America deserves to hear these tapes immediately.

Some of the responses:

I’m excited to hear what the next turn in the Republicans weaponizing government against a private citizen to hurt his dad politically is after these tapes turn out not to exist or resemble Grassley’s description of them.

Allegedly doing so much heavy lifting, my grandpa’s mule team would be impressed. Please have some respect for your constituents who don’t fall for every Faux News link.

Do you get tired of falling on your face and sounding like a fool? Missouri residents want to know.

You all need to start being sued for libel at this point. Using your office to continually defame not only Biden but his family. I mean, if you acted like you gave a shit about Kushner getting 2 billion in foreign cash I might listen to you but you’re just partisan schills

Missouri deserves someone who will work to help people not a partisan hack who soul purpose is to spread lies to gullible MAGA rubes

You can’t because they don’t exist. Unlike the smoking gun tapes of Trump admitting that he knew what he did was wrong. He is guilty of violating the classified records legislation he supported and signed into law. Hypocrites, every one of you.

And again, you do nothing but tweet. Pandering to your base is getting really pathetic. You prove every day that you are useless to this state

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
15 audio recordings with Hunter.

2 recordings with then-VP Joe Biden.

My colleagues and I on @GOPoversight will leave no stone unturned in our investigation into the Biden family’s influence-peddling schemes.

Some of the responses:

Anti-American extremist Eric Burlison has unsubstantiated gossip he got thirdhand via notorious liars.

[….]
you just keeping throwing crap

No surprise with this Tweet. Deflection from today’s arraignment of DJT facing 37 charges related to mishandling classified material.

Shorter Eric: hasn’t heard a second of these. But yeah, keep fishing without a license little buddy.

How ’bout taking a look at the $$$ the Saudis gave Kushner?

Damn, never thought I’d miss Billy Long

Are you all just going to say you have these “recordings” or are we going to hear them? You all said you’d release them then nothing. Silence. This smells like bullshit

In 3, 2, 1…

Anything else of note happen in the last few days?

Just asking.

This afternoon from Eric Burlison (r):

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
Having a “family-friendly activity,” drag shows, and a performance by “Crystal Methyd” all on the same stage & in the same afternoon is wrong. Kids shouldn’t be seeing this stuff!

The City of Springfield and Greene County Health should be ashamed to sponsor this event.
1:15 PM · Jun 10, 2023

Give it a rest, you pearl-clutching busybody.

Rhonda Santis works as a drag queen name in Florida, Crystal Methyd works for Missouri. You go with what you’re famous for.

“…all on the same stage & in the same afternoon…” Why, next they’ll be mixing cotton and polyester fibers in their clothing. The nerve.

Different shows for different crowds? Do tell.

Some of the responses:

Take your kids to Hooters, instead.

I bet you watched the Munsters as a Kid. So maybe you should take a seat.
[….]

Apparently the Munsters mixed fibers, too.

We have one in Kansas City today too. Come on by, homophobe. Cleanse yourself.

We had a Pride Festival in Warrensburg on June 3rd. I had a beer from the bar after standing out in the heat covering and photographing the bigots with signs across the street.

The City of Springfield and Greene county as a whole should be ashamed to have such an ignorant bigot representing them.

Yesterday, from Eric Burlison (r):

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
Sometimes what we do in Washington is complicated. But today, I voted for something that isn’t complicated.

Today, I voted for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.

It’s a simple bill. It prohibits men from competing against women in women’s sports. That’s it.
10:03 AM · Apr 20, 2023

Bigot.

Some of the responses:

So, who’s gonna be peakin’ in undies & who foots the bill for genetic testing, Eric?

Good question.

Too bad you won’t fight for women on other, much more important matters.

There’s that.

This hate bill will go nowhere, because Repubs can’t get it past the Senate. But thank you for your increasingly progressive district with young voters that you are 100% against the LGBTQ community.

Bigot. That’s not what the voters want.

Not simple but definitely cruel and political

Amazing, way to protect us from 1 or 2 % of the population. Why don’t Republicans work on something important like inflation? Ohh, I remember now it’s because you don’t actually have an effective plan. So you fear monger to divide and distract people.

Of course, your mileage may vary

This week:

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
Today is a dark day for our country.

The Left is subverting the justice system to silence the leading candidate of the opposition party.

This is election interference, plain and simple.
9:19 AM · Apr 4, 2023

The responses:

Time to use their tactics against them!

If the Constitution was created and written in crayon by a four-year-old.

I wouldn’t say “leading”.

He would.

Let’s not forget the leading candidate announced very, very, early knowing there was investigations. I believe a person should question why he did that.

Funny that.

Patriotic Americans are ready for anything thrown at us…bring it!

Meaning exactly what?

I am disillusioned by the GOP’s history of general inaction. I’m a conservative republican.
The GOP is all talk, and no action!!!
DAMN IT, DO SOMETHING!!!
DON’T JUST TALK, TALK, TALK…
DO SOMETHING!!!
Help us believe in you again by earning back our respect!!!
PRODUCE RESULTS!!!

Okay.

Trump is and always has been a con man. But…it’s the lefts fault! Got it!

Also, Grifter.

Its to bad there wasnt people out there that would make sure laws are followed. America sure has changed in the last 15 years

And your point is?

Yesterday was a great day to be alive. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Show your fuckin’ work, you embarrassingly sycophantic little twatwaffle.

The twice impeached, indicted, loser by a landslide starts his legal problems today in NY.

He still has-

A Special Grand Jury in Georgia voted to indict.

Mar-a-lago Classified Documents & J6 DOJ Investigations on going.

Can I get a “Lock Him Up” from all my MAGA friends?

MAGA friends? Must be a polite turn of phrase.

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

Again, doing nothing

Some responses:

Did I miss your statement about today’s tragedy in Nashville and what your plan is to stop school shootings?

Mark has done exactly zero things to help Americans, zero

What’s your plan to prevent more school shootings then?

What have you done to stop the murder of our children?

Is it getting a little warm in here, or is it just me?

[….] from the party of “thoughts and prayers” that’s pretty rich.

What are you doing for American children Mark?

So, Mark, please elaborate – what are your proposals to end senseless gun violence?
I’ll wait for your response.

You are really solving problems out there chief

You’re just gonna have to forgive me for not buyin’ your bullshit feigned outrage.

Do you have any solutions, congressman, or are you just flapping your gums?

You’re nuts. This wasn’t a press conference about the shooting. This was initially for a women’s small business function.

Yes you and you’re partisan bullshit is sad.

You were a hack on the news & preyed upon rural folks for votes. Gfy. Everyone in KC knows you’re a mook & an embarrassment.

Go on puppet, rattle off some more dumb shit.

What do you plan to do to make it better Mark? Alwsys wondered what plans you have to help or you just another Twitter dipshit?

Some of the responses:

Cooooooowwwwwwwwaaaaarrrrrrrddddddddd

It’s time for you to take responsibility for your actions and rethink your choices.

This would’ve been the perfect day to hear from your constituents. Ogly.

Wouldn’t today be one of those days you’d WANT to hear your constituents? [….]

be a grown up and talk to your constituents.

Save your thoughts and prayers. Do something about the guns.

I’m assuming you’re not interested in what we have to say.

That Christmas card photo you took to own the Libs was pretty hilarious wasn’t it?

You’re part of the problem. You. Personally. Are part of the reason this happened.

You glorify guns on your Christmas card. Please visit with the victims’ families tonight and explain why you do so – why you celebrate a Christian holiday with weapons meant for murder.

Are you afraid about what people are going to say to you?

Topics for your next town hall – 1) Lying about educational credentials, 2) Where did the $25K go supposedly for a burial garden, 3) Why did you cosplay with weapons on a Christmas card?

Coward.

Will prayers bring back the dead? Or will they just make you feel better about doing nothing that actually helps anybody?

Understandable postponement. But it won’t get any better for you on April 11th.
[….]

Prayers are meaningless.
But I bet you’re happy you found this year’s Christmas card.

Today:

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON SAPA DECISION:

As the sponsor of the Second Amendment Preservation Act, I am disappointed but not surprised by the decision from an Obama-appointed, district court judge to unilaterally strike down a pro-Second Amendment law. (1/3)

The State of Missouri, not a federal judge, should determine how it spends its resources. That’s what SAPA does. I fully support Attorney General Bailey’s announcement to appeal this decision. (2/3)

I will continue to fight to protect Americans’ constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms, just like I did in the Missouri State Legislature. (3/3)

Clown.

Clown hardware.

What’s up? From 2021:

SS SCS HCS HBs 85 & 310 — THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
The bill establishes the “Second Amendment Preservation Act”,
which:

[….]

(1) Declares that laws, rules, orders, or other actions that collect data, restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition exclusively within this state exceed the powers granted to the federal government except to the extent they are necessary and proper for governing and regulating land and naval forces of the United States or for organizing, arming, and discipling militia forces actively employed in the service of the United States Armed Forces. Infringing actions would include any registration or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition or any registration or tracking of the ownership of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition;

(2) Declares that all federal acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, that infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution must be invalid in this state, including those that impose a tax, levy, fee, or stamp on these items as specified in the bill; require the registration or tracking of these items or their owners; prohibit the possession, ownership, use, or transfer of a firearm; or order the confiscation of these items;

U.S. judge rules Missouri state gun law is unconstitutional
By Sarah N. Lynch and Nate Raymond

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) – A Missouri state law that declared several federal gun laws “invalid” is unconstitutional, a U.S. federal judge ruled on Tuesday, handing the U.S. Justice Department a victory in its bid to get the law tossed out.

At issue was a measure Republican Governor Mike Parson signed into law in 2021 that declared that certain federal gun laws infringed on the rights of individuals to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment.

U.S. District Judge Brian Wimes in Jefferson City, Missouri, said the state’s Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) violates the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which holds that federal laws take priority over conflicting state laws.
