From the 2022 Texas GOP State Convention:

Report of the Permanent 2022 Platform & Resolutions Committee [pdf]

[….]
1581 1. 2020 Election: We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that
1582 various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in
1583 multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020.We believe that
1584 substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in
1585 favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
1586 We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph
1587 Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States. [….]

[line number emphasis added]

“…We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States….”

Curiously, there’s no mention of the multitude of those other race results certified on the very same ballots.

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

“No Labels” was saying what?

Always clueless, always bad timing, always blocking any solutions

Read the room, assholes.

GOP @GOP
This is the 15th day in a row gas prices have reached new record highs!
2:01 PM · May 24, 2022

Some of the responses:

More important things on my mind. Things you do nothing about.
[….]

Children at an elementary school in Uvalde TX are being made target practice and you’re talking about fing gas prices!!

And 15 people died today. 14 of them children and one teacher.
[….]

Another school shooting today; what is the GOP doing to address gun violence?

Thoughts and prayers as usual.

And how many mass shootings have we had???

It’s been 3,448 days since Sandy Hook and we have yet to pass meaningful legislation to stop mass shootings.

Now there was another elementary school shooting today in Texas.

The GOP is only concerned with protecting the guns.

14 children and 1 teacher woke up, the start of a normal day. 14 children and 1 teacher aren’t coming home.

15 people died at an elementary school in Texas today. Care to comment?

There has been 27 school shooting this year. 27 in under 6 months. Any statement on that? Any ideas or solutions or just thought and prayers?

Anything else of note happen today?

This is the nth time we have had a mass shooting in this country. That is actually something we can do something about. But you don’t care. Go get lost.

Let’s see, how many days with a mass shooting?

14 ELEMENTARY KIDS DEAD 1 TEACHER
[….]

Speaking of 15 .. did you hear about the 15 people killed at the elementary school today?

14 elementary kids are dead. I think that is more important.

14 children were slaughtered today you sick empty souled bastards.

14 children and a teacher are dead from a school shooter in an elementary school in Texas. Texas were one needs no@permit, no registration and no background checks. Last week of school. Parents that were planning summer holidays now have to plan funerals. When will you do somethi

And more children killed in a school. Gas is the least of my concerns. [….]

I was certain this was going to be about another mass shooting but no

Gas prices I can deal with.

Having my kid gunned down in school, not so much.

Nice deflection though.

Speaking of 15, its been confirmed that 14 students and 1 teacher were killed in a mass shooting today at an elementary school.

How many days in a row for school shootings?

134 children are ready dead this year in the US from gun violence.

You were saying?

I’ll gladly pay $20/gallon if it’ll stop gun violence.

Another school shooting, but let’s talk about gasoline prices. What does GOP want to say about guns?

15 Americans gunned down today in Texas due to @GOP .

FOURTEEN CHILDREN were murdered today you asswipes.

GFYS
[….]

To the human behind the account: 14 children lost their lives, have you no shame?

No. This has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.

Did you hear the news coming out of Texas?

I am now convinced that you are evil. And evil must be purged.

Psychopaths
[….]

How many mass shootings in the last 15 days?

This is the third day this week with a mass shooting. Let’s focus on what’s most important

14 children and a teacher were killed in Texas.

I’m sure the timing on this tweet is TOTALY coincidental and not a smokescreen AT ALL [….]

Today:

GOP @GOP
Joe Biden left for Wilmington, Delaware for another undeserved weekend off.
2:07 PM · Dec 11, 2021

In response:

A few other responses:

Your guy literally set a record for golfing so much

Cool. Now tell us about January 6th. [….]

Tell us about the PowerPoint presentation.

It must be nice to have literally negative shame.

Congrats, @gop. This has to be some kind of world record for leaving yourself wide open. [….]

Ratio.

Maybe he will golf at one of his properties oh wait

Is he going golfing?

This is just a parody account at this point

That actually made us check.

You guys seems less interested in proclaiming the greatness of the economy based on stock market record highs and low unemployment numbers this year. Why is that?

There’s that.

The absolute lack of awareness in this tweet doesn’t even shock me [….]

No worries, he got his sharpie out and circled all the places the tornadoes didn’t hit.

We see what you did there.

Somebody for the love of God tell me this is The Onion.

It isn’t.

Is he golfing at a resort he owns? And charging the Secret Service?

Did he wear a tan suit?

Elephant in the room.

The lack of self awareness is comical

More than one person thought this was a good idea

Some of the comments:

Ah, another #CovidParty, I see….
Note: if you’re running for office and your supporters die off before they can vote for you, it’s harder to win.
Also, leaders LEAD (and listen to the subject matter experts).
PLEASE follow public health guidelines.

Hello? Face masks? Social distancing guidelines ?

Darwin approved.

Nice to see that you’re concerned for the health and well-being of your constituents by social distancing. Oh wait!

Where’s your damn masks?

That’s Congresswoman Disease Vector to you, pardner.

There’s more:

Mike Parson @mikeparson
There is nothing like being in a room full of cattlemen and women.

These folks know what it means to work hard each and every day to put food on our tables.

It’s an honor to be endorsed by @MoCattle.

Some of the comments:

Wow! What a leader! No masks in an enclosed space and no social distancing.

I hope we don’t read that this event results in a large number of covid-19 cases.

My concern is not for you and your supporters but the healthcare workers who will care for you.

Where are the masks??

Useless Parson wear a mask when appropriate? You gotta be kidding me. Let’s spread the Covid, folksFace with symbols over mouth

You forgot “during a global pandemic” at the end of your first sentence.

Shame that you would lure these farm families and our older generation into indoor facilities and not mandate masks during this time.

Seriously.

Sweet 8 pound 7 ounce baby Jesus, I hope this photo was not taken during a global health pandemic.

It was.

That’s a lot white hair sitting closely without masks.

I am pretty sure this is exactly what the CDC says not to do.

#coronavirus #mogov

Jesus Christ!!!!! No social distancing or masks!!!!! C’mon!!!!! What is wrong with you? This is really wrong!!!

Cases in our state are going up, and you choose to spend time in a room with no social distancing or masks. This is tone deaf and irresponsible.

Again, no mask? Given that this crowd looks to be older in age, I’m guessing there are more than just a couple of people who are high risk in this crowd. But, whatever gets you that MAGA vote, right?!

with no masks, no social distancing. a pure death party.

Nothing like a Covid Party, huh. Sure, that’s real smart there

Can we just agree we need a governor with common sense?!

With no masks. In a pandemic. In a state that’s setting records day after day in positive tests.

Peak irresponsibility. We need leadership in MO stat!

Guess we will be seeing a rise in Covid cases in Sedalia now….just in time for your state fair that you insist on having.

And none of them, including yourself, Gov. @MikeParson, cares enough about the others to wear a mask and keep a safe distance in the midst of a rising deadly pandemic in your state. Some honor.

Someone hasn’t been smart and responsible over the weekend! [….]

Too bad a few of them might find out what it’s like to be on a ventilator.

You are complicit.

Next time try and get a panoramic picture for the contact tracers. These are decent, but I expect more out of a leader.

And on and on.
