law and Order seems to not like Law and Order.

As an attorney, I would hope you could show respect for the jurors. They had a difficult job! The fact that you disrespected them tells me you do not believe in the rule of law. Disappointing.

If trump had been acquitted, you would have posted insults and propaganda This is just as much the rule of law in all its glory as it would have been had the jury not found as it did, the jury which was handpicked by both the prosecution AND THE DEFENSE,

[….] Herr Schmitt got elected for suing school boards over masks and being anti-vax. His side is already threatening the judge which Schmitt will not condemn.

Yep. illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov – RSMo § 610 – Missouri Sunshine Law – email submissions – part 8 (January 13, 2022)

Theatrics

Soviet style show trials? Really?

What are you auditioning for?

His lawyer went to jail for this transaction. He’s now been convicted. How would it not be just for him to serve time in prison?

You sure love those big scary words.

“When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous,
but dismay to evildoers.”
(Proverbs 21:15 RSV)
12 jury members chosen and agreed by Trump lawyers are illegitimate ? GOP leadsership is a disgrace to our country and rule of law .

Eric you are a corrupt ignorant SOB. You are a disgrace to to this country.

You’re a senator. Show some respect for our justice system, clown.

Eric Schmitt breath definitely smells like orange penis. Y’all wanna be the law and order fans but orange guy commits crimes and gets convicted ooh noooo the courts are so corrupt all of a sudden.
Orange fell asleep in court multiple times and never did a lick of jail time for contempt. RED CARPET treatment.
Dont do the CRIME if you can’t do the TIME.
Play stOopid games win stoOpid prizes
Eric Schmitt definitely gonna be in line to give conjugals.

You swore to the US Constitution not to a person.
You have no ethics nor integrity.

Don’t bet on it you chump….

Your party’s the one spewing Putin’s garbage. You’re a pretty shitty lawyer if you can’t see the convicted felon for what he is

Sore loser, huh.

I mean, I feel like the person has to actually be innocent for it to be “soviet-style.”
The burden of proof was on the prosecution and they brought it. I’m sorry that the defense had a weak case. I’m sorry that a jury didn’t buy any of Trump’s lies like you’re used to.
Justice was done. Trump is a felon. Let’s skip the “sore loser” act and move on. Start making things better for the lives of Missourians. Actually better instead of political grand-standing and sucking up to a bully who would turn on you in a heartbeat. Instead of pushing your own agenda against the wishes of those you’re meant to serve.

It’s good to see a politician (especially one this openly corrupt) ACTUALLY fafo. What kind of skeletons do you have Eric? Worried? Afraid that accountability could find it’s way into politics?

Charlatans, grifters, conmen, all prey on gullible, feebleminded fools like Eric. Surely Missouri can do better.

Of course you would say something so stupid!
How dare you compare our court system to the Russians!

Okay twazi simp. So the rule of law only counts when you sue your own school districts. [….]

You’re an absolute joke and your little felon buddy is too.
[….]

Ah, bummer. The “Law and Order” people are upset that Law and Order happened. Too bad.

Orange Alert!
You’re needed on Faux News!!!

Herr Schmitt loves Trump and Putin.

Stop being a snowflake

blah blah blah – whatever Eric

Guilty on all 34 counts

[….] interesting. The defense and prosecution both told the jury to use common sense. Apparently the jury did.

Well trump loves putin

APRIL 23, 2024
Statement from President Joe Biden on Senate Passage of the National Security Package

Tonight, a bipartisan majority in the Senate joined the House to answer history’s call at this critical inflection point. Congress has passed my legislation to strengthen our national security and send a message to the world about the power of American leadership: we stand resolutely for democracy and freedom, and against tyranny and oppression.

I will sign this bill into law and address the American people as soon as it reaches my desk tomorrow so we can begin sending weapons and equipment to Ukraine this week. The need is urgent: for Ukraine, facing unrelenting bombardment from Russia; for Israel, which just faced unprecedented attacks from Iran; for refugees and those impacted by conflicts and natural disasters around the world, including in Gaza, Sudan, and Haiti; and for our partners seeking security and stability in the Indo-Pacific. I want to thank Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, and all of the bipartisan lawmakers in the Senate who voted for this bill. This critical legislation will make our nation and world more secure as we support our friends who are defending themselves against terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin.

Less 1984
More 1776 [….]

Missed it by that much.

Irony challenged. Much closer to 1984 than 1776.

1984 is fiction, 1933 is reality. Maybe read books instead of burning them?
