Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
If the roles were reversed in this race and it was the Dem with the contrast/storyline there’d be endless artwork, documentaries, etc… 5:23 PM · Aug 14, 2022
A whine connoisseur. Go figure. As if Leni Riefenstahl was available?
There is much hilarity in the responses:
They make documentaries about people who are inspiring. There’s nothing inspiring about an attorney general who repeatedly files frivolous lawsuits against already-cash-strapped school districts.
He even had a title in mind – Triumph des Willens.
Yeah! Why isn’t Hollywood doing the story about a man from humble beginnings, who rose to power, ready to take on the challenge of removing rights from marginalized communities, subverting election results, and protecting wealthy special interest groups… a real hero
I said it before and I will say it again, I have no problem with your upbringing. I am proud of where you came from. Your positions now, your hatred and bigotry are problems for me. Your policies are trash and deserve to be in a circular file.
Awww. Whining isn’t cute.
Schmitty, you have been worthless as AG; there isnevery reason to believe you would be even more worthless in the Senate. Perhaps giving tours is your untimate job advancement.
Careful, your misogyny and stereotypes are showing
But what have you done for the State of MO in your current job? How much money have you wasted on frivolous lawsuits that we are all paying for?
Better photos. Eric Schmitt (r) left “better photos” off his whine list. Trudy Busch Valentine (D) has better photos.
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The corporate left begins the banning of books. Openly and without apology. Welcome to the new normal
[….] 8:08 PM · Feb 22, 2021
The comments are hilarious:
You incited an insurrection and you’re polling at 1% for 2024… would you say it was worth it?
Thanks Josh. Any chance the book cancellation is about anything the author might have done to depress sales and turn off would be buyers?
Something about a raised fist? Just guessing.
Great brand brah
A school district in your state banned Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five,” but I’m sure you were fine with it.
Your book is available for pre-order–on Amazon, no less. It has not been banned. Also, you should resign over your role in the Jan. 6 riots that endangered your colleagues and killed five people.
You break your oath of office every day you don’t resign.
It’s so funny that party that celebrates banning books from public libraries gets in a hissy fit over private companies deciding what books they want on their own shelves. It’s almost like 2A is the first amendment they recognize.
Has your book been banned? I missed that. You must think your followers are stupid.
Well, if his followers are buying the “banned” rhetoric, are they not, in fact stupid? So I think he knows exactly who is followers are.
More grievance.
I don’t think you have enough of it in your heart.
Also, I am sure you can print your own book.
Timmy McVeigh, Junior, says what?
I think you have taken the rejection of your manifesto in a strange direction. Maybe publishers felt you were so off kilter that nobody wanted to hear what you had to say? Accept the feedback, it’s a gift, grow from it.
It’s the market. You love free markets. The free markets know your people don’t buy books as often and don’t want to offend those that do.
Capitalism.
“My God, they’re using our own weapons against us!”
Sorry Josh, insurrectionists don’t get to publish books. Do a Twitter thread. That’s all it’ll take.
It’s a free market.
America is sick of hearing you wing nuts gripe about not being heard.
Show some of the “Personal responsibility” you brag about and keep quiet.
Maybe that can’t be expected from people who supported overturning an election and a violent insurrection.
So the new “conservative approach is to have government FORCE corporations to carry speech they find necessary.
You’re a constitutional lawyer
Tell us what part of the constitution says the government gets to decide what speech is carried by a corporation.
Why are you so against the free market? What, you want the government to *force* bookt sellers to carry those books? Isn’t that kinda… Communist?
Fascist, actually.
I’ll might buy your book a year from now when it’s being sold at Dollar Tree or at a garage sale, so I can line my kitty liter pan!
Why would a private company want to associate with an author who lied in order to subvert an election and incited violence against the seat of the US government?
It’s the old normal. Publishers never did like to be associated with things the majority of people disapprove. This is why most fringe movements feature a wide selection of self-published literature, stapled together by the author.
The alternative is just as dystopic: publishers are forced to sell books they don’t want to sell. Now that is what sounds un-American.
Personally, I would be happy for you to fire up your stapler. You can make it look pretty snappy with PhotoShop, ya know. That’s your right.
I thought y’all loved it when private companies did whatever they wanted.
Wait, you want Congress to have more control over corporations, for example telling publishers what books they can and cant publish?
Wait, you want to tell a private corporation how to run their business? Whatever happen to Capitalism? Whatever happen to deregulation?
If he had a third side of his face to talk out of, he would.
What about his ass? He seems to talk out of it plenty.
Now that you mention it.
Better than inciting an insurrection openly and without apology. When are you going to resign?
Well?
Why do you believe that your words and actions should have no consequences?
Just bad business to publish a book that no one is interested in.
Heh.
It’s not censorship or anything else of the kind. It is akin to a publisher deciding not to publish Hitler’s Mein Kampf because it’s simply hate speech from traitors and cowards.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: There is no such thing as “the corporate left.”
Oxymoron.
Private companies choose what merchandise they want to carry. They can’t be forced to carry political and idealogical filth.
Feelings still hurt Josh? Need a safe space?
Seditionist. Don’t try try to change the subject.
That raised fist image is going to follow him everywhere.
Hes a f#ucking lawyer???!!! c
Clearly hes smart enough to know better, right? or is law school that easy?
He was a legacy?
Always playing the victim card.
Josh “anything I don’t like or understand is the left” Hawley.
Are you still whining about your former book deal man?
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
After months of talking about bridging our political divides, House Democrats are now trying to silence dissenting opinions from Republicans.
This rule change is an outright assault on the rights of the minority and debilitates our ability to fully represent our constituents.
[….] 5:14 PM · Jan 4, 2021
Chutzpah. On so many levels.
The comments are, as always, priceless:
Look at you, one day in and #SlickVick over here with more lies looking to add more $$$ to the $2M pot she’s already made for herself at our expense.
You’re a seditionist, Vicky. A traitor to the nation. You will go down in history as the worst of the worst. Congratulations.
No worries. I try to be nice to the deranged and delusional.
Just wait until you find out what Mitch McConnell has been doing for years.
Oh, she knows.
Ahh we care about the cost of things now
Resign.
Boo hoo cry about it
You don’t speak for your constituents when you rely on gerrymandering and voter suppression to win your seats.
Considering that the only constituent that Hartzler represents is herself, I can’t say that I’m especially concerned.
Boy, if you’re upset about dissenting opinions being made silent in the House, wait until you hear how many dissenting opinions you’re trying to silence in the absurd and reckless electoral college challenge you’ve signed onto.
You are the one fostering the divide by denying the legal election
I’m listening oh yeah not buying it
Sorry, Vicky, elections have consequences. I heard that somewhere once.
After years of Trump…. uh…. you deserve nothing.
You voted to throw out the results of a Presidential election. And you’re going to do it again on Wednesday.
You are a fucking traitor.
I’m sorry, you’re complaining about the Dems “maintain a grip on power” when you just supported an attempted coup by the loser of the Presidential election with fake charges of election fraud? Yeah, you gave up that right, when you tried to kill off our democracy.
Your boy is trying to overturn an election and openly breaking the law. STFU
You really are the worst kind of self-serving liar. Shame.
STFU, seditionist. Fake ass patriot.
You do nothing in Washington
You sit on B committees
You don’t pass laws
You are enslaved to your corporate donors
You benefit from the laws you vote for; and
You are a seditionist
Ike Skelton once held that seat
He delivered for Missouri
You deliver for #SlickVick
There’s that.
Sounds like a #snowflake statement.
Lol sure, Republicans are famously long suffering protectors of rules and norms. Don’t remember your outrage when your senate colleagues sharted out a supreme during the middle of a presidential election. Save your hysterics.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
….Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen! 6:40 PM · May 26, 2020
The responses are priceless:
Jason Kander @JasonKander
Twitter is not the government. You are.
I mean, f’n duh.
Not a 1A issue bc the gov isn’t restricting his speech. Twitter, for that matter, didn’t even restrict his speech.
Alyssa Milano @Alyssa_Milano
Nope. Just correcting your lies.
The Hoarse Whisperer @HoarseWisperer
It’s a private platform, dipshit.
Twitter is a private company. They are allowed to call out your lies. This is a America. You know what we call a leader who dictates speech rules to private companies?
lol there’s literally nothing Trump can do about that.
Actually, Twitter is not part of the government and can do whatever they want to choose what appears and doesn’t appear.
You are part of the government, so you can’t.
That’s called the First Amendment.
The rule of law frustrates you so much and your frustration is gorgeous.
Fact checking isn’t censorship.
Welcome to rules.
You’re free to deactivate your account.
Oh thats what I was missing today. A laugh. Thanks for that
And on and on.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
Josh Hawley (r) is such a robot that he can’t even bother to find or use original attack talking points.
This morning:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Nice to see that even now the media still has time for fake personal attacks. I have done 200! local tv interviews in last year. Nobody in Senate does more. KOLR has agreed to an interview precisely 4 times. Four. I am constantly available and you are constantly turning me down
[….] 7:40 AM · Apr 10, 2020
Some of the responses:
Look what Donald Trump taught him.
He’s Trump’s sanctimonious plus one.
Senator @HawleyMO this is not fake, it’s not personal, it’s not an attack. It is a question. You were on premises in front of a rolling camera with a microphone on. Twice. Are you saying reporters need to agree to your interview times? Did you set the time for @TuckerCarlson?
Hawley’s skin is thinner than Trump’s.
I’m going to go with @JoyRobertson version of this story.
How many town halls have you hosted?
No one in Missouri will deny that you are so eager for a microphone and camera you will knock anyone out of the way to get one.
OTOH, we can totally believe you want no questions of substance, and would rather share the Frozen Fish Heir’s glow than deal with us plebes.
“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce
I know some constituents who would love to sit down with you in the Lou. Maybe you should come on by and get to know us.
We have questions and want answers…
He seldom shows up in Kansas City, either. Too busy advancing his career on Fox “News” to speak to the proles.
Such a weak tweet. Too big to talk to Missourians. Come to STL.
This is a terrible look, Senator. You didn’t challenge the substance of the tweet but went on a rambling semi coherent attack. Unfortunately, Tucker Carlson gets more face time with you than home state journalists. You’re the Senator from the Show Me State, so show up!
“Nobody in the Senate does more.”
FFS, you even sound like him now.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
Running for higher office already.
Ladders, too.
200 local interviews????? Not in the Missouri media market. Must be somewhere else.
Yeah, I’m calling B.S.
Do you need cheese with that whine?
Heh.
Just because it’s Good Friday doesn’t mean you have to claim you’re being crucified.
Where’s the tests?
She didn’t claim that you never did local interviews, but that you denied them interviews in those two moments. Your response in no way addresses her claims.
If she’s wrong, then respond to her actual claim. Otherwise, your dishonest whining is an embarrassment.
Uh, it’s not fake if it’s true, Joshy.
Why are you whining? Do your job!
Where are the tests and PPE?
You just blocked a critical bill to aid small businesses, all because it also included help for communities on the frontlines, hospitals, and nutrition benefits for those going hungry. Shameful.
Last town hall? You are the swamp bro.
You are not readily available to your constituents. You’re a freaking liar. How about a town hall?
…In a December 31, 2019, letter (Appendix I, page 435) in response to seeing a draft copy of this report, the AGO formally objected to the inclusion of interview transcripts in this report, and stated the inclusion of these transcripts would be a disclosure of audit working papers, and therefore, a felony violation of Chapter 29, RSMo. The SAO disagrees with this conclusion. Objections to the inclusion of interview transcripts and audit communications citing Chapter 29, RSMo, are without merit. The confidentiality provisions of Chapter 29 are intended to protect the SAO’s working papers from public disclosure. The interpretation that those confidentiality provisions are intended to keep the SAO from disclosing information obtained during the course of the audit is at odds with Chapter 29, RSMo, and Yellow Book requirements, which both require a report of information obtained during an audit be made public. In addition, the statement that the inclusion of working papers as appendices to a public report is unprecedented is not accurate. Including information obtained during an audit as appendices is very common and not unique to this administration. Appendices have been part of audit reports issued by the SAO for decades…
This evening Josh Hawley (r) again took to Twitter:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Don’t think @nicolergalloway attacks on me & other Republicans are 100% political? Now she’s fundraising off of audits! Is it too much to ask that she just do her job – and quit using her office to campaign? #mogov #moleg
[….] 4:46 PM · Feb 9, 2020
Let’s see: projection, chutzpah, entitlement, lack of self awareness, ladder climbing… That’s a lot to pack into one Tweet.
Of course, there is much hilarity in the responses:
I guess you shouldn’t have given her the ammo now, shouldn’t you? The only one you have to blame is yourself. Stand up and take it like a man.
Projecting. Like Trump.
One word, projection!
These ppl weaponize everything against Republicans..the IRS, the FBI, the FISA Courts. They are truly totalitarian
What a friend they have in Putin.
“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.
Didn’t you do THE SAME DAMN THING??…Oh wait yes you did and her audit showed it
You’re the worst, Josh
She must be getting close to the target to have so many tweets from you. Also don’t use any of your ‘achievements’ when you attempt to run for office again.
Golden coming from you #senatorflatbed
The Ivy League vision of a flatbed truck.
You didn’t do your job…..you swore to uphold the Constitution and yet you voted to acquit the most corrupt, immoral President in the history of the US.
We will not forget.
You used your office and staff to campaign. Get off your high horse, little Josh. It’s tiring.
‘do her job and quit using her office to campaign’???? That is rich coming from you.
Why Senator!
You seem worried.
#iStandByFBI
Why don’t you worry about serving the people of the state you really don’t represent well?
You have lost all of your credibility and any respect that I may have had for you. It sounds like it isn’t just me either.
You did
VP of trump water carriers. Speaking of doing your job, did you forget your office? When are you gonna come back and face your constituents? You’re a joke.
Lol, you outsourced the AG job while you campaigned for Senate! You are perfect for Trumpian times, a shameless liar and hypocrite. You still don’t want us to have healthcare, even as you lied about it. Weasel.
No one want to listen to your BS anymore. We have no respect for you. We would actually prefer you resign.
You seem like the type that has gotten into a heated argument over FaceTime, only to find out your selfie cam was on. You’re a hypocrite. Resign.
You must be kidding. You never really did your job in MO. Went to the gym and then started campaigning for senate. At least she can point to actual completed tasks
Ouch. That one left a mark.
Dude..you are a political hack extraordinaire. Very recently out took an oath to God and trashed it. You lustily cheered the medaling of a racist and said nothing when a war hero was jackbooted out of the White House! I think the natives call this “speaking with a forked tongue”.
Let’s see… how did Josh get elected Senator? He fundraised off his BS record as AG.
You belong with Trump. You’re both full of shit.
Lol you have to be kidding….what the heck did you do even after you said you weren’t interested in a senatorial position you are such a liar wow
Ari Fleischer, republican hack and former press flack for dubya’s administration posted a whine via Twitter today:
Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer
Question to @gov: how come @BarackObama ‘s last tweet was more than 140 characters? Does he play by different rules??? 5:28 PM 24 Sep 13
It was all about this:
Barack Obama @BarackObama
“Not only are premiums lower than they were, they’re lower than the most optimistic predictions.” -President Obama on Obamacare #CGI2013 4:44 PM 24 Sep 13
Much hilarity ensued in the responses to Ari Fleischer (r):
@AriFleischer @BarackObama the four extra characters are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.5:42 PM 24 Sep 13
Anyone who wants to see what Stupid Right Wing Tweets look like should check out @AriFleischer ‘s feed, math fail results in hilarity 5:58 PM 24 Sep 13
UP Pastry Plate @UPPastryPlate
@AriFleischer I didn’t go to Harvard or Princeton but I can count to 136. @gov @BarackObama 5:59 PM 24 Sep 13
Elijah Zarlin @elijahion
@AriFleischer wait – so you are telling me Republicans are bad at math? who could have known. 5:58 PM 24 Sep 13
Pres. Obama continues his taxpayer-paid campaign bus tour today in the Midwest. Wonder how much this is costing taxpayers? 4 hours ago
Would you rather he fly? Maybe not.
My goodness, traveling around the country and having his staff expell dissenting voices from public events would be an impeachable offense, wouldn’t it?:
…Weise and Young were admitted to the event at that time, but were later ejected, after the Secret Service agent had consulted with and been advised by White House Advance Office employees. In recommending ejection, these White House Advance Office employees (according to the complaint) appeared to be following an established White House Advance Office “policy of excluding those who disagree with the President [George W. Bush] from the President’s official public appearances….”
