“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Heh.

Today:

Senator Josh Hawley
[December 18, 2023]
Hunter’s alleged influence-peddling campaign seems to be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Biden family crime syndicate.
Americans deserve to know the full story.
[….]

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

Wish there was a thumbs DOWN option for this post. Crime family? What a crock of….

A crime family syndicate from Hawley and Ingraham……two people who would not know the truth if it slap them upside their backside. Trump taught them both how to lie.

Fox News Josh the GOP party – give Trump a pass – took ladies rights away, to send a mob to the use Capitol US officers beaten, Trump took top secrets papers home and shared them. Trump ask Putin to find dirt on Biden. The GOP party don’t give D-M about this. Josh needs to be kick out congress. For letting this happen.

Old fist pump is nothing more but a frightened sad little buffoon Desperately Seeking attention where was his outrage when Ivanka and Jared Kushner we’re making a billion dollar deal with the Saudis

Yes, we do. We still have little or no conclusive evidence, even from the investigation done recently, but that does not matter, it seems. Logic would tell us that the most likely cause for impeachment is that your party wants revenge for impeaching trump twice. You certainly have accused the President over and over, but not brought forth any evidence yourself. So what is your excuse for trying to undermine our government, our voting system and our system of justice?

It’s how they do things in Virginia.

More like the whole of the ice cube. After a year of investigation, Comer and his clowns have nothing on Joe Biden. Meanwhile the RAPIST that Hawley supports is under 4 indictments and 91 felony charges.

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

The projection of Trump is astounding and everyone knows that sociopaths like him and hawley will stop at nothing to kill our country for the benefit of a few .

WHERE IS THE PROOF?? Been looking for 6 years into Hunter and 3 years into Joe. I REPEAT…. WHERE IS THE PROOF?? Dumb A$$ES!!

Grassley admits he has no evidence. House repugs have been investigating for years, and they’ve got nothing. Y’all just look desperate.

Still goin on about this? You’ve been wrong about everything so far…

After 5 years? You got nothing, spineless wimp

Josh is a full blown LIAR

Today from Josh Hawley (r):

Senator Josh Hawley
[November 11, 2023]
Happy #VeteransDay to the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to the service of this great nation.
Thank you for your sacrifice in defending America and preserving our freedom
[….]

Some of the responses:

If you cared about Veterans & Active Duty MILITARY you’d stop Tuberville’s hold!
I’m from Missouri! Don’t just post platitudes, DO SOMETHING!
SHOW ME!

Remember to honor Running Man Day on January 6th.

We see what you did there.

Empty words, you voted against burn pit legislation. Nice try.

Too bad republicans continue to vote against vets at every opportunity.

RUN JOSH RUN
I defended this country!
YOU RAN AWAY!

Josh voted against each and every bill brought to the floor that would have helped our service members and veterans. VOTE HIM OUT. Run Josh run only helps himself He just now bought a home in Missouri—so vote him out. Let him go back to Virginia

Runaway traitor Josh Hawley pretending to support veterans! Hypocrisy at its finest

You go against the constitution every chance you get. You could care less about veterans.

Fist pump them like you did the insurrectionists
[….]

Resign you complicit pandering lying hack

Or as your hero calls them, suckers and losers.

An exchange of comments on Josh Hawley’s (r) page:

Your arrogance is laughable, especially in light of running away from trouble on 1/6. Run, Josh, run!!

And then, four sentences:

[….]they were all told to leave quickly. He waited until the others were well on their way then ran to catch up. Just because something is videotaped doesn’t mean it tells the whole story. Missouri loves Josh Hawley!

Say that really fast without taking a breath.

It’s a cult. We’re all doomed.

Senator Hawley: China is our number 1 foreign policy threat
[….]

As if nothing else is going on in the world?

Some of the responses:

Is that why you are voting to help Vladimir Putin (our actual enemy)?

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Possibly, but so is Vladimar Putin’s Russia, terrorism, and world wide inflation. You need to get to work and solve those problems. Whining is seldom productive, and fear-mongering actually gets in the way of doing anything.

Why are you silent about trump’s lawyers’ guilty pleasure, Senator Josh Hawley ?

How did this lil kid ever get elected … vote Josh out, he’s earned it

Remember the traitors who tried to overthrow our free and fair elections? Yeah, we do too.

At least you can run and hide when danger comes.

now you want a war with China! The typical GQP gaslighting antics by Joshy and Eric!

Yesterday:

Senator Josh Hawley
[September 15, 2023]
Hawley Stands Up for Auto Workers, Protecting American Jobs
[….]

Some of the responses:

Oh BULLSH*T – you’ve advocated for “Right to Work for LESS” every time. Faker.

Hawley could care less about the Auto Workers….. His BS gets deeper everyday!!

We do need to support the auto workers, but Hee Hawley is not really for the worker. HE SUPPORTS HIMSELF. Election time is rolling around.

[….] He is absolutely, 100% ANTI-UNION, and will do exactly NOTHING for unions. He will sign legislation into law empowering corporations and cutting corporate taxes and do exactly NOTHING for union members. You don’t have to guess or imagine about this. He’s already done it.

Yet, Republican party is anti union…Union workers helped the Auto Industry when they were in trouble and yet when they make billions in their first quarter they can not share the wealth….while CEO make tens of millions hundreds times their median worker.

Trump is one of two presidents who left office with fewer jobs than when he entered.
“One was President Hoover and the other was Donald Hoover Trump,” Biden said. “My predecessor promised to be the greatest job president in history. Well, it didn’t really work out that way. He lost 2 million jobs in the course of his presidency.”

“Hawley’s authoritarianism is like a gargoyle lurking over the cathedral, ready to pounce.”
Mitt Romney

How torqued is Running Mouth Man about the BILLIONS in stock buybacks the Big 3 have executed recently, instead of plowing the money into their workers?
And does Hee of the Hawley agree with his Lord and Corpulence that in 3 years, American manufacturers will make zero EV cars, while China makes them all? What is FleetofFoot’s plan to prevent that?
More seriously delivered platitudes, perhaps?

The combined profits of the big three automakers in the US over the last seven years exceeds $250 billion this has nothing to do with climate change mandates old fist pump is just trying to convince you of that he is a fool but he said it so he must believe it I don’t think he’s nearly as brilliant as Mitt Romney and everybody makes him out to be vote him out next year

They’re not buying it.
