By one vote.

Early this morning:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
I was proud to support the election of @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

House Republicans are united and ready to fight to deliver a stronger economy, a more accountable government, a safer nation, and a future built on freedom

Some of the responses:

you didn’t even put up a fight. you didn’t work to help get concessions..you just blindly voted for mccarthy despite his track record despite what your constituents wanted.

They seem upset.

I wouldn’t brag.

Gaetz represented us far better than you and we aren’t his constituents! Very disappointed in you

That is a low bar.

I think I’ll vote against you next time

In a primary. But you’ll forget anyway because you’ve always voted for chaos and you always will.

You’ve embarrassed Missouri once again Jason !

His record of caving to the democrats, in selling out Conservatives. An you just give him the farm. Remember that when he stabs us in the back.

Dolchstoßlegende. Not subtle.

Your support of McCarthy is nothing to be proud of. It is clear you do not represent the will of your constituency.

If one counts the Democrats in the 8th Congressional District this is probably true.

As one of your constituents, I can unequivocally state that your actions were/are completely embarrassing. @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @laurenboebert and others represented us far better than you. You represent a *CONSERVATIVE* Republican district, sir.

VOTE like it.

Well, technically they’re political nihilists.

Lol. If your replies to this are from actual constituents, they already hate you. And not just because you flat out lie in your statement. They’re not even smart enough to hate you for that. [….]

I am proud to stop voting for you. against the will of the people 15 times. a rino. part of the problem. who’s side are you on?

“…who’s side are you on?”

That’s easy. Not yours.

You are a lying sellout like the rest.

4th Congressional District, election, House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, Mark Alford, missouri, Speaker, that ridiculous hat, vote

Mark Alford (r) [2022 file photo].

This morning:

Mark Alford @markalfordkc
The American people deserve a Speaker of the House. It’s time to get this done and get to work!
8:38 AM · Jan 6, 2023

Some of the responses:

Let them know we want someone else for speaker please

A big Hell NO to McCarthy!!!!!

Heh.

Big NO for Kevin he is the swamp.

We would love a speaker but we will wait until you all get it right. No to McCarthy and the swamp.

Circus fan.

Was really disappointed in your vote Mark.

Eleven times. So far.

Just vote Jeffries.

Heh.

Why do you support the liberal @GOPLeader? If he lived in Cass county he’d be a Democrat…

We don’t want him either. Unity!

Big opportunity to get some to get some national recognition and support if you would vote against McCarthy. Take the stand and get verbal!

Right…

You might want to read the room. The majority of your constituents do NOT support @GOPLeader.

If you count Democrats that’s probably close to being true.

#AnyRButMcCarthy

Please be a hero and be one of 6 Republicans to vote for Jeffries!

A tweet is the best you can do?

Well, he is a former newsreader so you could probably cut him some slack.

Then don’t vote for McCarthy. He is bought and paid by the Swamp lobbyists. We don’t want business as usual, in D.C.. He promised you seats on the Ag and Defense committees so you can buy votes w/ the Farm and Defense spending money, just like Hartzler. Be different.

And yet you keep voting for them. Or did you?

Stop voting for Mcarthy!!!!!! We don’t want him!

Eleven times. So far.

Missouri’s 4th district deserves more than you

Low bar, but true.

Why not get it done and vote for the leading vote getter?

Heh.

I question your choice of words. “Deserve” is out of place:

The American people “deserve” a government that looks out for them, not just a certain subset or corporations.

The House “needs” a Speaker in order to operate, though.

Oh no, not you too.

Eleven times.

Then you should stop voting for Kevin. You PROMISED YOU WOULD NOT BE PART OF THE SWAMP.

It’s you clowns 🤡 holding it up. Why don’t you do something worthwhile.

Time to work for the people who voted for you or don’t sign any long term leases. Brattin would have the balls to stand up to McCarthy and the Swamp.

Rick Brattin (r). Heh.

It’s pretty clear Alford is determined to be a loyal back bencher (like Hartzler) with the sole goal to funnel as much money as he can from Agriculture & Defense spending to buy a House sinecure. We will have to Primary him in 2024 if he doesn’t step up and do the right thing.

That’s so cute.

Tells us then, who have you voted for each and every time so far????

You’ve been so quiet towards faithful followers ever since WE elected YOU

You know, you can easily look it up. Eleven times.

From TV hack to cult puppet. Thanks for everything

You need to pay attention to the people that VOTED for you, you are suppose to be representing us and be our voice- you aren’t hearing us loud enough- NO MCCARTHY! You aren’t there for yourself- you are there for us- prove it.

Then quit voting for the establishment swamp. You are doing a horrible job your first day in office. You are falling to the cartel. Be brave like the 20 heroes. Make Missouri proud. So far you’re just another one of the swamp I will never vote for you again.

They seem upset.

Amazed that the majority of these tweets are against MCCarthy and yet you KEEP VOTING for him. I guess you went to Washington not to stand up for the people of MO, but to join the millionaire swamp club. Way to go. Can’t wait till you start voting with Cleaver…

I believe that this is how the next 2 years of republicans in charge of the house will proceed. Nothing MEANINGFUL will be accomplished. Not a single bill moved forward. You and the GOP are a complete and utter joke !

NO for McCarthy a yes vote for McCarthy means it’s your only term . NO FOR McCarthy ! We The People DO NOT want McCarthy . I live in your district and I will never vote for you again if you vote yes to McCarthy . We will make sure you never get re-elected if you vote for him.

You have betrayed every American of MO. You lied to all of our faces and are a RINO. VOTE NO TO MCCARTHY.

The Canadians are probably okay with it, though.

8th Congressional District, dumpster fire, election, House of Representatives, Jason Smith, missouri, right wingnut, social media, Speaker

Everyone is still waiting.

Jason Smith (r) [2022 file photo].

Yesterday morning:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
House Republicans will chart a path for a stronger economy, greater financial security for American families, and a Congress that is responsible and accountable to American taxpayers.
7:52 AM · Jan 3, 2023

High hopes.

Some of the responses:

This is a joke, right? [….]

Lol. Zero chance they do any of that at all.

House Republicans will take a sledgehammer to American families. The best thing we can say about you is that you’re dysfunctional criminals.

Is it Infrastructure Week again already?

My dude, you’re being overrun by grifters, frauds, and cons. Your responsibility and accountability needs to start by cleaning your own House.

You’re funny
[….]

Responsible and accountable. You are joking .

House republicans literally voted against all of this and more in the past year

Jason, you took a loan and then stood by while it was forgiven, essentially taking $50,742 from hardworking Americans. Is this what you mean by responsible and accountable?
[….]

Is this a parody account?

Yea. All folks need to do is look at District 8 and see how well Republican economic plans work. Sit down.

There is that.

If only this were true. #MOdeservesbetter than empty words.

Bullshit alert [….]

The GOP can’t even decide who is going to be speaker. What makes you think you can fix anything?

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

Sure, Jan.

But to travel that path, you need the cooperation of the White House and Senate. Are you prepared to work with Democrats?

Must be new around these here parts.

That’s funny.

Responsible and accountable? You are an embarrassment.
[….]

Do you ever listen to what they are telling you to type?
[….]

Y’all can’t even chart a path to electing a #Speaker when you gain the majority. [….]

The @GOP is a #FailedParty.

No you won’t

Liar

Why aren’t you voting against Kevin McCarthy?! We need to get rid of the RINOs and you’re not helping.

Then don’t vote for @GOPLeader for speaker

Seriously? They can’t even come together to elect a Speaker. Pathetic.

Who are you voting for Speaker?

So far, six times for Kevin McCarthy (r). Heh.

That’s not what your pal McCarthy said. He only wants to do things to get back at Dems for showing up Repubs this past year.

Lots of talk but no well thought out plan that can be found. The supposed Commitment to America is at best, a rough middle school outline. Please provide a link here so we Missourians understand your goals this session.

You think?

Are you going into comedy now?

Chart a path to electing a speaker first. You’re not even sworn in yet. Representative-Elect

Heh. There’s that.

Jim Gordon for speaker

Heh.

House Republicans can’t even “chart a path” to elect a Speaker, how do you expect American taxpayers to believe you’ll accomplish anything?

You haven’t been able to do that in your district in Missouri. Your district has struggling, underfunded schools, poverty, drugs, and limited healthcare. But you can do better on a federal level?

Bullshit!

You had 4 fucking years with a Republican president and congress and didn’t do any of that. So why do you expect the American people to believe you this time?

What a crock! This guy has one of the most anti-worker voting records in congress.

Liar. Fucking Liar.

That sounds really nice Jason. Being from Missouri, I’d like you to Show Me. Because I haven’t seen shit from you except tweets.

Are you voting for McCarthy for Speaker?

Seriously? Six times so far. See above.

Do not vote for McCarthy or you will not be voted for in my district ever again!!

Heh.

That’s cute, Jason.
Ya’ll can’t even get your sh*t together to elect a Speaker.

Stop voting for Kevin McCarthy!! He is a rino!!

Heh.

Don’t vote McCarthy! Listen to your constituents and vote a truly American first speaker. No more swamp

That is a joke right?! Republicans are now owned by the far right nuts who could care less about legislating. They want to burn it all down to appease their feral base. The next two years will be a dumpster fire.

For fuc sake …they cant even pick a speaker.
They are fucking hopeless

118th Congress, House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, right wingnut, Speaker, votehy

Republicans in the 118th Congress are in disarray. Go figure.

All of the Democrats are reportedly planning on being in attendance. That means Kevin McCarthy (r) needs 218 votes to become the next Speaker. The math does change if anyone votes “present”.

Pass the popcorn.

2nd District, Ann Wagner, Election 2018, House of Representatives, Mark Osmack, Second district

Missouri’s 2nd congressional district is relatively wealthy, mostly white and traditionally conservative. For years it was represented by retrograde moron and dominionist Christian, Todd Akin, who worried the issue of something he called “legitimate rape” like a dog worrying a bone until he found himself out of a job. His replacement, GOP Rep. Ann Wagner, who can best be described as a political Mommy Dearest, is preoccupied with the sad plight of bankers and financiers whom she struggles to protect, while cloyingly reassuring her other constituents that she has only their welfare in mind – a position the defense of which has necessitated that she rarely make contact with folks from her district who might be inclined to ask inconvenient questions.

We in the 2nd district may be able to tell a different story, though, after 2018. In past election cycles, Wagner has had few opponents who have been able to go up against her scads of banking industry money and local connections and she has easily prevailed. But all things must pass; change is inevitable.

Democratic strategists see the possibility of an upset in the 2nd – how much of a possibility and how seriously the Democratic party plans to support it has yet to be determined; it’s early days yet. Nevertheless, the party’s interest, coupled, I suspect, with the renewed activism triggered by the truly hideous garden path down which Republicans, led by their Trump man-baby, are taking us, has led to several viable candidates stepping up to take Wagner on.

One of those candidates, Kelli Dunaway, was profiled by Gloria Bilchik of Occasional Planet, and based on Bilchik’s comments, certainly seems promising. Another, Mark Osmark, currently employed as a consultant with Deloitte, met with a few members of the Queeny and Lafayette Townships’ Democratic Club last Wednesday (Aug. 16) and also managed to come across as an excellent alternative to the artificial and subtly doctrinaire Wagner. The following comments reflect my impressions of Osmack and what he had to say, in my language, not his – but if I misstate any facts, I would welcome corrections.

Like Dunaway, Osmack, is a newbie when it comes to running for office, although, again like Dunaway, he’s spent some time lurking on the periphery of the political world, putting in stints with both Claire McCaskill and Tammy Duckworth. He implied that he learned from these two distinctive politicians the importance of persevering in the face of obstacles, as well as more than a little about the realities of political give-and-take – and in spite of that baptism, he still believes that government has the power to make lives better for everyday people.

Osmack is a fluent and graceful speaker. Without once mentioning that he was awarded a bronze star, he was able to convey the importance of his two combat tours in Afghanistan. What he focused on when he spoke about his time in the military, was the importance of stepping up and accepting the challenges of leadership – he was a platoon leader – no matter how daunting it might seem.

Apropos of his experience in the service as well as his readiness to start big and run for the US Congress, he noted that no one would ever do anything if they waited until they’re “ready” for new challenges, but instead, one succeeds by stepping up and purposefully addressing the task in hand. To very loosely paraphrase, he presented his approach to the challenges of public service as something you just do because it has to be done and there’s no alternative but to succeed.

Osmack demonstrated familiarity with the ins-and-outs of the major political issues of the day as well as the lay of the land in the 2nd district. His offered acceptable if not daring answers to specific questions concerning such political danger zones as local racism (he won’t shy away from calling out racism despite the fact that the 2nd is a staid, predominantly white district), and, that major spoiler, reproductive rights (he “hates” abortion, but defends the right of women to choose to have a safe, legal abortion). What was impressive in his answers, though, was the way they were laid out clearly within a fully-fleshed, often personal, context that could help to make them palatable to many who are not firmly located on one or the other ends of the political spectrum.

Osmack’s answer to a question about gun violence was typical of his seemingly anecdotal but still laser-sharp approach to explaining his positions. After establishing his military bona fides as a man who knows about guns, he recounted his experience as the victim of an attempted car-jacking. His made the point that the perpetrator was armed with a gun and clearly understood how to deploy it; had Osmack been carrying a firearm and had he attempted to use it, he said that he is convinced he could now be dead. And had there been a gun concealed in his car, a criminal with one gun would now be, he noted, a criminal with two guns – an important point since most authorities agree that the proliferation of illegal guns on our streets is fueled partly by the theft of legal guns.

Nor is Osmack in denial about the potential roadblocks he may need to overcome to win the Democratic primary and prevail over Wagner in 2018. When asked about Wagner’s war-chest, his noted that money isn’t the whole picture and he doesn’t really need to match her reserves: there’s only so many TV spots etc. that can be purchased. He’s equally que sera, sera when it comes to the question of Democratic Party support and his current primary rivals. As noted above, it’s early times yet, and Osmack let us know that he is aware of that fact.

Given that it is early times, what did I learn last Wednesday? First, Osmack could be a real contender. He’s got serious potential and I hope, no matter what happens in the months ahead, that we see more of him in the Missouri political arena. Second, Democrats in the 2nd may be in the almost unprecedented situation of having an embarrassment of riches when it comes to possible challengers to Wagner. I’m looking forward to a promised panel discussion (or debate?) later on when we are closer to the primary.

Oh yes … I’m also feeling just a little more optimistic about being able to say adiós amiga once and for all to Ann Wagner.

Backlash blues – Missouri style

Confederate flag, House of Representatives, Missisippi flag, missouri, racism, republicans, Southern strategy

In the wake of the vigorous calls to finally repudiate the Southern “Stars and Bars” Battle Flag after a Confederate flag-waving racist brutally murdered nine African-Americans in order to spark a race war, some members of the House of Representatives believed that it was important for our lawmakers to take a stand on the propriety of its public display in the House:

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., introduced a privileged resolution banning the Confederate flag from the House and House office buildings, unless it is displayed at a member’s office. The goal of his resolution is to remove the Mississippi state flag from the Capitol, which displays the Confederate battle flag in its upper left corner.

“I’m convinced that an effort to remove this flag from the hallowed halls of the House of Representatives is the right thing to do,” Thompson said on the floor.

Unfortunately, his fellow Republicans, including the GOP members of the Missouri delegation, preferred to equivocate:

Due to the nature of Thompson’s resolution, the House would have been forced to vote on the divisive issue, but on Thursday GOP leadership moved to send the resolution to committee, avoiding a floor vote for now.

The House voted along party lines, 240-184, to refer the resolution to the House Administration Committee. Rep. Curt Clawson, R-Fla., was the only Republican to vote not to send the resolution to committee.

While this strategy on the part of Republicans may have seemed like a clever way to avoid committing on a politically fraught issue, the stark nature of the division in the voting – Republicans against Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus – nevertheless provided, as Roll Call suggested the vote might, the defacto “first opportunity in recent history to get members of Congress to record their stances on Confederate imagery’s place on government property.”

With this vote, Missouri’s Republican House delegation made it clear that they, along with the rest of their GOP tribe, just want the whole issue to go away. On the one hand, it seems that the Confederate Flag is losing whatever respectability it ever had and to defend it might invite public shaming. On the other, to repudiate it openly would be to offend many of the diehards who whole-heartedly support the real meaning of the flag – and I don’t mean the mint julep that also figures in the so-called “Southern heritage” that defenders of the flag blather on about. These are the folks, after all, who make up the hardcore Republican base. Nothing like getting bitten on the backside by your own hitherto reliable Southern strategy.

This impression is backed up by the deep silence to date from the Republican Missouri delegation on the question of the Confederate flag. Visit our GOPers Web pages. You’ll find no mention of the vote, no mention of the flag controversy. Google their names in conjunction with confederate flag. Nada.

Maybe its early yet, but I’m willing to bet that the Missouri GOP reps won’t say a thing unless some interviewer puts them on the spot – and then we’ll hear about “states rights” – Mississippi gets to decide about its flag, not Congress, right? – or more of the specious drivel about the flag meaning different things to different people, and we must respect all points of view, correct? And then, of course, there’s always history. Like history’s going to go away if we don’t enshrine its bad actors (and actions) in our public places. Like it isn’t especially important that we call out those who seek to whitewash those bad actors.

The flag’s meaning has always been clear. And it’s always been shameful. It’s about the 12.5 million Africans kidnapped out of Africa and sent to the United States (minus the nearly 2 million who died or were murdered en route). It’s about their descendants born into forced servitude. It’s about an entire economy that depended on this horror to survive and the fat-cat perpetrators of that system who started a treasonous, deadly war to preserve a way of life that depended on economic hegemony over an entire race. Lest you doubt:

In Germany, the censorship of Nazi symbols is still a matter of debate — with many wrestling over the dual necessity of preserving liberal freedoms while also recognizing the evils of the Third Reich. Far-right and even neo-Nazi groups exist and organize in the country, but raising the Nazi swastika is a red line that no one can cross.

Instead, at times, some European fringe groups have come up with another symbol to represent their hateful creed: the Confederate flag.

Sooner or later, our Missouri Republicans will have to take a stand. Will it be with the white backlash inspired by the election of the first black president? Or will they recognize the backlash inspired by the excesses of racists emboldened by their very own recent rhetoric? It’s a no-win situation; in the words of the song:

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash

Just what do you think I got to lose

I`m gonna leave you

With the backlash blues

You`re the one will have the blues

Not me, just wait and see
