What else is new?

Eric Schmitt (r) [2024 file photo].

Have some self-respect, man.

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[February 1, 2023]
Never forget the border crisis was a man-made crisis created by Biden and the Democrats.

“No human is illegal”

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Eric Schmitt, you as much of a bigot as Orange Adolph. The border has been unsecured since the Mexican American War. You and your toadies had a Bipartisan Border Security Act ready to go and Republicans, like you, killed it on the orders of Orange Adolph, so he could campaign on the issue.

Well, yes.

pot calling the kettle black? You have no one to blame but yourself and your party. You created this by being so completely unbearable and so anti-American that the Amish came out to vote against you. Let that sink in, your party pissed the Amish off so bad that they showed up on November 5. Hell, people from ALL walks of life voted against you but we are the bigots and racists. Stay off of social media because this is going to continue to worse for you. DJT hasn’t even been in office a month and y’all are already melting down.

Eric Schmitt Are you all moral cowards w/ no spine? You preach honesty and integrity yet trump is a convicted felon, who paid off a pornstar, ran a fake Univ, had 6BKs, sexually abused a woman and you seem to have no thoughts on that and also seem to have no opinion on if Snowden was a traitor. You are an embarassment, I hope your kids know the role model you serve when it comes to the above!

Well, grifters, too.

There was a bipartisan bill on the cusp of passing until that orange dumpster fire killed it.

Bullshit the border has been a crisis the last 50 years. As usual your just throwing bullshit out to see if you can get any idiot to buy into it.

the price of gas is going up. You haven’t brought down grocery prices. When are you going to do something for the working people? Trump sent an email to all the air traffic controllers encouraging them to resign. That should make air travel really interesting.

That is false Senator Schmitt

You are doing nothing but stoking fear.

You are LYING. Lying your ass off. You KNOW Trump killed the bipartisan border deal. Don’t you feel any shame at all? You have no class or character.

Let’s be clear about Trump’s history with immigration … mass deportation did NOT work well his first time around.
Under Biden, American citizens weren’t being harassed and detained simply because of the color of their skin. Under Biden, Missouri representatives weren’t considering putting bounties on peoples’ heads and incentivizing citizens (with guns) financially to hunt down illegals.
In Trump’s first term, his immigration policies released criminals into the US. His first term focused on prosecuting migrant parents, separating families, and banning asylum. One of his first acts in office overrode an Obama policy to remove public safety threats. Trump actively released tens of thousands of noncitizens WITH criminal records into the United States.
Trump, in his first term, very specifically wanted MASS deportation over TARGETED deportation, taking emphasis OFF of the immigrants who posed a threat.
By the end of Trump’s first term, three times as many criminals were gaining access to the US than at the beginning of his term. Trumps actions, “reversed a decade of near-continuous progress in deterring criminals from attempting to enter the United States illegally”
Trump is not a hero cleaning up Biden’s mess. He had just as much time in office as Biden to address our immigration issues and he failed.

I am very concerned about the actions of private citizen Elon Musk, in particular as they threaten the integrity of our Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other crucial services. Is this something you can do anything about?
Per reputable sources, Elon Musk’s staff has been caught plugging in hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA). His staff encountered resistance when demanding that Treasury officials grant access to systems managing the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Tensions escalated when Musk’s aides were discovered at OPM accessing systems, including a vast database known as the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI), which contains sensitive information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, performance appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service for government employees. In response to employees speaking out, Musk’s aides locked civil servants out of computer systems and offices, with reports of personal items being searched.
He is a private citizen who has no right to any of this information. He and his accomplices need to be brought up on charges under the CFAA.
Computer hacking criminal law violations under the CFAA include:
• Obtaining national security information (through a government computer system or website)
• Accessing computers or systems to obtain value or defraud a victim
• Accessing a computer to obtain information without permission
• Extortion that involves computers

Why don’t you care about OUR country and having a functioning government? Don’t you care about your children and grandchildren’s future? Your vile felon leader is out to destroy our democracy and every agency in the Federal Government. My father did not fight in WW11 so you can merely put our country into a dictatorship because you are TOO weak to save this country. Act to impeach Trump NOW, or everything in the country is lost. He is gutting all fast.
First rule of government is to keep the people safe above all else. ACT Now

Why would you say that? That is not a unifying strategy. Is sowing hate and division in your job description? You are supposed to be working for the benefit of ALL Missourians NOT encouraging us to distrust each other.

What are you doing about Musk, an unelected billionaire, taking over the OPM and the Treasury Dept? Sounds like you are an accomplice to our country becoming a dictatorship. Trump is following the Project 2025 playbook and you and other Republicans are sitting on your hands. Shame on you all. History will not be kind to you.

DEI isn’t responsible for any of our problems.
trump’s causing inflation and disruption of the economy and government. His owner/co-president, Musk, is trying to gain control of the Treasury Dept’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, a little-known but critical office that is responsible for getting money to Social Security recipients.
Stop listening to Fox and other Kremlin propaganda media sites and start paying attention to the truth and facts.

What a freakin’ joke. We got you and you have no credibility. Sound like a puppet!

We were thinking “clown”, but “puppet” works, too.

“Hey everyone….look at the border.
Don’t look over here. Elon isn’t doing anything shady. Don’t worry federal employees, we are going to give you a long vacation and a buyout. Then we will replace you with Musk created minions. Just relax, it will be painless…..Oh, look! More criminals trying to come across our border.”

I’m watching you on Meet the Press, and am so EMBARRASSED you are Missouri’s senator!! You are Trump’s little parrott! Can’t believe people voted you in!

You were a lousy A.G. and you’re a lousy Senator.

Yep.

Never forget at least some Missouri voters are educated and informed. Your twisted propaganda statistics are disingenuous at best. Why is President Musk accessing federal databases?

Don’t divert …do not confirm RFK. Do not fire/prosecute federal lawyers that upheld our constitution. Do not allow Elon access to our personal data. This is ridiculous

Dude your voicemail is full. Can you not even manage that to hear from your constituents?

That’s a feature, not a bug.

Explain to me how an unelected person appointed to an unofficial office is allowed access to US citizen’s private information and access to other information he shouldn’t have? Are you going to do anything about THAT?

I just saw you on Meet the Press. You really need to answer questions directly.You couldn’t answer one question clear and concise. Just walking 1m miles around the answer. I have no respect for you if you can’t be honest and direct.

You are misinformed

You are a damn filthy disgusting liar.

Saw this idiot on meet the press ths morning. He forgot to mention someone went to prison for fake information about Hunter Biden when he was using his typical idiot Republican “whataboutism”. Like a typical cowardly Republicans he referring to a tough question as a “gotcha question” inntypical Republican fashion. This guy, like all Republicans cannot think for himself. They are all pathetic cowards kneeling at trumps alter. We all see it.

Puppet

Hey Eric ol boy what’s your plan to help Missourians weather your orange master’s stupid-ass trade war?

You are a disgrace with your damning comments on Canada. Just another trump goon and you have convinced noone. You are a liar and a trump cult member. You have lost all your credibility. Nice side stepping can’t even answer the Snowden question. People are tired of the TRUMP GAMES and you are an ass

You’re a bootlicking clown.

Watched you this a.m. on MTP. You’re a bigger buffoon than I thought. Thanks for letting the American people hear you say out loud you want to see white straight males running everything. Maybe next time you’re asked to appear on television, wear the white sheet and pointy hat!

Saw you on Meet the Press with your racist comments. It is disgusting that we have someone who is spewing the felon’s alt right white message about dei. You are a disgrace to Missourians. THEN you LIED about fentanyl. Fentanyl precursors continue to be produced in China, then shipped to Mexico and countries in Central America; these countries are the leading suppliers of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs sold in the United States. Why isn’t CHINA getting tarriffs? Fentanyl smuggling is ultimately funded by U.S. consumers who pay for illicit opioids: nearly 99 percent of whom are U.S. citizens. State the facts and not lies. I guess you think Missourians won’t fact check you and your racist comments.

How does your dumb fascist ass plan to shield us from the impact of your stupid boss’s tariffs, moron?

Elect clowns and the government becomes a circus.

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

Not clown enough for the big circus

On Monday:

Burgess Everett @burgessev
News: Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt told Trump transition that he’s withdrawing his name from consideration for attorney general, per a person familiar. The Missouri senator will help select judges and work to move Trump’s agenda in the Senate
10:04 AM · Nov 11, 2024

Eric Schmitt
November 11, 2024
Can confirm.
I ran for the U.S. Senate to represent the people of the Show Me State and I’m just getting started.
The American people have given President Donald J. Trump a mandate. A mandate to secure our border, make America energy dominant and fight for the forgotten men and women of this country. We need America First fighters who don’t just say they support the agenda but who are willing to stand in the breach and actually fight for it and for the hopes and dreams of the American people.
I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and be a champion for President Trump in the Senate.
[….]

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Some of the responses:

that’s not fair. Herr Schmitt would be a great MAGA Attorney General. He could waste millions of dollars traveling the country suing school board over vaccination requirements.

Actually, just wearing masks.

I actually was pulling for him and cheered every time I saw him on private jets with Donald. Because we all know that those closest to Donald won’t still have jobs in four years.

Matt Gaetz is! Oh the irony. Poor Eric. Relinquished to a back room “non titled” position. Again..MATT GAETZ. tRump is actually conducting “loyalty tests” with these appointments. Straight out of the facists playbook.

I was hoping you withdrew from everything

All you ass-kissing and nothing

Matt Gaetz beat out Eric Schmitt for AG? How low down the list do you have to be for Matt Gaetz to beat you?

Heh.

You did nothing for Missouri anyways. Why would you think you’d be a good US attorney general? What have you done? I don’t think you are qualified to select judges either.

LOL. What you really mean is that all that DRUMPF kissing up didn’t pay off!!
DRUMPF didn’t want you.

So….apparently you didn’t suck up as hard as Matt Gaetz. Or maybe you didn’t have kompromat on Trump.
Either way, this administration will humiliate America on the world stage.
Thanks for ruining a decent country.

Thank god. You’re a canker sore.

Well, okay. We get the point.

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