Anti-Union corporatist Josh Hawley’s political strategy is to win over working people by shaming corporations for opposing violent insurrection, discrimination, and voter suppression.Quite the political bank shot, which is a euphemism for “he thinks Americans are stupid.”

Oligarchy defined: The most powerful corporations in America get together to plan how to control legislation in dozens of states
[….]
8:10 PM · Apr 11, 2021
Some of the comments:
How many corporations decided they could no longer abide by states that allowed segregated public accommodations?
Think about how the MLB decided they would no longer abide by state laws that prevented Negros from playing together on baseball fields.
What are you going to do?
Yeah can’t they just let Republicans suppress voters in peace?
Oligarchy-
See January 6, 2021
Hmm it’s almost like corporate lobbyists have been up to this for years but u liked it then
I’m sure Josh is equally opposed to the work ALEC has been doing for many years (sarcasm)
Like corporations and Republicans never had a cup of coffee together? Nice try, Josh.
No dear, the most powerful co”s in the USA get together to discuss how to stop giving money to states, parties and politicians trying to keep minorities and people of color from voting. You scared? You should be!
Um, y’all are the ones trying to limit who can vote.
Sounds like you should make a stand and return all your corporate contributions.
That’s laugh-out-loud funny! Now tell us how you don’t accept corporate donations, campaign or otherwise, since it would create an appearance of impropriety or an outright conflict of interest.
What’s that? Speak up! We, the People, can’t seem to hear you.
GOP set all this in motion. “Corporations are people”. This was efforts to line the pockets of lawmakers through lobbyists and contributions to campaigns. And this is EXACTLY how it was predicted to play out. Funny how it’s not as cool when against you huh?
I thought Republican values reflected that corporations are like people? Seems like no man, woman, company would want to back such an obvious racist set of voting restrictions.
Oh, but then there’s the GOP!
Think about this, Biden is trying to raise corporate taxes and yet they are still against Republican attempts to limit voter rights. Let that sink in Josh, we’ll wait.
They’ve been doing it forever. They just used to do it behind closed doors and in ways you liked. Maybe if you actually listened to your constituents we wouldn’t have to count on corporations being more in touch with the national pulse.
Oligarchy defined means a small group of people having control of a country or organization.
This is for all the kids who have a history test tomorrow and have seen Josh Hawley’s tweet by mistake
Theocracy is a form of oligarchy…
Isn’t that what you’re going for?Also, if that is suppose to be a definition you texted there, I think you better actually look up the definition this time.
That’s what they’ve been doing up to this point, now you don’t like it?
Republicans supported Corp. donations saying they deserved a voice too. So now they are speaking up. They listen to their customers and employees. Politicians like you do not listen.
Live with it.
“I love the free market, unless the free market does something that I don’t like”
Oligarchy defined. The people already with power and money in government try to fix the voting to disenfranchise fellow citizens so they can get or stay in govt office.
#StopVoterSuppression
It’s called listening to their consumers and being smart enough to know that all these voter bills are just voter supression under the guise of “integrity” nothing less.
Fascism defined: the will of the people takes a back seat to desires of those in power without popular consent.
Republicans complaining about corporate influence. That’s rich.
So it’s okay when they conspire with the GOP to weaken labor and environmental standards, but not when they want to protect voting rights? Hypocrisy is so confusing.
Corporations are people, according to Citizens United, so they have right to free speech, #SeditionBoy. Care to rescind that abomination to democracy?
Overturn Citizens United then
What corporations are funding YOU Joshy? Let’s not pretend you are doing this on $5 and $10 donations, m’okay?!
You are saying groups that want to encourage voting are wrong. How can you be in the US Congress and me against more participation in the republic? Did you EVER take any civics class in your life?
A more accurate definition of oligarchy: ALEC’s voter suppression legislation
template being rolled out by gop state legislator minions in dozens of states.
Well, corporations are people, aren’t they? Citizens United not looking so good now, is it?
Fecklessness defined: Josh Hawley seeing rampant voter suppression, doing nothing, then being angry that corporations are more patriotic than he is.
Just like how your GOP colleagues try to control and suppress voters in dozens of states
you know you’ve REALLY taken a wrong turn when even corporate America can see the GOP is a sinking ship.
Looks like you’ll have to do tricks for donations.
But enough about ALEC
You’re such a thin veil
Ever hear of ALEC?
Irony in josh the insurrectionist’s world is clearly dead
Chutzpah, on the other hand, is very much alive.

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Supreme Court Justices appointed by both Democrat and Republican presidents have shared the view that 9 is the right number of SCOTUS seats.
9:38 AM · Apr 11, 2021
Did you ask Merrick Garland?
Putz.
As always, there’s much hilarity in the responses:
After the Jan 6 2021, I don’t believe too many of us care what you think anymore. @RoyBlunt #InsurrectionHasConsequences
MERRICK GARLAND!
Say his name. Say his name a few hundred times if you have to. Learn it. Any time you say anything about Democrats and the Supreme Court, this should pop into your mind:
Merrick Garland.
Uh, yep.
This statement is blind to the entire history of the court, in the hopes of swaying the public in what seems a purposefully dishonest stance by a man who is supposedly a public servant.
But you’re cool with denying Obama’s pick in 2016 and packing the Court with 5 justices picked by presidents who lost the popular vote. So gaming the system is 100% OK when it benefits conservatives. Got it.
Well, now that you mention it.
You forgot to mention how 6 of the 9 justices were appointed by Republicans even though a Republican has gotten more votes than the democratic candidate exactly once since 1988. So please explain to us how the court is representative of the American people
There are 13 circuit courts. When the number was set at 9 – there were 9 circuits. Butt out.
So if 9 is this magical number that is sacred then why was it 8 for over a year from January 2016 to February 2017?
The number of Justices is neither outlined in the Constitution, nor historically stable or inflexible. If the leaning of the court were reversed you would be first in line to loudly call for more justices. Quit trying to mask your partisanship with weak justification
Thanks Senator, can you point me where in the Constitution it says the Supreme Court is made up of 9 justices? I can’t seem to find that part…
If Republicans can do anything they please with Supreme Court nominations, then Democrats can, too. That’s the way this works. MERRICK. GARLAND.
You and the GOP lost all credibility on this after you refused to seat Merrick Garland.
It’s hilarious that you think the SC isn’t partisan when you’ve gone out of your way to make it so…
Um. I’m sure you won’t mind if we don’t pay much attention to what your party has to say about the Supreme Court.
There is no “right number.” There have been more, there have been less. It is only the number it is now. That’s all.
Having nine Supreme Court Justices seems correct to you because six of them are conservative. I’m sure that fact has nothing to do with your opinion.
According to the Constitution it is not up to the Supreme Court’s justices to decide the appropriate number.
And on and on.

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Given how much President Biden loves to talk about unity, his budget shows he’s only interested in uniting his party and putting the interest of his political allies first.
2:44 PM · Apr 10, 2021
There is, of course, much hilarity in the responses:
With all due respect, @RepJasonSmith, you represent a district with extreme poverty and lack of funding for quality education. So far, Biden’s Relief Bill and his initial budget proposal would do more for your district than you ever have in your many years in DC.
GOP’s big lie: Cut taxes on the rich and it will trickle down.
*Between 1989 and 2020, the wealth of the top 1% grew by $23.83 T as that of the bottom 50% by only $1.73 T.
*The top 10% could pay off the national debt and still hold more wealth than the next 90%.
Members of your party appear to have a problem with taking care of the elderly. I’m assuming not all old people are wealthy Republicans? Care to comment? Offer alternatives? Anything?
How are programs that help average Americans and infrastructure that helps everyone put his political allies’ interest first?
It is sure a step up and from the Republican big lie, “Cut taxes on the rich, and it will trickle down.”
He pretty much has unity with a significant number of your constituents; you know, the people you have abandoned to wallow in conspiracy theories. He cares about their future. You don’t.
The nerve of that guy wanting to pull us out of this spiralling, out of control pandemic and recession.
The majority of Americans are in favor, so how is that not unifying Americans?
For example 70% of Americans want gun safety laws yet 100% of Republicans are against it. Unity should involve what Americans want, not party leaders or lobbyists.
Talk to a Missourians that haven’t given you a bunch of money.
Gosh if only he used polite methods like having a group of stooges storm the capital to try and murder his political opponents.
And just how does one negotiate with the party that incited insurrection, ran a disinfo campaign on their own constituents, has no legislation of their own in mind, & only serves to impede getting anything done? Maybe potus is open to suggestions on that.
I think he’s uniting VOTERS just fine thank you.
Passing a bill that only 1% benefited from was real “unifying.”
Stop lying.
Y’all need to check the approval rating champ. Gaslighting isn’t a solution. Performative politics isn’t a policy and the only GQP actions in last 4 yrs were for rich corporate donors NOT regular people. do your job, start with becoming solution oriented and real dialogue
Since the Republicans didn’t do shit for four years. President Biden will finally get it done. You can go hang out with Matt Gaetz. He needs a FRIEND right now.
Ouch. That one left a mark.
I guess you missed it polling shows that a bipartisan majority of Americans support the budget, the stimulus and infrastructure. It’s the @SenateGOP @HouseGOP that have failed to be bipartisan. You know all of you that voted against checks 2 citizens & support for sm business
Oh really? Is that why his policies have the support of a majority of the American people, from all parties? Washington R’s have been given opportunities to negotiate but seem more interested in opposing meaningful legislation & making outrageous demands. Why is that?
Which Biden proposals have the support of less than 50% of the country? Generally his proposals have had from 55% to 80% public support so ….
What is it with Missouri? Is there something in the water?
You don’t want to unite, you want to control, big difference
You’re bad at this.
What are you even talking about, ya doorknob
What’s the point in negotiating with a party whose objective is to simply strip the government for parts and tell people it doesn’t work? Come up with a real solution to a problem, try that first. Then let’s negotiate. Until then, you should donate your salary since it’s a waste.
The voters seem fairly unified. It’s the Republican party that seems out of step.
That’s why Biden has a 66+% approval rating, and most of the country supports his major policies by about 70%. Its only you reflexive jerks in the Congressional GOP who are fighting him on everything, just for the sake of fighting, because you have no principles, or policy.
Republicans that live near me are happy with their stimulus checks and looking forward to repaving roads that are now mainly dirt and bringing broadband internet to our area.
Go sell your lies somewhere else.
Yeah, his allies, the American people. Your allies? Nazi fascists who want to destroy democracy for their own power.
You sound delusional pal.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:
How does what Biden did invalidate the 2nd Amendment?
While you are at it, why do we ban almost all civilians from owning a machine gun? Is it a phony argument that this ban is not supported by the 2nd Amendment?
Tell us, Josh.
What does well-regulated mean.
Whatever the NRA tells him it means.
Even in the 2nd Amendment, The word “regulated” appears several times in the US Constitution. Its meaning is clear.
Inciting insurrection is yet another matter and you are
#GuiltyAF Josh Hawley!
Tfw well regulated militia means nothing to you
[….]
You should watch this again because that’s NOT what he said.
You obviously believe the Constitution is a phony argument as you were a leader of the terrorist attack on January 6. I guess the saying “It takes one to know one” is true.
Well REGULATED militia. Y’all seem to forget that part all the them. Thank goodness Biden doesn’t.
That’s not what he said but nice try with the clip out of context for more fear mongering. Doing nothing isn’t working
[….]
When did he EVER refer to the whole constitution? He speaking about the 2nd amendment and gun laws, don’t twist his words
Josh here doesn’t understand the concept of militia apparently.
…said a guy who literally incited an armed seige of his own government.
Senators that are owned by the gun lobby & incite insurrections can sit this one out
even Scalia said the Second Amendment was not absolute and gun ownership could be regulated.
Were you upholding the constitution when you invited a mob to invade the Capitol resulting in 6 deaths?
“Josh Hawley: The Face of New American Fascism”
“Hawley was the first senator to announce his plan to oppose the certification of Biden’s Electoral College win. Hawley’s action was “motivated by ambition” & to be the first member of the “Sedition Caucus”
[….]
you’re putting words he didn’t say in @potuss mouth and you know it full well
@POTUS said that no constitutional provision is absolute, and furthermore that he’s not doing anything contrary to the 2nd Amendment
Why do Republicans have such an aversion to the truth?
Why aren’t you in prison for sedition yet?
Don’t you ever get tired of misleading the American people Josh? Because we’re sure tired of it.
And we’ll never forget 1/6/21.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Admitting you’re part of a militia may NOT be in your best interests right now Joshy.
The new phrase appears to be “minutemen of the state”.
Didn’t they teach you “no amendment to the Constitution is absolute” when you were in law school? How could you have been a constitutional law professor and not know that?
Aww Josh..someday..when you grow out of puberty you’ll understand
Remind me again how many amendments have the word “regulated” in it.
1.6.21
Yeah, that and the photo are gonna keep coming up in perpetuity.
“Well-Regulated”
How come they won’t let me have a nuclear warhead ? My right to bear arms is being infringed !!!!
Trebuchet. What it lacks in rate of fire it makes up for in ammo flexibility.
That’s rich coming from the guy who tried to bring down our government.
You’ve finally answered the question “is Josh Hawley full of shit or just stupid?”.
Clearly you’re both!
Well what part of “well regulated militias” is true and applicable to life in 21st century America?
Using old language and obsolete circumstances to justify unregulated use of firearms is phony.
Like if you care about the constitution.
#ExpelJoshHawley
#SeditiousGOPWhat part of “well-regulated” don’t you get, Josh? And what part of the 2nd Amendment isn’t a suicide pact?
Also, every constitutional right isn’t without limits, even the 2nd Amendment. But you know you that already, Yale Boy. You’re just leveraging white grievance for power.
but josh you’re an insurrectionist that supported overthrowing american democracy. if you think you’ll be remembered for anything else, you’re kidding yourself.
Maybe Josh or some other constitutional scholar can explain why I can’t buy Stinger missiles at Cabela’s. I can see why the 2A won’t let me buy arms that I can’t physically bear, but shoulder fired missiles seem like they’d be covered.
We’re telling you. Trebuchet is the thing.
Your sedition demonstrates your hate for that American document.
Always superficial in your argument; rarely any depth of understanding.
Whereas Hawley has always preferred sedition and treason.
[….]
Says the man who pumpfisted the insurrectionists before they stormed the capitol and tried to undo our whole consitutional system.
If you’re so strict about the Constitution then you should resign based on the 14th
Thank you for demonstrating another phony argument. This is fun, do another one
Josh tried to cancel half of America’s votes in the last election because he thought it would be an easy way to kickstart his 2024 campaign.
Maybe he should sit this one out.
Insurrections lecturing about the constitution, that’s rich
What part of “regulated militia” is it hard for you to understand?
People who raise a fist in support of insurrectionists lose their seat at the table. The FBI is comin’ for you, it’s just a matter of time…
That is called broken logic. He said the arguments abusing the second amendment are phony, not the second amendment.
I don’t expect you to be able to manage consistent logic.
All criticism and no action. That sums you up.
Ahh January 6 guy thinking he can speak with authority on the constitution.
We don’t take advice on the Constitution from seditionists.
Dude, you backed an insurrection to try to overthrow the government. You have no interest in the Constitution. THIS is a phony argument.
No. He said there were phony arguments about the second amendment.
Sedition is not constitutional….
Remember that “well regulated” part? You guys always forget that part.
Republicans: “The Constitution is absolute!”
The Constitution: “I have 27 Amendments.”
He didn’t say that. Do better.
Benedict Hawley says what?
Go fuck yourself, traitor.
What does the term “well regulated” mean to you?

And what is Vicky’s plan for when those same small businesses can’t get any customers because all of our roads and bridges are too far gone to drive on?
You need to see your paycheck cancelled, not dwindled
Where was this concern for small businesses when you were cashing their ppe loan checks??? #Hypocrite
Hey, Home Economics teacher if these small businesses make more money because of Biden’s package which they most likely will no wages get cut but they increase.
Also how can you get on your Soapbox and brag about Trumps wage growth when you lost 3 MILLION JOBS the last 4 years
The only thing we witnessed under the previous administration was another GOP led economic collapse–
Job growth/loss by administration–
Trump = -2,876,000 LOSS
Obama = 11,572,000 GAIN
Bush II = 1,357,000 GAIN
Clinton = 22,994,000 GAIN
Bush I = 2,633,000 GAINDem (16 years) = 34.5 MILLION
Rep (16 years) = 1.1 MILLION

And your continuing lies a deception never falters! You just keep pandering to your donors.
And some of the responses to Representative Hartzler’s (r) previous Tweet:
Why don’t you suggest something better then, Vicky? What’s your grand plan for actually improving things?
Once again you are twisting the facts/misrepresenting the situation. I wish you were more honest in presenting facts to your constituents.
Help or get the hell out of the way
Riiiiiiiiight.
Years of wage growth? What a bunch of lies. My tax rate is 28%. If I have to pay 28% in fed income tax, so should everyone else. Hopefully, the Democrats will get rid of all the loopholes that corporations big & small get so that they pay $0 in taxes. Like my MO employer.
I am for it. Take back that tax break u and the idiot trump gave to the richest 1 percenters and help take care of the middle class
Do you have any idea how much Missouri taxpayers who own small businesses actually pay, @RepHartzler? Because I do. It’s time you paid your fair share.
Reminder: Corporate tax rates were 35% just a few years ago.
Reminder: Vicky Hartzler is a pathological liar.
There you go.

President Biden’s plan to hike taxes would inevitably hurt hardworking, middle-class Americans.Roughly one million small businesses could be affected by these increases, undeniably limiting their American Dream.

“…inevitably…” As in “trickle down”? Yeah, no.
As always, there was much hilarity in the responses:
It’s not a tax increase except for the ones who r rich. Remember the tax decreases that u and the Republicans gave to the ones who didn’t need it?
Trickle down theory has never worked and never will
The corporations are still getting a tax cut. Biden’s increase doesn’t raise their tax rate to what is was before Trump’s tax cut.
Sedition also undeniably limits the American Dream.
Vicky, show us on your tax return where the bad president hurt you. Or better yet show us, your constituents, your tax returns for the last decade so we can make informed decisions about retaining your services as our rep. I bet you won’t.
I make a very good living, I’m middle class & live in your district.
These tax increases aren’t going to affect me at all.
Just you, welfare queen.
I wasn’t aware middle-class included those making $400,000+. Get real; either bring a legitimate complaint and or viable solutions the current leadership can implement. [….]
Since when is someone making $400,000 or more middle class?
You are incorrect and should probably make sure you know the facts of how legislation will actually affect your non-wealthy constituents.
Just as the Biden administration is pushing to raise taxes on corporations, a new study finds that at least 55 of America’s largest firms paid no taxes last year on billions of dollars in profits. … Many also received millions of dollars in tax rebates.
Your blatant dishonesty is something to behold. What you’re really concerned about is Biden hiking YOUR taxes after all of the government windfalls you’ve found yourself the beneficiary of.
Biden tax hike is for people making 400,000 and over. Stop lying. You should had listened when he spoke last week.
[….]
Wrong.
@RepHartzler, what is it with you and the continuous bullshit dog whistles? We all know the only reason you are complaining is because now your donors are gonna have to pay an equitable amount of taxes. Quit trying to gaslight your constituents.
You are embarrassing
But of course having their power grid collapse or water systems fail would be just fine. You really are #Clueless aren’t you.
Keep your bullshit to yourself, Vic.
