From a local legislative candidate’s social media post, two days ago:

[XXXXXXXXXX]
[May 12, 2026]

[….]

We are headed to Jefferson City today!

As the Missouri Supreme Court hears the case on Missouri’s latest gerrymandered maps, we will be there to protest rigged maps, and promoting People Not Politicians MO’s Let Us Vote rally.

This is more than just a map. This is politicians choosing their voters, instead of voters choosing their politicians.

No MO Rigged Maps!

The candidate received a posted threat in response:

[XXXXXXXXXX}
The ICE [….] MEN HEROES will be in attendance , eliminating the Democrat terrorists and murdering Democrat parasites .
[….]

The social media corporation’s response to the threat:

[….]

Thanks for reporting this comment

Awaiting review
We use technology and review teams to remove anything that doesn’t follow our standards as quickly as possible.

[….]

The candidate is not running for national or federal office but is an individual who filed to run for elected office to serve and represent their community.

This is where and who we are in 21st Century America.

Qui tacet consentire videtur.

KAROLINE LEAVITT [White House Press Secretary]: ‘…The Democrat Party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals. That is who the Democrat Party is catering to. Not the Trump administration and not the White House and the Republican Party, who is standing up for law-abiding Americans not just across the country, but around world…’

They have a plan. History reveals it.

Somebody should probably tell him

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 8, 2026]

Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. Period.
We will not leave until the Strait of Hormuz is open and that threat is eliminated. That’s how you protect American energy, lower gas prices, and stand up for America’s farmers and small businesses.
The pressure is building, & the American people expect results…⏰
[….]

In case anyone is keeping score, the Strait of Hormuz was open before Donald Trump started his splendid little war, Iran did not have nuclear weapons (they signed an agreement which Donald Trump ditched), and gas and diesel prices are still going up.

Stating “…We will not leave until the Strait of Hormuz is open and that threat is eliminated…” is a special kind of stupid.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Mark, after Donnie is gone, who will be your pick for the next cult leader?

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

It was open before the war and Iran did not have a nuke. It’s a war of choice. Republican choice.

Maybe if we hadn’t illegally gone into IRAN..wouldn’t be an issue.

Mark Alford loves Trump brand koolade and thinks we all should.

The stupid love trump

If Iran is a no-longer a threat…why is the straight not opened? If it was all about Nukes and we blew everything up…why not get out?

We will not get a better deal than the JCPOA. There is no exit strategy and Iran can take the economic pain far longer than poor rural American can. Enjoy your high gas prices. I’ll enjoy my EVs charged from solar panels.

Let’s talk about who tore up the previous agreement 8 years ago.

wrong. They were compliant until trump got jealous of the black man .

The mic drop at the White House Press Association dinner was priceless…

Ah, the Strait was open and the threat was non-existent until Trump fucked everything up. Are you with Trump?

That’s telling him.

How about making Trump get congressional approval like he is required to by law?

Iran holds all the cards, dumbass!

We obliterated their nuclear program a year ago?

Why did Trump unilaterally withdraw from the JCPOA 8 years ago today? All he ever stated publicly was it “was a bad deal” and he fixated on us sending them some cash… That’s it.

He never understood the deal we had, and his loyalists and donors wanted it torn up. Look how much profit the oil companies are making now!

Wait! Back in June 2025 Trump bombed Iran’s Nuclear Reactors. After the bombing, Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio held a press conference.Trump stated that the bombing were a complete success! That the bombing completely obliterated the Nuclear Reactors and that It would take many years before Iran would have the ability to build nuclear weapons! Hegseth also used the term obliterated, claiming that that the Iran capability to produce nuclear weapons was completely destroyed!
So, if Iran’s nuclear weapons capability was completely destroyed last June, then how could Iran possibly have the ability to develop nuclear weapons now?

Because Trump lied???

What I’m Shocked! “The Greatest President of Mark Alford’s lifetime “ lied ?! That just can’t be! I know that Mark has a reasonable explanation for this! As Mark always says “God has a plan “ ! Of course if God’s plan is different from Trump’s plan then God just like the Pope is going to get a lecture from Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio what it means to be a
Christian!

Just another distraction.
Hormuz was open.
There was an agreement about nuclear development.
Time, money, and lives later, we’re now trying to get back to where we were.
Even Saudi Arabia isn’t in the Ballroom Republicans’ corner on this one.

Well Republicans aren’t doing a very good job of it if that’s the goal.

So before the felon started an unnecessary war and ripped up the JCPOA, we had all that.
Brilliant.

[….] the Strait is still not fully open, US forces struck Iranian facilities just yesterday, and the administration is now negotiating a deal that lifts sanctions and releases frozen Iranian funds in exchange for a nuclear moratorium. That’s not eliminating the threat. That’s the Iran deal Dozing Donnie tore up in 2018. Thousands died to get back to where we started. [….]

Hurting due to tariffs and poor foreign relations policies as well.

Thank you Mark Alford for the HIGH Gas Prices

Why do you want to be on the wrong side of history?

No, but Trump can get a $1BB ballroom.

Iran doesn’t need to develop a nuclear weapon to enact economic harm.
Nitwit.

He mean like how tariffs are sending a record number of farmers into bankruptcy?

Our president is senile and controls 5000 nuclear weapons. Who are we to judge anyone?

The Obama negotiated agreement pretty much kept them from getting nuclear weapons. The strait was open gas was reasonable.trumps war hurt consumers, gave a windfall of 20 billion to the oil companies, and mysterious people keep making stock market profits buying or shorting stocks after trump announcements. And we are paying a BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY for war when it could go to Universal health care, childcare, schools, feeding people housing the homeless. Please RESIGN NOW YOU REPRESENT TRUMP NOT MISSOURIANS.

Wasn’t the strait already open and Iran didn’t have a nuclear weapon before this all started? And wasn’t there an agreement in place already for all of this in 2016 that was torn up by the president?

Are these lower gas prices in the room with you???

Heh. Someone won the internets today.

I thought y’all claimed we wiped out their capabilities??

These guys are so stupid it’s pitiful

The Straight your dear leader got closed? The one that WAS open and Rump closed? THAT straight? Man, I thought we were talking about a different straight. My bad.

You sawed off liar, I laugh at the way Republicans are trying to sell oil and gas price gouging as a righteous thing while being a lil coward unwilling to follow your Article I powers to declare a legitimate war. The people who swallow your bullshit are figuring out you’re nothing but a lying hypocrite. 🤥

Even on your own page, people don’t take you seriously. More than twice the number of laugh responses than likes.

Boy! – You are drunk with MAGA kool-aid.

Alford you’re a dumbass.

Oh and Trump and Hegseth killed school aged kids due to their incompetence and frail egos. Again, kick rocks.

It was cool when we had a deal in place and every intelligence organization agreed it was working.
But you stupid chucklefukks thought it would be fun to cancel it.

That’s how you get America into a huge mess with no reasonable conclusion.

Only fools believe this.

Lol, in otherwords, the same deal that trump tore up. What a fucking dumbass idiot

The Obama agreement that dumpy tore up dealt with all of that. Dumbshit!

Thank you, Joe Biden (D)!

Joe Biden (D) [2020 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford

[May 7, 2026]

❗Breaking ground on a stronger, safer future for Missouri❗
Joined Governor Mike Kehoe, local leaders, and Missouri Department of Transportation today in Columbia to kick off the I-70 expansion—bringing three lanes in each direction from Rocheport to Columbia. This transformational investment will reduce congestion, improve safety, and keep our state moving.
Proud to stand alongside community partners as we lay the foundation for long-term growth, and to continue working in Congress to support projects that build on this momentum right here in MO-04! 🛣️

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Mark, why do you look so happy? Is it because you stole a Democratic funded project to put your name on it?

Shouldn’t you be in Washington! You have some bad issues there!

Is Mark using Joe Biden’s shovel????🪏 Since this was Biden’s legislation? Awesome work, indeed.

few republicans voted for Biden’s infrastructure bill, but they all love taking credit for the results.

First time anyone in the photos have held hand tools

Is Alford wearing his own personal microphone?

A huge thank you to President Joe Biden and his congress for funding this project. Dang I miss Democrats!

Thanks Joe Biden for signing the infrastructure bill after the last Trump administration had Infrastructure Week for 4 years and did nothing

Say that again. Just love how repubs take credit for programs they voted against. Vote Blue.

Adding more lanes rarely reduces traffic congestion long-term because of a phenomenon known as induced demand. While new lanes might temporarily ease congestion, the increased capacity attracts more drivers, leading to more trips and longer commutes. Within 5–10 years, traffic typically returns to or exceeds previous congestion levels

[….] We’re just reminding people that the money allocated for this is a result of President Biden’s infrastructure bill, yet Mark Alford and Mike Kehoe are taking credit for it.

Thank Joe Biden for all the infrastructure improvements.

Thanks President Biden for your hard work taking care of people

Winning!

Thanks, Joe Biden! Infrastructure bill still paying for itself!

Great Job Biden!

Thank you President Biden for the infrastructure bill that made this possible.

Thanks to the Biden infrastructure bill.

Now if we only could afford gas to drive on it.

Nobody can afford to drive on the damn thing

Regular Unleaded yesterday, 5/6/26 $4.30 gallon in Lee’s Summit

Can we thank the Biden Administration ,or is that against the MAGA Cult?

You’re a joke!!!!!

Trying to take credit for Biden’s infrastructure bill that EVERY Missouri Republican congressman and woman voted against, I see. 🙄

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

You had nothing to do with this other than digging a hole!

The federal funding for this project was approved in President Biden’s infrastructure bill, which Mark has always opposed. Now he’s there to claim credit for it. 🤡

Don’t forget to thank Biden’s infrastructure act for your photo op, Mark

Thanks president Biden and now republicans are trying to to take credit for for your accomplishments

You didn’t have any role in this, but you couldn’t pass up the photo opp, could you.

Did you notice the gas prices across the highway? [….]

The Biden Infrastructure program is the only source of your “wins…” 😂

Where do the funding come from? Biden’s infrastructure bill that yall tried to kill? So now you take credit. Congressman Mark Alford you continue to be an embarrassment and disgrace.

About that ratio

Today, from Rick Brattin (r)

Rick Brattin for Congress
[April 23, 2026]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 23 2026
Conservative Rick Brattin Announces Endorsement from Mark and Patricia McCloskey

“We are proud to endorse Rick Brattin for Congress. We have worked with him on efforts to protect the Second Amendment, and we know he is the type of conservative fighter that President Donald J. Trump needs in Congress.” -Mark and Patricia McCloskey

(JEFFERSON CITY, MO) – Conservative Rick Brattin announced that he has received the endorsement of conservative attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey.

“We are proud to endorse Rick Brattin for Congress. We have worked with him on efforts to protect the Second Amendment, and we know he is the type of conservative fighter that President Donald J. Trump needs in Congress,” said Mark and Patricia.

“Mark and Patricia are freedom fighters who have helped defend patriots who were targeted by Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice, and I am honored to have their support,” said Rick Brattin.

[….]

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Endorsed by gun toting criminals who were convicted of assault and harassment. Fixed it for you.

Is this satire?

Sadly, no.

Is this an Onion Post?

Sadly, no.

Not sure this endorsement will be the win you hope it will be.

Is this The Onion?

See above.

It is just hilarious that you think this is a “flex.”

Ah, yes. Mark McCloskey. The 7th place candidate for governor. What a win for you.

Congress is supposed to hold check presidential powers. Are we worried that hitching yourself to the president so hard is not what our founding fathers intended?

This is a joke, right??

This gotta be satire.

Cringeworthy trigger discipline……

Is this a joke or real?

Is this from The Onion?

I would rethink your campaign strategy

The funny thing is, you’re serious about this endorsement – like it’s a good thing. Wow.

Not impressive.

That endorsement speaks loudly about your character.

OMG – I thought this was an ad paid for the Democrats! What the heck??

Being endorsed by Karen 1 and Karen 2 isn’t really a flex.

…this isn’t the flex you think it is. Aren’t you embarrassed?

I always say you people couldn’t be any bigger of a joke but then you prove me wrong.

OMG….PLEASE tell me this is satire…..

Imagine thinking this was a good idea. 🤣

Is this a joke? You’re joking right? Nobody wants their endorsement.

Is this serious? From the gun waving duo?

Ohhhh I had forgot about these losers!

You are as stupid as they look….

Endorsed by the lunatic fringe…

You’ve made it all the way to the bottom of the barrel.

You’ve made it all the way to the bottom of the barrel.

You think this is a positive? And with that image? Woow. I hope your voters send you packing.

It’s like you’re auditioning for SNL not running for Congress…what a mess.

This has to be a parody! I guess you want to lose? Really? These two idiots were the best you could do? 🤣🤣🤣

Never seen so many idiots cling to the titanic intentionally.

Congrats on your endorsement from Karens With Guns 🤡

Those two couldn’t shoot themselves out of a paper bag. Actually, they are most likely going to shoot themselves trying to get out of a paper bag. How embarrassing that these are your endorsements.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 21, 2026]

🚨🚨Show Me State showing up for common sense:

The Missouri House just passed legislation to protect the privacy and safety of women and girls in public spaces. It’s simple: no men in women’s spaces.
Common sense shouldn’t be controversial, and Missouri isn’t backing down.
[….]

Who’s going to check? You, Mark (r)?

Some of the responses:

Never had a problem with a trans person in my entire 60 years of living.
In fact, all my worst experiences have been caused by straight, white men.

Thank you for accepting you’re the problem.

Scapegoating a minority group won’t save your party from losing your seats. Women and girls don’t need to be protected from trans folks. It’s cis men who are the problem.
Trans women are women.

All female restrooms have stalls and complete privacy…you wouldn’t even know a trans. female even came into that restroom. Who is it exactly that you really FEAR [….] ??

Again, who’s going to check?

You mean like in dressing rooms of beauty pagents like the President Felon claimed he did?

Does this also apply to US presidents who like to walk into girls’ changing rooms? Or just everyday people trying to pee in peace?

Common sense should not be controversial, everybody has to go pee. So give everybody access to bathrooms. We don’t have to gender them. Literally just have a singular room with a sink and a toilet and a changing table. That’s all you need. Make singular rooms the bathrooms. I don’t even understand why people are so stupid that they can’t even understand this basic concept.

Something you are lacking common sense

Common sense? Why don’t you come up with a viable healthcare plan that focuses open not just seeks to condemn a singular segment of the population?

Excellent l, I assume this also applies to women’s health, services, and rights too?
No, ah, okay so just more controlling behavior then, I see

I’m not worried about trans women, Are we ever going to address the issue of men being predators? Starting with your president maybe? Can we keep men out of women’s doctors appointments?

Seriously with all the problems of the world where people piss is the Hill you choose 😒🙄

Like in a beauty pageant dressing room?

I’ve never had issues with a Trans person ever in my life, it’s people like you that have always screwed me over…

Why are you so obsessed with bathrooms???

Such a non-issue.

A bathroom is a bathroom.

So you agree, men are the reason women don’t feel safe. Thanks for clearing that up, Mark.
Transphobia isn’t cute. Do better.

You people are OBSESSED with the bathroom. That’s weird and creepy.

You spend so much time coming up with “solutions” to problems that don’t exist. How about solutions to problems that do exist- health care,education, and criminal President who ignores laws and court decisions, he deficit, Medicare, Social Security, affordability, illegal tarriffs and undeclared war.

We are really have a hard time out here in Missouri with gasoline and grocery prices going up and healthcare insurance becoming unaffordable. Education and infrastructure of this country absolutely underfunded. While we waste billions on an unpopular and unconstitutional war on the other side of the world. You then focus on this as how you best serve the people you represent? Get to work taking care of your people and quit wasting everyones time on these non issues. We are watching and waiting for you to do your job!

We do not need lawmakers today, who are not focused on the real predominant issues in our nation. We have broken systems and housing, healthcare, education, and food security. We need to be directing our efforts there working for everyday Americans and Working families.
To spend any more exhaustive resources on pursuing minorities… People who do not harm and do not commit crime in the way that Congressman Mark Alford is describing is a waste of resources.
How about we elect somebody who is actually fiscally conservative, a Democrat! I will work to reduce overhead spending, and ensure that no working family pays greater in tax. Instead, we will go after the ultra wealthy and corporations.

There are more children in Texas with measles than trans people in sports. What were you worried about again?

Bathrooms don’t hurt people. Predators hurt people.
Get it right. And just because you created some law that disenfranchises and discriminate against trans individuals does not mean that a single predator or perpetrator is going to be stopped. You’ve directed your efforts again to a population that does not commit this type of crime.

I cant think of one time in 46 years that I’ve ever been victimized by a transgender person. It’s always been straight men. What are we gonna do about them?

Imagine you put this much effort into dealing with the housing crisis, cost of living, and health care shortage. But since republicans have no ideas on those things, they attack minorities instead

Kids starving. Homeless population growing. People getting kicked off healthcare. Rape academy website had 62 million visitors in one month. But please, tell me more about men in bathrooms.
Could our government be more of a waste????

Who cares. Just wash your hands. There are bigger issues to worry about.

TRANSLATION: “I got nothing! The Iranians are yanking our chain. JD is worthless. Gas isn’t coming down anytime soon. We are so screwed. I’m hoping you’re stupid enough to think this actually happens. Vote for me!”

I have never had any issues with trans women but I have seen a republican woman melt down because a female born lesbian had a short haircut and a button up shirt. The republican thought she was trans.
Republicans are too stupid to be the gender police. They are usually wrong and just attack lesbians and black women.

OMG the world is on fire and this is what you post? You tiny, ignorant, unnecessary little man.

Republican men are obsessed with other people’s genitals. They demonize already marginalized communities and go home to their GRINDR accounts. Why don’t you try leaving others alone to live their lives. Vote all these corrupt losers out in November.

FUCK off with your bullshit theocratic fascism ya maga a88hole Just a washed up fox news talking head.

Is this what people you represent are most concerned about? Deflect, distract, dipshit.

Stay our of our daughters’ pants, transphobic perv.

0.5-0.8% of the American population identify as transgender.
Calm tf down lol.
You’re making yourselves look stupid.

It’s in his nature.

Mark you’re a freaking idiot

You are just looking for people to hate. I trust my kids in the bathroom with a trans person before a Trump supporter.

How bout you get us healthcare you moron!

No men in women’s healthcare decisions. Try that, Mark. If you spent 1/10th of the mental energy you spend on destroying the lives of trans individuals on issues that could actually improve the lives of Missourians…you might be worth your position. What a ridiculous waste of time you are.

Your infatuation with the genitals of others is weird. Just weird. Let people poop. 💩

Would you please for once do something actual useful for your constiuents instead of these niche ‘social freakout’ bullshit topics?

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[April 21, 2026]

🚨Happening NOW: my hearing on the Arctic Frost SCANDAL!
We’re releasing new explosive documents that expose this fishing expedition was nothing more than a political agenda targeted at the American Right. Tune in!
[….]

Some of the responses:

Is the scandal in the room with you now?

Heh.

“Artic frost scandal” ??? are for real.?? Get to the bottom of tRumps name being all over the trumpstien files. Stop ignoring compelling evidence that the president of the United States raped kids!!! We already know he has raped women. Not a deal breaker for you immoral morons. Moron is spelled m.a.g.a.

Eric Schmitt is an embarrassment 🤡

You mean the Georgia case where it just came out that the only election fraud in Georgia was Elon the felon 🖕

Someday Republicans will actually do something that actually benefits Americans. Been waiting 47 years…

Keep auditioning for the AG job. Never mind representing the people who elected you, as misguided as they may have been.

This is NOT in service of your constituents.

All show without any facts! He’s all hat no cattle.

Quiet, piggy.

The people of Missouri are suffering under outrageous prices for food and fuel as well as health care insurance and housing. Our infrastructure and education systems are woefully underfunded as we wage an unconstitutional and obscenely expensive war. Then this is what you tell us you are worried about? No sir, no sir, no sir! You need to quit your vanity projects and get to work representing the people of Missouri and the United States as you swore an oath to do. We are waiting and watching for you to act, please do so.

Anything to avoid talking about gas and grocery prices … Good job, cement head.

BS

Are you going to play the tape of Trump asking for 11k votes? Play that one senator!!! Play that one. Dare you. You’re a bootlicking, do nothing lying coward.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

This past weekend:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 18, 2026]

Cutting red tape & lowering costs 🇺🇸
House Republicans passed the RED Tape Act this week—ending duplicative reviews that delay projects, raise prices, and hold back American energy & manufacturing.
More efficiency, less bureaucracy.

Anything else going on in the world? Just asking.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

In short.
The profits of the few should not outweigh the health, safety, and wellbeing of the many.
A Democratic Socialist is not a Marxist Socialist or a Communist. A Democratic Socialist is one who seeks to restrain the self-destructive excesses of capitalism and channel the Government’s use of our tax money into creating opportunities for everyone.
Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically–to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few.
A Democratic Socialist does not want to destroy private corporations, but does want to bring them under greater democratic control. The government could use regulations and tax incentives to encourage companies to act in the public interest and outlaw destructive activities such as exporting jobs to low-wage countries and polluting our environment.

and here’s the Trump administration taking a 10% stake in Intel Corp, with plans to get a stake of Lockheed Martin and who knows what else. Sounds Communist to me. 👍

Sounds like a mafia shakedown to me – no one seems to know where that ‘stake’ is or who’s getting the $$$…

mr. nut job: communism= Marxism= socialism= democrat= lying, killing to take away their money, insurrectionist, on American, not welcome

BREAKING: The Strait of Hormuz is open. No closed. It’s open again, but only partially. I think it’s open, but they fired on a ship trying to cross. Oh no, it’s closed again. I mean totally open without restrictions. Oh wait, never mind. It’s closed again.

sounds just like the whole 🍊🎪 so that the billionaires can play games with the stock market to make more $$$$

You mean when you check to see what possible unintended consequences could happen and then double check to make sure that rash and uninformed decisions don’t create complete chaos and trickle down to economic hardships for the rest of us? Oh, say like since January 2025?

How’s that strait opening you were boasting about yesterday working?

Trumps war of aggression costing a BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY doesn’t that need to stop? It’s a waste of lives, resources and that’s American Universal health care blowing up the middle east. We have the money to improve everyone life,but instead our tax dollars are lining trumps pockets. Trump must be impeached removed and jailed. You should RESIGN NOW IF YOU CANT VOTE TO IMPEACH TRUMP.

Sure, it is much easier to get no-bid contracts for your sons with less oversight and bureaucracy.

So jerkford when will healthcare be affordable

Efficiency needed for expenditures for photo ops.

UNless you are a married woman who wants to vote?

Keep on gaslighting, my friend. The say it always works with maggots.

Something is wrong when Hegseth uses a line from Pulp Fiction as if it were from the Bible. Must have been the drink talking.

#lies
#liar

What about the reviews that prevent this administration from insider trading?

Where’s my Doge check?

Mark doesn’t even have a concept of a plan or a clue.

Is the red tape in the room now 😂 😂 what a freak Mark is.

Gonna be great in December when 10-15 million lose their health insurance. Right after the midterms! 😎

Why not look into who is benefiting from the markets being manipulated on a weekly basis? It’s super easy to track who is buying, selling right before Hormuz is opened, shut. Also, what about those identified in Epstein files? And why isn’t Congress protecting US Constitution and democracy???

“More efficiency, less bureaucracy” is a fine claim, but tell us exactly what is being cut or removed.

Know what else raises prices? The tariffs you cymbal-clapped for.

Heh.

Republicans cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid, $500 billion out of Medicare and took food out of the mouths of babies to give tax cuts to the richest people in our country.
On Tax Day, working families are feeling the impact of their Robin Hood in reverse agenda.

How could you do that with all the photo ops here? Went past your Raymore office today….gave it the 1 finger salute 😁🤡

In other words, unregulated capitalism at its worse. Zero safeguards and no oversight for the health and safety of the consumers. No obligation to produce safe and effective products. Ford Pinto. Thalidomide. DDT. Diazinon. Chlorpyrifos. Lead paint. Leaded Gasoline. Any of those ring a bell in that empty head of yours?
While you are at, just gut the FDIC too. Protect shoddy bank practice.

Translation: more pollution, more product issues, more money for companies.

Speaking of red tape and costs look at all the red tape and costs associated with the Save America Act, primarily for married women who took their spouses last name? Please explain how that’s not creating more red tape and costs?

Also making everyone less safe due to little to no regulation on what kind of toxins are making this country more toxic than it already is. Mark: do you ever read the comments on your posts? I doubt it because there are more laugh reactions than likes on every one of your posts!! I’d sit down and shut up if I were you. 🙄

More like set democracy on fire act. You’re an imbecile and I cannot wait to vote you out.

Mark congratulating himself on removing protections for consumers. Making sure big polluters can rush to their higher pollution levels. He’s making sure environmental dangers aren’t studied. Making sure that drugs go on the market without actually checking to see if they’re safe. Making sure that OSHA laws aren’t fully followed, claiming safety rules are unconstitutional. Making sure that big polluters and big oil projects get shoved through without proper vetting. That’s what the Republicans are all about, because that’s who they get their big donations from. Manufacturing is WAY down under Trump. GDP was negative some months last year, and only half a percent in December. Unemployment is up. 2025 saw negative job numbers. Gas prices are through the roof, heating bills next winter are going to break families, right as the Republicans also cut heating subsidies for poor people. Electricity is up, and it’s going to skyrocket with all of the AI companies that paid off Trump and people like Mark to deregulate and try to ban any regulation. The very dire situation the working people are in right now is only going to get worse. And Mark is now ensuring that Safety is in the toilet. Trump is destroying the country from the inside out, and Mark is complicit.

How much of this is to remove oversight so they can get away with more blatant crimes and corruption?

The Pope is even shaking his head at you clowns. Embarrassing.

Lower cost where? Lies lies lies..vote this clown out!

You’re a fucking liar and everyone knows it. The only ones supporting you are fellow grifters or future convicts.

There is no way this isn’t satire? Do you believe the bologna that you spew?!?!

Sadly, no.

Gawd damn you post some stupid shit….

Mark Alford! Dumb as a stump and less usefull!

Cut defense, so wackos don’t waste our tax money bombing some faraway place.

Looks like you are following Satan.

Bruh, read the room. It would be in your best interests to just quit posting on here. You get called out for your bullshit every time you do.

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Uh, in case you were wondering, land doesn’t vote

Today, from Rick Brattin (r):

Rick Brattin for Congress
[April 17, 2026]

This is why it’s important to elect the right Republican to represent you! Every other person in this CD-5 race is a giant question mark ❓ ❓ where they will be on ANY issue.
I have championed ending illegal immigration in Missouri and you can take it to the bank that I will support our President to deport every illegal immigrant in the USA, not reward them!!!
[….]

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Hi. Land doesn’t vote. Hope this helps.

he’s not too bright

Its interesting that the pockets of actual PEOPLE (not land) are blue….almost like the majority of America didn’t vote for that.

Trees and cows don’t vote.

Interesting, there are THREE pocket of blue and yet republicans are demanding to take away one of only two democratic house seats
The presidential election split 59% republican, 40% democrat, and 1% other. Yet republicans have gerrymandered districts to claim 7 out of 8 seats.
I hope all three of these gerrymandered seats go blue. Not because I support the Democrats necessarily, but because these out of control republicans should be taught a lesson about democracy.

Be honest instead of showing the land mass show the population

Land doesn’t vote.

I like Congress people who know geography and population density.

Heh. We see what you did there.

There’s this thing called population density. I thought we learned about this as children, but maybe you should look it up.

Land doesn’t vote. The blue areas are the highest populated areas in the country. Most of this red is sparsely populated.

I didn’t realize land voted.

Do we think land rather than people vote?

Land doesn’t vote

The President’s stand on illegal immigration during his campaign was deport the “worst of the worst”, the criminals. That is not what you are advocating here and not what the President has done. The tide has turned on the popularity of the immigration issue due to the lack of due process and violence used by ICE. You should probably rethink your cold-hearted stance on it.

Every day I read a story about someone who has been detained who shouldn’t have been. Today it was an engineer from South America who was working in Portland and was legal. His car window was smashed in, he was dragged onto the street, shipped to the east coast and put in detention. He was released into the street days later with no phone and no way to get back. Until this BS stops, people are going to protest against ICE. The system needs to be fixed because it is broken. Brutalizing a vulnerable community is NOT a solution.

Good. Lord. The dullness is staggering. Have you ever considered putting a population density map on top of that one? Land doesn’t vote. Nor do cattle n corn.
We love seeing our leading politicians be either so stupid or ignorant that they cant grasp that concept. They just look at a map with lots of pretty red squares and go “LOOK. MURICA ALL RED WE’RE ACTUALLY OPPRESSED”. Lordy lord…

Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

Oh look another one who doesn’t understand geography and population density

Land doesn’t vote idiots, people do. You won by 1.4%

You seriously think backing a lunatic will get you elected

I genuinely do not like you, buddy

Land don’t vote, peachfuzz. Shave your dome.

Nothing quite like putting a fake political map up to try to convince people that red rules all! Land doesn’t vote.

The east is red, apparently.

What were they thinking?

The weren’t.

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

It didn’t go well.

Shipwreck ‪@shipwreck75.bsky.social‬

VP JD Vance says the Iranian regime refused to reach a deal during negotiations in Pakistan.

At the end of the press conference, the Vice President was asked what this means and if we are going back to war, he did not respond. Vice president’s press conference lasted under 4 min.

So killing their spiritual leader, bombing an elementary school, threatening to wipe out their civilization, referring to it as a Christian holy war, and sending Mr. Personality Vance to negotiate didn’t get things resolved?

Judd Legum ‪@juddlegum.bsky.social‬

There is absolutely no justification for calling Vance anti-interventionalist. He supports the war in Iran. (And he supported all of Trump’s other foreign interventions.) As the chief negotiator, he has decided the best course is for the war in Iran to continue.

probably the most common folk wisdom I knew growing up was “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. clearly history’s most special boy donald j trump never heard about that one.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

On an impactful anniversary, no less:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 9, 2026]

This Tax Season, Americans Are Keeping More of What They Earn — Thanks to House Republicans’ + President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts 💰
💡 REMINDER: Every single Democrat voted against this legislation.
[….]

Some of the biting:

Do you agree with Trump that keep our military strong we can’t afford to pay for Medicare, Medicaid, and childcare? In the meantime, how much was your tax cut compared to a family of four with an income of $70,000.

The no taxes on overtime is bullshit. I worked almost $28k in overtime last year and it was a deduction of a percentage of my overtime, which after the time and a half and double time came out to be an $8k deduction which my accountant said might have changed my tax return by $1600, 20% of $8k. But I fell in the higher tax bracket so my return was about $2k less than last year. I’ve worked 7-12’s and paid over $3,000 in taxes in one week. So it’s bullshit rhetoric to get common people on the hook to excuse billions in tax cuts for the richest Americans at the expense of society’s most vulnerable people.

To clarify: 1. Re: No tax on overtime, the taxpayer can only deduct (exclude) the overtime premium, (i.e. the extra 1/2 for time and 1/2 from income) and pays the full income tax on the rest of the hourly pay. For example $6,000 of overtime would result in deduction of $2,000 from income. Social Security and Medicare taxes would apply to the full amount of the overtime pay. The states for the most part have not excluded the overtime premium so all of it would be taxed by the states.
2. Re: No tax on Social Security for seniors, there is no exclusion of tax on Social Security. There is a larger standard deduction for seniors which may eliminate the tax for some taxpayers, but would not eliminate tax on Social Security if the taxpayer has a certain amount of income.

I beg to differ. For the first time since I started working at 15 as well as being married filing joint for the last 24 years we OWED both fed & state this year.

Interesting because I am on Social Security and when I did my taxes, our refund was lower and we took the standard deduction.

How popular do you think the automatic enlistment is going to be with your constituents Congressman Mark Alford ?

Paid more than ever this year

Not the middle class asswipe were paying for the billionaires.

If it’s a meme. It’s gotta be true.

How’s those prices at the gas pumps and grocery stores? How about your health care costs? Your piddly little tax refunds don’t even begin to cover the increase in costs purported by the Republicans and their convicted felon fraudster.

If you grifters want to generate revenue for the state, make a new tax code so the wealthy pay the same (or higher) percentage in taxes than the poor and middle class.

Meanwhile Americans can’t afford health insurance, groceries or utilities thanks to Mark and tacos illegal tariffs.

So Alford, what do you think trump and hegseth threatening the Pope?

I got back $11.00

How about being honest? The no tax on overtime is misleading. On the time and a half only the half part is no tax. No tax on tips is only up to $25,000. The bracket with the biggest returns is the highest bracket. Those in middle class and lower have to pay more taxes so the higher bracket can reap the reward. I can’t wait to see who runs against you and if you’ll debate.

If that’s the case why are so many of my clients complaining they aren’t getting any more back than usual?

Do you support impeachment removal and prosecutions for war crimes by Trump and Hegseth? Tuesday Trump threatened the entire world with a nuclear strike on Iran ” Wipeout their civilization “. Are You for war crimes? I’m not and I don’t know any Missourians who support another forever war.Btw Trump and his family are enriching themselves from this war that COSTS US TAXPAYERS A BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY! are you for that too? Because you should RESIGN TODAY if you can’t stop supporting Trump.

Where’s my DOGE & Tariff refund $$$ Mr. Alford?? !

It’s going into the gas tank bud.

Puppet 🖕

Never mind the $2000 tariff tax on everyone and $1 per gallon increase in gas and good luck if you lost your health insurance.

Didn’t help me at all

🚨INFLATION SURGES: U.S. inflation surged to 3.3% in March as the Iran war’s energy shock rippled through the economy, with prices jumping 0.9% — the biggest monthly spike since June 2022. Energy inflation rose +10.9% (largest since 2005), while gasoline prices jumped 21.2% in March — the biggest increase since records began in 1967. Gas is now up nearly 40% since late February.

Tariffs season and
Rising costs of fuel
SEASON

If your GREAT LEADER had not imposed tariffs and started a war Americans might actually be happy with these tax cuts. As it is they are getting further behind because rising prices are eating up anything that was gained.

Middle class, middle-aged singles got hit harder than ever. Only telling half the truth makes a statement a full lie.

Tax cuts got eaten up the last time I filled up my tank.

My refund was less, so there’s that…

So after April 15th what do you have for the American people?

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared
bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy.
That’s what Trump Derangement
Syndrome actually looks like.

Interesting how each of you posts a different percentage. Perhaps you could get together and agree on which number you’re going to go with so your lies are consistent.

Lick those boots!

Retired and paid more this year than ever before. I dont want to hear your garbage.

Why the fuck is gas $3.59, Mark?!

You are the village idiot! Everyone is laughing at you.

Nothing but a Trump repeater

No!!! you voted for tax cuts for the billionaires!!
And you voted for gutting healthcare from the poorest people in America so Trump could fund his Nazi ice agents to terrorize Americans.
The National archives are calling Mark!!!
They have the receipts

Lying POS. Like people in the 4th district are so stupid they won’t realize how horrible you are making their lives

No refund, I owe. Bunch of incompetent tv personalities in the Cabinet abusing their positions on the taxpayers dollar. Congress is a sad joke, 1.3% – 2% of enacted legislation to date. Kegsbreath Secretary of War Crimes stated the draft will start again in December. So much for the “peace president” and putting America First!

Not my working family . I hate that you of all people are trying to preach to me. I am so done with the Republican party. I think you are disgraceful and will soon find yourself in hell where you belong.

Why do you keep embarrassing yourself????
I made the same income, same deductions…and, OWED MORE!!!!
You lying sack of turds!!!
And, what’s your SOURCE on this??? You just put some numbers up there with an arrow pointing upward! WTF???
You’re just pulling shit out of your little ass!

Paid more! What other gaslighting do you have Congressman Mark Alford?

My refund went down. Someone who earns more than me must be pulling that average up. I guess I just understand how averages work better than the fools who keep voting for you.
