Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday:

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
Once again phony political posturing by manhood expert Hawley. From Hulse at NYT “The Hawley amendment is absolutely crushed with just 17 yes votes. Even fellow Republicans were dismissive.” Of course they were. They know what he is.
9:07 PM · Jun 1, 2023

Heh.

Josh Hawley (r) introduced an amendment to the debt ceiling bill. It was deflated and didn’t fly:

Roll Call Vote 118th Congress – 1st Session Vote Summary

Question: On the Amendment (Hawley Amdt. No. 93)
Vote Number: 140
Vote Date: June 1, 2023, 09:05 PM

Amendment Number: S.Amdt. 93 to H.R. 3746 (No short title on file)

Vote Counts:
YEAs 17
NAYs 81

81 no votes.

SA 93. Mr. HAWLEY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 3746, to provide for a responsible increase to the debt ceiling; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. __. IMPOSITION OF DUTIES TO BALANCE TRADE WITH THE
PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

China.–Not later than January 31 of each year, the President

States from the People’s Republic of China; and
(2) the total value of articles exported from the United
States to the People’s Republic of China.
(b) Imposition of Duties.–
(1) In general.–If the total value calculated under
paragraph (1) of subsection (a) exceeds the total value
calculated under paragraph (2) of that subsection for the
preceding calendar year, the President shall impose an
additional duty with respect to each article imported into
the United States from the People’s Republic of China of 25
percent ad valorem.
(2) Additional duties.–A duty imposed under paragraph (1)
shall be in addition to any duty previously applicable with
respect to an article.
(c) Continued Imposition of Duties.–The duties imposed
under subsection (b) with respect to articles imported into
the United States from the People’s Republic of China shall
remain in effect until the total value calculated under
paragraph (1) of subsection (a) is equal to or less than the
total value calculated under paragraph (2) of that subsection
for the preceding calendar year.

81 no votes. No respect. Heh.

Debt ceiling, Fascist pig, Josh Hawley, right wingnut, U.S. Senate, Virginia, WTF?

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

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Or maybe, Josh Hawley (r) just slept through his classes.

Today:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
On the debt ceiling, my view is the most important deficit we face is the trade deficit with China. Every dollar represents jobs lost (60k & counting in Missouri), industry lost, communities decimated. We’ve got to quit making China rich & get good blue-collar jobs back in USA
12:37 PM · Jun 1, 2023

A trade deficit and the debt ceiling are not the same thing. Josh Hawley (r) might not know this. Maybe he should ask for his tuition money back.

Some of the responses:

Repeal trump’s tax giveaways for the wealthy. Stop subsidizing Big Oil. Stop preventing the IRS from doing its job. There are ways to reduce the debt and deficit without crashing our economy.

Run along Josh [….]

Like all the jobs you’ve brought to Missouri?

Missouri? When did you ever care about Missourians? Loser

No one cares what you think traitor

#TaxTheRich and reverse #TrumpTaxScam

You Voted AGAINST the Infrastructure Bill & the Chips and Science Act, both of which will bring tons of good paying blue-collar jobs in the USA and to Missouri, so Your Actions say the opposite of Your Words. #LIAR

Missouri unemployment rate is under 3%. May e you’re thinking about Virginia, where you actually live.

How would you resolve a perceived trade imbalance with legislation to suspend the debt ceiling? [….]

He doesn’t know and he doesn’t care.

How is that related to the debt ceiling?

Then vote motion to vacate McCarthy.

Heh. Josh Hawley’s (r) base.

You’re a no so you can be the faux “fighter” that fights nothing. You know this will pass so you leave the dirty work of governing to others. You’re not a populist. You’re not a fighter. You’re a self promoter and the act is getting tired. Very tired.

Discretionary spending has fallen more than 40% in the past 50 years as a percentage of the nation’s gross domestic product (from 11% to 6.3%).

Josh Hawley voted no on the Chips Act…

You don’t even think enough of us to live here. Hard to think you’re doing anything more than posturing.

You don’t actually live in Missouri.

With your ivory-league education I’m sure you realize the debt ceiling is not the vehicle to address those concerns. This whole debacle has shown us who’s really there to govern & who’s there for soundbites.

We see what you did there. Sort of.

Go figure the traitor is pro-default. Resign

Hell, you don’t even LIVE in Missouri Joshy!— you RAN AWAY from there too! No Manhood award for you!!

To start, how about investing in infrastructure projects, like high speed rail and clean energy? These are the areas where China is leaving the U.S. behind. We’re not in the 19th and 20th centuries anymore. Speaking of blue collar jobs, where are you on unionization?

Take a wild guess.

Why does Missouri allow China to buy land?

You might want to ask Eric Schmitt (r) about that one.

I hope the other senators like paying our bills.

So you support the CHIPS act?

Uh, no.

That has nothing to do with the debt ceiling, you grandstanding elongated toddler

My view is you’re a stupid, corrupt son of a bitch without even the integrity to try to hide that fact.

You were a NO no matter. Nothing to be proud of that your party sent the jobs overseas to begin with you EVIL piece of shit.

ad, Josh Hawley, Lucas Kunce, missouri, U.S. Senate, Virginia

Lucas Kunce (D) [2023 file photo].

An ad from Lucas Kunce’s (D) U.S Senate campaign:

[A message from Jon Hamm, born and raised in Missouri.]

Manhood.

You’d hope that means courage.

Courage isn’t something you can give speeches
or write a book about.

It’s not sitting on the sidelines while others sacrifice,
or denying help to those who did.

It isn’t putting people down or trying to control them,
or using your own power for profit or ambition.

In Missouri, you can’t fake courage.

We’re the Show-Me State.

Courage is something you have to show us.

It shows in the working class people that pitch in
to help the family next door bankrupted by medical bills.

It shows in the Marine who signed up to honor
and serve the community that took care of him.

It shows when a Missourian stands up to the powerful.
When he fights to rebuild his state.

To empower people, to secure our future.

If you want to be told about manhood,
some guy wrote a book about it.

But if you want someone to show you courage,
send Lucas Kunce to the Senate.

Well, Josh (r)?

This evening:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Manhood keeps going strong – and the libs are having crying fits. Order your copy here
[….]
5:57 PM · May 21, 2023

A few of the reviews:

A seditous conspiratorial chicken

Josh Hawley should be writing about his current life as a seditious conspirator supporting the insurrection against our electoral form of governmentand, making him an enemy of our democracy, not attempting to preach about manhood, a topic that is beyond his scope of understanding. Watch Josh Hawley running through the corridors of our Capital after encouraging the seditious terrorists who violently attacked that building on Jan. 6, 2021, brutally assaulting police officers and causing the death of one, breaking doors and windows, defecating in halls and offices, carrying a Confederate flag through the hallowed chambers, and explicitly threatening and seeking to hang elected politicians including Mike Pence, our Vice President at the time, and setting up a gallows outside the building. Mr. Hawley has no business preaching about manhood, religious ideology or societal values.

Will put hair on your chest hair.

This book is so manly that it’s hard to hold. Strangely, as soon as I opened it up I started craving nuts. Beer nuts, truck nuts, lug nuts, every kind of nut except zagnuts. Almost right away it got easier to suppress my emotions and grunt. I starting eating Manwiches for lunch every day. By chapter 4 my chest hair was growing it’s own hair. Speaking of hair, reading this book made me throw out all my hair care products and start buying aftershave at Rite-Aid. Thanks to Josh Hawley’s ghostwriter I’ve been freed from trying to out-groom my ex-wife’s lawyer. He’s such a Beta. Why is he always at our house?
Anyway by the middle of this amazing book you’ll be so manly you won’t even need to read the rest, you’ll just KNOW what it says. Of course I’m no quitter so I’m still planning on finishing it. In my new larger truck I Flex-taped a small gunrack to my dash bored to hold this book open while I drive. I’m on my way to pick up a George Foreman grill right now. Read this boo

Hubris

Once again Josh Hawley demonstrates his unique brand of narcissism, opportunism, hubris, sexism, misogyny…and the list goes on. He is playing a substantial role in the continuing demise of the Republican Party, and of so-called Christian values.

Masculinity Sponge

Somehow – and I can’t explain it scientifically – this book actually removed testosterone from me, gradually at first, but then at an increased pace until I had to stop reading it. Once I put the book down – all my testosterone seemed to return, though, so all is well, I suppose.

My warning – be careful – the man and his words seem to come from a place where there is an actual masculinity black hole, a vortex, if you will, so lacking in manliness that will remove it from the reader.

Don’t bother

Even for a free copy it is overpriced. Hawley’s sanctimonious instruction of how to beat the most dangerous risk to America—not being manly like him—would be sad if it wasn’t so comical. Arrogance isn’t pretty at the best of times; some times it’s just cringe-worthy.

This book gave me Diphtheria

Can we rate negative stats? Two minutes in not only did I feel like less of a man by being told by a lesser man what being a man is all about. It made want to look up caves on Zillow where I could store my wife-beating clubs and deer carcuses as I return to the neanderthalic hunter-gatherer the Running Man thinks we should be. He should have to pay us for the medical bills we, as males, are going to have to pay when women universally kick our asses for listening to this fake misogynistic coward tell us who we should be.
Zero stars, would burn in the fire pit again.

Sales are that bad eh?

We’re not crying, we’re just rolling our eyes.

Decided to explore a career in fiction, Josh?

I’m not having a crying fit. I’m just not going to buy it.

No one is giving it any thought. We don’t care.

Hard pass, Scooter…

That’s your marketing ploy?..buy my book to make the libs mad?
[….]

Easy marks.

Nobody wants this. Nobody. Not even as a gag gift, although I thought about it.

Oh please. Nobody cares.

Actually, liberals don’t care

Fleecing the Trumpers once again

Lots of laughter and ridicule. No crying that I can see.

It will be in the bargain bin next week.

Why do I care if you are selling books?

Josh Hawley’s primary motivation is to upset liberals.

that’s all he has to offer America.

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The modern left attacks the Bible at the same time it attacks traditional masculinity. But we need the Bible to understand what manhood and womanhood mean. It remains the bedrock of our culture, and the West
[….]
7:49 PM · May 14, 2023

Which bible? Which “tradition”?

Some of the responses:

I am a Christian, but I do not need the Bible to define me. Your version of manhood or womanhood do not work for me. I am American, and while I choose Christianity for me, everyone here is free to choose their own faith, or no faith. I believe in separation of church and state.

You cannot force people other religions to live by the Bible. Heck most Republicans do not live by the Bible. Take Donald Trump for example. He’s a hypocrite. You are a hypocrite. Your behavior during the insurrection was not something Jesus would do. Somehow I don’t see him rising his fist.

bruh, u super creepy

The left attacks you not respecting separation of church and state, Mr. “Manhood.” That includes Christians.
[….]

No the left doesn’t. It’s just nobody wants your interpretation of the Bible, masculinity or femininity Josh. Because it’s clear you struggle with defining what all 3 of those terms mean.

the founding fathers warned us about theocratic tyranny……….. it’s here

The modern right is actually centuries old and walks around with a pitchfork in one handle, a Bible in the other by the glow of candlelight.

Nope, we just attack hypocrites whoo use the Bible as a weapon.

Josh .. what’s with you and the masculinity thing? You seem a bit obsessed with the whole thing.

a book of mostly fiction is not a guideline for any country

Here’s a tip about the Bible, Josh, all those parts that begin “the wicked do this” are not instructions.

No, it’s not.

Please stop with the faux Christian charade

You can do whatever your Bible tells you to do, but you have no right to dictate how the rest of us live in a free country.

No, the left aren’t a bunch of fake Christians using the Bible as a prop.

No it doesn’t

Says who?

separation of church and state. We don’t all care about your bible.

Meanwhile, polls show many Americans are becoming more Secular.

So a book written when people didn’t know why the sun came up in the east and set in the west is where he goes for wisdom.

Keep the Bible out of our government, #TraitorJosh.

Notice how some modern ‘Christians’ like Josh Hawley continually spew hateful rhetoric about migrants who are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. And they bear false witness on #FoxLies against fellow Americans that they don’t like.

As a Christian, I can confirm that Jesus NEVER said ANYTHING about masculinity involving men being “aggressive” OR discussing guns……
[….]

Stop shoving your beliefs down our throats!

You must love Handmaid’s Tale for inspiration.

Name someone who attacks the bible. The “modern left” is of the mindset “Live and let live.”
Oh, and also, “MYOFB.” [….]

Clown.

Oh so you’re a fake Christian also. Resign.

I don’t attack the Bible, Josh. I will, however, correct people like you who misuse the Bible as a weapon instead of Good News to God’s people.

Senator Hawley apparently never studied Greek, Roman, Jewish, African, Latin American, Native American, Muslim or ANY other culture, NONE of which are Christian civilizations and ALL of which are the MULTIPLE and diverse “bedrocks” of Western Civilization.

Toxic masculinity is a huge problem in this country.

This is a product of Yale law school. So sad.

If you want laws based on your Bible, tax the church you insurrectionist coward.

Please be quiet. You have nothing, and I do mean NOTHING consequential to say. Just stop.

I’m a Christian woman who rejects the White nationalist interpretation of the Bible. Don’t question or define my womanhood.

Therapy can help with your insecurities.

Your assertion in respect to masculinity, femininity, and the bible is a matter of subjectivity. You have a belief that is only valid for yourself and others of a like minded disposition. You are perfectly free to speak your belief but NOT free to impose it.

MAGA Republicans think that wrapping themselves in Bible quotes will give them a pass. The problem is that quoting the Bible doesn’t coverup the anti-Christian actions that they are trying to force on the majority of Americans.

No one is attacking the Bible, running man, we just want your face out of our laws

When the politician starts preaching they’re lying.

The Bible and the Constitution are not the same thing, Bro.

Keep your religion to yourself. It is NOT the bedrock of everyone’s belief system.

Pander, pander, pander.

The “modern left” has no problem with the Bible. However, it is not, and can not be, the controller document for our government. That is what The Constitution is for. Our country was founded on the principle of separating church and state.

The Bible may be your “bedrock,” Josh. But not everyone views the Bible this way & forcing people to accept & live life based on Christian beliefs is wrong & unconstitutional. It denies the existence and importance of other religions in our country.

[….]
7:56 PM · May 3, 2023

Some of the responses:

I assume you were on record about this issue during the Trump administration as well?

Didn’t think so…

He has already released them. Check off tax returns And who do you want to release them. All of it is public record. All of it.

I don’t remember you asking to see all of trump’s business dealings when he was refusing to release his taxes

Fake news from Josh the insurrectionist.
[….]

What actual factual evidence is there other than the allegations of a possibly fabricated whistleblower? You all keep running the same plays from the tired old playbook. We seen this movie already man. We’ve had enough. Share the absolute evidence backed FACTS or keep walking.

Actually, Josh Hawley (r) is better known for running.

Remember when you said that about Trump’s tax returns. Oh..

And your primary residence is in which state? I mean, if you have nothing to hide.

Run, Josh, run.

Biden has published his tax returns for heaven knows how long … 20 years +? I don’t think he’s hiding anything. Come on, show some evidence.

Since you neglected to do that with Trump and family, what makes you think you have the right to call for it now?

IOKIYAR*

Joshy Hawley I really want to know what you said on those multiple phone calls to the White House prior to the January 6th, if there is nothing to hide, then why do you refuse to talk about them, I am just asking the question

Will you say the same about Traitor 45 and Kushner?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Yes Plse show the evidence Fistpump McRunpants.

The old guilty until proven innocent from the fascist right. Unbelievable.

Let’s see your text messages/calls from November 2020 to Jan 6!

Now do trump.

You are awful, shameless and dishonest. Your strategy of self promotion is laughable. Wear it.

Yes, let’s see all of Trump’s business dealings, Clarence Thomas’ finances, etc. Put it all out there.

Tell Americans where you really live.

Like Trump did with his tax returns? That’s right – you were demanding he show those, right? Why don’t you actually accuse Biden of a crime, then prove he did it, instead of asking him to prove himself innocent of something he hasn’t been accused of? What a joke you are.

Now do Jared and the Saudis.

Imagine thinking you have any credibility.

And you said WHAT about Trump being the first major party presidential candidate in 45 years not to release his tax returns?

I’m struggling to remember.

Love to say more but I have to run…
[….]

An amazing quote coming from a guy that tried to end democracy as we know it for a guy that has insanely murky business dealings.

If there’s nothing to hide about All SCOTUS Justices business dealings – then make it all public. Let the American people see the truth

He made his tax returns public……what was Trump hiding?

Oh, the irony…

It is public! Unlike Trump, Biden’s released all his tax returns.

Like Clarence Thomas’ business dealings? Or Trump’s?

Josh Hawley murders puppies. We have no proof, but he has to prove he’s innocent. Show us you don’t murder cute adorable little puppies, you monster.

* it’s okay if you’re a republican

4:16 PM · May 2, 2023

Some of the responses:

Other than pumping your fist at them from a safe distance, have you ever interacted with a blue collar worker, Yale Law man?

You understand blue collar like Trump understands truth.

Nope. That’s not what happened. Just because this seditionist traitor says it doesn’t make it true. He’s counting on people not actually watching the video. Run away Josh.
[….]

[….] “The Federalist” Joshy? Can’t you find a more objective outlet? You do suck at this and your staff sucks for letting you tweet this crap. Perhaps you should review your staff credentials?

Are you bored today Hawley? Don’t you have any work to do?

The Federalist? Is that the best coverage you could find? Are they they only source that pretends to think you came off looking good? They’ve failed so many fact checks, I wouldn’t trust anything they say.
[….]

Name one blue collar person who said that. I’ll wait traitor.

I do appreciate your commitment to your beliefs, no matter how misguided they may be. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for something that is so unpopular and out of touch with reality.

She didn’t dismiss any such thing. The Federalist has no credibility. Neither do you. #HawleyIsATraitor #GOPSeditiousTraitors

I dismiss you all the time.

Are you trying to imply that you somehow can relate to blue-collar people Mr. Ivy Leauge Prep School?

You’re a liar because that is not what she said.

Hawley is providing misinformation, as usual. There are many blue collar jobs (like pipeline workers) that become less labor intensive tech and alternative energy jobs. One sector shrinks. The other grows. Guess which one Josh get money from?

No she didn’t
[….]

Blue collar concerns are nonexistent with the GOP

How are you possibly this dense? Everything she was telling you is factual, and everything you spouted out was bs. Radical climate agenda?!?!? Are you serious!???

9:02 AM · Apr 27, 2023

Some of the responses:

Fox news??? [….] You should be embarrassed using the confirmed ” liars network” as a source!

Yeah that’s not true. At all. Someone remind me of The President’s religious affiliation again please…

Josh isn’t going to wait to start repeating Fox’s bullshit.

They didn’t target Catholics in general.

And why’s your wife trying to take away medication for abortions and miscarriages for the entire country?

Taking Missouri back to the dark ages wasn’t enough?

ok insurrectionist

Is the War on Catholics bigger than the War on Christmas, Josh?

I just need to make sure I get my wars in correct order.

Thanks.

You lie and lie! Insurrectionist [….]

Missouri didn’t hire you to be the “National Victim”! Do some work for your constituents.

Josh (r) has ladders to climb.

Aren’t you running somewhere?

I will not click on a Fox News article Josh

By being Catholic, does that shield me from investigation?
Great racket, if true.

are you getting scared ? that you grabbing the last straw, Religion??? no matter how you scream and kick you will be held accountable.

You have some nerve opining about what ANY branch of the government you conspired against ought to be doing, SEDITIONIST

Perhaps you can fill us in on your plans for overthrowing a legitimately elected government…because you have LIED…and LIED and LIED…over and over again….

Go ahead, running boy. Let us know how that works for you.

Fake news

Josh Hawley and Fox News. Say no more.

You have lied and lied and lied about everything. You are useless

Yeah why not sue?
What exactly is the reason for not suing?
Is there some part of the process where both sides have to present legally verifiable facts and evidence that’s stopping the lawsuit?

Heh.

Catholic here! I’m fine with DOJ finding criminals anywhere!

The FBI for years has looked at religious institutions whose members start using violent or anti-government rhetoric. You seem quite quiet about the fact this is done to literally every other religious group in the US.

Fox News has lied and lied and lied.Sue them
Oh, somebody did and got 3/4 of a Billion dollars!!

Getting more desperate I see.

Oh please – I’m Catholic snd no one’s targeting us.

No, it’s Fox News and you who’ve lied and lied, Senator Seditious.
