Tell us all your twelce years old, without telling us your age.

Some of the responses:

[….]

So instead of commenting on the bill’s content, indicating areas you believe have issues, and offering critiques of specific texts, we get Spongebob Squarepants typing from you.

How is this supposed to convince us you are Senate material Eric? [….]

So you’re showing what how an adult should not act who’s running for the Senate? Well, good job.

Otherwise, you’re post is that of an eight year old who needs to be scolded. Hopefully @buschvalentine is taking notes of examples of your poor behavior to use in her advertising.

As a “leader”, how are we supposed to take you seriously when you write like that? What is this even supposed to mean?

I guess Eric figures if he becomes a Senator he can buy safety for a couple generations of Schmitts before the mass extinction event.

To be fair, he’s not that forward thinking.

Look around, Eric. Record heat, drought, predictions for continued extreme weather. Yes, we should do something about it, and help the economy along the way.

Look people! @Eric_Schmitt doesn’t know how to use the caps key. He is still in 8th grade

Climate change is completely real Eric. Scientists have been saying it for years. We approaching the point where it will be too late. What will you tell your grandchildren? “Sorry about fucking the planet, I just needed more money.”

Good grief. You are the AG of the state of MO. You are asking us to make you a Senator of the United States. Tweets like this are beneath the dignity of either office and you should be ashamed of yourself. Being a public servant is SERIOUS. Start acting like you understand that.

And mocking the urgency of the very real and now very obvious climate crisis just makes you a horrible human being.

Ahh, the classic Lincoln Douglas debate tactic of silly capitalizations….

So, you’re anti legislation that helps Americans and you’re anti science. Typical look for a Missouri magat politician. Dumb.

So you think historic drought for Missouri Farmers is funny?

Cunt.

This evening:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
If the roles were reversed in this race and it was the Dem with the contrast/storyline there’d be endless artwork, documentaries, etc…
5:23 PM · Aug 14, 2022

A whine connoisseur. Go figure. As if Leni Riefenstahl was available?

There is much hilarity in the responses:

They make documentaries about people who are inspiring. There’s nothing inspiring about an attorney general who repeatedly files frivolous lawsuits against already-cash-strapped school districts.

He even had a title in mind – Triumph des Willens.

Yeah! Why isn’t Hollywood doing the story about a man from humble beginnings, who rose to power, ready to take on the challenge of removing rights from marginalized communities, subverting election results, and protecting wealthy special interest groups… a real hero

I said it before and I will say it again, I have no problem with your upbringing. I am proud of where you came from. Your positions now, your hatred and bigotry are problems for me. Your policies are trash and deserve to be in a circular file.

Awww. Whining isn’t cute.

Schmitty, you have been worthless as AG; there isnevery reason to believe you would be even more worthless in the Senate. Perhaps giving tours is your untimate job advancement.

Careful, your misogyny and stereotypes are showing

But what have you done for the State of MO in your current job? How much money have you wasted on frivolous lawsuits that we are all paying for?

Better photos. Eric Schmitt (r) left “better photos” off his whine list. Trudy Busch Valentine (D) has better photos.

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) in Jackson County, Missouri – August 13, 2022

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) is the Democratic Party nominee for the open U.S. Senate seat in Missouri.

Trudy Busch Valentine (D).

Jackson County Democrats held a canvassing event for legislative district candidates and the party ticket starting at 10:00 a.m. at their headquarters in Lee’s Summit today. A large number of volunteers showed up, first to hear candidates speak, including Trudy Busch Valentine (D), then to embark on door-to-door canvassing.

Before the event started Valentine took time to greet and briefly speak with everyone in the room.

She then spoke to the canvassing volunteers:

Valentine then went door-to-door in a nearby neighborhood:

We had a pleasant, brief, conversation as she walked between houses. Trudy Busch Valentine is down-to-earth, centered, kind, empathetic, and sharp as a tack, without appearing frantic. The contrast with Eric Schmitt (r) is jarring.

She’s going to be just fine.

Former County Sheriff Publicly Denounces “No one is above the law”

Michael L. Parson
57th Governor of Missouri
Governor Parson is a veteran who served six years in the United States Army. He served more than 22 years in law enforcement, including 12 years as the sheriff of Polk County. [….]

Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure
Rule 41. Search and Seizure
[….]
f) Executing and Returning the Warrant.

(1) Warrant to Search for and Seize a Person or Property.

(A) Noting the Time. The officer executing the warrant must enter on it the exact date and time it was executed.

(B) Inventory. An officer present during the execution of the warrant must prepare and verify an inventory of any property seized. The officer must do so in the presence of another officer and the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken. If either one is not present, the officer must prepare and verify the inventory in the presence of at least one other credible person. In a case involving the seizure of electronic storage media or the seizure or copying of electronically stored information, the inventory may be limited to describing the physical storage media that were seized or copied. The officer may retain a copy of the electronically stored information that was seized or copied.

(C) Receipt. The officer executing the warrant must give a copy of the warrant and a receipt for the property taken to the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken or leave a copy of the warrant and receipt at the place where the officer took the property. For a warrant to use remote access to search electronic storage media and seize or copy electronically stored information, the officer must make reasonable efforts to serve a copy of the warrant and receipt on the person whose property was searched or who possessed the information that was seized or copied. Service may be accomplished by any means, including electronic means, reasonably calculated to reach that person.

(D) Return. The officer executing the warrant must promptly return it—together with a copy of the inventory—to the magistrate judge designated on the warrant. The officer may do so by reliable electronic means. The judge must, on request, give a copy of the inventory to the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken and to the applicant for the warrant.

Governor Mike Parson (r) [2018 file photo].

Yesterday:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
I share the concerns of many Missourians and Americans regarding yesterday’s search of President Trump’s home.
1/3
5:09 PM · Aug 9, 2022

You sure it’s not a private club, resort, hotel?

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
The unsupported and hostile targeting of a former President by the FBI and DOJ detaches them from their independent and nonpartisan law enforcement duty.

Political motivation and gamesmanship destroy public trust in our justice system. Now is time for transparency.
2/3
5:09 PM · Aug 9, 2022

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
Never have such actions been taken against a former President, and the White House’s denial of knowledge about such an unprecedented move is either a lie or complete failure of leadership.

The DOJ must immediately answer for these actions.
3/3
5:09 PM · Aug 9, 2022

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Let me get this straight. A former sheriff is not backing the blue? So, when you had evidence of crimes, did you just say “meh, screw it,” and let criminals crime? You *know* the DOJ will be in a heap of hurt if these are trumped up changes.

Wasn’t you a sheriff at some point? So you should know that to get that kind the evidence has to be really compelling. So are you saying that certain people should be above the law?

He was.

Maybe it’s time to revisit the governors past LEO career. If he’s willing to let one man off the hook for taking classified files home after his term, what else did he let slide? Any unsolved murders during his time as sheriff?

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW [….]

Weren’t you in law enforcement? You should be ashamed, break the law, face the consequences.

You want a dictator.

No one should be above the law, even more so the wealthiest and most powerful among us. President Trump ran his entire administration as a part of his lifelong pattern of criminal behavior. You know this; we all know this. Stand up against criminal autocracy
@GovParsonMO

Oh my gawd. I would be much more concerned if the FBI did not perform it’s legal duties. Should any elected American leader be allowed to steal and hide official documents?

The “concerns” are based on lies & an anti-American desire to hold one party above the law.

You should be defending the rule of law, telling those who are “concerned” that they are wrong to attack the rule of law, not supporting the lawlessness.

Your anti-LEO rhetoric is wrong.

It’s ironic.

Please don’t make an embarrassment of yourself in service of Trump again.

Too late.

Why is this statement being made at all? I’m sure no one was clamoring to know what the governor of Missouri thought about the situation. Yes, it is precedented. No, it is not unsupported. The court/judge signing the order knows the evidence. It isn’t for the public to know. Yet.

Yes, it is so worrisome when those to whom we bow are treated the same under the law as everybody else.

If you’re so concerned about a legally executed search warrant, it’s probably time to resign. Please don’t return to law enforcement; you’re obviously unsuited for that.

This is a shameful response. The rule of law applies to everyone in a democracy. If you don’t stand for that, you don’t stand for democracy.
#GOPTraitorsToDemocracy #GOPCorruptionOverCountry #VoteBlue

The complete lack of respect for law enforcement is stunning coming from a former LEO. You could’ve said nothing and not disgraced yourself.

Completely inappropriate response.

You don’t know the facts.

How do you know search warrant was “unsupported?”
“Hostile?” Trump wasn’t even there.
You’re Lying.

He appointed the FBI director, he appointed the federal prosecutor, he appointed the judge. These were his appointees. [….]

Trump will never love you.

No, you don’t. They had a warrant. That’s the legal process supported by the Constitution and legal precedent. Are you anti-Constitution? Are you anti-Law and Order?

Are you against following the law? Anti-Democracy? Anti-Missouri? Anti-American? Don’t bother answering, Parson. We already know.

I’m truly blown away. At what time did you think those statements helps Missouri in anyway. Wow… and you replaced Greitens… pan into the fire.

Was it in Missouri?

No, then why comment?

It’s clearly an ongoing active criminal investigation into someone who has multiple criminal investigations going on.

He’s a citizen, not a king.

He’s subject to the same laws as every other citizen. He’s not a king.

No one is above the law Governor. No one.

Trump has the warrant, he can release it and the list of things they took too.

Yep.

“…The officer executing the warrant must give a copy of the warrant and a receipt for the property taken to the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken…”

Mike,the former Pres can and should post the full warrant and every line of it. He has a copy of every item they were search for as well as each law that may have been broken. The DOJ can’t publish or release it yet but he can as a private guy. He CAN not sure he’d want to

Wait, so you DON’T support law enforcement?

Is somebody nervous?

Oh they shared the warrant with you?

I’m not concerned. I didn’t take boxes of classified material home just to use as props for friends at my house/golf club.

Unsupported? How would you know???

Like when he’ll go public with the warrant. He absolutely can you know. It’ll surely vindicate him, no?

What? It’s an investigation. Tell your boy to show us the warrant! It’s all in there.

Nobody is above the law, governor.

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

Eric Schmitt (r) [2021 file photo].

Last night:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The weaponization of Biden’s DOJ against political enemies is unprecedented

DOJ targeting Trump
DOJ targeting parents
DOJ targeting gun owners
DOJ ignoring illegal intimidation against Justices
DOJ ignoring Hunter Biden
87k new IRS agents coming

This is Banana Republic stuff.
10:14 PM · Aug 8, 2022

Some responses:

You really should know how search warrants work. Oh, wait, your area of expertise is filing losing lawsuits and wasting taxpayer money. I guess your feelings were hurt when I said you weren’t the worst Eric, and you’re trying to prove me wrong.

DOJ executed a search warrant as part of an investigation requested by the National Archives over records moved and destroyed to determine if preservation laws were broken.
The disgraced exPrez needs to know the rules apply to him too.
Rule of Law

If you only knew about laws

Trump & his Senate appointed & approved Wray as head of the FBI in 2017. The warrant & search followed the playbook. No one is above the law. #RuleOfLaw

If there is violence, you & other inciteful Republicans will be responsible. Do you want a civil war & the USA destroyed?

It’s called justice. We understand that you may be unfamiliar with this concept.

Yet you know none of this. A warrant for a former President had a high bar. It’s reasonable to believe they had significantly more cause than you did for all your campaign lawsuits. You should probably let the adults work this out.

You are the freaking Attorney General! You know (or should) how the law works. Sadly, you’re just a political hack trying to get votes.

No dude. Trump appointed Wray and there was apparently enough evidence to get a warrant -you should know this since you’re an attorney although from your record. It appears you got your license to practice law from a cracker jack box. That’s how Rule of Law works.

You mean the guy who was appointed by DJT? Wray. Or do you mean the judge who signed the warrant? Also appointed by DJT and confirmed by GOP Congress people. Or did you mean Ron DeSantis who KNEW about the raid and didn’t to off anyone at Mar-a-lago? Don’t be a #schmitthead

You sound scared.

Good.

A little later:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
When I’m in the Senate I’ll take a wrecking ball to this overtly political DOJ and the Administrative State.
10:28 PM · Aug 8, 2022

Some of the responses:

It is important to know that you will actually act on your belief that some people are above the law.

You lack the required commitment to the law to be Attorney General let alone a US Senator.

You really do not know how the judicial system works do you. Let me help you. A judge approved a search warrant which was requested by trump’s appointee to the FBI.

Amazing how the GOP supports law and order right up to the point that they break the law.

Dude why are you so obsessed with destructive mechanisms? Ya know blow torches, wrecking balls, bats. Normal people don’t go around wanting to destroy everything. Besides we all know you’re just going to sue everyone with frivolous lawsuits to try and get your way.

Who is it that nominated the current director of the FBI? I’ll wait.

Donald Trump (r).

This is a funny way of saying that you intend to protect lawbreakers from your own party. Shouldn’t an Attorney General be faithful to the law?

Wow. Eric wants to go down w the trump ship. Excellent. Good call, dumass.

Says the fascist AG whose saying he’d be a fascist Senator.

I’m sorry. Which Eric are you? I get confused.

Heh.

Corrupt people are above the law…. Got it. Nice!

As MO AG, you took “overtly political administrative state” to an astonishing level

Rule of Law really makes you mad, doesn’t it?

We know you will sweetie. You’re lying to your people. You are well aware that there had to have been overwhelming evidence for a judge to issue a search warrant, but you pander to the float trip crowd that won’t ever look into this. You’re cute.

Oddly enough, you actually know that’s not how the Senate works.

So, you believe there are special people who are above the law? Ha! And you’re Missouri’s Attorney General? Who else is above the law? Everyone you’re politically aligned with? Who specifically is above the law? Just asking questions.

Ok, so you’ll be soft on Republican crime? Good to know. You know the FBI director was appointed by Trump, right?

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