Trump tin foil hat – from somewhere on the Internets

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.

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.

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.
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 “anything I don’t like or understand is the left” Hawley.
Are you still whining about your former book deal man?
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.

Some of the comments:
You just knew Missouri state rep Justin Hill would finally get the praise he deserves.
Calling it ‘cancel culture’ when good people refuse to stand silently by while you work to destroy the country allows you to pretend that you didn’t wreck your own life.
Your life is still wrecked, though.
They are always the victims. Always. An entire political movement built partially on a refusal to take personal responsibility for anything, to feel constantly ignored, put upon, persecuted. They are addicted to feeling like victims.
What he is referring to as ‘cancel culture’ is more accurately ‘consequences culture.’ In other words, your actions, who you support, and what you say have consequences, and sometimes they may not be to your liking. This is also called “adult culture.”
What happened to personal responsibility?
Bhahahahaha
Snowflake!
Cancel Culture is the GOP wanting to cancel the election and disenfranchise millions of voters.
Why should this be surprising to this guy? I wouldn’t knowingly do business with a Nazi, a KKK member, etc. You either believe in markets & capitalism or you don’t. The market is solving the problem. Now let’s hope this post goes viral and he loses even more business.
We feel for you, snowflake.
“Cancel culture” is a funny way of spelling “consequences of actions.”
I’m not understanding the correlation. How is firing your insurance agent for insurrection “cancel culture”?
You take the ride, you pay the price.
It’s almost as if siding with insurrectionists to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States makes you unpopular or something. That’s so unfair.
I’m old enough to remember when people like that used to complain that the problem with society today is that young people today are growing up without rules and consequences.
He literally took part in trying to cancel the votes of 81,283,485 people, 51.4% of votes cast.
Who would want to do business with an American traitor?
Cancel culture? Maybe simply principled customers with freedom to choose where they spend their money.
It’s not cancel culture. It’s called accountability.
There are consequences to be seditionist. You’ll just have to live with them.
You made your choice, buddy.
One of my favorite sayings:
“You can have anything you want in life, as long as you’re willing to pay the price.”

Misrepresentation between true service to others and commerce that includes customer service. And r u confused about your district?
I think she is, we don’t get to see her. Unless it’s from her safe space
Always worried about “Christians” but ignore the plight of others. Traveled all the way to MI to find some bs to feel better.
Great to see you are worried about Michigan. How about having a town hall here in Missouri and meeting with YOUR constituents?
Ditto: where the hell do you live Ms.MO4.
they shouldn’t discriminate or they shouldn’t serve the public. Pick one
Worry about Missouri, and not what’s going on in Michigan. What about the GOPs montage of states rights are you picking and choosing.

WARRENSBURG – Ten College Republicans were dubbed a security threat and refused admittance to President Barack Obama’s speech at the University of Central Missouri on Wednesday.
Despite the fact that the students had tickets to the event, security personnel turned them away at the door to the recreation center where Obama gave a speech on economic policy, telling the group it wasn’t about their politics but the president’s safety, State Treasurer of the College Republicans Courtney Scott told The College Fix.
Don’t you just love the Faux News Channel headline?
Uh, anyone who has ever attended a presidential or vice presidential event (ahem, we’re talking to you Faux News Channel) knows that there are periods before the arrival of the president and after the event when movement by individuals into and out of the venue is stopped. You know, for security reasons.
Sure enough, from the University of Central Missouri:
Statement from UCM Regarding Off-CampusWeb Story
An article that appeared on an online web site last week erroneously reported that students with tickets were turned away from President Barack Obama’s speech July 24 because of verbiage on their t-shirts. We are providing the following statement to provide accurate information, and encourage you to share these important details with others who may be interested. A link to a New York Daily News article also provides more information, including comments from a UCM student, who was an eyewitness to the alleged incident.
Official UCM Statement Regarding Admittance to President Obama Appearance
The University of Central Missouri has thoroughly reviewed claims of individuals being inappropriately denied admission to President Barack Obama’s speech on campus July 24, 2013. These reports are unfounded. No one who presented a ticket was turned away prior to all doors being locked in accordance with Secret Service procedures. We have confirmed everyone who presented a ticket prior to that time was admitted.
The chairperson of the Young Republicans backed up the University of Central Missouri’s account, saying a group of protesters was simply too late for the event.
[….]
The chairperson of the UCM Young Republicans similarly refuted Scott’s account, telling the Daily News a group of young GOPers staged a protest before the speech and they were too late when they tried to enter the venue where Obama was speaking.
Kailea Bogner, the UCM College Republicans chairperson, added that it wasn’t just College Republicans who were turned away.

[underline emphasis added]
If you’re late you don’t get in.
On the part of some, the republican cult of the victim. Such a display of planning and logistics excellence demands a promotion. Preferably to a republican presidential campaign.
Because if you’re in a sort of religious majority, not being able to use the institutions of government to proselytize people who don’t want what you’re selling makes you a victim.
The right wingnut cult of the victim, via Representative Todd Akin (r):
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO) along with Congressman Diane Black and Congressman Randy Forbes, sent a letter signed by 66 Members of Congress urging Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to investigate a pattern of hostility towards faith in the United States Air Force. The letter calls on Secretary Panetta to issue clear Department of Defense policy guidance, consistent with our Constitution, to preserve the place of religious expression in the military at large….
And, guess who else signed the letter? Yep, Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [pdf].
Representative Hartzler has a broad view that religious freedom means imposing one religious belief system on everyone else:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Many have written me opposing the #HHS mandate. I stand w religious liberty & will fight for conscience rights for all. #Fortnight4Freedom 2:34 PM – 22 Jun 12
….All Americans have the right to worship as they see fit within the bounds of the law, but no one has the right to use the government , military, or power of the state to endorse or promote his or her religious beliefs or demand help in spreading sectarian messages. Given that, it is imperative that when military professionals take the oath to support and defend the Constitution, these democratic principles are what they are promising to protect. On September 1, 2011 the Chief of Staff, General Norton A. Schwartz sent a memorandum for all commanders, the subject was “Maintaining Government Neutrality Regarding Religion.” In this memo he states, “Leaders at all levels must balance Constitutional protections for an individuals free exercise of religion or other personal beliefs and its prohibition against governmental establishment of religion”. Further “They must avoid the actual or apparent use of their position to promote their personal religious beliefs to their subordinates or to extend preferential treatment for any religion.” To do so, he states, “Commanders or supervisors who engage in such behavior may cause members to doubt their impartially and objectivity. The potential result is a degradation of the unit’s morale, good order, and discipline. Thus the flagrant proselytizing of subordinates by superiors, non voluntary evangelizing of members by chaplains and public prayer in official, mandatory settings, outside of voluntary worship, are at the root of what the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is fighting against….
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation was founded by Mikey Weinstein, a former Air Force officer, as a reaction to the religious harassment and proselytizing he and his sons received while attending the U.S. Air Force Academy.
