Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission for a PAC supported by organized labor:

C201150 10/19/2020 Protect Missouri Freedom Purple PAC 8141 King George Ct Manchester MO 63021 10/19/2020 $100,000.00

What are they spending money on? [October 15 MEC report]:

Opposed to these republican candidates [October 15 MEC report]:

That’s quite a gallery.

Spending that campaign cash: A very expensive combination of irony and satire…

It has to be that.

In our mail this week from Uniting Missouri, an extremely well-funded right wingnut PAC propping up Missouri Governor Mike Parson (r):

“Law and order” – Uh, who’s been in charge in Missouri? You know, like the current governor, almost all of the statewide office holders, and the General Assembly? It’s going that well?

“Election and postal experts recommend returning your absentee or mail ballot NOW to ensure timely arrival” – They must really believe weir awl stoopit. Has this ever been an issue before? Again, who’s been in charge? Who ordered the dismantling of sorting machines across the country? Who was that?

“Getting back to normal” – “Yes…we are OPEN, welcome” – We notice the proprietor of the establishment (probably a stock photo) isn’t wearing a mask. How convenient. No, thank you.

From the Missouri DHSS COVID-19 Dashboard, October 16, 2020:

Back to the address side of the mail piece:

“St. Louis Post Dispatch ‘Absentee Voters Surge'” – Not particularly subtle, is it?

“Join your neighbors” – Even less subtle.

Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission, from a Washington, D.C. PAC:

C180688 10/05/2020 Freedom’s Promise PAC American Federation for Children 1020 19th Street NW Suite 675 Washington DC 20036 10/1/2020 $30,000.00

[emphasis added]

Since when has any organization really worried “for” children had that kind of money to throw around? You think they support Medicaid expansion in Missouri? Wait. Look at the recipients of their largesse before you answer.

That one is ironic on so many levels.
