Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[March 19, 2026]

A civilization that lies about something as basic as the difference between men & women has already begun its death spiral.
The ruling class cheers on boys dominating girls’ competitions in the name of “progress.”
It’s not progress. It’s theft. It’s cruelty.
[….]

A solution in search of a problem. A useless distraction in service to bigotry.

Squirrel!

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

I’ll take non issues for $100, Alex.

those Repubs like to punch down on marginalized groups that make up 1% of society

The government needs to stay out of sports. This is a tiny population. These issues can be handled on a case by case basis. Same with trans kids, who are not getting surgery at school. Mind your own business. Illegal voting is also a non issue. Try to focus on something important.

We have more important things to work on. No SAVE ACT, no Gerrymandering Missouri maps and income tax or sales tax on everything.

Games don’t matter. I repeat. Games. Do. Not. Matter. They are structured playing. Enough with the genital checks and whatnot.

Get serious, dumbass ! The president just started a war he has no idea how to end and is attempting to rig the next election through voter suppression and you’re worried about this ? MAGAs a joke !

People are hungry and sick and homeless and have to choose between food and medicine, our country is at war, our infrastructure is crumbling, public services are failing, citizens are being taken off the street and from their homes without warrants or due process, our resources are being recklessly spent by corrupt government officials and so much more…. and yet THIS is where your energies are focused?? Really???

Squirrel!

Please stop, Senator Schmitt. We need politicians in DC who take care of real problems. Have you heard that we need help with healthcare costs? Or making housing and education affordable so young people can live better than the generation before (like it used to be)? Have you heard that men are creating deepfake nonconsensual sexual images of women and children at the rate of one per minute with AI and the government youre part of is doing nothing about it? Time to step up and help Missourians with issues we really face.

The ruling class? Again, you’re talking about the rich magats.

You actually stood up in the Senate and gave a speech about this? Wow!

Resign, Eric. You are a buffoon.

Look in the mirror and you will see the problem. You sir are a liar

How about a civilization that lies about an imminent threat in order to start an unnecessary WAR.

“War [good god!] Is Good [what is it good for?] For Absolutely Nothing [say it again!]”
Circa 2001-2005.
28 x 22, posterboard, permanent marker.

You and your maga boss are going to totally bankrupt this country. You have already spent over $15 billion on this war and the Pentagon wants $200 billion more. Meanwhile, people can’t afford to put groceries on their table or buy gas

Republicans are unable to tell the truth

Eric , what does this have to do with suppressing our vote and the Save Act? 70% of those polled after the 2024 vote are in favor of trans rights. Math may not be your forte, but that is a lot more than the remaining 30%. Start working with us instead of against us.

“Trans Rights = Human Rights”

He’s a trump brown nosing POS!

Educate yourself, on variances on genetics, hormones. sex organs, gender identity and then get a team of medical experts who have studied trans for decades to evaluate what is fair medically and psychologically. In the meantime focus on issues that effect MANY people, the more serious things such as democracy, the rule of law the right to vote, ICE injuring and killing people, budget decisions that leave people malnourished or unable to get health care, warmongering with US bombs that are killing people in various countries, women’s lives that are taken or ruined due to needing an abortion, girls that are raped, tortured, murdered with no consequence to the rich white pedophile men, only lawlessness that brings more of the same, an economy that is failing due to corporate price gouging, taking from the poor and giving tax money to the filthy rich, wasting money on nonsense wars, . NO MORE MONEY FOR WARS!

Eric, wouldn’t it be a lot easier to serve the people?

Good question.

I think you have a problem.

You are bitching and moaning about 0.002 percent of the population! Good god, just like illegal voting, which is about the same percentage, AND usually committted by republicans!
Go sell your shit disguised as a box of chocolates somewhere else.

Trump has destroyed honesty, decency, and integrity.

Another Republican enabler who is speaking up for the save act. What in God‘s name does a person‘s gender have to do with being able to vote. perhaps you could explain why we’re talking sports here. We’re talking voting. Gender issues do not need to be in the Bill. If he just wants a voter ID, I don’t think anybody would have a problem with that. But this is absolutely voter suppression and it includes things that aren’t even necessary or belong in a voting rights bill. When he’s bringing up biological men who have converted to women and are participating in women’s sports does he ever mention that we’re talking about a handful of people. they want to take up time on this issue and make it a major thing. They are talking about a few people perhaps a handful those few people that they are talking about could be handled on a local basis based on the sporting event and based on medical evaluations based on the organization in control of the sport. It doesn’t need to be blown up and made a major issue in voting. Let’s cut the crap and this guy needs to shut up and vote against this voter suppression instead of pushing it. It’s hogwash it’s garbage. We have better things to do like getting the Epstein files out. this is just a distraction and and total garbage.

Bruh…you are the ruling class…

We’re at war and this guy still wants to inspect high schoolers’ genitals – what a fucking degenerate

Another maga bigot

Dude, Trump has the economy in the toilet and the nation at war for no reason. Stop hyperfocusing on these social issues and try to actually do something useful for constituents.

Good grief. Give it a rest. We know, we know, you don’t like trans kids.

You must be refering to your Master Trumpstein. During his first term (2017–2021), fact-checkers at The Washington Post documented a total of 30,573 false or misleading claims made by Donald Trump. That’s not even including his second grift. C’mon Eric how do you sleep at night knowing you’re spewing lies, hate and division!

This man is apparently living in a different universe than the majority of Americans 1) Voter fraud is statistically negligible per Trumps own commissions findings on same. He won. Senator Eric Schmitt won. Senator Josh Hawley won. Are they trying to convince us they actually LOST? 2) Borders were never “open”. More deportations during previous administrations, and without the Trump-created drama and endangerment of citizens and non-citizens alike. 3) There are zero cases of sex change surgeries and/or chemical treatments being administered by public school officials. It’s a distraction. 4) Federal government has no business regulating sports. That belongs solely to the teams and their administrators and financial sponsors. Again, another distraction. Vote NO on this Scheme by Trump to keep control after the midterms.

HB 2075: Who checks?

54th Legislative District, bathrooms, bigot, Bigotry, bigots, Brandon Phelps, General Assembly, HB 2075, right wingnuts, transphobia

Everybody has to pee.

So, is somebody going to stand at the restroom door and have you pull down your pants before you can enter? Just asking.

Brandon Phelps (r) [2025 file photo].

HB 2075
Establishes provisions for restroom designations in all public buildings
Sponsor: Phelps, Brandon (054)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2026
LR Number: 4434H.01I
Last Action: 03/02/2026 – Public Hearing Completed (H)
Bill String: HB 2075
[….]

The bill summary:

HB 2075 — SINGLE-SEX ACCESS TO CERTAIN FACILITIES
SPONSOR: Phelps

The bill defines “biological sex” as the biological indication of male or female in the context of reproductive potential or capacity, whereas “gender” is defined as the psychological, behavioral, social, and cultural aspects of being male or female. The bill also defines the terms “school”, “institution of higher education”, “single-occupancy facility”, “multi-occupancy facility”, “family facility”, and “public building”.

This bill requires multi-occupancy restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms found in public buildings, schools, and institutions of higher education to be designated with clear signage for the exclusive use of person of the male biological sex or female biological sex. A member of the male
biological sex will not be permitted to use a multi-occupancy facility that has been designated for the exclusive use of persons of the female biological sex, and a member of the female biological sex will not be permitted to use a multi-occupancy facility that has been designated for the exclusive use of persons of the male biological sex.

The bill specifies that a multi-occupancy facility must not be designated for use by persons of a particular gender or genders instead of, or in addition to, persons of a particular biological sex. However, this provision does not prohibit family facilities. Schools are prohibited from allowing members of the male biological sex and the female biological sex from sharing overnight accommodations in any setting where students are staying overnight, including school trips.

This bill requires policies adopted in accordance with these provisions to include accommodations for persons who request them, to include the use of single-occupancy facilities.

[….]

Failure to comply with the provisions of this bill will result in the revocation or withholding of state funding for the entity operating a public building, school, or institution of higher education.

[….]

Some of the submitted testimony:

I strongly support the initiative. We need to make sure that the deviants who want to intrude into opposite-sex restrooms are held accountable.

“Cross your legs and hold it” as a cultural norm…

Missouri is a common sense state that understands that men should not be in women’s restrooms and that women should not be in men’s restrooms. We must take action to end the support for certain individuals delusions that jeopardize not only the public conscience, but especially the physical and emotional safety of normal women across the state. I have personally seen people made uncomfortable by the intrusion of their private spaces by members of the opposite sex, and this is totally unnecessary. There is no reason for this legislature, which is dominated by Republicans, to betray their constituents by allowing this bill to die. Thank you.

Quit treating these people like objects and not humans. There have been Family bathrooms in lots of buildings including airports and trains stations. All go in them. It wasn’t a problem until MAGA decided it was. Why don’t you focus on the fact families and Seniors can’t afford to feed their families or themselves. Housing is too expensive. Health care gets rougher every day. Leave all the people you racists hate alone. We are a country of immigrants and you are the ones who make it seem bad. Why?? ? Get all felons out of this country including those holding Public office.

“Trans Liberation Now”

The Missouri Catholic Conference supports HB 2075, as it would ensure that fundamental safety and privacy standards for both men and women are guaranteed in certain spaces that, because of their nature, should not be shared with persons of the opposite sex. Designating those spaces as sex separated would protect the God-given dignity of both males and females, provide clarity, uphold justice and the common good, and ensure that our laws comport with a proper understanding of human nature. The Missouri Catholic Conference urges the committee to vote “DO PASS” on HB 2075.

Dayam. We have unisex restrooms in our house.

Every single human being should have the freedom to use the restroom without being harassed. As long as they’re neat and wash their hands, it shouldn’t matter what bathrooms Transgender people use. Stop trying to regulate people’s bodily functions or to be the genital police.

I support this bill because As a society, we should NOT cater to the transgender crowd. They are lost individuals in society and tremendously need the Love of Christ in their life and read what the Bible says. Especially in our schools. Our youth in particular, are so persuasive and this kind of behavior should not be tolerated in our schools. A boy is a boy from birth that becomes a man for the rest of his life and a girl is a girl from birth that becomes a woman for the rest of her life!

Probably not attributable to Gandhi. But you get the point

Once again, Missouri politicians have no business telling grown adults in higher education which bathroom they can use. Education and college should be for everyone willing to do the course work. These practices of discrimination are clearly an attempt to erase transgender people from Missouri and make it harder for them to get decent jobs. [….]

Missouri families are under real financial pressure. Healthcare costs keep rising, grocery bills are stretching household budgets, and tens of thousands of Missourians still do not have reliable access to primary care. At a time when these challenges should be the focus of this legislature, HB 2075 directs state attention toward regulating restroom designations in public buildings. This bill addresses no documented crisis, creates new compliance costs for schools, libraries, municipal offices, and small businesses, and risks years of expensive litigation for the state.

Missouri lawmakers should be focused on lowering prescription drug costs, protecting Medicaid coverage for working families, and expanding healthcare access across the 114 counties facing provider shortages. HB 2075 moves us away from those priorities and spends taxpayer resources on an issue that does nothing to improve the daily lives of Missouri families. For these reasons, I urge the committee to oppose HB 2075 and focus instead on legislation that addresses the economic and healthcare challenges Missourians face every day.

i’m a middle-aged white guy and i think our government needs to start treating trans people with respect and equal rights. way overdue!! the reason they are treated so poorly in america has everything to do with how shady our government is and nothing to do with them and their existence or how they live their lives. they are no threat to men, women, or children – and they don’t deserve to live in fear.

I believe we share values to protect people against harm. I don’t want people attacked or harassed in bathrooms.

However, I believe that this bill will do more to expose people to harm than to protect people from it. Crime statistics do not support a high rate of violence by transgender women against cisgender women (i.e., the sort that seems feared by continuing to allow transgender women to use the women’s bathroom).

In contrast, there is very strong evidence for violence by cisgender men against transgender women (i.e., the sort that we could expect by forcing transgender women into men’s bathrooms). People that are transgender are 4 times as likely to be victims of violent crime, and cisgender men are by far the most common perpetrator against transgender women.

Many people that are transgender “pass” in public as their identified gender, and this helps avoid that exposure to violence. By forcing people that are transgender to use their “biological sex” bathroom, we are also forcing them “out” to coworkers and strangers every time that they have to use the facilities, thus exposing them to more potential for violence.

We all have to pee.

Discrimination pure and simple.

This is a ridiculous overreach of government that puts trans people at risk and ostracizes them needlessly.

The argument that it will keep men out of the ladies’ room is 110% incorrect because it will force trans men into using restrooms that they wouldn’t choose for themselves. It will actually make it more common for male-presenting folks to walk into the women’s restroom, thereby making it easier for predatory cis-men to enter and assault women and children.

This bill does nothing but hurt a small group of people living in the state of Missouri. If it were really about protecting the children, there’d be free school lunches, mandatory vaccines, and let trans people live their lives. There is no good reason to target trans people, and that’s all this is.

This bill removes local control and does more harm than good. People already know which bathroom works for them.

It all ends up in the same place, too.

Trans people, statistically and historically, are one of the safest groups to be around, especially when it comes to safety of women. Women are more likely to be assaulted in a church than in a bathroom with a Trans person. I am highly bothered by my state using resources to submit three bills on a non-issue than working towards anything that actually impacts Missourians such has housing affordability or rural development. Or even measures to help with drugs.

Abhorrent bigotry. Please stop it. As a Missouri resident I am embarrassed this is even being considered.

As a cisgender woman, I know – as does the general public – that there is no danger or risk for anyone EXCEPT for transgender, gender expansive and intersex people when states implement bathroom bans.

You are not protecting women. You are not protecting children. You are simply pushing the already most marginalized and publicly persecuted group of American human beings further and further into the shadows.

What are you doing to stop cisgender from from raping children and women and transgender people? Focus on actual issues instead of being puppets for the administration. Have some humanity. People need to use restrooms – you don’t just detransition overnight you’re leaving them in an impossible situation.

Finally, you put extra people at risk. There are plenty of cisgender people walking around who often get mistaken for the opposite gender. These are simply men with feminine features or vice versa. By implementing divisive bans, you put a much larger population at risk.

As a woman in a relationship with another masculine-presenting woman, this bill puts my CISGENDER partner in extreme risk. She already has to deal with regular harassment from the public, there is no need for a useless law to make this even worse. I have so many amazing trans friends too. If they can’t safely use public facilities because they will get harassed by going to the facility for their assigned at birth gender, they would no longer be able to do their jobs, travel safely, enjoy public events, and so much more.

You also alienate people from other states who will now place a travel ban on Missouri.

No one should police others’ bodies. And our government has no business policing my body or anyone else’s. If I’m a short haired flat chested woman will I be questioned on my bathroom choice? Who gets to decide who looks feminine enough?

Trans people have been using public bathrooms for decades without incident. Most people have probably shared a public restroom with a trans person at some point and never realized it. There is no evidence that allowing trans women to use women’s bathrooms leads to assaults or safety risks.

A little research shows Transgender and gender-nonconforming people face high rates of harassment and violence in public restrooms. According to the Williams Institute (2013), 70% of trans people surveyed had been denied access, harassed, or assaulted in a restroom.

Data from Transequality.org shows that 68% of transgender people have been verbally harassed and 9% physically assaulted while using a public restroom. Eight percent have developed kidney or urinary tract infections from avoiding restrooms due to fear.

It’s not just trans women. Many cisgender women who don’t conform to gender norms—such as women with short hair, muscular builds, or masculine clothing—report being questioned or harassed in women’s restrooms.

Stop this nonsense.

These bills are an absolute waste of taxpayer money, and are harmful to our most vulnerable population.

I’m sorry I can’t put this more eloquently, but what are we doing here? Your president is starting wars and making life less safe and more expensive for the average Missourian, yet you’re spending your time and energy continuing to attack a marginalized minority? This is done under the guise of protecting women and girls, yet I am not seeing any investigations or consequences on the files detailing actual sexual abuse and human trafficking of underage girls by your president’s best friend, cabinet members, and seemingly the man himself. As a mother of an 11 year old girl, I would much rather her be around a trans or non-binary person and would trust her alone with them much more than I would anyone in charge right now. This is a blatant corruption of power and I am sick of my taxpayer dollars being wasted on this nonsense.

Stop being a bigot. Trans people just want to pee. This does nothing to protect women and anything that would help women, you would vote against. History will judge you harshly for your cruel attacks on transgender Americans, an already vulnerable group.

To those who are not directly affected by these decisions, I ask you to pause and really think. Just because something does not impact you or your family personally does not mean it doesn’t impact real people. Human beings. People who deserve to live freely and safely in the state they call home.

No one should have to worry that decisions made by people who don’t understand their lives, their needs, or their realities could put their safety at risk. Policies are not abstract. They affect bodies, dignity, mental health, and in some cases, lives.

Please choose empathy. Please choose humanity. Please think about the weight of the decisions being made and the real consequences they carry. These are people who simply want to live in peace and be left alone.

Be the bridge where division has been created. We all deserve a safe space to exist.

Bathroom bills legislate a promblem that isn’t a real problem. This is a waste of resources and time. Policing of bathrooms does not protect anyone. It only endangers those who look different. I, a cis woman, do not feel safer with legislation like this being put forth. It weaponizes a person appearance and emboldens those with those with prejudice against those who may not fit certain beauty standards as well as makes it impossible for those who have transitioned to use the bathroom. I don’t want some MAGA weirdo policing me or my young neice asking what’s in her pants because her hair is too short or is a little taller than most, or her voice is a little deeper than others, or she power lifts, etc. Y’all are trying to make trans peoples lives so hard legislating against such a small group of people who just want to live their lives. Trans people should be able to use the bathroom without the fear of some
weirdo or person on a power trip policing them. I wish you had this same energy for Trump and those friends of the Epstein class whom actually hurt women and girls. Let trans people live!

I am a straight cis woman who is 6 foot tall, wide shoulders, I don’t wear makeup often, I don’t dress up, my general choice will always be jeans, t shirt, and tennis shoes.

Recently the obsession with genitals has escalated rapidly, our representatives are pushing bill after bill to target marginalized and already endangered humans who are just trying to go about their lives in peace.

Up until last year I had no fear of men in women’s restrooms, that was before a woman assumed I was a trans woman, went out and told her partner, and suddenly I hear heavy footsteps, someone bangs loudly on the stall walls and started screaming, “faggot!! Get out here and face me!” Along with other
slurs and threats. I didn’t know he was meaning me until I exited the stall, afraid of what was going on. He was red faced and seething, probably 6ft 3in tall, big guy. I told him in a shaky voice I was a womanand he needed to leave. He did. But only because an employee had gone to get a manager.

I was afraid.

I have never been afraid in a public bathroom of a trans woman. Not once. I have multiple trans friends and I would trust all of them far more than anyone who thinks they have a right to say what a woman is and is not based on characteristics alone.

Gender is a spectrum. Humans are a spectrum. It’s what makes us so unique and important – our differences make us stronger.

No woman deserves to be scared because she “isn’t feminine enough” or “dainty enough”. We have real issues in Missouri.

Education.
Healthcare.
Housing.
Etc.

This is a waste of time and it’s stupid.

[….]

I moved to this state because it was safer for me to be trans here than in southern Illinois. The people here were more accepting. If this passes I will have to leave for my own safety. And take my tax money with me. Do you want to see me with a full beard in the women’s restroom? Or do you just want to see me piss myself?

“Pull down your pants!” is certainly a different right wingnut take on “Your papers, please.”

Who’s going to check, Mark (r)? You?

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 13, 2026]

🚨THE MEDIA WON’T SHOW YOU THIS — but we will.
Outside SCOTUS today, we spoke with Democrats who agree: men do NOT belong in women’s sports or locker rooms. Their voices are being SILENCED by the radical left.
👉 Take this as your sign to PROTECT WOMEN’S SPORTS.
[….]

Asshole.

Some of the responses:

As a policy matter, that is another reason why the government shouldn’t be regulating this stuff, and we should leave it to medical professionals and sports leagues themselves to make the rules about what treatment should be allowed and which people should be allowed to play in which leagues.

Don’t you have a budget to work on?

Children’s Mercy Hospital in KC did a study for the Air Force that shows there is very little difference in women and trans women after they have completed hormone therapy.

facts are like kryptonite to republicans.

All 10 of them nationwide?

This is of primary importance right now?
It’s like worrying about dust on your knickknacks while the house is burning down.

Focusing on the important stuff, ehh? lol

This isn’t the flex you think it is. Why don’t you focus on something besides hate and bigotry.

The 10’s of lives that will be impacted…

The thing is… THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER ISSUES

Most of us are worried about healthcare and affordability, not those 12 guys you’re making a big deal about.

This week I’m much more concerned about women not being shot in the face after dropping their child at school. We’re okay in locker rooms, thanks!

It is crazy that this is even an issue! No.

This issue affects a few hundred people nationwide. Way to stay laser focused on the pressing issues that NOBODY FUCKING CARES ABOUT except you and your low IQ bigoted asshole constituents.

How many men in total are playing in women’s sports? Niche culture war crap is how you stay in office I suppose.

This is some low hanging fruit BS to get dipshits riled up. Instead of getting mad about stupid identity politics, they should get pissed off at how the rich are getting richer off our backs as well as the contempt for the people this government has for us!

This is what y’all are worried about while the federal government is starting new wars, tearing apart the world order, and gunning down American citizens…
Unbelievable

We have bigger problems idiot

I wish you would concentrate more on improving the economy and affordable healthcare rather than somebody that had a penis but doesn’t anymore. If you think a guy has his penis cut off to play sports as a different gender, you’re focusing on the wrong things. Just stop thinking about guys that once had penises.

This is what you’re focusing on? When people cannot afford rent with a $15 an hour job? Disgusting.

I don’t think anyone thinks that, Democrats included. You and your buddies just like to repeat it over and over to create more divisiveness. Work on healthcare and the budget.

Why are my groceries so expensive? I don’t care about your transphobia.

Congressman Mark Alford no one is going to the extreme of taking hormones, hormone blockers, or having surgeries so they can play on a sports team. And when are you going to realize sports are there for fun. They aren’t that important. Using that fringe issue to enforce your bigoted agenda is just wrong. Oh, and genetically use have XX, XY, XXY, XXX, X. And that is before you get to hormone differences that lead to Individuals expressing the opposite gender of their genes.

Culture war crap. I think there are bigger issues like healthcare?, economics, executive over reach. Sad this is what people think are important

Of ALL the things going on, this is your worry? The man in the WH called himself the president of Venezuela this week 🤦🏼‍♀️

Stop trying to look in girls’ pants, pervert [….]

Should Gestapo be terrorizing people?

How bout you get back to work and stop worrying about the 16 trans teens that want to be in sports. How bout all the ICE vehicles by World of Fun. How bout you worry about something relevant and stop trying to manufacture division.

Yeah but trans women aren’t men sooooo… why you dyin on this hill, bro? You gonna investigate the junk of every bathroom user in your constituency?

Apparently.

Our homes have non-gender bathrooms

Interestingly, so does ours.

In what way does this effect your life? Don’t we have more important problems to worry about? Go do some more bootlicking Mark. People can’t afford food or health insurance and this is the type of crap MAGA is worried about. What an absolute shame.

Could you PLEASE do something useful? This obsession is sick.

Why do you care about games?.. Literal games? I don’t concern myself with anyone’s genitals. That’s weird.

Of all the urgent issues this country is facing, THIS is what you are focusing your attention on???

BIG TENT IDEAS

REP. MARK ALFORD: Time To Counter Escalating Radical Islam Menace In America

‘After an era of open borders and the left’s continued efforts to stifle reasonable debate about the effects of third world immigration, America grapples with the corrosive advance of radical Islam.’

CONGRESSMAN
MARK ALFORD

Bigot.

Every right wingnut accusation is a confession.

Some of the responses:

Mark, you are falling deeper into the trap of the national christian movement.

He’s always been there.

I thought big tents had room for all kinds? Which one of us is confused? 🤔

We have a big tent for those that want to assimilate to American culture. Goat humpers need not apply.

They’re so open about it these days.

Just curious, what border do we share with an Islamic country?

trump invites them to the white house and they give him expensive gifts, money or business deals that benefit the orange man or the organization

Christians accept secularism. Islam does not.

Oh my.

==========

So how are we vetting Qatari airmen coming here to train?

By the amount they can afford to pay Trump.

==========

Look out everyone it’s the boogeyman!

Let’s talk about the Christian nationalist version of Sharia law

Actually, this islamaphobic rant and fear mongering IS A TOOL of Xian Nationalism. (Not calling them “Christian” because Jesus would say “I never knew you.”)

Been thinking the samething for awhile. Christian National are ok with religious control as long as they are their laws.

==========

Where in your district do you perceive this threat?

in the far reaches of what used to be Mark’s brain.

==========

Instead of uniting, this guy is taking our money just to divide us. Unity is our strength!! Make America UNITE again

What about the radical fascism in America right now?

I think the actual problem is the corrosive advance of radical christian nationalism.

Time to counter xenophobia in America.

We getting after that radical Christian movement too? Lol

First they came for….

“…Not this time…”

So anyone thats not far right wing and white is fair game

We are not scared. We see you.

Yeah? Where?

Accepting others is an American value. You guys talked the same way about my Irish ancestors when they came over.

Xenophobic much?

First deal with the ongoing violent threat from radical-right Christian nationalists.

I suppose Christian Extremism is better somehow.

The Daily Caller? That’s like referencing the National Enquirer!

An insult directed at the National Enquirer.

Do you happen to have crime stats for folks who say they’re Christians?

By “securing” don’t you really mean “only white people” in America?

The Daily Caller???? LOL!!!!

Another divisive message from a radical politician.

Mark look at the comments.
Think deeply about your dignity and integrity.
These things you’re allowing will be held against you.

Missouri’s 4th district drama queen has spoken

Why don’t we deal with all religious fundamentalists. For starters let’s tax all the churches!

Ohhhh a religious war. Those are always successful

And when the fk have Republicans ever wanted “reasonable debate”?

There’s that.

Far more worried about the rise of white Christian nationalism and fascism, which has taken hold in the highest echelons of government.

Can we do something about the radical Christians trying to take over our country?

The radical “Christians” are a bigger problem. Do something about them.

I’m more concerned about radical christianity. They’re the ones running roughshod over our civil liberties in this country.

Do you ever listen to or learn anything outside the MAGA echo chamber?

Make America Hate Again!

More fear propaganda.

Isn’t there enough hate here?

Too much.

The Daily Caller? You want us to take this post seriously?
Hilarious!

Rep Mark Alford – please give one example of this “menace” here in district 4. We’ll wait.

The only religious threat this country faces, comes from Christianity.

Every fascist needs a scapegoat.

Radical White Supremacy? Radical Brown Shirt “policing”? Radical Klan cults? These are imminent threats. What are you doing about mitigating these threats?

If a government built around religious fanaticism is wrong (and it is), why are you all embracing Christian Nationalism?

The Constitution guarantees the right of freedom of religion. Your racism won’t change that.

Want to know what happens to you when you side with evil against God? Watch all of the people who turned away from God and towards trump. Watch what now becomes of their lives. It has begun, it’s in motion. Some of you can feel it in your soul. These are judgement times. Right now would be a good time to reflect on where you stand in this life.
Embracing trump = Turning away from God.

So the economic numbers coming out this week must be pretty bad if the GOP has to make Muslims the “boogeymen”.
Anything to distract us from the corruption and coverup of Trump’s mental status.

Congressman Mark Alford
Stop the hateful rhetoric!
STOP IT!

Maybe Congressman Alford could tell us what a “Third World Country” is. Talk about going back in time. Republicans like you are corroding our government and lying everyday. Trump is the one inviting them into the White House. What a bunch of hypocrites. You better worry about the Christian Nationalists first. They are in the room with you.

lol… we are grappling with religion being the government… thanks to you right wing, fake christian fucking assholes. That, you douche bag, is the problem we have. Personally, I have NEVER had an issue with any reasonable person because of their faith, color or creed… that’s because I am NOT an asshole

You’re scared of a girl.
[….]

They don’t belong in our country and they sure shouldn’t be holding office. It’s time to reenact the law which was overturned in the 90s that they cannot hold political office.

Time to show your racist self

Radical Maga is a far bigger danger to the USA than Islam is. I wonder who Maga will be telling its cult members to hate next month?

And you are a hateful delusional bigot !!!

The vast majority of comments on here are unbelievable. People who want to sit on their butts and wave their precious signs ( In this house we believe…, Immigrants welcome here, etc) feeling self-righteous and pleased with themselves. Has your house been broken into? Yet? Has your daughter been raped yet? Has your 8 year old been hit by a guy in a car or truck who can’t read street signs in English? Yet? It has happened to Americans and could happen to you! Has your tax money been scammed by foreigners yet? Probably yes. Has your state’s Medicare/ Medicaid money been used by immigrants who were given EVERYTHING when they were invited into our country by the OBiden administration? Probably Yes. Why aren’t you outraged and angry as @&$%# ? Instead you nit pick on Christians and Conservatives because they happen to want to preserve our country and our culture. It’s terribly sick and sad that you just don’t care about your future, your children’s future or your country’s future. People who hate us and don’t appreciate our country and culture AND don’t wish to assimilate can go home and the faster the better.

This is why we can’t have nice things…

Radical Right Wing Christians meanwhile…can serve up Racism at will

You should worry more about nazis that have taken over the Republican party

Good lord, you’re stupid.

Fake weather boy Allfraud. There is nothing that is notable about you. There’s nothing that is significant. There’s nothing that makes you stand out. Everything that you say or do is from a script that you read. Has been tried before, and it resulted in the event rebuttal from those who believe in the rights and freedoms of others. Whether it be the illegal internment of Japanese Americans, the cruel enslavement of African-Americans, the indentured servitude of Chinese Americans, or the cruelty being displayed now. Our nation has always had tyrants and those willing to go along with them. So, fake weather boy, all fraud your time will too eventually end

You should be ashamed mark! You arn’t following Gods work! You are everything God teaches us to fight against!! Hate for our neighbor!!

Oops, your racism is showing.

All of you MAGAts seem to thrive on fear, anger, and hatred. Ya’ll might want to get some counseling.

asshat

Muslims make up only 1% of the US population. If that scares you you’re pretty fragile to begin with.

Let’s start in securing America from bigots like you

Reads like Nazi propaganda

What happened to you? Were you always this angry little man? I remember when you started in Kansas City as an anchor. You had this goofy sense of humor. But under that fake tan you had this simmering racism and resentment for women and people around you? How did you develop such a love for misinformation? You were a journalist of sorts. More of a goofball talking head, but still. It’s really shocking to see this ugliness. Sad, really.

It’s so sad how racists this country is becoming!

So this idiot doesn’t believe in the Constitution? Freedom of religion asshole.

Alford is just another trump tool, kissing the ring and hoping/begging for his recognition. Pathetic.

Alford is just an idiot spewing propaganda.

Hitler said that about the Jews

We noticed that.

Sweet baby jeebus you are an idiot, and an embarrassment to our nation.

And you just proved you are a bigot. Smart.

You either are stupid or you think your constituents are

It’s both.

You guys are literally fascists and I am supposed to be scared of my neighbors because they dress differently and have a different religion?

You are such a fucking idiot.

It’s fascinating how Marky can’t find his voice or guts to speak out when Trump is hosting a radical who had an American journalist cut into pieces while he was still alive. Trump kissed MBS’ butt and yelled at an American woman for daring to mention the murder, all while accepting billions of dollars in crypto scams from people who helped Hamas, giving nations with ties to terrorism access to advanced AI chips, and making deals for his crappy resorts in the Middle East. I can’t imagine how Mark sleeps at night, pushing this crap of pointing fingers about enabling religious radicalism while turning a blind eye to what the administration is doing to weaken our security on behalf of nations to whom he is beholden, not to mention enabling the unChristianity and danger of the Christian nationalist movement within our own nation and our own government. It’d be a heck of a thing to still have more than a handful of GOP politicians willing to speak truth to power. Enjoy whatever financial gains you’ve made off of selling out your constituents. You’re earning your place in history as a cowardly enabler of the first order. It’d be funny if it weren’t such an utter dereliction of duty. You’ve managed to make MTG look like a moral and intellectual giant, by comparison. 🙄

So is remembering your oath…but seem to have shit all over that. Stop gaslighting you ass h a t.

What a load of racist BS. Where is your concern about radicalized MAGA?

MAGATS, always jousting at windmills. Someone explain this literary reference to them, since they don’t read.

The most radical religious group in America is the Christian Nationalist Movement. People like yourself.

Didn’t you just post something about stopping religious discrimination? I guess you only mean certain religions huh? You got any examples of the “corrosive advance of radical Islam?” I bet I got plenty more more of examples of the corrosive advance of white nationalism!

Funny, but the main terrorists I see these days are armed, wearing masks, assaulting citizens while claiming theyre sent by Noem the dogkiller.

Quit promoting Islamophobia. It’s not any better than antisemitism.

You are painting all followers of the Islamic faith with one brush. You imply that all are terrorists and that Islam is radical.
That’s like saying all Christians are radical Christian Nationalists instead of Christians who actually follow Christ.
Because only a radical Christian Nationalist would put up a post like this one.

Are the radical Muslims in the room with you right now? Are they feeding you Baklava?

Congressman Mark Alford You are beyond being a FU***ng Moron.
You would know this if you had “true” Town Hall meetings, instead of pandering to your rich supporters…

Zohran “little muhammad” Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.

4th Congressional District, bigot, former newsreader, HR 28, Mark Alford, right wingnut, social media, that ridiculous hat, transphobe

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Just asking.

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 14, 2025]
Fact: Men have no business competing in women’s sports.
[….]

Some of the responses:

You don’t give a shit about women sports. If you did, you’d make sure that girls have equal access to facilities and funding. You’re just transphobic.

And Trump supporters have no business being in Congress.

You want underage girls to have their genitals inspected so that 3 trans women who are over age 18(?) can participate in sports?

I just donated to an abortion clinic in your name.

Protect our children in classrooms from mass shootings. Not one woman in sports has ever been gunned down by any transgender in sports but hundreds of children have died in their classrooms and Congress does absolutely nothing.

the ignorant people have spoken. Congratulations you now have a convicted felon sexual assaulter and con man as President of the United States

Fact – there are much bigger issues that your constituents are concerned with rather than yet another non-issue. I really wish we’d hear about how you’re going to deal with the things that actually affect the majority of us in our daily lives rather than these random side bars.

Mark Alford – [….] And we are working on those as well. We can tackle many subjects and duties at one time here. But thanks for your advice.

Respectfully, I rarely see you bring those things up –
Only the divisive or really outlier ones – fake meat advertising – less than .001% of the population in sports (why does the govt regulate sports anyway?)
I mean – there are some actual REAL issues out here that I have yet to hear you address – but see this kind of stuff all the time.

Mark Alford – [….] you aren’t paying attention then
We talk about many subjects
This is the vote we are taking today
So this is what we’re talking about today
Tomorrow it will be a different topic

There you have it – respectful constituent services, folks.

Your team has definitely seen me on your page over the years, so yes – I am paying attention.
I see lots of random things brought up or identifying problems – I haven’t seen you do much to bring any real solutions that are viable.

Then why don’t you be more specific about those subjects and duties? Like the high cost of food and housing which effects more Missourians?

We do pay attention, although you hope we don’t.

There’s that.

It’s comical that you think that this a representing the district. You do not speak on anything unless you have a party driven agenda.

how many people do you personally know that are impacted by trans high school or college athletes?
How many people do you know who are personally impacted by the high price of groceries?
That’s what you voted for. A party that does not care about real people.

You have no business in Congress.

How does this affect the price of gas or eggs? Deflection

A problem that affects like 10 people. More kids are shot in classrooms every year. What’cha doing about that?

Nothing. This has been another episode of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Fact: You openly discriminate.

College dropout says what??? #useless

Mark Alford, you are a disgrace. I’m appalled by your priorities.

When are the grocery prices going to go down? Trump said it would “be easy, and happen very quickly” So, what’s the plan?
[….]

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 14, 2025]
Today is the day that progressive Democrats have the chance to stand up for the women they claim to support.
I am proudly voting YES for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act on the House floor this afternoon.

Some of the responses:

Holy crap – you’re talking about – what? 6 kids in the whole state?? Just let ’em play sports, ffs.

Sports are not fair. Period.
What’s next? Bills to prevent rich kids from getting personal trainers, playing club level when high school season is over, etc?
Our own Children’s Mercy Hospital in KCMO did a study for the Air Force on trans women physical superiority after taking hormones and found little difference between a trans woman and a biological woman.

Meanwhile, women are dying left and right because of GOP policies on abortion.
You really dont’ care about women do you?

Mark Alford wants underage girls to have to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports.
How sick is that.

Mark votes to discriminate instead of finding a real solution.

Priorities.

If you vote for Donald Trump (r) you deserve him

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

Today:

Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum
Trump volunteered to pay for the funeral of a murdered U.S. soldier. When the bill came, Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!”

In another universe, this would be roundly condemned by politicians on all sides, while the media would give it nonstop press as an example of someone’s manifest unfitness for office. It would be a career-ending scandal.

Not this one, though.

Rick Brattin (r) and his franked list of personal phobias

31st Senate District, bigot, franking, General Assembly, mailing, missouri, Rick Brattin, right wingnut

Rep. Rick Brattin (r) [2018 file photo – Jerry Schmidt].

We received a mailing piece promoting Rick Brattin’s (r) special brand of bigotry, apparently a franking piece paid for by our tax dollars.

The badly shopped photo seems to indicate that the Missouri Senate chamber has cheap, kid side desks (it makes sense when you think about it), or Rick Brattin likes to spend his time sternly lecturing Missouri school children when they’re not present in their empty classrooms.

And, of course, the piece lists Rick Brattin’s (r) phobias and legislative priorities.

Fought to ban drag shows from being attended by children

Rick, if you don’t want your kids to watch a drag show, throw your television in the trash.

Passed legislation banning pornographic material from school libraries.

Smart move there, promoting book banning. Rick, if you don’t want your kids to read books just home school them under your supervision.

Passed legislation to prohibit gender reassignment surgery and puberty blockers for children.

Sigh. Rick, just leave these kids and their families alone.

There’s a republican primary:

State Senator – District 31

Name Mailing Address Random Number Date Filed

Rick Brattin P. O. BOX 421 HARRISONVILLE MO 64701 45 2/27/2024

7th Congressional District, bigot, Eric Burlison, LGBTQIA+, missouri, pearl clutching, social media

Just asking.

This afternoon from Eric Burlison (r):

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
Having a “family-friendly activity,” drag shows, and a performance by “Crystal Methyd” all on the same stage & in the same afternoon is wrong. Kids shouldn’t be seeing this stuff!

The City of Springfield and Greene County Health should be ashamed to sponsor this event.
1:15 PM · Jun 10, 2023

Give it a rest, you pearl-clutching busybody.

Rhonda Santis works as a drag queen name in Florida, Crystal Methyd works for Missouri. You go with what you’re famous for.

“…all on the same stage & in the same afternoon…” Why, next they’ll be mixing cotton and polyester fibers in their clothing. The nerve.

Different shows for different crowds? Do tell.

Some of the responses:

Take your kids to Hooters, instead.

I bet you watched the Munsters as a Kid. So maybe you should take a seat.
[….]

Apparently the Munsters mixed fibers, too.

We have one in Kansas City today too. Come on by, homophobe. Cleanse yourself.

We had a Pride Festival in Warrensburg on June 3rd. I had a beer from the bar after standing out in the heat covering and photographing the bigots with signs across the street.

The City of Springfield and Greene county as a whole should be ashamed to have such an ignorant bigot representing them.

baseball, bigot, cult of the victim, fly, hair helmet, Karen, LGBTQIA+, Mike Pence, pearl clutching, right wingut, self righteous

Last week from Mike Pence (r):

Mike Pence @Mike_Pence
Baseball once stood for American greatness, but when it openly invites attacks on Christian faith, sexualizes children with graphic public displays, and undermines the family-friendly environment that baseball has long stood for, it is clear that those days are fading fast.

Read my Full Statement and Open Letter to Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers [….]
1:03 PM · Jun 2, 2023

Self-righteous bigot.

Some of the responses:

Can y’all boycott baseball so I can get my game tickets cheaper?

Oh, please stop.

Quit drunk tweeting from Hooters, Michael

What a pathetic attempt to get attention. Keep radical, right wing, pseudo-religion out of sports.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

“Not now honey, I need to read Mike Pence’s open letter to the Dodgers”

You guys sure do hate America

It’s a baseball game not a revival. How horrible an organization recognizes pride month or other cultures during the season. Work on polling over 2%.

Wait till you see what apple pie is doing.

Baseball is still great Mike, you jamming the evangelical right into everything, is not ok.
Don’t push your beliefs onto others.
You want to be the victim.

Don’t you have bigger things to worry about?

How is your imaginary issue different than your attacks on LGBTQ people? Why are you so nosy, bossy, and determined to force your religious beliefs on Americans that have different religious beliefs?

That seems awfully arrogant on your part, to think you know everything.

“hey, is this stool taken?” said the fly in a high squeaky voice as it came in for a landing.
[….]

Remember when a mob of “faithful Christians” tried to hang you? I don’t remember any drag queens being part of that.

Stop shoving your religious beliefs down our throats.

And read the constitution.

Our country was literally FOUNDED on the separation of church and state.

You should know this and if you don’t – you’re even more unqualified for elected office then we already believe.

Used to be “christians” followed the loving word of their god. Now “christians” spew hateful & violent rhetoric in the name of their god.
THIS is why millions run away & turn their backs on “christianity,” “religion,” and “church.”
There’s no hate quite like christian love.

American greatness is the striving for embracing others, respecting others, accepting others, human rights and love. Unfortunately, Mike, your version of Christianity is flawed by fear and a dark infatuation with deviant behavior that you project on others. #NeverBePresident

That’s what you care about? Manufactured outrage on inconsequential issues that MAGA pushes into the fore?

That’s really sad, man. Really, really sad.

“when it openly invites attacks on Christian faith,”

“sexualizes children with graphic public displays”

“undermines the family-friendly environment that baseball has long stood for”

None of that ever happened

Please tell me Christianity’s position on bearing false witness.

When it comes to suffering, those early Christian martyrs had nothing on you.

You’ll never be president, Mr. Karen.

None of that is happening.

I swear republicans live on a different planet.

Same planet, different world.

So conservatives are waging their war with virtually everything because as we know, what voting Americans want is to have their porn, sports, retail products and lifestyles all policed by a theocratic nanny state.

Please continue making really bad political decisions!

You think you’re still relevant?

I bet your social media manager double spaces after a period.

Baseball is a sport that people play & watch. People are different, so now, so is baseball. White Christians don’t own baseball or America.

When has it openly incited attacks on Christian faith? Maybe Christian nationalist’s trying to insert their demands on others, which is how it should be.
Keep your religion in the church and no one will care.

I’m sorry. Who are you again?

Attacks on Christian faith? I’m looking but I don’t see that. Unless you mean supporting LGBTQ people and their organizations, but I know a lot of gay Christians, so I really think this is your personal problem.

Okay Karen

Pride is only an attack on your Christian values if your Christian values are un-Christ-like

Jesus accepted everyone, you Christofascist bigot.

Imagine being an adult and having to resort to tweets like this to be able to run for President as a Republican..

Remember that time a bunch of Republicans took over the Capitol and smeared shit on the walls?

That was some great Jesus-y and family friendly behavior.
