Ether Ann Wagner (r) thinks we’re all that stupid or she is. Neither option is a good thing.

Last night:

Ann Wagner @AnnLWagner
I’m a proud mother & grandmother who will never waver in my efforts to protect life – especially now as Democrats increase efforts to champion abortion even after a baby is born. Proud to be endorsed by the
@nrlc
!
7:35 PM · Sep 7, 2022

Some of the responses:

Murder? Are you fucking kidding?

Infanticide is illegal and the fact that you’d push such an untrue statement says a lot about you. Do better.

Sincerely,
A mother and grandmother

Yeah. That’s called murder. Nobody is falling for that anymore.

Wow abortion after birth — that’s a new one!! You know Ann, what a woman does with her life & body is NONE of your business. Do better!

Last I checked, lying is still a sin.

Delete this tweet & stop spreading disinformation. Once a child is born, if someone takes its life, that’s murder & we have laws for that. NO ONE is advocating for something that can’t happen.

Abortion after the baby is born”? You’re such a sick lying, disgusting person. Just grotesque beyond belief.

The sin of deception is a pervasive evil among today’s GOP.

Your false allegations deceive people – and you know it… bearing false witness against your constituents.

“Whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much” (Luke 16:10). Voters beware.

What exactly is abortion after the baby is born?

Idk. She spouts this BS all the time.

She’s an asshole

It amazes me that people will actually consider voting for such stupid candidates.

You are such a liar, Ann Wagner

How do you do an “abortion after birth”. Unless it’s a D&C because of placenta that didn’t expel completely, but there isn’t a baby any longer. Explain please.

Ann, can you explain how your insane statement that Democrats *champion abortion AFTER a baby is born*? I’m calling BS and more lies from @AnnLWagner.

Ann Wagner (@AnnLWagner) is out of touch with actual Missourians.

Literally no Democrats in Missouri have EVER discussed the desire to make infanticide legal. Not. One.

Ann Wagner spews disinformation for political gain. She can not be trusted. [….]

So, that’s a disgusting lie, Ann.

Would you please describe the procedure of abortion “after a baby is born”?

Lmao what are they teaching you out in Ballwin? Do you ever actually think before you type or are you just spitballing the wildest stuff off the cuff?

“Abortion after birth” ? Is that what Republicans are calling school shootings now ? [….]

Gee Ann, maybe tweeting is not your thing. Come to think of it you have nothing to offer.

do you lie to jesus with that mouth?

This is a lie. Shame on you.

Ann Wagner is not pro life.

Pro life would include healthcare insurance for all, school lunches for hungry kids, mercy for migrants fleeing literal death, fighting poverty, funding kids education, and funding maternal healthcare.

Wagner is against all of that.

What is post birth abortion?

I can’t believe someone would say something so gross and obviously false, thinking it’s a winning position. Donors to that campaign might be having some serious regrets.

Probably not.

You lying extremist.

Wow! Your statement is so stupid.

That isn’t a thing Ann. Anyone that thinks that is happening should seek some help, maybe additional education from health professionals.

Really spells out that *anyone* can run for office

Is this a great country, or what?

Jesus hates liars Ann.

Jesus this woman…. Can she just go away now. It’s been such a long haul with her.

Now, Ann, this is a lie from the pits of hell where they are holding your place. There is no Democrat that supports abortion after birth. That’s murder. We support a woman’s right to make her medical care decisions with her doctor. Stahp!

You’re insufferable.

WTF is an abortion after the baby is born?

We get why you’ve never held a public town hall during your entire career as a Congresswoman.
Too busy tweeting inane garbage.

Either you’re a blatant liar and peddler of misinformation, you’re completely incapable of distinguishing fact from fiction, or just [batshit] crazy religious extremist- no matter the reason you tweeted this demented garbage you have zero business running anything anywhere ever.

You clearly don’t know the definition of abortion. Just wondering how familiar you are with female anatomy? Guessing not very.

ohh we’re saying this crazy shit outloud now i see

Lying again. If Democrats are so awful why do you have to make things up. Tell the truth Miss Bible verse, if you are able to.
Ann Wagner lies, her voting record does not.
MO-2 deserves better.

Such an ugly lie should be beneath you, the fact that it isn’t speaks volumes about your character

You’re an idiot Ann and you’re calling your followers idiots too.

That’s not a thing. There is no post birth abortion you loony toon.

What a maroon…

That really isn’t a thing – post birth abortion. You know that, right? But maybe this is your desperate way of trying to get attention and leftover worship from Trump’s base? Or maybe you just are really willfully ignorant?

Who is paying for what, Eric? Do tell.

This evening:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt

The Heiress Valentine is a radical liberal.

She wants to buy a US Senate seat.

Not happening. Let’s go! [….]
7:48 PM · Sep 7, 2022

Evidently, we never get out of junior high school. Is someone living rent free inside your head?

Trudy Busch Valentine (D) [2022 file photo]

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

It certainly is terrible that anyone would buy a US Senate seat.
Would you tell us how much money Rex Sinquefield has given you directly and to the pacs that support your campaign?

There is that. Political hacks participate in unethical political hackery (June 7, 2022)

So…. Corporate Executives, Insurance companies & Real Estate companies are buying your seat? [….]
And they spent more attacking other Republicans, than defending you???
[….]

Please elaborate. If she’s “buying” it by being her biggest funder. Who is “buying” for you?

A woman with the means to fund the majority of her campaign is not asking constituents that are trying to pay their bills, to give her money. [….]
You think poor people owe you something?

Wait. Is she an old money oligarch or a radical liberal? I don’t think you even care bc this is just more disingenuous blather. The only thing you seem serious about is ignoring child abuse.

Eric backs traitorous trump. That’s all you need to know.

You’re having Missouri taxpayers buy yours.

Well, yes:

A simple request (December 9, 2021)

Yep, that was definitely a colossal waste of time and money.

The more you run your mouth and talk down to people, the more uplifting it becomes for your opponent. You are just a jealous man without a platform. You are what isn’t happening @Eric_Schmitt.

King Rex Sinquefield

You lie and grift for living off of the backs of hard working people.
The typical gop politician today.

That’s what you’re doing with dark money

Eric Schmitt is an extremist who want to make our medical decisions. Medical decisions should be made with a doctor not a Senator.

Vote for Trudy Busch Valentine!

For those of us concerned about the appalling amount of $$$ swirling around politics it’s aggravating that you’re running as this horrible divisive tool. No reasonable voter wants that. You could win just posting pics of your family & pork steaks. But instead, cruelty. No thanks.

I’d rather she buy it than you.

I found it very radical when you brought that nonsense lawsuit against my kids’ school. You want to demagogue your way into the Senate. I agreed with Trump that you were a worse option than Greitens for the nomination.

Gonna chainsaw something in your next ad?

In a blue gingham shirt?

She talks about healthcare for women and working for Missouri. You talk about dismantling the government and being on a holy quest. Also you signed in the trigger ban that stripped women of their rights after Roe was overturned. Who is the radical one again?

Private school boy Eric who lives in an $800,000 home is funded by Rex & hangs with a grifter [….]

Eric you are an absolutely horrible AG! I sincerely hope you lose! GFY

Remember this from June?:

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Late today:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
On this Labor Day, thanks to the working men and women who built this country – and who deserve better than the condescension and dismissive arrogance this Administration shows them every day
6:12 PM · Sep 5, 2022

6:12 p.m. – you think he almost forgot?

Seriously, champion of the working person?

Some of the responses to Josh Hawley (r):

Do you support unions? Do you oppose “right to work” for less?
Do you never cross picket line?
Do you support OSHA, a raise in the minimum wage, the NLRB?
Provide evidence of your support for working people.

Heehaw Hawley went to a private Jesuit high school then Stanford and Yale Law but he wants you all to think he’s a humble working guy.

If and when you do actual labor in your life, I’d love to hear about it. And running out of the senate chamber in fear is not labor, it’s just your cowardice showing.

Thank your banker father and the privilege of all your private school experiences and educational tourism.

So, basically this tweet has nothing to do with hard working women like me, one of your constituents( not by choice) but a dig at the man who has had some of the highest jobs numbers and done more for the the working class than you ever will. #HawleyIsNoMO

Once again, @HawleyMO is a faux populist who masquerades as a faux Teddy Roosevelt populist. He will never go into the Arena and fight for the working people of Missouri. He has distain for them. Boycott @HawleyMO

You must be a real joy at birthday parties.

Democratic s express strong support for the labor movement. The party platform notes that “when workers are strong, America is strong.

GOP sees unions as a threat to “freedom in the workplace” & urges elected officials to pass laws which limit collective bargaining rights.

You tried to overturn an election for a self-proclaimed “billionaire” who didn’t pay the working men and women who built his businesses.
Carpenters, waiters, waitresses, bartenders, construction workers, plumbers, piano tuners, painters…
He stiffed them all.
But ok, fist pumper.

Thanks to the unions for 5-day weeks, paid vacation & better wages. Unfortunately, Josh & his party have done everything they can to undermine unions.

If Josh had his way, there would be no minimum wage, no right to collective bargaining & nothing but at-will employment.

Yet you voted against everything that could possibly help the American worker. We see you.

This is some hyper inflationary “irony”with a gob of condescension…about as precious as it gets. Bravo.

Democrats support workers.

Republicans stoke cultural resentment.

I have seen no condescension or arrogance from the current administration. I have only seen them continue to make change that will better Americans’ lives, and they have done so in a pressure cooker created by you and other MAGA extremists who push lies and hate constantly.

So, really just another grievance?

So glad you’re pro-union now!

It’s not that hard to be a decent person or at least not be a jerk, but yet you seem to really struggle.

We will never run out of Josh Hawley jokes.


.

Insurrectionist says what?

Josh Hawley is anti-union.

But please go on.

You mean how they encourage unions so that workers have the power to bargain?

The only condescension here is from the Yale elitist pretending to care about the working men and women of Mo, some of whom believe your drivel. However, less of them from 2018 believe, or trust you now.

Couldn’t even do a tweet about Labor Day without making it a political statement huh?
How’s this working out for you Joshy?

Malarkey! The GOP sees working men and women as wage slaves and oppose Unions, minimum wage increases, and laws that protect workers.

Once a fascist, always a fascist.

“Every Republican accusation is a confession.” You can count on it like you can count on gravity.

Um, that sounded very condescending and dismissive.

Yes, it is.

Solidarity Forever!

When you don’t vote you get what management votes for.

Solidarity Forever

When the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall run,
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
But the union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
For the union makes us strong.

Last night:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Joe Biden’s hate-filled and menacing rhetoric tonight was disgraceful. His behavior is increasingly erratic. And his threats against half the country – his fellow citizens – are dangerous
[….]

What a dick.

Jason Kander @JasonKander
It’s the stuck pig that squeals.
[….]
11:10 PM · Sep 1, 2022

A few more of the responses to Josh Hawley (r):

It’s not like he raised a fist in solidarity with people about to storm the Capitol to stop certification of the 2020 election. Oh…that’s legitimate political discourse.

Problem is not the people calling out those who back violently overthrowing the republic & installing a christofascist authoritarian regime, it is those who back violently overthrowing the republic & installing a christofascist authoritarian regime [….]

[….] If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

You’re offended bc Biden condemned political violence and defended democracy?

Remember that time you exhorted a violent mob to attack the US Capitol? And then were too big a coward to join them and face the consequences?

You’re going to jail and you know it, li’l traitor.

What about championing insurrectionists, Josh? Is that dangerous?

You cheered on insurrectionists and then ran away like a coward

I knew you’d pretend that a defense of patriotism against your seditious, dishonest attacks on our democracy was the problem, not your fascism.

#ResignHawley

You aren’t half the country, traitor.

Hate-filled?
“…tonight I’m asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy regardless of your ideology. We’re all called, by duty and conscience, to confront extremists who will put their own pursuit of power above all else.”

Did it scare you, Joshy-winks? Did you wanna run away? [….]

You know what’s a disgrace – you and the hypocrites aligned with a traitor, josh

I prefer democracy to authoritarianism, decency to fascism, a desire to serve all people over need to serve a small group of special interests. Josh has none of these qualities or desires. #bidenspeech

The GOP is not half the country. Biden calling out fascism is not only appropriate but it’s over due. The majority of Americans are sick and tired of all your hateful rhetoric.

Run along now
[….]

Thanks, Senator Fisting

Somebody went there.

We see it very differently. I thought he just told the truth.

A minority of republicans is not half the country, Josh. It is telling, however, that his condemnation of fascism and violence has you so upset. Very telling.

That speech was heartfelt, passionate and necessary.

History will remember on which side you stood

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Refusing to let a minority destroy our democracy by promising riots if they have to accept valid elections and legal consequences is not threatening half the country.

You’re lying and projecting.

#ResignHawley

Joe Biden called out fascists tonight. If you think that’s “menacing,” what does that say about you?
And the MAGA fascists are about 12 % of the country, Josh. They’re the ones threatening us. And we’re done with them.

He’s only against fascists. Know any? Oh, hey, it’s you.
[….]

Read slowly…
“…tonight I’m asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy regardless of your ideology. We’re all called, by duty and conscience, to confront extremists who will put their own pursuit of power above all else.”

“If you’re complaining about a speech condemning fascism, it might be time for a long look in the mirror.”

By the way, are you ‘running out’ of excuses for Trump?
[….]

I see you spreading love and peace…nope

You could be talking about yourself and SO many of your colleagues. The mirrors are being held up to you all. And none of you like it. Almost as if, when criticised, you all turn into, I dunno, flakes of snow?

Not at all, Josh. It’s your behavior that’s been consistently disgraceful

Hypocrite much?

I am so proud of Pres. Biden. He called you and your people what you are. Fascists.

No threats. He just called MAGA out for what it is.
And now your feelings are hurt.
[….]

The confederacy wasn’t a big fan of Lincoln either.

You’re upset, Josh. Have you tried running away?

Today, from lame duck Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
The 210 million Americans who do not have student loans should not have to pay for those who do.

It is inherently unfair and will be challenged in court.
[….]
9:10 AM · Aug 31, 2022

That was so funny we all forgot to laugh.

Some of the responses:

I’m so excited to see the end of your political career.

You know what makes you #heartlesshartzler is when you tweet crap like this. How many Missouri small businesses could have benefited from the $450,000+ you took in PPP loans?!? You’re a multimillionaire, you didn’t need the $$$, you took it, checks notes, “because you could”!

just a reminder that Vicky Hartzler has received millions in government handouts she has not had to repay to help support her supposedly businesses.

I didn’t get any benefit for the Trump Tax Cut. You grifted over $450,000 on a PPP loan, so when are you paying it back? Oh yeah, it was FORGIVEN.
[….]

Replace “student loans” with “PPP loans” and you wouldn’t send that tweet.

I don’t have a farm but, evidently, I had to pay for yours.

The 330 million Americans who do not have a farm should not have to pay for those who do.

It is inherently unfair and will be challenged in court.

That’s what you sound like.

You should pay back the government loan you received. That sounds fair to me.

I’m not a farmer, why should I pay for crop subsidies? I don’t have kids in schools, why should I pay school taxes?
I didn’t file for PPP loan forgiveness for almost non-existence companies, why should I pay to forgive those loans?
Why are you a hater and a liar?

I’m not a member of Congress who got a free PPP loan that they didn’t have to pay back, and I should not have to pay for the ones that did.

What about the members of Congress who received PPP loans and didn’t pay them back? Can you talk about the fairness of that for a moment, as you appear to have first-hand knowledge of it.

Blah blah blah.

Hmmmm…. wall street bailouts? Tax breaks for the top 1%? PPP loans? Airline bailouts? The list goes on and on. Crazy how when funds go to help everyday people instead of “trickling down”, it’s a big problem.

You voted for Trump’s 2017 tax giveaway to the 1%.

You have no talking room about making people pay for others’ financial responsibilities.

Vicki Hartzler (R-MO) $451,200

Almost ALL of us are not billionaires. So why should we pay for their tax cuts? Talk about “inherently unfair”.

What a hypocrite

Why is it that the professional victims of the Republican Party get to bail out on their loans, bail out their businesses and their friends (that sweet campaign money)- but help actual struggling citizens and “oh woe is us”.

Explain you PPP of $451,200.

I’d rather my tax money went to help people than subsidize corporations.
And, your talking point is getting stale already. [….]

Oh, lord, lady, I pay for a lot of things through the government that I will never receive any benefits from. I don’t have a business that got PPP loans that were forgiven either.

Glad I’m not your neighbor. Are you a “christian” too? It’s not “unfair”. It’s not “illegal”. You are showing what kind of a representative you really are. For the rich!

You might get a hot dish:

So did you have a PPP loan that was forgiven? A whole lot of your Republican colleagues did. Miss #Hypocrite, you should sit down now.

The middle class shouldn’t have to pay for billionaire’s tax cuts and millionaire politician’s PPP loans.
#GOP hate people that work for a living.

The bottom 95% shouldn’t have to absorb the cost of the tax cuts for the top 5% but you were all over that like flies on shit.

Quote newsmax, and immediately know it’s bullshit. You are so bad at this.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

This morning:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
I’m proud to have led the country in the fight against Covid tyranny at all levels of government — fighting for parents, kids, small business owners and workers.

The Heiress Valentine is just another liberal Lockdown Queen.
9:44 AM · Aug 30, 2022

Eric Schmitt (r) left a group off his list:

Some of the reponses to Eric Schmitt (r):

I remember that time well.
My friends and neighbors were making small but important personal sacrifices for each other’s welfare.
And you were screaming “you can’t make me!”
I don’t vote for toddlers.

You have nothing to be proud of, you fought against parents, kids, & common sense. “Shame” that is the word for what you are feeling, it is the opposite of pride.

You have never lived under nor suffered real tyranny, though you try to invoke it over others. #JustMoreBullSchmitt

So explain to us how your logic works here Eric, because it doesn’t track in the real world where the rest of us are. @buschvalentine was not in office at the time of TFG’s lockdowns, but you were. You sued public schools while purposely omitting private schools. Why is that?

We remember.

You’re part of the reason why one million Americans have died from COVID, when we could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

My friend was one of those you helped kill. Go to hell.

COVID tyranny is funny way of saying “public health.”

I will support @buschvalentine all day and every day.

So many propaganda buzzwords in here!

You missed “woke” and “cancel culture,” though.

If you hit all six in one tweet, you earn a free swastika tattoo.

Eric Schmitt: making frivolous lawsuits great again

Does your disinformation campaign ever get old for you? It does for us [….]

You sued elementary schools to prevent kids from wearing masks, even as students were either dying from COVID, or getting long-covid symptoms. Not gonna elect a guy who sues kindergartners

Do… Do you mean public health?

Unlike you, she may actually care about the health of Missourians.

Yet you didn’t sue your children’s private school.

Do you know who the winner in the fight against “Covid tyranny” is? Death. And crippling illness. And grief. And loss. You are a ghoul.

7th highest Covid deaths per capita in the country, and that is for numbers actually reported. Some would argue your fight against public health was a failure. Not to mention the divisive politicization of a health emergency.

Lockdown Queen? What the f are you even talking about? You are the Wasteful Losing Lawsuit King

Do you know how many people I know that have died because of Covid-19? Too freaking many! I blame you and the other MAGA Republican fascists for those deaths! Are you going to waste Missouri taxpayer money to sue me for saying the truth?

So you wish more people had died from COVID19? Almost 22,000 Missourians dead wasn’t enough for you?

Roy Blunt (r) [August 2022 file photo].

A few days ago:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
The Biden administration’s student loan plan is a one-two punch for hardworking Americans. It’s a handout for high-income college & advanced degree graduates paid for by taxpayers who had no part in taking out the loans.
1:24 PM · Aug 24, 2022

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
And, it will drive inflation up even further when families are already struggling w/ skyrocketing costs. The plan will also increase the cost of higher education, making it harder to pursue a degree.
1:24 PM · Aug 24, 2022

Some of the responses:

You didn’t complain when the very wealthy & corporations got a big tax cut under TFG or when Wall Street got bailed out. It’s not a student’s entire debt but also encourages those who benefit to go into public service ex. Help the teacher shortage!
Go cry somewhere else.

Roy, I’m an old woman who’s paid taxes for well over half a century. In recent years that money has subsidized Red states, farmers, PPP loans, a failed wall on the southern border, and paid your salary. I’m delighted with some going to student loan forgiveness.

Wrong and you know it, it’s lies.

It’s always interesting to me how republicans are very quick to criticize & blame but excruciatingly slow /inept/incapable at actually coming up with sensible viable plans to help the American people.
Unless there’s $$$ I it for you you could give a rats ass.

Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times. But OK Roy, you just keep being you.

This is a lie and you know it – cancelling debt means loans are not repaid. It does not change taxpayer payments. Your “handout”tax cuts for the rich and corporations cost more ($2.3 TRILLION vs $298 billion). Show me some truth!

I don’t know what universe you are in when those whose incomes are less than $125K are considered wealthy. Of course forgiving PPP ‘loans’ is totally cool. Then giving $2 trillion in tax breaks to the truly wealthy. Corporate bailouts? Sure. We can surely forgive student loans.

Pell Grant recipients and those earning under $125,000. a year are the only ones that will qualify for the program. If you had funded the Pell Grant program years ago, this program would not be necessary. Republicans don’t like to help the average Americans. Just the rich ones.

Most of the benefit will go to people earning under $75k/year.

You could retire with some dignity, you know. You don’t _have_ to exit the stage with dishonest attempts to make the lives of everyday Americans worse.

Heh. We talkin’ about the same Roy Blunt (r)?

You were totally against PPP loan forgiveness, right?

So misleading. Wish you had the courage to be honest with your constituents now that you aren’t running again. Surely, honesty isn’t going to cost you that high-powered lobbying job waiting for you in DC.

Well, actually…

You’re describing when you gave the richest people in the country massive tax cuts and the poorest got service cuts to balance it.

Do you not hear yourself talking anymore?

Go away Roy, you gave billions to you and your rich friends. I can’t wait until you are as irrelevant as John Danforth! #Missouri #GOPTaxScam #GOPHypocrisy

That one left a mark.

High income people who go to college don’t take out loans.

Roy: We all know if this were really and handout to those with high incomes you’d be claiming it was your idea.

And how many tax cuts for billionaires and corporations that pay zero taxes have you voted for over the years? Go away to your high paying lobbying jobs. You don’t care about working people.

I’m a teacher. In Missouri. I’m not “high income”

You’re just angry it’s not more tax cuts for billionaires which is the only thing you ever vote for

Roy what did you call the tax cut ghat you voted for and signed by Trump giving corporations and millionaires like yourself a tax cut without paying for it.

The tax cut of the last administration mainly benefitted the wealthiest. You supported that and that was monumentally unfair. As is your plans to dismantle social security. Too oft it seems your party ONLY caters to the rich and powerful and undercuts the poor and needy.

“The government is only allowed to forgive the debts of rich people. Everyone knows this. The GOP is dedicated to ensuring governmental relief only goes to people that don’t need it, and the plebes can go die in a ditch where they belong!”

I’m surprised you took the time to remove your lips from trump’s a$$ to comment on this subject.

That’s a lie, and you know it, but you don’t care do you?

He never has.

Yet trump gave a massive and permanent tax cut to corporations and the super rich. Hypocrite much?

“Pay off your own debt!” says a generation of pundits that went to school when classes were $100 and the minimum wage could finance a mortgage on a 2-bedroom home.

For the love of Pete, who the hell do you think took out the loans trying to get better paying jobs, if not taxpayers, Roy?

You really must think people are very dumb.

He does.
