Last night, from Josh Hawley (r), after Nevada:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The old party is dead. Time to bury it. Build something new
8:39 PM · Nov 12, 2022

Chutzpah. Definitely irony challenged.

Some of the responses:

Maga baby

Well, start by showing yourself out. Those losing look a lot like you.

Run along then [….]

Change the rules so we win lmao it’s like talking to a child

Starting with throwing you out. Insurrectionists have gone out of style. Don’t try to remake yourself now. We know who you are.

You helped kill it tough guy

I’m sure you’ll get to the bottom of it, little buddy.[….]

Nah keep up what you’re doing, it’s working amazing sweetie

Tweet through it little buddy [….]

You helped destroy it, Josh.
In fact – you encouraged others to tear it down.
Don’t think we have forgotten.
You should be among the first to leave, fist pumper. [….]

Thank you for your resignation.

So much courage coming from Josh Hawley….[….]

I’d ask if you were running but we all know how accustomed you are to that. [….]

We see what you did there.

Run along, Josh. The grownups are busy.

I guess attacking trans kids, LGBTQ people, stripping rights away from women and supporting an insurrection didn’t work out so well.

Hey, champ, maybe sit this one out

Funny watching the guy who raised his fist in solidarity with the insurrectionists act as if he’s not a literal cause of the GOP’s disastrous midterm performance.

An ounce of introspection here might help, Josh.

Look at that spineless, scared little fascist

Putting aside the fact that you live in Virginia not Missouri, you are next in 2024. We won’t forget your fist in the air.

How many reichs does this make by your count?

Ooh, subtle.

Really tweeting through it huh?

They actually believe they didn’t MAGA hard enough.

Just do another coup, bro!!

“Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt….”

Amazing that the party of Putin didn’t gain more traction.

Gee, I wonder what killed it, Senator. [….]

[raises fist in air] you big mad?

Josh? Honey, we have receipts.

If you feel the same way in the morning, maybe attack the Capitol with some buddies again.

Election Denier says what?

Yeah but its your dumbass side that’s losing all these races, jackass

These parody accounts are getting better and better.

Cry harder. We won’t forget what side you were on. [….]

Once again, Josh Hawley is trying to flee the dumpster fire he helped ignite.

Sounds like you are trying to *run* away from the monster you created. [….]

Too late, Hawley.

You tethered yourself to anarchists and extreme government control of women, the media and the middle class.

It’s ALL yours, little buddy.

Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Washington Republicanism lost big Tuesday night. When your “agenda” is cave to Big Pharma on insulin, cave to Schumer on gun control & Green New Deal (“infrastructure”), and tease changes to Social Security and Medicare, you lose
9:53 AM · Nov 10, 2022

Some of the responses:

Embarrassing for you

Also, your leader is a flaming loser.

Congratulations. [….]

Look at you running away again, pretending YOURE NOT a Washington GOP. With friends like you & Trump, who needs enemies. You know what voters turned from? Insurrectionists & those that cheered them on then legged it when they attacked, that’s what. [….]

There’s that.

MAGA lost on Tuesday, and everybody knows it . . . [….]

I don’t know, what are YOU going to do Josh? Quit acting like you’re not a part of this crazy train ya jerk off.

Actually GOP “lost” because they are sick and tired of DJT. Roe veWade. No specific agenda on solving problems. They just bash people.

You could always run away from it.

We see what you did there.

You forgot taking away women’s rights. Or is just smarter NOT to mention that, TreasonWeasel?
And kowtowing to Trump. Or have you not been watching Bobo’s election returns?

fascism, election deniers and trump lost big on tuesday. if though you don’t live in MO, you’re lucky our backward state is willing to support fascists like yourself.

What really lost big was election denial. Your team of anti-democracy seditious conspirators took a bath.

Maybe you should work for America for once instead against our democracy, people, values, and allies.

#ResignHawley

You voted to kill the insulin cap. That’s mean. Republicans deserved to lose.

Are you saying you support capping insulin prices, cuz you didn’t vote for it

Are you stupid? Traitors, liars, seditionists, democracy killers, misogynists and racists DON’T WIN.

Maybe Republicans shouldn’t run from the problems they help create. [….]

Maybe when Republicans stop taking away woman’s right to make their own healthcare decisions and stop force pregnancies, Republicans might have a chance. When Republicans stop the lying about “open borders”, stop lying about stolen elections, stop the violence, hate & racism.

Washington Republicanism?
I thought you represented ( checks notes) folks in Missouri.
Oh, that’s right you actually live in Virginia don’t you…..

There’s that.

Most Americans want help with prescription drugs. If we do tax breaks for billionaires&industry, we can afford insulin to be free.
Most want common sense gun laws.
Ppl want to be represented by a neighbor.
No one wants to sacrifice Social Security.

Or, more accurately, if you acquiesce and become servile and profess fealty to a facsists would be autocratic authoritarian that tried to destroy Madisonian Democracy in the US on Jan 6th, you find out Americans like democracy and you lose.

Also, y’all fucked up with Dobbs. [….]

Actually, Josh, this party belongs to you and Trump now. And it was you and Trump that the voters told to go to hell.

Own it, bro.

Pretty funny watching Josh trying to separate himself from this debacle.

“Washington Republicanism?” Nice try at finding a spin. Americans are tired of the MAGAt/GQP/Talibangelical wing of the party turning the country upside down with all their temper tantrums, creating problems that aren’t there and all the phoney symbolism. Bibles are props to you.

Democrats made insulin cheaper, you hack.

Bro, say it loud, say it proud:

it’s your obsession with telling women what to do with their reproductive rights.

So do you want your constituents to continue to pay huge markups on insulin?

You do nothing for Missouri (the state you don’t live in and seldom visit) but carp on the sidelines. And Schmitt will be more of the same.

When you attack our elections and attack the capital and offer nothing but hate and bigotry and anger, you lose!

Republicanism lost, but Americans won. So there’s that.

You’re a God damn idiot. You lost bro everything you stand for lost last night. Do you think we forgot you led the insurrection and then ran from it? You’re a disgrace! The only thing Americans have left to do is get rid of self serving scum like you from Congress.

Look at the GOP suddenly having post nut clarity.

Y’all shit the bed for 6 years, voted no on every single issue that would have helped so don’t pretend to care about the working class now

This is a horrible tweet
Not only is it dishonest
It’s implying that your team lost because they wanted to do the things the winning team is doing

Do you think the public is so stupid to believe this nonsense?

Nothing makes you dumber than believing a Republican

Totally. You need to incite an even bigger riot and then run away even faster. [….]

Hot Take Senator Coward. Keep flying that Trump flag.

Are you saying you will raise the price of insulin, expand gun laws to make it easier for our kids to get shot, stop the infrastructure bill and cut SS & Medicare??

You are literally Washington Republicanism Mr. Running Man. Sit down.

You guys framing “infrastructure” has something bad is so fundamentally fucking weird to me. Like you know you’re smarter than this. Why are you pretending, and trying to convince your voters, that fixing crumbling national infrastructure is somehow a bad thing?

Why?

You lost because of abortion, the fact you don’t accept elections where you lose, and the fact you let a crazy man lead your party and pick yoru candidates.

Because fascism is better? [….]

Gee, Josh, do you think it maybe also has something to do with the GOP gerrymandering constituents into disenfranchisement, suppressing votes for years, and planning a murderous coup to install a fascist dictator based on total lies that you all knew were lies?#GOPFascistTraitors

So you’re OK with diabetics paying 1,000 dollars a month, as opposed to 35 dollars?

So you’re OK with 19 dead kids and 2 teachers, as opposed to more background checks?

So you’re OK with infrastructure, much of which was built in the 1950s?

Hey Josh! Are you going to try another coup this year or wait until ’24 ??

This is the dumbest take I’ve seen yet.

Self-awareness has never been one of Josh Hawley’s (r) traits.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
If Republicans take back Congress, they’ve got to go after the corruption – in the FBI, DOJ, IRS and everywhere. Top to bottom house cleaning
[….]
9:28 PM · Oct 12, 2022

Some of the responses:

Meh. I’ll catch the highlights later on Russian state TV.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

How ironic. That’s what needs to be done with the Republican Party. Starting with Trump and his inner circle. Also all GOP lawmakers who are defending the treasonous former president. And every GOP member that helped incite the insurrection. They must all be held accountable!

Sure Josh…why do something to make Americans lives better…by all means focus on solidifying power

[….] speaking of running, can you run to the MO Capitol and Resign?

Look in the mirror, Josh.

You committed treason.

Nazis hate law and order, unless they’re in power.

Start with you

I am all in for ridding Congress of the corruption. Start with Josh “I really live in Missouri but my home is in Virginia” Hawley.

Traitor says what? [….]

We should start with you. You participated in an #insurrection. #Traitor

Got to start with the corruption in your backyard (the one not in Missouri), your treasonous antics, then the rest of your treason teammates. Might want to start running now like a lil B.

Says the forever branded SEDITIONIST! [….]

Just run away, you’re good at that

Seditious, treasonous, fascist, coward Josh: TikTok TikTok

How about we start with Republican senators involved with Jan 6th?

Fascist.

Run Joshie, run!

Trying to deflect from the Jan 6 hearing today , eh? You bring shame to the state of Missouri. Fanone described you perfectly.

Insurrection for $500, Alex.

Can we start with you?

Quit embarrassing your state. (Missouri, in case you forgot)

If anyone can launch a fruitless, expensive, fraudulent, wasteful investigation, it’s Trump groveling Hawley.

What a load of bull – Corruption is what Josh here is engaging in! Working to corrupt people’s belief in our country based on hot air and empty accusations. That’s a helluva take for someone who was a willing participant in trying to subvert people’s votes in a vile power grab.

You sound guilty.

Pardon me, but what corruption? Fascists like yourself were busy corrupting and politicizing the DOJ and IRS to protect Trump and GOPers, while attacking your political enemies. You’re explicitly going to do what you claim Democrats have done (but haven’t actually done).

Is this the same Josh Hawley that used the Big Lie to undermine our democracy?

Run, Joshie, run!!

Run along now

Notice how these guys never run on any platform that actually helps the American people.

Throwing shit against the wall just to see if anything sticks…again

Last Friday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
[….]
The Left’s War On History Is Really A War On The God Of The Bible
America as we know it is the product of the revolution of the Bible. But now that biblical inheritance is under siege.
1:38 PM · Sep 16, 2022

Anyone really think he believes this shit?

Some of the responses:

Dude only weak men with weak constitutions and weak faith try to start a “holy wars” in the name of their God that nobody has any interest in. [….]

[….] A scumbag seditionist with a Bible does not a Christian make.
– a proverb, probably.

Well, since we’re on a path toward religious war in the U.S., I’ve decided to invest in Toyota stock. [….]

This might be one of the saddest attempts at Biblical exegesis I’ve ever read.

Good grief why aren’t you embarrassed of this

I mean it’s hard to know where to begin, Senator, but ask any Jew, scholar of Judaism, or person who’s read Wikipedia and they’ll tell you that in no way was Christianity a continuation of a revolution started by the Jews

Honestly, the youth pastor act is getting tired, but more than that it is counter to the Enlightenment ideals that actually brought us the American Revolution, and it is also not your job

I understand that you think your electoral future is best served by stirring up your base against the non-believers, heathens, and those of faiths other than your version of Christianity, but all your talk of us and them could not be more anti-American or more dangerous

Separation of church & state, sir. It’s a foundation of this country as it should be. We welcome ALL religions, all ethniticities. We are the melting pot. I love diversity and opportunities to learn about other cultures. In a country of freedom, why force others to your beliefs?

Up yours. [….]

Funny, they could have mentioned the Bible as a source of the rights there in the Declaration but instead went with “self-evident.” Why do you think that was?

I know this is off topic, but what brand of running shoe do you use? I’m in the market for a comfy shoe, ready and willing to work when I need to run.

Josh Hawley is a coward

First, the is no such thing as “the woke left.” This is a marketing strategy to encourage division—woke vs non- woke, for instance. Second, everything else is misrepresention and lies. It is not a foundation of Christianity to lie, manipulate, or bear false witness, Mr. Hawley.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Dude, quit pushing your religion on people. It really is pretty disturbing how infatuated you all are with your beliefs. Try being a good human. You know just to be a good human

What God and what Bible? Yours isn’t the only one, you know.

Some serious Christo-fascism from running man

Once again I’m ashamed you are my Senator. This may be a new low for you too, thought you were religious? This says the opposite

Let’s see your biblical study credentials?
Because after reading this, your seminary should be discredited if they let you graduate.

Maybe Josh Hawley (r) should ask for his money back.

Your god is not my god, Mr. Constitutional Lawyer.

Run that by me again.

No it’s not. You’re the ones that have a problem with history. Practice your religion however you want, just keep it out of my government. I see nothing Christian about you.

Keep your religion out of my government.

ThErE’S a WaR oN mAgIc SkY dAdDy. I hAvE tHe SaDs.

Reskinning the Taliban with Christianity doesn’t make it any better, Josh.

Hard no on theocratic governance.

Today from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The big three credit card companies say they will start tracking gun purchases, making it easier to track gun owners – and to stop sales. Big threat to Second Amendment rights. I want to know from the corporations why they capitulated to the anti-2A lobby
[….]
9:47 AM · Sep 13, 2022

There was much hilarity in the responses:

They track what I buy in when , where.

No one makes me use it , not government so not an issue.

Pay cash when you go to the strip club.

Has NOTHING to do with 2nd amendment.
Everything to do with catching criminals.

Why does tracking weapon ownership make you nervous?

How many kids need to be liquified in their classrooms?

Then don’t buy a gun with a credit card [….]

Why do ” good guys with guns” always worry about who knows they have guns? If you have them legally, what’s the problem? If they can track people buying guns illegally, what’s the problem?

There is nothing in the Constitution that gives you the right to have your gun ownership be secret.

That’s not how any of this works. They are not tracking gun purchases. They are categorizing retailers that sell guns for risk assessment purposes. They have been doing this for decades with various types of businesses.

I’m sorry, but as a gun owner, why do I care if they track my purchase? Its not like I’m trying to shoot up a school and then offering thoughts and prayers. [….]

Please tell me what in the world is wrong with making sure guns don’t get into the wrong hands?

Because it’s bad business to passively encourage mass murder? Meh, you’re a traitor, so you wouldn’t get it

Sure the second amendment stipulate ownership should remain secret? I thought it said you had the right to bear. Why would anybody want to keep it a secret?

But its perfectly OK for anti-abortion states to track women’s period and ovulation private app data. Hypocrite!

You went to law school? Please explain how this is a “big threat to 2nd amendment rights?

How does the constitution force credit card companies to do business a certain way?

I dont understand how this has anything to do with the second amendment

How do these policies oppose the 2A support of militias?

They don’t.

You troll with lies. That’s all you can do.

#ResignHawley

Josh, you may have a right to bear arms but

1. Credit card company owns it until you pay the item off, and if they don’t track it, they can’ t repo it.

2 your right to own it was never a ‘ secret’ right.

Tracking is not prohibiting. So no affect on 2nd Amendment rights.

Would you really characterize the purchase of a firearm as exactly the same as the purchase of any “other retail products,” such as top shelf wine or a gym membership or Federalist Society dues, or might it be in some hard-to-figure way kind of different?

We see what you did there.

They track all your purchases. Always have [….]

there is this super archaic way of buying stuff without anyone being able to track you. you may have heard of it. it’s called cash

I believe credit card companies have the right to decide what can and can’t be bought on their credit. Stop interfering with business – just run away.

When you buy mdse using a credit card, some include damage/loss protection. They need to know what you purchased if they decide not to offer this protection on specific items. Think. It’s enlightening.

But it’s ok to want to track women’s menstrual cycles right? Not at all an invasive of privacy. RUN along sir

“The sound of children screaming has been removed.”

They do this for gas, groceries, and restaurants too. Are my rights to those threatened? Knowing that you purchased a gun with a credit card in no way restricts you from buying one. There is always cash.

You think he spent it all at the strip club?

Just asking.

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.

Fascist pig says what?

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
[….]
10:32 PM · Sep 1, 2022

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?

“…Now I know he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…” Claire McCaskill (D) – August 17, 2017

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Joe Biden at it again, abusing his power to put working people on the hook for billions in college debt. It’s unfair to millions who played by the rules – and to millions more who don’t want to subsidize wacky professors teaching men can get pregnant
3:50 PM · Aug 24, 2022

As always with Josh Hawley (r) there is much hilarity in the responses:

This applies to you, @HawleyMO [sic] :

“You literally canceled $1,900,000,000,000
in tax cuts for the rich.
You should sit this one out.”
[….]

We see what you did there.

You mean the working people…who went to college? Are we pretending people who went to college don’t now work? How stupid are you?

Dude. You went to Stanford. I went to Stanford. Every student from a family earning less than $150K gets a full ride. What the actual fvck are you talking about?
[….]

Josh Hawley, I paid off my student loans, and I’m really happy to see that Biden will forgive $10,000 of student loans. It won’t help me, but it’s a smart investment in the future of the country.

Your own constituents struggle with college debt: educators, nurses, and social workers.

Do you not care about those of us who want to better our communities, but require college education to do so?

How much was your college debt?

How many wacky professors are teaching men can get pregnant?

How many U.S. Senators claim Joe Biden’s election was the result of not playing by the rules?

Oh dear, young man.
Why are you so angry?
You DO NOT speak for my middle class values.

But you were ok with trump putting all Americans on the hook to pay for the tax cuts to the 1% right?

You had no problem with taxpayers paying for Trump’s golf trips to his own properties, charging the USSS for the rooms they used, the food they ate, and use of golf carts at a higher rate than other guests. Hypocrite.

Did… did you actually read this before you posted it? I thought you were college educated….

Of course, many students have this debt because your party has been defunding public universities for quite some time.

Bingo.

How about all the corporations who get tax breaks? Is it fair to the ones that don’t, or to the people that subsidize it? I eagerly await your response.

What’s not fair are usurious student loans that compound monthly, making them virtually impossible to pay off. If Republicans in Congress would stop blocking banking reform, we could change this. Until then, forgiving these loans for people earning less than $125K/year is fair.

Nonsense anybody older than 50 went to school when the government subsidized 75% of tuition costs. Ronald Reagan eliminated that and he also cut back on how easy it was to get Pell Grants and cut back on getting direct government loans pushing people into banks if they wanted to

Josh, your private high school costs $15,000/year. Did your family take out loans to pay for that? What’s that? No? Ahh, I see how it is.

Did your family take out loans for Stanford ($56k/year)?

How about Yale Law School ($60k/year)? Did you incur any debt at all?

Oh just stop. I paid mine off… but the interest rate was low (1.5%). It’s not the same thing. These kids are making their payments, paying back more than they borrowed and end up with a balance that is 2x what they borrowed. This isn’t a loan, it’s indentured servitude.

How pathetic of you. It’s hard out there for people. The predatory terms of these loans traps people in poverty. Keep running your mouth just like you run for your life down the halls of the Capitol.

Why do you assume that this isn’t helping working people, Josh? Is it because you spend so much time making sure rich people & corporations get all the breaks that you’re out of touch with working class people in the state you “represent” but can’t be bothered to live in?

You are a laughingstock.

I am thrilled if some of my taxes go to cancelling student debt. I feel I’ve been blessed, and I should share the wealth with those NOT so blessed. Why don’t YOU feel that way?

Why do Republicans hate higher education so much?

The people with student loan debt did, “play by the rules” – they worked hard and went to college. They probably worked summers and part times jobs during the school year, too. This is something coming from a YALE and STANFORD graduate.

No rich guy, this is going to help working folks. Perhaps a better investment than the $1.5 trillion in breaks you gave corporate America.

Surprised you can text and run at the same time.

Hey Josh. Missouri voter here. I’ve never voted for you and I never will. My son & d-in-law will benefit from this. Do you know what will happen to the money they save from this? Build a home, buy a car, pay for their child’s education. It all gets reinvested into the economy.

Is this where I get to decide which government programs I don’t want to pay for because they don’t benefit me personally? Cuz I got a list.

by rules you mean wealthy parents? a trust fund? good enough mental and physical health to work 2 jobs? willingness to forgo healthcare to pay for school? No need for childcare? Because those are the rules that allow people to get higher education and not go into debt.

I’m a parent who helped 3 children get through college w/no loans. Our family made choices and sacrifices to do that. I LOVE this! I wish Biden’s plans went further. What happened to our sense of community? Is your entire philosophy, “What’s in it for me?”

Missourian here. Next tweet about how working people are on the hook for billionaire tax breaks.

And on and on…
