Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): an issue with reading comprehension

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8
…The Congress shall have power…To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water…

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
The War Powers Resolution not only ties @realDonaldTrump’s hands at a time when flexibility is needed, but it sends a signal to Iran that the defense of our nation is not at the forefront of congressional priorities. Instead, this resolution suggests that partisan politics are.
1:21 PM · Jan 9, 2020

Some of the responses:

let’s bookmark this tweet for months from now when people are still dying and suffering because of an unnecessary and impulsive murder that will harm many many people except, of course, the white Republicans cheering on the deranged lunatic in the white house

So you’ve abandoned your oath to the constitution and have chosen to ignore the separation of powers.

You’re okay with signing over your power to the executive branch.

Got it.

Jesus… Pick up a American History book. YOU, as part of Congress have the power to go to war. Founders wanted YOU in the Congress to debate it and the come to consensus. They HATED the idea of a King taking us to war!

Congresswoman, according to the Constitution, who has the power to declare and wage war? Is it the Legislative or the Executive?

How many guesses?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution:
“[The Congress shall have Power …] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water …”

#TakeItUpwiththeFramersVicky

Hey Vicky, have you READ the constitution?? Maybe you need a refresher!

It is Congress’s role to declare war, not the president’s. Can you read?

Why do you hate the Constitution?

No,it gives Congress more authority- as founders intended.

It sends the message that we are a democracy.

Bingo! We have a winner.

Post a list of names that voted for this, please.

Too ill informed and lazy to look it up.

War decisions were never designed to be given to one man. Our constitution always intended for the house, representing the will of the people to have say. U.S. Citizens enjoy this in Our great nation, we are not an autocracy or a dictatorship. @GOP

You are hardly one to lecture on partisan politics. Trump says jump, you say how high.

So you swore an oath to the trump crime family and not to the United States? You are actively working against the best interest of this country and need to be replaced. Shame on you for spitting on your oath to uphold the Constitution.

What it tells me is that the Dems don’t want an unstable malignant narcissist to be able to fly of the handle and start a war. That seems reasonable. Why are you so willing to give up your co-equal branch of govt constitutional powers?

“Partisan Politics”? That’s exactly the game you play. The GOP is now the Party of Trump. You do what he tells you without even thinking or taking into consideration how your vote affects your constituents. Shame on you.

Well then why don’t we just dissolve the House and Senate and go for the dictatorship you are looking for. While we’re at it we can just tear up our constitution and Trump can use it to wipe his ass before he flushed the toilet 10-15 times.

Blindly defend him Vicky. Dignity is overrated

She got to ride on Air Force 1 once.

Oh come on!!! Read the constitution that you are supposed to uphold Vicky.

Vicky you are such a freaking puppet. Pathetic.

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

Yesterday:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
First impeachment article – NO
7:36 PM · Dec 18, 2019

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Second article of impeachment – NO
7:41 PM · Dec 18, 2019

Some of the responses:

And you lost

Let’s see what happens in the Senate.

That could be a while.

Vicky doesn’t believe jeopardizing our national security is an abuse of power.

Let’s fire her.

Enjoy your false idol.

Happy Impeachment Day!!!

Or is it Merry?

Don’t you have a plane to catch?

We see what you did there.

History will remember you Vicky.

Disgraceful.

Yep. You ARE the team player.

It’s official.

Vicky believes it’s appropriate for a sitting president to solicit foreign gov’t interference in US elections and to use appropriated aid as leverage.

#UnAmerican
#Shame

Missouri voters should take their civic duty more seriously.

In 2016, they voted for a governor who was removed from office and a president who has been impeached.

And, of course, voted for a MO-4 Rep who doesn’t care about the sovereignty of the United States.

Vicky is a Trump puppet

You don’t represent me, and you don’t represent patriots of this country. You are an embarrassment, complicent, and a traitor to your oath of office.

What is the point of you?

If you can’t/won’t do your job, resign.

Time to dust off the ol’ resume Vicky

Worth it all If you open up a textbook in 100 years the first line about Trump will be that he’s one of 3 presidents to be impeached

Vote NO to Vicky Hartzler in November 2020

I am very disturbed that Republicans in the house and senate are putting their political party ahead of their duty to our country.

Vicky doesn’t believe ignoring lawful Congressional subpoenas is Obstruction of Congress.

She has violated her oath to uphold the separation of powers.

A wilful insistence to ignore illegal acts (even those committed by the President) doesn’t seem very American.

Coward.

I’m sure if any Democratic President ignored every subpoena a Republican majority House sent them, you’d vote the same way? If I was accused of a crime and declined to participate in my trial, do you think I’d be acquitted? Either way, the answer is no and you’re a moron.

Shame on you for not acting morally and ethically.

Could you meet with your constituents and talk us through why you voted no? Were the witnesses not believable? Do you think he did nothing wrong? Meet with us and let’s talk.

That’s not gonna happen. Ever.

You’ll never get my vote again. I’ll actually campaign for anyone running against you.

Did you not listen to the evidence? You have lost my vote because you vote for political party instead of the issue.

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

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): Because, it’s not why?

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

More word salad this evening:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
It’s true.

The only bipartisan vote throughout this entire impeachment inquiry has been to not move forward.

Now, even more House Democrats are coming forward to hold Speaker Pelosi to her own standard and vote against the impeachment against @realDonaldTrump.
[….]
5:15 PM · Dec 15, 2019

As usual, there was much hilarity in the responses:

This is not a refutation of any of the evidence that Trump abused his office and obstructed Congress. Why can’t you refute those charges? Is it because they are true so you can’t refute them?

One person.

You mean that one Democrat from NJ that switched parties?

Uh, if he’s switched parties that means he’s a republican.

Fox News says 50% of America supports impeachment and removal. Roughly 10% undecided. Roughly 40% still delusional. Sorry, I stand with the majority.

LOL anyone who doesn’t put the GOP above all has “flipped.” Wow. There is no light for some.

Well I[f] they don’t care about our democracy and country

Entire @GOP clearly forgot the oath they took

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…

We will remember that you don’t care about our national security, our elections, or the Constitution. Your crafty use of the word bipartisan, is very unbecoming, when it IS the GOP’s who refuse to uphold their oath. YOU HAVE NO SHAME!

Hi Representative Hartzler – What did @GOPLeader mean when he said Putin pays Trump? Let us know, ok? Thanks!

Yeah, we remember that.

You forgot about Justin Amash.

I guess in Missoura you don’t care about election interference …

You’re voting against our Constitution.

The people want this corrupt man who thinks the rules are beneath him removed. He does not serve the people, only himself.

#ImpeachAndRemoveTrump

The Republican party is turning me into a Democrat.

Can you say I’m LYING, Vickie???

What the Republicans are doing is covering up crimes of a president and that’s on all of the Republicans.

Can it be helped that the whole Trump/GOP is corrupt?

Only @justinamash had the moral fortitude to call Trump out, & y’all asked him to leave the party. You’re spineless, & willing to support a blatantly corrupt president because you fear the political ramifications, the consequences to the country be damned.

WTH are you smoking lady ?

Trump is a liar. Always has been. Always will be.

In other words, your oath to the Constitution does not amount to a hill of beans to you. Where exactly in the Constitution regarding impeachment does it state that it must be bipartisan? I’ll clue you in, it doesn’t.

It’s not bipartisan because you Republicans are a cult. Your Dear Leader commands you.

Sad, pathetic sheep.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): Why not hold an open public town hall in the district and actually find out?

But, she won’t.

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

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
The Judiciary Committee #ImpeachmentVote was a straight party vote. I remember when Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Nadler said that impeachment should be broad and bipartisan.

#MO04 overwhelmingly support @realDonaldTrump. I won’t be supporting the Democrats’ political theatrics.
[….]
9:44 AM · Dec 13, 2019

“…I remember when Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Nadler said that impeachment should be broad and bipartisan….”

It is. If you don’t count the republican sycophants in Congress.

As usual, there was much hilarity in the comments:

I remember when the GOP cared about the Constitution too…

It should be…..but GOP put Trump above the Constitution.

Never in my life did I think I would live to see the day the gop betrays the country en masse, and yet here we are.

“should be” but “can’t be” when we have a #ComplicitCorruptGOP full of #usefullidots

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Hard to be bipartisan when you have a panel of monkeys covering their eyes and ears and intentionally misconstruing the Constitution whilst screaming into mics in a pathetic contest to see who can get a FOX News soundbite to activate the dialysis center voting bloc.

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

That was before Putin took over a party.

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

That would require you. #CountryBeforeParty

Vicky Hartzler, enabling the man behind Trump University and the Trump Foundation.

You have abdicated your sworn duty and responsibility. Shame on you

This independent, suburban voter thinks the fact that this was a vote straight done party lines says more about Republicans than Democrats.

I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone, how in the world can you deny the evidence against that poor excuse for a human being. You are doing a great disservice to this country and the people will remember this!

Maybe, maybe not.

I think Pelosi made the grave mistake believing that there were a few Republicans that would stand up against a man so corrupt he had to pay 2 million to charities he stole from. It was her genuine mistake to believe this could be ethically handled.

It should be but Republicans are corrupt. All roads lead to Putin.

In Russian – “We are so fucked.”

That was when there was still an assumption Republicans would put country before party. That’s clearly out the window. And it doesn’t preclude the Dems doing the right thing. You’re shameful.

It has gone down the toilet with trump

I remember when #GOP was respectable.

We never thought the GOP was this criminal. But ya are, Blanche!

As your constituent I want you to know that I SUPPORT the impeachment of the traitor trump. And if you don’t then I will actively campaign against you in your next election.

I remember when representatives worked for the country and didn’t enable a criminal

If only there were witnesses who were handed subpoenas that could provide exculpatory evidence for the President…

She incorrectly assumed that there would be some members of the GOP that weren’t treasonous cowards. She was wrong.

There’s that.

So you think it is ok for a president to withhold aid in exchange for help with his personal reelection campaign? Our only if it’s your guy? It’s ok for a president to refuse to cooperate with a constitutionally mandated congressional investigation?

You too took an oath to defend the constitution, and you, your colleagues, and @POTUS are guilty dereliction of duty! Do your job and defend the Republic!

I remember when the GOP respected the constitution. Good times, long ago.

It would have been broad and bipartisan if Republicans had read the Constitution and followed its guidelines. No sane, ethical person can possibly think that what Trump has been doing to our country is right. It’s immoral and traitorous.

And it should have been. Too bad republicans are cowards who will not stand up for our democracy.

Complains about voting along party lines
Votes along party lines.

You can’t write hypocrisy like this

Yes, it’s too bad that the Republicans are more about partisan loyalty than loyalty to the OATH OF OFFICE they took. It makes me sad.

I remember when republicans were against foreign influence in our elections.

Maybe you should try having a town hall sometime so you can find out what your constituents actually think

Bingo!

So you don’t support impeachment for political reasons, the truth and the Constitution be damned? Got it.

Do you remember when you had a soul? What did you get for it, Vicky? Did you trade it for a golden fleece? Will that protect you from the scythes of history? The contempt of men and women?

Political theatrics is what the GOP displayed for all of America to see. #MoscowMitch

Shame on you. Your constituents wont forget your cowardice.

The GOP chose to ignore the abuses by Trump. That is on, and will always be on the GOP. That stain will stay with them in all of history.

Following a con man pulling the ultimate con.

Host a town hall and you will learn otherwise. Don’t forget you represent your whole district not just your base.

Not gonna happen.

Impeachment doesn’t undo an election. It charges an unfit President with high crimes and misdemeanors. If he were to be removed Mike Pence would be President and HRC would still be a private citizen. Get it?

And I remember what @LindseyGrahamSC said about @realDonaldTrump before he got elected. DO YOU?

There’s that.

How nice to know your job is far more important then your oath of office, the Constitution of the US, and the American people as a whole, history will record you as being just that spineless.

When history is recorded, people will note the Republicans who did not vote for impeachment.

That was said before and surely couldn’t have accounted for the fact of the entire GOP turning their backs on their oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution. Just to protect one conman who would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat if it meant saving himself.

I’d like you to do me a favor, though.

Heh.

I remember when republicans cared about the rule of law. I guess times have changed huh?

The impeachment is not trying to undo Missourians’ votes for President Trump. That is dishonest and misleading. On the other hand, if you are in favor of Congress abdicating oversight of any President going forward, vote no.

So are you in the “he didn’t do it” camp or the “it’s fine that he did it” camp?

The “I don’t want to get primaried by a greater whack job than me” camp.

You can’t say you made this decision based on the evidence submitted. What ever price they paid for you was too much. I hope you got the money up front

Republican intransigence is not a defense

When you took office you swore an oath to protect & defend the Constitution of the United States, not to defend/protect the president or the Republican Party. Evidence shows trump committed impeachable offenses. To vote for impeachment is to honor your oath.

Shocking to no one. You would rather watch our democracy burn then dare get in the way of your farm subsidy checks. But hey, maybe you want to come to the biggest city in your district to talk about it? Lol – just kidding, I know you never willingly talk to your constituents.

I think they underestimated how craven their current Republican peers are. Congrats on being on the wrong side of history.

You will go down in history as part of the Russian plot to take down American democracy.

Future generations will have to read about it in Russian.

spare me with your bull

Putin thanks you Vicky

I am embarrassed for the GOP theatrics and hysteria during the proceedings. The only thing they can do is yell and scream nonsense because there is no defense for the lawlessness of the current administration. As one of your constituents I ask you to put Country over Party.

I remember when Republicans were intellectually honest and had principles.

Actually, no, I don’t. They have been systematically lying to the American people, defunding education systems, disenfranchising voters, and enriching their donors since before I was born.

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

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

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.

Yesterday:

U.S. Representative Lawrence Clarifies Statement on LeDuff Podcast
November 26, 2019 Press Release

Detroit, MI – Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence (MI-14) issued the following statement in clarification of her interview with Charlie LeDuff:

“I was an early supporter for impeachment in 2017. The House Intelligence Committee followed a very thorough process in holding hearings these past two weeks. The information they revealed confirmed that this President has abused the power of his office, therefore I continue to support impeachment.

However, I am very concerned about Senate Republicans and the fact that they would find this behavior by the President acceptable.”

###

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

Yesterday morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
The impeachment inquiry only highlights divides in our nation. It has prevented us from working together to deliver real results for hardworking people.

The election is 11 months away. Let the American people decide President Trump’s political future.
[….]
10:36 AM · Nov 26, 2019

The American people decided Donald Trump’s political future on November 6, 2018. Don’t you remember?

As usual, there was much hilarity in the responses:

No, Vicky, the impeachment inquiry highlights that trump is utterly corrupt and should be removed from office. Impeach, Convict, Remove! Then in November 2020, VOTE BLUE!

there is a criminal in the white house and he should be held accountable.

Okay.

I decide… to impeach and remove Donald J. Trump from office.

But in the meantime u want us to turn a blind eye to the lawlessness of what he HAS done??

Sure sounds like that, don’t it?

@HouseGOP @FoxNews “Republicans hope lying will work better then their current start of defending the indefensible”

Vicky endorses trump’s crimes

It actually highlights the departure from truth and consequence by all @GOP. You’d have to be a fool to believe a word from @potus or any republican. Have a nice day, Vicky.

That’s the same as “bless your heart” if you live north of the river, right?

No, the highlights are that the American people are seeing the depth of corruption in our government, and not just from this administration, others also. The American people need to stand up for the constitution & hold even Presidents accountable, impeach and set the example.

That is not a defense.

BTW
– the gov’t has been divided since 2010
– trump & the GOP have made it worse
– 200+ bills waiting for
@senatemajldr to act

Got caught in the act. Withholding military aid in exchange for a personal favor is bribery (aka quid pro quo). Aid was released when the coverup scheme blew up

A crinimal potus who likens himself to Jesus Christ, compromises our national security and believes he is above the law, is what’s dividing our nation. My question is why doesn’t this bother you?
#CorruptGOP

Lol. Nope. Trump for prison.

How about we respect rule of law and punish those not following it? Crazy idea, huh?

Where is your responsibility in check a branches abuse of power?

No. Goddammit. He is corrupt and I’m sick & tired of the GOP pretending he is not. His entire entourage are corrupt. Most have had to resign because of ethics violations. Others have gone to prison. This corrupt administration is insufferable. What happens when he defies SCOTUS?

by that time, it’ll be too late. Just watch.

“It has prevented us from working together.” SERIOUSLY? Are you high??? They have committed crimes!

That is a fatuous argument.

@realDonaldTrump is accused of cheating on the last election and attempting to cheat on the next election. Are we guaranteed that he won’t still try to cheat? No.

He can’t be trusted. Let the investigation finish, and probably #ImpeachAndRemove.

Had to look that one up. Heh.

this from the party who said “we’re going to make sure Obama is a one-term president”

working together, it seems is convenient when your party is on the defense

#HeyGOPAmericansArentStupid

But, maybe their base is.

This is always your answer except if you had the chance to put another justice on the court your mantra would change. You continue to lie to the American people!

Please provide the name of the survey to which you are referencing? I believe the number were just released last night showing no change in the last 7 days. Naming your Source is the always best practice. Bills are moving forward to die in $ Moscow Mitch’s Graveyard.

Eat shit #welfarevicky

Well. That individual certainly has a strong opinion.

Sure vicky. Who cares if he broke the law. Nice concept

Impeachment or not, it is good to know what Trump is doing behind our backs. Who knows what else he will do to this country before the next election. Do you really want to wait that long and see the division getting even wider with more violence?

So you are saying trump hasn’t been divisive? You are saying if their is wrongdoing let it go?

Well, he is. And he’s confessed on TV.

So someone who is cheating and abusing their power, to win an election. To say that we should wait until after that election to do anything is just dumb. You know when everyone who worked on this says that he is guilty. It takes a special kind of stupid to say let’s wait.

You are an idiot. It’s about the soul of our country and holding this President and future Presidents accountable. If you do not understand that, I strongly suggest you resign immediately

Or you could stop kissing the ass of a traitor.

There is that.

Lindsey Simmons (D): on a mission in the 4th Congressional District

A campaign video from Lindsey Simmons, one of the announced Democratic Party candidates in the 4th Congressional District:

The transcript:

Lindsey Simmons: In the summer of 2017, my husband, an Apache pilot for the United States Army, deployed to the Middle East for the second time.

He had his mission, and I had mine.

A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant with our first child. Nothing prepared me to make that call half a world away.

Hi husband. Guess what?

Our baby allowed us to focus on our growing family…instead of the war.

And my mission? It changed.

Chris: Getting all excited over there, huh?

Lindsey Simmons: To making sure my baby knew his daddy’s voice.

Chris: That’s the gist of it, though. I love you!

Lindsey Simmons: During my fourth month, Chris was deployed to a new forward location in Syria. Local Kurdish allies helped supplement the unit’s limited provisions with additional supplies. Including food.

Because of that alliance, Chris returned home‚ just in time for Jace’s birth.

Mission complete.

Not long after, President Trump first signaled the U.S. would abandon our Kurdish allies — the same people who helped my son have a father.

So, I contacted my Congresswoman, Vicky Hartzler. Well I really hope to hear something from your office. But I never did hear anything. We didn’t receive a phone call. An email. Not so much as a form letter from her office.

I’m a seventh generation Missourian, from a hard-working farm family. And I put myself through Harvard Law School. I don’t give up. And so, I thought I’d go to a town hall meeting. Turns out, Congresswoman Hartzler hasn’t held a town hall in five years. She must have been too busy.

It’s been almost a decade since Congresswoman Hartzler had to campaign and earn the votes to keep her job.

That changes now.

I’m Lindsey Simmons, and I’m on a new mission. To be the first active duty military spouse in Congress.

And get this – the day after I announced‚ her office called to apologize for not getting back to me.

You shouldn’t have to run for Congress to hear from your Congressman. Based on their actions over the past month, if President Trump and Congresswoman Hartzler wore the uniform, they’d be court-martialed.

Reporter: 1,000 US troops are caught in the middle, looking for the safest way out.

Lindsey Simmons: I’m not the only wife whose husband’s third deployment is made less safe by reckless foreign policy. I’m not the only mother whose watched schools on our military base lose funding to build a wall.

I’m not the only daughter whose mother hesitates to retire, because of the cost of health care.

And I’m not the only member of a farming family that’s collateral damage in a trade war.

And I have had enough. I’m answering a call to serve because our families deserve better. It’s time to take our home back. And this is a mission we must complete.

An analogy, from somewhere on the Internets: If your neighbor calls you and tells you it snowed overnight, that’s hearsay. If you look out the window and see the snow, that’s circumstantial. If you were up all night and watched it snow, that’s first hand.

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

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
SONDLAND: “President Trump never told me directly that the aid was conditioned on the meeting.”

This is another day of House leadership trying to create a case around hearsay and personal perspectives on second- and third-hand information.
9:57 AM · Nov 20, 2019

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Vicky, talk to Guiliani.

Can always count on Vicky to parrot her male handlers’ talking points, right on cue ..

Are you high? As a former schoolteacher, I hope you know the definition of “everyone.” If not, you should brush up because it’s gonna be on a lot of newspapers this evening.

Did you listen yesterday, when Lt. Col. Vindman offered firsthand information? Or elsewhere this morning when Sondland explained that *everyone* understood they were acting under Trump’s orders that aid would be conditional. Shame on you.

Vicky is going down with the corrupt ship.
#PutinsPuppets

Sondland said that he worked at the “express direction of the president of the United States.”

You clearly aren’t watching the same testimony I am…or you have your head in the sand & will go down with a sinking ship. You may be my elected Rep, but you DO NOT represent me!

“Was there a quid pro quo?”
“Yes.”
Quit lying to the American people Vicki.

Quit misleading your constituents.

Since you don’t meet your constituents face to face, I hope you’re at least reading the responses here.

Heh.

Are we watching the same hearing?

Evidently not.

Trump admitted it in the call transcript.

You should stick to being the congresswomen representing the defense industry. You’re not a very good spin toady.

Still carrying water but it’s gotta be getting harder every day

But yet he was saying that was what he clearly wanted.

You should ask Trump, Pence, Pompeo, or Barr to testify their first hand perspectives

This is for sure, Donald Trump does not love Gordon Sondland’s ass right now.

We see what you did there.

He said trump DIRECTED him

Hanging by a thread defense, Vicky. Where there’s tons of smoke, there’s fire. Trump and Mulvaney even admitted it themselves. Get your head out of the sand

Listening the impeachment inquiry, & each Repub was like a dog with a bone, gnawing away in a frenzy. When time’s up, they sit back with a satisfied smile. It’s only when you take a closer look that you realize none had an actual bone. They were gnawing away on hot air.

LMAO!!!! It’s not enough that the @GOP wants to be as corrupt as hell, now they are determined to make everyone believe they are too dumb to understand what is going on as well!

After he got caught lol

You are really bad at this. Try sitting this out. Don’t you have govt checks to cash, or because of the large amounts, wire transfer, Hartzler? Here is the deal, testimony is straight forward, there was to be money paid for something.

Are you watching the damn hearing? Sondland followed the direct orders of TRUMP. Pompeo, VP Pense, so on and so on knew it!

“THERE WAS QUID PRO QUO” Gordon Sondland

Anyone giving you likes on these stupid, lying tweets will at some point kick their own asses for doing it.

Reaching now, aren’t you?

Your attempt to gaslight your constituents is shameful. Your decision to support trump over upholding your oath to the constitution disqualifies you to serve in Congress.

Not sure you get how this all works, maybe you’re a bit over your skis on this one?

Snow!

You will be held accountable for continuing to lie to your constituents. The president committed crimes and has been trying to cover it all up and everyone knows it, including you.

Sondland specifically said there was a quid pro quo. He also specifically stated that he was under direct order from the president. Did you miss that part or are you just that stupid?

How embarrassing for you.

Your lie and you’re sticking to it?
How about you STOP being the PARTISAN HACK you are and protect the people that voted for you! #BriberyTrump #TrumpBribery #ExtortionistTrump

Then how about you corrupt sycophants pave the way for those with first hand knowledge to testify. No? Why not??????? Sit down.

HE SAID THERE WAS A QUID PRO QUO! You idiot!

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

We all know snow and how it got there when we see it.

Donald Trump (r) and his sycophants are not having a particularly good day.

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

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Witnesses should’ve had to actually… witness something.

This entire #ImpeachmentHearing has showcased hearsay, giving perspectives on second- and third-hand info.

Our diplomats are the most formidable in the world and they are being used by House Democrats to spur gossip.
10:14 AM · Nov 15, 2019

There was much hilarity in the responses:

It is good to know you want Mulvany, Pompeo, Guiliani, Pence, and Trump to testify. Are you going to put that into a resolution?

You weren’t listening. She witnessed a pattern of lies and corruption from @realDonaldTrump that led up to the actual act of #bribery. That’s how this works. Also, we’d really love to hear from @RudyGiuliani, @SecPompeo, and John Bolton.

Tell @WhiteHouse to stop blocking first hand testimony. That will fix it, right? What a hypocrisy and betrayal of our nation.

This is a great trick —refuse to let anyone close to the president testify and then complain none of the witnesses testifying are close enough.

So you agree that we need to bring in Pompey, Mulvaney, and anyone else on the trump staff to confirm or deny current testimony?

It DISGUSTS me that you represent Missouri

She was removed from her position and threatened by the President. She has first hand knowledge of that corruption.

All roads lead to Russia – still waiting for those tax returns…

She witnessed private citizen, non-Govt Official Giuliani back channel that was IGNORING the actual Diplomats that are supposed to be handling foreign policy, and running it himself.

can’t have it both ways, sugarplum

your tribe CREATED the unavailability of first hand witnesses!

Missouri deserves better than your fealty to a crime family

so you’ll be pushing for Mulvaney, Bolton, Guiliani and others to come before Congress and testify, right?

So send up Pompeo, Mulvaney, and Giuliani

Tell The White House to let the actual witnesses testify then. I can’t believe you’re all trying to do this for a guy who couldn’t give two shits about you or this country

There’s a new talking point for R’s. Didn’t you get the memo?

Well, then, if everything was so perfect, why doesn’t the WH and the State Department release every document related to this incident? Why is it hidden on a server? Why has every document request been blocked, if there’s nothing wrong? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? #transparency

The President won’t testify and he won’t allow the first hand participants testify. You can’t have it both ways!

Vicky, who do you think is preventing all the first hand witness testimony? Seems like a pretty bad argument.

I spy a representative who has not been paying attention.

Or, if you prefer, willfully dense.

Weak defense, but maybe supporting treason will play well in Missouri.

Ambassador Yovanovitch was smeared on the phone call, by Donald Trump.

Before removal from her position, she was smeared by Donald Trump, using the lies from the corrupt prosecutor.

On the phone call, Trump PRAISED Ukraine’s corrupt prosecutor.

Yes, she’s an important witness.

Our diplomats, who serve their country no matter who is president, have been used by Trump and Giuliani (when was his election? Confirmation?) to chase conspiracy theories. As I would expect, they’re too good to do Trump’s dirty work.

You see how Trump treated a formidable diplomat? He intimidated her while she was on the witness stand – witness tampering in real time for all to see. You must be so proud.

Corroboration of firsthand accounts from Sondland. You’re either gaslighting or an idiot. Chose a lane.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Our diplomats are being used as pawns by a corrupt president, instead of receiving the support they deserve from congress. Wake up.

Will you ever put your country first? Or nah?

You sure do love tweeting instead of replying to your constituents’ emails.

Putin lover

Well, it could just be that she thinks he’s misunderstood.

Take your crocodile tears somewhere else. Just because your supporters are stupid, doesnt make what you say profound.

Ouch.

Keep in mind I have not seen @RepHartzler stand up to the president when he calls Americans human scum for disagreeing with him, have you?

Is this a leader who has the courage to stand up for Missourians? Does she have the courage to protect the Constitution?

This is the BS republicans spew when they are desperate.

This shows that either you weren’t listening or you have no integrity. You are Trump’s cover up ‘tool’ and we know that.

Wow! Another devastating day for the Trump crime family.
Trump is very clearly a corrupt, self-serving liar, cornered now by the facts.

Oh my god Vicky are you that stupid?

Uh, Vladimir Putin was a KGB agent in the Soviet Union.

He wants to take over the territory, resources, and people of Ukraine.

Ukraine is in a shooting war with Russia, which is lead by Vladimir Putin.

American economic and military support is essential to the survival of Ukraine.

Donald Trump withheld appropriated military support from Ukraine in order to extort the manufacture of political dirt from Ukraine directed at one of Donald Trump’s American political rivals.

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

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

Late this morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Nine weeks of this tainted, Soviet-style show trial and we’ve seen that @SpeakerPelosi and @RepAdamSchiff are more interested in impeaching @realDonaldTrump at all costs than working on the pressing issues that face our country today.

Let’s get back to doing the people’s work.
[….]
11:04 AM · Nov 14, 2019

There was much hilarity in the responses:

“Soviet-style show trial” doesn’t mean what you think it means. When were they ever publicized with the accused being able to question witnesses. You don’t refute these facts: Trump set up a back channel to Ukraine to get dirt on an opponent and extorted Ukraine to get the dirt

How many weeks of Benghazi hearings were there?

the sham is the republicans refusing to even listen to the testimony of non partisan ambassadors who are speaking plainly about the president’s bungled attempts to extort anther country for personal gain

Trump is free to testify under oath and clear it all up.

Vicky, Vicky, Vicky. Or whoever writes your Tweets. History will judge you harshly. This extraordinary refusal to see any fault in the supreme leader is not American in any way.

Funny. Says the Republican whose party has cozied up to the Russians.

Oh you like your candidates to sell us out to Russia, got it!!!

Who did you swear an oath to when taking your job? The people and our country or a habitual liar and white nationalist? Your party will be judged harshly for your inability to step away from your party and have some common sense.

Did you watch and listen? If you did, you wouldn’t have made such a red scare tweet. Stop being stoopid Vicky. Geez

Hard to believe this comes from someone supporting “soviet style” attempts to impede a democratic process; how else to describe the thugs break in to a secure facility. The soviet style has continued with suppression of witnesses, hiding of evidence and propaganda spewing.

Go to Hell you traitor.
