Missouri redistricting referendum blocked by secretary of state, drawing lawsuit
Denny Hoskins argues the Missouri Constitution does not allow a referendum on a congressional redistricting plan while refusing to say whether enough signatures had been collected to place the congressional map on the ballot

By Rudi Keller
August 4, 2026 6:08 pm

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins blocked a public vote on the state’s new congressional map Tuesday, declaring a referendum petition unconstitutional a few hours before polls closed in the primary election.

He refused to tell reporters at a Jefferson City press conference whether the petition had enough valid signatures to qualify for the November ballot. It didn’t matter, he said, because the Missouri Constitution does not allow a referendum on redistricting.

“Whether they had one signature or 500 million signatures doesn’t really matter because they are unconstitutional,” Hoskins said at a news conference.

The political action committee People Not Politicians turned in more than 300,000 signatures in December, and local election authorities spent hundreds of hours verifying whether the people who signed were registered voters.

[….]

“According to Missouri state law, I had until today at 5 p.m. to certify those signatures,” Hoskins said. “As a certified public accountant, I want to make sure all my ‘i’s are dotted and T’s are crossed.”

[…..]

“…Noun, verb, CPA…”

Detail oriented, eh?

“Gerrymander This”

From the Missouri Democratic Party:

Missouri Democratic Party Statement on Secretary Hoskins’ Continued Failure to Do His Job
August 4, 2026

Missouri Democratic Party Chair Russ Carnahan has issued the following statement following Secretary of State Denny Hoskins’ last minute refusal to certify the petitions by Respect Missouri Voters and People Not Politicians that a historic, record-breaking number of Missourians, of all political beliefs, signed and submitted:

‘At the end of the day, Hoskins’ desperate attempt to avoid the will of Missourians is not surprising, unexpected, or even creative. This is a craven power grab by a Republican politician in Jefferson City who is afraid of what will happen if Missourians will be allowed to vote. Let’s be clear, Missourians of every political leaning — Democrat, Republican, and independent — signed these petitions. It is not everyday Missourians that are opposed to their own right to vote, it is the Republican politicians in Jefferson City,’ said Chair Russ Carnahan. ‘We support the right of all Missourians to vote and ultimately expect, after a brief court battle, that they will get that opportunity.’

Senator Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

“…Oh, a bullshit artist…”

On Friday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 31, 2026]

The central plank of Democrat party is open borders and mass migration.
They want to import millions of illegal aliens, give them welfare benefits, and have them vote in our elections.
They’ve lost the case with the American people.
[….]

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Oh horsepuckey 🥴you’re a delusional white supremacist liar. RESIGN.

Horseshit works, too.

You lie. But then what is new?

Please list in detail and with citations the evidence for your claims.

[….] It is the responsibility of the person posting this absurd 💩to prove what they have stated!! Otherwise, it is just pure 🐂💩!!

[….] from Senator Eric-“I was told to do so by fellow Carpet Bagger Josh and the Dear Leader, Felon in Chief himself.”

Please don’t confuse MAGA supporters by asking for facts.

The Kool-aid is strong with Eric. 💪

Don’t forget to call them commies, that always works!

Is this satire?

Sadly, no.

Where, WHERE is there any policy statement stating open borders?

==========

The paid demobots bombarding all republican posts. This is why you can’t cater to democrats. They are evil people. You have to step on their heads and force them to leave the state. More mega, more anti-democrat laws. These people only want to destroy the state and the country. We have to destroy their will to stay.

Bullshit Im fighting this the all way. And Im not a bot. Im a Democrat/Liberal who cares about people and my beloved Country. I’m not evil, but you are, wanting people to leave. Simply because they disagree w/your narrative. This is free Country so you can fuck off!!

MAGA leaders are the ones destroying America. Sadly the MAGA followers just keep drinking the koolaid. 🗽

We didn’t elect a convicted rapist for president.

We’re constituents, ass face.

Such a shrewd judge of character!
Sure ~ keep cheering a twice-divorced adulterer and convicted sexual predator, an OBVIOUS PEDOPHILE, who ran up the federal debt, sloppily imposed tariffs, embraced the anti-American autocrats leading Russia and North Korea and Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who incited a storming of the Capitol – a man devoid of serious thought and guiding policy principles, a self-fixated candidate who presented no intellectual framework for his presidency, overtly racist, a convicted FELON, a man who pays more in hush money to porn stars than in taxes, who mocks the dead and threatens our deepest allies…

It is curious how every Republican accusation is a confession. Note how FB and other social media are overrun with Russian/Republican bots again with the coming election. But you accuse Democrats.

I’m not paid. I criticize Sen. Schmitt out of the goodness of my heart.

Wow, the “it’s my state and anyone who doesn’t agree with me should be stepped on” narcissism in this post is over the top, you should seek mental health counseling. Fascism is not a good replacement for democracy as much as you want it to be.

I believe it is the Republicans and Trumps Fascist party that are destroying our country

Give us more messaging from Adolf, translated from the original German, please.

And this is what passes for rational debate?

“Stupid people love me” DJT “Smart people don’t like me” DJT …Thank you for confirming that.

Dude, try pouring the kool-aid over your head instead of drinking it. It might cool you off.😊

Read what you wrote and tell me who actually sounds evil here.

What are the central planks of the Republican Party? How are those going?

What he means is.. hey daddy look at me, me!…lol

Running scared, are we?

“Central plank”? How about no stupid wars and affordability

The Ten Commandments address lying specifically in the ninth commandment, which is found in both Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20 of the Bible.Here is what the commandment states about lying and neighbors:The Text: The commandment instructs: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”.The Original Meaning: In ancient Israel, this primarily served as a prohibition against perjury or giving false testimony in a court of law. It was meant to ensure that justice was served and that innocent people were not condemned by lies.Lying About Your Neighbor: The wording specifically focuses on harm directed at a neighbor, which in this context means any fellow human being, friend, or community member. It outlaws malicious deception used to hurt someone else’s reputation, steal their property, or compromise their safety.Broad Application: While the commandment originated to prevent judicial fraud, it is universally interpreted by major religious traditions (including Judaism and Christianity) as a broader prohibition against all forms of lying, gossiping, slandering, and spreading rumors that damage another person’s character.

Explain to me Eric, like I’m a college graduate, how it’s not socialism, communism even that the Federal government is now owning stakes in companies?

Wow, given the Republican party is currently in charge, and the current economy, fuel prices, grocery prices, and stagnating wages, he’s whining about the other party?

We have a winner!

Not a Democrat, but I do know some, and not one of them feels this way soooo I’m beginning to think this is some distractive 🐂💩

January 6th.

There’s that.

“Import?” 🤦🏼‍♂️

Another bag of baloney…

Your last name is German. Assuming your ancestors came here in 19th century…via open borders.

As opposed to Republicans who want nobody to have healthcare.

If so, have a town hall open to all. That’ll go well for you.

No it isn’t. Try again

u gonna bail out farm$ again??🤡

Still riding that tired old horse?

Tell me you’re part of the cult, without telling me you’re part of the cult.

I’d pay good money to see walk the plank!

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

Don’t you get tired of saying the same lines over and over?

You aren’t reading appropriate materials if that’s what you think is the central plank. If you need to shorten their plank into one simple sentence try affordability along with opportunities for all.

Actually it’s Medicare for all. Try to keep up.

You are delusional and need to listen to all people, not just spread hate.

Why is it we never hear an original thought from this guy?

Name one Democratic candidate or incumbent that has said they want open borders. Just one.

Amazing, people can say this stuff with a straight face.

No it’s not. You wouldn’t be focused on these lies if you had anything, ANYTHING, positive to offer.

Why would you say this? It’s just not true for most democrats and you know this.
There are things on their platform that you likely don’t agree with but why make up things?

Federal law has banned undocumented immigrants from SNAP, Medicaid, and SSI since 1996. (Thanks Bill Clinton) That’s almost 30 years of bipartisan law. Some some states cover limited things like emergency care with state money, but “millions on federal welfare” just isn’t real.
Non-citizen voting in federal elections is already a felony. A handful of cities let non-citizens vote in local school board races. That’s not a party platform, that’s like five city councils.
So this isn’t really “facts,” it’s three myths stacked on top of each other.
To be fair, there are real debates to have about asylum policy and enforcement levels. Just not this version of them.

I am a Democrat and I can tell you that everything you just said is not true.

Oh, BS. As a Democrat, I want a reasonable path to citizenship, for the US to honor its promises to folks following a prescribed path. I also want healthcare, housing, food and education to be affordable. I want the administration to follow the Constitution and legal precedent.

I’m sorry, but I don’t actually believe that you have ever actually asked any of us what we think about anything. I would’ve definitely shown up for that conversation.
Personally, I’m really tired of being “othered” by partisan political hacks. I am an American citizen, born and raised in Missouri. Forced into a party affiliation by Missouri closed primary voting laws.
I do not believe in wide open borders, I do not believe that we should be propping up anyone, citizen or not, that is capable of supporting themselves and I don’t believe or think that everyone that enters the country should be eligible to vote in our elections. Neither does any other progressive voter that I know.
STOP LYING! STOP DIVIDING!
DO YOUR JOB and represent all Missourians, even those of us that did not vote for you! You wanted the job, you won the job! And you have spent your time and our money demonizing half of your constituency as the enemy to the other half.
DO BETTER.

Spoken by a former Missouri AG. You know those guys that uses to believe in due process.

Not really.

You are so misinformed Eric. It’s laughable that a human would even say such nonsense, particularly one who thinks he is intelligent.
Really?😲🙄 is that what you think?
And do you even think Americans would believe that?

None of this is supported by evidence. You have no good qualities to run on, so you have resorted to name calling and scare tactics. Every metric is negative. You can not show one positive outcome from this administration. We have seen what you have to offer and it’s a no for us dawg!

Actually, we want cheaper groceries, gas, housing. We want universal healthcare, a living wage, free college, paid family leave, paid vacation and childcare.

How’s that lying about the reflecting pool vandalism going?

Do Republicans ever tell the truth? About anything? I’m beginning to think the answer might be NO.

blah blah blah

Actually it you and your fascist fellow Republicans who have lost your case with the American people .

No it is not. Do any of you ever fact check or do any research?

You’re so full of shit

You realize we didn’t have a border patrol until 1924 right? and we only even started patrolling officially off and on in 1904. Though there were informal “Chinese Inspectors” since the “Chinese exclusion act” in 1882
So I’m fairly certain, our history, says “your a fucking moron”.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

You can always tell when a Rapethuglican is lying because they’re breathing.

Stop with the hysteria. Your degree of spreading lies and disinformation is astounding! I can’t believe that sensible people have voted for you.

Is there even one Republican telling the truth and actually working for their constituents?

Keep a fire extinguisher near your pants at all times.

You’re so full of shit Eric, lie to the public just to save your ass and your half baked party’s ass. Stop gaslighting you POS.

Where’s your evidence?
When your party has only manufactured fear to offer. It’s telling 😉

Well, no it actually isn’t. Why lie about it?

Is Mitch McConnell available for comments?

Don’t drink the koolaid folks…unbelievable

Asshole!!!!

Say desperately out loud lies to say how desperately you need to lie

How’s your war going?

“War [good god!] Is Good [what is it good for?] For Absolutely Nothing [say it again!]”
Circa 2001-2005.
28 x 22, posterboard, permanent marker.

Lying fool. 🤡

Lazy recital of the latest scare tactics by an obvious toady.

You are makin’ stuff up; these are lies, and history will be brutal to you. Can’t wait.

No one with any sense believes you, asshole

Drinking the kool-aid again? You are a joke

You just demonstrated your lack of critical thinking ability.

You are a #1 grade A doofus. People are worried about food prices, healthcare, housing, things your party are cutting for the most vulnerable. Elections haven’t been a problem until 🍊🤡. And you are helping him destroy America!!

Hey there, Eric, remember Missouri. You know, where your constituents live and vote. Some of us are a bit more concerned with gas closing in on $4 a gallon, grocery prices through the roof, and an insane war waged by Trump, without consulting with Congress.

You know that is untrue. This shows you can’t be trusted to be honest. Shame on you

What a mud slinger you are. Tell us what you are for and quit lying about the Democrats. Find some integrity and decency. “Show Me” that you deserve to be a Senator. You are looking like a lost cause these days, undeserving of an office.

No it’s not but you sure as hell can’t run on this disastrous administration. You have no shame

Hate fills your heart dude.

That’s not what they want. Why do you deliberately lie? Do you not have your own policies to promote. Is your only stance attacking democrats with a false narrative. If that’s all you’re about you need to get the fuck out.

You are a joke …. And a bully.

Pretty presumptuous of you to tell me what I believe or don’t believe in.

Idiotspeak

Do people actually believe these lies?

Settle down, bubba. Take your meds.

Oh look. Making crap up. Why? Truth is a vote loser, I guess.

You do realize that the magat cult stupid enough to believe you is shrinking, right?

1. Obama was originally called the reporter in chief.
2. You can’t receive welfare without a valid SSN number.
3. Only Trump has put out a ” gold card” to fast track immigrant to citizenship.
So how are your claims true? Propaganda against democrats for something that is not true is called lying. On top of that demonizing a marginalized ethnic people is wrong. Separation of ethnic backgrounds is supposed to be against the law. No matter executive order or not equality has always been an American value. You sir are white that = immigrant at some point in your own family history. Since we are in Missouri I truly hope you understand pot calling kettle black doesn’t make it right.

Jesus Fucking Christ…Do these people actually believe this? I mean seriously, if they were in court and started spouting this nonsense, they would be referred for a competency hearing…this is literally insane…

No it isn’t, you lying, misrepresenting fuckwad.

Again, why would you make up this ‘crap’. From a person who supported gerrymandering to favor a political party in the upcoming midterm elections and is trying to pass the act that would impact far more legal votes than illegal votes. So, it’s also disgusting that you’re supporting these things that are trying to change things unfairly to gain election results.
While I think the moderate Republicans want rules to be enforced fairly, the Republicans & current President you support do not enforce rules fairly. The current administration is not concerned with the common working class Americans – the focus is on helping billionaires get richer.

What in the world are you blabbing about? You know that’s not true. Please worry about something of importance for your constituents.

Pssst….. lol, we don’t believe you.

This would be funny if it wasn’t so stupid.

Senator Schmitt, you are lying. Non-citizens do not qualify for federal aid and they do not vote. If this were true, Republicans would have brought cases to court– with proof– but they haven’t because there is no proof. You are hawking a bogus conspiracy theory to gullible constituents for political gain. I can’t think of anything more dishonorable. You’re a pandering con-man who has forgotten his oath to the Constitution. YOU are the disgusting one. Lies do not become truth no matter how many times they are repeated.
Grammar check: it’s the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party.
On a personal note, you may want to consider asking God for forgiveness.

Republicans like being laughed at.

The central plank of the Republican Party is thinking all Americans are stupid enough to believe their lies.

No election platform of substance, sow fear. Old strategy

More nonsense from the right. Lie and deny is all they know. Bunch of fascists

You are so full of it Schmitt. Open borders and mass migration? No, how about Medicare for all? How about free and fair elections? How about ending this senseless war in Iran? How about Senators that stand up against a pay to play corrupt government? Affordable housing, affordable education, affordable child care, affordable groceries for crying out loud?

Why do you think people would believe such ludicrous claims? It’s embarrassing.

No, it’s not. Not even close. But hey, while we’re on the subject, what’s the central plank of the republican party? Other than kissing the felon’s butt and trying to scare the stupid? Haven’t heard a thing about what you’re going to do to improve life for the American people. Not one word.

Fearmongering is for pols with no platform and voters incapable of thinking critically.

Shut the fuck already! This bullshit line is really getting old. What else do you guys have? Healthcare? Lower grocery prices? Lower gas prices? How about you talk about something real instead of made up 💩 like this. 🤷‍♂️

You know what your motto should be, Eric? “I love to hurt people who live in Missouri”. You have two years left in office and I cannot wait to start working to remove you and all the other pedophile loving people in your ass-backwards party.

The hell it is you asshole. Quit the fucking fear mongering all the damn time, you sycophantic piece of shit.

Somebody has overdosed on the Kool Ade. Every time a politician even hints that working people should get paid a fair wage the overlords panic and yell Communism. Are hospitals and roads communist? Are police and ambulance services Communist? Sometimes people just like to get together to have projects that benefit everyone. And sometimes that includes our immigrant neighbors. And a lot of workers are immigrants. They aren’t all on welfare. Statistics show they have a really short stay if they are allowed to work. This is just hate propaganda.

A fascist says, “what”. Fuck off, Nazi

You are a liar. Stop with the hate. One day you may need someone that doesn’t “belong” to your hate party. And they will help you. Because they aren’t you.

You are a lying fucking piece of shit. You are a despicable excuse for a human.

I couldn’t find any party “plank” that contained these things.
Eric, are you just another liar who is happy to sully our political process?
Shame

You know, you’re really making it hard for me to really figure out whether you or Hawley is a bigger asshole & who has more shit for brains…you’re a stale piece of bootlicking toast bud

It’s not. You fucking shithead!

You’re a U.S. senator. Why are you making this up?

Senator – i truly believe your fear mongering will be viewed for what it is. Please furnish the proof. We keep hearing these unsubstantiated claims but investigation has been going on for years by independent entities. Please quit insulting our intelligence.

“Open borders” are a lie made up by people who think that making people afraid of boogiemen passes for leadership. Immigrants are not our enemies. People scrounging to make a living mowing lawns and laying bricks are not the real criminals afflicting this nation. Pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Republicans support an oligarchy and not the people. Every move you make proves it

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

For people that are hellbent on plastering the 10 Commandments all over the place sure don’t seem to have problem lying.

Do your homework, Eric. Is the Republican platform so bankrupt that the only thing you can do is to misrepresent your opponents’ position and then attack the misrepresentation.

Apparently.

You’re an idiot. It’s the Repubs that keep get beaten in court and public opinion. You are a liar.

The central prank of the Republican Party is drumming up sympathy for billionaires so they don’t have to pay taxes

Yeah, yeah, yeah – The Democrats are all Communists who are possessed by demons. worship Satan and will use vaccines to control.your minds.
Now what the hell are Republicans going to do to clean up the mess that have made of our country?
Want to start with Trump’s war?

It must be a very lucrative gig to wake up and lie your ass off every day.

What has this administration and the Republicans touched that is going well? We are getting poorer. We have to give the farmers 12 billion to bail them out due to tariff wars. China is buying soybeans from Brazil now. People cannot afford basic necessities including healthcare. We have explosive diarrhea and poor air quality caused by climate change. Are we going to leave a world to our children and grandchildren where Canada and Europe are burning? You are spineless and feckless. Why are you voting to take healthcare away with tax cuts for the billionaires? Why are we sending tax dollars to Israel? I want Israeli citizens to be safe but I am not ok with starving and killing thousands of children. Israel has affordable healthcare for all but we do not.

I get it Senator, we are headed into the mid terms with the most corrupt president imaginable and You and Your party has facilitated the corruption all the way. You need a distractions. You need a scapegoats to cover up your parties failures. We know, all the Democrats are “commies”, they all want open borders, they want to fill the country will immigrants and sign them up to vote.
You don’t want us thinking about the 1.8 billion dollar slush fund for Trump’s friends. You want to for get the billions Trumps and his family are making off the presidency. You want us to forget about the people who have been shot or died in ICE custody.
You promised lower food prices But they went ever higher with the tariffs, You promised lower gas prices but the Trump got the Straits closed, You promised ‘No New Wars’ but now we are stuck in Iran, You betrayed your constituents by cutting medicaid and passing the biggest tax cut for millionaires and billionaires ever, You promised to deport “the worst of the worst” but you are shipping everyone you can find out of the country.
Why do I say you have done these things? Because you and the rest of the republican legislatures lack there courage to hold Trump responsible – you have abdicated your constitutionally mandated role as a representative of the people who elected you.

==========

I support euthanizing open borders proponents, euthanizing redistribution advocates, and all DSA members/supporters. It’s time to cleanse the parasites and morons from America

Welcome to early 21st-Century America.

You do realize the only thing stupider than this statement… Are the imbeciles that support you

See above.

Do you really believe the shit you’re spewing?

Hawley Exposes Fauci’s Self-Dealings, Fauci Pleads the Fifth
Wednesday, July 29, 2026

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci in a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing over his self-dealings, pursuit of awards and cash prizes, and illegal use of federal employees and resources amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci pled the Fifth each time, refusing to answer any of Senator Hawley’s questions. Fauci even pled the Fifth when Senator Hawley asked what day of the week it was, what color his tie was, and what color the carpet in front of him was, proving he had no intention to answer questions in good faith.

If we are one nation under God… why should we keep watching prayer get kicked out of American classrooms?
COMMENT 👇
Should we return prayer to our schools?
👍 YES — Bring it back!
😟 NO — Explain why…

FFS.

Some of the responses:

Because it’s in the US Constitution! 😎

Absolutely not.

absolutely. along with the pledge of allegiance and only flag should be the american flag

Stupidity may be inherited, ignorance is a personal choice.

WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION ET AL. v. BARNETTE ET AL., 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

Absolutely not. Separation of church and state. Go to a private school, teach it at home, go to whatever location for the religion you want. Do NOT indoctornate or force anyone to attend.

Under which God?

Which prayers? Are we including all religions?

Who’s prayer tradition? Catholic, Methodist, Quaker, Reform Jew, Orthodox Jews, Greek Orthodox, Coptic Christian, Romanian? In Latin, English, Hebrew, Spanish, Greek Aramaic?

Separation of Church and State. End of discussion.

It is good to know you want a state-supported religion. Would you tell us what kind of prayers you would allow in a public school?

If you can’t read and comprehend the first of our constitutional amendments, you have no business being in congress.

No. When was it in school? I went to a parochial school so we prayed there. When I went to public school we did not. That’s okay.
But curious, I’m almost 60. I’m not aware any public schools had prayer in my lifetime, so who are you talking to when you say “bring it back”?.
Anyone under 70 remember prayer in public school?

So if you have Christian prayer, will you also give equal time to Muslim prayers?

Your initial premise is flawed. The Constitution does not establish “one nation under God.”

The under God part was not part of the original pledge of allegiance either. It was put into show those “commies” that we were a god-fearing nation.

“….It seems trite but necessary to say that the First Amendment to our Constitution was designed to avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings. There is no mysticism in the American concept of the State or of the nature or origin of its authority. We set up government by consent of the governed, and the Bill of Rights denies those in power any legal opportunity to coerce that consent….” – WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION ET AL. v. BARNETTE ET AL., 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

*The Satanic Temple enters the chat*

Next, Pastafarians.

See, there’s this thing called the First Amendment… if someone CHOOSES to pray to the God of their understanding in the way their faith prays, that should be allowed. Insisting everyone pray to one God of a singular religion, it’s not. Everyone who says yes, would you want you child being forced to pray to The Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Called it.

Need to put prayer back in churches and education back in schools

No. There’s are many different religions of the citizens of this country. It’s one thing to teach the basics of all religions, it’s a whole other beast to require kids to pray when we have religious freedom in this country.

Did you have a particular deity in mind, or a particular manner in which to pray?

I’m 74, and I don’t remember ANY prayers in school.
I also don’t remember any math in Sunday school.

Just “Christian” prayer or everyone’s prayer?

==========

Should we bring back The Ten Commandments to the White House?

no. We can’t even get the constitution there.

first, we would have to have a president who can read.

The lightning strikes would be frequent and spectacular…

==========

All prayer or just republican prayer?
Not in public schools!

Send your children to a parochial school of your choice, if that is important to you. Let public schools teach education, not religion. Teaching common moral principles, is acceptable I think, such as honesty, respect, integrity, inclusion, etc.

Whose prayers? Everyone’s? Or just the ones you want?

Which prayers??? Which religion/faith???

I’m sorry but RETURN? What timeline is he from?

What does prayer have to do with education?

Do they teach you the first amendment in Congress school?

Apparently not.

No mandated prayer in public school because “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” You would hope the congressman would know better.

But we don’t have to explain “Yes”? 😂

He was hoping no one would notice.

Should we bring the constitution back to schools because the Congressman doesn’t know it.

Why is your church not enough for you?

Good question.

Glory to Thor!
See how it works, genius?

Lets teach the constitution cause the government seems to have misplaced their copy. Prayers belongs in churches and teaching belongs in schools.

We aren’t “one nation under god,” so of course we shouldn’t “bring prayer back to school.”

I started public school in the 50’s. we never had prayer in school back then. Alford doesn’t know what he is talking about or is hoping no one is old enough to remember we did not have “back in the day” so he can try and put it in now. We prayed in our home even though it wasn’t in our school. Seemed to work just fine.

I found it annoying being forced to go to church as a kid. I would’ve been even more annoyed to deal with it 6 days a week instead of just 1. I probabaly would’ve turned even more of an atheist if I was forced to engage in that.

No one ever stopped prayer in schools. The courts stopped MANDATED PRAYER in school. That is quite a different matter, friends. I don’t want to sound humorous but believers have always prayed – before a test, when a sitting in the principals office, before a big game. No one will stop a child. Students at Missouri school are allowed prayer time during Ramadan for example and the administration supports it. Students are allowed to have Christian Fellowship groups that pray together. Moments of silence occur in response to tragic events. However there are no times in a public school when teachers are required to lead a prayer while everyone prays along.

Bring back smoking in the bathroom

No. Next question.

Prayer is in schools, you can pray literally anywhere, but school isn’t the place to evangelize. Student led prayer like “see you at the pole” is already widely practiced in Missouri. Let’s keep organization-led prayer in the churches where it belongs and put education and academic rigor back in schools.

“….our Constitution was designed to avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings….”

Why does prayer have to be said aloud? God hears it even when it’s silent, right?

In his starship.

Nope. Anyone can say a silent prayer to whichever God they believe in at any time of the day in school. Lord knows I said plenty of them in my 30+ years in education. But organized, school sponsored prayer is not appropriate and violates the Constitution.

Pray for each child to have a meal during the school day, pray for a supportive, trained and fairly paid staff, pray for the resources needed to educate and train students, pray for secure and safe environments where students feel at ease, pray for common sense gun laws to ensure that it happens and pray for parents to have morals, be unselfish and practical when it comes to the needs of all students, not just theirs. How about that?

Let’s talk about it and everything else in an OPEN TOWN HALL!

Heh.

Is this the new non issue you will be ‘working for us’ again?

School is for academics. Church is for religion. This is the way.

Please read the Constitution and respect it. We don’t force religion on our fellow citizens.

No. Prayer is something that parents should be in control of, and instruction should be done on their time not classroom time.

Prayer has no place in public schools. If faith is a critical part of one’s life, take the private school route, consider home schooling or pray with your children before and after school. People of other faiths or have no religious beliefs should not be coerced into Christian prayer.

We were “one nation, indivisible” until Christians had to weasel into the pledge in the 1950s.
Same with paper money…

This should be qualified as Christian prayer since we were founded a Christian nation.

And this is the problem.

The Christian community needs to pray together and decide what one of the 39,000 versions of Christianity, is the right one.
Until they can agree, there is no reason for them to push it off onto others.
Also, The United States Constitution grants and protects our right to believe in any religion we want to. It also gives us the right to not believe in any type of religion. Most importantly it keeps the government from establishing any set religious beliefs as well as not making any laws to favor a religion.
So short answer. No!!! Keep your bs to yourself.

Interesting that you don’t ask one side to explain its position.

If you need a public place to pray and worship go to church. School is a place to learn. If people want to study mythology there is a place for that in higher education.

Are you sure that you want me to lead students in prayer?

If you want it in schools, keep it in your “Sunday Schools.” Religious freedom also means freedom FROM religion.

No. This is not a theocracy.

No, half the kids won’t take it seriously and will make fun of the half that do.

Yes, my children shall pray to Satan

You’re perfectly okay with teachers leading prayers to Baphomet?

“….our Constitution was designed to avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings….”

Would prayer be about Republican Jesus or Classic Jesus?

Diet?

This is what you choose to concern yourself with?

I remember student prayers over the intercom, often ending “in Jesus’s Name…” and I remember the Jewish classmate of mine sitting next to me with a pained look. Never said a word, but I thought then, and think now, this is wrong. Don’t tell me it’s “voluntary”. There’s no such thing in a peer environment of students. Organized prayers in public schools should not be brought back.

Hell no! Brain wash your kids in your church but not my kids!

Don’t you have more important things to do?

Since you’re using your church as a political tool, let’s start taxing them.

Stop being gross, Mark. This is not a Christian nation. Stop trying to ruin our country with your selfish fuckery.

Only if we can play dodgeball in your sanctuaries during services…

Pray to Zeus? To Odin? To a different “God” every day of each and every year throughout a public school education? That might be an element worth implementing in order to help people learn that a multitude of imaginary friends have existed over the timeline of recorded human history.

This is rage bait, right?

And you are…who???

Pray by yourself.
Good grief.

Church is for prayer, school is for education. Not everyone in public school practices Christianity or any religion for that matter. This is purely indoctrination. If you want your kids to be involved in religion, there’s a designated place for that. Leave the rest of them out of it.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 24, 2026]

Talking about the direction of the country, the policies impacting working families, and why so many Americans are concerned about where things are headed.
Take a look
[….]
Washington Reporter
INTERVIEW: House Republicans discuss the “Bolshevik takeover” of the Democratic Party

Oh, FFS.

Some of the responses:

What about the violent takeover on J6 MA?

Yeah, about that…

Ok McCarthy Jr.

Which president took a direct stake into US Steel? Hint: it wasn’t Biden.

Careful, young voters have figured out Communism is not the same as socialist support like VA, HUD, SNAP, SBA, Farm Bill etc.

Republicans are under orders to falsely claim we are communist because he is losing and needs a new crisis.
No surprise there…

Democrats are NOT communists! Know your history- McCarthyism!

You bet we are! We are tired of your bunch allowing T to keep adding to the national debt and leading our country into bankruptcy.
From whom much is given, much is expected. Our country’s taxes should be benefiting the American taxpayers and especially ‘the least of these’. Your policies are not doing that.

Look for a new job

Get ya bootlicking ass outta here ya scrub

Circus clowns give interview 🙌

Mr Alford, you’re throwing around those historical propaganda words again, without knowing what they mean (other than you want people to be scared of the “others”, even though the fear should be of you and your compadres).
[….]

Let’s talk about the fascist takeover of Republican Party. All this commie bullshit is just cynical distraction to get us to ignore the crimes of Trump and his accomplices. And you Alford are his useful idiot

Missouri has one tragedy after another on our insufficient highways and you are concerned with communism???

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states.
The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination.
Screwworm cases continue to rise.
And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record.
“Make America Healthy Again.”

Squirrel!

The Pentagon removed four soldiers killed last weekend from its Iran war death toll because they died after Donald Trump’s April ceasefire.
The Pentagon’s official death tally stood at 18 American service members killed as of Wednesday. By Thursday, it was 14.
Scrubbing the names of four American heroes killed in Jordan and Iraq – simply because their deaths came after Trump’s so-called “cease-fire” – is a grotesque insult to their sacrifice and a deliberate attempt to whitewash the true cost of this endless war.

Bootlicking fascist scum

You are a lying ass goose stepping pos!

People need people
Not billionaires
Fuck face

Socialism is not communism you sentient potato 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

The CONCERN is where we’re headed under TRUMP.

You don’t even know what a Bolshevik was, clown.

More fear tactics. That’s all you have! Constantly trying to scare people with BS catch phrases. You don’t have any answers or solutions to help common people so you turn to fear and religious superstition to keep your sheep in line.

You’re sick and twisted, and the fact you’re an ELECTED person, is horrifying.

Stop lying! Do your job!

You are such a stooge. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Magas using fake communists distract from how they’ve screwed over the average American.

You’re a fuckin joke Congressman Mark Alford

You are pathetically embarrassing

“Bullsh!t” takeover of the Democratic party??? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP!! WHY DO YOU THINK TRUMP HAS THE NICKNAME PUTINS PUPPET ???

Is the communism in the room with you now? How about you come to a few areas north of 50 Hwy and talk to a few of the people who got gerrymandered in to your district and we can discuss some of this BullS**t you keep pushing.

It’s time for you to go little Mark All-Lies.

Congressman Mark Alford try spending your time figuring out why 2/3rds of your state read and write at an elementary level.

He considers that a feature, not a bug.

How about all of you in Congress discuss the grifting and crime which you all turn a blind eye to that Trump and his family commit every day. Standing up to him and all the donors who control him and all of you could put you on the right side of history. How about running campaigns on issues that concern people and solving real problems instead of grandstanding about how loyal you are to Trump, who has said many times he doesn’t care about average Americans. There’s never been a platform from the MAGAts other than yelling about immigrants and transgender people who aren’t doing anything dipshit says they do. Just whatever whims he has.

Do something about the war that trump is losing. All he’s accomplished is making Iran stronger.

Congressman Mark Alford is a Fascist White Nationalist rage baiting POS. Mark Alford is a pathological liar, racist, bully, and proven abuser. Remind you of anyone? This man is unfit to serve. Vote this incompetent, ignorant POS out of office. #RememberInNovember

You MAGAs are scared shitless, aren’t ya…like Lettuce Diarrhea scared. 🙂

This is a flat out lie Mark!!

[July 18, 2026]

We must confront communism head-on before it’s too late. 🇺🇸
If freedom is our foundation… why should we have to continue to watch communism take root in American cities?
COMMENT 👇
Is communism taking over our cities?
👍 YES — Time to fight back!
😟 NO — Explain why…
[….]

“…NO – Explain why…”

We don’t have to explain shit to you. As a member of Congress you’re the one who’s supposed to do the explaining. Dumbass.

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Chicken Little!

Sometimes I wonder if this is a parody account. 🙄

I guess when all else is falling, just take a page out of Roy Cohn’s playbook.

this whole administration is out of Roy Cohns playbook. And if anyone reading this is unsure, watch the documentary on Roy Cohn.

Good. Do a town hall at Penn Valley CC and let’s talk about it. Open forum.

Heh. Not gonna happen.

Hell Alford maga Republicans are using communist tactics on the American people . Keep lying and keep changing the narrative to keep them confused and they’ll give up. Trump wants to be putin.

They call it communism when you want a doctor. They call it freedom when one man wants everything

Not understanding the difference between communism and democratic socialism is on-brand for a third-rate news anchor.

Republicans can demonize social democracy all they want but what it really means is that we want a system where we pay into should translate into the tax payers getting something in return like affordable healthcare, a booming economy, energy efficiency and a government that works for the people. We aren’t asking for anything free we are asking for a return for our value as any self respecting person should.
Republicans are terrified of letting the people see a government that actually works for the people and not just corporations and the wealthy.

If only you took fascism as seriously as you take communism.

Know your propaganda before spreading it.
[….]

Red scare. Wherever have we seen that?

Spreading propaganda again, Mark or whoever wrote this. You have TDS- trump devotional syndrome.

Do you know what communism is ?

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

Didn’t we see this movie back in the 50s with Joseph McCarthy? Not very creative of you.

Is the communism in the room with us right now?

What is the matter with you? Seriously? Spouting Joe McCarthy (1950s) talking points? None of you would even be using the word communism if you didn’t hear that nonsense from Trump and his mouthpieces. Do you remember how Trump has made glowing compliments about Xi, the leader of China being smart and strong, etc.? He is giving him a first rate reception when he comes to the U.S. in the next couple of weeks. While we are at it, do you remember a guy from Missouri named Harry Truman? Here is what he said about socialism. Quote courtesy of the Truman Library: “In President Harry’s Truman’s remarks in Syracuse, New York on October 10, 1952, he said this:
Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan “Down With Socialism” on the banner of his “great crusade,” that is really not what he means at all.
What he really means is “Down with Progress–down with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal,” and “down with Harry Truman’s fair Deal.” That’s all he means.”
How about stopping your nonsensical conspiracy theory scare tactics and coming up with real proposals to help people.

Communism = the ‘ism’ of the day for a politician and his party that fear losses in the midterms. It all comes down to what amounts to bull💩ism.

Maybe you should check out a history book to see what happened to those who backed McCarthyism. It didn’t turn out pretty.
We can see you feel backed into a corner because you feel like you might not win this time around. So, you are bringing out the buzzword, communism. You are showing just how weak you are.

You know what yes, let’s talk about it. Why don’t you schedule a townhall and we can talk about it there.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].

Most probably not.

But fascism that’s ok right

Do the name Joe McCarthy ring a bell???

I don’t see it anywhere.

Idiocy. Is idiocy taking over the Republican Party? Let’s talk about it. Certainly when it comes to Congressman Mark Alford it is. A Moron Of The First Degree

Roy Cohn, Trump’s mentor passed away in the 80s. Who is your lawyer Mark McCarthy Alford? Take every one’s eye off the ball, while fascism takes hold in the nation’s capital

No. Is this satire??

Sadly, no.

Plainly speaking.. NO it’s not … the MAGA base needs to have someone or something to blame

No it is not. So McCarthy of you.

Who elected this misshapen shrubbery, anyway?

Dear lord what year does Mark Alford think we’re living in, 1952?

Sorry, we are looking out for Fascism, a real problem

So glad we didn’t learn from the first McCarthy. What you call communism is public schools, public health, roads and infrastructure, fire depatments…. the list goes on. Sad thing is that you *know* it, but you also know that circus performances for the weak minded gets you elected, right?
How about we talk about fascism and authoritarianism, like our *current* administration.

This.

It doesn’t exist here . Fear mongering from the orange guy .

How much does a politician who uses fear mongering respect the voters?
Your system isn’t working.

With the way republicans are eliminating the middle class by making it impossible to get ahead I’d say I see it in the policy making you continue to push.

Ridiculous. You know it isn’t Just another scare tactic

“Communism” is the new boogeyman. Shades of Joseph McCarthy

I’d feel bad for Mark’s social media manager having to constantly post bullshit propaganda- but they must be on board or they wouldn’t do it. We’re not falling for it.

For MAGA, all “Communist” means is “disagrees with Trump”

Can we do something about the cost of health care, food and gas instead of trying to scare people? It’s really getting old. Trump is NOT going to be around forever.

Gotta get the grift while the getting’s good.

Mark, you will jump on any bandwagon Trump is driving.

You CANNOT be serious!!!! LOL!!!!!

“Run your damned mouth about it,” you mean.
Since *at least* Harry Truman (and arguably dating to the creation of Social Security in 1935), the terms “communism,” and “socialism,” (and through the magic of reverse causality, also “Marxism,” “Leninism,” and probably even “Trotskyism”) have been intentionally dumbed-down by the swells and their wannabes to mean any threat to the Aristocracy, however remote. Any insult, however slight. Any lapse in the deference shown them, however brief. Any curtailment of their unearned privilege, however dire the circumstance that demands it.
No longer are the terms reserved to governments based on the work of Karl Marx, the elimination of private property, state ownership of the means of production, overarching government surveillance and terrorism of its own citizenry, Gosplan-style central planning, collective farms, the “psychological hospitals” for political opponents, the Gulag system, a One Party State, or any of that other Bolshi crap. No one really believes any of that is coming back, and for a very good reason – no one with any sense is advocating a return to any of it.
Would you believe that democracy itself has come to be covered by this idiosyncratic definition? Democracy, Public Education, Labor Unions (of course), Equality, the Rule of Law and the “Regulatory State,” and indeed, the whole idea of a government whose rules must be obeyed by all.

You’re nothing but a PARROT, spouting off the talking points you have been given. You don’t care about the majority of your constituents, who are in the working class, or the harm this current administration is causing to them and their families. You are complicit in the failure of our governments checks and balances.

You know the crazy old man that wears diapers keep saying communism communism communism and you freaking magical cult people just eat it up and slurp it up and kiss his ass even a dirty diaper. A fascist regime oppresses the Press he tries to shut down all opposition. Does that sound familiar? You guys really need to stand up for the Constitution of all the Amendments not just the second amendment. The first the fourth the 12th and the 14th and then maybe use the 25th against the crazy old band that keeps leading you guys astray. Enough is enough! The blue tide is coming.

Oh sweetie, communism is deader than disco in the USA. Find a new boogeyman.

Open a book for God’s sake Mark. Have one of your people read it to you. Stop using big words you don’t know the definition to.

You are a horrible human being and a liar.

You’re just making shit up now? What precisely have you and your party, which controls all three branches of federal government, done to actually help the average American?

Never seen anyone work so hard to get their stupid ass voted out

Your lack of education regarding what communism is is very offensive. Pretending that anything that doesn’t back Trump and MAGA is somehow communist shows how little regard you have for those you claim to represent.
Your dishonesty and ignorance is something that you should be ashamed of.

You want a thumbs up or a frown. If you frown, YOU want people to explain. YOU, the bootlicking clown that never answers anyone’s questions, want people to explain.
Our country has been taken over idiots like you. You are a gutless, unqualified, propaganda machine.

Bingo.

You gotta wonder how people this stupid get elected.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Who elects such imbeciles?

Seriously??? Anything to distract. Do you even know what communism is? SMH

Nobody with half a brain believes your stupid shit.

Marky Mark it’s so sad that you think communism is our big issue. We’re not living in the ’50s we are not going to fall for this garbage.

Didn’t take you long to start pushing the propaganda bull 💩 from your orange 🍊 clown 🤡

No asshole its not. This is pure McCarthyism designed to smear the opposition. Trump is losing badly in the polls. His programs are a joke and the public knows it . He will do anything to stay in power . The old commie card worked well in the fifties so here we go again. And of course unprincipled scoundrels like yourself will play Along not caring a whit how much damage it does.

I don’t know. What does the book titled Unhuman on communism you and the Trump administration are following by Jack Posobeic say?
Don’t insult us with this act of feigned interest in anything we have to say.
Communism is not an issue.
“Far Left Terrorism” is not an issue.
However, Fascism is definitely a problem.
Let’s face that head on by voting your fascist loving ass out of Congress.

First it was the cats and dogs being eaten then antifa and now it’s the communists,scaring people is all you got 😱republicans can’t govern 🖕

There isn’t any communism in America and you sound unbelievably stupid saying so.

No, you made the claim. Prove that communism is taking over. It’s not. Stop pushing the false propaganda.

Go back to the 1950s and McCarthyism, and try to improve your IQ by learning a history lesson. It’s nothing but a red herring.

You are crazy. Find some new material.

My God, this crap is straight out of McCarthyism from the 1950s.

Let’s start very simply with having you tell us the definition of communism? If you can manage that, we will then collectively show you why you’re an idiot.

Mark has so little to offer politically that he is now resorting to resurrecting Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Red Scare tactics to accompany his White Nationalism. This is unAmerican and unacceptable.
[….]

Seriously stop.
There is no communism!!!!
You truly are an clueless idiot
You’re just kissing daddy Trumps ass more and more.
Why do you push these stupid and dangerous lies?
Do you even know whst you are doing and the damage it’s causing?
I mean seriously
Or
You that power hungry that you would sell you would to the devil
You truly are not a Christian.
You should be ashamed of yourself

You are literally the dumbest person in Missouri and that says a lot.

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Alford’s like-hey guys our policies suck so let’s try to gin up a red scare to get votes. Your constituents are too smart to fall for this bs.

You’re so desperate you’re making the Red Scare great again. No real ideas to help make ordinary Americans lives better, so pull out some of scare tactics from the past.

Moron.

In the form of scared masked ICE Agents.
Congressman Mark Alford let’s talk about how Republicans and MAGA have made things worse and quit the imaginary belief it’s the communist fault.
It’s yours. You’re a screamer who makes things worse based on your record.

Where are the communists, Mark?
Please spell out what plans they are pushing that qualifies for that distinction.
You’re a goddamn liar and worthless fearmonger.

Congressman Mark Alford This kind of talk is completely unhinged. Screaming about “communism taking root in American cities” isn’t leadership — it’s paranoia. Anyone who’s this detached from reality shouldn’t be anywhere near a public seat of power. At this point, it’s clear he’s lost his mind, and the responsible thing would be for him to step down immediately, OR VOTE HIM OUT

Alford you and your party have nothing to run on so you are bringing out the boggy man

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 15, 2026]

The Hammer & Sickle wave has taken over the Democrat party.
They are Anti-police. Anti-ICE. Anti-Western Civilization.
It’s incredibly dangerous for our country.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Is the boogie man in the country with us?

As long as there are Republicans…

Yah his name is trump

Yah his name is trump

Franklin D. Roosevelt was frequently called a socialist by his conservative and far-right critics during the 1930s. However, he strongly rejected the label and viewed his New Deal policies not as a shift toward socialism, but as a pragmatic effort to save capitalism by addressing severe economic inequality and preventing a potential revolution.

what he did was lift the country out of a Depression. Just because it helps people doesn’t make socialism evil. Capitalism without regard to the working class is evil.

anti cops come from their own actions.

I needed a good laugh this morning. Keep the Russian influence coming – we all need a joke to start our day.

Ignorance, stupidity and hate on full display. Typical degenerate scumbag loser.

except it’s not funny; it’s hateful and a deliberate effort to smear over 50% of the voters in our country.

This guy is hilarious

Of course he is! …. He’s a REPBLICAN!😂

what a delusional pice of fascist shitbag

Ignorance and hate on full display. Typical degenerate scumbag loser!

They are worried about communism, but they really ought to look up the 14 characteristics of fascism.

Fascism Anyone? – Laurence W. Britt (2003)

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Oh no the Pinkos are back!
You guys are great comedy. I thank you.

Are you serving the people or the Republican party? Instead of spewing the rhetoric the Republican Party has told you to use, maybe you should listen to the constituents of Missouri who elected you to represent them. I am tired of your fear mongering rhetoric and can’t wait to vote you out.

Theyre really really going for the scare angle on the mid terms

Is this the new desperation angle?? Ya’ll, really?

If this The Onion or InfoWars?

Sadly, no.

Inaccurate. But the pro-McCarthy wave is taking over the GOP.

Carry that water, dude.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a Bible. And calling itself MAGA. (see above)

Paint me evil for wanting universal healthcare, paid maternity leave, free college and trade school, protections for workers from wage theft and exploitation, clean water and air, safety, and our freedoms protected.

So the tagline ‘socialist’ wasn’t wording and is now escalated to ‘communist’ – got it.

What crazy label will Republicans use next to attack Democrats?
Republicans control all 3 branches of our government. Wouldn’t be nice if they could use their time to make America a better place to live?

oh no not the red scare…again… because that went so well the first time around lol

Oh, y’all found a new talking point. How cute!

I thought we were ANTIFA??? 😄

This doesn’t sound like communism to me …………Liberals in the United States have historically championed an active government role to promote social welfare, expand civil liberties, and regulate the free market. Their major contributions to the country fall into several foundational areas: Economic and Labor Protections The New Deal (1930s): Instituted under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, this series of programs created Social Security to provide a safety net for the elderly, established the minimum wage, and spurred job creation through programs like the Works Progress Administration. Labor Rights: Legalized the right of workers to form unions and collectively bargain through the National Labor Relations Act. Civil and Voting Rights Civil Rights Act of 1964: Passed under President Lyndon B. Johnson, this landmark legislation legally ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Voting Rights Act of 1965: Prohibited racial discrimination …

You are hilarious! Let’s cry “red menace”… that will move public opinion.

Old playbook won’t work

Projecting much?

I was a preteen in the 50s, but I remember my mom was locked on those hearings daily. When McCarthy was finally called out, it sounded like a baseball stadium in our neighborhood.

The “red menace” myth again!🤣 That dog don’t hunt.

Anti western civilisation? OMG we are doomed, doomed I say.

I’m 63 years old, and I’ve been hearing about “communism” taking over our country for as long as I remember. It’s a scare tactic that is used to intimidate when things aren’t going their way. Those of us who are educated and intelligent know that. It’s the same old, same old. The only enemy we face, right now, is the current administration. Period.

Did not have “attempt to recreate the Red Scare” on my 2026 bingo card

Maybe the senator should be anti-lying?

This idiot is such an embarrassment.

A lot of well reasoned and intelligent responses to this ridiculous post. I can’t add anything extra so I will just say ‘piss off Eric’.

When was the last time you actually had an original thought instead of just regurgitating shite….

Does he have a list of names?

The Red Scare bit is many decades out of date.

. . . Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Studies show that the states and counties with worst quality of life are governed by Republicans. Tickle down economics is a monumental failure. Drastic change has to happen, and moderation ain’t going to cut it.

“We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our own history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular…. There is no way for a citizen of the Republic to abdicate his responsibility.”
― Edward R. Murrow

The things people say instead of just saying the truth; they truly only want two classes in society, the rich and the poor

What are you afraid of Eric?

Now affordability and expanding public services are “hammer and sickle” policies?

Wow you make them sound so cool

Heh.

Wine makes everything funnier

Heh.

I don’t know why these people think anyone is taking them seriously. It’s like they think we’re stupid or something.

Sadly, yes.

Right because expecting OUR HARD EARNED TAX MONEY to come back to *us* in the form of services and not just be siphoned off by billionaires is just *so* unreasonable. 🙄

When I see the inversion of truth, where lies are presented as facts, I feel compelled to interact. The entire Republican platform falls under the category of “inversion of truth”. The deliberate reversal of reality, where truth is branded as falsehood and lies are presented as fact, essentially turning moral or factual, truths upside down. It is a form of manipulation or propaganda where, for example, evil is labeled good, or aggression is portrayed as defense.

Everyone’s laughing at you Eric.

I saw some unicorns, a few pigs flying by, and it might’ve been a cow jumping over the moon last night, but I still haven’t seen any people pushing for communism. Anyone else?

Are they in the room with us now?

Gaslighting at its finest.

Oh my, be Communist is not enough! Now we are against Western Culture too! Hilarious 😂

I would be ashamed if this kind of crap came out of my mouth. Apparently you failed your history class

I’m so scared

Awww! Might cut into the grift.

Nutcase

Oh my god, how dare anyone propose helping the poor and elderly, making health care affordable, making the obscenely wealthy pay appropriate taxes, ensuring freedom of and from religion…it is far too anti-evil to be considered…

What are you, 3 years old? Get a grip mini-McCarthy.

Do these Republicans really believe this shit?

It’s hard to tell.

Let’s resurrect the old republican playbook of McCarthyism. Because that worked so well, the first time

we are also anti-propaganda

Oh, come on!! This is what we’re going with now? Pathetic.

I get to live through a pandemic AND another red scare, oh what a time to be alive

You people are so fucking desperate it is unreal.

This guy is an idiot!!! Helping the GOP demagogues to establish another boogeyman for the cowardly GOP electorate. Schmitt contributes nothing to this nation but GOP bullshit.

And on and on….

Mark Alford (r): gone fishin’

Mark Alford (r) [2022 file photo].

This morning:

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 14, 2026]

The fight for the SAVE America Act isn’t over.
Protecting our elections starts with common-sense measures like voter ID and proof of citizenship, because only Americans should decide America’s future.
[….]

Some of the responses:

You don’t have to have a passport to be a US citizen. When I renew my passport every ten years, that is an unnecessary hassle. Last time I drove to Hot Springs AR and got it done in one day. There is not very much election fraud in the US, there is more noise about election fraud by Republicans to keep the Epstein files out of the news cycle. What is sad that another country is going to be the one to release the Epstein files.

The congressman asks:
“Why would anyone be against that”. I’m going to answer for you all, now.
The Save Act cannot be a law and either Alford knows this, or he rightly should be shamed for this level of rank incompetence. In either case, it is an unforgivable breach of the public trust places in the seat that has been the voice of West Central Missouri for over 100 years.
Here are the facts:
In 2013, the Supreme court decided the case of Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. (570 U.S. 1). In that ruling, Antonin Scalia wrote the majority opinion clarifying the Qualifications and the Elections clauses stating, and I quote:
​”The Elections Clause empowers Congress to regulate how federal elections are held, but not who may vote in them.”
And then, just to make sure you know, he backed it up with the hammer:
​”Prescribing voting qualifications is the ‘States’ exclusive prerogative’ under the Constitution.”
If Alford or any MAGA party leader was at all serious about this, they would be making the case with proof of illegitimate voting in the most recent elections where the MAGA party secured unified government control. They would then easily be able to get the 2/3 majority vote in both houses that a constitutional amendment requires.
Instead Alford is pushing this fantasy test-bill that would immediately be knocked down by the Supremes. And for what? It’s a fantasy that Alford and the entire MAGA party is wallowing in, and it’s frankly boring and pathetic.

You’re over.

Alford admitted the same at his coffee meeting in Raymore. He mentioned 1 incident where a dead person received a ballot in the mail in, drumroll please, California. He is aware of the data proof yet online is a different story.

Hey Mark, how many non citizens voted in the last 30 years worth of presidential elections?

Was your election legitimate without the save act?

try doing something productive. health care, for example.

Can you please provide documented and vetted evidence of the election fraud and corruption this act will target? How rampant is the problem?

They can’t

What part of – ONLY U.S. CITIZENS ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS – don’t you understand Mr. Alford ?? !

You didn’t object to your win, did you Mark Alford.

Funny how the party that is currently in control of the govern is screaming about election fraud.

Under the SAVE Act, you cannot use your driver’s license to register to vote,” Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois said March 19 on X. “Republicans want you to buy a passport instead. If you can afford one. This is a modern-day poll tax.”

Its a poll tax. Its over

Putz.

Congressman Mark Alford, by insisting that U.S. elections have Not been secure you are implying that the only reason Republicans have won the majority in Congress and the White House is because the elections were rigged for Republicans to win.
Which is it, Congressman: are U.S. elections secure or did Republicans rig the elections so they win???

You control all three branches of government by winning elections. How in world can you cry foul? If elections are so bad, then how did you ever get elected? Take your time, just explain this, we are all waiting.

No, Americans do not want the SAVE TRUMP’S ASS voter suppression bill. You just don’t want to look for a real job come November.

Tell me you hate women without telling me that you hate women.

Are you really this stupid?

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

If there is widespread voter fraud by Democrats, why does the GOP control the Presidency and both houses of Congress?! That really doesn’t sound like a Democrat master plan.

If the election process is failed then you and everyone else in office up to the White House are not in office rightfully

This bullshit bill is dead. Give it a rest already maybe pull your head out of trumps ass and actually do your job for once sleepy mark.

Why didn’t you appeal your own win congressman if the system is broken and rigged you can’t be legit ? No one can ever anwser that

Is your job up at mid terms Alford? Cause you’re pretty much out of touch with the real world.

Shut up. Just shut up. Multiple studies, investigations and ridiculous lawsuits have tried and FAILED to find any voter fraud. Fewer than 30 cases of people voting when they shouldn’t have. And a couple of those were REPUBLICANS FAKING RESIDENCY. So Shut Up Piggy.

mark alford is working hard to suppress your vote
Only a minuscule amount (0.00000764%) of the vote was found to be fraudulent per the conservative heritage foundation
mark is making up unreal problems while ignoring the real ones
mark is delusional from wearing orange tinted glasses

TRUMP-LICKING, VOTER SUPPRESSING, MAGA NAZI ASSCLOWN

Stop trying to deny legally eligible people their voting rights
For someone who has something to say about everything, you won’t admit the so called save act will cause women to be denied their vote.
That is ridiculous and you know it. Just because Trump is always looking for ways to cheat doesn’t mean you have to go against 4th district residents!

Nobody is too dumb to get the id they need. It’s just we shouldn’t have to go through hoops to do so. Nobody is crying about ids except Republicans. In everything Republicans do to try to make sure they win is cheating. Gerrymandering. Hoping no one gets the paperwork they need to take to vote. The drama queens turn it around like people are too stupid to vote. But the truth is the people believing it and posting the lies about it are the ones that’s going to be the cheaters in any election. So when you’ve changed things and put your citizens through hoops to vote and you still lose….what are you gonna blame it on? If you win it’s great but when you lose someone rigged it. You guys are the only ones cheating and you know it.

FFS! Solution in search of a problem. You are a traitor to this country!!

It’s a poll tax and illegal. Abolish the electoral college that way every individual Americans vote would actually count. One Person. One Vote. A person would think that if these grifters had any good ideas, policies or any legislation whatsoever that would benefit all Americans that they would want everybody to vote. Apparently fear mongering, lying, cheating, stealing and always playing the victim doesn’t sell. Their disdain for the American people is on display every day.😎

Go fuck yourself

Are you really that immersed and right wing prop paganda , that you think we can’t see what’s going on?? Trump knows that he can’t win the next election without rigging the system. Ask per usual , trump’s accusations are actually confessions.

A non problem. Work on our country’s real problems, useless.

You mean the rig america act.

Only Americans do, liar.

Stop beating this dead horse. It’s not going to ever pass.

Mark Alford is a pathetic little tool promoting MAGAt lies. The so called SAVE act is just Trumpspeak for voter suppression. Non-citizens do not vote. They do work, pay taxes and contribute to the economy of our community.

Nothing to see here folks…. Just Mark trying to sell us on a voter suppression act…. Meanwhile no comment from Mark condemning the latest murder at the hands of ICE…. # do better Congressman Mark Alford

Fascists are all about election manipulation. Right before an important election you want to change the rules.

Yes, yes Mark we know you support voter suppression. It is very clear that you can’t win a free and fair election, and your elderly orange billionaire already said the quiet part out loud. He clearly told us in his speech that he needs the save act to game the system so that the Republicans will not lose for 100 years.
You are so anti-American and a traitor to our constitution.

Our elections are already secure. This bill is garbage.

Congressman Mark Alford this isn’t going to pass you idiot. Your wasting time on this much as you wasted on the Bad Bunny halftime show investigation. You’re worthless. FU 🖕

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 10, 2026]

💥@POTUS has worked tirelessly to ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!
We must finish the job & deliver for the American people.👇
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

You are parroting and praising a man in mental decline that should not be in charge of any military. This is just making us less safe, spending a $billion per day wasting our money and bankrupting our country.
You are so weak, Mark.
Your constituents never wanted this war.

I live in Missouri. I am totally opposed to this War

Pick up a weapon and take your 63 year old ass over there and assume a post.

Have you noticed that Trump has contradicted himself dozens of times as to whether there is a war, the U.S. has won the war, the war is over, there has been regime change, the new people in charge in Iran are crazy or reasonable, the Strait is open, the U.S. is going to start bombing again, and/or whether there is a peace deal? Is that what you call peace through strength?

Did you forget that trump TORE UP the Nuclear Treaty (JCPOA) that Obama signed that guaranteed Iran would NOT gain enough for a weapon??? Part of the treaty was to return the money Iran paid for planes in 1975 BEFORE the overthrow they NEVER received!!

Go enlist, Mark.

VOTE ALFORD OUT!!!

I’m right there with you. I live in Missouri and I will never vote for any Trump bootlicker, and Mark Alford is one of the biggest Trump ass kisser there is.

Try reality for a change.

Ouch. That one left a mark….

Sure, Mark. Get right on that.

🤡 & Full Of 💩 (Propaganda)

So-called peace through strength doesn’t work. What it does is cause resentment and resistance. Strong-arming does not create a lasting peace.

So explain, if we have obliterated their military capabilities, I lost track how many times, how is it they are still fighting?

When does the peace start?

“Anything War can do, Peace can do better”

Trump had an exit plan from Vietnam. What’s his exit plan from Iran? The goal?

He started this whole thing. Bitch, please…

You sir are a disgrace you need to resign

Wonder how many rounds of golf trump has played since this war started (tirelessly?)

Is he protecting us from the Islamic Republic of Japan?

Mark, your posts are getting more pathetic every day! Your posts are getting more laughs than likes! Can’t wait to vote you out!

Mark Alford (r) [2022 file photo].

I guess you did not read what the Obama signed and trump got us out. Obama got everything thing that trump can not

B.S.

Of course this 🤡 loves Trump—because Trump loves unqualified television personalities going into politics. 😑

So tirelessly that he falls asleep all the time! Such a schmuck!

You are such a flipping idiot. But thanks for the daily laughs

You’re so full of b*******

Peace by starting a war? Interesting how you flipped that around. 🙄

He has worked tirelessly to make himself rich, to destroy the environment, to start wars like he’s a 5 year old playing with toy soldiers, just for his ego, and destroying lives for no reason. He is deplorable and you are just as bad for enabling him rather than standing up to him. You are setting yourself up for a sure loss at the polls in November.

Remember when hypocrite Trump said no more wars and we’re not the world’s police. That was after Mexico was paying for the wall but before eliminating the Russia war on day 1.

Congressman Mark Alford, nobody with human compassion should feel proud to be a warmonger. Only political sycophants, military industrialists, and investors in weapons manufacturers applaud war. And just so we’re clear on one of your favorite idioms, peace is NOT achieved by the false notion that military action = strength. Peace is literally the absence of war.

Kill for Peace! Destroy for Peace! Yay!

Potus has worked tirelessly to make money for himself and to make America the number 1 sponsor of global terror. He clearly cant stand peace and loves war and conflict.

Peace through strength⁉️ POTUS and Hegseth have been dropping bombs on Iran for months now, declaring peace at hand over 30 times. Iran has been a threat for decades, but has never attacked American soil. But Trump started this war anyway without provocation. We had peace until Trump broke it. As for Mark? Not a peep about it, no questions asked as to why and to what end. The 4th Congressional District deserves a Representative who doesn’t automatically smooch the President’s derrière.

It amazes me how you people can lie like this with a straight face

Isn’t it, tho? I cannot fathom the complete and total lack of any morals or integrity in this man. Look at him. Look at him lie; he knows he’s lying and he does it anyway like clockwork.
Look at him vote constantly AGAINST the people for the more, more, more the rich demand, even when those laws he passed kill people and destroy lives and livelihoods – and the country.
I can’t get past how lacking his upbringing must have been for him to be this way, and how he obviously learned nothing about being a good person on his way to adulthood. But then again, that goes hand in hand with the charges of abusing a horse to the point it was taken away from him, and the numerous abuse claims filed against him at the station for his abuse of the women he worked with.
Just a shit human, in other words. Alford isn’t remotely qualified to hold office. #UnfitToServe

When you say these dumbass catchphrases of the week do you even notice how dumb you sound saying them out loud
“Peace through strength”😑

Trump starts a war he doesn’t know how to finish
News at eleven

Finish what job?
What was the objective to begin with?
Netanyahu punked Trump., plain and simple.

Finish the job? What job has he ever finished? Doge? Reflecting pool? Lower healthcare costs? Lower prescription drug costs? Lower food costs? Lower utility costs? Knowing the names of world leaders? Capping credit card interest at 10%? Reduce the debt? Your guy is petty, emotionally reactive, and a prime example of corruption. He nor you is intelligent enough to “finish the job”.

Liar.you are trying to destroy our voting rights and you have already voted to cut our health care when you voted to cut almost nine hundred billion dollars from medicaid and that will be devastating to americans

I thought the Iranian military was obliterated, twice??

I think you meant chaos by ego.

An unprovoked attack is not peace through strength.
There was a deal in place to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, but your beloved felon tore it up rather than negotiating the new terms.

What does finish the job mean? Kill everybody in Iran? Make Iran look like Gaza. What?

“Peace through strength” is another Orwellian bullshit phrase…
-War is Peace
-Freedom is Slavery
-Ignorance is Strength
Those of us who actually read and paid attention in school know this, Little Markie.
Trump has FAILED, miserably.
AND, he’s wasting billions of our tax dollars.
How about our healthcare, asshole?

You are a fucking liar

Working so hard that he still can’t end the unnecessary war he chose to start?
What an ‘art of the deal’. Lol
And you’re telling him what a great job he’s doing?
You hack

The convicted felon is not signing the housing bill in protest. You are pathetic

“No more war for profit”
