Today:

Mark Alford
[February 25, 2024]
I’m committed to serving ALL 772,047 constituents in the 4th congressional district, Republican, Democrat, independent, political agnostic.
So when I get comments like this from [….] on a Sunday scripture we post, I have to remind myself of that, suck it up and move on.
When I was on tv I wanted everyone to like me and watch our station. Once I got into politics, I quickly realized I can’t worry about being liked. Simply do what’s right, stand for what is right and follow God’s voice every day.
This is a spiritual battle, and our nation is at stake.
Love you ALL! And I do mean all.
~Mark

“…on a Sunday scripture we post…”

On the social media page in question:

Official page of Congressman Mark Alford | Proudly representing Missouri’s 4th Congressional District

That opened the door.

Avoid the end by avoiding the beginning.

Good look, that, a member of Congress naming someone and punching down.

As for the rhetorical slap fest on orthodoxy, we don’t have a dog in that fight.

Probably not attributable to Ghandi.

Poor, poor pitiful me

Where ya gonna park your car?

Denny Hoskins (r) [2022 file photo].

Spin, via email addressed to constituents, from Denny Hoskins (r):

Greetings! Adversity comes before every great victory, and that is never truer than as someone working within the Missouri Senate.

This week I was met with bitter news. I was unexpectedly removed as the Chair for the Committee on Economic Development and Tax Policy during a press conference held on Jan. 23, 2024. I was also removed from the Appropriations Committee. From what I understand this was not due to a failure to fulfill my duties as a chair or committee member. Rather, it seems to relate to the use of certain strategies used on the Senate Floor to pass initiative petition (IP) reform. It also comes after I voted alone against Senate Bill 748, which extends Missouri’s law relating to the federal reimbursement allowance (FRA).

Removing a senator from their position as chair hasn’t occurred during session in over a decade, and it is completely unheard of in our Senate’s history for a group of senators to lose their positions as committee chairs all at once. In a more comical development, they also moved my parking spot further away. I’ve heard leadership discussed removing my office furniture as well. Unfortunately, you can’t make this stuff up folks.

On top of that, these decisions were made without any attempts to compromise or discuss solutions directly with me, and I can’t help but feel it is a punitive action meant to try and silence me as I work to bring my conservative ideals, and the ideals of my constituents, to the forefront of the discussion on the Senate Floor.

Despite this, I will remain steadfast in pushing for the immediate discussion and passing of IP reform on the Senate floor. IP reform is a priority of conservatives throughout the state and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is a priority here in the Senate Chamber. We cannot wait until the last day of session to pass IP reform like we have previously.

I hope to open negotiations with my colleagues to help us all move forward in our work.

[….]

“…certain strategies…”

Translation: “reactionary obstruction”

“…In a more comical development, they also moved my parking spot further away. I’ve heard leadership discussed removing my office furniture as well. Unfortunately, you can’t make this stuff up folks….”

This is done all the time in Jefferson City.

The cult of the victim.

Sure. The goal of curtailing and effectively eliminating initiative petitions for Missouri citizens by using obstructionist tactics is just so democratic. The irony escapes Denny Hoskins (r).

“…I hope to open negotiations with my colleagues to help us all move forward in our work…”

Sure. The republicans have controlled the General Assembly for over twenty years. What gives anyone the impression that they’ll change the way they do business any time soon, if ever?

What a clown show.

Josh Hawley (r), victim.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Today:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
All the usual America-hating and Bible-bashing people have had their usual meltdown. Can’t handle the TRUTH
[….]
Last edited 12:19 PM · Jun 21, 2023

What are you, like twelve years old?

Some of the responses:

On the contrary. Democrats LOVE America. That’s why we don’t fist-bump insurrectionists who trash the Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the legitimate results of an election.

There’s that.

Referring to one’s own religion as the ‘truth’ demonstrates a disconnection from reality and a disregard for the principle of separation between church and state. But go off

You’d think a “constitutional lawyer” would understand that.

Actually slavery died in a lot of places way before America. If you forgot, they had to send troops to stop slavery in some southern states 2 years after the emancipation…we just celebrated that actually.

We just identified that your opinion is morally wrong, ideologically flawed, and historically incorrect. You can have whatever opinion you want. But neither Christianity nor the United States can take the moral high ground on slavery. But sure, gaslight us.

Sounds like you have been reading Trump’s Truth Social posts

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

I wasn’t aware stating facts about the history of the country was considered having a ‘meltdown.’

Are you calling African American church members “America Hating” and “Bible Bashing”?

Josh never studied HISTORY.

Anyone who capitalizes truth at the end of a tweet isn’t telling it

You’re with the “fine” people who wanted to hang Mike Pence right?

Dude . . . your “truth” is a complete distortion of the U.S. I’m a life-long, white Christian and I don’t believe that our country was founded so Christianity could be the only faith practiced . . . and as far as slavery goes, there was a civil war to end slavery.

You know what, Josh? I happen to identify as a Christian… and from what I’ve seen lately, neither you nor the rest of the Rethuglican Party are true Christians. You might try reading the red passages in the New Testament for once. Otherwise, there’s no hope for you.

You seem to he having some trouble with the truth.

Slavery “died” in America because most of the western world (outside of South America) had all ready put a stop to the atrocious, Bible-backed practice of owning humans.

Don’t use the Bible as a prop.

what is your message to non-Christian Americans???

Nobody is melting down over you Josh.

Sadly, when atheists act more like Jesus than you, evangelical Republicans… It’s no wonder folks are leaving the church or maybe finding another religion

Hawley should be informed that America was one of the last western countries to outlaw slavery. At the same time, he might want to know that, in terms of religion, America’s a pluralistic society. Freedom of religion is enshrined in the Constitution to which he took an oath.

The Christianity you speak of is not the teachings of Christ. Spare us your hypocrisy.

As my dad who is a pastor would say—there was no truth in your comment.

The fact that you would even dare to declare yourself the arbiter of truth is completely and utterly laughable, you treasonous smear on humanity.

And we’re back to playing the victim again, like a girly-boi.

You wouldn’t know the truth if you tripped over it.

Nothing you said was true though

As usual the republican ignores the facts in favor of stirring up their base with Bible thumping and falsehood. Keep denying the TRUTH

America and the Bible are not synonyms. And you are not the arbiter of who loves America. WE didn’t cheer on an insurrection, which we later ran from

Only the dipshits and villains in the Bible would have voted for you.

Jesus preached against everything the modern GOP stands for.

Thanks for the reminder.

No, Sweet Pea. You were just tone deaf. And also wrong. So very wrong.

Your tweet was an exercise in bad judgment; it was poorly conceived rhetoric and wholly inaccurate, Senator.

I mean, slavery ended in Britain a good 3 to 6 decades before it did in the United States, but this is consistent with my understanding of a Republican politician’s definition of “TRUTH”

I’m Jewish. Does this make me Unamerican?

My granny always told me to watch out for the LOUD people talking about how they’re christians, coz they were always the very worst people. Watch what they DO not what they SAY they do.

She was right.

You don’t know the truth.

You’re not very good at this.

You’ve never told it, insurrectionist.

I’m Jewish how is my questioning ‘Christianity is the faith’ Bible bashing?

People of other religions live in America, Josh. You are gross.

What are you, 7 years old? You don’t love this country and you don’t know the Bible. You fascists have your usual meltdowns when confronted with the truth.

Sorry, the TRUTH

That’s quite a ratio.

When all you ever play is beanball

Last week from Mike Pence (r):

Mike Pence @Mike_Pence
Baseball once stood for American greatness, but when it openly invites attacks on Christian faith, sexualizes children with graphic public displays, and undermines the family-friendly environment that baseball has long stood for, it is clear that those days are fading fast.

Read my Full Statement and Open Letter to Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers [….]
1:03 PM · Jun 2, 2023

Self-righteous bigot.

Some of the responses:

Can y’all boycott baseball so I can get my game tickets cheaper?

Oh, please stop.

Quit drunk tweeting from Hooters, Michael

What a pathetic attempt to get attention. Keep radical, right wing, pseudo-religion out of sports.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

“Not now honey, I need to read Mike Pence’s open letter to the Dodgers”

You guys sure do hate America

It’s a baseball game not a revival. How horrible an organization recognizes pride month or other cultures during the season. Work on polling over 2%.

Wait till you see what apple pie is doing.

Baseball is still great Mike, you jamming the evangelical right into everything, is not ok.
Don’t push your beliefs onto others.
You want to be the victim.

Don’t you have bigger things to worry about?

How is your imaginary issue different than your attacks on LGBTQ people? Why are you so nosy, bossy, and determined to force your religious beliefs on Americans that have different religious beliefs?

That seems awfully arrogant on your part, to think you know everything.

“hey, is this stool taken?” said the fly in a high squeaky voice as it came in for a landing.
[….]

Remember when a mob of “faithful Christians” tried to hang you? I don’t remember any drag queens being part of that.

Stop shoving your religious beliefs down our throats.

And read the constitution.

Our country was literally FOUNDED on the separation of church and state.

You should know this and if you don’t – you’re even more unqualified for elected office then we already believe.

Used to be “christians” followed the loving word of their god. Now “christians” spew hateful & violent rhetoric in the name of their god.
THIS is why millions run away & turn their backs on “christianity,” “religion,” and “church.”
There’s no hate quite like christian love.

American greatness is the striving for embracing others, respecting others, accepting others, human rights and love. Unfortunately, Mike, your version of Christianity is flawed by fear and a dark infatuation with deviant behavior that you project on others. #NeverBePresident

That’s what you care about? Manufactured outrage on inconsequential issues that MAGA pushes into the fore?

That’s really sad, man. Really, really sad.

“when it openly invites attacks on Christian faith,”

“sexualizes children with graphic public displays”

“undermines the family-friendly environment that baseball has long stood for”

None of that ever happened

Please tell me Christianity’s position on bearing false witness.

When it comes to suffering, those early Christian martyrs had nothing on you.

You’ll never be president, Mr. Karen.

None of that is happening.

I swear republicans live on a different planet.

Same planet, different world.

So conservatives are waging their war with virtually everything because as we know, what voting Americans want is to have their porn, sports, retail products and lifestyles all policed by a theocratic nanny state.

Please continue making really bad political decisions!

You think you’re still relevant?

I bet your social media manager double spaces after a period.

Baseball is a sport that people play & watch. People are different, so now, so is baseball. White Christians don’t own baseball or America.

When has it openly incited attacks on Christian faith? Maybe Christian nationalist’s trying to insert their demands on others, which is how it should be.
Keep your religion in the church and no one will care.

I’m sorry. Who are you again?

Attacks on Christian faith? I’m looking but I don’t see that. Unless you mean supporting LGBTQ people and their organizations, but I know a lot of gay Christians, so I really think this is your personal problem.

Okay Karen

Pride is only an attack on your Christian values if your Christian values are un-Christ-like

Jesus accepted everyone, you Christofascist bigot.

Imagine being an adult and having to resort to tweets like this to be able to run for President as a Republican..

Remember that time a bunch of Republicans took over the Capitol and smeared shit on the walls?

That was some great Jesus-y and family friendly behavior.

Nikki (r) is running for President, Josh (r) lives in Virginia

Trump tin foil hat – from somewhere on the Internets

From time to time right wingnut concern trolls try to leave comments 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 Spitting into the wind (March 14, 2023):

Do any of you left wingers know that all of the SVB executives got big bonuses before they closed? Also this is all planned. Biden sold us out to the WEF so that they could further their One World digital currency to give them complete control of all of us. Josh Haley is looking out for the American People but the Democrats would rather stick behind a President that can’t even finish a sentence without shuddering or talking complete nonsense. Tell me exactly what has he done that is good for this country?

A libertarian is just a republican who wants to blow dope.

For starters – Joe Biden (D) doesn’t pay porn stars $130,000.00.

A submitted comment:

Wow. Scientology is just guessing. Our native American Brothers an sisters already ready proved what’s going on with the climate. And spending billions of taxpayers dollars isn’t going to fix it. But that’s what democrats do. Biden has run this country into the ground and just about everyone here calls Republicans a cult. He’s done absolutely nothing for this country but sale us out. Atleast we still had a country under Trump. He didn’t kiss the queers ass and wasn’t letting every illegal immigrant in this country for taxpayers to pay for. Democrats have got to be the dumbest people on the planet. To believe all the horse shit Biden is putting out. You should be ashamed. And the democrats are only going after trump so hard because they know what will happen if a republican gets president The Clinton’s an Obamas and don’t forget Biden and the other geriatric fuck. Pelosi. They should be executed for the treason. But you idiots keep blowing off steam. It makes you feel better knowing your part of this countries problem. When the lines are done being made. Then we will fix this problem. An by the way. My sources aren’t fabricated internet bullshit. I worked for this ridiculous government for almost 8 years.

“…Scientology is just guessing….”

Then, it hit us. Our commenting troll was upset about some responses to Eric Schmitt’s (r) social media post which were quoted in Every right wingnut republican accusation is actually a confession, Eric (r). (March 11, 2023):

Did you fail all of your science classes?

[….]

No, it is science. A lot of citizens still believe in science. I wish you did.

[….]

Yeah sure, scientific facts and current extreme weather are just not a problem.

[….]

You’re right Eric, I trust you over the worlds leading scientists on this subject… [….]

[….]

It’s the cultists who cannot differentiate science from the occult.

You get the picture.

We’re doomed.

“…Atleast we still had a country under Trump. He didn’t kiss the queers ass…”

Where do you stand on drag shows? Just asking.

“…It makes you feel better knowing your part of this countries problem…”

Correct and resubmit.

“…I worked for this ridiculous government for almost 8 years.”

So, your participation helped create the problem that appears to upset you? How does that work?

“…When the lines are done being made. Then we will fix this problem…”

Are you sure you’re ready for lines?

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.

Any guesses?

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The corporate left begins the banning of books. Openly and without apology. Welcome to the new normal
[….]
8:08 PM · Feb 22, 2021

The comments are hilarious:

You incited an insurrection and you’re polling at 1% for 2024… would you say it was worth it?

Thanks Josh. Any chance the book cancellation is about anything the author might have done to depress sales and turn off would be buyers?

Something about a raised fist? Just guessing.

Great brand brah

A school district in your state banned Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five,” but I’m sure you were fine with it.

Your book is available for pre-order–on Amazon, no less. It has not been banned. Also, you should resign over your role in the Jan. 6 riots that endangered your colleagues and killed five people.

You break your oath of office every day you don’t resign.

It’s so funny that party that celebrates banning books from public libraries gets in a hissy fit over private companies deciding what books they want on their own shelves. It’s almost like 2A is the first amendment they recognize.

Has your book been banned? I missed that. You must think your followers are stupid.

Well, if his followers are buying the “banned” rhetoric, are they not, in fact stupid? So I think he knows exactly who is followers are.

More grievance.

I don’t think you have enough of it in your heart.

Also, I am sure you can print your own book.

Timmy McVeigh, Junior, says what?

I think you have taken the rejection of your manifesto in a strange direction. Maybe publishers felt you were so off kilter that nobody wanted to hear what you had to say? Accept the feedback, it’s a gift, grow from it.

It’s the market. You love free markets. The free markets know your people don’t buy books as often and don’t want to offend those that do.

Capitalism.

“My God, they’re using our own weapons against us!”

Sorry Josh, insurrectionists don’t get to publish books. Do a Twitter thread. That’s all it’ll take.

It’s a free market.

America is sick of hearing you wing nuts gripe about not being heard.

Show some of the “Personal responsibility” you brag about and keep quiet.

Maybe that can’t be expected from people who supported overturning an election and a violent insurrection.

So the new “conservative approach is to have government FORCE corporations to carry speech they find necessary.

You’re a constitutional lawyer
Tell us what part of the constitution says the government gets to decide what speech is carried by a corporation.

Why are you so against the free market? What, you want the government to *force* bookt sellers to carry those books? Isn’t that kinda… Communist?

Fascist, actually.

I’ll might buy your book a year from now when it’s being sold at Dollar Tree or at a garage sale, so I can line my kitty liter pan!

Why would a private company want to associate with an author who lied in order to subvert an election and incited violence against the seat of the US government?

It’s the old normal. Publishers never did like to be associated with things the majority of people disapprove. This is why most fringe movements feature a wide selection of self-published literature, stapled together by the author.

The alternative is just as dystopic: publishers are forced to sell books they don’t want to sell. Now that is what sounds un-American.

Personally, I would be happy for you to fire up your stapler. You can make it look pretty snappy with PhotoShop, ya know. That’s your right.

I thought y’all loved it when private companies did whatever they wanted.

Wait, you want Congress to have more control over corporations, for example telling publishers what books they can and cant publish?

Wait, you want to tell a private corporation how to run their business? Whatever happen to Capitalism? Whatever happen to deregulation?

If he had a third side of his face to talk out of, he would.

What about his ass? He seems to talk out of it plenty.

Now that you mention it.

Better than inciting an insurrection openly and without apology. When are you going to resign?

Well?

Why do you believe that your words and actions should have no consequences?

Just bad business to publish a book that no one is interested in.

Heh.

It’s not censorship or anything else of the kind. It is akin to a publisher deciding not to publish Hitler’s Mein Kampf because it’s simply hate speech from traitors and cowards.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: There is no such thing as “the corporate left.”

Oxymoron.

Private companies choose what merchandise they want to carry. They can’t be forced to carry political and idealogical filth.

Feelings still hurt Josh? Need a safe space?

Seditionist. Don’t try try to change the subject.

That raised fist image is going to follow him everywhere.

Hes a f#ucking lawyer???!!! c
Clearly hes smart enough to know better, right? or is law school that easy?

He was a legacy?

Always playing the victim card.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This is what we get:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
It’s time to stand up against the muzzling of America
[….]
8:35 PM · Jan 24, 2021

Seventeen days of silence from the seditionist on his Twitter account until today. And all we get is self-serving whining.

Some of the responses:

Strange muzzling. You announce the muzzling on a Big Tech platform about a column in a major newspaper. Me thinks you protest too much.

#JoshHawleyIsATraitor #joshhawleyisaliar #JoshHawleyResign

You wanted to disenfranchise MILLIONS of voters. You wanted to muzzle people of color. WTF is wrong with you.

Sweetie, you’re not being cancelled. You being held accountable for your actions in supporting insurrection. Take several seats, Josh.

How can someone who is cancelled have an op ed in the Post?

You don’t seem terribly muzzled.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

The senator is complaining about being ‘muzzled’ for challenging the results of a free and fair election. He believes ‘cancel culture’ is silencing him after he helped incite an insurrection that left five people dead, including a police officer.

He also believes it’s unconstitutional for a private company to cancel a book deal. The victim complex on this one…

You tried to disenfranchise millions of voters in a seditious plot and are whining about this?

Have you no honor?

Oh cut the shit. You are guilty of sedition and need to be removed.

You are a disgrace to the office and we will never forget what you did.

It’s time for you to Quit.

This guy literally incited a riot…on his own free will… and now he’s whining about some censorship bs

It’s time to stand up to seditionists

You’re a traitor and that’s how you’ll be remembered, Senator.

So you wrote an op-ed that made the cover of the NY Post and it’s about (checks notes) having your voice muzzled.

How fortunate the US would be if that was in fact true.

The irony is completely lost on him.

So elitist to write for a New York paper. I thought you were the senator from Missouri. Is Missouri not good enough for you?

If it were good enough for him he’d live there

You weren’t muzzled. You spoke out and caused a bloody insurrection.

Stop deflecting from your sedition

The muzzling of Americans?

You mean like when you tried to muzzle the votes of 81 million Americans? Including me?

Literally fuck off, dude. Consider, just for one hot second, that you might have been in the wrong.

Our State is dying Senator. Stop whining about your book deal and do your job.

Since your actions are deserving of censure and expulsion from the Senate, I’m not surprised you are opposed to consequences.

The picture of privilege – having a national platform from which to speak.
You’re not being muzzled, you’re being held accountable.

Five people died in a right wing attack on the Capitol you incited. They’re silenced now. You did that. Resign.

Difference between being silenced and being ignored.

New York Post op ed. Very relatable to a Missourian.

Your. Career. Is. Over.

Stop fighting it. It only makes it sadder.

Your first tweet in days could have been much, much better than this.

Your actions will have consequences, now it’s time for you learn about the 14th Amendment.

It’s time to resign, you lying, seditious traitor.

But you had no issue with trying to muzzle me and the millions of others who didn’t vote for Trump, though, did you?

“I’m being censored… here’s a link to an op-Ed I wrote in a major publication about it.”

It’s time to stand up to seditionist, inciting, traitors and expel them from the Senate. Your whining isn’t going to make us forget.

“Local DC socialite and Ivy Educated lawyer Josh Hawley is furious after being unable to find constitutional clause that would force private bookseller to publish his fascist manifesto after attempting overthrow of American democracy“

I’m constantly amazed that there a group of ppl that believe ppl like @HawleyMO when they say they are silenced, “muzzled”, etc. when they see them say it in front of a camera or read their exact words they have tweeted or told a reporter to report.

How can silence be so loud?

You refuse to talk to local media. You aren’t muzzled.

You misspelled “I resign.”

I too have been muzzled by the New York Post’s front page

Man, I really hope you just shut the fuck up soon

Now you are doing fascist op-eds in the New York Post?

You are free to say whatever you want, and we are free to call it seditious.

The irony of being published in a New York City newspaper, sharing it on Twitter, and then having the audacity to say you’re being muzzled. The mind boggles.

republican campaign supplies.

And on and on…
