This morning, from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This impeachment inquiry has been a political attack against Trump. This is a move started by and supported by only Democrats.

This is what happens when California and New York Democrats want to undo the decision of the 1.6 million Missourians who voted for @realDonaldTrump.
8:52 AM · Dec 5, 2019

Math is hard, high dudgeon is cheap and easy.

As usual, there was much hilarity in the responses:

You’re peddling fiction.

Just like you did on birtherism.
Just like you did promising to lower our national debt.
Just like you did promising not to support tariffs.
Just like you do on climate change.
Just like you do on evolution.

You lie. Over and over. [….]

You know better. He did it. He is immoral, indecent, and probably, illegitimate. Our great country and our democracy is under attack by him, putin, and more. He’s debilitated our State Department, along with the EPA, along with any public entity that serves our citizens. Shame.

Nice tactic Vicky. Call out those coastal “elites”. Can’t wait to be rid of you in 2020.

Nope, this is what happens when presidents are DIRTY.

Shame on you for making it political, you know better.

You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a shame you’ve decided to choose that orange malignancy in the Oval Office over your country and your oath to the Constitution. But that’s OK. You officially won’t have to care about that oath after next Election Day anyway.

Ma’am, politics has absolutely NOTHING to do with what the Speaker is doing. Our President broke his oath to the constitution & to the American people. The evidence is irrefutable.

Wrong. It was started by the corruption of this Administraton – that was revealed and exposed.

Missouri voter here: impeach and remove.

Same

read the transcript!

The inferiority complex is strong in this one.

The rest of the country better become the new resistance, or we will become a two state nation!! East of the Mississippi will be New York and west will be California. Theirs will be the only votes that count!

/whine Math is hard.

I can’t wait to see you at the Harrisonville Walmart so I can publicly shame you. You’ll hear me before you’ll see me, that’s for sure. [….]

Such courage you have (sarcasm). When was the last time you had a town hall in Columbia to face your constituents? Come and share with us voters your defense of extortion, bribery and obstruction of Congress. [….]

“…Subject startles easily at the sight of concerned consituents…”

We understand there might be a future open public townhall at the national anti-union chain store branch in Harrisonville.

Ummmm how many people voted against trump? Really better track up those numbers again. He lost the popular vote.

No. This has nothing to do with undoing votes. It has to do with the LAW.

Thanks for reminding us that the GOP has no interest in oversight or accountability. Given this dereliction of duty, maybe you should find another line of work.

This is about abuse of power. If you support him, you must be compromised.

What is your defense for the accusations and testimonies against him? You can’t just dismiss them all because “only democrats support impeachment.” That’s not a defense.

Your disingenuousness & lack of spine will be quite lovely to read about in the history books. Hope you’re ready for the public shaming of your family for decades to come. You’re on the wrong side of this issue and you know it. Here’s hoping that karma will be extra bitchy.

Impeachment doesn’t undo an election any more than jailing a criminal “undoes” their right to freedom. Impeachment is called for under the Constitution when a President abuses his office.

Independent voter here. I always understood the value of ideas left vs right in politics. But I don’t understand why you are protecting corruption for a president who does not value the importance of the office he holds. Continue on this path and all moderates will leave you.

Interesting. The “last straw” wasn’t the overt racism of birtherism or the Muslim ban, nor mocking a reporter with a physical disability, nor attacking Gold Star parents, nor separating children from their parents and holding them in cages…

No this is what happens when a game show host crimes in the White House.

Trump withheld aid from a foreign country to get dirt on a political rival. That’s Bribery. This isn’t the Democrats doing, this is trump and his crooked administration.

“I need you to do us a favor, though.”

No this is what happens when Republicans stand up for Republicans and not the United States, you will NEVER receive my vote again for anything.

The only New Yorker responsible for Donald Trump’s malfeasance is Donald Trump.

No, this is what happens when someone actually has the balls to stand up and protect the constitution against high crimes and misdemeanors. Trump’s a crime boss and you’re a family member.

It’s all about abuse of power, obstruction of justice, the rule of law and upholding the Constitution, which was part of your oath of office. Get a clue or resign.

This impeachment is a slap in the face of every little city in rural America who voted for @realDonaldTrump. Democrats who live in big cities desire to rule over all. It’s past time for a Civil War or Breakup of the USA into 3 or 4 Autonomous Republics.

That there’s a real patriot. Good luck on your own, sucker. Until the revenues generated by the citizens of New York and California to subsidize those other states disappear, right?

Bullshit. I’ve voted against you in every single election you’ve run. I knocked on doors, put up signs. Every day you dismiss half the electorate of this state like you’ve got some kind of carte blanche to enact their corporate bought and paid agenda. You are the worst.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Or is that on purpose?

We’re gonna go with a “no” on the first one.

Trump is a criminal – and so are you for being his accomplice

Even Republican voters have Trump fatigue

#TrumpIsALaughingStock

Let us be clear about this Vicky, you support a criminal and a traitor.

The election you and your party are vaunting was objectively attacked by a foreign power to help donald trump win.

I don’t see the will of 1.6M Missourians, I see the will of Vladimir Putin.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

You’re on the wrong side of history and are spouting a false message.

Why are Republicans parroting Putin propaganda & disinformation? Why don’t Repubs defend Constitution? Your oath was meaningless. You know if a Democratic president had done any ONE of the things 45 has done, you’d impeach.
#Hypocrites

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

You believe a President can never be impeached because it would be “undoing” the decision of certain voters?

This conflicts with the express terms of the Constitution which mandates Impeachment for Bribery, Treason, or High Crimea and Misdemeanors.

No one is above the law.

No, that’s what happens when Missourians get hustled into voting for a lifelong New York Democrat as if he’s the brand standard of the Republican Party. Y’all got bamboozled. People like you are the reason i left the party. Grow a spine and standup for what’s right.

He changed his vote registration to Florida.

Eric Greitens (r), on Facebook:

Eric Greitens
[….]
Today, the prosecutor dropped the false charges against me.
This was a great victory and a long time coming. I’ve said from the beginning that I am innocent.
This experience has also been humbling, and I’ve emerged from it a changed man.
I believe that in all of our lives, we have to deal with pain, and that if we deal with it in the right way, we can learn wisdom.
We all have to deal with suffering, but if we deal with it in the right way, we can emerge with strength.
I also believe, as many people of faith do, that even in the hardest situations, we can find blessings.
Above all, I am sorry for the pain that this process and my actions have caused my family, my friends, and the people of Missouri.
I am extraordinarily grateful for the tremendous patience and courage of friends, family, and people of faith, who have all recognized that in time comes the truth.
We have a great mission before us. And at this time, I’d ask people of goodwill to come together so that we may continue to do good together.

Some of the responses:

Governor Greitens you lied from the beginning of your campaign, so much dark money, hypocrisy and abuse. You cannot govern Missouri.

I thank God the judge dismissed the case. I can’t imagine the stress and heartache your family has been through. We are all sinners, and thankfully we have a forgiving heavenly father. Bless you and your family.

Uh, the prosecutor dismissed the case, will seek a special prosecutor, and has stated that the case will be refiled.

I’m glad this is over with for you and your family. Keep up the good work for the state of Missouri.

Uh, it’s not over.

Bull.

The mistresses ex should be prosecuted..he did all of this!!

Think about that for just a second.

This changes nothing about the behavior exhibited by the governor and his lack of ethics, lack of transparency, dark money, etc, etc, etc. His hubris will be his undoing.

What about your other cases? This one is being refiled. Tell the whole story, Snowflake!!!!!

You left the part out about how they plan to re-file with a special prosecutor.

Now thank Hawley for throwing you under the bus

“So far, so good…”

He’s such a victim, so much pain.

You spelled “gave it to the special prosecutor” wrong

Talking about your faith and your blessings. You really are unbelievable.

The real tragedy is that there are people like you not only in our world, but in our government.

Dude it is not over. Liar!

Wow this very nightmare has ended? Glad

Uh…

Really? So you’re completely innocent?

Trump my president, Greitens my governor. Proud deplorable.

You gutted our education budget. You’re still a terrible person and a poor excuse for a governor.

Did you take a picture of it

Now that we got that taken care of , let’s get this nonsense crap charges and B.S and rumors to bed that the so called free press is yackin about and throw the whole lot in jail along with some Democrats pretending to be Republicans and the Communist pretending to be Socialist. And we might need to remind people that the leader of the Democratic party is hardcore Nazi that help kill thousands by turning in Jews. Makes me sick !!!

That’s a lot to unwrap.

You phony SOB. Let’s see how the ‘donor list’ goes. Hypocrisy and Republican family values march goes on.

You’re guilty as hell. Phony baloney

Impeach this man!

It’s not over yet.

affair, Eric Greitens., erosion, General Assembly, governor, Misouri

Piping in Embankment Dams

Soils can be eroded by flowing water. Erosion can occur underground if there are cavities, cracks in rock, or other openings large enough so that soil particles can be washed into them and transported away by seeping water. Then this type of underground erosion progresses and creates an open path for flow, it is called “piping.” Preventing piping is a prime consideration in the design of safe dams.

There appear to be a few cracks in the dam.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Today, from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r), via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler‏ @RepHartzler
I applaud VP @mike_pence for standing for our, our military, & our country by not supporting those who take a knee rather respecting same.
3:44 PM – 8 Oct 2017

Some of the comments reacting to Representative Hartzler’s (r) cheerleading for Mike Pence’s publicity stunt:

In other words? You don’t understand the First Amendment either. Resign.

A photo op ordered by racist leader. Do u know why people are kneeling Vicky? Do u care? Or is big lobby $ more important than 1st amend?

It was a publicity stunt that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. So, thanks for wasting my money to try and make your party look cool

Morally Bankrupt Pence Stages Fake Outrage. No Comments on KLAN RALLY. Vicky, You can;t wrap everything in patriotism.

If anything it’s you & the right who are being disrespectful by brining the flag, anthem, and military into a debate they have nothing to…
…to do with. You’ve hijacked legitimate peaceful, silent protest & made it about patriotism and race. Shameful, transparent, irresponsible

You are not a serious person. Tweeting on this subject is not helping anyone. It’s an embarrassing fundraising tweet.

how do you feel about the wasted tax payers money btw?

Constitution mean much to you?

He wasted taxpayer money on a flight for a pre-planned political stunt. And you support that? You are truly horrible.

You should focus on WHY ppl are taking a knee. Some of it has to do with our white supremacist govt & ppl like yourselves who are hateful.

58 people were murdered and 500 more shot on the streets of an American city last week, and this is what you’re concerned with?

Paid protester < real protester

Protesting injustice is supporting the flag twit, I spent time in a combat zone, you?

You misunderstand & intentionally misconstrue the purpose of kneeling. Reason has always been to protest police violence and racism.

So Mike Pence can exercise his 1st Amendment right, but athletes can’t? How does this work, exactly?

And as usual you’re missing the point. These athletes taking a knee aren’t protesting the military. You’re being obtuse.

It was a stunt that Doltard J Trump put him up to, all fake patriotism down to years old picture he tweeted. Y’all say nothing about racism

You are unfit for office if you don’t understand the constitution and the right to protest. Delete your account & resign.

You are a fake patriot ignoring the injustices that are suffered under the “protection” of law enforcement. The VP wasted taxpayers money.

Why would you voluntarily inject yourself into an already failing stunt?

In 1943, in a time of war, no less:

WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION ET AL. v. BARNETTE ET AL., 319 U.S. 624
“….If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us….”

High or petty.

She didn’t.

Representative Ann Wagner (r) today, via Twitter:

Ann Wagner‏ @RepAnnWagner
Kicking off my townhall in Chesterfield at RGA! Thanks to the 300 Missourians for attending!
2:57 PM – 29 Aug 2017

Some of the responses:

This is not a townhall. They are at work. Perhaps you could hold a real town hall w/ constituents. How can u represent us if u ignore us?

Why wasn’t this event open to the public? Your constituents in the 2nd (including me) weren’t able to attend. That’s not a Town Hall!…
It’s not even listed on your webpage. But you sure do have a very visible picture of you next to Trump!

You could have spoken to a much larger crowd if this event were open to the public. It’s not a “town hall” when the “town” is not invited.

Ann you’re better than this …

I am a registered voter in Chesterfield. How did you announce you were holding one? By carrier pigeon? Mine got lost in the “air” mail.

This is not a town hall so quit lying! Ask Sen. McCaskill to give you lessons on town halls for all people not just who you want to attend!

And again, this is a rep that thinks they have nothing to worry abt in 2018. #voteannout2018

So you’re going to brag about it on twitter, but where was the announcement?
– a voting constituent

“Thanks to my captive audience of RGA employees. They’ll sign up to hear anyone speak to get a little time away from their desks!”
Fixed.

Speaking to workers in the the middle of a work day is not a townhall #coward

How many times have I called and asked for a town hall? Where was this publicized? Why wasn’t I invited?

Hey Ann! Talked to your staff – why didn’t you let them know you had a Town Hall. They were Clueless!

.@RepAnnWagner hosting an “invitation-only” meeting…2nd District Constituents not invited. This was not a public event. #NotOk

A TH is where constituents have the opportunity to stand up in a public meeting and question you on issues; not A$$-kissing private events.

Real town halls are publicized and open to all. This is no more a town hall than Harlem Globetrotters vs NJ Generals is a basketball game.

That’s not a townhall according to American political tradition. It is not an open event.

Nope. #notatownhall. Why are you afraid of your constituents?

Fake News! How do you call a staged private event with paid attendees a town hall? Did you you answer staff-planted Q’s with relative ease?

At 3pm on a Tuesday? And why was I not aware? I’ve been asking.

3 words
Bogus…town…hall…

That is not a Town Hall, that is a chamber event you were invited to.

If it’s not open to the public, it’s NOT a town hall, Congresswoman.

But Ann, you didn’t invite the townsfolk to your Town Hall!

Didn’t want to face your constituents? Phony town hall. Can you say BS???

And on and on…

4th Congressional Ditrict, Donald Trump.Trumpcare, Misouri, Vicky Hartzler

From Charles P. Pierce at Esquire:

Paul Ryan Doesn’t Know How Insurance Works
But he’s got his sleeves rolled up, so watch out.
[….]
I had thought that the burlesque comic opera The Agony of Paul Ryan, Genius had closed on the night in 2012 when Joe Biden laughed the zombie-eyed granny starver off the stage during their debate. (That was the night that Ryan demonstrated that he knew it snowed in Afghanistan in the winter.) But I had not reckoned with his many fanboys among the kept political press. He ascended to become Speaker of the House, largely because nobody else wanted the job after John Boehner got kicked to the curb by the crazy people.

Now he is out there pimping the dungheap that is the new healthcare reform bill as though Mitch and Murray from downtown were lighting his pants on fire. He even lost the suit coat and broke out the PowerPoint on Thursday. It was like watching something on cable access late at night, or a flop-sweaty rookie substitute teacher, and it was hilarious—except for the parts where people will lose their health insurance and die, of course. And this is what he said and, peace be unto Dave Barry, I am not making it up, either:

Paul Ryan said that insurance cannot work if healthy people have to pay more to subsidize the sick.

This is literally how all insurance works. If someone’s house burns down, some of your fire insurance money goes to help that person rebuild. If someone gets sick, some of your premium, healthy person, goes toward that person’s coverage. Increasingly, I have come to believe that Paul Ryan is a not particularly bright creature from another world…

Paul Ryan doesn’t actually believe that. He believes that his party’s right wingnut base doesn’t know any better. And probably a number of members of his caucus.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2015 file photo].

You Tweet it like this, you own it:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler‏ @RepHartzler
#Obamacare has failed. I’m looking forward to repealing & replacing w/ a patient-centered solution.
[….]
2:08 PM – 9 Mar 2017

Some of the responses:

@RepHartzler #fakenews, you’re looking forward to Paul Ryan’s #Wealthcare that’s just a tax cut for the wealthy.

@RepHartzler You have failed. You have failed to listen to your voters. #wewillremember #doyourjob #trumpcare #crookedVicky #neverTrump

@RepHartzler prove that your solutions would provide more coverage at better rates than existing plan.

Maybe it’ll eventually trickle down.

@RepHartzler Kicking people off healthcare makes you happy?

[….] @RepHartzler Yeah Vick, kicking ppl off of healthcare makes you happy??

Evidently.

@RepHartzler I’ll be glad when we can vote you out in 2018.

There aren’t going to be any open public town halls in the 4th Congressional District with the current representative anytime soon. Like probably never again.

The republicans in Congress have revealed Trumpcare. They’ve laid an egg.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Via Twitter on Monday, from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler‏ @RepHartzler
Folks all across my district are being hindered by high insurance costs. We can and should do better. #RepealAndReplace
5:29 PM – 6 Mar 2017

Some of the responses:

@RepHartzler If u support the GOP draft bill I just reviewed, u r soooo out of a job come Nov 6, 2018 and it’ll be Hell between now n then

@RepHartzler If that bill is what u meant by “access to health care”, u r totally out of touch w/ your constituents. Oh wait no town halls

@RepHartzler With respect, ma’am, how would you know if you never meet with people from your district?

@RepHartzler I’m in your district, and you have never held a town hall or spent time with your constituents that I can tell.

Hey @RepHartzler – how does screwing them over with HSA plans help them out at all? Oh right, it doesn’t. The replacement is a J-O-K-E

@RepHartzler Meet with the “folks” in your district sometime, you liar.

@RepHartzler do you think HSA’s are a fair or realistic solution for the people of Cass County? Do you know our average household income?

@RepHartzler Better? The new GOP bill favors young and wealthy over elderly and poor. How is that better? Hope you’re ready for a fight.

@RepHartzler, this plan will let ppl die and make rural hospitals fail.

@RepHartzler How will insurance costs go down for those who need it most?

@RepHartzler Once again you leave out the people in your district that ACA helped. LIES MATTER! Read your Bible about them

@RepHartzler Where is the CBO score, which shows cost and how many will lose their insurance and lives? You are not a Christian

@RepHartzler you sure don’t know your district

@RepHartzler The people of Boonville would like to invite you for a townhall on the subject. You name time and place.

That ain’t gonna happen.
