This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
We don’t need government shutdowns again.

We need our kids in school, our businesses open, and Americans back to work.
[….]
8:43 AM · Nov 29, 2021

A few of the responses:

The Association of Funeral Homes and Crematoriums approves this message.

So there are no shutdowns planned, and instead of being proactive in the very unlikely scenario that they do happen, you are gaslighting with no plan of action. That’s sounds about right. Just like last time.

If we can get everyone vaccinated, we can devote more resources to other areas. My MIL is in Vandy Medical & has to wait for her biopsy because the hospital is slammed w/ unvaccinated Covid patients. GOP, Fox, Q, Trumpers… all of you are to be blamed.

And now, the truth.

1) No shut downs are being planned
2) Thanksgiving day spending set a record at 5.1 billion
3) Inflation is a global consequence of the pandemic, not a political economic package that hasn’t even gone into action yet.

Y’know what helps with that? Masks and vaccines.

It really will be okay if we all do our part to help.

God forbid this group of GOP hustlers ever does anything proactive.

No one is shutting anything down. Maybe if Republican voters would wear masks and get vaccinated our situation would improve.[….]

But Republicans excel at government shutdowns. Y’all didn’t pass a budget from 2011-2015.

Then you should encourage your Deplorables to do the right things. Mask up, get vaccinated, etc. And then support civil penalties for not doing these *simple* things. Levy fines and/or ban people from public places.

Just saying “we don’t need this” doesn’t HELP.

yes, let’s ignore the virus, that’s been working really well so far

Then maybe the cult should get vaccinated and wear masks instead of being outraged at literally everything

The Omicron variant & the pandemic would like to have a word in this.

Which is exactly the reason we NEED those vaccine mandates. That would ensure that MOST of the kids and workers would be safe at school or work.

What if we learn the omicron variant is more deadly than the delta variant?

As a proud pro-life person, you must know doing nothing will lead to more death and suffering.

Are you really “pro-life”?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result

Everyone wants the virus to go away. You can’t think of anything to do but blame others. Thanks for nothing.

Any member of Congress who talks about getting kids back to school, businesses open and Americans back to work and doesn’t encourage vaccinations is a fraud. But we already knew that about you.

Like meat? Too bad, cause this bill taxes cow farts, costing farmers and ranchers over $6,500 per cow. This is the DC Democrats’ message to rural America.

This morning in west central Missouri:

“Let’s Go Brandon” – a right wingnut meme for “Fuck Joe Biden”.

Brandon does get things done.

Finally: “Infrastructure Week – Part 1” (November 6, 2021)

Joe Biden (D) [2020 file photo].

President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

Congress pass­ed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. For far too long, Washington policymakers have celebrated “infrastructure week” without ever agreeing to build infrastructure. The President promised to work across the aisle to deliver results and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. After the President put forward his plan to do exactly that and then negotiated a deal with Members of Congress from both parties, this historic legislation is moving to his desk for signature.

This Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind. The legislation will help ease inflationary pressures and strengthen supply chains by making long overdue improvements for our nation’s ports, airports, rail, and roads. It will drive the creation of good-paying union jobs and grow the economy sustainably and equitably so that everyone gets ahead for decades to come. Combined with the President’s Build Back Framework, it will add on average 1.5 million jobs per year for the next 10 years.

“…Graves added he felt Missouri was receiving ‘less than we should be getting.’…”

Think about that for just a second or two.

He didn’t vote for the bill.

H R 3684 YEA-AND-NAY 5-Nov-2021 11:24 PM
QUESTION: On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment
BILL TITLE: INVEST in America Act

—- YEAS 228 —

Cleaver

—- NAYS 206 —

Bush
Graves (MO)
Hartzler
Long
Luetkemeyer
Smith (MO)
Wagner

[….]

[emphasis added]

Planning for those ribbon cutting photo-ops in the district:

Officials review what infrastructure bill means for Northeast Missouri
[….]

U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, R-Tarkio, said he didn’t support the bill because the positive aspects of the bill are overshadowed by not laying out how it will be paid for. He said he wished a bipartisan solution could have been reached, noting the legislation would fuel further inflation and supply chain issues.

“There’s some good things in the bill, but they didn’t come up with a real way to pay for it which is the real problem with this bill,” Graves said. “They slapped some budget gimmicks in there and called it a day.

“That’s going to fuel more inflation and contribute to the rising prices we’re already seeing under President Biden, which is only increasing the price to fill up your car or feed the extended family on Thanksgiving. We can’t afford that right now.”

Graves recommended constituents in his district reach out to local leaders as well as his office. He stressed his door is always open to hear comments and concerns.

“Much like the way they are accustomed to requesting federal money, folks will need to work through MoDOT and other state agencies, as well as the federal grant process. I didn’t support the bill because of the costs, but I’m going to fight to make sure Hannibal and the rest of North Missouri gets its fair share. If local leaders have a project in mind, my office is always available to answer any questions they might have. It’s been that way before this bill passed and it will always be that way.”

Graves added he felt Missouri was receiving “less than we should be getting.”

“Missouri is slated to get $8 billion out of $1.2 trillion. We make up 1.8% of the U.S. population. We got the short end of the stick,” he said.

[….]

“…We got the short end of the stick…”

Chutzpah.

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Who is being hit the worst by inflation in Biden’s America?

Hardworking middle Americans.
[….]
8:52 AM · Nov 18, 2021

That’s a loud dog whistle you got there.

“Middle Americans” don’t live in Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin, or California?

Some of the responses:

How did the Child Tax Credit hurt hard working Americans?

Is expanding broadband in rural America hurting rural Missourians?

In the meantime, what is your solution?

For those that do not have access to the complete WSJ article that the graphic above comes from, they reference COVID recovery, supply chain issues, and shortages as the cause for the inflation. Again, the President’s name is not mentioned there once.

Your estimated maximum net worth is $15-million (2018). You took PPP funds to “keep the farm employees paid”. When you were critiqued about it, your only response was “it’s not illegal”. While that is a true answer, it proves you don’t deserve the professional position you have.

How nice of you to highlight that the states under GOP Rule are struggling in every way possible.
By the way could you list for us (anything) you have accomplished during the decades you have been a government employee?? I didn’t think so. #HartzlerIsWrong4MO

Maybe if they didn’t just tell “hardworking middle Americans” they needed to sacrifice their health and livelihoods during the pandemic and keep the spread going, this wouldn’t be happening. But you know, blame is your game. Not solutions. [….]

Not sure that someone who’s paid $174k a year to mean tweet is an expert on hardworking Americans.

I mean, I see states that have predominantly GOP legislatures that have resisted any federal intervention in this economy are being hit the hardest. There may be an exception or two but not many. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

What exactly have you done to help? It’s a rhetorical question because you haven’t done squat

Who is being hit the worst from the GOPs 2017 tax giveaway to the top 1% ? Hardworking middle class Americans like most of your constituents. As well as the debt the GOP rolled up that they are now concerned with.

And, despite what you may think, tweeting about it will not solve it.

It’s all she can do. She cannot do anything outside of a photo op without permission.

Gas prices are down, jobs are up, market is up, port congestion is easing, and someone needs to educate Vicky on that fact that inflation is being impacted on a global level. Hartzler should just stick to her little meetings with Gosar, Greene, Gaetz, and the other traitors

What do you mean by Biden’s America. Are you not an AMERICAN. Or are you a QTrumplican.

Hasn’t your solution in the past to those hardworking Americans was to pull themselves up by their own boot straps? While you took hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars.

There’s that.

Funny, lots of other countries are having the same shortages and record increases.
That tells me, you’re an ignorant, uninformed, myopic jerk,
and you’re prone to tell lies.

There’s that.

He doth protest too much, methinks

4:22 PM · Nov 18, 2021

What an asshole.

Some of the reponses:

Last month I filed a sunshine request on your travel expenses for 2021. I was told it would arrive by today. It still hasn’t arrived yet. Do I need to file a lawsuit against the AG’s office?

That’s so funny. Why don’t you comply w the Sunshine Law that you’re being sued for?

“I know all the words that trip Republicans.”

The irony of this tweet is Eric, we might not have even noticed it or used it as a source because Editorial pieces are opinion most of the time. However, as the author laces in so many facts, it is fairly detrimental to you. I personally like the quote:

“Schmitt, like any other citizen, has the right to view those public records. But making a show out of demanding them, as if they’re some kind of smoking gun that he’s gallantly exposing, is almost as silly as his China lawsuit.”

What’s next? Shouting at the moon? Go on now!

Interesting timing.

Honestly you seem exhausting

Perhaps if you did actual work instead of nothing but pandering stunts for your campaign we’d believe you. However you have cried wolf and tilted at too many windmills for us to believe you any longer. Your credibility is so low you could only impress. (that’s an insult FYI).

Over 12,000 dead Missourians and you want still more of us to die. What a sick sociopath you are.

Don’t be like Eric.

He never did get out of junior high school.

Some of the responses:

Why are you like this

See above.

Go on, say it. Be a man. Decipher it. Shout you profanities before your voters. Before your children. Before your god.

That’s the thing. They’re not quite brave enough to say it. Why not? We all know what they’re implying. So just go ahead and say it @Eric_Schmitt if you’re brave enough.

Not even hiding the grift.

There’s that, too.

Grifting.

Another perfect example of even stupid people can be elected

I guess some Democrats are outraged by this weird meme, but as “fuck Joe Biden” is really the only plank of your campaign platform, you should probably just say it. You’re going to confuse people.

You truly are a little man.

What’s the secret code for Fuck Eric Schmitt? I mean, I’m not too much of a pussy to say the real thing.

Grow up.

Your character, or lack of character is on display. This kind of behavior from our elected official is disturbing and illuminates how unfit you are for the position you hold.

You’re so pathetically desperate.

Disgusting to see someone sell himself in this manner.

Jesus so unoriginal can’t even come up with your own tag line or a winning lawsuit. Missouri can do better than this worthless garbage

You are fucking pathetic, I’m embarrassed for your family

Parents’ Bill of Rights is needed to combat Left’s indoctrination of students
[….]
10:17 AM · Nov 15, 2021

Just a few of the comments:

I wish you took school shootings this seriously.

Gotta protect Grandma’s right to keep her grandkids from finding out what which side she was on in the 60s

What in the world are you talking about? My #Missouri teachers taught me about Laura Ingalls Wilder.

If Josh lived in Missouri he probably would know that.

Or not. The knowing part.

Josh, can you please share a list of actual obstacles preventing me from engaging with my child’s school district’s teachers, administrators and staff?

I am really tired of your lies. I am a public school teacher. Come to my classroom, I am more concerned with getting students to read and write proficiently. Who has time to indoctrinate?

It’s projection. Josh Hawley (r) wants indoctrination.

Funny, I don’t have a problem engaging with my school district. Of course I don’t feel the need to threaten the school board members, the faculty or the superintendent either. Maybe your groupies should learn to have conversations instead of using threats of violence.

Teaching America’s uncomfortable truths is not indoctrination.

Ridiculous. If you want to white-up & man-up history, don’t do it at my kid’s expense. I want my kids to know what really happened, ESPECIALLY the bad stuff, so it doesn’t happen again. Are you trying to hide past discrimination so you can introduce it again? Or burn some books?

Well, not his book.

Your attack on edu is just another subversive effort to dismantle edu (for control, obviously)
Good parenting should go a long way in buffering children from whatever they may encounter outside the house, where ever they may encounter it. So just step up your parenting game.

Yes- history and science are so scary. People who don’t learn those things are what is wrong with this country

Please produce a single set of CRT curriculum materials.

Sir, if you could get the parents interested in their children’s education that would be great.
Signed,
Every Teacher in the Country

Show us on the doll where information hurt you, Josh.

Why don’t you introduce a bill to combat insurrections on the Capitol?

This is all in your head. It’s a false narrative. Meanwhile, billions of dollars are headed to Missouri to improve our infrastructure.

The stuff he didn’t vote for?

[….] Should Arabic Numerals be taught in school?

Heh.

We can hardly get kids to write their names on their papers. This whole thing is ridiculous and one more insult to educators everywhere

Don’t forget to include our right not to be abducted by space aliens. Also, I think green leafy vegetables should be outlawed.

So..education is indoctrination…wow

When you’re afraid of school education, maybe it’s you that’s out of touch?

Parents already have these rights. They just have to care enough to ask.

WTH?

Apparently, it’s not considered indoctrination when schools ONLY teach subjects that conservatives like Hawley want taught in schools.[….]

Bashing teachers didn’t work. Mandatory testing didn’t work. How else will the Republicans privatize schools and collect the cash?

Stay tuned.

Teaching facts and the truth about our history isn’t indoctrination. You always accuse others of the things you’re doing yourself. Attempting to restrict education is the real indoctrination and that’s exactly what you’re trying to do. We see through your lies.

Josh, get positively bent.

Only in crazy GQP land is learning science, history and math considered “indoctrination”.

You sink lower all the time. How can you look in the mirror at yourself?

Easy.

Politicizing Parenting is a losing proposition and smacks of desperation! I’m guessing that your previous attempt to make “Masculinity” your platform failed! Now onto the next thing to become relevant.

Fear Mongering hatriot spreads more lies.

It’s in his nature.

“…a focal point for protests…”

It’s part of the brand.

On the scene.

Trump’s controversial hotel in D.C. will reportedly be sold and renamed
November 15, 2021 11:56 AM ET

Former President Donald Trump’s company has agreed to sell its Trump International Hotel operation in Washington, D.C., according to multiple reports. The deal is said to be worth $375 million and will result in the Trump name being removed from the landmark property that stands close to the White House.

[….]

The Trump International Hotel location opened on Pennsylvania Avenue in the fall of 2016, just a few months before Trump was inaugurated. It quickly became known as an enclave for Republican allies of Trump, as well as a focal point for protests against the president.

[….]

$375,000,000.00, eh? Must be nice.

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