A very strange hill to plant your flag on, Mark (r).

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 1, 2024]
Steve Bannon is a political prisoner.
Biden has weaponized the government against his political opponents, and turned the Department of Justice upside down.
Bannon followed his lawyer’s counsel, and the J6 select committee was illegitimate.
This is a disgrace to our country.

A few days earlier, an order from the U.S. Supreme Court:

(ORDER LIST: 603 U.S.)
FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2024
ORDER IN PENDING CASE
23A1129 BANNON, STEPHEN K. V. UNITED STATES
The application for release pending appeal presented to The
Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Are you planning on doing stand-up when your political career ends? You post some funny stuff.

And after this prison sentence is the trial for defrauding people into donating to build a wall. which he used to live a lavish lifestyle. MAGA…only the best people.

Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Alan Weisselberg all sentenced to prison, yes Trump pardoned some of them while Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and Scott Hall took plea deals to testify against co-defendants. Many other Trump lawyers are also facing serious charges. Meanwhile Trump boasts he hires only the best people. “Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.” [….]

Let’s not forget America’s Bankrupt Mayor will be having his turn with the “serious charges.”

We now have the great of embarrassment of having Alford in the same breath as Boebert, Greene, and Gaetz.

like Gym Jordan?

Good. You break the law you go to jail.

Congressman Mark Alford did you get your law degree from Trump University?

He should ask for his money back.

Or did he drop out?

Someone who has so little respect for our judicial system does not belong in Congress.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in January 2006: “There is nothing that is more important for our republic than the rule of law. No person in this country, no matter how high or powerful, is above the law.”

The party of law and order!!!!

Lies lies lies.

#LockHimUp!

You are a disgrace!

Marky, sit down and shut the fuck up. Bannon isn’t a political prisoner. He was put in jail for failing to follow a Congressional summons. That is called breaking the law in this country. You break the law you do your time.

You’re incompetent and a disgrace.
Not surprised at all by your asinine statement, shilling for crumb.

Congressman Mark Alford, you’re such an IDIOT

You are a delusional supporter of traitors.

The Supreme Court you were licking on for the immunity of your master told Bannon no.

Heh. There’s that.

Mark , I do not think ,your drunk ass friend is liked in the forth district,your need to rest from all your ego lifting,take the day off

Steve Bannon is an adult. He made his choices. Including the choice to defy Congressional subpoenas at the risk of incarceration.
Bannon got what the rule of law proscribed.
It is also what the Rule of Trump always leads to. (The Rule of Trump is that Trump has the Fecal Touch – everything he touches turns to shit.)
And there’s a laundry list of loyal supporters who can tell you the same.

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

Oh, Mark. You’re a farce.
It’s laughable that you claim Biden is weaponizing the legal system. That’s exactly what Donny did and will do again if elected.
That’s called projection, and you’re very good at it.

I’d say Alford projects often, not that he’s good at it…..

Heh.

Steve Bannon is a criminal who was corruptly pardoned by President Trump. He should have been tried and convicted for the We Build the Wall scam with the three other men who didn’t get pardoned by his buddy, Donald Trump. I suppose that left him feeling like he was above the law and so he ignored a subpoena from Congress. No one is above the law, Mark. No one.

Well, now, because of the six wingnut majority on the U.S. Supreme Court Donald Trump (r) is.

Oh ffs.

Mark the Supreme Court refused to save him last week. He refused subpoenas from congress of which you are a member of. That same Supreme Court gave your dictator wannabe some immunity. Was that an example of Biden weaponizing the government? If he is manipulating the Justice dept like rump did in office, why didn’t he in his son’s case? Your logic, judgment and morals are seriously flawed Mark. You believe laws only apply to some people and not your cult. You have betrayed your oath of office and I’m ashamed you horribly represent us in Missouri.

4th Congressional District, convicted felon, Donald Trump, dumbass, former newsreader, hypocrite, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sycophant

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 30, 2024]
I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
President Trump was wrongfully prosecuted and wrongfully convicted by a deeply corrupt and compromised District Attorney Bragg and Judge Merchan.
I’m confident these convictions WILL be overturned on appeal.
This is a disgrace and election interference at the highest levels. To put it simply, if President Trump was not running for election, these charges would never have been brought against him.
This sham prosecution is a stain upon the entire judicial system, and those involved should be held accountable.
This is further evidence of the two tier system of justice in America. Not only was President Trump not afforded due process, but normal judicial procedures were also not followed. This was all done with one goal in mind: to re-elect Joe Biden as President of the United States.
The American people see that this farce is 100% political and orchestrated to take down a former President — and the current leading candidate for President, Donald J. Trump.
We know the TRUTH – that they are not just coming after President Trump. They are coming after the hardworking patriots who support President Trump, and trying to silence the voices of “We the People.”
We know that President Trump is innocent! And that come next January he will be the next President of the United States, and once again sit behind that Resolute Desk and be the resolute leader that we want and need.
May God bless President Trump and his family, and God bless the United States of America!

Dumbass.

Some of the responses:

Then you stand with s convicted felon.
You stand with an amoral man who cheated on all three wives. He is a liar and a cheat.
You are the company you keep.

Liar. Trump is reaping what he sowed for decades and the ONLY reason he wasn’t tossed UNDER the jail is he’s a bloviating loud-mouth mobster FORMER Pres. He got more “due process” than ANYONE EVER. 23 CITIZENS indicted him and 12 CITIZENS convicted him.

What evidence would change your mind, Mark?

Nothing, evidently.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

If you have evidence that there was wrongdoing, you need to present it. It is incredibly irresponsible to make statements that are not based in fact. Your guy was found guilty x 34. He’s going to Appeal, his attorneys have been preparing for that from the beginning. Based on what evidence the jurors asked for, while deliberating, they wanted to get it right. Trump stacked the courts with Judges, so maybe the verdicts our overturned on Appeal. Today though, he was found guilty on 34 felony counts by a jury of his peers who saw and listened to the evidence presented by both sides.

Agree. Mark Alford has officially accused a DA and a Federal judge of corruption on his official page. Wouldn’t it be fun to see Alford rung up on defamation charges.

Don’t be ridiculous! He was found guilty by a jury, based on the evidence presented. Why can’t the GOP tell him to step aside, so they can have a candidate that is not a convicted felon.
Felons cannot serve in the military, how can we have one as Commander in Chief?

No one is above the Law! Justice prevailed!!!

I believe in law and order. And the American justice system.

Remember when Trump said Hillary should drop out because she was under investagation?
The GOP is no longer the party of law and order.

You stand with the convicted felon, Donald J Trump. Remember when the GOP claimed to be the party of law and order and being tough on crime. Remember when looking soft on crime put you at risk of not being elected? It’s so cool to be contrary.

MAGA is choking the life out of the GOP.

As an elected official you took an oath of office to support the laws of this country. Instead you choose to support a criminal who has shown repeatedly that he has zero regard for the laws and in fact considers himself above the law. That’s reprehensible.

It is sad to see you supporting the most disgusting human to ever seek public office. Trump’s disqualification for public service is not about politics, it’s a matter of basic morals and human decency.
He is a convicted felon. (Period) He faces 54 additional felonies in three separate jurisdictions that have been slow walked until after the election. He has already lost civil trials and has been ordered to pay a half billion dollars for fraud, sexual assault and defamation. This is not a nice person. Regardless of your politics you should never be associated with such an awful albatross.
Trump destroys every thing he touches.

So, Mark Alford, what penalty should Trump pay for raw-dogging a porn star while his wife is home with his child? Your bible says to stone him to death. Are you prepared to throw the first stone? #useless

Shut the fuck up you pathetic political hack. This verdict will not be overturned. All twelve jurors said he was guilty of all 34 charges. He was found guilty of every charge. There was nothing in this case that would merit the verdict being overturned. Hopefully when sentencing takes place on July 11, he will be put in jail. Commit the crime and do the time. You are an embarrassment to the state of Missouri with your support of a felon, a fraud, and a rapist.

MAGA. = my ass got arrested [….]

So what you are saying is those 12 Citizens, doing their duty, were all wrong. After hearing all the evidence which you have not, are wrong.
That you and every other trumper are ready and willing to support a Known, Proven and Convicted Felon to sit in the oval office and use his powers to further enrich himself and destroy the Constitution. The rule of Law, the judicial system, the Constitution are all worthless and of Zero value because your lying, cheating, thieving, pussy grabber and sexual predator is the best you repubs can come up with.
Seriously? GTFO. Take your slime and lies and slug your way back to your hole.

You are an absolute embarrassment. You are defending a FELON. A grand jury indicted him and a jury convicted him. You were elected to help this country, not to be a pandering liar.

Sorry you support such an evil person, a person so corrupt and morally bereft, a person who undermines the rule of law at every turn. You have no honor.

You’re still wrong, Mark. But keep kissing up to the adjudicated rapist and now convicted felon.

Lock him up!
Isn’t that right party of “law and order”?

So you stand with a known rapist who paid off a porn star to influence a Presidential election???

Trump went from “it’s a victimless crime” to “legal experts say there shouldn’t even be a case” to finally “I don’t even know what they are charging me with”.
Anyone who is a Trumper has to be seeing this and has to scratch their head wondering exactly which one are they supposed to be arguing now.

And that guided missile cruiser didn’t just spring a leak and sink.

Yesterday, from Mark Alford (r):

Mark Alford
[December 10, 2023]
President Zelensky, the charm offensive and pressure campaign on us in Congress will not work to secure more aide until two things happen:
#1 you tell us what the end game is. What does victory look like?
#2 we start to secure our OWN border with Mexico.
We have authorized and appropriated more than 113 billion dollars so far.
Our taxpayers and our citizens deserve answers and security!!!!
See you Tuesday, Sir.
[….]

Two different issues, dumbass. One having nothing to do with Ukraine.

“…#1 you tell us what the end game is. What does victory look like?…”

How about stopping aggression against a neighboring country by an authoritarian government and leader and deterring it in the future? For starters.

Ahistorical dumbass.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

The responses are telling. One exchange:

Mark Alford. why are you supporting Putin against an ally of the United States? Why are you advocating for US boots on the ground involvement in a European ground war, which is EXACTLY what is going to happen if Ukraine falls to Putin? The fact you don’t know this means you either don’t know the basics you need to do your job, or you’re a traitor to this nation in your stand with Putin. Which is it?

A retort:

your a true moron!

You’re.

Welcome to 21st Century America.

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[November 21, 2023]
Winter is coming…
Under Joe Biden:
Energy prices are up by 39.69 %
Gasoline prices are up by 54.82 %
Electricity prices are up by 24.24 %
Natural gas prices are up by 22.69 %

On November 18, 2023 in Warrensburg, Missouri:

The price was considerably lower yesterday morning.

Some of the responses:

Rule #1 in deciphering political speech….
Not one number they cite is accurate. Not one.

…political speech… “…right wingnut regurgitation…” Fixed it for you.

What is your plan to bring the prices down? Would you support limits on profits, having the Executive branch cap gasoline and natural gas prices and electricity prices? How about just taking over the electric companies and oil companies and natural gas companies? That would work, but it would be true socialism. Oil prices are currently at a record low in the US, and oil production is rising, but you are complaining about energy prices, and blaming them on the government. We are a capitalist society, In a capitalist society when production goes up, prices should go down, The government does not control prices, the big energy companies do. Blame President Biden if you wish, but realize that you are barking up the wrong tree, unless it is more important to you to demean our government than to help the workers and citizens. [….]

Under Joe Biden – the weather got really hot a few months ago…but now it’s not as hot as it was…DAMN IT JOE! Under Joe Biden – the Oakland A’s decided to move to Las Vegas…DAMN IT JOE!!

Joe Biden (D) [2020 file photo].

Heh.

shhhh… he prefers his followers to be stupid and believe the s*** he posts

They are and they do.

So u think the corrupt Elites & corrupt Democrats will pull off another rigged election??? Clearly Biden did not get 81 million votes when even his accounts like Twitter showed him w only 20 million something floolowees while Trump had 70 million something followers until Twitter booted his account, probably why, to hide this clear evidence.

We rest our case.

Keep making shit up.
We will remember your loyalty to the wannabe dictator when you’re up in 2028.

And you are a li[a]r, a fear monger and a bag of cat piss that can’t back up a single thing he posts with facts.

Well, okay.

It’s not mass murder, it’s single intentional deaths, one after another, really fast

Donald Trump, dumbass, indictment, special counsel

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

“On November 18, 2022, Jack Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland to serve as the Special Counsel by Order No. 5559-2022.”

On June 8, 2023 a grand jury returned an indictment of Donald Trump (r).

[….]
3. The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack. The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods.

4. At 12:00 p.m. on January 20, 2021, TRUMP ceased to be president. As he departed the White House, TRUMP caused scores of boxes, many of which contained classified documents, to be transported to The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, where he maintained his residence. TRUMP was not authorized to possess or retain those classified documents.

5. The Mar-a-Lago Club was an active social club, which, between January 2021 and August 2022, hosted events for tens of thousands of members and guests. After TRUMP’s presidency, The Mar-a-Lago Club was not an authorized location for the storage, possession, review, display, or discussion of classified documents. Nevertheless, TRUMP stored his boxes containing classified documents in various locations at The Mar-a-Lago Club—including in a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, his bedroom, and a storage room.
[….]

[….]
17. Pursuant to Executive Order 13526, information classified at any level could be lawfully accessed only by persons determined by an appropriate United States government official to be eligible for access to classified information and who had signed an approved non-disclosure agreement, who received a security clearance, and who had a “need-to-know” the classified information. After his presidency, TRUMP was not authorized to possess or retain classified documents.

18. Executive Order 13526 provided that a former president could obtain a waiver of the “need-to-know” requirement, if the agency head or senior agency official of the agency that originated the classified information: (1) determined in writing that access was consistent with the interest of national security and (2) took appropriate steps to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure or compromise and ensured that the information was safeguarded in a manner consistent with the order. TRUMP did not obtain any such waiver after his presidency.
[….]

[….]
54. On May 23, 2022, TRUMP met with Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 2 at The Mar-a-Lago Club to discuss the response to the May 11 Subpoena. Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 2 told TRUMP that they needed to search for documents that would be responsive to the subpoena and provide a certification that there had been compliance with the subpoena. TRUMP, in sum and substance, made the following statements, among others, as memorialized by Trump Attorney 1:
a. I don’t want anybody looking, I don’t want anybody looking through my boxes, I really don’t, I don’t want you looking through my boxes.
b. Well what if we, what happens if we just don’t respond at all or don’t play ball with them?
c. Wouldn’t it be better if we just told them we don’t have anything here?
d. Well look isn’t it better if there are no documents?
[….]

[….]
62. In sum, between May 23, 2022, and June 2, 2022, before Trump Attorney 1’s review of TRUMP’s boxes in the Storage Room, NAUTA—at TRUMP’s direction—moved
approximately 64 boxes from the Storage Room to TRUMP’s residence and brought to the Storage Room only approximately 30 boxes. Neither TRUMP nor NAUTA informed Trump Attorney 1 of this information.
[….]

[….]
71. Shortly after Trump Attorney 3 executed the false certification, on June 3, 2022, Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 3 met at The Mar-a-Lago Club with personnel from the Department of Justice and FBI. Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 3 turned over the Redweld folder containing documents with classification markings, as well as the false certification signed by Trump Attorney 3 as custodian of records. TRUMP, who had delayed his departure from The Mar-a-Lago Club, joined Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 3 for some of the meeting. TRUMP claimed to the Department of Justice and FBI that he was “an open book.”

72. Earlier that same day, NAUTA and others loaded several of TRUMP’s boxes along with other items on aircraft that flew TRUMP and his family north for the summer.
[….]

[….]
79. From on or about May 11, 2022, through in or around August 2022, in Palm Beach County, in the Southern District of Florida, and elsewhere, the defendants,

DONALD J. TRUMP and
WALTINE NAUTA,

did knowingly combine, conspire, confederate, and agree with each other and with others known and unknown to the grand jury, to engage in misleading conduct toward another person and corruptly persuade another person to withhold a record, document, and other object from an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(2)(A), and to corruptly conceal a record, document, and other object from an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(1).
[….]

[….]
91. On or about June 3, 2022, in Palm Beach County, in the Southern District of Florida, and elsewhere, the defendant,

DONALD J. TRUMP,

in a matter within the jurisdiction of the judicial branch and executive branch of the United States government, did knowingly and willfully make and cause to be made a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement and representation; that is—during a federal grand jury investigation and a federal criminal investigation being conducted by the FBI, TRUMP caused the following false statements and representations to be made to the grand jury and the FBI in a sworn certification executed by Trump Attorney 3:
[….]

Go. Read the whole thing.

Pass the popcorn.

Today:

Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford
Life expectancy in the US has fallen for 2 consecutive years. Incentivizing healthier lifestyles should not be controversial, but Democrats are making it such.

The “N” in SNAP stands for nutrition. It is time to put nutrition back in the program.
11:13 AM · Jun 7, 2023

“…Life expectancy in the US has fallen for 2 consecutive years…”

Why would that be? Has something been going on for the last two or three years?

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
National Center for Health Statistics
Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19
Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

…Estimates of excess deaths can provide information about the burden of mortality potentially related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deaths that are directly or indirectly attributed to COVID-19. Excess deaths are typically defined as the difference between the observed numbers of deaths in specific time periods and expected numbers of deaths in the same time periods. This visualization provides weekly estimates of excess deaths by the jurisdiction in which the death occurred. Weekly counts of deaths are compared with historical trends to determine whether the number of deaths is significantly higher than expected.

Counts of deaths from all causes of death, including COVID-19, are presented. As some deaths due to COVID-19 may be assigned to other causes of deaths (for example, if COVID-19 was not diagnosed or not mentioned on the death certificate), tracking all-cause mortality can provide information about whether an excess number of deaths is observed, even when COVID-19 mortality may be undercounted. Additionally, deaths from all causes excluding COVID-19 were also estimated. Comparing these two sets of estimates — excess deaths with and without COVID-19 — can provide insight about how many excess deaths are identified as due to COVID-19, and how many excess deaths are reported as due to other causes of death. These deaths could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deaths from other causes occurring in the context of health care shortages or overburdened health care systems)…

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Hmm….what happened in the last two years that your party likes to pretend was just a cold but we lost 1.1 million Americans that could have been lessened by following preventative protocols??

Covid, Mark, it was Covid.

Wonder why ppl died last few years?

So you’re saying our healthcare is bad Mark?

Uh…HEY uh Mark…uh…nutrition is important…uh but the 2 year decline in life expectancy wasn’t because of poor nutrition. My gawd you are really bad at his leading stuff. This tweet of yours makes me think you might be a parody account. Tell me about the championship rings.

You should be promoting access to health care then instead of voting to defund Medicare and Medicaid. You know SNAP recipients can’t afford to eat healthy.

The “A” in SNAP stands for assistance. It is time to put assistance back in the program and stop placing roadblocks that prevent Americans from getting the help they need.

Clown.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

You need to read that report as it does not say what you evidently think it means.

It didn’t Debunk anything and was out together by a hack from Trumps DOJ. lol

The Durham Report did not debunk the Muller Report. What are you smoking, Mark?

Still no teleprompter to help you read the report?

Thanks, Mark, for showin’ us you’ve not read either of the reports.

Amazing how you don’t mention fox Why don’t you just go back to rolling on the floor crying about your AM radio. It works better for you

We cannot allow China to purchase one more acre of American farmland!
[….]
12:07 PM · Apr 15, 2023

Some of the responses:

Talk to @Eric_Schmitt. He voted and voted overrule a governors veto to allow the sale of Missouri farmland. Were you upset when you reported on that when you were a journalist?

“…Were you upset when you reported on that when you were a newsreader?” – fixed it for you.

Who allowed it in the first place?

How about Canadians buying US farmland?

What would Brian Boitano do?

What you are saying, is that you want to take away Americans rights and freedoms to sell their land to the highest bidder.

Good job Congressman Alford. Say it like it is. 1 acre is too much for communist government to own. Especially next to a US Airforce base.

You know both Missouri senators and the governor voted to allow those sales?

Well, not Josh Hawley (r). He was too busy ladder climbing.

You should be speaking in Jeff city, not DC.

Then why did the Missouri GOP ok China purchasing our land?
Fact checking Mark
Yep the GOP voted for it
[….]

Maybe @IvankaTrump should give back her patents she got from China as well?

Trademarks, but okay.

Brand new issue?

Who is SELLING U.S. farmland to China?

Corporations? Just a random guess.

Talk, talk, talk!

Oh look, @RepMarkAlford is trying to look relevant.

Not working. Hypocrisy is the only agenda the @GOP knows.

Then why in the HELL did Eric Schmitt vote, not once, but TWICE, to sell MO agriculture land??? It’s YOUR party doing it you dingleberry!

And……you’ve already exceeded the limit that was ‘supposed’ to be sold off.

Your party did this. Don’t act like you’re shocked.

Who is selling it?

They already own the important acres needed to wack out our Air Force bases!!!!

Yeah, you know, feed corn will do that.

HEY! Wasn’t it Eric Schitt who ok’ed the sale of MO farmlands to the Chinese? Yes, it was. Come on @RepMarkAlford — call him up and ask him about it. Don’t you do your homework? Eric Schmitt voted twice to approve the sale of farmland to foreign businesses.

Haven’t y’all Republicans been in charge for 20 years? When did these sales of Missouri farmland happen?

Hey dumbass, you are the idiots that allowed for it to happen in the first place. Just resign and let people that know what they are doing take your seat.

Anything else happening on Saturday?

20 mins and you are tied to the radical MTG FOREVER
