Why do they bother? Are they somehow convinced that their random talking points are going to persuade anyone else? Or, are they just afraid that if they don’t regurgite anything that they’ll confirm their lack of gravitas with their silence?
Once again. In response to this and its accompanying traffic spike.
As always, this is too easy.
We don’t allow ignorant comments out of moderation to be linked with the original post, but we do occasionally present some of them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit.
Here we are.
We try not to engage right wingnuts directly. By any definition of their thought processes and ideology, it’s a colossal waste of time. [….]
Unless we’re bored or it amuses us.
We are slightly amused.
Once again.
The first comment:
I agree it should not have been certified. Too many laws were broken in the name of Covid. Rules were broken, extended mail in days assigned improperly and so on.
No certification on the ballot? All of the races on the ballots you’re considering shouldn’t have been certified then? That’s the only way you could attempt to make this work. Have you ever bothered to vote? Did you sleep through your civics classes in elementary school? Did you ever attend elementary school? You appear to be really new to the concept of how elections actually work.
Laziness is a personal choice. It doesn’t ever serve the quality of public discourse. And so on.
The next comment:
Hardly a cult in any language. They simply did what the left has been doing every time they lose an election in any category.
Again with the laziness. Tu quoque.
“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.
Yes, it is a cult. In any language.

A letter to Barry Loudermilk (r) from the chair of the committee:
[….]
June 15, 2022
Representative Barry Loudermilk
United States House of Representatives
2133 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Loudermilk:
On May 19, 2022, the Select Committee invited you to meet with us about evidence of a tour you provided on January 5, 2021. Based on our review of surveillance video, social media activity, and witness accounts, we understand you led a tour group through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021. That group stayed for several hours, despite the complex being closed to the public on that day.
Surveillance footage shows a tour of approximately ten individuals led by you to areas in the Rayburn, Longworth, and Cannon House Office Buildings, as well as the entrances to tunnels leading to the U.S. Capitol. The below image shows you leading individuals on the tour:
[….]
Individuals on the tour photographed and recorded areas of the complex not typically of interest to tourists, including hallways, staircases, and security checkpoints. [….] For example, the below image shows an individual appearing to photograph a staircase in the basement of the Longworth House Office Building while you speak with others nearby:
[….]
The below image shows members of the tour you led also taking photographs of the tunnel leading from the Rayburn House Office Building to the Capitol:
[….]
The behavior of these individuals during the January 5, 2021 tour raises concerns about their activity and intent while inside the Capitol complex.
The Select Committee has learned that some individuals you sponsored into the complexattended the rally at the Ellipse on the morning of January 6, 2021. According to video recordings from that day obtained by the Select Committee, the individual who appeared to photograph a staircase in the Longworth House Office Building filmed a companion with a flagpole appearing to have a sharpened end who spoke to the camera saying, “It’s for a certain person,” while making an aggressive jabbing motion. Later, these individuals joined the unpermitted march from the Ellipse to the U.S. Capitol. While standing near the Capitol grounds, the same individual made a video that contained detailed and disturbing threats against specific Members of Congress. For example, as the individual filmed the march to the Capitol, he said, “There’s no escape Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler. We’re coming for you.” As he looked up at the Capitol, he went on:
[“]They got it surrounded. It’s all the way up there on the hill, and it’s all the way around, and they’re coming in, coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, even you, AOC. We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs. … When I get done with you, you’re going to need a shine on top of that bald head.[“] [….]
While we had hoped to show you the video evidence when you met with us, and since you have thus far declined, the Select Committee provides the video in question for your review [….].
The foregoing information raises questions the Select Committee must answer. Public reporting and witness accounts indicate some individuals and groups engaged in efforts to gather information about the layout of the U.S. Capitol, as well as the House and Senate office buildings, in advance of January 6, 2021. For example, in the week following January 6, 2021, Members urged law enforcement leaders to investigate sightings of “outside groups in the complex” on January 5, 2021 that “appeared to be associated with the rally at the White House the following day.” [….] The Select Committee’s review of urveillance footage showing the above-described tour is consistent with those observations. [….]
We again ask you to meet with the Select Committee at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
s/
Bennie G. Thompson
Chairman
“…coming in like white on rice…” They don’t even attempt to hide it anymore.

We try not to engage right wingnuts directly. By any definition of their thought processes and ideology, it’s a colossal waste of time. There’s an old music adage: “You can’t teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” So, we tend to delete trolling comments and ignore them.
Unless we’re bored or it amuses us.
We are slightly amused.
We previouly posted a short portion of Representative Liz Cheney’s (r) opening remarks at last night’s public hearing of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
We then got comments:
It’s been reported Trump called down his people to the capital because he wanted his people who believed him to know the truth and to be sure that if there came a time in the future where this may need to be done to protect ourselves from government over stepping our rights and he stands firm on this belief. He wasn’t in the wrong to have his supporters check to see if everything was alright but some abused this privilege and everyone is to each thier own actions. If ever a president feels that his team at the capital is not doing thier jobs or anything needs checked out the people of this country are there to make sure they are. Well I would like to know what you all have to say to that. Shame on you. And taking our freedom of speech is a dead give away. Tech allowing hackers to sabatage and not do anything about it is also slander and sabatage. Get ALL the FACTS before making a judgment because you better be sure before acting and or looking stupid. Don’t make us supporters take it to court and show everyone the truth of everything wrong with this country. We will. Amen.
“…some abused this privilege…” So that’s what it’s called when you smear your shit on the walls of the capitol building.
“…If ever a president feels that his team at the capital is not doing thier jobs or anything needs checked out the people of this country are there to make sure they are…” Their.
So, you’re saying the former guy, his children, and his hacks were incompetent? Okay.
“…Well I would like to know what you all have to say to that…” You’re a dumbass. You asked.
“…Shame on you…” Read the post title.
“…And taking our freedom of speech is a dead give away…” Wait, wingnuts only believe in one true and good amendment, and it ain’t the first.
Sabotage.
“…looking stupid…” You’re doing fine on your own. See above.
“…Don’t make us supporters take it to court and show everyone the truth of everything wrong with this country. We will…” Oooh. Wait, that’s already been done. Your cult leader lost every election court case.
Bless your heart.

And another:
I guess I’m a right wing nut. I loved the Abraham accords promoted by Donald Trump. I loved our strong position with China North Korea, Russia, Iran, etc. I loved our energy independence and low gas prices. I loved our prosperity, smaller government, and lower taxes. I also loved the much lower inflation. I loved all this and more about Donald Trump’s policies. I will absolutely vote for him again. If all this makes me a right wing nut, so be it!!
Stupidity may be inherited. Ignorance is a personal choice.
And another:
Everyone should stop this right now and quit wasting our money. And they should be doing something else and help the people. And earn some of the money we pay you. I have never in my life seen crap like this. And it is crap. Your sore loosers and running […] scared now of losing get a life and get over it. You all know you are history when Trump gets back in and you wont be able to get richer off our money. You all need a reality check and it will be soon. Iam praying you all go to jail. Remember one thing the truth always comes out. Jail is to good for you all should be shot.
Oh, by the way, when someone submits a comment here your email address and I.P. address are linked to the comment. You’re obviously too stupid to remember to breathe. And you’re a Fascist pig.

Article VI
All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
It’s there in plain English.
Today from Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r):
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Governor Mike Parson today sent a letter to President Biden’s Department of Justice fighting back against potential federal overreach and encroachment on Missourians’ Second Amendment rights.
[….]
“Missourians’ and Americans’ Second Amendment rights are enshrined in the Constitution – I will defend those rights at every turn,” said Attorney General Schmitt. “Our letter to Biden’s Department of Justice sends a clear message: we will fight any attempts from the federal government to encroach on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”
“The Second Amendment Preservation Act is about protecting law-abiding Missourians against government overreach and unconstitutional federal mandates,” Governor Parson said. “We will reject any attempt by the federal government to circumvent the fundamental right Missourians have to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their property. Throughout my career, I have always stood for the Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and that will not change today or any day.”
The letter, which is in response to the Department of Justice’s Wednesday letter to both the Attorney General and the Governor on the recently passed and signed Second Amendment Preservation Act, begins with, “Your letter purporting to ask for clarification of this important legislation, which was purposefully leaked to the news media, is riddled with a misunderstanding of the law and falsehoods. We will not stand by while the federal government tries to tell Missourians how to live our lives. Missouri is not attempting to nullify federal law. Instead, Missouri is defending its people from federal government overreach by prohibiting state and local law enforcement agencies from being used by the federal government to infringe Missourians’ right to keep and bear arms.”
The letter argues that, under the Second and Tenth Amendments, the right to keep and bear arms is inalienable, and that Missouri has the right to refuse to enforce unconstitutional infringements by the federal government. The letter states, “Likewise, the Tenth Amendment directly limits the Federal Government’s ability to shift the balance of power within the federal system away from the States… the State of Missouri has every right under our system of government and the Tenth Amendment to place limitations on what state and local officials may do.”
The letter also notes the Department of Justice’s June 16 letter conflicts with their own policy toward “sanctuary cities,” stating, “On his first day in office, President Biden rescinded President Trump’s executive order that prohibited federal grant awards to sanctuary jurisdictions that refused to cooperate with the federal government to enforcement immigration laws. In April, the Office of Justice Programs reportedly repealed the Department of Justice’s policy that required recipients of a law enforcement grant to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a condition of their funding… President Biden and the Department of Justice have decided to reward states and cities that refuse to cooperate with enforcing constitutional immigration laws that protect our citizens against foreign threats, but now they attack Missouri for refusing to cooperate with enforcing unconstitutional gun confiscation laws that put our citizens in danger and degrade their rights.”
The letter ends with, “We will fight tooth and nail to defend the right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment, Article I, § 23 of the Missouri Constitution, and the Second Amendment Preservation Act. And we will not tolerate any attempt by the federal government to deprive Missourians of this critical civil right.”

He also said the same on social media. Some of the responses:
Is Missouri seceding from the United States? Or by what authority would Missouri be able to reject federal law?
@AGEricSchmitt and @GovParsonMO are profoundly ignorant of constitutional law and this move will cost Missourians money as AG Schmidt defends this poorly written law against the inevitable challenges. @SLULAW you need to come take that JD back from Schmidtt.
Your agenda has nothing to do with Missourians or their rights.
Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions.
Yeah.
Y’all keep getting your ignorant ass handed to you in court. Y’all keep doubling down on idiotic mistakes. Y’all gonna secede next?

Governor Mike Parson (r) [2018 file photo].
And Mike Parson (r) did the same. Some of those responses:
Nice try. We fall under the federal umbrella like every other state.
Yeah, let me know how that goes consitutionally, pudding.
Has Eric Schmitt ever won one of the dumb fights he picks? You might want to get yerself a new lawyer, Hee Haw.

Sorry, Heehaw.
Cases of COVID are rising faster here than almost anywhere in the country. And you choose to waste your time on this stupid bullshit? C’mon, man, hike up your big boy pants and SAVE lives instead of making it easier to take them.
I am sure the Biden Department of Justice is just shaking in their boots after receiving a letter from a Traitor like Eric Schmitt. You are useless governor!
You both are just idiots. There’s Noo one trying to take away any weapons.
Hey Gov Nitwit, you are single-handedly making Missouri a laughing stock of America. You realize this, yes?
Why can’t you be an ACTUAL LEADER and convince folks to quit being big freaking babies and get their covid vax?? You are literally the WORST!!!!
