You were expecting anything else?

Yesterday afternoon:

Rep. Sam Graves @RepSamGraves
Vaccines work. Vaccine mandates are wrong.

You shouldn’t be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine to work, travel, or live in this country.

It ought to be a personal decision.
3:00 PM · Dec 16, 2021

Know-nothing anti-science asshole.

Some of the responses:

Why haven’t you introduced legislation preventing the military requiring vaccinations?

I have been to six events in the KCMO area where showing a vaccination card was mandatory. It made me feel safer.

If people don’t want to get vaccinated, they didn’t have to attend.

What happens when your personal decision gives me covid

Rep Sam Graves forecast is cloudy with 5 more years of covid

But, freedumb!

I disagree. People who choose to be unvaccinated pose a public health threat; and specifically direct threats to the health of my 86-year old mom, an immune-compromised sister and anothet sister who is a front-line worker plus a greater threat for mutating variants.

We are all required to have all kinds of vaccines in order to go to school. Are you against those as well? Because I’ve never heard you complain until this particular vaccine.

Or, donor money is way more important than constituent health.

Soooo wrong, Rep! Everyone is MANDATED to have vaccines for school! Where have you been all your life?

He’s a republican. We rest our case.

You are wrong and not following the science.

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

800,000 dead American citizens makes it a patriotic responsibility. Stop spreading your amoral attitude about the vaccine.

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

Again, Sam. More than 800,000 dead of Covid. Numbers are on the rise again. Stop being a damn Republican and encourage testing, vaccines, and masks. You are irresponsible.

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

Are you gonna have to be shown why you’re a fool? Typical.

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

Idiot.
What if 30% of the US had decided never to get the polio vaccine?

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

What about measles, polio, TB, you are a covid idiot! #VaccinesWork #VaccineMandates #GOPDeathCult

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

Anything else going on around the 2nd Congressional District last night?

Last night:

Ann Wagner @AnnLWagner
Parents matter.
8:34 PM · Dec 10, 2021

Seriously.

Some of the responses:

Even parents sitting in nursing homes staffed with unvaccinated nursing home staff? Do those parents matter to you and your fellow Republicans?

Which parents, though?

The anti-mask, anti-vaxx, anti-DEI, anti-common decency, pro-using their kids as political props and causing harm to others in the process. FYI

You only matter to Ann if you’re gonna vote for her and support her bullshit agenda. Otherwise you don’t mean shit to her.

Hi Anne. Missouri parent here [….]. Going out on a limb and saying that the safety of our kids and educators matter more than a bunch of parents making threats and throwing temper tantrums.

There were online threats at my kid’s school this week. In your district. As a parent I had to come up w an answer when my daughter asked will they be ok/what if their school is next. Do parents of kids living w the trauma of daily gun violence matter? [….]

Hi Ann…mom (Parent) and grandma here. My family matters. My granddaughter matters along with her mom and dad( Parents). All of our safety and health matters but it seems the only ones that matter to you are the ones screaming , harassing, and threatening others. #FauxProLife

Teachers are parents, Ann. Do they matter?

Stop being dishonest. Parents have always mattered. When we as teachers would send home emails asking for parents help. They mattered. When we ask parents how can we assist them. This is not parents mattering — this is about controlling a narrative. Shame.

Parents have always mattered in my teaching experience. It’s why year after year we teachers long to see many of them at parent-teacher conferences, and the ones who need to come the most, don’t. We’re not the sacrificial lamb, the culprit, or scapegoat for your lack of policy.

Teachers in my district are being harassed by parents. Do they matter Ann?!

Apparently maybe? If they are also parents? Really, we know she’s saying only certain parents matter.

Ok,but there’s tornadoes and stuff.

Wow, Ann. Excellent tweet. You really nailed it.[….]

Question. Do kids matter? Does they’re health and safety and education matter?

I’d love to chat with you more about this. When will you be holding a town hall meeting?

Hi, check the weather app and see the tornado stuff all around us, including injuries and damage. Not now with your BS. [….] Try to be relevant once in a while.

@AnnLWagner so what’s your point? That they can harass bus drivers? That they can harass teachers? Why don’t you do your job and support constituents instead of fanning false flames for once.

I wonder how many of those parents attend parent-teacher conferences on a regular basis? How many attended the school board meetings prior to Covid? I bet the teachers can tell you.

Do all parents matter, or just some?

So do people’s lives. Probably more.

False narratives matter.

While you tweeted this, all of your constituents were in [their] basements for a tornado warning. Out of touch or what?

Oh c’mon, you can pander harder than that. Let’s hear some baseless threats, a conspiracy theory, communism, anything?

Possibly Ann Wagner’s stupidest tweet ever.

So far. Just give her time.

“Take cover” would have worked.

Ted Cruz (r) flew to Mexico for a vacation during a weather crisis in his state. You, Ann?

“…No hospital, physician, procurement organization, or other person shall consider the COVID-19 vaccination status of a potential organ transplant recipient or potential organ donor in any part of the organ transplant process…”

Bill prefiling for the Missouri General Assembly session started on December 1st.

Are masks optional during the procedure? What if the part gets vaccinated in transit? If an unvaccinated recipient gets a part from a vaccinated donor does the recipient then have to carry a vaccine passport?

Just asking.

There is no such thing as a “moderate” republican

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Today:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
The Biden administration’s vaccine mandate will have a harmful impact on U.S. employers, adding to the labor force and supply chain challenges that are already roiling the economy.
4:32 PM · Dec 7, 2021

What an ass.

Some of the comments:

Actually, not having a vaccine mandate and doing nothing to combat vaccine hesitancy is killing more Trump supporters than Biden supporters.
[….]

That’s “pro-life” for you.

And people dying or having to take off time from work for being sick or taking care of a loved one doesn’t have a negative impact? If your party hadn’t politicized the pandemic and has persuaded people that vaccines are bad, things would be much better.

I’m fine with a vaccine mandate. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, it’s very simple: either submit to a regular test, or stay in your house so you don’t put others in harm’s way.

The vaccine mandate will provide a safer work environment for employees. As someone who is impacted every day, I couldn’t disagree with you more.

How will it be harmful? I want facts! Not propaganda and sound bites!

It’s in his nature.

You know what’s had a harmful impact on US employers? The death of 800,000 Americans from Covid. A free and safe vaccine is available.

You have a harmful impact on your constituents every day. How is making sure we protect one another a bad thing?

People dying of COVID-19 add a strain on the supply chain. Maybe help stop the spread?

Nope….you are wrong

If people would rather lose their jobs that save their own lives and health and the lives and health of others, it’s not the fault of those trying to save lives with a minor requirement.

Stop working for American death and disease.

You have jello for brains

That’s quite generous.

It’ll save lives so of course Roy is against it! Why did trump Republicans want Americans to suffer and die???

In blue states they have been enforcing this rule and have near 100% compliance. Anyway hospitals already require employees to vaccinate for other things. Stop undermining the effort to fight Covid.

You are consistently a terrible person

Look dude, as Americans we work hard and are generous. We don’t need YOUR KIND who steals what they want then changes the law.
People with YOUR KIND of deviousness have been allowed to stay hidden for too long.

Your legacy is tied to trump.
Hope you choke on it.

Own it, Roy.

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

There you go.

Forget science. Forget public health. Missouri republicans are leading us all back to the Dark Ages.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

He doth protest too much, methinks

Eric Schmitt (r) [2021 file photo].

Today:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The broke, woke, corporate media editorial boards are enraged that as Attorney General I am seeking public records on how public officials formulated their tyrannical Covid responses.

I was reliably told — dEmoCracy diES in DarkNEsS. #NoMaskMandates

What an asshole.

Some of the reponses:

Last month I filed a sunshine request on your travel expenses for 2021. I was told it would arrive by today. It still hasn’t arrived yet. Do I need to file a lawsuit against the AG’s office?

That’s so funny. Why don’t you comply w the Sunshine Law that you’re being sued for?

“I know all the words that trip Republicans.”

The irony of this tweet is Eric, we might not have even noticed it or used it as a source because Editorial pieces are opinion most of the time. However, as the author laces in so many facts, it is fairly detrimental to you. I personally like the quote:

“Schmitt, like any other citizen, has the right to view those public records. But making a show out of demanding them, as if they’re some kind of smoking gun that he’s gallantly exposing, is almost as silly as his China lawsuit.”

What’s next? Shouting at the moon? Go on now!

Interesting timing.

Honestly you seem exhausting

Perhaps if you did actual work instead of nothing but pandering stunts for your campaign we’d believe you. However you have cried wolf and tilted at too many windmills for us to believe you any longer. Your credibility is so low you could only impress. (that’s an insult FYI).

Over 12,000 dead Missourians and you want still more of us to die. What a sick sociopath you are.

Don’t be like Eric.

We could all be embarrassed for him, but then, he deserves it

Brazenly stupid.

A Fish Called Wanda (1988)

[….] Wanda: I was dealing with something delicate, Otto. I’m setting up a guy who’s incredibly important to us, who’s going to tell me where the loot is and if they’re going to come and arrest you. And you come loping in like Rambo without a jockstrap and you dangle him out a fifth-floor window. Now, was that smart? Was it shrewd? Was it good tactics? Or was it stupid?

Otto West: Don’t call me stupid.

Wanda: Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I’ve known sheep that could outwit you. I’ve worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you’re an intellectual, don’t you, ape?

Otto West: Apes don’t read philosophy.

Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don’t understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not “Every man for himself.” And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up. [….]

No one elected anyone at OSHA. #NoVaccineMandates
3:19 PM · Nov 11, 2021

Some of the responses:

We wouldn’t need OSHA and other regulatory agencies if we had more good humans who worried about people more than their bottom line.

This is America in the 21st Century.

Hi, former construction worker here, OSHA is super important and this is a really bad take even for you.

Also, and others have pointed this out, aren’t you a lawyer? Haven’t you ever heard of administrative law?

No one elected members of SCOTUS either.
Think about that next time you lose a lawsuit. [….]

No one elected you to your first term as MO AG, if you really want to get into it.

I’m sure all the iron workers, brick layers, electricians, auto workers, and machinists who are given breaks, protective gear, and fire exits will join you in solidarity by not wearing safety goggles or harnesses when they work because I guess even basic safety is woke now?

No government agencies, yes we need more condos collapsing like the one in Florida. No oversight and let the workers get hurt and crushed. No problem!!
We don’t need safe working conditions!!!

Imagine having a law degree and not knowing that administrative law is a thing that exists.

No one elected anyone at ICE, the DEA, the FBI and most police departments, either.
Anarchists seemed so cool for about four hours when I was 16.
Now they’re just selfish freedom-grunting nihilists who can’t grasp citizenship or civilization.

Love this pro-building-collapse take, king

No one has been elected to OSHA in the 51 years since the OSHA Act was created, what is your point Eric? Oh that’s right, you are finding it difficult when folks work within the laws of nation to do what is best for the community and you can only b*tch about it. Have a seat.

Remember when you sued Pennsylvania in an attempt to stop millions of black votes from counting because you’re a fascist?

I’m just waiting for you cretins to decide to make child labor a thing again. Since ya know, you’re against unions, worker’s rights, and regulations.

Because conservatives would campaign in favor of less regulations and thus less safe workplaces and get huge contributions for billionaires who exploit workers. Idiot.

Was the Missouri State Highway Patrol elected? Just asking.

Trying to out dumbass Josh Hawley (r)…and succeeding

They said it couldn’t be done.

This evening:

Ted Cruz @tedcruz
Government propaganda…for your 5 year old!

Big Bird @BigBird
I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.

Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!

5:11 PM · Nov 6, 2021

You’re losing big time if you’re trying to take on a giant yellow bird via social media.

There is much hilarity in the responses:

This totally worked for Mitt Romney in 2012 so, please, keep going.

BigBird’s been getting vaccinated since 1972, but you’re just now squalling about it.
You might learn quicker if you had been watching regularly. [….]

He’s gonna be so upset when he learns that there’s a vampire who counts.

Cancun Cruz yells at 6 year old yellow bird…didn’t have that on my bingo card.

Big Bird has supported public health since the 1970’s, bird brain. [….]

Today’s tweet is brought you by the letters F and U. [….]

Big Bird didn’t fly down to Cancun during a blizzard, he stayed and helped his friends on Sesame Street

It must be hard to constantly find things to feign outrage over.

It’s not easy being Ted.

I don’t think 5 year olds have Twitter accounts, Ted.

Welp, you can’t tell us how to get to Sesame Street, but you sure you can tell us how to get to Cancun.

What’s Big Bird’s official position in the government?

Right, because everyone knows five-year-olds make their own decisions when it comes to inoculations.

Right now we are witnessing a sitting U.S. Senator getting mad at a fictional bird

Welcome to America.

Yep. Right up there with programs showing kids how to properly brush their teeth.

Heh.

Embarassing and backwards

Embarassing and backwards.

Jason Smith (r) [2021 file photo].

Yesterday:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Joe Biden wants to FIRE the very same working-class Americans who kept our country running during a pandemic because they REFUSE to give up their personal medical freedom and take a vaccine. What an absolutely EMBARASSING, BACKWARDS policy.
9:46 AM · Oct 30, 2021

Some of the responses:

Apparently, the conservative majority SCOTUS supports vaccine mandates.
[….]

Missouri is an at-will employment state, Jason. Why do you hate the free market at work?

They can get tested, that’s a choice.

Covid forever!

Are there a lot of these people that you and the other seditionists don’t want to raise the minimum wage for so that they can work hard and make life better for themselves and their families. These people?

Dude. Killing your base to own the libs is some crazy ass “thinking” but it’s so YOU. [….]

Your an embarrassing backwards politician. #gopdeathcult

Well, you’re, but we get the point.
