Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 15, 2026]

🎓 It’s Education Freedom Week. ⏰
Every child is different. Every family is different.
So why should every student have the same path? Do you think there should be more parental school choice…yes or no?
Let us know by commenting below. 👇
[….]

Yes, he went there.

Some of the responses:

Families can already choose. If they want an exclusive school and not a public school they have a choice to pay for it.

Taxpayer funds shouldn’t be used for homeschooling or private schools. And rural people don’t have any option other than severely underfunded public schools.

School choice is just that: Schools choose their students. Parents choice is limited to schools that will accept their child. Public schools have to serve every student , private schools can refuse to admit a child for any reason they choose (generally excludes kids with mental or physical disability, low academic performance, misbehavior, parents religious beliefs, sexual orientation of child or parent
). Families in rural areas have little to no choice as there is no nearby private school. Public money is for educating the public, not just selected groups. Public schools are accountable for government money and student performance, private schools are not. Missouri’s public schools are underfunded based on the state’s own funding formula yet it found 60 MILLION $ to pay for private school tuition.

A vote for mark Alford is a vote for Donald Trump

Keep the money in public schools, where they are needed most to ensure all children can get an education. Trying to privatize it to put more money into the wealthy pockets is not “for the people”

No, I think children should all be taught a curriculum grounded in truth and not religion or right wing fear mongering or history denial

Vouchers are for private education only. According to the Herzog foundation a household of 4 can make up to $178,433 to qualify for voucher money. A household of 4 making $61,051 makes too much for reduced public school lunch. Also, the state again today voted to decrease public school funding even more. Over 80% of our kids attend public school. Thanks for your continued non support of public education.

Here’s your education on how this works dumb dumb, as if you dont know. You give parents a voucher to go seek an education wherever that family chooses. Private institutions will simply raise tuition rates to continue to keep out undesirable students or close registration because they cant handle the influx. Urban districts will see a mass exodus to neighboring district that also won’t be able to handle the influx and will shutter neighborhood schools in KC and St Louis. Lastly, private schools do not have to honor IEP’s or 504’s for students that need these accommodations, again forcing them to get a compromised education or stay in a situation that their public school has already been defunded. I terms that you understand, “vouchers bad”, free, funded public education good…

Let me choose where my tax dollars are going to! Not private schools!

Every family can choose. Not every family has choices in their area. As you are a representative to rural Missourians, you should probably understand that already.

Study after study has shown the primary beneficiaries of vouchers are already enrolled in private schools.

So when are the debates going to be Mark?

There are Lots of little towns that are held together by their public school in Alfords district. Once they are gone, the town will go with it. Nobody will build a private school in Osceola, niangua, fair play, or rich hill. Those towns would dry up and blow away without their local public school.

Make America educational ranking continue to plummet -as GOP destroys standards. Are we great yet?

Families have always had the right to choose. They’ve been doing it for decades. You’re creating a problem to justify funneling public funds to Christian schools for affluent families.

The only “education freedom” Alford seeks is the freedom for the wealthy to get tax payer funds to help send their kids to private schools while everyone else has their schools underfunded and their kids can’t get a proper education.

I think you’ve done enough to derail education for the day. Maybe give it a rest and come back tomorrow.

Just in time to see Missouri not fully fund public schools again. What a sad backwoods group of legislatures competing with Mississippi.

Quit spewing stupid crap. Families have always been able to choose. Tax dollars pay for public schools. Period. End of story.

THEY CAN CHOOSE!!! Just as long as they pay for their OWN PRIVATE SCHOOLS!
You’re NOT gonna make the taxpayers pay for PRIVATE SCHOOLS, which teach Christian Nationalism.
That’s what this is all about, Little Markie.
Stop trying to shove it down our throats.

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 11, 2026]

25 years ago, 9/11 changed our country forever.
Confronted with unimaginable tragedy, we united like never before. It’s time to find that unity again.
We will #NeverForget. [….]

Some of the responses:

Then we need a leader who speaks and models unification and not hate and division.

Meanwhile at the Pentagon 9/11 ceremony Trump naps. Oh sleepy Donold!

Alford is a divider.

He’s a glib bastard! Check your rings, watches, and wallet. Fair Warning

You have done nothing but sowed division in this country.
How dare you use the memory of this tragedy to spout unity.
This country will spend years after November recovering from the damage you have inflicted.

And lapdogs like Marky have divided this Country 
 POS

Mark Alford….Republican Terrorist….soon to be a greeter at Walmart with any luck.

Your party voted AGAINST helping the first responders- Mark you are a jerk

What a joke that YOU are calling for unity!

You shill.

You are going to have to change your ways deeply to find unity

Screwing farmers, ranchers, the poor, seniors and middle class is the big reason we probably never will.

Well do your job! Patsy

That’s because you and the maga fuckers messed it up

We’re you there also, Donnie said he was there carried by fireman, tell us is that true?

If 9/11 happened today, The democrats would support the hijackers

There’s that “unity” thing for you.

We will never be united again until Donald Trump and his gofers like Mark Alford are in our rearview mirror.

Congressman Mark Alford , if you want to find that unity again stop bending over every time the president does something that negatively affects your constituents —- tariffs that have upset the world economy; starting a war that has disrupted the flow of oil (raising costs for fertilizer and gasoline and diesel fuel); approving tax cuts for the ultra wealthy while cutting Medicaid, SNAP and public education).

You divide…thats all you do

We welcome all centrist Democrats, independents, conservatives, libertarians, those with no political affiliation and patriots to join us in voting Republican for common sense government and to help stop leftist extremism, socialism and communism from destroying our wonderful democratic republic. [….]

Are the leftist extremists, socialist, and communists in the room with you right now?

Mark your a good man to put up with the TDS you get from the socialists on here

Apparently they’re all on this social media page.

Jordan J Herrera
But you’re promoting the war Iran, which is the same exact thing. It’s a weapon of mass destruction war with limited information, very little evidence to support the claims. And absolutely no mission planning or strategy or way to get us out of it.
This is a wolf and sheep clothing if I’ve ever seen one. He definitely will rob the henhouse to pay the fox. And he’s already doing that. He’s supporting bills and voting for measures. That absolutely hurt each and every one of us here in Missouri.

Don’t forget that this man supports Trump when we vote in November. The president that is supported by white supremacists. You can’t support Trump and want Americans to be united.

We are not the same country since 6 January

I don’t know, everyone seems pretty united in the comments. They all think you’re a joke.

Thanks to Republicans, 25 years later, the world will no longer come to our aid or defense.

You’re preaching coming together yet every other message out of your mouth is about how the Democrats are bad and that anybody on the left is the enemy so maybe walk the walk before you run your mouth.

SO YOU STARTED A FOREVER WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST BASED ON PROJECT 2025. #FU

If you want us to unite, then stop being so divided stop fighting against the people for millionaires and billionaires, and a president who senile and dysfunctional

It’s sad that the nazi propaganda machine of the democrats can’t even show respect for the American people on the remembrance of this tragedy.

Unity, it’s what’s for breakfast…

It caused our nation to ultimately abandon our values and become a nation that installed a dictator and his crotch sniffing cronies like alford

Gee, I wonder who created the division? Look in the mirror you craven, spineless, bigoted clown.

True. But your words daily do not reflect uniting each other. You represent only the people who voted for you, MAGA.

Just stop. Everyday you find a way to divide America.

Yeah, because you guys use hate and division and allow Trump to publicly flout the law.

The leader of your party is an adjudicated fraud. He lies like most people breathe. He sows hate and division like no one since Nixon. Fuck you.

5th Congressional District, gerrymandering, HB 1, Missouri Supreme Court, Redistricting, Rick Brattin, right wingnut, SC101805, Trump sycophant, whining

Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

Yesterday, after the Missouri Supreme Court overturned the right wingnut controlled General Assembly’s and right wingnut Governor Mike Kehoe’s hyper-partisan gerrymander of congressional districts for the 2026 general election:

Rick Brattin for Congress
[….]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEPTEMBER 3, 2026

Rick Brattin Releases Statement on Missouri Supreme Court Decision in von Glahn v. Hoskins

(JEFFERSON CITY, MO) – State Senator Rick Brattin has released the following statement regarding the Missouri Supreme Court’s decision in von Glahn v. Hoskins:

“I’m not surprised that a liberal activist majority on the Missouri Supreme Court has handed Democrats a decision they desperately needed in their effort to help national Democrats retake the US House of Representatives, while also effectively invalidating a primary election that was held in accordance with a legal decision these same judges handed down. With the stroke of a pen, the Missouri Supreme Court has disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters who cast their ballot in the 5th District in the primary, only to be thrown into another district entirely – and with candidates they did not have a chance to vote on – for the General Election. This is blatantly unconstitutional. No court has ever reversed a Congressional map in the middle of an election because it is a complete show of disrespect for voters and for the sanctity of the electoral process. It is my hope that this rogue decision is immediately appealed to the United State Supreme Court.”
###

“…liberal activist majority on the Missouri Supreme Court…” Is somebody going to tell him?

You think he’s pissed because he’s going to have to collect and replant a shitload of 4 x 8 campaign signs? Just asking.

Some of the responses:

Sometimes the best thing to say is: Nothing.

Why wasn’t the citizen initiative certified for the primary? The justices addressed this. You should address your anger to Hoskins.

Rick, like I wrote on Mark’s page. The folks that plan on voting for you will vote for you. Go out and campaign. Leave this behind. All seven judges weighed in. The executive and legislative branch got checked by the judicial branch. I think I recall that’s how it supposed to work. Whining will make you look weak. Adult up and move on.

he should keep on whining and give the voters further proof of how he is either THAT ignorant, or THAT willing to lie to get into office.

have to be dumb af to vote for someone literally telling you he wishes our voices were not heard

Lol. Liberal activists judges…. the court said no so many times. You and your boy denny did this. Cheaters suck Rick. You suck. Can’t wait to defeat you.

So which of the 5 Republican appointed are part of the liberal activist majority?

There, somebody told him.

This is not a Republican victory or a Democratic victory. It is a victory for the people of Missouri.
Our Constitution declares that all political power is vested in and derived from the people. Political parties are factions; they are not the source of government’s authority. The Legislature may pass laws, but the Constitution reserves to the people the power to approve or reject those laws through referendum.
Seven judges unanimously affirmed that principle. Anyone attempting to reduce these decisions to “our party versus their party” is missing—or avoiding—the central issue:
The Constitution belongs to the people, and public officials of both parties are bound by it.

It was not “a liberal majority” – the decision was unanimous.

An Independent Commission screens judges that are appointed by the Governor. 5 by Republicans and 2 by Democrats. Politicians like Rick cry about a liberal court every time they lose a case. His opinion isn’t based on the legal facts.

Rick, why do you have to call names? Isn’t it possible that they simply followed the law?

Lol, your so call “liberal majority” on the MO supreme court is made up of 7 judges, 5 appointed by Republican governors. The ruling today was unanimous.

Talk about blatantly unconstitutional? How about changing the voting districts between census dates at the request of Trump who shouldn’t have made the request in the first place. The president of the United States should never involve himself with voting districts of any state. My interpretation of the Missouri Constitution regarding voting districts is that they are changed after a U.S. census which happens every ten years and the voting districts were just in 2022 following the 2020 census.

Allow me to translate:
“I have big feelings, bc my buddies Hoskins and Hanaway got slapped back UNANIMOUSLY by the MO Supreme Court. Their plot to gerrymander my weak campaign to a narrow lead has ended, and now I’m going to lose bigly.” 😭

Rick challenge you actually reply to this. Explain how 5 republicans and 2 democrats on a unanimous decision yesterday represents a “liberal activist majority?” I’ll wait.

What’s the matter? Afraid you won’t win if the people of the State, including the ones you’re supposed to represent, get to decide?

If Hoskins hadn’t waited until the 11th hour to act on the referendum, those votes wouldn’t have been affected. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.

“….The secretary [of State – Denny Hoskins] devotes a significant portion of his briefing to discussing the confusion, expense, and practical difficulties that may result from not utilizing the congressional redistricting in HB 1 for the November 2026 election. Besides being irrelevant to the secretary’s sole basis for declaring the referendum petition insufficient, these arguments are particularly misplaced given the secretary’s delay created the confusion, expense, and practical difficulties of which he complains….”

5 of the 7 MO Supreme Court judges were appointed by Republican governors.
The current seven judges of the Supreme Court of Missouri were appointed by the following governors Wesley Brent Powell (Chief Justice): Appointed by Governor Eric Greitens (R) in April 2017.
Zel Fischer: Appointed by Governor Matt Blunt (R) in October 2008.
Mary Rhodes Russell: Appointed by Governor Bob Holden (D) in September 2004.
Paul C. Wilson: Appointed by Governor Jay Nixon (D) in December 2012.
Robin Ransom: Appointed by Governor Mike Parson (R) in May 2021.
Kelly C. Broniec: Appointed by Governor Mike Parson (R) in September 2023.
Ginger Gooch: Appointed by Governor Mike Parson (R) in October 2023

He is saying the decision disenfranchises voters by letting voters vote on something.

Voting on matters that impact all voters should be voted on. What’s the problem?

More like conservative leaning unanimous decision

It is interesting that a unanimous ruling by seven judges including five appointed by Republican governors is a “liberal majority”. Please explain.

Hey Ricky, how about you do some research on how many judges were appointed by your party. Let me know if you need help doing the math

You knew darn well this was a risk if not a probability through the whole election. This is the f o part of fa

They got greedy.

Sorry Mr. Brattin, but Denny Hoskins done that all by himself, had he done his job, it would all been settled Aug. 4th.

==========

As said to the Governor; If this Representative Republic was meant to be run by NINE UNELECTED JUDGES, then it would not have an Executive and Legislative Branch. This is an unconstitutional ruling and should be ignored.

Actually, it’s seven judges. They are appointed by the sitting governor (chosen from among three put forward by an independent commission) and then face a statewide retention vote by Missouri voters in a general election. All seven sitting Missouri Supreme Court judges have been retained by the voters, two have been retained twice.

Don’t fall asleep in school, kids.

did you skip high school civics?

Good News! There’s not nine.

So you think court rulings can be ignored? These are not useless executive orders but conclusions reached by education, experienced judges.

==========

Why won’t you just listen to your constituents? That is the bottom line in all of this. The current administration has been trying to take away our right to rule out state since they were elected (remember amendments 4 and 5 last month) – they have forgotten that they work for us.
We just have to keep reminding them, is all.

At what point do you decide to stop embarrassing yourself?

The decision by the supreme court was UNANIMOUS. This means that ALL the judges agreed on the decision. If voters were disenfranchised with the use of the new map in the primary it is entirely the fault of the Secretary of State and the Attorney general who decided to go ahead with the new maps even in the face of the referendum petition. They are responsible for the fiasco.

In 1942, a constitutional amendment bearing the title “Nonpartisan Selection of Judges” was placed on the ballot and approved by a majority of the voters. The amendment applied only to judges of the Supreme Court, the three regional courts of appeal, and the circuit courts in the City of St. Louis and Jackson County. In later years, the voters of St. Louis County, Clay County, and Platte County have chosen to select their circuit and associate circuit judges in the same manner. The method of selection provided for in the 1940 amendment has been known as the “Missouri Plan.” It has been copied in whole and in part by quite a few states.
The selection is non partisan…
So, once again you think you are smarter than we, the people?

Your political advertising is laughable đŸ€Ą

Senator Brattin should read the opinion before attacking the Court.
The Missouri Supreme Court did not redraw a single district. It unanimously held that politicians cannot simply erase Missourians’ constitutional right to referendum. Five of the seven judges Brattin calls a “liberal activist majority” were appointed by Republican governors.
And his claim that judicial intervention in congressional maps is unprecedented is simply false.
The Court did not create this mess. Denny Hoskins sat on the petitions for nearly eight months and waited until the final deadline to reject them.
The Constitution belongs to the people, Senator. Not the Legislature. Not the Republican Party. The people.

So your pissed that the election in Missouri can’t be rigged?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but when the courts initially upheld the maps, they also said that the referendum could go forward. The fact that this had it’s day in court now is because Hoskins played games and waited until the primaries to refuse to certify. The MO Supreme Court even cautioned him against running down the clock on the hearings. This is Hoskin’s fault.
Also, what do you call ignoring 300,000 signatures saying we want our say first? Because that sounds a lot more like disenfranchising voters than people who lost out on a primary vote. Especially one that ran out of Democratic ballots in multiple locations. If Republicans had any confidence in their own party, they wouldn’t need these maps, these stupid certifying games, or to try and plant drugs on their opponents. Worry about that first, Bratin.

The Republicans have a supermajority on the State Supreme Court, you absolute clown.
Please show us where the liberal activist majority is on the Republican supermajority doll.

Maybe your friend the secretary of state shouldnt have dragged his feet doing his job processing the petitions if he didnt want this to be getting litigated in the middle of the election. But ofc he didnt, because he was hoping if he slacked long enough that there wouldnt be time and the voters of missouri could be effectively silenced. Its so fun to watch yall make up reasons to be outraged when you finally get called on your bs

Denny Hoskins is responsible for “invalidating a primary election”. He should not have used the map in the primary until this played out in court. He knew this would happen. He planned on this chaos. This is his doing. If you’re upset about a primary being “invalidated” then you need to impeach Hoskins. 👍

Oxygen thief.

‘a liberal activist majority on the Missouri Supreme Court” BRATTIN ARE YOU ON ACID? OR JUST EFFIN STUPID?

Something something snowflakes

There is absolutely nothing about any of the branches of our state government that is “liberal”.
You’re just a crybaby

You started this clown show, Buddy!

Chaser:

In 2022 Rick Brattin (r) ran in the republican primary in the 4th Congressional District. “Missourians for Truth”, a PAC, spent money on mailings opposed to Rick Brattin and supporting Mark Alford (r). Mark Alford won the primary. The images from the mailings were priceless:

Our favorite image from those mailings:

Rick Brattin could have filed in the 4th Congressional District republican primary, facing Mark Alford again. But he didn’t.

Senator Eric Schmitt
[August 13, 2026]

The best beer in the world is brewed at Anheuser-Busch in my hometown of St. Louis.
Drink American beer đŸ‡șđŸ‡žđŸ»
[….]

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Some of the responses:

Senator, you worrying about sports and beer, with everything else going on….is like Trump fretting over the ballroom and getting his name back on the Kennedy Center.
Maybe a little more attention to the economy and the Iran War, please.

Although modelo and corona are brewed by AB InBev, modelo and corona are actually brewed in Mexico Dipschmitt!
Keep up the good work!

You have driven me to drink more.

Real Men of Genius! Yes AB In Bev, is a multinational company based in Belgium!

So… North Korea, huh. Go figure.

This isn’t college anymore buddy…

But Kid Rock shot Bud Light for being transexual.

First sports now it’s beer and the hell with health care

Republicans are pro-North Korea now?
(North Korea has a decades-long history of military and technological cooperation with Iran, helping Tehran build the ballistic missile and rocket capabilities it uses to counter the United States and its regional allies.) Google
Are you ever going to do the right thing and stop this insanity?

Good to know. Not everyone drinks beer. Can you maybe work on healthcare? Affordable insurance and affordable medications?

Ghislaine Maxwell is being fed BETTER than our troops at sea! But sure, college sports, golf and beer. đŸ€Ą

There is excellent beer brewed in St. Louis. It shows who you care about that you highlight a macro brew, not a beer from one of the many excellent craft brewers.

Owned by Inbev… not American… since 2007.

The embarrassment of Saint Louis University continues…

Is this guy the best Missouri has to offer?

Joe Biden is not the president. Joe Biden hasn’t been the president in almost two years. I was not paying $9 a lb for hamburger meat and $4 a gallon for gas when Joe Biden was president. This is Trump’s America.

I’d ask you about the economy or the war but it looks like you’re busy with more important things

This is the important matter you are spending time on? All the major issues occurring that affect Missourian’s lives and you choose this?
First, if you REALLY cared about Missourians, you’d hype any one (or many) of the microbrews that are 100% owned and operated by Missouri small businesses and pay taxes and employ our own.
Second, this just shows how absolutely idiotic you are. InBev money eventually flows to ANOTHER COUNTRY. Not state. Country.

We’re lowering our food standards and look where it got us a whole bunch of recalled food making us sick. Dumb Fucks!

Budweiser is now owned by InBev-a Belgian firm. August Busch III sent ownership out of the U.S., as all good American plutocrats do.
Just not ringin’ the right bells for me, Schmitthead.

Are you serious? People can’t afford the basics and you are talking about beer? You are a terrible senator.

Amazing job, Trump voters. We now have the shitty economy and wars that you pretended Biden and Harris would give. You are all morons.
Pendejos.

Republicans let Trump start another war in the Middle East, put illegal tariffs on every country he can think of, and now Americans are out $219 BILLION.
While families can barely afford to put food on the table, he has enriched himself to the tune of $2.2 BILLION.

Another day, another embarrassingly tone deaf post from one of Missouri’s worst senators in history. Fucking resign already.

Josh Hawley (r) [2024 file photo].

Maybe a tie.

You just bounce from one inane subject to another. Do you have ADD? Also you flat out suck.

You never address anything that is important. You are a joke.

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:

Russ Carnahan, Chair, Missouri Democratic Party [2026 file photo].

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.’

“…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 đŸ„Žyou’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 đŸ’©to prove what they have stated!! Otherwise, it is just pure đŸ‚đŸ’©!!

[….] 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. đŸ’Ș

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. đŸ—œ

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.😊

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 đŸ‚đŸ’©

January 6th.

There’s that.

“Import?” đŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™‚ïž

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??đŸ€Ą

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?đŸ˜Č🙄 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. đŸ€Ą

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 đŸŠđŸ€Ą. 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 đŸ’© like this. đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

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

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. [….]

“Silence is admission….

Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

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 đŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™€ïžđŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™€ïžđŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™€ïž

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!!

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Yes, he really is that stupid

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 18, 2026]

We must confront communism head-on before it’s too late. đŸ‡ș🇾
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 bullđŸ’©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 đŸ’© from your orange 🍊 clown đŸ€Ą

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 đŸ˜±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
