Yesterday from Roy Blunt (r):

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Over the last 2 years, Congress has provided more than $80 billion for the administration to improve & expand COVID-19 testing capabilities. Congress, and the American people, need to know the administration’s strategy & how @HHSgov is using taxpayer funding.
11:12 AM · Jan 4, 2022

“Over the last 2 years…”

Joe Biden was sworn in as President on January 20, 2021, less than twelve months ago.

On March 18, 2021, nine months ago, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Xavier Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The vote was 50-49.

Vote Summary
Question: On the Nomination (Confirmation: Xavier Becerra, of California, to be Secretary of Health and Human Services)

Vote Counts:
YEAs 50

Not Voting 1

Blunt (R-MO), Nay

[emphasis added]

Roy Blunt (r) voted “No”.

What an asshole.

Some of the Twitter responses to Roy Blunt (r):

Suddenly, you’re so concerned.
[….]

We noticed that, too.

Were you worried in summer 2020 when we learned Jared Kushner spent tax payer $ on test kits and held them back? I had covid in July 2020 and waited in line 5 days in a row for 2 hours a day to get a test. We still don’t have an answer about where those tests went? Why?

Isn’t this a state problem? Isn’t the money sent to them to manage this??

Mike Parson (r). He’s not concerned.

Isn’t this where MO AGO sues? How is a mask mandate considered “government control” but suing school districts and county health to prohibit masks not “government control”?

There is a test shortage because Republicans refuse to get vaccinated. According to Gallup, 40% of Republicans “don’t plan” to get vaccinated, versus 26% of Independents and just 3% of Democrats. Use your voice to convince Republicans to get vaccinated.

What happened, Roy? Didn’t get a cut you were expecting? Your state fights protection measures in court, & distorts test/case results. Biden is ramping tests up mega-fold. If people would get vaxxed & practice safety measures, we wouldn’t need so many tests. Help w/ solutions

Republicans were in charge the first year. The only plan was the President’s son-in-law telling Governors to “work the phones.”

After Trump said stop testing? Parson says MO has a stock pile of tests. Where the hell are they? Might want to take a look at your party/cult.

Roy, the governor of the state you represent (but don’t live in) just washed his hands of Covid mitigation.

Meanwhile, we are again hitting unprecedented Covid infection rates. The ICUs are near capacity AGAIN.

Why not find out WHY our Governor is AWOL in this fight?

Because you are just a spectator in the government. Apparently

2 years ago?

Who was president then?

Well what does it matter our Governor says get it, deal with it, and what happens happens. Mo. from a GOP leadership perspective has no intention of doing anything to mitigate the virus anymore. Parsons says we’re GOOD, the kings have spoken so the commoners must submit.

Such chutzpah, Roy.

There is no such thing as a “moderate” republican

Today:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
The Biden administration’s vaccine mandate will have a harmful impact on U.S. employers, adding to the labor force and supply chain challenges that are already roiling the economy.
4:32 PM · Dec 7, 2021

What an ass.

Some of the comments:

Actually, not having a vaccine mandate and doing nothing to combat vaccine hesitancy is killing more Trump supporters than Biden supporters.
[….]

That’s “pro-life” for you.

And people dying or having to take off time from work for being sick or taking care of a loved one doesn’t have a negative impact? If your party hadn’t politicized the pandemic and has persuaded people that vaccines are bad, things would be much better.

I’m fine with a vaccine mandate. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, it’s very simple: either submit to a regular test, or stay in your house so you don’t put others in harm’s way.

The vaccine mandate will provide a safer work environment for employees. As someone who is impacted every day, I couldn’t disagree with you more.

How will it be harmful? I want facts! Not propaganda and sound bites!

It’s in his nature.

You know what’s had a harmful impact on US employers? The death of 800,000 Americans from Covid. A free and safe vaccine is available.

You have a harmful impact on your constituents every day. How is making sure we protect one another a bad thing?

People dying of COVID-19 add a strain on the supply chain. Maybe help stop the spread?

Nope….you are wrong

If people would rather lose their jobs that save their own lives and health and the lives and health of others, it’s not the fault of those trying to save lives with a minor requirement.

Stop working for American death and disease.

You have jello for brains

That’s quite generous.

It’ll save lives so of course Roy is against it! Why did trump Republicans want Americans to suffer and die???

In blue states they have been enforcing this rule and have near 100% compliance. Anyway hospitals already require employees to vaccinate for other things. Stop undermining the effort to fight Covid.

You are consistently a terrible person

Look dude, as Americans we work hard and are generous. We don’t need YOUR KIND who steals what they want then changes the law.
People with YOUR KIND of deviousness have been allowed to stay hidden for too long.

Your legacy is tied to trump.
Hope you choke on it.

Own it, Roy.

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

There you go.

Bad timing, again

missouri, Roy Blunt, social media, Thanksgiving, Twitter

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
This year’s Thanksgiving will be the most expensive in the holiday’s history. On top of that, Missourians will be paying more to even get to the Thanksgiving table. [….]
1:19 PM · Nov 22, 2021

Some of the responses:

Nope. U should actually go shopping instead of repeating nonsense. I bought my turkey for 79 cents a pound and saw turkeys for half off. Also, gas prices are coming down and store shelves are filling up thanks to POTUS. Maybe do ur job and legislate not obstruct.

You have forgotten that Thanksgiving 2020 Americans spent hours getting COVID tests, if they could get to a testing site. There wasn’t a vaccine.

In 2021, 60% of Republicans aren’t vaccinated, making the pandemic longer.

I am grateful to spend Thanksgiving with the vaccinated

Did the new .13 per gal tax levied by Parson & the Republican state legislators do anything but add to the financial burden? Forget about that?

The Missouri GOP raised gas prices through a tax increase on gasoline. Missouri deserves better than Republican super majority.

I got a free 15lb turkey from Ibotta, free stuffing, free pie, free vegetables, free cranberry, free gravy. Turkeys in my area are .47 lb. Seems to me you just might be making your way on to the naughty list by lying to your constituents

Where do you shop Neiman Marcus? Ours wasn’t expensive at all.

Just so you know, I bought a frozen turkey for $.49 a pound. Also, ALL shelves are stocked.

Would you please share with us how much you and your family spent on Thanksgiving last year and how much this year?

You think it’s written off as a lobbying expense? Just asking.

The free market is a bitch, ain’t it.

Chevron & Exxon profits doubled. Hmmm [….]

Walmart disagrees.

That mean you will vote for BBB? Helping your constituents live better? Supporting their healthcare, childcare, elder care? Putting a cap on insulin? Or no.

Well?

yes, it cost us 800,000 of our loved ones, friends and neighbors due to misdirection on a deadly virus

Yeah remember last year when there was a raging pandemic, we had a President in complete denial and none of us spent the holidays with our loved ones?

We get it, inflation is the Republican talking point. My talking point is gratitude. I am grateful for Thanksgiving 2021, which will be with vaccinated family and friends. Thanksgiving 2020: Covid was raging, people were dying and Trump was lying. [….]

Imagine if Trump Senators like Blunt had taken COVID seriously and loudly encouraged vaccines and masks.
We could have been back to normal a year ago.

Oh bullshit. Am I paying a slightly higher price for groceries, yes. Is it the most expensive thanksgiving ever? Absolutely not, at least this year I’m not watching family members die from Covid that Republicans prefered to ignore.

You already tweeted this, we already explained how you’re a disingenuous piece of shit, so how about you shut up so we can all enjoy our holiday?

Yea life was so much better when everyone was locked in their homes trying not to catch covid instead of driving their cars driving cost of fuel to historic lows. If only we had an incompetent fucking useless president again so he could botch his response to a global pandemic.

They ain’t buying it, Roy.

On a roll today.

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend spree would leave hardworking Americans with greater debt and higher taxes.
4:10 PM · Oct 26, 2021

Some of the hilarious responses:

We just stopped spending $10M a month in Afghanistan, but GOD FORBID we invest in America or Americans, am I right? [….]

The Build Back America plan invests in US infrastructure- small towns, Education, Broadband, Lowers Drug Costs, Children- all of which 70% of Americans want. Supposedly items you said YOU want. But it’s always going to be Party over Constituents, isn’t it?

Translation: “We don’t mind ballooning the deficit as long as it helps billionaires but not ordinary Americans.”

.Are the taxes on your multiple houses going up? Oh the horrors!

Do you really expect us to believe this???? You know this is false!

No, your billionaire tax break already did that.

Rich guy doesn’t want his $1,500,000,000 unpaid for @gop tax cut taken away..

So, sorta like the tax cuts, right Senator??

Republicans cut taxes for the top 1% and added 7 trillion to the debt, Roy. That’s what you’re leaving hardworking Americans.

If you are concerned about greater debt, why did you vote for the Trump tax cuts that went overwhelmingly to the 1%.

Of course, the child tax credit doesn’t help working Americans — those in the 1%

You are what you are, sir.

They will leave the average American worker with lower taxes, and definitely LESS federal debt. All proposed programs are PAID FOR up front, not ten years after the fact.

Lying again?

Well, not completely. Americans who have incomes north of $400K/year would see a tax hike. Fewer loopholes too.

But otherwise … lies.

As opposed to the greater debt and higher taxes you have created in your decades of poor service? I just feel the energy bleed out of your poor staff as they cut and paste these from some donors email. Sorry kids. Get a better job.

See this is y’all’s trend today. Lie about spending.

Do your damn homework, Ray Ray and stop being untruthful.[….]

The Trump-Republican give-away tax cut for the rich was a cynical show of disregard for average Americans. That’s where the greater debt and need for higher taxes on the wealthy comes from: Republican bowing before their rich donors.

Billionaires aren’t hardworking Americans.

It’s time they pay their fair share.

Big Lie supporter has thoughts on economics.

If I had a million dollars for every time you posted this lie, I’d be very wealthy and I still wouldn’t have as much as you voted to give billionaires.

Not doing it will leave hardworking Americans with the consequences of catastrophic climate change.

You didn’t care about the costs when it came to shoveling money into your rich friends’ wallets. The Dems are actually trying to improve America.

How about you being a good guy?

Hasn’t ever happened, never will.

So, why have all thr recent Democratic presidents had to restore the economy after all thr Republican Presidents left it in shambles?

So easy to remember that it even fits on a bumper sticker.

Oh, the GOP talking points are bad.

Hey Roy, go tell your hardworking constituents you don’t want to help make their lives a little easier after YOU voted for TRILLIONS in tax cuts for billionaires & corporations who PAY ZERO TAXES.

Republicans LIE

You don’t give a damn about “hardworking Americans.”

Republicans reckless trickle-down theory has left hard-working Americans poorer than they were 30 years ago. You and your buddies have killed the middle-class.

“…You are what you are, sir.”

Today:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
“Thanksgiving 2021 is shaping up to be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday.”
[….]
12:42 PM · Oct 26, 2021

Bah, humbug.

Some of the responses:

Last year we had no Thanksgiving celebration thanks to pandemic. 3 of us in my family made food and delivered to high risk friends. This year we will have over 20 for dinner. So thankful. Also, the company I work for having a record breaking sales year despite cost increases.

I sincerely doubt it. But then, I plan ahead like any frugal person banking against fluctuations in pricing. I buy on sale and freeze it. Have turkey and cranberries in the freezer.

That’s ok. Last Thanksgiving I was praying my immunosuppressed brother would survive.

And you have had a major starring role in causing this.

Good thing you gave those tax breaks to billionaires a few years ago though. Now they can afford Thanksgiving!

Yep, Roy, things are more expensive. Tell us what your role in that was and what you’re doing (or not doing) to remedy that.

Umm, you do realize THANKSgiving is not about food, right?

That is Capitalism 101 at work- supply and demand.

Senator Blunt, share with us the cost of YOUR Thanksgiving dinner last year to this year’s cost?

Explain the hardship this is causing you and your family this year.

What’s your point? I’ve had 2 adult children survive Covid without being hospitalized (pre-Delta & pre-vaccines) and we’re all fully vaccinated now. I have more than enough to be thankful for. We don’t need to eat ourselves into oblivion to be happy.

The reason for the season…

Will your cook have to purchase less food?

Blunt longs for the good ol’ pandemic days

Why do you think that is, Roy? Be truthful now. I know that’s a hard ask.

Why don’t you find something to be thankful for?

You’re not gonna starve, Roy.

It seems you prefer last year when the economy was in free fall? Or how about 2008 during the Great Republican Recession brought to you by Bush the Neverending War Mongerer? This year we have half the child poverty we had a year ago!Vaccines are here!War is over! I’m celebrating.

Congratulations. You’ve discovered inflation – even normal inflation.

Prices rise every year. This isn’t new.

What’s new is your pathetic partisan trolling.

Please consider retiring with dignity instead of this nonsense.

That ship sailed long ago.

Frankly, Roy, I’m just grateful to be alive. Y’all have done your best to kill us off. I don’t need or want a fancy meal. Take your fear mongering and shove it.

Actually, your Thanksgiving will be super-cheap, Roy, if you take my advice and eat shit.

Alrighty then.

Dinner’s on Roy.

Roy Blunt (r) obviously believes we’re all stupid.

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
The Democrats’ $3.5 trillion tax-and-spend spree is 67% higher than the $2.1 trillion spent by all 50 states combined in 2019. Let that sink in.
[….]
4:17 PM · Sep 28, 2021

Math is hard? Disingenuous asshole.

The Democrats’ Build Back Better legislation covers ten years.

As usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:

The Senior Senator of Missouri is against rebuilding our infrastructure over the next ten years.

Let that sink in!

The $3.5 trillion dollar BBB plan is over 10 years versus 1 year for the 2019 spending package, and you know that, but the lie is the point.

Lies are all they have…

Wow. What a liar. Do you think you should mention that one is over 10 years and the other is over 1? Do you not know that? Or do you hold your supporters in such contempt that you think they are too stupid to see through your deception?

Yes.

… you compared ten years of proposed federal outlays to one year of state outlays?

Maybe you should’ve let that sink in a little bit more before you said it.

This is what happens when reporters never, ever mention the 10-year part

Trump. $7.8 trillion. Refusing to raise the debt ceiling is just Republicans and Trump defaulting on financial obligations. Par for the course.

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

In 2017, Republicans ran through a $1.9 trillion giveaway the corporations at the expense of American families.

Let that sink in.

What it comes to actually doing something for the American people Republicans would rather preen themselves on camera then actually work.

Hey Senator, how’s this ratio working out for your lie?

WE SEE YOUR SCAM @RoyBlunt. We don’t pay you $175,000/year just to have you protect your wealthy buddies and lie to us.

This is like me saying I’m gonna have to make $150,000 in mortgage payments over the next 10 years and freaking out because it’s 67% higher than my annual income.

1. Our infrastructure is failing. Let that sink in.
2. The climate crisis is upon us. Let that sink in.
If we don’t address #2., #1. will continue to erode & all we will do is spend money to bolster & repair. Time to act is now. Corporations need to pay their fair share. Tax them

It’s not being put on the credit card like the $2 Trillion tax cuts for billionaires that you voted for.

Yes, a ten year federal capital investment plan is higher than one year’s expenditure by state governments (who largely depend on federal expenditures…maybe a double count involved here?). And….?

“tax-and-spend”

you keep using these words, i do not think they mean what you think they mean

You had no problem giving huge windfall taxbreaks to the 1% two years ago!! Give the middle class a break for once. Avg income in MO is $55,000. Time to work for your constituents. Support the Infrastructure bill!!

Over ten years. There’s got to be somebody in your office who could explain this to you or, less charitably, somebody in your church who could remind you about the eighth commandment.

There needs to be and SAT test for elected representatives, or even to just get on the ballot. Sen Blunt is clearly not understanding.

Oh, Roy Blunt understands just fine.

“The thing that’s spent over 10 years is higher than one year of spending”- @RoyBlunt

No shit, Sherlock.

Wait. You are comparing a ten-year cost to a one-year cost? Do you think nobody will notice? What is your point?

He knows he can get away with it.

You guys spent 8 trillion in four goddam years. This is 3.5 over 10, for shit we actually need.

There’s that.

How is the trump tax cut working out for most Americans? How is it working out for the top 1%? How much debt did it add? $6 trillion. Let that sink in.

Lets do some math. 3.5 Trillion ÷ 10 years = 0.35 Trillion. Which is higher 0.35 Trillion in a year or 2.5 Trillion in a year?
You clearly couldn’t qualify for a job that requires math to make a product somebody would want to buy.

Over ten years. So its 83% lower than the states spent per year.

From 1/2017 to 1/2021 YOU/GOP raised the National debt by 7.8 Trillion dollars.

This amount represents:

162.5 BILLION dollars per MONTH

Or

5.339 BILLION dollars per DAY

How did the YOUR/GOP’s spending spree help US citizens in the lowest 90% income range?

Narrator: “It didn’t.”

Rs don’t want to pay bills on time – let that sink in

OVER. TEN. YEARS.

The $3.5 is over 10 years, genius

You don’t know the difference between ten years and one year. Let that sink in.

Math is hard and none of this true, but sure, Senator.

How is it you got elected when you can’t do math. Simple math. The type taught in grade school. How mant children understand the concept that money spent over 10 years is not the same as money spent over 1 year. But you don’t understand this? You also forgot the income.

Is Roy Blunt (r) smarter than a fifth grader? No.

Apparently they don’t teach math in Missouri.

They do, but far too many sleep through class.

Over 10 years, Sparky.

Lucky for you that the Senate doesn’t require a placement test.

To all Roy’s constituents, yes he thinks you’re too stupid to understand the difference between one year and ten years.

Over 10 years, Senator Genius.

This is totally misleading and false. You know it. Retract this tweet.

Either you’re dishonest—or stupid… it’s $3.5trillion over 10 years or $2.1trillion for 1 year

“Tell me you don’t know basic Math without telling me you don’t know basic Math.”

Math is really, really hard for some senators. Let that sink in.

Wow yeah how dare they plan to spend more over 10 years than was spent in 1 year…

Moron.

thank you for answering the question, “how stupid do you have to be?”

And on and on…

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

What an asshole.

This afternoon:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Americans deserve more details on how the administration will use vaccines to combat COVID-19 with clear and concise plans that put science ahead of politics.
[….]
1:12 PM · Sep 24, 2021

Have you ever met Mike Parson (r)? Just asking.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

Arsonists demand to know what the fire department is going to do about all these fires in his neighborhood.[….]

Look at the map of Blue & Red States & compare it to vaccination rates. It is so obvious that Trump States reject the vaccines his administration claims to have developed.

Republicans at the federal and state level are to blame for unvaccinated people. The adults who I know who haven’t gotten vaccinated are all Republicans. I can’t understand how Republicans are ok that their voters are dying because of misinformation. Don’t you care about them?

Step 1: end Fox News
Step 2: end Facebook
Step 3: national mask mandates because states like Missouri put Republican anti science ahead of health
Step 4: national vaccine mandates because states like Missouri can’t let its citizens die fast enough to end this

Says the Senator who failed to vote for the commission to investigate the 1/6 assault on our Capital because he had enough details.

You should be pressing Governors if you actually want to accomplish something because the overwhelming majority of vaccine issues are at the state level.

Putting science ahead of politics sounds nice. Maybe you should try it once in a while, Roy.

Don’t hold your breath.

My God. How much more info do people need? Covid = bad, vaccine = good.

Oh, whatever happened to the party of personal responsibility? Here’s a plan – go to one of the 1,000’s of vaccine sites and get the shot.

Get the shot. Protect yourself and neighbors. How hard is that?

I’m sure you have @GovParsonMO‘s phone number. Maybe give him a ring on this one.

You can’t be serious with this. How about you start in our home state where only half the population is vaccinated. What are YOU doing?

WTAF is wrong with you? Joe Biden got the vaccine out to all Americans in an incredible amount of time for free. Talk to your Republican pals about why we are still dealing with Covid.

You are infuriating! You backed a narcissist who never had a plan. How dare you

Science. 2 shots. That’s all you need to tell your constituents. This isn’t hard. Stop being obtuse.

Impossible. It’s Roy Blunt (r) you’re talking about.

Poor Roy. This Twitter stuff really isn’t working for you. You should have a talk with however on your staff that posts these tweets because I have yet to see one single tweet from your account that make one damn bit of sense. Poor dumb bastard!

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Today:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Republicans warned that Democrats’ enhanced unemployment benefits would make it harder to get people back into the workforce. That’s exactly what has happened.
1:08 PM · Sep 16, 2021

The is much hilarity in the responses:

Except… that’s not true at all: [….]

You don’t get to pat yourself on the back when you hurt people for no good reason. That you wanted hurting people to have a justification isn’t its own justification.
[….]

Tell me lies… tell me sweet little lies…
[….]

That’s not what happened

1 in 500 American’s has died from Covid

Dead people don’t come back to jobs

If they’re not dead they’re quarantining after exposure, or staying home with their kids who are quarantining after definitely being exposed almost daily at school. Does anyone *not* know someone who has missed work because they either tested positive or had to quarantine?

I’m not buying it. An extra $300 a week is not the issue. That’s basically the equivalent of a $7.50 an hour job for 40 hours a week. Not only that, states who have already terminated the benefit have not seen an increased number of people going to work.

You didn’t care when you were dishing out tax breaks to the rich… but now you’re worried about spending???? Please
[….]

Continued Claims for Unemployment Insurance is the lowest it’s been in over 12 months, below 4M with a work force of over 150M yea, that’s what’s causing the labor shortage.
SMH

No state that terminated expanded unemployment benefits has experienced an uptick in unemployment. This is yet another lie.

Employees will come back to work when employers pay them a living wage.

Missouri stopped them months ago. So what’s the cause now?
Right, just pointing fingers without offering solutions.

Roy Blunt (r) continues to be…Roy Blunt (r).

Funny because where in enhanced unemployment benefits have ended (now everywhere but in many states some weeks ago), persons have not been flocking back to fill jib vacancies. Your simplistic partisan logic fails again!

How many people who have benefited & not back at work have you talked with? Any surveys of these scofflaws?

The National Federation of Independent Unemployed People had no comment.

Not to be blunt Roy, but does your party ever tell the truth? About anything?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

That’s a lie. Missouri stopped the covid unemployment benefits early. Still I see hundreds of help wanted signs. White Castle has a sign paying $15/hour. Just retire please.

Sorry Roy, wrong again on all counts. The minimum wage isn’t enough to put yourself in contact with the idiots who refuse to vaccinate, it’s that simple

And on and on.

Yesterday evening:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Because of vaccines, we have a pathway out of this pandemic. COVID vaccines are safe, effective, and accessible. Please consider getting vaccinated.
[….]
5:56 PM · Aug 2, 2021

The marks aren’t there yet. Probably won’t ever be.

Learn the truth! The vaccine is not safe!! Look at the CDC website!!

Stop Gaslighting the public. According to VAERS over 11,000 have died from the vaccine and an equal amount have permanent disabilities from the JAB. Vaccinated people are being infected with COVID at the same rate as the unvaccinated. And you are calling it “safe & effective?”

Vaccines are killing more people than Covid now. The CDC buries the info on its website.

Liar

they do not work

Stop spreading lies! The vaccine is not safe! The test fir the vaccine has been recalled due to all false positive results. The vaccine has failed its peer test!! There is nothing safe about it!

You can’t possibly know if this is safe. It hasn’t been around long enough to know what long term effects are. List of things we were originally told were safe: cigarettes, baby powder, J&J suntan lotion, DDT, asbestos, Avandia, Zantak, the list is endless.

Well, either marks or trolls.
