This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
We don’t need government shutdowns again.

We need our kids in school, our businesses open, and Americans back to work.
[….]
8:43 AM · Nov 29, 2021

A few of the responses:

The Association of Funeral Homes and Crematoriums approves this message.

So there are no shutdowns planned, and instead of being proactive in the very unlikely scenario that they do happen, you are gaslighting with no plan of action. That’s sounds about right. Just like last time.

If we can get everyone vaccinated, we can devote more resources to other areas. My MIL is in Vandy Medical & has to wait for her biopsy because the hospital is slammed w/ unvaccinated Covid patients. GOP, Fox, Q, Trumpers… all of you are to be blamed.

And now, the truth.

1) No shut downs are being planned
2) Thanksgiving day spending set a record at 5.1 billion
3) Inflation is a global consequence of the pandemic, not a political economic package that hasn’t even gone into action yet.

Y’know what helps with that? Masks and vaccines.

It really will be okay if we all do our part to help.

God forbid this group of GOP hustlers ever does anything proactive.

No one is shutting anything down. Maybe if Republican voters would wear masks and get vaccinated our situation would improve.[….]

But Republicans excel at government shutdowns. Y’all didn’t pass a budget from 2011-2015.

Then you should encourage your Deplorables to do the right things. Mask up, get vaccinated, etc. And then support civil penalties for not doing these *simple* things. Levy fines and/or ban people from public places.

Just saying “we don’t need this” doesn’t HELP.

yes, let’s ignore the virus, that’s been working really well so far

Then maybe the cult should get vaccinated and wear masks instead of being outraged at literally everything

The Omicron variant & the pandemic would like to have a word in this.

Which is exactly the reason we NEED those vaccine mandates. That would ensure that MOST of the kids and workers would be safe at school or work.

What if we learn the omicron variant is more deadly than the delta variant?

As a proud pro-life person, you must know doing nothing will lead to more death and suffering.

Are you really “pro-life”?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result

Everyone wants the virus to go away. You can’t think of anything to do but blame others. Thanks for nothing.

Any member of Congress who talks about getting kids back to school, businesses open and Americans back to work and doesn’t encourage vaccinations is a fraud. But we already knew that about you.

Yesterday in southwestern Missouri:

Steve Edwards @SDECoxHealth
Hospitals have required employee vaccination for decades. A patient should expect not to be exposed to a deadly disease while in the hospital.

At our final deadline, 64 out of 12,500 employees, 0.51%, chose not to comply with our policy and were discharged.

We are safer now.
9:52 AM · Nov 23, 2021

Just a few of the comments:

Retired nurse here. Employers during my entire career required annual TB test, Hepatitis B titers & if it was low, boosters, childhood immunizations. Was tested for HIV, had mandatory physicals, etc. Would never want to be endanger my patients.

As a nurse I’ve taken multiple required vaccines or had blood titers drawn to prove immunity as a condition for employment. I’ve always known that goes with the territory, protects me, my patients, and my coworkers. And decreases sick time. Why the protests now?

Thank you for doing the right thing by your employees and your patients. Mandatory vaccination is not a new concept in healthcare. I have had vaccinations, titers, repeat vaccinations, more titers, and I never took it personally. Or politically. It’s a job requirement. Period.

Get vaccinated. If it’s time, get boosted.

And while you’re at it, wear a damn mask.

This morning:

Jason Smith @JasonSmithMO
Like meat? Too bad, cause this bill taxes cow farts, costing farmers and ranchers over $6,500 per cow. This is the DC Democrats’ message to rural America.

Know how we know that? 5 minutes of research. 5 minutes. Politicians like @RepJasonSmith tell lies like this because they are willing to bet that folks won’t do that 5 minutes of research. But we will. Here are a few links on this issue.

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.

Oops.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Two short months ago:

Sean Parnell @SeanParnellUSA
Its an honor to have the endorsement of @HawleyMO!
I look forward to working with him in the US Senate to stop the radical Biden Agenda in its tracks.

Now let’s go Win Pennsylvania & Save America!
[….]
12:09 PM · Sep 30, 2021

[….]
Ohio Township, PA – Sean Parnell today announced the endorsement of U.S. Senator Josh Hawley. Hawley is a constitutional conservative who is widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading constitutional lawyers who has litigated before the U.S, Supreme Court.

‘Sean Parnell has dedicated his life to the service of our nation,’ said Senator Josh Hawley. ‘Sean is a hero, patriot, and the kind of conservative fighter we desperately need in Washington. I am honored to endorse him in his race for U.S. Senate, and I am certain Sean Parnell will represent Pennsylvania well and be a conservative voice that puts America first.’

‘I am honored to have the support of Senator Josh Hawley,’ said Sean Parnell. ‘I look forward to working with Senator Hawley to push back against the extreme agenda of Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer for a smaller, more conservative federal government.’

What state is Josh Hawley supposed to be from?

Missouri Sunshine Law

More money than sense. Or is it just cynical posturing?

Yes.

Show-Me Institute @ShowMe
The taxpaying public should have an unambiguous right to see what’s being taught to their kids, how schools are performing, and how money is being spent.

7:37 AM · Nov 22, 2021

A few of the responses:

The premise of this “Bill of Rights” is built on the sense of loss of control. Your justification? “I’ve heard stories from concerned parents …” And for those “stories” you propose sweeping changes to a system that already has parental control.

I question your true motive.

How about you be open about your agenda in demanding accessed to things you already have access to? Not hearing anything from you about what motivates your orchestrated effort to undermine faith in public education.

This is 100% just another way to sow division and distrust in public schools so your wealthy donors can get another tax break for their kids’ private school. Of course those private schools cost 2-3x public schools and there’s no facts or data showing they have better outcomes.

Maybe Eric Schmitt (r) would know? Nah, that assumes a fact not in evidence.

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Who is being hit the worst by inflation in Biden’s America?

Hardworking middle Americans.
[….]
8:52 AM · Nov 18, 2021

That’s a loud dog whistle you got there.

“Middle Americans” don’t live in Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin, or California?

Some of the responses:

How did the Child Tax Credit hurt hard working Americans?

Is expanding broadband in rural America hurting rural Missourians?

In the meantime, what is your solution?

For those that do not have access to the complete WSJ article that the graphic above comes from, they reference COVID recovery, supply chain issues, and shortages as the cause for the inflation. Again, the President’s name is not mentioned there once.

Your estimated maximum net worth is $15-million (2018). You took PPP funds to “keep the farm employees paid”. When you were critiqued about it, your only response was “it’s not illegal”. While that is a true answer, it proves you don’t deserve the professional position you have.

How nice of you to highlight that the states under GOP Rule are struggling in every way possible.
By the way could you list for us (anything) you have accomplished during the decades you have been a government employee?? I didn’t think so. #HartzlerIsWrong4MO

Maybe if they didn’t just tell “hardworking middle Americans” they needed to sacrifice their health and livelihoods during the pandemic and keep the spread going, this wouldn’t be happening. But you know, blame is your game. Not solutions. [….]

Not sure that someone who’s paid $174k a year to mean tweet is an expert on hardworking Americans.

I mean, I see states that have predominantly GOP legislatures that have resisted any federal intervention in this economy are being hit the hardest. There may be an exception or two but not many. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

What exactly have you done to help? It’s a rhetorical question because you haven’t done squat

Who is being hit the worst from the GOPs 2017 tax giveaway to the top 1% ? Hardworking middle class Americans like most of your constituents. As well as the debt the GOP rolled up that they are now concerned with.

And, despite what you may think, tweeting about it will not solve it.

It’s all she can do. She cannot do anything outside of a photo op without permission.

Gas prices are down, jobs are up, market is up, port congestion is easing, and someone needs to educate Vicky on that fact that inflation is being impacted on a global level. Hartzler should just stick to her little meetings with Gosar, Greene, Gaetz, and the other traitors

What do you mean by Biden’s America. Are you not an AMERICAN. Or are you a QTrumplican.

Hasn’t your solution in the past to those hardworking Americans was to pull themselves up by their own boot straps? While you took hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars.

There’s that.

Funny, lots of other countries are having the same shortages and record increases.
That tells me, you’re an ignorant, uninformed, myopic jerk,
and you’re prone to tell lies.

There’s that.
