Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 27, 2026]

Let’s be clear: In America, we welcome LEGAL immigrants who strengthen our nation. What we don’t welcome is chaos, lawlessness, and politicians shielding criminal illegal aliens.

Minnesota is an example of failed leadership and open-border policies. The American people voted for enforcement, not anarchy.
[….]

Some of the responses:

This is racism at its worst! 2000 FE 26 and we’re still dealing with this BS! If any of these politicians had any balls they would be up there on the hill screaming and yelling!!! Crickets…..

This is not who we are. Im disappointed you are not one of us.

Those ICE agents are harassing people purely based on skin color and accents – it’s not about criminals.
People do support deporting violent criminals.. we don’t support the way immigration is currently being approached. Stop the chaos and the violence from ICE agents.
Do you know how to be honest ever?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

apparently he does not, sold his soul.

we need to make a concerted effort to remove and replace the liars. So tired of the gaslighting and propaganda. They are destroying our country.

Congressman Mark Alford your Pinocchio nose grows with each new pandering post your consultants who run your social media accounts post in your name.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has repeatedly pointed out that his city has one of the lowest immigrant populations that lack all of the required documentation to be granted residency. I recall the number to be less than 2% of the immigrant population.
You are just parroting Talking points, but seem to be a little behind. Trump is reducing ICE agents out of Minnesota after the state sponsored murder of 2 US citizens.
#ResistFascism
#ImpeachNoem
A round of applause for the citizens of Minneapolis! True patriots and an inspiration to all democracy loving Americans.

Do you endorse when ICE agents clap with enthusiasm after gunning down someone in the street?

another one said, “it’s like call of duty. Pretty cool, huh?”

Yet anarchy is what this administration has given us!! We know what we see with our own eyes!!

If we supposedly welcome legal immigrants, why is ICE showing up at courthouses across the country to arrest immigrants going through the legal process?

Good question.

So why is Ice grabbing people outside of court houses who are there for immigration hearings? Aren’t they trying to do it the right way?

Then why are people being arrested and deported from their immigration hearings?

Did you see the video of ICE murdering the VA nurse in the middle of the street? Are you good with that? How about when everyone in the administration lied about it? Good with that? Seems pretty dangerous Mark. That’s two US citizens murdered and no investigation so far.

No you don’t, and no it isn’t!

No Democratic politician nor state has EVER promoted or legislated having open borders.

When do we invade Texas and open investigations into their Governor?

If you welcome legal immigrants than why are your Nazi goons arresting those here legally, like the 5 year old boy in the bunny hat. His parents entered legally at a port of entry and have a legal asylum case on going?

I think protecting US citizens from being murdered by the government should be top priority.

Then why is ICE terrorizing & detaining legal immigrants???

And how many criminals & fraudsters has Trump pardoned ?? Congressman Mark Alford. Sit down – your fascism is showing!!!

You know Mark it’s so funny how previous administrations have been able to deport hundreds of thousands of people who were here illegally without shooting Americans. without tear-gassing people .what are you going to do when ICE brings their Stormtroopers to Kansas City? I’m all about legal immigration I think it’s a great plan I think we need to make it easier for people to come to this country our current system is completely broken but having a bunch of armed thugs shooting people is insanity

What you welcome is an organization whose specific function is to intimidate and terrorize neighborhoods. No one is protesting immigration laws. They are protesting against your American Gestapo. They are protesting because you are a Nazi and if you don’t want to be called a Nazi, I suggest you stop acting like one.
Get out your waders, folks. The bullshit’s getting deep here!

In America we also expect those involved in upholding the law to actually follow the law. From the top of the DOJ down to any agents in the field. Sadly, they are all letting us down. And, if you support this you are to blame.

Congressman Mark Alford saying people voted for federal agents to murder people?

This isn’t law enforcement. It never was. Neither is it about immigration. If it were about immigration, then ICE would be focused on Texas and Florida. Rather, this about a government agency creating chaos to distract from other issues like the Epstein files, the economy, Ukraine, etc. I am saddened that you can’t see that. You’ve lost my vote.

Wow.
This invasion of Minnesota by 3000 ICE AGENTS has nothing to do with immigration. This is an intimidation tactic.
Ask why there aren’t 3000 immigration agents in TEXAS…A state with nearly 2 million undocumented residents.

Fix the long wait times and stop arresting those that finally get hearings! Quit firing immigration judges and staff! It takes forever just to get a green card, and costs way too much!

Either you’re naive, stupid, or amoral because y’all have been going after immigrants who followed the rules. Oh and DHS did execute 2 US citizens. And you speak like this.

All three.

Congressman Mark Alford this is not what people voted for. I didn’t vote for racism/racial profiling and I didn’t vote for American citizens and green card holders to be abused and killed by the federal government. Every other President from W Bush to now has been able to use ICE to deport people without this violence and flagrant abuse of power.

“What we don’t welcome is chaos, lawlessness, and politicians shielding criminal illegal aliens.” Yet, you support Donald Trump? Makes no sense.

Do we? Cause we are arresting them at their hearings. you’re lying to our faces. How do you sleep at night?

Chaos by the Republicans you mean.

Mr. Alford, I will not forget your town hall message to your constituents, who had just lost their federal jobs, that “god has a plan for you.” Extremely crass and insensitive from people who are paying your salary. Saying this, from your privileged position, is such a pompous, nasty thing to say. Despicable. Now I read in the KC Star that you are supporting a concentration camp in Missouri. What are you thinking? Please resign.

How many of the immigrants that have been dragged from their cars, their jobs, their homes have been going through all the legal steps that are required to become citizens? It is amazing to me that you think we are so stupid that we don’t know what you and MAGA are doing. This is not about immigration. It’s about elimination of people of color. It’s racist and it’s wrong.

Hey Alford, how about explaining the steps for immigrants to become citizens like we’re kindergarteners.
PS: We know you don’t know.

Damn did you just shit yourself? I can smell it from my house. Way too much shit coming out of you.

I laughed my butt off at you last night when you said your people came from England “the right way.”
In other words, Einstein, they showed up and didn’t have TB?

Let’s be clear, ICE is causing the anarchy in MN and laughing about it!

ummm that’s a lie and you know it. legal immigrants are being arrested and deported daily.

Why do we not see ICE going after the EMPLOYERS of the illegal immigrants?

So you support masked murdering thugs. Good to know congressman.

What we didn’t vote for was allowing former playground bullies to be armed and turned loose on public streets to terrify and murder our citizens. I suggest you go back to your old job because you really suck at your current one!

The presence of ice goons is far for more dangerous than any immigrants. Ice goons are shooting and murdering HUMAN BEINGS. And you are evil, nasty, un-American creature soaking it all up and rolling around in it.

“Abolish ICE, America’s Gestapo”

Stop killing people and acting like thugs. If agents knew how to conduct themselves without being violent and, shockingly, actually followed the law, maybe things would be different.

If only Mark would see these comments! He doesn’t care.

Do us all a favor and just quit

I didn’t vote for this.

Do you ever stop spewing bull💩?

WTF is wrong with you. ICE is arresting LEGAL immigrants everyday. They have legal status and yet they are locking them up. They are snatching them from court proceedings that are facilitating the process. They are doing what WE TOLD THEM TO DO. They are doing things the right way and ICE agents are laying in wait. The gaslighting is extreme.

Y’all are snatching people up at the courthouse while they’re they’re for their immigration appointments. Please stop acting like we’re idiots. It’s insulting.

I think you are extremely confused.

It is my opinion that ICE personnel are armed…with ample ammunition…they intimidate citizens, attack in groups and assault and kill innocent citizens. I think that is domestic terrorism…plain and simple. Sending thousands of armed troops into SELECT American cities IS NOT acceptable to anyone with a brain and heart. It’s not America.

It is now.

Then why are citizenship ceremonies being postponed and cancelled? Why are green cards and student visas being revoked for no cause?…

Give me a break! This is the CHAOS administration. Every day, chaos. Every day. And that’s from the top!

Where oh where did you leave your conscience?

You are really a CLOWN

MN is an example of a government murdering its own citizens when they choose to protest.

In America, we also don’t welcome a poorly trained, overagressive, paramilitary, armed goon squad that answers only to the president operating with “absolute immunity” gunning down US citizens.

Legal immigrants.
Except for the legal Somali immigrants. Except for the immigrants from South America. Except for those from Mexico. Except for any brown immigrants.
But yes to white South Africans!

We didn’t vote for murder

Really? Remember when ICE forced their way into his home? He’s been an American citizen for decades, who asked his daughter to get his identification. ICE officers refused it, while his 4 year old grandson cried. An elderly man, taken in his underwear, while his neighbors cried.
You brought this chaos, Mark Alford .
Thankfully he’s back home, but ICE terrorized this man, his family, and neighbors.

“If only the government cared about the right ICE”

An ICE warning:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 23, 2026]

⚠️Hey MO-04, a major winter storm is expected to move across much of the country starting today, followed by dangerous extreme cold next week.
Heavy snow, ice, power outages, and hazardous travel are possible. Please prepare now:
✔️ Avoid unnecessary travel [….]
✔️ Charge devices & prep emergency kits [….]
✔️ Check on neighbors & seniors [….]
✔️ Monitor local weather updates
Stay safe, stay warm, and look out for one another. [….]❄️

Some of the responses:

Volunteer at a warming shelter for the unhoused.
Ignore that BS about needing an ID. If your human and your cold come on in. Grab something hot to eat and a cot to sleep on.

You forgot eat well: One chicken leg….a piece of broccoli…a taco shell and ?? (something).

for the low price of $3 😂

Yes! We must protect one another from ICE! 🥰

Is ted Cruz going to cancun during this storm as well

Time to sharpen our ice picks, scrapers and fire up the flame thrower. Practice melting ice.

Explain how closing FEMA will help the recovery efforts.

Thank you. You have finally told the truth. Now mobilize the resources to protect the lives of your constituents.

It’s so reassuring to know that if needed, 1000 FEMA first responders have or will be fired this month by the Trump administration. Thanks Mark!

Well, since Trump decimated the national weather service it’s a good thing you stepped up and told us

🙄 seriously? we didn’t know 😵‍💫

You are SO confused about what your job is. You seem to think you are a pastor on Sundays, you thought you were a local travel advisor while you refused to show up in legislative session, you keep forgetting you are no longer a TV anchor the way you run and stand before any camera with a red light and now you think you are a meteorologist. Or are you just auditioning for your post-congressional job? Good to know that you realize you’re going to need one.
[….]

Yep Fu*k ICE

“Fuck Ice”

Really? Thanks for the heads up, douchebag.

You are on the wrong side Mark

From news presenter to U.S “Representative” to want-to-be preacher to now weatherman? Just retire already.

Are the chem-trails causing this, Mark? QAnon says so. ✈️🛩️

“Beware of Fascist Snow Flakes”

What color is the sky in Mark Alford’s (r) world?

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Clap louder.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 20, 2026]

One year in — and America is back. [….]
Secure borders. Safer communities. Lower costs. Stronger paychecks.
Manufacturing is growing, energy is booming, and Missouri families are getting real relief.
From our farms and factory floors to Whiteman AFB and Fort Leonard Wood, the Fourth District is seeing results.
[….]

Some of the responses:

This is satire, right? RIGHT?!

no. He’s a Josh Hawley wannabe.

Where is he living? Not Missouri. None of that sounds familiar.

Mark Alford Can you tell me if there are any plans to change the allocation of congressional seats based on US citizens only? It seems to me it would change immigration and sanctuary cities policies immediately. There would be no advantage to having non-citizens in your district? It seems so simple on the surface.

But morons would remain, so there’s that.

Congressman Mark Alford what is this relief you are talking about? I’m Paying more for almost everything. Meanwhile we are on the verge of possibly two wars and a president who has no checks or balances. DO YOUR JOB!

And the moon IS made of cheese!

AmeriKKKa!!

Words and reality are different.

You do excellent fan fiction.

Lots of rhetoric, no numbers. As our math teachers used to say, “show your work”

How’s that kool-aid?

People can say anything but it certainly not make it true!!! Word Salad

Literally none of these things is true.

Well hello puppet

Even Dr Seuss knew what the slogan “America First” actually meant…
[….]

lol country is on fire and on the brink of civil war, other countries having serious conversations about an escalation with trump over wanting to invade Greenland. Inflation still prevalent and innocent Americans are getting harassed, detained and even murdered. Yea he’s doing great.

Its back alright. Back to the chaos and inept leadership of the first term. Back to having a pedophile attempting to run the country. Back to the grift of the billionaire welfare queens. Back to the feckless Republican congress checking their balls at the coat room so a whiney little unqualified man can be the center of attention on a world stage. Back to top donors and C-list celebrities making up the cabinet who are as inept as Trump. Back to running the country into the ditch just like he did when he left after his first term. Back to the constant lying and complete lack of integrity by him, and, by people who are constantly simping for him. So, yeah, you are right. America is back.

Safer communities if you dont have an accent. Lower costs unless youre trying to buy anything except for gasoline. Stronger paychecks but the dollar is down 10%. Manufacturing is booming but we had a net loss of Manufacturing jobs in 2025. Energy is booming but utility bills are increasing at their highest pace ever

What planet do you live on?

Back to what? Imperialism?

Haha…funny satire site.

What planet is this guy living on. lol. Come hang with me for a day. See the real America.

If I asked your constituents, would they agree? I’m guessing no.

What costs are lower? You have an altered sense of reality

Hi soul-seller, how are things in quisling-ville?

Can you hear yourself talk? Check today’s stock market.

There’s that.

Lower costs? What are you smokin?

Yes Sir I am seeing the damn results!
My health insurance monthly premiums have more than doubled almost tripled. You need to look for a new job because you are bad at this one!!!

You are such a sycophant.

only in your own little mind and trumps mind. You can not say with a straight face things are better. Your President has caused more harm than good. People are having to decided to buy medicine or grocery, and what bill to pay. Things have not turned around, things are not better. You take big corp money, you do not listen to your constituents want, you’re on your own agenda. NO ONE Believes you!!

Grow a set you coward.

The koolaid must be delicious mark. If ice is around no one feels safe. My wages havent gone up nor am I bringing more groceries home for less money. my health ins prem, thru my work has gone up. We are looking at potentially WW3, while Trump spouts off about removing a drug dealing dictator then pardoning convicted drug dealers if they pay him. Then of course the Trumpstein files…. Whenever Bondi & Blanches goons complete the redactions🤔
Yeah Mark murica is great 😫

What a crock! Does he think we are idiots?! Delusional!

Back to what? We are a divided country that is ready for a civil war amongst ourselves. How much more can this country take? You are part of the problem Mark. Do your job Mark and impeach little Donnie before it gets worse

You can’t possibly believe the nonsense that you’re speaking. 🙄

Are you literally nuts??? The president is!! 25th amendment!! NOW!!! Grow a spine!!!

You sir, are not an honorable man.

You support a pathological liar who is in a state of obvious cognitive decline. His presser today was unhinged and deranged, a real shitshow, kind of like the Legislative Branch who seems to have no spine or principals. He is surrounded by sycophants who have lost their moral clarity running roughshod over the Constitution. Enact Amendment 25 and release the EPSTEIN files now.

Relief?! You morons have practically set the world on fire! Nothing feels safe. Unbelievable

How much is Putin paying you?

Pure propaganda. Nothing but tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and weaponizing a law enforcement group to terrorize citizens made up of pardoned convicts who hate our democracy. You and Sam Graves are pathetic. Planning on attending any upcoming ribbon cutting ceremonies at projects paid for by Biden’s infrastructure bill that you voted against claiming to now be a supporter of?

The fearless leader is stark raving mad and you should know it.

Imagine being this out of touch with reality

How can you POSSIBLY believe this?

You fool.

What a dumbass

Do your results include the “Board of thieves”? A bunch of pariah countries paying a billion dollars to trump. What’s your cut?

Congressman Mark Alford, your post could be entitled “Mark’s Favorite Fairytales.”
Wall Street has been steadily closing low since Trump announced his intention to buy or take by force Greenland a NATO ally coupled with his threats of additional tariffs.
Renee Nicole Good is dead. She was shot by an ICE agent in the head, arm, and twice in the chest as she attempted to leave on their orders.
ICE continues to breakdown the doors of homes with no judicial warrant and make arrests with no judicial warrant.
The Minnesota elected officials who want ICE which is less law enforcement and more paramilitary out of Minnesota are being subpoenaed and investigated but the ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good is not being investigated.
While the price of gas is down the prices of all other products are higher. Prices overall have gone up by 2.7%. Most of this is linked to Trump’s tariffs.
The unemployment rate is over 4% which is the highest in four years. This is due to businesses unwilling to expand and hire more workers based on the uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariffs.
We are indeed seeing “results” but not good results.
Don’t you ever get tired of holding Trump’s coat?

You are delusional.

You are a goddamn fucking liar.

I think I will work to become a politician. It’s too hard to make money in the private sector of this country. Then just as the rest I will look down on the people from my crystal palace and make them promises I never intend to keep. Oh wait I cannot do that because I care about the American people, sure wish all these self absorbed crooks in government weren’t there screwing us!

Mark, what can congress do to prevent the Chinese exploiting birth right citizenship? They are planting here to give birth, sending the child back to China for CCP upbringing and they come back to the US, to vote and eventually take over.
The war within.

Should not have sharp objects on their person nor dispense their own medication…

Farmers are going broke, he gave Argentina 40 billion dollars so they could undercut the American farmers and sell their grain to China, he put in an agriculture secretary who doesn’t know a corn cob from a hogs ass, now he wants to give the farmers 11 billion dollars as a bail out, but guys like you and every Republican in congress are going to kiss his ass because you have no spine

Funny. Having those masked kidnappers in the streets shooting innocent people, attacking pregnant women and even kidnapping US citizens does not make me feel safe in the least bit. I dont think us Americans signed up to be profiled because of the color of our skin. I know I sure as hell didn’t. And I also know I didnt vote to have a pedophile run this country. But yeah. You keep saying that this country is safer. You are just as delusional as #TemuHitler in D.C is😒

Congressman Mark Alford, put simply, You are an Asshole!

Gestapo in our streets murdering citizens, including infants. The cost of living is going higher every day. We still don’t have $2.00 a gallon gas. But we do have ground beef costing $9.00 a pound. American troops have attacked a sovereign nation and kidnapped their president. Don’t tell us it’s about the drugs. The administration hasn’t cared about the Venezuela drugs now that they have the oil. All this because Trump doesn’t want anyone seeing the Epstein files.

Are you even human? Do you have an original thought?

You do believe this crap you post?

How about you quit lying to us and gaslighting us? America is not back! We are NOT safer! What is wrong with you? Oh yeah, you’re not very smart, are you? But you know what crap is going on in DC, don’t you. YOU KNOW!

How stupid are you?

This entire message is one big lie.

Manufacturing jobs in Missouri are down in 2025. This economy is not roaring anywhere but down the drain.

What America are you living in!?!

Are you kidding me. Do you really think the American people are stupid?

This is garbage

Take a look at our country, its pure chaos, & it’s spreading all over the world! This is todays E-Mail message from taco to all the maga republicans, so they post the same message claiming we are doing great! More brainwashing for the cult.

Donald Trump belongs in an insane asylum. These are not the words of a man with a properly functioning brain. These are snippets of half-remembered memories being filtered through a slowly dying mind.
Recall the breathless, wall-to-wall coverage that the mainstream media ran on Joe Biden’s cognitive state. Now we have a president yammering on about God knows what, visibly confused, while threatening to invade Greenland as his masked goons murder innocent Americans in the street and there’s hardly a peep. Enough is enough. It’s time that this lunatic was removed from power and shipped off to a facility to rot in peace.

You forgot you hood you worthless bigot

To 1940’s Germany? You’re a garbage human Mark.

Not believing a word.

America is back where? Into another World War? Back to having the KKK in the streets?

And YOU? You haven’t done shit! Healthcare? Unaffordable! Housing? Unaffordable! Electricity? Unaffordable! streets? Unsafe! Quit spinning and do your job!

What planet are you from? I can’t afford health care and feed my family and all Trump can think about is Greenland

Not safer communities and not lower costs. You are delusional 🤦‍♀️

What a joke! Guess you don’t buy groceries?

Your idol is a deranged racist maniacal lunatic

Bullshit and lies. Do people actually believe this shit?? Surely they’re not this dumb…… oh wait 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they are this dumb.

You know we have eyes and bank accounts right ?
The things you are saying are verifiably false.

Stronger paychecks? You must be talking about the 1.4 BILLION Trump has made since he took office. As long as your Fuhrer is making money, it’s all good for the bottom 90% to go broke.

How do you lie with such a straight face?

4th Congressional District, holiday, Mark Alford, Martin Luther King, MLK, right wingnut, social media, sycophant, Trump sycophant

“….You don’t get to quote the man while blocking the work. You don’t get to praise his courage while punishing today’s organizers for having the same spine. You don’t get to talk about dreams while voting against the scaffolding required to build them….”

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 19, 2026]

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a leader whose vision of justice inspires us all.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Here’s the truth nobody wants to say out loud: if Dr. King were alive, most of those politicians would be scared of him. Not honoring him. Avoiding his calls. Asking aides to “manage the optics.” Calling him “divisive” behind closed doors. Telling him “now’s not the right time.”
They don’t post Letter from Birmingham Jail because it’s inconvenient. They don’t post his critiques of moderates because it hits too close to home. They don’t post his anti-capitalist, anti-war sermons because donors exist. So instead we get the diet version. King Lite. Justice-flavored LaCroix.
Safe MLK posts are how power congratulates itself for surviving another year without changing.
And look, remembrance isn’t the problem. Hypocrisy is. You don’t get to quote the man while blocking the work. You don’t get to praise his courage while punishing today’s organizers for having the same spine. You don’t get to talk about dreams while voting against the scaffolding required to build them.
Dr. King wasn’t a mascot. He was a threat. To systems. To comfort. To “go slow” politics. To people who wanted applause without redistribution.
So yeah. If I see one more politician post a sanitized quote while maintaining policies he would have marched against, I’m not inspired. I’m informed.
Build anyway. But don’t let them rewrite the man while they stall the movement.

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman.” – Martin Luther King

You should practice what you preach.

Actions speak louder than platitudes

Maybe you should be made aware of this from the president of the United States:
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Way to repost because you posted it yesterday hahaha

One could observe many things about Trump’s letter to Norway.
One is the childish grammar, including the strange capitalizations (“Complete and Total Control”).
Another is the loose grasp of history. Donald Trump did not end eight wars. Greenland has been Danish territory for centuries. Its residents are Danish citizens who vote in Danish elections. There are many “written documents” establishing Danish sovereignty in Greenland, including some signed by the United States. In his second term, Trump has done nothing for NATO—an organization that the U.S. created and theoretically leads, and that has only ever been used in defense of American interests. If the European members of NATO have begun spending more on their own defense (budgets to which the U.S. never contributed), that’s because of the threat they feel from Russia.
Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message: Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize.

Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t argue against the American government; he argued that it should fulfill its constitutional promise. In turn, they killed him.
​Once the judicial system and Congress failed in regards to Martin Luther King Jr.’s murder, the family took it to civil court.
There, the ruling found that the government did indeed conspire in murdering MLK Jr. and played a hand in his death. This is a fact—one not known to many.
​As we celebrate Martin Luther King as an example of the constitutional civic citizen and his duty of affirmative action toward liberty and justice for all, I want to take time to remember that the government killed him too, and no justice was ever rendered. Now, we celebrate a holiday put in place by the same government that killed him.
​It makes you think about how Jesus was murdered by state-driven oppression, and then the state turned it around to be justified—absolving you of your sins if you threw a stone, essentially saying, We did it so you can be forgiven.
​Much like today, they are saying, We’re taking this state-oppressive action so all people can be free inside the United States, while claiming that violating rights is acceptable because the Constitution doesn’t give rights to non-citizens, and it doesn’t say we can’t take what isn’t ours by invading countries.
​WHAT!? WHAT!??? Are we insane??

“Know that half the politicians praising MLK today would’ve called him a violent, radical Marxist while he was alive.”
Your words are hollow, as you are definitely one of those politicians.

Oh Congressman Mark Alford bless your heart. You’re for everything Dr. King fought so hard against.
Posting this for engagement makes you the worst.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. (MLK)
It’s time for you to stand up for truth, justice, honor, decency, and democracy. It’s time to quit bowing to an egomaniacal and autocratic leader.

My favorite thing about MLK Day are the conservative politicians who try to claim him while doing the opposite of what he said. Just like they do Jesus.

What would MLK think about ICE judging people on their skin color?
[….]

What if trump is a test by God to see how far down the devil’s path we will actually go?

The current president of the United States of America just told the world that he’s going to invade another country because he wasn’t given a Nobel peace prize. What insanity!!!

What an brilliant move by France and Ukraine, providing the Trump regime false classified intelligence just to see if it would be provided to Putin.
Trump sent it Putin straight away.
No further intelligence will be provided to the US for the foreseeable future by any European nation.

Keep his name out of your filthy mouth

If he was alive you’d be calling him a paid agitator and calling for his arrest.

Keep this Man’s name out of your nasty mouth little boy!!

Where is the honor in gerrymandering? where is the honor in voter suppression? Yet, you honor his words? A contrarian approach is what this is. as mush as you may promote Dr. Kings words, your actions tell a different story. The people elected you to represent them in a fair and concise way. Yet you choose to honor a Tyrant…Now that’s crazy

You cannot repeat the words of MLK & support MAGA. That is literally spitting in MLK’s face. He would absolutely be disgusted with this behavior. Especially supporting the decision of opening up more 🧊 detention centers. I hope you posted this to be satire and you aren’t actually serious.

Congressman Mark Alford, you support the actions of Trump and ICE which has resulted in violations of Constitutional rights and the murder of Nicole Renee Good a citizen which is the the ultimate violation of an individual’s civil rights and yet you share a post in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King.
I thought your posting of Bible verses in light of your support of Trump and the brutality of ICE was a an appalling example of your hypocrisy until you shared this post honoring Dr. King.

This post is laughable from you.

You want to build a concentration camp in your district so take a seat

You would have hated MLK if he were alive today.

Performative BS

The audacity one must have to post about MLK Jr. while supporting Trump, his administration and ICE is absolutely astounding.

Take this shit down. You support an ICE detention center last week and then post this. How stupid are you.

You support Dump and his unconstitutional Gestapo ICE. You can’t have it both ways.

Meanwhile, you support ICE detention centers for your district. You hypocrite. WWJD? WWMLK do?

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE. You lost the privilege to even mention MLK when you idolized that piece of shit that was killed in Sept., “Let Charlie Kirk’s legacy ignite a flame of renewal in all of us. Turn to God. Reject the darkness.
Heal our land, for in healing America, we honor him and all victims of political violence.” Your words. The same one that uttered these words, “MLK [Martin Luther King Jr.] was awful. He’s not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn’t believe.”
~Charlie Kirk Jan 2024~
GO AWAY LITTLE MAN!!!

He says….while courting a racist detention center. Not a good look Mark!

Who’s going to check, Mark (r)? You?

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 13, 2026]

🚨THE MEDIA WON’T SHOW YOU THIS — but we will.
Outside SCOTUS today, we spoke with Democrats who agree: men do NOT belong in women’s sports or locker rooms. Their voices are being SILENCED by the radical left.
👉 Take this as your sign to PROTECT WOMEN’S SPORTS.
[….]

Asshole.

Some of the responses:

As a policy matter, that is another reason why the government shouldn’t be regulating this stuff, and we should leave it to medical professionals and sports leagues themselves to make the rules about what treatment should be allowed and which people should be allowed to play in which leagues.

Don’t you have a budget to work on?

Children’s Mercy Hospital in KC did a study for the Air Force that shows there is very little difference in women and trans women after they have completed hormone therapy.

facts are like kryptonite to republicans.

All 10 of them nationwide?

This is of primary importance right now?
It’s like worrying about dust on your knickknacks while the house is burning down.

Focusing on the important stuff, ehh? lol

This isn’t the flex you think it is. Why don’t you focus on something besides hate and bigotry.

The 10’s of lives that will be impacted…

The thing is… THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER ISSUES

Most of us are worried about healthcare and affordability, not those 12 guys you’re making a big deal about.

This week I’m much more concerned about women not being shot in the face after dropping their child at school. We’re okay in locker rooms, thanks!

It is crazy that this is even an issue! No.

This issue affects a few hundred people nationwide. Way to stay laser focused on the pressing issues that NOBODY FUCKING CARES ABOUT except you and your low IQ bigoted asshole constituents.

How many men in total are playing in women’s sports? Niche culture war crap is how you stay in office I suppose.

This is some low hanging fruit BS to get dipshits riled up. Instead of getting mad about stupid identity politics, they should get pissed off at how the rich are getting richer off our backs as well as the contempt for the people this government has for us!

This is what y’all are worried about while the federal government is starting new wars, tearing apart the world order, and gunning down American citizens…
Unbelievable

We have bigger problems idiot

I wish you would concentrate more on improving the economy and affordable healthcare rather than somebody that had a penis but doesn’t anymore. If you think a guy has his penis cut off to play sports as a different gender, you’re focusing on the wrong things. Just stop thinking about guys that once had penises.

This is what you’re focusing on? When people cannot afford rent with a $15 an hour job? Disgusting.

I don’t think anyone thinks that, Democrats included. You and your buddies just like to repeat it over and over to create more divisiveness. Work on healthcare and the budget.

Why are my groceries so expensive? I don’t care about your transphobia.

Congressman Mark Alford no one is going to the extreme of taking hormones, hormone blockers, or having surgeries so they can play on a sports team. And when are you going to realize sports are there for fun. They aren’t that important. Using that fringe issue to enforce your bigoted agenda is just wrong. Oh, and genetically use have XX, XY, XXY, XXX, X. And that is before you get to hormone differences that lead to Individuals expressing the opposite gender of their genes.

Culture war crap. I think there are bigger issues like healthcare?, economics, executive over reach. Sad this is what people think are important

Of ALL the things going on, this is your worry? The man in the WH called himself the president of Venezuela this week 🤦🏼‍♀️

Stop trying to look in girls’ pants, pervert [….]

Should Gestapo be terrorizing people?

How bout you get back to work and stop worrying about the 16 trans teens that want to be in sports. How bout all the ICE vehicles by World of Fun. How bout you worry about something relevant and stop trying to manufacture division.

Yeah but trans women aren’t men sooooo… why you dyin on this hill, bro? You gonna investigate the junk of every bathroom user in your constituency?

Apparently.

Our homes have non-gender bathrooms

Interestingly, so does ours.

In what way does this effect your life? Don’t we have more important problems to worry about? Go do some more bootlicking Mark. People can’t afford food or health insurance and this is the type of crap MAGA is worried about. What an absolute shame.

Could you PLEASE do something useful? This obsession is sick.

Why do you care about games?.. Literal games? I don’t concern myself with anyone’s genitals. That’s weird.

Of all the urgent issues this country is facing, THIS is what you are focusing your attention on???

4th Congressional District, former newsreader, Iran, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, sycophant, Trump sycophant

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 10, 2025]

We stand with the people of Iran.

These bold protests, led by incredibly courageous people, represent an opportunity for Iranians to finally be free of oppression and terror.
America and the world will be safer and more stable when the Islamic Republic is dismantled.

Some of the responses:

How about standing with US citizens against our government that is demanding we show papers, follow orders or you will be killed.
ICE tactics, policies and procedures need a review.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” – George Orwell 1984.

Now how about us? The right to assemble without fear of being injured or death. And the files and uphold our constitution instead of stepping on it.

Yet, you don’t stand with the protesters here, the ones who want to stop our freedoms being revoked and our constitution from being shredded. We too want to be free of oppression and terror.
The hypocrisy is strong.

You stand with Iran but not Minnesota? Right.

If only you would support the American citizens who protest the tyranny and oppression of the current administration.

“America and the world will be safer and more stable when the *trump administration* is dismantled.” Fixed it.

While YOUR leader OPPRESSES CITIZENS who speak in OPPOSITION TO YOUR FASCIST CULT

Mark Alford only stands for Mark Alford!

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Do you stand with the people of the USA who are being terrorized?

You meant to say when this current administration is dismantled! Worst administration in US history and it is not even close!!!!!

The US would be free of terror and oppression if ICE was dismantled.

Stand with the brave inti fascist protesters in the USA Mark!

Meanwhile in America…

We stand with the people of Minnesota.

How about standing with the American people 🤔

You’ll stand for anyone except US citizens

We need to free ourselves from this fascist regime in America

Have you already predetermined which performative Bible verse you willl post tomorrow?

So you’ve decided to stand with USA citizens or just Iranians?

Propaganda is well known and we see what you’re doing here.

So what you’re saying is that it’s not about the people of Iran, it’s about America..

During meetings in 2020, President Donald Trump suggested to officials the idea of shooting protesters in the legs or feet, according to accounts from former Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other sources. No

You support the Iranian protest, but not American ones? Why was it OK for Renée Good to be murdered?

It’s sort of weird seeing you condemn Iran’s government for killing unarmed protesters while applauding the US government for doing the same.
Surreal…

So, if Iranian Federal Agents start shooting Iranian protesters, you won’t be upset, right?

I hope the Iranian people are able to restore the democracy they lost due to US interference in 1953 and to build it back stronger.

“America first.” No more wars! You already forgot that we just had a peaceful protester shot in the face.

But America first, right???
Really a bitch statement, mark.

STFU Trump sycophant

You don’t stand with anyone, Mark.

You scream blatant Islamophobia then say this unironically.

Oh you stand with the people of Iran but not with the Muslims who live in this country.
Oh you stand with the people of Iran but not with the people here.
How pathetic and hypocritical can you be?

Congressman Mark Alford – the Iranans aren’t going to turn Iran into a Christian Nationalist democracy and build statues to Jesus and Donald Trump. They’ll replace, at best, one Islamic government with another. No different than your fellow MAGA Republicans plan to replace Trump with a similar right-wing faux Christian Nationalist.

so, are you ready to invade Iran yourself to “stand with the people of Iran?”

You are such a damn hypocrite. And tomorrow you’ll share another biblical verse with us that further highlights your hypocrisy.

You find it’s so much easier to praise foreign protesters than do anything to help your domestic constituents. What a loser.

You want to stand with the protesters in another country, but condone the murder of protesters in your own country
Let me say this as clearly as I can.
Go.
F*ck.
Yourself.

[….] Dear god, just when I think you can’t get any worse … you go one up on your hypocricy. Do your job, honor your oath, and stand up for the people in YOUR OWN country, you toxic piece of MAGAt cult trash. You are totally and completely unfit to serve. The 4th District deserves so much better.
[….]

Donald Trump is a terrorist.

Too bad you don’t stand with the people of the United States, instead you support Ice with their gestapo tactics. Irony???

The irony is astounding. That those words could come out of your face is ridiculous. Those protestors over there are mainly liberal…left leaning. And secular. Not conservative. So, you hate leftists over here but applaud them over there? How convenient.

Why is DHS and ice using propaganda to try and get people killed? Oh. Do you think it might be to try and get people killed? Our federal government wants American citizens to die.

Are you kidding???? Why don’t you stand with the people of the United States???? Because, YOUR regime is doing to US what Iran’s is doing to THEIR peaceful protesters!!!
HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS???
YOU are not the ruler of the world!
What happened to taking care of YOUR OWN BACKYARD, ‘cuz, I gotta say…it’s looking really neglected.

Now do Juan Orlando Hernández and Honduras

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 3, 2026]

We strongly support President Trump and the administration’s bold actions to take illegitimate Venezuelan President and narco terrorist Nicolas Maduro into U.S. custody.

Venezuelan drugs have poisoned our communities for far too long and we look forward to Maduro facing swift and severe justice.

Thank you to our brave service members, law enforcement officials, and special operators who carried out this successful operation.

It must have been 401 tons of drugs that did it.

One month ago.

….President Trump formally granted the pardon on December 1, 2025, and Hernández was released from prison on the same day, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 after a U.S. federal jury convicted him of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras between 2004 and 2022. In his pardon announcement, President Trump asserted that Hernández had been treated “unfairly”

[….]

Some Honduran legal analysts have characterized the Hernández pardon as a “mockery” and a “slap in the face” to the Honduran people and have expressed concerns that the pardon could send a message to Hondurans that those who engage in high-level corruption remain beyond the reach of justice. The Honduran attorney general has suggested that Hernández may face charges should he return to Honduras, where he reportedly is the subject of an open investigation….

It’s the oil.

Clueless:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 1, 2026]

Happy New Year, MO-04. Our best days are still ahead!
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

You should remove this post buddy. You are still not being received well. 🙄

Jack Smith’s deposition video: [….]

WHO’S “best days” are you referring to?? The top 10%? All the Billionaire$ partying in St. Bart’s? Crypto-scammers?? AI scammers?? Pardons-for-SALE purchasers?? Oil and coal robber-baron corps?? Mercs-R-US ICE?? Whoever’s making toilet paper out of the Constitution?? WHO’S “BEST DAYS” are you talking about? Cuz it ain’t the millions who’re getting screwed on health care or groceries or the rising utility bills or seniors or — gee — much of ANY of the working folks.

Quiet,Piggy.
[….]

I’m from Missouri to show me state You got to show me and right now I ain’t seeing a lot.

Best days won’t hit until late January 2029.

Happy increase in your health insurance premiums day.
Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it.
Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up.
Call your Rep and Senators.

Our best day for MO-04 will be voting you out in November.

Well, I hope so. Last year was brutal for the Constitution and anyone who loves it. Perhaps it will be a better year for separation of powers, checks and balances, and due process.

Yes, Happy New Year to all those who can’t afford their insurance now.

Day 1 of the Congressman Mark Alford and the republicans health care rise. With no plan.

GOP Healthplan
– 789 Weeks since POTUS said “GOP Healthcare Plan will be out”
-15 years since ACA passed into law, GOP plan?
– 54 votes to tear the ACA apart, replaced with?
The GOP has NO health-plan, none, zero, zippo!

The GOP Plan for Access to Healthcare.

Over 1 million lost their jobs this year. Ask them

There’s a certain 4 letter word I think of when I see you pop up. And you’re full of it.

Happy New Year Mark !Maybe you could list all the wonderful things you’ve done this year I mean actual bills or votes or actual things that benefited your constituents instead of posting on social media all the wonderful places you’ve gone to visit in Missouri on the taxpayers dollar… all while enjoying the best healthcare insurance plan available. I’ll be waiting for your next post listing all of your wonderful achievements.

Are you resigning?

Heh.

You all will be saying everything is great even when the boat is filling full of water.

Happy ??? 24 Million Citizens Health Insurance ballooned today !!! BUT you don’t have to worry, Taxpayers pay your health insurance and you make $174,000 annually

Mark can we hear how the Republican healthcare plan is going.

the Republican Healthcare plan under Congressman Mark Alford consists of letting millions of Americans die and go into poverty attempting to survive illness. They got nothing and never will. 🤬

Unless you keep my Obamacare intact… I’m screwed Mr.Alford!

Yes, the best day will be Jan. 20, 2029, when the felon leaves office.

ROT IN HELL goddamn maga garbage

Congressman Mark Alford, that is exactly what a person such as yourself with affordable health insurance premiums would say.
However, due to your unfitness for office approximately 22 million individuals will not be able to afford their health insurance premiums.
Although they can take comfort in knowing their tax dollars will continue to fund your more than comfortable lifestyle including health insurance.
Unfortunately the best days of 2026 could be the loss of health insurance because the past history of yourself, your fellow Congressional Republicans, and Trump is one disaster after another.

Congressman Mark Alford, what a year! Fascist, authoritarian rule, a Republican controlled Congress, including yourself, who are completely sycophantic and aren’t doing what you were elected to do, masked, armed thugs roaming the streets harassing and arresting anyone who fails the ultra white test, insurance made unaffordable, tariffs causing inflation and unemployment leading to higher food prices.

You’ll always be a total asswipe Markie.

Healthcare not affordable. No great new healthcare plan as promised by republicans. Groceries not affordable. Housing not affordable. Alford you need to resign.

After the last year with the trump Regime’s control unchecked corruption and complete disregard for the constitution. The next 3 years are looking grim.

Happy New Year, Congressman. But let’s not pretend all is well. If our best days are still ahead, we need leaders who act like it—not ones who:
🗳️ Push to federalize gerrymandering
Instead of protecting voters, some in Congress are working to undermine fair elections—proposing legislation and court challenges that rig maps and silence the will of the people.
⚠️ Strip away health and safety protections
You’ve voted to eliminate regulations that protect clean air, water, and food safety—all while calling it “freedom.” But real freedom doesn’t mean toxic rivers or dangerous workplaces.
💉 Sow confusion about vaccines and public health
Instead of supporting science, your party has politicized medicine, spread disinformation, and undercut the professionals trying to save lives. That’s not leadership—it’s negligence.
🏛️ Waste time renaming the Kennedy Center
While families struggle with rising costs and crumbling infrastructure, you’re focused on symbolic culture war stunts—not solutions.
🛢️ Drum up conflict overseas for oil
Stoking tensions in Venezuela under the guise of “freedom”—but let’s be honest: it’s about fossil fuels. Meanwhile, clean energy and peace get left behind.
🏥 Continue to block real healthcare reform
Millions still can’t afford to see a doctor and millions more will be added to this since the subsidies have been eliminated. We need the ACA subsidies, Medicare expansion, mental health investment, and reproductive care—not more obstruction.
So no, it doesn’t feel like a “Happy New Year” for everyone in MO-04.
Not when power games are prioritized over people.
Not when public trust is treated like a punchline.
Not when your votes say more than your holiday posts ever could.
We deserve a better 2026.

Let them watch football on TV

4th Congressional District, Kansas, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sportsball

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 22, 2025]

We’re disappointed to see the Chiefs’ announcement that they will move across the state line.

While this is a set back for the KCMO metro area, I know Governor Mike Kehoe did everything in his power to get them to stay. I applaud Governor Kehoe and the state legislature’s steadfast leadership throughout this process.

With this behind us, it’s time to move forward. We must deliver real prosperity, job opportunities, and economic development by thoughtfully eliminating the state income tax, while at the federal level, we work to bring home responsible federal investments through my work on the House Committee on Appropriations.

Together, we will turn the “Show Me State” into the “Grow Me State.”

You can smell the desperate fear.

Too bad it had to be over sportsball.

Some of the responses:

BS. The GOP controlled legislature was too busy overturning the will of the voters on minimum wage and abortion. Holding hearings and votes on how to make trans youth lives a hell hole.
They should have been busy on the stadiums.

Kansas tried this perpetual cutting taxes nonsense and figured out that subtracting all the time doesn’t end well. Looks like MO is dumb enough to think they can do it ‘better’ by pretending that subtraction is really addition. 🥴

==========

What did the Governor do exactly to prevent this from happening?

Mike Kehoe (r) [2025 file photo].

Attended some Cheifs games in a VIP box.

good photo ops.

All while criticizing KC saying we were crime-ridden.

LOL, Kehoe campaigned mightily on the fact he was going to keep the Chiefs in MO no matter what. You the taxpayer paid $175-225K for the #MOLEG Special Session that was supposed to keep the team in the state. Just goes to show how ineffective and incompetent the Republican Majority Controlled Missouri Legislature really is.

the governor gets the blame just as the governor of Kansas is being lauded for her efforts . But the truth when 2 red states are raiding each other it seems the people lose and it’s a rush to the bottom for the area . Moving of a team like this takes away lots of business and economic activity.. Catching a game during the season is a highlight of visiting that area . It’s going to be part of Kehoe’s record that the team was lost under his watch . People lost businesses and jobs

to quote Mark, “the Governor did everything in his power…”. And that was what exactly?

He rambled on……

==========

They HAD to move. Trump** already thought they were from Kansas. 😜

Yep.

Guess there is now going to be some open space for yet another AI Data Center!

For the win!

Concepts of a stadium plan… or something like that.

We see what you did there.

Congressman Mark Alford, I have no idea why you would applaud Kehoe’s feeble attempt at negotiating with the Chiefs franchise. Oh, I forgot, politicians of the same party stick together even during bonehead decisions.

because Congressman Mark Alford is a major a$$ kisser. He can’t help it.

4th and short. Incomplete pass. Turn over on the Stateline.

Heh.

That’s what you call: “If God gives you lemons, make urine”

Apparently, there’s a plan or something.

3 billion dollars directly to the pockets of a man already worth 24 billion is a scam, not business.

Spend more time wooing the chiefs than gerrymandering!

But did they try to sprinkle some tariffs on it?

Don’t you mean a “Grow Weed State”?

Real curious what attendance is going to look like for the Thursday night game?

We’re about to find out.

Republican Governor Kehoe and the Republican dominated state legislature with a special shoutout to the “Freedom Caucus” were more focused on setting aside the voters majority support of sick leave for Missouri workers and illegally redistricting the Congressional districts to provide Trump with his five House seats in anticipation of the midterm election to focus on this situation. Representative Emanuel Cleaver was not a part of this mess.
Kehoe and the Republican members of the legislature should be turned out of office for their actions regarding but not limited to the situations that have been listed.

==========

So when you are cutting or eliminating taxes, where is the revenue coming from on the taxes being cut?

Uh, no public good for those not in the 1%.

They have “concepts of a plan.” Sales tax will undoubtedly go up and there will be many cuts made to the state budget; most likely to our public schools.

===========

Maybe if the legislature funded a new stadium instead of reversing voter approved paid sick leave, they might have stayed. Oh, well 🫤

Wow. How uplifting Mark.

Sure he did

While you were too busy making sure that what the voters already decided was ignored and redistricting the state outside of the constitutionally required time, kansas was making moves. Well done. This is what happens when you pay more attention to DC than what’s going on here.

Congratulations to The Edwardsville Chiefs

While Missouri was focused on gerrymandering, Kansas was focused on the Chiefs and Royals and Missouri loses.

Congressman Mark Alford will tell you Republicans are going to grow in a post about how Republicans lost Missouri’s most prized sporting franchise.
Do you understand he’s providing you with the opposite of receipts?

Do NOT replace the state income tax with regressive taxes like sales taxes and property taxes. If this was the reason businesses came to the state California and New York would not have such large economies. Businesses locate where they have a skilled labor force and necessary infrastructure. Invest in education and infrastructure.

Don’t know why the Hunts couldn’t pull themselves up by their bootstrap and build their own stadium.

Billionaires don’t stay Billionaires by spending their own money

Mark, make sure no flyovers for them happen from Whiteman!!

B-2 bomber [2020 file photo]

Good I’m getting tired of funding a billionaires hobby

Missouri is the new Louisiana thanks to the GOP. Fighting to be last in everything

==========

What exactly did he do?

nothing

Jack and shit

===========

Giving out participation trophies 🏆 doesn’t fix our broken MO legislation Mark.
We need true visionary leadership. Time for a change in Missouri.

The governor just lost billions in revenue and lots of jobs. We have to start voting blue. Republicans can only think about the top .5% in Missouri.

Kehoe promised the Chiefs state income tax credits as an incentive for them to stay. Then he proposed abolishing state income tax. Great incentive for keeping the Chiefs in Missouri.
Congressman Alford, we pay attention. Your puny propaganda attempts won’t fool us.

TOOL!

We tried to suck up to billionaires by fucking over the lesser classes but it didn’t work this time.

He did nothing!

Hard to see where our legislators or governor did much of anything other than provide lip service to keep them here.

Please stop posting!

I’m surprised he didn’t blame it on Biden or the deepstate

Wouldn’t say it’s a setback. I’m tired of paying taxes for something that I can’t even afford to attend.

Not with Republicans in charge….

Next to shut down is bothwell hospital in Sedalia. Thanks

Why do we lobby for Corporate Welfare anyways?
A lot better ways to spend money than lining the pockets of The Hunts.
I think we shut down the NFL and shut down Agriculture. Then we allocate $ and appropriate legislation on which one after 30 days the citizens start wanting back first.
*hint in the history of the world no government has ever been over thrown because of an entertainment less society.

I genuinely don’t understand why we pay sports teams to do anything or pay to build them shit. They make plenty of money without taxpayer income. Make them do it their damn selves; then maybe they wouldn’t be extorting their home cities every time the lease renews. Sure, teams might move, but at least you didn’t have taxpayers giving them money for x number of years only for them to leave afterward with no regard to their fans.
I don’t care that the Chiefs are moving, by the way. Just sharing my opinion on subsidizing sports teams in general. It’s not our responsibility to pay for their business.

Are you kidding me?? What a joke.

Well we’re disappointed in everything you do!

He did nothing. Are u out of your mind????

Maybe elect a governor in Missouri who is a leader and visionary not a MAGA culture warrior

There’s that.

Listen Mark I am totally conservative but eliminating the state income tax is stupid

Congressman Mark Alford, maybe you all were too busy trying to gerrymander the state?

So what will replace the income tax. Well, if history is a guide, increase the regressive sales tax. Billionaires like regressive taxes.

Just remember who you voted for in Missouri. This is what you get

Weird spin on failure

Maybe spend less time bitching and pointing fingers and more time solving issues and these things could be avoided.

Everything republicans touch turns to shit.

Maybe if y’all didn’t spend so much time trying to gerrymander the maps and do the orange felon’s bidding, you would have seen this coming like the rest of us were screaming. This falls on all of your heads. And I hope Missourians don’t forget when y’all’s time is up.

Really? You’ve been out and about dividing and spreading propaganda and mugging for photos at the White House—while Governor Kelly was at work, proving she is much more accomplished and capable than any politician in the state of Missouri. Thanks again, for NOTHING. You give us nothing but propaganda day in and out. Go hang your head in shame.

Kehoe and the legislature are worthless. They’re more concerned with overturning the voters will and bankrupting the state.

Leave it to Republicans to fumble the simplest things.
You’re all failures. Absolute embarrassments and failures.

Our governor didn’t do crap. You’re just an another politician just like the rest of them.

Socialism for the rich! And you support it. Hypocrite.

This is entertainment…formerly NFL Football. Their GAME is not essential. And then to watch one of the “star” players pout like a child scolded or be the tough guy that roughs up the coach because he can’t control his delicate feelings. The new stadium ought to have a giant consolation trophy prominently mounted on it. The paking fees are exorbitant as are tickets. These are not doctors or scientists….they provide nothing but high-priced over-rated entertainment.

Congressman Mark Alford your idiot megalomaniac fiscal policies only benefit the wealthy.
Maybe we can drop enough population that your district is eliminated. 😂

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 11, 2025]
🎪 Democrats tried another desperate impeachment circus today. It collapsed on impact. The American people are tired of political games, & so am I.
House Republicans are laser-focused on securing the border, rebuilding our economy, and restoring American strength, not fueling the Left’s obsession with President Donald J. Trump!!
[….]

Some of the responses (out of over 2000):

The king leads the sheep

or perhaps…. the lemmings.

the Emperor will pardon the ones who he thinks will do something for him in return. That’s why King Donald I was so upset with the Democrat he pardoned who then said he was going to run again as a Democrat.

I’m equally confused about which immigrants stay and which are hunted down and arrested?

the white ones stay

They pardon the ones that can pay for it. $$$ For a surcharge, the drug lord’s families get to come to the U.S. as well.

Kinda like the Letitia James fiasco, no?

The circus must go on! 😂

I gotta tell you the number of times I have seen Republicans getting ratioed on their own posts because nearly everyone hates them is bringing me great amounts of joy

“we’re blindly obsequious” isn’t the own you seem to think it is.

Midterms are coming.

Midterms anyone ?

How are you feeling about health care and affordability?

he doesn’t care

Laser focused? I had an Irish Setter once that had a longer attention span.

Did you wake him up to tell him yet?

Oh, no, Mark is practicing to be a “digital creator” or “influencer.”

The word is unaffordablity. Such a beautiful word. So awesome and wonderful. We love unaffordabilty, We love things to cost a lot. Another beautiful word is unaccountability. We love to be unaccountable for unaffordability.

Well there is always the midterms

🤣🤣what is your economic and healthcare plan? I’ll wait

Amen so am I. Indiana republicans respected their constituents today! And the grand jury did the right thing. Midterms are coming.

Midterms are coming!!!!!

Midterms, midterms, midterms…..

And how about your concepts of a plan on healthcare?

Tired of political games? Interesting.

Ironic.

Do you blame the dog whenever you fart? Nobody believes that either.

Circus? The only circus in town is maga

Ah yes the stable genius, most honest man in history stands tall again

Keep saying that to yourself.

Great job Mark. How’s the free lunch and free healthcare?

Doing a great job on the economy. Just ask your constituents. 🤮

the problem for people like Alford is that he’ll never get many Democrats’ votes, he’s too far gone for that, so he does what Kevin Yoder did when he realized that Sharice Davids–a Native American, lesbian, mixed martial arts fighter!–was likely to beat him in Kansas, he (Yoder) leaned harder into the MAGA constituency hoping there were enough of them motivated to come out and vote. He lost.

How are you rebuilding the economy if it is stronger than ever?

Laser focused on making these posts. Lol

See you in 2026 🌊

Midterms

I don’t think republicans are focused on those aspects either. Kinda hard to tell with your heads up Trumps backside.

And the law be damned, right? 🙄

Midterms, Mark.

Midterms are just around the corner

Yep midterms are coming

What is your plan to lower the cost of healthcare?

Where’s your health plan?

Shill.

Congressman Mark Alford 🖕

You were laser focus sitting at home for eight weeks when the government was shut down?

This clown said that he’s “sick of political games.” 😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂
Stop, bro, my side hurts! 😆 🤣 😂

Well you got one thing right: we are tired of the political games.

Where’s the health plan Mark?

What planet do you live on?

Have you been to the grocery store $$$$

A Republican says political games. Hilarious

Figured you liked games… it’s all you play.

What you mean to say is that you are “tired of political games” unless they serve your interest.

“Rebuilding our economy” destroying it first then “somewhat picking it back up” is like gambling with $100, loosing $100, buying back in with $300, loosing $300, buing back in with $500, loosing $500, buying back in with a $1000 and loosing $950. That’s not “fixing the economy”
