Eric Schmitt (r) {August 2022 file photo].

This evening:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
This is purely a partisan case against President Trump

Soros DA Bragg campaigned on prosecuting President Trump, while violent crime in NYC rages on & violent criminals walk free

This is a political prosecution in search of a crime & sets an dangerous precedent going forward
6:27 PM · Mar 30, 2023

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

It’s called the justice system. If you’re a criminal, you get indicted. If you’re found guilty, you go to jail! Foundation of a successful democracy.

No extradition. This would mean Florida is now sanctuary for Trump. Right?
[….]

Heh.

But the Hunter Biden laptop—that’s legit. What a joke you are.

Trump is corrupt. Trump broke laws. Trump acts as though he id above the law. This is the first of quite a few indictments he will face because he chose not to follow the laws like an upstanding citizen.

A Grand Jury made up of We the People indicted trump. All strangers in a room heard testimony, saw physical evidence and voted for an indictment. Have you already forgotten how the system works since becoming a senator? [….]

Oh Eric…why don’t you sue Alvin Bragg! You sue everyone else you don’t like. Just go away.
[….]

gotta throw those dog-whistles in there, don’t you?

Donald is a crook Eric.

The “lock her up” folks have big feelings about political prosecution in search of a crime all of a sudden.

Way to spit on the grand jury, Eric.
Almost like you think some people are above the law.
[….]

Oh fuck. I’ve been taking a drink every time they say Soros.

Deciding to go the antisemitic route is certainly a choice Eric.

You really think the grand jury in NY voted to indict not based on the evidence presented, but on their party affiliation?
Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?

No one is above the law.

Oh look, another antisemitic gop pos. (Yeah, I know he’s also a liar but chose to focus on the antisemitism since news media continues to ignore ongoing casual antisemitism of the gop.)

You sound pretty ignorant saying this without an unsealed indictment, don’t you think? Kinda culty?

You don’t even know the charges yet you dotard.

You are such a moron Eric. Please stop embarrassing Missouri with this nonsense.

It’s wrong that there allowed to come for people accused of crimes. Presidents should be accepted from this madness because that’s what America stands for! #maga

Weir dumed.

You all have your talking points “Soros” all in a row. POS hope you go down too

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

Josh (r) hates it when you do that

[emphasis added]

Public Law No: 117-13 (05/20/2021)
COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act

This bill requires a designated officer or employee of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to facilitate the expedited review of hate crimes and reports of hate crimes.

DOJ must issue guidance for state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies on establishing online hate crime reporting processes, collecting data disaggregated by protected characteristic (e.g., race or national origin), and expanding education campaigns.

Additionally, DOJ and the Department of Health and Human Services must issue guidance aimed at raising awareness of hate crimes during the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.

The bill establishes grants for states to create state-run hate crimes reporting hotlines. It also authorizes grants for states and local governments to implement the National Incident-Based Reporting System and to conduct law enforcement activities or crime reduction programs to prevent, address, or respond to hate crimes.

Finally, in the case of an individual convicted of a hate crime offense and placed on supervised release, the bill allows a court to order that the individual participate in educational classes or community service as a condition of supervised release.

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
When will the White House condemn this hate crime against Christian children and teachers
[….]
12:52 PM · Mar 28, 2023

Self-righteous cockwomble.

Some of the responses:

They have. It was another mass shooting. Everyone has condemned it.
Christians are not persecuted in America. But we do have a gun problem in America.

You, like Trump, are a white nationalist.

You are a deeply unserious fool.

Run josh, run!!

The WH has condemned the violence multiple times, against all of the violence, not just one specific group. That is the difference, Hawley. They condemn all violence. You only condemn it when it suits your purposes to do so. I remember how you behaved when Paul Pelosi was violently attacked. Where was your public apology for that hateful and sickening behavior? Where was your condemnation of your fellow MAGA politicians behavior?
This is why Biden is the sitting President, Hawley. Because he has at least respected America and Americans, be he a Democrat or not. You betray America, you discriminate and attack anyone not “MAGA”.
There are almost 300 million Americans out there who are NOT MAGA. We do not like your discrimination. If you want to spread hate, go to Russia or China where it is normal. Your fascist ways are not welcome in OUR government.

When will elected officials do something to actually prevent children dying in school?

Dems have condemned every school shooting. But condemning does nothing.
It’s the legislation that you oppose that at least gives us a chance.

They did that yesterday. Try to keep up. Why does it matter that the victims were at a Christian school? Have YOU condemned OTHER mass shootings based on the race/ethnicity of the victims….?

When will you stop using dog whistles?

Got news for you dude. Shooter was from highly religious Christian family.
[….]

Your mouth was silent on all other school shootings ..what Christians are above every other shooting? Hypocrite

It’s weird, because the “christians” are usually the ones doing the shooting.

Why do you assume it’s a hate crime? She was a former student. She had other ties to the school. We just don’t know at this point.

Christian on Christian violence? [….]

A. The murderer went to that school
B. Now your up in arms cause it’s a Christian school. Excuse me. A white Christian school.
C. No issue w El Paso, Buffalo, Club Q, Montery Park, et al
D. 2 yrs ago you voted No on a hate bill.
#GOPDomesticTerrorists
#GunControlNow

Did you sit around with your team all night workshopping how to get you the most attention out of this? “Should we use ‘massacre?’ That’s an emotionally charged word.”

“You know what plays well? Making it sound like a hate crime against Christians!”

You are pathetic.

A good share of children murdered have been Christians. Which should not determine how concerned you are. That makes no difference. A kid is a kid

Josh spewing hate while whining about a hate crime.

Every mass shooting is a hate crime. Is this one more important because it happened in a Christian school? How many Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Buffalo Topps, and the many thousands of other instances, victims were Christian? The loss of innocent lives, Christian or not needs to stop!!

There’s nothing rich white guys love more than pretending that they are the ones who are truly oppressed

Um. They have.

Interesting that Republicans say there is no such thing as a “hate crime” until it’s someone they hate committing the crime.

Stop trying to profit of this horrific tragedy. You look gross and Jesus is watching.

So it only a hate crime when it’s against Christians? Got it.

Tell us about the 1.3 million you received from the NRA

The fact that this is your focus, and not the proliferation of weapons that have resulted in over 100 mass shooting this year already, shows exactly where you get your talking points

When will you stop being ok with children being killed by guns

You are such an armchair Sunday Christian speaking out of both sides of your mouth! You are so pathetic! Where was this anger in Uvalde, Buffalo, all other mass shootings? Hypocrite

When will Josh Hawley condemn the gun violence everywhere and not just a Christian school? Where was he when mosques were being attacked? Other schools? That’s right. A meaningless “T&P” for the loved ones of kids murdered in school by violent people. Josh is only about Josh

How was it a hate crime when she was a student at the school?
Just stop it.

When will you DO SOMETHING besides ‘thoughts and prayers?’

Hawley, the NRA funded traitor and seditionist says what about guns killing innocent children and adults?
[….]

You’re a lowlife Sweetie

You are a disgusting disgraceful human being. Issue an apology to the parents of these CHILDREN. Quit twisting the narrative and FIX The Problem. You can stick your thoughts and prayers. #MAGAMoron

The White House condemns all gun violence. We’re all on that pedestal except you. Stop tweeting and go do your job.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

[image cropped]

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
THIS is the greatest challenge our nation faces – the loss of our common culture & the principles & beliefs that bind us together
[….]
9:16 AM · Mar 27, 2023

Have you ever bothered to read the Constitution, Josh (r)?

Some of the responses:

Trump is the manifestation of everything ugly in America. Racism. Sexism. Unfettered capitalism. Domestic terrorism. Repression. He is a cultivated and self-created weapon of entrenched corrupt power that feeds the rich and foils the true American promise of a better life for all

You have a news & entertainment media and an entire political party (Democrats) dividing the people 24/7, calling you racist, telling you it’s bad to be patriotic and closing churches, what do you expect? Sinister forces are trying to and succeeding at destroying America.

If people are calling you racist it’s probably because you’re racist. Who is closing churches? I mean they should be closing churches but I haven’t heard of any closing. The sinister force trying to destroy America just had a rally in Waco Texas.

We’re a land of diversity. Did you learn nothing in school?

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

The peaceful transfer of power used to bind us together.
But you helped take care of that, didn’t you?

[Cheers on insurrectionists] Gosh whatever happened to a common sense of patriotism geez

ok insurrectionist

And now, like a grown up, assimilate the information and utilize it. Why do you think this is like this? What role does your seditious behavior play in it?

Look inward Josh. These items should never have been politicized.

Fueled by people like you and the former president—dividers all.

Keep your religious beliefs to yourself.

America is not interested!!!

Please, dude. Your supporters’ contributions to culture at this point are book banning and beating up drag queens.

What are these common cultures, principles and beliefs you speak of?

If you truly believed this you would no longer seek to divide. To other and dehumanize everyone who doesn’t looks act or think like you. But that’s all Rs do. It’s all they have. They no longer care to govern. Instead they legislate away the rights of anyone they don’t agree with

I do not share anything with the likes of you, pencil. You are a traitor to your oath. I will never forget that and nobody else should. If people stay away from religion, it’s because of phony Christians who think they’re on a mission to hate others not like themselves.

Keep allowing illegals to flood the border, and it’s only going to get worse!

No human being is illegal.

“No human is illegal”

Are these your white power concerns? You’re living in the past and nobody cares about your white power movement.

Of course it’s concerning, who would sign on to your definition of patriotism you traitor?

This is YOUR culture, not mine. Stop trying to turn this country into a whites only christofascist regime.

“Common culture” is rich coming from a Missouri Senator who doesn’t actually live in Missouri. How is the wealthy northern Virginia culture treating you?

This graphic gives me hope. While it does the opposite for you.

Josh tried to overthrow the government of the United States and now he’s worried about patriotism. I mean you can’t make this stuff up. [….]

This very same argument culture is changing, we’re losing our culture, been used many times in American history.

during emancipation.

during suffrage.

during the civil rights movement.

They claimed they were losing their culture back then as well

Because some of us don’t appreciate domestic terrorism. Remember #january6th.

Some of us don’t want to have kids. And some of us don’t support having our rights taken away in the name of some made up entity.

No one wants your patriotism if it means ignoring our problems.
No one wants your religion if it means we don’t help people.
No one wants childbearing if you’re going to let us die if things go wrong.
No one wants a community with bigots.
Wages aren’t enough to survive.

Yeah, it’s really awful that a country that was founded on democracy would have people who object to others controlling their reproductive organs, what they read, what they wear, who they love, and putting certain people above the rule of law.

Where do insurrections go on the graph, Josh? And obstruction of justice? And”death and destruction “?

All Josh Hawley (r) needed to know about international relations he learned by playing simple board games in junior high school

Fascist pig, Josh Hawley, Putin puppet, right wingnut, social media, U.S. Senate, Ukraine, Virginia

What a putz.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Three-quarters of NATO members aren’t meeting their basic commitments—which are already too low—but they want the U.S. to spend more on Ukraine. No.
[….]
8:51 AM · Mar 22, 2023

Some of the responses:

Sit down, traitor.

Putin is a tyrant. One who meddles in elections around the world and wants to expand his control by invading other nations. If he is not stopped, Ukraine will be the first, not the last.

Now is not the time to quibble over budget commitments from other NATO allies.

ok insurrectionist

Pardon, Traitor?

Your a good Senator.

Consider the source.

You do realize that Ukraine is not part of NATO?

Ummmmm yes. The lousy Trump Trash NATO rhetoric.

Sounds like Vlad is sending his assets new talking points to distract.

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

I’d say 50% of your time is spent trying to look like you’re doing your job. And the other 50% lying about it.

Adopting Chamberlain’s policy of appeasing Hitler fits your persona.

Congress must expose who has dual citizenship with Israel immediately

Josh Hawley’s (r) base, apparently.

So now you’re doing Putin’s bidding? The things you won’t do for a little bit of attention. Loser.

Why do you hate #Democracy ?

Any politician lobbying against NATO is in the pocket of Putin. It’s that simple.

We all know you are a traitor to democracy and a Putin apologist.

Pushing Putin’s propaganda again Josh ??

What Is ‘A Fundamental Misunderstanding of How NATO Monetary Commitments Work?’ I’ll take “Things the Fucking Russians Want US Senators to Say” for $800, LeVar

Russian Asset says…

Where do I mail the rubles, Comrade?

It’s what’s expected from the greatest nation on the planet. The rest of us don’t run away.

This is a totally irrelevant arguments to threats to world safety. You’re unfit to serve a hamburger let alone this great nation. Resign, traitor.

stfu trump fluffer.

So you are ok with mass abduction of children, bombing of civilian housing and infrastructure, and invasion of a sovereign state for no reason. Cool cool

Previously:

Nothing much has changed in 84 years (February 24, 2023)

Because Ukraine should just throw sticks and rocks to dismantle the Russian invasion (February 27, 2023)

This morning, from Eric Schmitt (r):

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
There is simply no room in our justice system for political prosecutions in search of crimes.
8:26 AM · Mar 21, 2023

Irony impaired.

Some of the responses:

I’m sorry, I can’t understand you. I was too distracted by the massive plank in your eye.

You should go tend to that.

There is simply no room in the Senate for apologists of the criminally indicted.

Anti-American extremist Eric Schmitt hits his corrupt successor @AGAndrewBailey with a broadside.

Oh goodness Eric, we all heard and saw his crimes. We’re you not listening?

You mean like you suing multiple MO public school districts over masking orders, costing them thousands to defend and then dropping the cases but not suing 1 private school for same. Sidebar his kids in private school all masked up. You mean that kind of political persecution

Yep. illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov – RSMo § 610 – Missouri Sunshine Law – email submissions – part 8 (January 13, 2022)

Eric, the fact that you are a sitting US Senator is in fact criminal.

Yet we still have you.

You mean like you investigating #Missouri schools for no reason and costing #Missouri taxpayers thousands of $$?

Would you share with us your reaction to the chants of “Lock her up” in 2016?

Hillary Clinton (D )[2016 file photo].

Hillary (D) would like a word.

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

I agree. As soon as it starts happening I’ll oppose it. For now, paying off a porn star and lying about it to advance your political career SHOULd be an end to your Republican power. But no more. Character doesn’t matter. Integrity means nothing. Power is the only currency.

you did it! Making it a crime for a woman to get an abortion is a political prosecution. Suing school districts who want to keep kids healthy is political prosecution. You slimy hypocrite!

Explain this to me: Mueller didn’t indict him because DOJ says no for a sitting President. Second Impeachment and GOPers acquit because he was out of office. Now he’s about to be charged with a crime but that shouldn’t happen because he’s a FORMER President.

IOKIYAR*

*it’s okay if you’re a republican

No need to search. The crimes are in plain view. Once again, you are on the wrong side of history.

How many lawsuits as attorney general did you file then ultimately drop just to get name recognition

Hmmmm … Tell me more about your time as Missouri AG.

Shhhh.

You sir are a hypocrite of the highest order.

How do you say this kinda stuff with a straight face? Also, how do you sleep at night?

And yet you made it a habit to file frivolous lawsuits wasting Missouri taxpayers dollars simply to advance your own political career. Hypocrite, unethical, and without any integrity.

And there is no room for thinking that politicians are above the law.

You are a joke. #LockHimUp

You are an embarrassment. Try being an actual senator.

You’ve got it wrong. Criminals get prosecuted regardless of their connection to politics, just as the founding fathers intended. YOU creating a false narrative abt crim investigations involving a former president is the politicization of the rule of law and abuse of your office.

Such as what?

Sorry, no one is above the law.

Oh, Eric, here in Missouri we still remember all the times you filed lawsuits over GOP political grievances.

You need to stay out of this.

You are a disgrace

No one is above the law, not even you.

Reference YOUR position as RAGA treasurer- robocalls & buses in support of 1/6. You’re a seditious traitor too.

Like dozens of lawsuits filed against MO schools, many not even served on the defendants & then dismissed? Playing politics with the justice system?

Sell Missouri to China!

Heh.

Wow. You have zero self-awareness, huh? I mean, none at all

Is there room for prosecutions of actual crimes? Because using campaign money as hush money for illicit affairs is … a crime.

Hypocrite.

Shut your sycophantic, ladder-climbing yap, you disgustingly corrupt twatwaffle.

Fucking what? This from the bullshit artist that sued school districts in his own state firing sv pandemic?

You’re pathetic. You are even worse than hawley, and that’s saying something.

Kind of like the ones you filed against Missouri school districts. You are a disgusting pig.

I am baffled by all these low brow and poorly educated people who still do everything Trump tells them too. Unbelievable. You are drunk on ignorance and gullibility. Haven’t you learned yet?!? My God!!!

“…There are many copies, and they have a plan.”

There is simply no room in our justice system for someone like you to be this stupid AND BRAG ABOUT IT!

His co-conspirator served months in federal prison for the same crime- the crime was already found, dumbass.

“Individual-1”:

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

Remember those hearings on Bengha….oh, wait (March 19, 2023)

Fascist pig, fist pumper, gaslighting, Josh Hawley, seditionist, social media, U.S. Senate, Virginia

Virginia seditionist (r) says something on social media:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The Democrats used the FBI against parents, they used the FBI against Catholics, they used Big Tech against vaccine critics & anyone who questioned them. Now they want to arrest Trump, their leading political opponent. They are the banana republic party
1:29 PM · Mar 18, 2023

“…leading political opponent…” Heh.

Run along, Josh (r).

Some of the responses:

How are you guys deciding who gets to kiss Trump’s fat ass next?
Is it first-come, first-smooch? Is there a lottery? Do you line up like Southwest Airlines passengers?
[….]

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

Show some respect, Josh: Banana Republican Party.

That’s right, arrest Trump, he richly deserves it.

Hopefully they’ll arrest you next, for your part in 1/6.

Sounding a wee bit NERVOUS right now?
[….]

Josh Hitler says what?

The NY district attorney doesn’t use the FBI.

The Lock Her Up crowd is having a big case of feels today.

I’m ashamed you are my senator.

Listen, Senator Fist Pump, I would’ve already been arrested and sitting in jail if I did a fraction of the stuff he’s being investigated for. If he gets charged, the state will have to prove its case.

If he did nothing wrong, he’s got nothing to worry about.

That’s it Senator, keep going “all in” on defending Donald Trump. It worked so well for your party in 2018, 2020, and 2022. I’m sure it will be different in 2024 tho.

Donald Trump is a private citizen who has committed multiple crimes. As such he is afforded the normal protections of the law but he has no special privileges despite your attempt to make him a god.

Although you are, unfortunately, one of my Senators, you represent neither my interests nor my values. When do you plan a town hall in Missouri?

So, to be clear, you believe that no matter what crimes Trump has committed that nobody should ever investigate, and he should just never be charged?

Marathon Boy, Democrats aren’t the ones who perverted the Justice system, and now it’s back on track. Be prepared. We understand why you would be nervous, traitor.

I still laugh out loud watching you run like a scared rabbit from a group of “friendly tourists”

Heh.

You’re so full of shit. The FBI head was appointed by Trump.

Too Woke To Fail
1:44 PM · Mar 13, 2023

Now, if only Eric (r) could ever define it.

Some of the responses:

Insightful.

I’d love to see some suggestions or ideas.

Insulting fellow Americans ≠ Solutions

Failure happens when you allow lobbyists to make the regulations.

There’s that.

Failure happens when you sell Missouri out…

You’re a failure you never did your job in Missouri.

Everyone in my bank was awake today. Should I be concerned?

Define woke.
It is not a word to be used in every situation.
Hypocrisy is alive and thriving in your MAGA world.

What’s woke?

Republicans come up with slogans but never offer solutions!
#StayWoke

Oh honey get some new words —

I’m seeking original thoughts. So far all I see from you is nazi propaganda

Eric thinks every time he types “woke” he gets a peanut.

We are all tired of hearing you and the GOP use the word woke. You don’t even know what it means when you use it. If woke is educated, informed, considerate of others and our environment then count me in as being proudly woke.

I’m embarrassed for you.

Define woke.
I’ll do it for you: EVERY SINGLE THING THE GOP DISAGREES WITH OR DOESNT LIKE IS NOW CALLED WOKE.

#MAGAMORON.

Lazy but authentic frontier gibberish.
[….]

What does this even mean?

He doesn’t know either.

You’re such a schmuck. Do you ever have anything useful to add to the conversation??

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

Too busy Shit Tweeting to Work.
[….]

What the actual fuck do you mean?

Other than making lame ass statements such as “too woke to fail” what are your plans and policies to help the American people?

First rule when you’re full of MAGA bull shit is throw the word “woke” in every sentence

Youre an abject imbecile. Had nothing to do with wokeness. Has everything to do with your orange diety and you nazis screwing the economy. China Eric.

How did dip shits like this guy get elected? Worthless. Just spout buzz words without having any clue what they mean but hoping his voters won’t realize just how stupid he is.

You sound like an idiot.

Fascist pig, Josh Hawley, right wingnut, U.S. Senate, Virginia

Throwing your shit against the wall just to see if it sticks came in a close second.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday, from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Joe Biden will probably visit Silicon Valley Bank before he visits East Palestine
8:29 AM · Mar 13, 2023

Some of the responses:

Which one will you visit??

Why would Sen. from Missouri visit Ohio?

He lives in Virginia. Already been to Ohio:

Virginia. Ohio. Same difference. (April 28, 2022)

And Sen. Karen McRunnypants, who helped create both catastrophes, of course, would run away from both.

You don’t even live in the state you are an elected senator. What hypocrisy.

Josh rarely leaves his comfort zone

How’s the weather in Virgina?

Doubt that he will visit the bank..

The bank situation is the greater threat to the country.

Josh, shut up. Seriously your lame retorts are just that…lame. keep runnin buddy
[….]

Don’t you have work to do for our country? Please do something for your constituents other than spending time tweeting judgement. Do something which makes me feel good about my tax dollars paying for your amazing healthcare and other benefits. Jesus.

Hmm train regulations rolled back, bank regulations rolled back. Wonder who did that?!

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

Is this the part where Republicans pretend like they didn’t roll back Dodd-Frank provisions for smaller banks like SVB, and their supporters didn’t cause the run on SVB? The cycle of Democrats cleaning up Republican messes continues.

Both are disasters caused by reckless dismantling of regulations by you and your ilk.

Any legislation planned? Didn’t think so.

How many times have you been there? How many times have you visited the border? Has being photographed standing in either place solved anything?

Havent seen you at either place. Such concern.

Maybe worry more about doing a good job for the people of Missouri and spend less time being a mouthpiece for the party line.

Virginia. Ohio, last April.

Where are you running off to, today, Hawley?

Still running away from tourists?

#treasonweasel let the Ohio electeds worry about Ohio; why don’t you run on back here and listen to YOUR constituents? We’ve got things to say to you.

Will you visit Missouri anytime soon like ever. I live in the state that somehow elected a Virginian to represent Missouri. Tip of the cap to you for getting over on the rubes.

Risky and Reckless.

Republicans deregulated both industries and now pretend to complain when bad stuff happens

Josh Hawley will probably hold a town hall in Virg….. wait what state do you pretend to live in? Oh Missouri.

Trump visited to cause chaos and get attention.
How did that help?
He’s already forgotten his visit, along with the names of his wives and kids.

What do you want him to do? Pass out expired food and water? Sign Biden hats? Buy McDonald’s?

Btw trump never visited a single train derailment in 4 years. Neither did his transportation secretary.

But do tell me how Trump’s rollbacks on trains and banks have left us.

Where are you from, MO? Keep your nose in your own state. [….]

Virginia.

Maybe Trump should visit SVB, and explain how wonderful it was that he rolled back Dodd-Frank?

A symbiotic relationship – as Eric Schmitt (r) posts stupid shit on social media, we’ll continue to mock him here

Last night:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
One news nugget from this week worth noting

Democrats attacked journalist @mtaibbi for reporting on the government colluding with powerful interests to suppress speech

Most corporate media was totes cool with it

But keep lecturing us about tHrEaTs To DeMoCrAcY
8:31 PM · Mar 11, 2023

Totes? Are you still in junior high school?

tHrEaTs To DeMoCrAcY. Apparently, yes, he’s still in junior high school.

Some of the responses:

What the hell is the last sentence?

Generally speaking it’s weird to hear a U.S. Senator use a word like “totes” just to seem normal and human

It’s a junior high school thing.

Two news nuggets – you’re still an insufferable, attention-seeking toolbox

Totes? Too many beers at Spring Training, huh?

You’re still an election denier. Your phony populism charade is crude

Matt who?

In your world, is the only good journalist the one who only reports the news you like and not the complete story?

Yes. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Why do you tweet like a teenager? Are there any serious Republicans?

Fire whatever intern wrote this

I’m apparently not down with the lingo that the “cool kids” are using this year. You’re an attorney? WTF are you talking about?

How is your drivel on my feed??? Go away

“Totes cool?” I thought you had to be at least 30 to be a Senator.

eLEcTiOn DEnIeR

Heh.

You remain, as ever, full of the rankest, most rancid shit.

Did your teenager get ahold of your phone? Clown.
[….]

Every right wingnut republican accusation is actually a confession, Eric (r).

Climate Alarmism is a cult.
[….]
RNC Research
2:19 PM · Mar 10, 2023

RNC Research – that’s an oxymoron if we’ve ever heard one.

Some of the responses:

The GOP is a cult.

People sell their souls for a few extra bucks.

Is this why you were elected?

No, but it is a symptom.

Climate denier- asleep, bloated, mediocre male tries to be relevant so Orange Julius will notice him

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

Heh.

Election Denial is a cult.
[….]

Climate alarmism is science. Climate alarmism is caring for God’s creation. Climate alarmism is caring for the poor. Climate alarmism is the only sane response to the truth we must face. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow #ClimateEmergency

Tell me you’re in the pocket of big oil companies without telling me you’re in the pocket of big oil companies. [….]

Says a member of the Trump cult.

Did you fail all of your science classes?

So many questions.

Trump lost.

Says the guy who sold Missouri farms to the Chinese

Heh.

Climate denial is even worse.

Bless your heart.
[….]

Climate Change Denial should be labeled as Paid Programming.
You’re an embarrassment to the state of Missouri.

You Sir, are tragically misinformed.

He probably knows better, he just doesn’t care.

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

This is not going to age well, Senator

Fascist

It’s not “alarmism” if it’s happening, DS.

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

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

Probably sarcasm.

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

Climate denialism is a cult .. FIXED IT

Denying what is happening to our climate, especially by an elected official, who is supposed to be working towards the good of the people, should be a crime. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry

Climate change deniers are ignorant and dangerous

Says a science denying fascist cult guy.

Go look at independent research and analysis by insurance companies. You will find they have determined climate change is real and getting worse.

Cool. So does that mean red states will stop crawling to the feds to bail them out after extreme weather events?

Climate change denying is a cult

MAGA is a genuine cult. A fascist one!

Like the projection here lol

See above.

Not really, there is loads of proof. You’re just a loser hack.

Idiot!!

You could just say “I am anti-Science” and be done with it.

Nope – climate alarmism is based on science – have you heard about that?

Interesting how you hate anything that will make the world a better place.

The tRump cult you’re in is deadly

You would know what being in a cult is like

What a surprise a Republican would say that. Republicans lie about everything. Move on.

Yes we should believe thought leaders like you instead 🤡🤡🤡

Consider the source.

Unbelievable that you would feel that way given all the scientific evidence we now have plus what’s happening right in front of us. Are you blind?

No, sir, he’s a republican.

All of science is a cult, really. Right? Not like it’s ever produced anything useful.

RNC Research-an oxymoron if ever heard one.

Heh.

Meanwhile your cult is flipping out over drag queens, cat boxes and books.

Actually, a cult would be a subset of the electorate that storms a nation’s capital and attempts to overthrow the government.

YOU are in a cult, skippy.

Everything about you bums me out. You are such a tool.

Ignoring climate change is short sighted and foolish, there is no Planet B.

There is no Planet B.

Aren’t you the Eric Schmitt that voted twice to sell land to the Chinese? Didn’t you once help over ride a veto to force the Governor to be able to do that? How’s that kind of thinking working out for you now that you’re in DC? Are you in a cult?

More science deniers, never underestimate the power of stupidity!

Climate Change Denialism is a cult. We’re already paying tens of billions per year because of it. Look beyond your radical right bubble to what’s going on globally in crop loss, mass migration.
