China, clown, Fascist pig, golf, insurrectionist, Josh Hawley, PGA, seditionist, social media, U.S. Senate, Virginia, WTF?

Yesterday, from Josh Hawley (r):

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 11, 2023]
We can’t afford to let Communist China co-opt American institutions.
“It worries me when I see the PGA doing business with the Chinese gov’t…a gov’t that is attempting to use American institutions as a megaphone for their own totalitarian, dystopian & frankly evil policies.”

Some of the responses:

but chain saw saudis are ok… got it..

How about when farmland in the state you claim to reside in is sold to Chinese citizens? You seemed OK with that… but you live in Virginia and really don’t care…

Better start with James Comer since his committee was collaborating with a spy for the Chinese.
You colleague, Tuberville, is also weakening our military readiness.
Repugs are traitors.

China was one of the first that you identified as ‘the enemy”, along with Democrats, immigrants, teachers, the government, LGBTQIA+ people, women who do not want children or who have at-risk pregnancies, others. You sued that country and lost.. Have you investigated schmitt for his part in selling Missouri land to China. Clean up the mess in your own house before you start messing in other’s.

But Josh loves the Saudis.
They funded the attacks on 9/11.
They murdered a Washington Post American journalist.
They bribed Kushner w $2billon for…?
Yeah, the Saudis are great for America/Republicans.

Hey, talk about Jared Kushner and your orange overlord, Haulin A*s Hawley!! They’re totally in bed with the Saudis.

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

WTF Josh. The PGA is now owned by the Saudis who just made a deal to enrich Trump. Get a clue Tiny Fist Man.

Then why aren’t you concerned about the PGA doing business with the Saudis?
You know, the same guys that helped fund the 9-11 attacks against America, and who kill America journalists, and who raise oil prices to hurt western countries like the US, AND who arrest Christians in Saudi Arabia for practicing their faith!
You’re not a serious elected official, you just do things for the camera. SMH

Resign, seditionist, and do so with exceeding haste.

So, Mr. “The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming!” how upset are you at your House colleagues for colluding with a Commie spy?
[….]

But Joshie … Capitalism and free markets … or only when you approve?
Run along Joshie … literally run along.
[….]

29 consecutive months of job growth, inflation steadily declining, durable goods having been up for three consecutive months, 35,000 new infrastructure projects, an extended period in which real wages exceeded inflation and outsize gains for lower wage-earners.
Economic transformation in little towns, rural areas and aging metro centers brought about by new investment in plants, infrastructure projects and green energy related to the Chips Act.
Limiting China’s access to U.S. technology that has military applications and bringing supply chains homeYellen told U.S business leaders: “I have made clear that the United States does not seek a wholesale separation of our economies. We seek to diversify, not to decouple. A decoupling of the world’s two largest economies would be destabilizing for the global economy, and it would be virtually impossible to undertake.”
Biden’s policies have wiped out a quarter of the inequality built in the previous forty. And at the same time that Biden’s resurrection of the liberal consensus of the years from 1933 to 1980 is illustrating that the economic problems in the country were the fault of Republican policies rather than of marginalized people, the extremism of those angry Republican footsoldiers is revealing that they are not the centrist Americans they have claimed to be.
The Republican embrace of Moms for Liberty illustrates dramatically and to a wide audience how radical the party itself has become, threatening to turn away all but its extremist base. A strong majority of Americans oppose book banning: about two thirds of the general population and even 51% of Republicans oppose it, recognizing that it echoes the rise of authoritarians.
-Excerpts from Heather Cox Richardson’s fact checked weekend report.

Resign you pandering hack

Whatever you say traitor.

Jay Ashcroft @JayAshcroftMO
This is a very troubling development. The Communist Chinese government has infiltrated MO and using our land to assault our way of life. I wrote legislation to forbid China from buying ANY land in Missouri, but the Jeff City insiders refused to stand up to China. The China threat is real and as Governor, I will put a stop to their activities in our state.
[….]
1:26 PM · Jun 17, 2023

It’s your party, Jay.

Some of the responses:

Writing legislation isn’t your job as secretary of state. What an embarrassment you are. Unelectable even.

Jeff city insiders? All those republicans. Since this state has been run by republicans for decades. Insiders likes @Eric_Schmitt Who people like you backed and voted for. Will Missouri voters fall for it again?

Yes. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

This is your party, Jay?!
[….]

We said that.

Thanks to Republicans, eh?

The GOP had held the MO legislature for 20 years. This is all on you.

How long has the @MissouriGOP held a super majority to completely controlled Missouri politics?

Who voted to sell Missouri farmland to foreign buyers, Jay? Tell the folks the truth.

Hint: It was the Missouri GOP supermajority in 2013.

You mean the Republucam leaders that allowed the purchase.

“Jeff City insiders?” Correction: Republicans in Jeff City. Democratic Governor Jay Nixon VETOED the bill allowing the sale of farmland to China, and the GOP-dominated legislature overrode his veto.

Like we believe you-it was the GOP that did this on the first place.

Oh jeez @Eric_Schmitt this is gonna be awkward. Who’s gonna tell Jay why?

You had a 20 year supermajority. You are the one you criticize.

Your hypocrisy is astounding.

Gaslighting, really.

“Jeff City insiders” = Republicans, Jay. You’re one of them.

Have a look in the mirror.

@JayAshcroftMO the Jeff city insiders have been republicans for the last 20 years. You as Governor is NOT the answer to Missouri problems.

Wait…aren’t the “insiders” your own party dumbass? Do you think we don’t know you have a super majority of the legislature and administration? Are you too much of a coward to say it’s your own party?

That’s the problem with legacies…

It was the GOP in MO that refused the block foreign buyers in MO farmland. The calls are coming from inside your own house Jay.

These “insiders” you speak of, is it the same GOP members who have controlled the Missouri legislature for decades??

Yes. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

GOP did this in 2013. You are in the wrong party if this is your issue.

It’s hard to take you seriously.

Your hypocrisy is mind boggling

Gaslighting.

Missouri’s retrograde politics coming home to roost.

Our way of life? What is that supposed to mean?

Dude… it’s on you. “Jeff city insiders”????

Republicans have had total political control of Missouri for 20 years. Anything that you think is a problem is the fault of the MO GOP.

Man, and I thought your dad was a buffoon. You far surpass him.

When people get confused about the term “gaslighting” I’m going to refer them to this tweet. Your party is the exact reason MO farmland was sold off to China. In fact the MO GOP overrode a veto to make it happen. It’s amazing lying is expected from GOP politicians nowadays.

You must really believe people are idiots, Jay. Maybe supporters of your own party.

The Republican Party is Missouri literally okayed this. What a bunch of stinking hypocrites you all are.

There’s all that.

No respect

Yesterday:

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
Once again phony political posturing by manhood expert Hawley. From Hulse at NYT “The Hawley amendment is absolutely crushed with just 17 yes votes. Even fellow Republicans were dismissive.” Of course they were. They know what he is.
9:07 PM · Jun 1, 2023

Heh.

Josh Hawley (r) introduced an amendment to the debt ceiling bill. It was deflated and didn’t fly:

Roll Call Vote 118th Congress – 1st Session Vote Summary

Yanking up the welcome mat on Chinese ownership of Missouri land
Feb 15, 2023

[….]

The story of how China got a foothold in Missouri in 2013 says a lot about Republicans’ overwhelming fealty to big business at the time — and about the importance of campaign contribution limits in politics. Missouri had no such limits in 2013 (the voters would impose them three years later), so when Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork producer, needed lawmakers’ help, they were able to generously grease the skids.

Smithfield that year was trying to sell itself to a Chinese conglomerate, which would turn over control of 42,000 acres of Missouri hog-farm operations and other land to the Hong Kong-based company. But Missouri law prohibited foreign ownership of agricultural land here. So lawmakers — most of whom had received thousands or in some cases tens of thousands of dollars from Smithfield — quickly rewrote the law to allow foreign ownership of up to 1% of Missouri’s agricultural land. When then-Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, vetoed the legislation, the legislature overrode him.

[….]

Most of the lawmakers who approved the Smithfield deal are no longer in office, but at least two remain prominent: Current Gov. Mike Parson and U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt, both Republicans, were both state senators at the time. Both had accepted campaign contributions from Smithfield, and both voted to help China gain control over Missouri land.

[….]

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt
Yesterday @RepMarkAlford & I sent a letter to the Treasury & CFIUS decrying their decision to leave @AirWhiteman off their recent ruling that would prevent China from buying nearby land.

Whiteman is crucial to our national defense and should be protected.
[….]
10:28 AM · May 25, 2023

Gaslighter.

Some of the responses:

Hypocrisy at its finest.

You sold Missouri to China

The Missouri Senate blew their chance to pass the bill sent over from the House that would have limited foreign ownership of land. Have you spoken with Missouri legislators about this?

The right wingnut controlled Missouri General Assembly.

You voted to sell Missouri farmland to China in 2013, when you were a Missouri Senator and then voted to override the Democratic governor’s veto.

There’s that.

Total hypocracy from the gop as usual.

Really Eric @SenEricSchmitt What, you’re having a case of Sometimers? You’ve forgotten you pushed Missouri “Right To Farm” so, China could buy Smithfield Foods, 40,000 acres and now own 242,000 acres of Missouri farmland?
#GOPAreLiars

Oh wow Senator. Why did you vote to let foreign companies buy Missouri land? And, why did you overrule Governor Nixons veto?? You think Missourians will forget about that but we won’t.

Right now, any enemy of the US could hang around outside of Whiteman and alert their handlers as to the comings and goings of B2 bombers.

Think about that for just a second:

B-2 bomber.

And any ten-year-old with access to the internets:

You voted to allow the sale of our farmland as a Senator in 2013, AND voted to override the veto!

The why did allow China to purchase the land in the first place? Their was a law to stop that. Republicans got rid of it. Now you cry foul?
[….]

Your chickens home to roost as it were. Selling land to China was fine 10 years ago?

Yeah, you might want to ask Eric Schmitt (r) about that (April 17, 2023)

Mark Alford @markalfordkc

1:24 PM · Apr 23, 2023

You realize that’s worse right

No you don’t.

Based on what?

I’ve got some beautiful beach properties in Arizona I’d love for you to look at, Marc.

The republican playbook to keep their base. Keep ‘em angry, Keep ‘em scared, Keep ‘em misinformed

It continues:

You worked for Fox, so I understand lying is easy for you, but JFHC get a grip dude

“Mom! Grandpa is drunk and yelling at the TV again!”

They’re putting some weird stuff on your teleprompter, Congressman Burgundy!

You do know that in your position, you are actually supposed to do something other than social media “zingers” made up of lies and salacious disinformation.

He doesn’t know. He doesn’t care.

Now if only you had evidence that wouldn’t get laughed out of court.

You were a horrible news anchor. Now you are a horrible politician.

Newsreader.

Yeah….nope
[….]

Oh fer chrissakes. [….]

Truth no longer matters lies are thick.

Your fan-fic is really strange.

Amazing how you can just make things up and still be in Congress — but that’s par for @GOP these days.

Yet the Missouri GOP allows China to buy Missouri farmland…

Damn you’re a clown. 🤡

Wait til you hear about the guy you support for president

There’s that.

What the hell is wrong with you.

Biden is constantly praising Xi. Biden has bank accounts in China, too. And the Chinese have given his family a bunch of patents for weird stuff like voting machines.

Oh, wait, that’s Trump.

Mark Alford is in bed with Marjorie Taylor Greene and the conspiracy theorists, election-denying insurrectionists. The covers are being pulled back. The naked truth is being revealed. And it’s NOT a pretty picture!!!

Holy frak. You really at totally inept imbecile. Keep spouting your ignorant propaganda while you can before the voters get you out of office.

Mark – Please quit it with your stupid comments – it reflects badly on the citizens of the 4th District of Missouri – you sound like that nitwit MTG from Georgia!!!!

Same difference.

What is the point of this lie? At best your base and no one else believes it and you can’t do anything about it because its a lie. At worst your base and some swing voters believe it and you still can’t do anything about it because it’s a lie. In both cases, you’re fucked.

Oh god damn. You’re even more fucking stupid than I thought.

Yeah, you might want to ask Eric Schmitt (r) about that

We cannot allow China to purchase one more acre of American farmland!
[….]
12:07 PM · Apr 15, 2023

Some of the responses:

Talk to @Eric_Schmitt. He voted and voted overrule a governors veto to allow the sale of Missouri farmland. Were you upset when you reported on that when you were a journalist?

“…Were you upset when you reported on that when you were a newsreader?” – fixed it for you.

Who allowed it in the first place?

How about Canadians buying US farmland?

What would Brian Boitano do?

What you are saying, is that you want to take away Americans rights and freedoms to sell their land to the highest bidder.

Good job Congressman Alford. Say it like it is. 1 acre is too much for communist government to own. Especially next to a US Airforce base.

You know both Missouri senators and the governor voted to allow those sales?

Well, not Josh Hawley (r). He was too busy ladder climbing.

You should be speaking in Jeff city, not DC.

Then why did the Missouri GOP ok China purchasing our land?
Fact checking Mark
Yep the GOP voted for it
[….]

Maybe @IvankaTrump should give back her patents she got from China as well?

Trademarks, but okay.

Brand new issue?

Who is SELLING U.S. farmland to China?

Corporations? Just a random guess.

Talk, talk, talk!

Oh look, @RepMarkAlford is trying to look relevant.

Not working. Hypocrisy is the only agenda the @GOP knows.

Then why in the HELL did Eric Schmitt vote, not once, but TWICE, to sell MO agriculture land??? It’s YOUR party doing it you dingleberry!

And……you’ve already exceeded the limit that was ‘supposed’ to be sold off.

Your party did this. Don’t act like you’re shocked.

Who is selling it?

They already own the important acres needed to wack out our Air Force bases!!!!

Yeah, you know, feed corn will do that.

HEY! Wasn’t it Eric Schitt who ok’ed the sale of MO farmlands to the Chinese? Yes, it was. Come on @RepMarkAlford — call him up and ask him about it. Don’t you do your homework? Eric Schmitt voted twice to approve the sale of farmland to foreign businesses.

Haven’t y’all Republicans been in charge for 20 years? When did these sales of Missouri farmland happen?

Hey dumbass, you are the idiots that allowed for it to happen in the first place. Just resign and let people that know what they are doing take your seat.

Anything else happening on Saturday?

20 mins and you are tied to the radical MTG FOREVER

Hobby Club’s Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down By USAF
Steve Trimble February 16, 2023

A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.
[….]
“I’m guessing probably they were pico balloons,” said Tom Medlin, a retired FedEx engineer and co-host of the Amateur Radio Roundtable show. Medlin has three pico balloons in flight in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
[….]
Launching high-altitude, circumnavigational pico balloons has emerged only within the past decade. [….]it was possible to calculate the amount of helium gas necessary to make a common latex balloon neutrally buoyant at altitudes above 43,000 ft. The balloons carry an 11-gram tracker on a tether, along with HF and VHF/UHF antennas to update their positions to ham radio receivers around the world. At any given moment, several dozen such balloons are aloft, with some circling the globe several times before they malfunction or fail for other reasons. The launch teams seldom recover their balloons.
[….]
In fact, the pico balloons weigh less than 6 lb. and therefore are exempt from most FAA airspace restrictions…

Some of the responses:

Mark, your judgement is flawed-never served in the military-new to congress-your experience is very limitedas anchor on a early morning TV-be aware that you are not in any way qualified to ID national security threats – listen more – TALK & TWEET LESS

We’d pile on even more insults, but it’s a bit of a wasted effort when it flys over their litlle tinfoil propeller beanie covered heads.

From time to time a right wingnut concern troll will try to leave a comment here. Our system defaults to automatic moderation – that is, comments have to be approved. We don’t allow such comments to be linked to the original post, but on occasion, when we see fit, we’ll mock these attempts.

We see fit.

An attempted comment to one of our posts critical of yet another of Eric Schmitt’s (r) pandering balloon tweets:

Thanks Eric for Standing up against the Bidens administration China 1st policy , America’s National Security last. Those knocking President Tump for not taking out China Spy Balloons during his time in office, get your facts straight. Article came out General Milley did not inform President Trump about spy balloons over the Unitd States. General Milley said Trump was too aggressive. Since when is standing up for your country’s National Security too aggressive. Wake up all who watch the Fake News & do your own research instead of believing everything you see & hear. God Bless America.
