This will eventually end up costing more than $200,000.00 in public money.

In South Dakota:

As daughter had trouble securing state license, Noem called agency head for a meeting
The Republican governor says the reporting is an attack against her “family.” A Sioux Falls Democrat is calling for an investigation into the ouster of a state employee.

Today, from the right wingnut governor of South Dakota:

Kristi Noem @KristiNoem
Listen I get it. I signed up for this job. But now the media is trying to destroy my children. This story is just another example of the double standard that exists with the media… going after conservatives and their kids while ignoring Liberals #AskTheBigGuy
2:07 PM · Sep 27, 2021

Ah, the republican cult of the victim.

A year ago:

Kristi Noem @KristiNoem
We can’t have corrupt leaders, but the Hunter Biden story signals exactly that kind of corruption and does tremendous damage to Joe Biden’s credibility.

Americans deserve the full truth, and @Twitter and @Facebook should stop blocking it!

It’s always projection with republicans, isn’t it?

How much to add that extra face on Mt. Rushmore? Just asking.

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

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

What an asshole.

This afternoon:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Americans deserve more details on how the administration will use vaccines to combat COVID-19 with clear and concise plans that put science ahead of politics.
[….]
1:12 PM · Sep 24, 2021

Have you ever met Mike Parson (r)? Just asking.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

Arsonists demand to know what the fire department is going to do about all these fires in his neighborhood.[….]

Look at the map of Blue & Red States & compare it to vaccination rates. It is so obvious that Trump States reject the vaccines his administration claims to have developed.

Republicans at the federal and state level are to blame for unvaccinated people. The adults who I know who haven’t gotten vaccinated are all Republicans. I can’t understand how Republicans are ok that their voters are dying because of misinformation. Don’t you care about them?

Step 1: end Fox News
Step 2: end Facebook
Step 3: national mask mandates because states like Missouri put Republican anti science ahead of health
Step 4: national vaccine mandates because states like Missouri can’t let its citizens die fast enough to end this

Says the Senator who failed to vote for the commission to investigate the 1/6 assault on our Capital because he had enough details.

You should be pressing Governors if you actually want to accomplish something because the overwhelming majority of vaccine issues are at the state level.

Putting science ahead of politics sounds nice. Maybe you should try it once in a while, Roy.

Don’t hold your breath.

My God. How much more info do people need? Covid = bad, vaccine = good.

Oh, whatever happened to the party of personal responsibility? Here’s a plan – go to one of the 1,000’s of vaccine sites and get the shot.

Get the shot. Protect yourself and neighbors. How hard is that?

I’m sure you have @GovParsonMO‘s phone number. Maybe give him a ring on this one.

You can’t be serious with this. How about you start in our home state where only half the population is vaccinated. What are YOU doing?

WTAF is wrong with you? Joe Biden got the vaccine out to all Americans in an incredible amount of time for free. Talk to your Republican pals about why we are still dealing with Covid.

You are infuriating! You backed a narcissist who never had a plan. How dare you

Science. 2 shots. That’s all you need to tell your constituents. This isn’t hard. Stop being obtuse.

Impossible. It’s Roy Blunt (r) you’re talking about.

Poor Roy. This Twitter stuff really isn’t working for you. You should have a talk with however on your staff that posts these tweets because I have yet to see one single tweet from your account that make one damn bit of sense. Poor dumb bastard!

Roy Blunt (r) continues to be…Roy Blunt (r).

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Today:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Republicans warned that Democrats’ enhanced unemployment benefits would make it harder to get people back into the workforce. That’s exactly what has happened.
1:08 PM · Sep 16, 2021

The is much hilarity in the responses:

Except… that’s not true at all: [….]

You don’t get to pat yourself on the back when you hurt people for no good reason. That you wanted hurting people to have a justification isn’t its own justification.
[….]

Tell me lies… tell me sweet little lies…
[….]

That’s not what happened

1 in 500 American’s has died from Covid

Dead people don’t come back to jobs

If they’re not dead they’re quarantining after exposure, or staying home with their kids who are quarantining after definitely being exposed almost daily at school. Does anyone *not* know someone who has missed work because they either tested positive or had to quarantine?

I’m not buying it. An extra $300 a week is not the issue. That’s basically the equivalent of a $7.50 an hour job for 40 hours a week. Not only that, states who have already terminated the benefit have not seen an increased number of people going to work.

You didn’t care when you were dishing out tax breaks to the rich… but now you’re worried about spending???? Please
[….]

Continued Claims for Unemployment Insurance is the lowest it’s been in over 12 months, below 4M with a work force of over 150M yea, that’s what’s causing the labor shortage.
SMH

No state that terminated expanded unemployment benefits has experienced an uptick in unemployment. This is yet another lie.

Employees will come back to work when employers pay them a living wage.

Missouri stopped them months ago. So what’s the cause now?
Right, just pointing fingers without offering solutions.

Roy Blunt (r) continues to be…Roy Blunt (r).

Funny because where in enhanced unemployment benefits have ended (now everywhere but in many states some weeks ago), persons have not been flocking back to fill jib vacancies. Your simplistic partisan logic fails again!

How many people who have benefited & not back at work have you talked with? Any surveys of these scofflaws?

The National Federation of Independent Unemployed People had no comment.

Not to be blunt Roy, but does your party ever tell the truth? About anything?

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

That’s a lie. Missouri stopped the covid unemployment benefits early. Still I see hundreds of help wanted signs. White Castle has a sign paying $15/hour. Just retire please.

Sorry Roy, wrong again on all counts. The minimum wage isn’t enough to put yourself in contact with the idiots who refuse to vaccinate, it’s that simple

And on and on.

How would you know?

“…Looking at the propositions embodied in the defendant’s rejected offers of proof, it is clear that they are more formidable by their number than by their inherent value….” – Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
New report: President Biden’s authoritarian overreach will target more than 3,700 Missouri small businesses, forcing their workers to receive a medical procedure or face consequences.

This is un-American.
[….]
4:18 PM · Sep 15, 2021

As usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:

The longer this pandemic goes on the longer it will affect younger and younger people. COVID must be stopped and vaccines are the current, best defense.
[….]

Over 115+ years of precedent Vick to support the vaccination of the community from the supreme court alone. General Washington ordered vaccines before that. Ben Franklin regretted not getting his son vaccinated, the precedent is there over and over again: [….]

The science is there & you know it. All of our choices are contained within a framework of rules and laws that we must abide by everyday. However, when your choice affects other lives, the community has a right to protect itself. That’s what is happening.

It’s perfectly American. There are plenty of vaccine mandates in our past.

What’s un-American is trying to convince your base it’s American to be selfish. Or to support a failed coup.

[….] you’re in a cult

Wait, you consider weekly covid screenings “consequences?”

I’d call it a benefit.

You are demented.

You prefer we get sick and die. #GOPDeathCult

That’s their plan for health care, too.

Why would they need to face the fines? Get Vaccinated or Test if you do not wish to get the vaccine.

It’s like when smoking was outlawed in bars & restaurants. Your smoke can damage my lungs. So no more. We still have bars and restaurants, this is nothing new. #GetVaccinatedNow

BS

Un-American is your seditious ass voting to overturn an election.

There’s that.

Continually passing gas

Sigh.

Vicky Hartzler (r) [2021 file photo].

Yesterday evening.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Anyone else paying more at the pump under Joe Biden?

The average price of gas in Missouri has soared under this administration to $2.84/gallon today.

A year ago under President Trump, it was just $1.92/gallon.
[….]
6:01 PM · Sep 7, 2021

“Your awl stoopit” would have taken less time to type.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

wow. you mean gas was cheaper during the pandemic slow down?

I wonder why?

but maybe I just don’t understand economics as well as a home economics teacher…

Nah.

A year ago, we hadn’t had a couple of major hurricanes blast through the Gulf of Mexico, knocking out refineries and pipelines either.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually think before you hit the tweet button, Vicki

Sometimes?

A year ago no one was going anywhere. Supply and demand.

Geez, Vicky, if that’s all you have against Biden, he must be doing a pretty good job!

You should tell us the average price of gas in 2018.

Now do 2019 prices.

Have you thought about firing your social media team? You sure they aren’t working against you??

What else happened a year ago?

Oh, that’s right. Republicans think 2020 was great.

Oh, the President is the only factor controlling gas prices? Disrupted supply lines, fewer people working, greater demand that people are moving about more freely play no role? Quit trying to gaslight people.

Publix ran out of blue corn chips and my favorite dip. It’s Biden’s fault.

This is your periodic reminder that gas prices are set by the owners of the pumps, not the President of the United States.

Same old broken record, replayed. Your comms guy is really really bad. #Hartzlerlies #welfarequeenHartzler

You embarrass us again. Supply and demand. Pathetic

Do you really need a lesson on supply and demand or would you rather fess up to being another divisive, self-serving politician?

Supply and demand, moron

You are an embarrassment. Give us the avg price for all 4 years of the Trump Presidency.

You voted for the Insurrection and are a Traitor. Price of gas is a bullshit distraction Vick and you know it.

“A foolish consistency is the hobgobblin of little minds”:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): let’s pass the gas (May 27, 2012)

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): let’s pass the gas – part 2 (June 6, 2012)

Vicky Hartzler (r): What’s that? Did you say something? Apparently not. (October 29, 2012)

Thank goodness that Keystone pipeline is up and running (October 28, 2013)

Supply and demand, supply and demand (November 15, 2014)

Not that it ever was about the price of gasoline (January 6, 2015)

There are more.

Apparently air traffic control, site logistics, and perimeter security, just to name a few, aren’t necessary during an evacuation of non-combatants.

Update:

When you find yourself in a hole the first thing you do is stop digging.

“…rescue of Americans and our allies…” That’s not about a hurricane on the Gulf Coast.

One reason the # of Afghans is so high is that people are bringing their entire extended families, regardless of whether anyone meaningfully aided war effort or faces a particularized threat. Perception of an unrestricted policy surely helped drive oversized crowds to airport.
[….]

Because extended families never matter?

Asshole.

The only appropriate response:

Jason Kander @JasonKander
Replying to @StephenM
You’re a big part of the reason good deserving people who actually fought for their country and ours never got their SIVs and are hiding from the Taliban with little chance to escape.

I personally have two dozen Afghans stuck there. I’d happily trade you for any one of them.

[….]
10:02 AM · Aug 24, 2021

Some of the responses:

Why is your home address listed as Virgina and not MISSOURI?

Virginia? It’s the whole damn address. House number. Street name

He may as well drawn a directional map for Twitter

Look man, I know you don’t like law and order but it’s really dumb to tweet out your address like this if you’re trying to stop people from calling out a dumbass in person

You can put your home address out there if you want, but I’m still not sending you a Christmas card.

Can you please provide a picture of his Antifa membership card because I think he was just a guy that disagreed with you.

Also, Vienna, is that a Missouri town?

It’s pronounced differently in Missouri. I spent a week there one day.

So you live in Virginia?

Best,

Your MISSOURI Constituent

Hmm…never realized the abbreviation for Missouri was “VA.” How about that?

Weird. Your home address is for Virginia? I thought you represented my state of Missouri. You should probably just give up your seat to someone that actually lives here.

And:
