Except for sitting on a bench and shitposting on social media.

You were expecting anything different?

Thursday evening:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
President Biden’s first *ever* trip to the southern border should begin with a visit to McAllen, TX, to see the millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded border wall steel his Administration has left sitting in a yard.
[….]
5:19 PM · Jan 5, 2023

What will Jason Smith (r) be doing today? Sitting on a bench and possibly shitposting on social media.

Some of the responses:

Trump boondoggle Jason. In my lifetime no R or D Congress has been serious about immigration. Each side wants the other side to lose. Therin is the border problem.

Trump said he finished the wall

What? Mexico didn’t pay for it?

I would hush if I were you. This debacle of trying to nominate a speaker of the house! January 6th, hmm. Most know where you were. Now this. Very ashamed!

You mean your king didn’t do what he promised and now you expect President Biden to clean up another of his messes?

We should give all that steel to Mexico. I mean, they paid for it, right?

Moving the goalpost already?

Distraction, really. The past few days haven’t been so good.

Aah. And here we have the forgetful Republican. Conveniently ignoring that the Trump administration “redirected” millions from the government for all the steel that is cheerfully rusting away.

No, Biden didn’t do it. But he did have to clean up after a Republican “president”

So when do you Republicans expect to elect a speaker? Seems like a pretty easy thing to do.

Shouldn’t you be focused on electing a speaker?
Just ‘sayin

Vote against McCarthy. #trump2023

Too late. Eleven times.

Scrap it. It’s a dumb ass idea anyway. Any a hole could defeat a wall. Another fun fact you have to build gaps at the bottom of the wall in many sections because water would knock it down. Brilliant.

I thought we were told Mexico was paying for the wall? Was that just another lie?

I am one of your constituents.
I want change. I thought you did too.
I will NOT be voting for you ever again.

After emailing, calling and posting on Twitter just today, my message is still the same.

DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCARTHY!!!!

Too late. Eleven times, so far. Heh.

The wall was always a stupid, useless idea. Why waste any more money on it.

Vote for an America 1st Speaker & honor the wishes of those who hired you to represent us.

WE DO NOT WANT MCCARTHY AS SPEAKER.

They’re restless.

Mark Alford (r), former newsreader, still not sworn in.

This morning:

Mark Alford @markalfordkc
About damn time.

Saying a prayer that he doesn’t end up in Canada at the wrong border.
[….]
8:13 AM · Jan 5, 2023

Heh. Joe Biden (D) is doing things, you’re not.

The Canadian border is longer, genius.

Pray all you want, putz, the republican clown show of the past three days is a harbinger for the next two years.

Some of the responses:

Mmm. Is that what a Republican should be saying right now? I feel the GOP is about to lose at their own game down on the border, if dems choose to take it seriously.

Anyway, you guys have your own problems. Who ya gonna vote for, assuming McCarthy will never have the votes?

They’ll let him know what he needs to do when it’s time.

Don’t support McCarthy

Too late. Eight times.

I have serious doubts that you said a prayer for this, Mark. Jesus is watching you

I wonder what will happen with the border situation from him looking at it. Maybe it’ll fix the situation since that’s all Republicans talk about. Or maybe like we could just fix the issue instead of making wedge issues every election cycle.

Where have you been for the last 20 years? Just asking.

Yes! Thank you for watching out for Missourians! It’s not like 35% of our hospitals are in danger of closing! Or that 1/4th of our schools are on a 4-day week because our incredible lack of pay is causing staffing issues everywhere! Or, or, or… [….]

Why have you been voting for @GOPLeader to be speaker?

Seriously?

Please don’t vote for McCarthy

Well you’re in the right party because all Republicans ever do I’d thoughts and prayers, no policy, no action just total chaos. BTW have you been sworn in yet or are the clowns still running the circus.

Clowns and circus still.

Quit supporting Kevin. He’s a Rhino. Be a leader and join the 20.

Heh.

That’s not very nice. Don’t let the swamp turn you into one of them. Be kind to all.

Too late.

You’re just more of the same huh???

Mark, why are you continuing to support McCarthy for speaker? The people of Missouri don’t support him we sent you there for change, not the status quo.

Not hardly. Interestingly, every single republican member of the Missouri House delegation has voted for Kevin McCarthy (r) over eight ballots. You voted for one of them. Maroon.

Curious, are you or Hartzler voting for the speaker?

OMG.

Ignoranimus.

Do not vote for McCarthy! We sent you to drain the swamp!!!!

Too late. Eight times.

I sure wish MY representative in the US House would represent me and many others of the MO-4 and stop voting for Kevin McCarthy for speaker like the other brave 21 representatives in the Republican caucus.

Little mark used the damn word. What a leader. You pathetic embarrassment

“The 20” Republican Jan 6th Extremists is a disgusting group of American Traitors whose mission is solely to disrupt and destroy government and democracy.
If McCarthy caves to their demands, he is just as responsible for anything bad that happens next.
Americans be worried!

Another morning of republican “leadership.”

No Speaker, no oath of office, no security clearances, no functioning House of Representatives.

Six times so far.

Previously:

Wedgies (December 31, 2022)

Kevin McCarthy (r) tries to count votes this morning (January 3, 2023)

Ravenous (January 3, 2023)

Not quite yet (January 3, 2023)

That was then (January 4, 2023)

Everyone is still waiting.

Jason Smith (r) [2022 file photo].

Yesterday morning:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
House Republicans will chart a path for a stronger economy, greater financial security for American families, and a Congress that is responsible and accountable to American taxpayers.
7:52 AM · Jan 3, 2023

High hopes.

Some of the responses:

This is a joke, right? [….]

Lol. Zero chance they do any of that at all.

House Republicans will take a sledgehammer to American families. The best thing we can say about you is that you’re dysfunctional criminals.

Is it Infrastructure Week again already?

My dude, you’re being overrun by grifters, frauds, and cons. Your responsibility and accountability needs to start by cleaning your own House.

You’re funny
[….]

Responsible and accountable. You are joking .

House republicans literally voted against all of this and more in the past year

Jason, you took a loan and then stood by while it was forgiven, essentially taking $50,742 from hardworking Americans. Is this what you mean by responsible and accountable?
[….]

Is this a parody account?

Yea. All folks need to do is look at District 8 and see how well Republican economic plans work. Sit down.

There is that.

If only this were true. #MOdeservesbetter than empty words.

Bullshit alert [….]

The GOP can’t even decide who is going to be speaker. What makes you think you can fix anything?

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

Sure, Jan.

But to travel that path, you need the cooperation of the White House and Senate. Are you prepared to work with Democrats?

Must be new around these here parts.

That’s funny.

Responsible and accountable? You are an embarrassment.
[….]

Do you ever listen to what they are telling you to type?
[….]

Y’all can’t even chart a path to electing a #Speaker when you gain the majority. [….]

The @GOP is a #FailedParty.

No you won’t

Liar

Why aren’t you voting against Kevin McCarthy?! We need to get rid of the RINOs and you’re not helping.

Then don’t vote for @GOPLeader for speaker

Seriously? They can’t even come together to elect a Speaker. Pathetic.

Who are you voting for Speaker?

So far, six times for Kevin McCarthy (r). Heh.

That’s not what your pal McCarthy said. He only wants to do things to get back at Dems for showing up Repubs this past year.

Lots of talk but no well thought out plan that can be found. The supposed Commitment to America is at best, a rough middle school outline. Please provide a link here so we Missourians understand your goals this session.

You think?

Are you going into comedy now?

Chart a path to electing a speaker first. You’re not even sworn in yet. Representative-Elect

Heh. There’s that.

Jim Gordon for speaker

Heh.

House Republicans can’t even “chart a path” to elect a Speaker, how do you expect American taxpayers to believe you’ll accomplish anything?

You haven’t been able to do that in your district in Missouri. Your district has struggling, underfunded schools, poverty, drugs, and limited healthcare. But you can do better on a federal level?

Bullshit!

You had 4 fucking years with a Republican president and congress and didn’t do any of that. So why do you expect the American people to believe you this time?

What a crock! This guy has one of the most anti-worker voting records in congress.

Liar. Fucking Liar.

That sounds really nice Jason. Being from Missouri, I’d like you to Show Me. Because I haven’t seen shit from you except tweets.

Are you voting for McCarthy for Speaker?

Seriously? Six times so far. See above.

Do not vote for McCarthy or you will not be voted for in my district ever again!!

Heh.

That’s cute, Jason.
Ya’ll can’t even get your sh*t together to elect a Speaker.

Stop voting for Kevin McCarthy!! He is a rino!!

Heh.

Don’t vote McCarthy! Listen to your constituents and vote a truly American first speaker. No more swamp

That is a joke right?! Republicans are now owned by the far right nuts who could care less about legislating. They want to burn it all down to appease their feral base. The next two years will be a dumpster fire.

For fuc sake …they cant even pick a speaker.
They are fucking hopeless

No friends of right wingnut trumper and former news reader Kari Lake (r):

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN
US House candidate, MN-05
Katie Hobbs wins Arizona governor’s race. Kari Lake can thank the voters she was rude to for her defeat. Classic f@&# around find out beat down.

Yesterday evening:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
I don’t get the Senate GOP line on @HerschelWalker: Please, please win – but we won’t let you vote for leadership. Are you going to treat him like a full member of the Senate or not?
5:49 PM · Nov 13, 2022

Just a few of the responses:

UMMMM he’s not a senator.

There’s that.

He’s not going to win so you don’t have to worry about it.

You could always just give him a leadership badge

We see what you did there.

Go down to Georgia and campaign for him. It’s not at all far from your home-state of Virginia!! And you could even practice your running.

The fact you are asking that on Twitter tells everyone why your party lost.

Someday trump will be gone, but your dishonor will remain.

You’ll never lose that trump stench.

Do you think he can run faster than you?

Awe……is your party in disarray? Couldn’t happen to an nicer bunch of insurrectionists….

I’m glad you guys are starting to come around to pro-choice.

Your party is dead

He did say so.

I would worry about this about as much as your Oval Office dreams.

Not. Lost the first round and will lose the second. Shouldn’t you be off, running away from something again?

You sound nervous, Josh. Are ya nervous?

Please. Stop.

Quick, who’s your daddy: Trump or DeSantis?

Same difference.

Vicky Hartzler (r) [2021 file photo].

This aged well:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Democrats spent the past two years draining your savings and our oil reserves.

Tomorrow, we start draining the swamp.
[….]
2:05 PM · Nov 7, 2022

Some of the responses:

you are the swamp, bye swamp lady

We see what you did there.

I hope you and every Republican loses tomorrow. We don’t need fascists, election deniers, and seditionists in our government.

Well, she lost to Eric Schmitt (r) in the republican U.S. Senate primary, so she won’t be in the new Congress.

Has been says what? Enjoying your PPP grift?

Wait. Start draining it? I thought you were doing that back in 2016?

Don’t tell me Mexico never paid for that wall either!

Mexico never paid for the wall.

“We” Vicky? What position will you have?

Yeah, no, that didn’t work out.

So you’re saying trump did NOT do his job of “draining the swamp” when he and the GOP had their chance. Got it.

There’s that.

Doesn’t this signal the official end of your term? That’s what you meant by draining the swamp, isn’t it? [….]

There’s that.

You ARE the swamp

lol omg I can’t believe you just said “draining the swamp” unironically.

Fuck off, Vick. You won’t be missed when this term is up.

Let me see. You lost the primary. Your replacement is about to be elected. So, that makes you part of the swamp being drained, I guess. You are this clueless, aren’t you? #YouGotFired #SeeYa
