“Oh, a bullshit artist.”

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 19, 2026]

SHOW-ME RESULTS šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
I’ve been fighting to lower fuel costs and make life more affordable for Missouri families. That’s why I voted YES for year-round E-15. It means more American-made fuel options, lower prices at the pump, and a stronger market for our farmers.
Real savings for drivers. Real support for rural Missouri. ā›½šŸŒ½šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
[….]

Some of the responses:

Trumps WAR the one he started all on his own saying it would take a week and was not really a war. Is responsible for the gas prices.

Is the affordability in the room with us now?

Where is this fuel available? All stations?

Being from rural Missouri, I know a whole lot of farmers. But I don’t know a single one who is as excited about diesel being almost $6 a gallon (and more in some places) as Mark Alford. The illegal Iran War is disproportionately harming our rural communities, but Alford supports it anyway. Vote Herrera for Congress!

Is this the Onion?

Sadly, no.

Talk to your leader tell him to turn Starlink back on for Ukraine🤬

There’s literally no way the increase in taxes per paycheck equates what I pay for insurance every payday. I don’t understand people being so against universal healthcare.
I just finished open enrollment for 2027, and I’m paying over $10,000 next year for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for a family of 5. And that’s not including deductible and copay. Estimates suggest a 4% tax increase on the average household to fund a single payer healthcare system. Medicare for All would save me about $7,000 as well as prevent over 100,000 deaths.

Ethanol as gasoline is a terrible energy policy. It takes 1.17 units of energy to create 1 unit of energy as ethanol. While it reduces demand for crude it increases the demand for natural gas.

Science! Facts!

1 acre of solar panels can propel an EV 80-120x farther than an acre of corn grown for ethanol. With no annual inputs. For 25-30 years…

What about truckers, Mike? Will there be socialism for them too?

most cars can’t use this fuel. So for most no help

Congressman Mark Alford Judging by the prices, I am concerned about your ability as a fighter for farmers and American Families.

Today:

Exactly the same as shrinkflation. Not fooling anyone. Let’s Math out the “fuel efficiency” on your proposal. It won’t pass scrutiny.

No new wars

Congress held 6 voting sessions to end the Iran war. Congressman Mark Alford and the majority of Republicans voted no all 6 times. The war is causing a huge increase in gasoline and diesel prices . Now Mark wants to boast about offering a drop of help that does nothing to lower high prices he caused. It’s time to elect someone who will vote to end the war.
[….]

This, right here!!!

Midterms Approaching Propaganda and significant self-promotion.

Where can we find these prices?
No worries, I’m not expecting you to answer since we all know they don’t exist.

The photo shows regular gas at $2.94 a gallon – which was in February, 2024 when BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT.

By affordable you mean literally double from last year…

I just put $20 in my tank this morning. Barely gave me a quarter tank. When Biden was president, that $20 would last me a whole week. Now, I’ll be lucky to get two days.

And it lowers your mpg by about 5%. So have to buy more gas.

Fuel Prices by Grade Oct 19 2026
• Regular Unleaded: $3.93 – $3.95 / gallon
• Mid-Grade: $4.29 / gallon
• Premium: $4.65 / gallon
• Diesel: $6.01 – $6.30 / gallon
Feb 2025 Missouri avg gas price was $2.84 for regular unleaded.
I use 2 tanks a week to commute to work.
So every month, I pay $133 more thanks to Trump’s war.
[….]

How about get us out this war?

Until the illegal war against Iran has ended (which you have it in your power to do if you vote against it), fuel prices will remain higher. Increasing E-15 usage will increase repair frequency, as well as increase food costs: every acre harvested costs more using expensive diesel.

$6.19 per gallon 10-19-26

Rubber Stamp Alford šŸ˜‚

You’re a joke

Maybe you should try voting to end the war that actually caused the fuel prices to rise.. dumb ass.

These kinds of posts alone should tell you that Alford isn’t fit for office.

Confirming your incompetence again? 🤔

You forget to mention, when using E85 gasoline, your vehicles fuel economy goes down 15% to 27%. A great accomplishment for republican maggat CULT representatives would be getting fuel costs down to where they were the day JOE BIDEN LEFT OFFICE. Those price levels are a DISTANT DREAM for republicans that could take years under their leadership.

This post shows you that Mark Alford just parrots what his corporate campaign donors tell him and doesn’t take 5 minutes to research what he’s talking about.

Alford must be taking advantage of Missouri’s recreational weed availability again. He’s not making any sense.

I’m guessing you learned arithmetic from one of the public schools you voted to defund.

So once again you prove you lack basic math skills you pathetic sycophant

Grow up FFS.

Vehicles that run on sunshine are superior for almost every application. Enjoy your $6 diesel, maga.
[….]

You’re a joke…. You got Hegseth spending $90 billion dollars to DOUBLE fuel prices…. And no end in sight…. Corrupt…and… like the recently sacked press secretary….. UTTERLY incompetent.

Is this satire?
Seriously?
I wish I could see if you were posting this with a straight face.
You think we are all LYING about high prices?
You think every single one of us can’t see with our own eyes and wallets what we are paying for when we go get gas?

Are you that fucking stupid. Fuck you Mark!

So you want us to be using RUSSIAN oil?
BTW my nephew just got sent back to the Middle East (Air Force). He wont be home until next July at the earliest. Wasn’t this supposed to be a war that only lasted a week or so?? His poor baby girl has seen him 2 out of her 6 months on this Earth.
[….]

If only your party’s leader hadn’t have started a war against Iran…

Who is this ad for? Good Lord Alford is a putz. If you vote for him you get what you deserve. He obviously has driven around his district or MO in general.

Maybe if Mark Alford paid for his own food, gas and healthcare then he would have a clue about what people are dealing with today.

WTF have Republicans done to lower fuel costs???

This guy clueless and always has been. Look at how he has voted on health care

Congressman Mark Alford supports attacking a proven US ally, destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure and killing citizens. Mark Alford is on the side of PUTIN. Mark Alford is a traitor to the US Constitution and the people of this land. #UNFITtoSERVE #TakeOutTheAlfordTrash

“Fighting for affordability” while writing off his gas bill to his constituents. He is really feeling the pinch of driving that suburban around rural MO every day.

Yes on 6, the rest are tricks – just like Mark!

F*** you mark.This meme presents a false choice as if capitalism equals freedom. Scripture warns that you cannot serve both God and Mammon, yet capitalism relies entirely on usury, corporate greed, and debt bondage that destroy organic communities. Here in Missouri, we see corporate capitalism and state authority working hand-in-hand, with politicians literally walking around posing with baseball bats to intimidate citizens. Real faith and sound political order reject both state socialism and corporate finance capital they are two sides of the same tyrannical coin, both relying on fear and greed to enforce control.
[….]

High gas prices are 100% the result of Republicans and the Iran War.
And Mar-a-Lago Mark supported all of Trump’s policies, even though he doesn’t have a single constituent in the top 1%. Vote him out.

Dear god, Mark…just stop while you’re way behind.

You definitely put more into the photos you’re posting several times a day than actually accomplishing real results.
Fyi…gas prices have not gone down in Missouri.

You are soooo emotionally abusive, gaslighting your constituents over gas prices.

It’s only unaffordable because you guys sold us out for more endless wars.

Phony Marka typical Trumper spreading more lies

You’re such a failure. 🤣

Show me a bunch of BS messaging; affordable my a**.

Mark’s words are empty, and his actions don’t help Missouri. Vote this liar out.

Not much of a fighter maybe you should try something else.

This Republican Congress has failed to fulfill its constitutional duty to provide meaningful oversight and hold the president accountable.
At a time when the senile president’s words and actions raise serious concerns about judgment, stability, and leadership, Congress has a responsibility to act –
not to stand by in silence, put party loyalty above country, or shirk its obligations.

Or you could have just voted No for the iran war right?? RIGHT????

You didn’t do shit about diesel. That’s where the real cost comes from since all shipping relies on it. The US produces enough diesel to supply ourselves, but you Republicans won’t pass bills to restrict their price gouging.
Also yay, more ethanol to screw up my engine! Thanks, Marky Mark!

Growing an acre of corn produces less energy than an acre of solar.
Look for a new job.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[October 16, 2026]

Missourians deserve to feel safe in their own communities.
Thankfully President Trump & The United States Department of Justice are focused on restoring law and order.
I’ll keep working with them to bring resources to St. Louis to tackle violent crime.
[….]

Wait, wasn’t Eric Schmitt (r) Missouri’s Attorney General?

Some of the responses:

You execrable POS

Be sure you don’t send them to Atlanta. And see if you can get Josh onboard too. You might need to remind him that St. Louis is in Missouri. He may have forgotten since he moved to VA several years ago.

Operation: Where’s Atlanta?

You sure it’s Missouri and not Mississippi?

Do you feel safer in a Hawks community or Hawkeyes community?

Wait, you’re still talking? We are still laughing! šŸ˜†

Missouri. Now that’s the state right below Iowa, right? home of the Hawkeyes, right?

Hawkeye… or just a hawk?

I always feel safe at a Hawkeyes game!

Are you sure you actually represent Missouri? Or is it Montana, Mississippi or Massachusetts? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hold up a poster! Hold up a poster!

Sure, but aren’t we more concerned about Atlanta?

What about gas prices?

Did you get copies of the text messages ?

Did it occur to you to stay off social media?

Evidently not.

Just make sure that you’re in the state that you think you are in – always double check

So you are going to move out of Missouri?

Know any other teams?

#loser

Bullshitter.

Hawkeyes! Go Hawkeyes!

The call is coming from inside the house šŸ™„

Uh…St. Louis only and not the entire state?

A true 🤔🤔🤔

Pardon me what about the pardons

Still laughing

Liars, cowards & thieves all the GOP has to offer….

You’re Schmitting yourself again!

Russia is our enemy. That has not changed. trump, hegseth, or musk (any or all 3) are actually aiding and abetting our ENEMY in the killing of civilians, including children, even babies, of our ALLY, Ukraine. It doesn’t make a damned bit of difference which of these 3 traitors actually shut down the satellite system to Ukraine, THE BUCK STOPS WITH TRUMP. What have you told trump your opinion of this latest atrocity is?

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Did you leave your brain at Trump’s feet when you kissed his shoes? You voted for more ICE so your the one who is causing violent crimes,

senator dirtbag still needs to apologize or stfu

Well, if it isn’t Missouri’s dumbfuck senator

So….Missourians deserve to feel safe in their own communities……so tell us Eric when are you going to resign so we can feel safe???….

Hey look!…Schmitt Stain is posting on facebook…whatever happened with Jack? Same Schmitt, New Pile…

He thinks we are as dumb as he is.🤣🤣🤣

You remain a 🤔

Every sitting republican is complicit in Trumps destruction of America.

Eric Schmitt is a buffoon!!! 😔🄶🤮

The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. Trump fawns over Putin. And the maga republicans just stand by and allow it.
How will our allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.
The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.
The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily.
We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes.
When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man’s legacy must be erased.

After your mix-up with the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks, I find it hard/impossible to take you seriously.

Well, there was this, too.

The US is buying Russian fuel, which is giving Russia money to kill more innocent people in Ukraine and to support Iran which has killed over 20 and wounded over 800 American servicemen! Trump loves Putin and has alienated all our allies! And the Republican sycophants remain silent! [….]

No sane person feels safe with people like you running things

Hey Eric, American voters are not as dumb as you look.

Restoring law and order??? šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚
[….]

Time to leave politics and fill dirt bags for a living.

How are they to feel safe with dumbasses like you in office? What are you doing besides making an ass out of yourself

Please stop this nonsense.. the most corrupt president in history and a convicted felon and the fake justice department is his own lawyer… cowards and sycophant

Desperation seems to put politicians on social media.
Instead, try letting loose of that BIG ORANGE STAIN.

Try working on REAL problems, like food and gas prices, affordable housing and medical coverage. Trump doesn’t care about us, his policies don’t either, and whenever you use his name I know you don’t care about us ordinary people either. But you are supposed to be representing me and ALL people of Missouri.

Go away Trump ass kisser

Worst joke ever told.

There is no longer a dept of justice, just the long arm of the Trump crime family. How horrible that Trump limited Starlink to Ukraine siding with our enemy Putin!! Trump handcuffed the people who are fighting for democracy. He is unAmerican.

Trump is lawlessness and disorder. Nothing more, nothing less

Until the ā€œlawā€ starts properly investigating the corruption in the White House the words are totally meaningless!

Stop already. Just. Stop.

Dirtbag Schmitt, the name sticks

Keep drinking the kool-aid Republicans šŸ˜€
[….]

Did Eric Hawkeye Schmitt find his way home?

The President pardoned over 1800 people CONVICTED of assaulting Capitol Police officers on January 6th, 2021.
Shut your fucking piehole. You only support cops if they support YOUR beliefs.

Schmitt and Hawley are the biggest losers and laughing stocks in Missouri history. No credibility at all

What a shit show

Your governor and legislature in Missouri is dominated by Republicans. Why don’t you go talk to them?

For over twenty years.

Yeah, I wish you would finish the crime and war in DC get that prick out of the White House

Yet overlooking corruption is ok?

The confidence of a mediocre white man.

Yeah. You and Scott Jennings, two perfect assholes šŸ‘Œ

When are throwing millions of Americans off their healthcare again?
After the midterms right?

Even the Russian bots are laughing at this.

You have no shame

Disgracing Missouri daily 🤮

How do you support a criminal and say they are trying to restore law and order?

Hey, Shitty Smitty, you’ve already proved yourself a dumbass. Quit compounding it.

Why would anyone listen seriously to a single word this lying maga cultist says???

We deserve an honest Senator, you are not one.

These are the two biggest Kool aid drinkers out there. Completely brainwashed.

Eric, Bubba. I think we’re done with you. Go find a place to sit for a while and try to recover your dignity. After that, just fade back into oblivion, cause ain’t nobody studdin’ you anymore.
Just go away, boo-boo.
Yer done.

Always some grandstanding, partisan bullshit from this attention whore and white nationalist.

Do you even read the comments? Of course not

The President? And law and order? šŸ˜‚ How many court orders has this administration defied including the most recent being the unlawful removal of over 400 matured trees?
You are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites with nothing to offer the average American worker.

Restoring law and order? Surely you jest. Killing American citizens in the street, starting illegal wars, inciting an insurrection, plotting to hang a vice president, siccing the DOJ on people that have called you out for your crimes, ransacking a Congress member’s home, protecting pedophiles, punching people in the face that disagree with you Yeah, right, you’re all about law and order.🤄 🤄 🤄

You getting your ass beat in these comments, bruh.
I’m from Atlanta, too, which makes it especially funny.

You can’t care about crime in MO while supporting trump and his cronies.

Law and Order?!?!? You mean the kind where an ICE agent runs over someone with their SUV…on purpose??? They say the guy ran in front of the vehicle, but I watched that video a bunch of times and he was running away every single time I watched it! You are such a sycophant to trump and his goons.

F@cking idiot. How to say you’re in a Cult, without saying you’re in a cult

You’re cooked bro. Just stop. The minute you puffed your chest out and called someone a liar about attending an Atlanta Hawkeyes game, it was over for you. Sit and stew in your ignorance.

Still trying to distract from your idiocy in the Jack Smith hearing, eh?

Wrong again, Eric Schmitt. Trump and the DOJ have done a lot to make us not only feel, but also be, much more unsafe with the increased violence they have shown toward the American people.

You have absolutely zero credibility.

There is no moving on from your Jack Smith debacle. No matter what you say or who you talk to you will be forever remembered as the idiot who did not know the difference from the Hawks and Hawkeyes. With Tommy Tuberville leaving the senate you will now take over as the dumbest man in the senate.

Hey Eric, the gaslighting isn’t working.

Pardoning 1,600 violent J6 protesters was certainly a good start.

What a joke

We do douche. We all feel safe. Leave us the fuck alone.

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

How is an administration focusing on crime when the administration is the crime?

Hard to be safe with a DIRTBAG like you in position

Senator Eric Schmidt is an embarrassment to the state of Missouri

Good to see this šŸ« 🤔 still has material? šŸ¤” šŸ™„ Is anybody even paying any attention to him after his last šŸ’© SHOW? Hav seen him on numerous times but no longer take him for anything close to being serious about anything anymore. Its all blah, blah, blah. Hes just another useless dumb 🤄 šŸ« 🤔 mouthpiece @ this point.

Still an idiot

Eric Schmitt does what Russia wants

Douche canoe

Trump is making us less safe by getting us into the Iran war.

You’re a fucking moron

Eric Schmitt – More ignorant than you think

Eric… just shut-up instead of continuing to dig within that massive hole of stupidity in which you’ve revealed yourself to reside. You will FOREVER be known as “…that IDIOT who tried to trap Jack Smith, a man of TRUE integrity, in some moronic Repugnant Party ‘gotcha!!’ moment only to have his own monumental ignorance revealed, instead.”
You’re a laughingstock now, Schmitt… and no matter how hard you may try to shed that image, you forever WILL be so. šŸ˜‰

Most corrupt administration ever. And your legacy is sealed.

Can you find St. Louis on a map? Can you find your ass in both hands?

A convicted felon seems like a poor choice to restore law and order. When the true depth of Trump’s crimes are exposed, I hope no Trump boot licker escapes the shame and ostracism you all deserve.

LMAO y’all voted for a felon. But please, tell us all about law and order.

Stop scaremongering. Crime is down all over.

What about bringing law and order to the lawless White House and Trump crime family?

Performative Dirtbag

So more armed masked thugs with a badge on the streets? Watch out Atlanta!

I’ll feel safer with a functioning democracy you Hawkeye imbecile

Missouri needs to be safe from assholes. When are you moving?

I feel increasingly less safe with Hegseth in charge of our military and Patel in charge of the FBI.

Propaganda alert! This one is just getting people to cheer when ICE kidnaps people … just like the Nazis did in Germany.
Continuing to vote Republican in Missouri when Republicans have been in control of State Government for the decades of decline in living standards is INSANITY.
The very definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome.
Not voting at all is INSANITY.
Voting Republican is INSANITY.
To make change in Missouri we have to have opponents to the Republicans running for office. And you have to vote for the opponents even if you are a registered Republican.
When your Representatives stop working for you and all of our benefit, it is INSANITY to vote for them.
ARE YOU SANE? OR ARE YOU INSANE?

What a joke. Trump is Law and Order Enemy #1.

Trump is the biggest criminal in the country.

This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 14, 2026]

SHOW-ME RESULTS šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
This Congress, I’m fighting to make beef more affordable by giving Missouri ranchers more places to sell and clearer incentives to rebuild the herd.
When the national herd is at a 75-year low, more imports won’t solve the problem—more American cattle and more processing competition will.
I’ll always stand with our ranchers. 🚜🄩
[….]

Some of the responses:

You supported the trump tarrifs that lost grain markets for the rest of my lifetime.

Diesel fuel prices hit farmers and ranchers harder than anyone else šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
This pip squeak is all talk.

Alford did trump tell you to say that

Rep. Alford will always stand with Trump. I fixed it for you.

He will stand with trump and radical right.

Not even close.

That’s a joke!!!

Standby & watch them fail

Except when you support policies that hurt them because Trump told you to. Oh, Mar-a-Lago Mark…

You stood with Trump and his beef imports and prices didn’t go down

This is a total lie. He supports and backs an agenda of a convicted felon. Missouri deserves better then this. VOTE MARK ALFORD AND REPUBLICANS OUT

We have seen the results of your party’s failures. Let’s hope the people of Missouri never let you forget your betrayal of the people for as long as you exist.

Not a chance, you are a mouth piece for trump!

Because you support trump tariffs that hurt farmers, so now you want the taxpayers to bail, aka, welfare, them out.

Clearly he hasn’t with diesel fuel at an all time high for farmers!! (Not to mention during the busiest time of the year for too) 🤬

Are you really that out of touch with reality?

How can you do it and Support Trumps policies

Sure 🤄

WTF EVER!! He won’t even debate [Jordan] Herrera! He knows he will be asked the hard questions that he won’t want to answer!!

The only thing Alford stands with is a radical MAGA monster

Missouri farm bankruptcies were up over 70% this year remind me again what party controls all three branches of the federal government and all of Missouri

You aren’t doing anything. You are on vacation AGAIN! For, at least, another 3 weeks. You need to be working on your resume right now. You’re going to need it.

Today, three weeks before a national election:

Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s DC home, DOJ says it approved the warrant
October 12, 2026 1:17 PM ET
[….]

Federal agents searched the Washington, D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Monday morning.

The Department of Justice said in a statement to NPR that agents with Homeland Security Investigations “executed a judicially authorized search warrant.”

The warrant was approved by the DOJ and is part of an “ongoing federal investigation.” Federal authorities did not give further details on the reason for the probe.

[….]

This morning:

Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced.

11:01 AM Ā· Oct 12, 2026

Some of the responses to Representative Ilhan Omar (D):

This is fascism!

Its BEEN fascism for a long time

I think him, like you and many other white men, have just figured out that the rest of us weren’t using hyperbole when we were calling people Nazis 15+ yrs ago

From a white man, I’ve been warning people about Trump since the Central Park Five. Gender and race have nothing to do with calling out fascism when it’s obvious

I’ve watched Trump since 1973. He’s always been scum.

Hello from UK where a Somalian has just been elected to Parliament. They can do what they want with their temporary powers, try to control the narrative and do some pretty awful shit like they are to you, but they can’t stop voters from supporting brilliant women. They won’t win.

If the executive branch of Govt can do this to an equal branch of Govt, this is no longer a democracy and the American system of 3 equal branches is broken.
This is tyranny.

First they come for you. Then they’ll come for the rest of us. Unless if we can stop it.

Deutschland 1939.

nevertheless, she persisted. we are with you.

I’m sick of this Racist, Fascist bullshit!

Glad you’re safe.
A search 22 days before an election breaks a norm the Justice Department has kept for decades. Trump himself invoked that same norm in 2024.
If there were a real case, it could have waited until after November 3. That it didn’t says a lot.

The anti-Somalia stuff is bonkers, but it’s getting dangerous now.

The Trump Regime is proving how mean it is again — but on the positive side, it’s made Trump look even worse, going into the midterms. He’s flailing.

I think there were many Trump voters who were receptive to the “white supremacy” message — but didn’t really understand what it meant.

This is how Trump targets his political opponents.

One of you is a patriot and fighting to make the world a better place. The other is a convicted felon.

You are a remarkable human, righteous and honorable… Exactly what this racist, Nazi regime fears the most. Your sacrifice for our nation will be remembered long after the putrid, traitorous regime is buried. Thank you!

We all have to demand accountability for this sort of thing. No justice, no peace.

And everyone with half a brain knows it. I’m so sorry this has happened to you, Ilhan. I know it doesn’t help to hear but a LOT of people are VERY angry about it.

Take care of yourself and PLEASE be safe.

It’s too late. They’ve set it. We now have all the precedence we need for Nuremberg 2.0. We need trials in 2028 for everyone Trump has used to commit his crimes, even if they’re lawmakers.

Buying diesel from Russia instead of ending the war with Iran as a way to lower prices here is like taking a payday loan to pay off the credit card you used to buy a house you can’t afford … as a way of lowering your credit score.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 6, 2024]

President Donald J. Trump just signed an order letting truckers and farmers run tax-free dyed diesel on the highway through year’s end — no interest, no penalties.
That puts real money back in the pockets of the folks who haul our freight and grow our food.
[….]

Is it a fix? Sadly, no.

Some of the responses:

If I start a fire would I get credit if I put it out?

The Commander-In-Stupid’s War caused this/ Since diesel has jumped $2.00 now he wants to give you crumbs in return with no relief in sight. Who could have reasoned if a country in the Middle East was bombed gas and diesel would increase 50%? Right-why would someone who has never bought an ounce of diesel in his life care for those who have to and need it to survive!

the fire is not put out. We are in for tough economic times.

only if you tell us how the fire is good for us

We see what you did there.

This is only a temporary measure to try to get truckers to keep being suckers and keep voting Republican. Watch, the new supply will run out the day after the election.

what will happen is that everyone will scream blue murder at the end of the year when the relief stops, thinking that by then they are entitled to it. If the Democrats prevail in the midterms, I have no doubt it will be spun as a Democrat failure when the relief terminates. If they don’t prevail, it will simply be removed anyway, because it is time limited.

Lucy. Football. Charlie Brown.

Does it include taking out L.A. and San Diego?

And, not much of a solution; more of a tourniquet.

Is that called socialism?

Red dye.

But it doesn’t help us farmers in running our tractors and combines. The tax break doesn’t work on the fuel we use for harvest. We run off road in these machines to start with. One day during harvest I can put over 1000 gal in one setting. Yes I can save running it in my trucks hauling to the elevator but my farthest distance is 10 miles. Give us some kinda break on the off road fuel that’s not taxed to start with. I am one of the small farmers in my area some guys are burning 3x what I burn a day. So don’t say he is helping the farmers.

Did he tell the oil companies? 🤣🤣🤣

Farmers already use red dye diesel. How is thus helping farmers?

Truckers save 24.4 cents per gallon buy red die diesel avoid federal road tax. Farmers are already able to buy red die diesel for off road use no savings there.

Come on Anchor Man. Really reaching there.

Wait….so everyone can have the option of buying clear expensive diesel or red cheaper diesel in the US now?
And no one thinks this will be a problem?
Gonna suck for people who rely on dyed diesel like farmers when its in short supply everywhere in a week. Lol

Why were they high in the first place??? Oh wait! I remember!

It doesn’t lower diesel prices for farmers. It allows truckers to use lower priced diesel that farmers have always had access to. If it has any impact for farmers, it’ll be that they now can’t get fuel because truckers already used up the farmer’s supplies.

Not really, but cool story bro!

Why is diesel so expensive? What event this year made it skyrocket? Has that event ceased or is there an exit strategy for nullifying it? Who is responsible for this event unfolding the way it has and why would any sane person vote for the person responsible or any of that person’s enablers?

’30 to 50 cents a gallon cheaper’ according to something I read. So,, it goes from around 6 bucks a gallon to 5 and half… Less than 10% cheaper–and that’s just the fuel…not to mention the cost of maintenance, drivers, insurance, vehicle itself…. Yep, that’s better than nothing, but still ain’t cheap enough to really reduce costs for the transportation companies, and therefore, for the rest of us–or the drivers and farmers…

it isn’t. Farmers already used dyed diesel in their equipment. This saves them nothing.
This only saves over the road diesel vehicle $$.
Another scam… by the master conman.

It’s deck chairs on the Titanic time…don’t forget the fact that the $1+ billion “saved” by truckers, which actually goes to highways, bridges, and other critical infratructure maintenance and construction, will need to be paid for from somewhere else…like yer DOGE, tariff, and vote purchase checks…which would be from taxes you paid (note: those checks aint coming, so it’s more tax all around)

Midterms Approaching Propaganda

And where will the money come from to fix the roads?

Wouldn’t need to do this if he hadn’t started the war

It’s like putting a sticker over a crack in a window. If anything, lowering the price at the pump may decrease stockpiles faster causing a bigger problem down the road. Short term relief for long term pain unless a fundamental solution comes soon.

Didn’t he start the war that made diesel expensive?

Congratulations we can now fill our trucks with fuel that is only $2.50 higher than last year instead of $2.90 higher.

Do you think there’s that much dyed diesel just waiting in barrels somewhere? Isn’t this just going to raise costs for the people who use dyed diesel who are *checks notes* farmers?

Maybe he shouldn’t have started an unnecessary war with Iran šŸ¤”

Red dye diesel is cheaper than on road diesel because the red dye is exempt from highway tax. Who’s going to make up the lost tax dollars?
The tanks will be dyed red after the exemption has passed. How will the dept of transportation know if the trucker is using the correct fuel if the tank is red?
Once again the government is going off half cocked with no real plan in place.

You have to find Off road diesel. And many farmers will be harvesting very soon so when all these city folks with their big diesel pickups that have never seen dirt full up with dyed diesel, suddenly the farmers that already got screwed by tarriffs not have to buy higher priced fuel to harvest.

thinking this is still the FAFO for voting this clown into office again.

pretty much. He cuts open the main artery and hands a band-aid and wants praised!

Wouldn’t have been necessary if he hadn’t started a war.

Adding dye doesn’t increase supply.

The demand just went up for dyed diesel
The supply of dyed diesel did not go up
Are the farmers and ranchers going to have to pay more now that there’s more demand than supply?

Just until the election is over.

Let them eat cakešŸ–•šŸ¤”

Or maybe he can end the war in Iran that we will never win?

The vast majority of diesel used in farming is already untaxed ie tillage, planting,and harvesting. Of course you already know that.so therefore you are trying to give yourself a pat on the back for leaving crumbs under the table. If you had exhibited a spine, all this grandstanding would be unnecessary?

Ah, rulings by executive order, the fiat of a dictator wanna be.

He created the problem, DA.
Don’t play the save the day hero.

Congressman Mark Alford yay, a temporary solution that won’t do much to answer for having no spine to fight for your constituents. Pat yourself on the back.

So he mangles a dumbass war and it raises the price of diesel and then he signs an EO to remove the taxes from diesel 8 months later to lower the prices for 2 months. That means the truckers will still have lost thousands of dollars due to this orange turnip. You Republican representatives that still lick his boots are just embarrassing.

How dumb do you think people are……

Temporary relief for a problem HE caused

This post does little than to just show how fucking stupid you are and how dumb you must think your constituents are. 🤔

Maybe the corrupt piece of shit could stop doing everything he can to destroy the economy and then relief wouldnt be needed.
Have we tried that yet?

Oh yes, only he can fix it not our Congress because they are impotent being led by the Republicans. All these problems were created by Republicans and suddenly they’re saving America by fixing the problems they created or supposedly fixing them.

So now there is less money to fix the roads? You’re robbing peter to pay paul.
How about if you don’t start a bullshit war creating the problem to begin with. Why are we even over there?

He signed an executive order to try to put a band aid on the problem he’s causing? Wow, what a hero.

Sorry, but you don’t get to crow about trying to solve a problem you stupidly created.

So he screws up but then takes credit while our roads go to crap? Sounds right.

Right. After taking multiple actions that resulted in the cost going up. Where’s my doge check?

And how does this resolve the underlying problem that Trump created when starting the Iran war or supporting his buddy Putin and not telling him to stop attacking Ukraine so they will stop blowing up Russian refineries?
This is a band aid that kicks the can down the road and will short change us in the future.
Money in pocket huh?
What about all the other cost of goods that have increased? How about that? What about soft cost like insurance and interest rates?
What a joke. Stop kissing the ring grow a pair and hold Trump accountable for his based choices for a change.

Why don’t we just end the mess in Iran — you know, root cause it — instead of putting bandaids on symptoms that actually are worse for the environment?
You know, the mess Donald Trump created and your inaction enabled.
Shameful.

Mark, you really don’t think things through do you?

Are we suppose to applaud this feeble attempt to fix what he’s broke?

Mark Alford you are an idiot?

My god, not again? Taking credit for only partially fixing the problem he alone caused! Do you think we are stupid?

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[October 1, 2026]

Fraudsters are bleeding American taxpayers dry.
President Trump and VP JD Vance are going after the criminals who got rich ripping you off.
You earned that money. They stole it.
[…]

Like a family of grifters ripping off rubes for billions in the last two years? Just asking.

Some of the responses:

It true! Some people are even making feral shit up in Senate hearings, and destroying their entire political future.

You are a #Dipschmitt.

Like the Atlanta Hawks?

Red-tailed Hawk. Buteo jamaicensis.

So Trump and JD are going after each other??? I’m picturing a Spy vs Spy kind of scenario

Is someone a fraud if they falsely accuse someone of doing something they didn’t do?

Is it the Hawks or Hawkeyes that are bleeding us dry?

Can you help me settle a bet with a friend? They say your middle name Dip, and I think it’s The. Which is it?

it’s Dumb, with a “B”.

You mean like the Reflecting Pool?

The Lake of Warm Ooze.

So you’re saying they have Hawkeyes, not to be confused with just Hawks.

Where was this filmed, Atlanta or Iowa?

I didn’t think you’d have the balls to come out in public for at least a week

I’d start with the office of the President. That’s in Washington D.C by the way. (It’s next to Maryland, where I hear the Seahawks have played).

Attempted pivot.

Desperately trying to save his reputation, as if he had a good one to begin with

multiple pivots and he’s getting ROASTED each time he posts another one.

Rick Scott on the list?

Florida!

Yeah! I was gonna use that money to go see the Atlanta Hawks! Or, wait…was it the Iowa Hawkeyes?

I came for the comments…..

here for memes…I hope to find some … Thoughts and prayers for my meme journey please šŸ™šŸ¼

He was in Chicago to watch the Blackhawks. Or was it Kansas to see the Jayhawks? Or was it Seattle to see the Seahawks?

The irony here is hilarious. šŸ˜‚

Satire?

Sadly, no.

Let’s ask the Hawkeyes

Are you going to see the Cardinals play at the Vatican?

Cardinal. Cardinalis cardinalis.
Canon 5D III, 2.8 70-200 mm, 2x III.
F 5.6, 1/1600, ISO 1250, 360 mm.

Arizona or St. Louis? Not that Eric knows the difference.

Yea? Who paid for that big poster about a Hawkeyes game in Maryland?

Put it on a poster so we can all see the “facts”

Did you learn this at the Hawkeyes game?

In Australia we call it tap dancing.

Squirrel!

The call is coming from inside the house…

Coming clean are we ? šŸ™„

Do you have receipts on this claim?

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue…..

Gotta try to save face any way you can, right? Lol

🤫
i’m turning down the volume,
popcorn šŸæ in hand, here to read
the comments 🤔
🤣

Start at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.

Did you get the inside scoop from your colleague Rick Scott on that?

Florida!

Wondering: are those Hawks in the room with you now?

So Trump and Vance at the top of the list. This will be interesting.

Ah so this is a satire page

Are you going to make a poster about it.

ā€œOnly You Can Prevent Fascist Liars”
(2025)
Posterboard. Permanent marker, acrylic. 22 x 28.

Love it when Senators call themselves out like this. Heartwarming.

Dirtbag!!!!

Are we getting the tariff money back?

Sadly, no.

I’m so confused now about the basketball teams. Which is what and who’s on first?

Gaslighting at its peak

OMG! Too many hilarious comments! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Going to a basketball game anytime soon?

Question for you, how many pardons have been issued during Trump’s second term have been for individuals convicted of fraud? I’m just curious if we’re talking all fraud or just certain types of fraud.

Are the Buckeyes playing the Hawkeyes in Columbus Georgia this weekend?

Took a hawk eye to find that out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s crazy how some people need no proof to believe a lie, but demand endless proof to accept the truth.

You should know.

Desperate attempt at damage control . . . but it’s not working.

Quick…change the subject…lol

Schmitt is watching them like a Hawk! šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜†

Oh my.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2026 file photo].

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[September 29, 2026]

🚨Big news and a home state win—the Navy F/A XX will be built by Missourians
St. Louis is Fighterland, USA
I worked with President Trump to bring home the F-47 and fought hard to bring the F/A-XX to St. Louis as well
This is a WIN for Missouri and for our national security.

Uh, something else happen yesterday? Just asking.

There is much hilarity and piling on in the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Ah yes, St. Louis, home of the Arizona Cardinals

Great comments folks. This guy made a fool out of himself.

Are you sure it isn’t the Atlanta Hawks???

==========

That yo-yo spent hundreds of dollars just to make the idiotic sign.

I’m sure he spent taxpayer money on that.

==========

A few years ago St. Louis had a Hawks and my beloved Hazelwood High School is home of Hawks in North County.

Are you sure? There are poster boards to help you recall.

==========

maybe the Hawkeyes!

maybe the Golden State Warriors.

Eric Sh*tmitt ever hear of Women’s Basketball??

In my life my 65 years on this planet I have never seen a US congressman or senator make such a jackass of themselves as this idiot did today on national TV what a dumbass.

He said St. Louis, but we can’t be sure it’s not Louisville. Maybe a poster board will help?

especially one Senator Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy is holding up lol

It’s the poster board, it took me out.

‘St. Louis, which my staff has assured me is not Atlanta…’

Marked safe from not confusing the Hawks with the Hawkeyes.

Bro didn’t just miss the shot, he got called for traveling across state line

We see what you did there.

Hawks versus Hawkeyes. Run Eric run.

And here I thought he was obsessed with college sports.

Are sure it’s St. Louis, and not Phoenix, or Louisville? It’s hard to keep these teams and towns straight.

right there in River City.

Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble…

They gonna call it the Hawkeye?

Atlanta Hawks or War Hawks?

Fighterland USA…do they have a mascot? Hope its not a Hawk….
[….]

‘St. Louis is home to the Navy F/A XX, the coyotes, the lakers, the Packers, and Atlanta. Yes, the whole thing and no, you can’t check that.’

For your future reference, Navy are the ‘Midshipmen’

Are we sure that we’re not in Atlanta, Senator?

You mean the Hawks?

My work here has already been done by others…..🤣🤣🤣

Just to clarify, you’re talking about St Louis MO and not St Louis Park MN, right? Making sure you don’t have another snafu moment šŸ˜‰.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D) [2019 file photo]

Heh.

Another distinction Senator Klobuchar could school him on, for sure.

That’d be two zingers in one day for AK.

The jokes write themselves.

You sure it isn’t going to Iowa, Eric?! šŸ˜‚

Maybe Atlanta, Minnesota?

Not sure where Fighterland is. Maybe the Hawks play there.

Lets rename the jets the Fighter Hawks.

Wow… so, that’s kind of a slam dunk? Way to bring that three pointer home! Maybe it will distract from your technical foul earlier today. Sorry, these jokes are a bit of a lay up.

Jack Smith much?

Are we sure it’s not the Hawkeyes?

That’s not the big Eric Schmitt news for today, is it?

Squirrel!

Can it carry Toma-Hawkeye missiles?

Are you sure it’s for Missouri? It’s not for Atlanta and its NBA team? šŸ™„

You are talking about St Louis, MO, right? Not St Louis, LA? or California. Or Michigan or Oregon or Virginia. I know it can get confusing where certain things are, geographically….

You sure it’s not Atlanta?

Is that the one nicknamed Hawkeye?

Hey, Eric, did you ever figure out the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes Women’s basketball team, and the Atlanta Hawks yet?

You sure you got the right state this time?

You know that St. Louis isn’t in Texas, right?

You sure it wasn’t a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye? 🤔

Slipped that one in under the radar. Nicely done.

Is it codenamed “Hawk?”

Don’t you mean Iowa?

Boeing, whatever you do, don’t give the plane the nickname “hawk” or “hawkeye” or this guy will get really confused!

Is this the right state Eric? šŸ˜‚

Do you know St. Louis isn’t in Georgia?šŸ‘€šŸ˜†

This ratio is giving me life. Best to hang it up for the day ā€˜lil buddy.

The look on your staff’s faces when they suddenly realized their future tenure as VP aides wasn’t happening was pretty funny!

it was hysterical- like ā€œ oh no, I’m never gonna get to be on the Eric Schmitt cabinetā€ because the world is laughing at him

…but what about that Maryland-Iowa game? Good one, eh?

Who here among us has not confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes?

It’ll fly like a Hawk! Or maybe a Hawkeye…

You sure it’s the Navy? For real for real…you sure?

‘YMCA!….’

Not the F-117 Nighthawk?

Hawks, Hawkeyes. Same thing only different

The F/A XX shall be nicknamed the Hawk

Red-tailed Hawk. Buteo jamaicensis.

How ’bout them Hawks?

Are you sure it isn’t Army tanks by Iowans?

Are you sure it’s not being built in Iowa?

Are you trying to change the subject? I thought we were talking about the HawkeyesšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Squirrel!

Are you sure about this? Do you have a poster board?

so its not gonna fly?

You sure it wasn’t an Old Navy?

Quick, change the subject!

schmitt brought the receipts today. Unfortunately it was a Target receipt he brought to Walmart

Dayam.

You sure it’s St. Louis? Could be Louisville Ky.

Naming competition for the F/A XX will be between the Hawk and the Hawkeyes

Are you sure you’re a St Louis Cardinals fan? Are you sure you’re not a fan of the Springfield Cardinals, the Ball State Cardinals, or the Louisville Cardinals?

Are you sure it is being built for the Navy not the Air Force? Better double check yiur notes…

Will it be built in Atlanta, College Park, or Iowa City? Do you know the difference?

Is that the one the Ambassador to China promised them? 😬

Fought hard. Who were you fighting?

Bet you felt the need to post this after your day today.

You sure they are building here? Or is it Iowa?

I want to say something funny using “Dirtbag”, but I can’t stop laughing.

Are you sure it is the Navy? or Army? is it planes or trains?

Instead of hawk for supper he’ll be eating crow.

Eric, which state sits directly north of Missouri?
A. Georgia
B. Maryland
C. Iowa
D. I’ll lie to get a ‘gotcha” viral moment during a Senate hearing

Apologize yet?

Do you need a poster????

Loved your act today, when are you clowning next

Did you also know that the White Sox and Red Sox are different baseball teams?

OMG, loved your comedy act today. I am still roflmao. Are you going to take your show on the road again? I want to buy tickets for your act.

What would you say if I had a series of text messages..

are you sure you remember where Missouri is?

Minnesota State Screamin Eagles or the Philadelphia Eagles?

This comment section makes me happy

Careful Eric Schmitt don’t perjure yourself…

We see what you did there.

caitlin clark’s greatest assist of all time

Dayam.

Thanks for the update, Hawkeye.

Watched you on TV today. Hahahaha!!

Aaaaaiiiirrrrr balllll!!! 🤔

This distraction from your epic failure today is not working. šŸ¦…šŸ‘ļø

Where does your state rank in education? Just curious šŸ¤”

So much for V.P. possibility.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

This comment section delivers šŸæ

What’s up Senator? How’s your day going?

What is Josh doing all day?

He went for a run.

I was not in Atlanta, February 3rd, 2024. (In case anyone asks)

Have lunch with Denny tomorrow @ the Cracker Barrel

Dan Quayle sends his thanks.

Dayam.

Hey, I will give you $50 for that cool graphic you shared during the Jack Smith hearing.
Just DM me and we can work out the details.

Define home team

When does your Failing Up masterclass start?

Imagine thinking that this is some kind of flex. I only hope that curiosity gets the better of you and you actually spend all night scrolling through the comments.

I’m just glad that you were well prepared for the Smith hearing today and didn’t come off looking like a f-cking idiot. Thank you for not embarrassing yourself in front of the entire nation. You are truly a good and highly intelligent person.

And on and on….

Mark Alford (r): not so much to your health

4th Congressional District, former newsreader, gaslighting, health care, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sycophant, that ridiculous hat, Trump sycophant

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 25, 2026]

Rural hospitals are lifelines. Nobody should have to drive more than an hour to get the care they need.
That’s why House Republicans delivered the largest rural health investment in American history in the Working Families Tax Cuts.
[….]

Yeah, no.

Some of the responses:

If the Big Beautiful Bill had not cut billions from health care we would be OK.

But Mark Alford (r) did vote for the bill, and here we are, not OK.

The house should be in session doing it’s job instead of adjourning early to avoid making decisions

Oh, they nmde the decisions. They just don’t want to be held accountable for them.

Congressman Mark Alford You present this as a standalone win without mentioning that the same bill cut rural Medicaid funding by an estimated $137B, nearly triple the new fund, a tradeoff independent researchers (KFF, CBO, Georgetown) and even some rural hospital groups have flagged as a net loss for rural healthcare, not a net gain. [….]
You don’t have Missourians’ best interests in mind, Congressman. Your bill cut $137B from rural Medicaid. This $50B ‘investment’ doesn’t even cover half of it. That’s not a lifeline, that’s spin.

Actually, he’s gaslighting us.

When? When was this? 1959? Because 1959 is about the last time Republicans did ANYTHING to help rural Missouri.

You cut rural healthcare for years Congressman Mark Alford.
You guys ruined rural health and now you’re gonna fix it.
Just leave things alone.
Look what Republicans have done to inflation and gas.
You’ve fought rural healthcare for years.
[….] how do MAGA scream about funding healthcare and then after defunding it decide to fix it.
It’s like your new wars and gas. If you just shut up and didn’t vote gas would be cheaper and Iran would still not have that nuke bomb our dementia riddled potus believes exists.

Congressman Mark Alford
The Trumplican Hypocrisy is pathetic!
What about that BIG BULLSHIT BILL?
You have failed the constituents in your district!
Be sure to look both ways before you go fuck yourself.

They probably can’t afford the gas to drive an hour or more. Thanks for passing the Bigly Bullshit Bill mark. Cutting healthcare is on you and rising fuel prices are too.

JUST STOP LYING!!!
First Alford gives trillions to his filthy rich ‘donors.’ Then he slashes basic needs from hard working Missourians to pay for it
Now, at election time, he tries to fool us into thinking he cares with these ‘fix our problems just enough for a vote’ SOCIALIST programs. MO 4 loses because we have a LOSER in congress

Bragging about a one-time grant while cutting the permanent funding rural hospitals need to survive is total political theater.
This “investment” comes from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act—the exact same bill that slashes billions from Medicare and Medicaid to pay for corporate tax cuts. Rural hospitals get up to 80% of their daily revenue from those two federal programs. Giving a struggling hospital a one-time check for facility upgrades while permanently cutting the insurance reimbursements they need to pay their doctors isn’t “delivering”—it’s a corporate bait-and-switch that will cause more rural closures.

You cut the rural hospital funding under the “Big Beautiful Bill”. How stupid do you think your constituents are that you think we will praise you for creating a problem then only partially fixing it, kind of?

Missouri Republicans are putting a band aid over a bullet wound.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! They voted for the Big Beautiful Bill that is causing these rural hospitals to close!

You tone-deaf moron! You are the one voting for legislation that is destroying rural access to care!

You also passed the Big Ugly Bill that cut funding for Medicaid at the same time it mandated requirements that essentially forced people off the program. You freaking give a pittance while ripping away a limb. Hypocrite.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

I named my ostomy bag Congressman Mark Alford because it’s full of shit too!

And YOU voted for that ā€œBig Beautiful Billā€ that stripped health care coverage and dollars from states and patients!

You are beating a dead horse issue. You fucked said horse by massively trimming back the funding soi you don’t get to act like you are saving them now. You can’t ad the lube after you’ve already screwed them…

Bullshit, markie-boy. You repubs are killing people.

You mean the largest cut to rural healthcare in America history to then add a pathetic amount back.

GTFO of Missouri Congressman Mark Alford, and take your Bible with you.

Nonsense

And who voted yes on the terrible big bill??🤮🤔Lil’ Marky Mark

Then, why did you vote for the big, beautiful bill

Big Beautiful BS!

Why did you approve a budget that cut their funding? Is this more reelection rhetoric? Too little too late. You are such a disappointment.

Is that why so many rural hospitals closed down and the care centers are being shut too so tell me

According to analyses from KFF and congressional reports, recent federal legislation passed by Republicans has reduced long-term Medicaid funding, directly impacting rural hospitals and clinics.Major federal spending legislation enacted by Republicans has triggered significant long-term funding reductions for rural healthcare systems.šŸ“Š The Legislative CutsAccording to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal reconciliation package cuts over $900 billion from Medicaid nationwide.Estimated $137 billion cut from rural areasPermanent reductions in baseline federal supportMillions of rural residents facing uninsurance risksāš ļø Impact on Rural HospitalsAdvocacy groups like Protect Our Care state that fragile rural facilities face severe financial strain.
Congressman Mark Alford promising healthcare don’t match his actions and cuts.
Actions always speak louder than the word of men.

Mark is one dumb f. You cut Medicaid by trillions and think ur small bs fund is going to bring the back.. lol

Such a crock of šŸ’©!

That about sums it up.
