Congressman Mark Alford
[February 28, 2026]

Operation Epic Fury: After years of warnings and failed diplomacy, President Trump acted decisively against Iran’s radical regime. America didn’t start this fight — but we will finish it with strength.
Join me in praying for our brave service members in harm’s way. [….]
[….]

“The GOP wants WW3”

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

This is on you Alford! And everyone who supports this administration.

No. But I will join you in prayer that the constitution you swore an oath to uphold can bear the heavy weight of yet another direct assault by this Iligitimate administration and MAGA party.

Fascist enabler.

Unprovoked attack. Another attack with nodeclared wR and no warning.
Acting like negotiations are on going then pulling a Pearl Habor style attack.
This is bull shit.
The US has to stop attacking countries just because we can.
When we get attacked back we cry terrorism.

Operation Orange Fury.

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

What happened to no new wars, Mark?

imagine if we could have had a deal where we could go and investigate their nuclear facilities. Only an absolute moron would leave a deal like that.

My question is why trump did this w out permission from congress and no one seems to care! Alford should be pissed and speak about that and not support a president who does this time after time! What a fkd up govt we have…War = death and why this time? Sooo many questions w no answers! I pray for our military personnel and ANY innocent who will die because of all this! Truth and proof would be a nice change🤫🤔🤑🤑

Is Barron Trump ready to but boots on the ground?? How about your son ??

he probably has hereditary bone spurs

he has bone spurs 🤣🤣

Is this your attempt at geopolitics? Yeah. Maybe just focus in terms of Missouri on second thought

Operation Epstein Fury

I thought Trump obliterated their nuclear program in June 2025?

You have that “way too much Kool-Aid” look on your face.

But the Board of Peace. . . .

Grift. With no refunds.

it’s a good thing that you live in a country that won’t murder you for speaking out against the government

Uh, someone should tell them.

I thought he said no more wars?

Trump described the US military campaign as “massive and ongoing,” warned American lives may be lost
Trump holds a $1 million-per-person candlelight dinner at Mar-a-Largo tonight at 730pm.
Happy Saturday.

Why isn’t Barron on the front lines?

Who smiles while talking about war?

Has Barron trump enlisted to fight or did he inherit his father’s bone spurs

I’ll pray you get a clue.

All smiles? You’ll own this!

Wag the dog.

But wait. Didn’t we “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear capabilities in June last year?

This war will outlast both of your terms.

“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.

No new wars, huh?

I just don’t understand. Seems like another case where the problem is caused directly by Trump, and then he strongly pretends to fix it. We had a 6-nation agreement on Iran’s nuclear weapons that only Trump walked away from. Then, he told us he “obliterated” the weapons capability last June, now he says different. You really think we should take him seriously now?

The cult will always buy the obvious lies of the cult leader.
That’s one part that makes it a cult.
Pointing out contradictory facts won’t slow them down – just makes them call you names.

Operation Wag the Dog.

Do you think the American people are pro war?

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” – Trump, 11/1/24
“I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” – Trump, 11/5/24

Killing Iranian people makes more enemies than friends. You are an Idiot, how many soldiers & sailors will die because of Republicans starting endless wars?

You cannot possibly be this fucking stupid.

Did your congressional colleagues approve this war, or is just another look-the-other-way moment for all of you? At this point, “spineless” is the least insulting adjective I can use to describe the GOP.

Wipe that stupid look off your face. If you can.

You’ve really drunk the KoolAid.

You support an unconstitutional action by a felon? Wipe that damn smirk off your face.

Look at this glib, gleeful idiot. We have truly elected the worst to represent us.

Your complicity is noted

Operation dumb ass

Did Congress get consulted per the constitution? Do your damn job

… America literally started this fight you fucking dumbass.
How the fuck did they elect the village idiot as a representative in Congress?

Ah now we are connecting the words FAILED and DEMOCRACY as the next step of fascist messaging with just 2.5 years to convince people to give up on voting and let rich people make all the decisions. Which is what missouri has already done

He started it when he tore up an agreement already in place. The idiocy and lunacy of this man is fucking nuts

You’re a real sycophant POS, Mark.

Just because you lie about this war doesn’t make us support it, or you!

You are the worst.

Nuremberg bitch

Acting like you care!!😡

What the hell is the matter with you

You are a war monger.

America first? No new wars? Bunch of hypocrites. All of you.

MAGA is a war movement
It doesn’t work without war
The war started against the American people
Now it is expanding
This is exactly what MAGA voted for

The United States did start this fight. Trump said no more wars, he lied.
This is an unapproved and illegal war. It is time cowardly Republicans grow a spine and stop his crimes against the world and the American people.
You are wholly complicit in every crime you turn a blind eye too. It is fast becoming a mountain of vile crimes and self enrichment.
Do something! Or resign.

What an absolute disgrace. What happened to no more useless foreign wars over oil?

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 25, 2026]

Last night made it crystal clear:
The divide in this country isn’t caused by President Trump — it’s between those who put America first and those who put illegal aliens first.”
It’s time for the left to drop the Trump Derangement Syndrome and get on board with putting America first
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

That is a bunch of baloney. You both need to acquaint yourself with the US Constitution and the system of checks and balances.
Apparently, you are on Team Herod and not Team Jesus. You would have taken pride in sending Jesus back across the border to be killed by Herod. Yet, you pretend to be a follower of Christ. You make my heart hurt.

How about putting our Constitution first

The Constitution comes first!

Mark every one of your posts is divisive. “Democrats did this and republicans did that.” Every single one. You feed into it.

Mark, you keep making these posts, do you ever take the time to read your comments. If not, maybe you should.

When was the last time a president pointed to his opposition party and called them all crazy?
The government is being sued by over 1500 corporations because they illegally implemented tariffs. What’s the plan for that?

The only thing that last night made crystal clear is that our government is becoming ever less a serious institution and more a performative entertainment organization.

Cambridge Dictionary definition of derangement: the state of being completely unable to think clearly or behave in a controlled way, especially because of mental illness. My dislike of Trump is throughly rational and well-considered.

Are you high?

Jesus fuck you are dumb

What are you going to do when Trump leaves office?

The State of the Dementia speech.

We are still waiting for affordable health care and living wages. What are you doing about these issues?

Well, that is completely laughable

It’s weird. I seem to remember Donald Trump referring to Democrats as crazy last night. Who’s dividing?

Mark, the sycophant puppet who can’t come up with anything original

You are putting party over the American constitution. Do the job you swore to uphold.

“The division isn’t caused by Trump, so blindly follow the Trump regime… or else!”

Mark Alford, you are a fool!

I am so tired of the same old BS lies and propaganda. Just stop. You are a disgrace.

You are such a puppet.

TDS perfectly describes the cultish behavior exhibited by the trained seals jumping up and down and clapping wildly at every inane utterance

Bullshit. The divide is between those who will stand up for the Constitution and those who want to trample on it. THAT is putting America first, Congressman. Hope you get swept out in the midterms because clearly, your priorities are totally out of whack.

Trump is the cause of the division. Period.

You’re nuts, he turned against the Supreme Court and acted like a toddler….

The “divide” is completely Trump’s fault. To say otherwise is just another lie.

You know TDS is a fake disorder created by a bunch of knuckle dragging bootlickers, right? This is a class war, devised by a bunch of rich assholes trying to get richer.

Propagandist Bull Shit is all you post. Damn man, you’re getting worse every day

You are insane.

The divide isn’t ’caused’ by him; it is led by him. He’s the most disgusting, narcissistic, bully man-baby ever. Your video shows him throwing someone out of his little speech because they disagree with him – that is literally what division looks like.

That’s the most idiotic statement I’ve seen in awhile. Spineless boot licker.

Trump puts himself first. Always.
Never think for a second that he cares about what happens to anyone else.
He will lie about easily checked facts and then say he never said the things he said.
And you fall in line.

The divide is caused by you and your constant rhetoric of blame.

You’re a buffoon

Oh good lord! I think if another empty talking head uses that idiotic term TDS , I’m gonna have a stroke. Trump says something stupid & his mindless minions repeat it ad nauseam. Clearly you drank his kool aid. And realize that HE is the divisive factor in this country.

Last night made it crystal clear you’re out of touch with reality

Sure he’s not trying to be divisive. Just do exactly as he demands and then it won’t be divisive. If that is your spin I would hate to be your wife, child or friend. The my way or the highway doesn’t work in a democracy if 330,000,000 people.

Are you effing kidding me. You are perpetuating the divide with that rhetoric. Do you not understand what Trump is doing? He is all about numbers to make himself look good. This isn’t about America first. 70% of the people that have been sent to concentration camps are not criminals and none of them have been given due process. You’re OK with that? That tells me all I need to know about you and your Republican Party. You are just perpetuating the lies in the division. Wake the fuck up.
People are not putting illegal aliens first. And the lies about illegal aliens brutally attacking Americans or not paying their taxes, or getting away with fraud is all Trump lies. Apparently you have been drinking the Kool-Aid.

Oh, look! More fear mongering, lies and propaganda! Submit to the overlord or you’re the devil. He is the divider in chief and you are his puppet. Period.

I want my tariff money back

Who was it that promoted the birther theory? Quit with your lying republican propaganda

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 25, 2026]

Honestly, it’s shocking… that when 74 million Americans voted for America First border security, Democrats still choose illegal aliens over your safety.
ICE is fully funded. This shutdown is stupid. Stop choosing chaos over country, Americans see right through it.
[….]

Shocking.

Some of the responses:

ICE killed 2 US citizens and initially refused to investigate.
No name tags, no markings and no uniforms.
Not normal for police or a public agency.

BS

What kind of defilement? What disgusting and degrading thing did the 4th amendment force you to do that makes you hate it so much? You poor thing.

So let’s try to understand- we have millions to spend on concentration camps and thugs and suvs and motels for this secret police nonsense but heaven forbid that we may have given an illegal- who was actually working- a free meal?

==========

Where is a concentration camp? Tell us.

I hope you never see what a real concentration camp looked like. You do a disservice to every person that endured one by using your false comparison.

you need to do some research Nazis are associated with concentration camps. ICE is buying buildings to detain illegals until they are deported. QUIT lying

“What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process….”

They asked.

“No Human Being Is Illegal”

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 6
Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)

Article 16
Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

International covenant on civil and political rights.
Done at New York December 16, 1966.
Entered into force March 23, 1976; for the United States
September 8, 1992.

==========

Continuing:

Why not try to unite the country rather than always say how bad the other guy is? Is that helpful in any way?

==========

Mark, the issue is not about getting illegal aliens out. It’s the profiling, it’s arresting citizens, and most importantly the lack of dignity ICE gives to people. Everyone has a right to there day in court. Even illegals. It’s in the Constitution.

Illegals have no rights in our country

If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done had you lived in Germany in the 1930s, you’re doing it now.

==========

Are you still working to get a detention center in your district? Your constituents might have some opinions on that.

What color is the sky in your world Mark??

Brownshirt. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

What about funding for public education and addressing health care? Stop divisive political rhetoric and listen to ALL your constituents!

He’s been too busy going after all that concentration camp grift for the district.

Accountability and respecting citizen’s constitutional rights are non negotiable. You can’t spin this one.

Yet he still does.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

74 million is less than half of the total votes, so…

What’s shocking is that Republicans would rather keep the govt closed than DEMAND ICE FOLLOW LAWS and unmask. The corruption party twisting the facts, as usual.

News flash: Brown and black American children are Americans, too. You aren’t protecting them. You are terrorizing and traumatizing them.

==========

No, Democrats are choosing innocent people’s lives and the Constitution over your armed gestapo thugs

So, Mark……….how does it feel to be on Team Herod instead of Team Jesus?
What would have happened if ICE would have been in Egypt when Jesus’ family fled there? You and yours would have sent him back to Israel and certain death.
You and your cohorts must be super-proud to be Team Herod, right?

Good guys DON’T shoot a man in the BACK 10 times!!!

an armed obstructionist? Peaceful protesters don’t show up with loaded weapons. That was on him.

So, now the Second Amendment, The One True Amendment ®, isn’t worth shit?

===========

Guessing 74 million don’t feel the same after a year of reality 🤷🏼‍♂️🖕🏼

Heh. Well, at least some of them.

How about you complain more about the superbowl halftime show. At least that was entertaining to hear how dumb you are

Actually, Americans see right through Republicans condoning violence to citizens in the name of law and order to divert attention from your crooked pedophile leader.

It’s amazing that people voted for your snivelling little ass kissing self!
Back on the trail! Kissing Trumps ass more and more!

We see right through you…

If you really believe the stuff spewing from your mouth, I feel very sorry that you are too blind to see.

It is shocking that you lie about it.
Sad.
Weird.

Not surprising though.

Listen to Mark Alford, wow! He’s trying to convince people that passing that one. Stupid ass bill was good. Now we’re saying that what they totally funded for 4 years is a group that’s just terrorizing the country. Everybody needs to ask him, how are those shooting investigations coming. Yeah crickets!

SHUT UP you fucking moron – goddamn maga garbage

They’re not “aliens “. They are people, you pine cone.

Mark, you know that is a cynical spin of reality. Most Americans, democrat and republican, did and still support border control and removal of persons who entered the country illegal, focusing initially on the felonious and violent criminals. We do not support deporting families without due process who entered the country legally and have been dutifully pursuing the required steps to have their asylum claim adjudicated in an immigration court. We do not support the deportation of those who arrived here as children, because as Christians we do not believe they should be punished for the sins of their parents. We believe that any immigrant that served should be automatically made a citizen. Try telling the truth for the great majority of all Americans who agree on these basic concepts, instead of trying to divide us by inventing these mythical strawmen you love to demonize.

Your policies don’t put America first, they don’t increase border security, and they don’t help our safety. ICE officers are more likely to murder American citizens than undocumented immigrants are. Members of the Trump administration are more likely to rape Americans than undocumented immigrants are. These are matters of undeniable fact.

you know we can see through your bullshit….right?

In addition to killing US citizens on the streets, violating constitutional rights and being told by a Judge that they have violated 94 court orders in just one month, in just one state:
ICE agents are going to schools and trying to snatch children and teachers. They threw flash bangs and tear gas at a car not involved with any protest and caused an infant to stop breathing and 3 children to need to go to the hospital. They tackled a 17 year old US citizen at his job, threw him in a car and dumped him miles away crying and bleeding ppwithout his phone. They are reportedly breaking down doors without federal warrants and pulling fire alarms to flush out brown people. Think if that was your family and neighbors.

For some reason you have started showing up in my feed. And the only thing that makes me happy about that is reading the overwhelming number of comments that disagree with your awful leadership and divisive rhetoric. I’m wondering if you’ve actually noticed that yet?

“…We share our wisdom with those who seek it. It’s a life of quiet dignity…”

It’s shocking that fascist assholes who ignore due process and violate civil rights still post this bigoted crap.

you are an idiot 🙂

Who controls both houses of congress you fucktard?

I wish this asshole read these comments when he posts something stupid and hateful. But you know he doesn’t. He has no clue how decent people think and act.

Its called due process and doing it lawfully you cultist

What if I told you that Americans and lawfully-present immigrants were being detained, beaten, and killed by untrained masked thugs?
What if it was your kid, your neighbor, your parent?
Stop goosestepping and open your eyes, dude. The voters are about to open them for you.

Fuck you & the American Gestapo.

What’s shocking is that you guys are apparently not paying attention…this nonsense isn’t working anymore. We’re immune to this xenophobic virus of yours

Yes Mark Yes We Do see the chaos you all are causing. Spin it all you want.

Why do people believe anything from you? You didn’t work for a news agency before this, you worked for an entertainment network. You’ve never been required to be honest and you’re still not.

Peckerhead the big ugly bill took money from Medicaid to fund your secret police.

Spin doctor. Stirring up the masses to create confusion, which leads to frustration, and accelerates into conflict. This is a textbook example of poor leadership. Don’t buy it. My opinions are my own.

Americans see that Ice is overfunded, under trained and killing Americans. You’d do well to listen to your constituents.

You should stop posting. Lay low. Maybe people will forget about you and accidentally vote for you.

Mark. You’re a moron. Stop acting like the rest of us are too.

Clown

I don’t understand why Alford never answers ANY of the questions. That speaks volumes

We DID NOT vote for roving gangs of armed, masked thugs!

Stop. Just stop. Save your breath. No one’s buying it, Buddy.

Ok let me explain like the 8th grader you are. The Constitution give everyone rights. Follow the law and shut the fuck up.

You’re such a shitty liar.

He be a sycophant by his trade

4th Congressional District, former newsreader, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, sycophant, that ridiculous hat, Trump sycophant

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

This afternoon:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 20, 2026]

My statement on the Supreme Court Ruling on President Trump’s tarriffs:

“I wholeheartedly support President Trump’s efforts to advance a trade strategy that stops foreign countries from taking advantage of American workers, while supporting Missouri jobs, businesses, and consumers.

This SCOTUS decision does not eliminate all avenues for the President to pursue this strategy, and I look forward to working constructively with the Administration and my colleagues in Congress to identify other paths to further our shared goals.”

You mean “identify other paths” to raise taxes on the working class? What an asshole.

Some of the responses:

Sure buddy. Ruling by executive Fiat when you hold unified government control in a so-called historic voter mandate, is not weird at all. You guys haven’t totally invalidated your credibility moving forward. I’m sure the MAGA be fine for the next…what, 6 or 7 months?

This is why you should do things legally. IAW the laws not try and make everything an emergency.
You have congress let them do their job.

Congressman Mark Alford, here’s a serious question. Are your “colleagues in Congress” both parties or just those legislators who embrace MAGA?

“I fully support president Trump taxing the American people with no checks.” – Mark

Based on the text in this statement, here are the primary logical fallacies and rhetorical strategies being used:
* Begging the Question (Assuming the Conclusion): The statement assumes as fact that the specific trade strategy (the tariffs) actually does “stop foreign countries from taking advantage” and does “support Missouri jobs, businesses, and consumers.” It treats the intended goals of the policy as its guaranteed outcomes, without providing evidence that the tariffs actually achieve these positive results.
* Appeal to Emotion / Appeal to Patriotism: The language relies heavily on emotionally charged, patriotic framing. Phrases like “taking advantage of American workers” and “supporting Missouri jobs” are designed to evoke a strong protective and patriotic response, encouraging the reader to support the stance based on feeling rather than a detailed economic argument.
* Glittering Generalities: This statement uses universally appealing but vague concepts. Everyone generally wants to support local jobs and stop workers from being taken advantage of, making it hard to disagree with the sentiment, even if the specific underlying policy (which was just ruled on by the Supreme Court) is controversial or legally flawed.
* Evasion (Pivoting): While responding to a Supreme Court ruling (which presumably struck down or limited the tariffs), the statement completely avoids addressing the actual legal or constitutional reasons for the SCOTUS decision. Instead of engaging with the facts of the ruling, it immediately pivots to “identifying other paths.” Rhetorically, this downplays a potential defeat by reframing it merely as a temporary obstacle.
In essence, this is a classic political spin statement: it glosses over the specifics of a legal setback by doubling down on the emotionally appealing goals of the original policy.

Heh. I just wrote the same thing, only with fewer words: “What an asshole.”

Congressman Mark Alford AKA Anchorman. I would like an answer to this question please: Who pays for the tariffs that Trump has implemented? Please tell me? Explain who pay’s tarrifs like your explaining it to a middle schooler. I’d like to see your answer.
This is an open question to a sitting member of congress that I’d like to hear you answer in a public forum. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Why do they still not understand that the price of the tariffs is paid by the companies in our country and passed on to the consumers IN OUR COUNTRY!!!! Sheesh! And as I said before, you Mr. Alford, are a fool!

Congressman Mark Alford The constitution is clear: it’s YOUR JOB to levy taxes, not the President’s job.
By supporting his illegal maneuver, you are violating your oath.
Do better. Also, make the rich pay their fair share before levying taxes on lower and middle class folks. We will not stand for another round of taxes on imports.
Our trade deficit is higher than ever, our currency is plummeting, and our debt is skyrocketing. You call that a good thing?
Get bent.

Tariffs are taxes on American taxpayers.

Oh, here’s one. Maybe Congress could set tariffs…. like the Framer’s intended in the Constitution. If Congress would start doing its job we wouldn’t have to rely on the Supreme Court to check the Executive Branch all the time. After paying thousands to cover Donald Trump’s illegal tariffs and not being rich enough to benefit from his tax cuts (or among the suckers he’s trying to buy off by exempting a fraction of their income–while driving up the costs of the consumer goods they purchase)… I’d appreciate a Congressman who represented my interests instead of Donald Trump’s.

The President’s response was an across the board tax increase of 10% on hard working Americans importing or consuming imported goods.
Do you support this tax increase?

When do we get our $1000 back?

Tariffs = Higher Costs for the Average American and that is a Fact, it’s always been a Fact, you can’t spin this any other way .

When you don’t have a label identifying you as a doormat.

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

They were illegal from the start. You should know that being a member of congress 🤡

Congressman Mark Alford the SCOTUS decision is about law and the constitution, something you don’t seem to understand or care about.

How do you still have a job?

Are you really still asking us to believe that tariffs are not a tax on the American people, and that other countries are the ones paying the tariffs, not us?????

Trump: “I can do anything I want to do to them … I’m allowed to destroy the country.”
Alford springs to his feet in applause and shouts please sir may I help.

Do you know how tariffs work, Mark? I truly don’t think you know how anything works.

Hey Missouri 04 constituents, your elected representative supports increase in taxes on you the consumer, you the small business owner. Vote him out in November.

So. In other words you fully support Trump even to the extent of harming your constituents with illegal “sales taxes”. Coffee is 50% higher than it was a year ago, with fewer ounces per canister. Our farmers have lost essential trading partners. Your “Liberation Day” cheering was a huge mistake, and after the SUPREME court made a correct and well considered ruling, you just want to double down. Read the ruling again, and think carefully before you agree to further taxation of your constituents. How about making a plan to give us all a refund of those illegal tarriffs instead. It’s time congressional GOP take on the responsibilties assigned to you in the Constitution. That is where your loyalty belongs, not to the bully wanna be king in the White House.

Of course Alford backs Trump. National sales tax. Regressive. And stupid. The congressman is not a genius. Glib, but glibness does not imply intelligence.

You’re such an ass kisser

So you’re ok with the middle class picking up the bill for billionaires? God, November can’t come soon enough. You gotta go.

You’re an idiot

Ah, yes. The America Alone strategy. You propaganda hacks obviously have not understood that other countries already are diverting away from doing trade with the US. Welcome to reality. You are making the country poorer.

Maybe you should take an economics class, so you learn how tariffs work! In fact maybe you should take a Constitution class so you learn how the government works too, since you are clueless on both fronts.

“I fully support an authoritarian president unilaterally imposing massive new taxes on American citizens with no real rhyme or reason and no approval from congress.”
– A batshit crazy statement no Republican would have ever made prior to the party being taken over by the MAGA crazies.

A non-staement. Typical. Find new ways to hurt your constituents and the economy.

Looks like you’re on the wrong side of history. See you at the midterms.

You are literally fighting for Trump over Missouri farmers.

“….If you tie a judicial warrant to what ICE is doing, it will never happen….”

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Rep. Mark Alford: “If you tie a judicial warrant to what ICE is doing, it will never happen”
[….]

1:40 PM · Feb 16, 2026

Some of the responses:

Representative Alford has become an accessory after the fact.

That darn pesky Constitution. It’s almost like it was designed and amended to protect rights and freedoms.

This is like OpenAI saying they can’t make money if they can’t steal.

Another “constitutional conservative” who stopped reading after the Second Amendment

And yet somehow the Obama and Biden administrations were able to make it work. 🤔

Literally making the point he’s missing. That’s pretty talented.

It still staggers me that an American legislator — you know, one of the dudes and dudettes who take the oath to protect and defend the Constitution — just say this sort of heresy on air. ICE’s mission is incompatible with the Constitution. Huh, what’s the “Supreme law of the land “?

Somebody needs to give this guy a copy of the Constitution, with the 4th amendment highlighted.

Hey Alford! Don’t like the need for judicially-authorized warrants based on probable cause for searches & seizures? Take it up with the drafters of the 4th Amendment. Or try to repeal it & see where THAT gets you. What a f’ing moron. Seriously, this comment is disqualifying.

Exhibit #5,464,356, your Honor. In the People vs. The Fascist Regime

So, in plain English, your goal is to break the law.

He is SO CLOSE to figuring this out.

If you tie the Constitution to it, it will be unconstitutional

They seem utterly incapable of grasping the implications of what they’re saying.

“Yeah, that old Bill of Rights just keeps getting in the way of our authoritarianism.”

Then it shouldn’t happen.

This is only complicated because people like this dickbag insist on being fascist fucks.

Maybe Mark Alford should tell us how he’d feel if federal officers kicked down his front door on their own volition just because someone said he was harboring in his house anyone the govt. wanted…even citizens who committed crimes, He disagrees with the 4th amendment? (freedom from illegal searches)

“allegations of abuse of these warrants”? We watched them kick in the door of an elderly man and drag him out in his underwear. They didn’t even have a warrant. These passive voiced questions are bs.

How he qualified, “lied about, an American citizen…”
“Different quarterback”? So it is a game

Once they’ve accustomed us to “no judicial warrants cuz they’s furriners,” it’ll be easier for them to get us to accept no judicial warrants cuz they’s, oh, whatever group is out of favor today, furrin or not.

They’ve talked themselves into this. Now their focus is talking US into it.

One might argue that it should not be happening if it cannot happen within the rule of law.

If it cannot comply with the rule of law, it is an illegal action.

The ‘duh’ is silent by heavily implied.

It’s literally in the fucking constitution.

That means it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

This isn’t difficult to understand, even for this lil guy.

“It” here means: breaking the law and violating the constitution, so yeah…. Sounds good.

The Founders are rolling over in their graves.

So he’s saying their cases are such BS they couldn’t meet the requirements to get a real warrant? And instead of requiring them to meet the minimal Constitutional standard, he just wants to let them have at it, Constitution be damned? Huh.

He isn’t making the statement that he thinks he is.

How very fascist.

“If we can’t do illegal shit we won’t be able to do the shit we’re doing” is a really weird defense.

So judicial warrants (which have been required for a long time and I’m fairly certain follow the laws of the Constitution) are too much trouble to get???

WTF???

In the clip, Alford says that no ICE agents lied about a shooting involving an American citizen, just about a Venezuelan. That is completely false as ICE agents lied about the situation around the shooting of American citizen Marimar Martinez.
[….]

When your best argument is “judges wouldn’t allow us to violate people’s rights” and “they reached a (nonexistent) agreement”, you’re losing.

Alford is full of shit

Funny, I don’t recall the Fourth Amendment saying “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…unless we feel like it.”

That’s pretty the goal when you make something unconstitutional, you ignorant dipstick

Thats how the law works, fuckface.

I’ve heard better arguments from a 4 year old.

You’ll do as you’re told or Tom Homan will eat your cats and dogs

We see what you did there.

It’s amazing how quickly the media has accepted violations of multiple amendments as normal. The entire GOP state media apparatus is pushing this absurdity.

They can be putting immigrants in ovens and the media would still refuse to push back.

Fuck them all. Burn them all to the fucking ground.

Yeah, that’s the point of the fucking constitution! Ever heard of it?

House GOP launches Bad Bunny probe: ‘Worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction’
by David Edwards
February 10, 2026 9:57AM ET

Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) revealed that House Republicans are “investigating” Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show….

[….]

“We are still investigating this. There’s a lot of information that has come out about the lyrics,” Alford said. “I saw the halftime show, and we’re switching back and forth with the TPUSA halftime show. They, the lyrics from what we have seen, from Bad Bunny are very disturbing.”

“And if it holds true that the, you know, I don’t speak fluent Spanish, okay?” he continued. “These lyrics, if it is true, what was said on national television, we have a lot of questions for the… entities that broadcast this, and we’ll be talking with Brendan Carr from the FCC about this.”

“But this is, this could be much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Let’s put it that way.”

Clown.

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are “investigating” Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn’t watch the whole thing & also doesn’t know Spanish but suspects it might have been “much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction”

Some of the comments:

LooooooooooL

These people are clowns.

And they are straight up clowning their constituents.

A bunch of culture war morons.

In other news he also plans to get to the bottom of those Louie Louie lyrics.

Also if you play Bad Bunny backwards you can clearly hear him invoke Satan.

What a bunch of pathetic, butthurt idiots. How about they investigate Kid Rock’s lyrics and his inability to mime?

Congressional governance has devolved into bad theater. Nothing of substance, nothing important. Just political buskers, doing their outrage hustle for corporate donations.

It’s fucking PATHETIC.

Can someone please ask him how much this investigation will cost the tax payers, and what is the legislative purpose? Just a simple reminder that his job is not to produce sound bites.

Does he mean they’re watching it over and over again? Meanwhile Caligula lives in the White House.

They talk like it has to be decoded like the Enigma machine

What do they “suspect” he said? No one they know speaks Spanish?

“Chinga La Migra”

So they are complaining about lyrics that they cannot define but insist cannot be said in English?

These racist Republicans are dumb as rocks.

Well we certainly don’t want to be worse than the “Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction”. We especially don’t want Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction in Spanish

Who are these people?

“…You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”

This is what the folks in Congress do with the small amount of time they spend doing their job. I’m fairly certain constituents would prefer they work on more pressing matters, such as healthcare, job creation, immigration reform, affordable housing, almost anything else but this.

[….] watching these four confused morons try to fabricate potentially nefarious actions committed, simply because they didn’t understand the language being spoken is low key hilarious.

Of course he is from Missouri…..

Just when we thought things couldn’t get dumber…

WTF are they gonna “investigate”? How severe their poor feefees were hurt.

Didn’t watch it. Didn’t understand it. I hope he can somehow overcome his horror at what happened. Perhaps therapy or a long walk in the woods.

There’s no fixing this level of stupid.🤡

It’s too bad there’s no way to ever figure out what someone said in Spanish.

We didn’t understand them but we are really offended by the lyrics.

Oh for the love of God. They’re RIDICULOUS

“El pueblo no aguanta má’ injusticia’
Se cansó de tus mentira’ y de que manipulen las noticia'”
– B.Bunny

Another “I didn’t watch it but I hear it was a message of unity so I will spend taxpayer money to discredit it.”

Is this your guy Alford?

Young ladies, young ladies
I like ’em underage, see
Some say that’s statutory
But I say it’s mandatory

– Kid Rock lyrics to Cool, Daddy Cool

The unabashed racism truly is something to behold

These are extremely unserious people who are deeply disturbed.
Also remember that every accusation from these folks is either a projection or a confession.
I wonder what Mr. Alford does in his spare time?

As Bugs Bunny says “What a maroon”.

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 27, 2026]

Let’s be clear: In America, we welcome LEGAL immigrants who strengthen our nation. What we don’t welcome is chaos, lawlessness, and politicians shielding criminal illegal aliens.

Minnesota is an example of failed leadership and open-border policies. The American people voted for enforcement, not anarchy.
[….]

Some of the responses:

This is racism at its worst! 2000 FE 26 and we’re still dealing with this BS! If any of these politicians had any balls they would be up there on the hill screaming and yelling!!! Crickets…..

This is not who we are. Im disappointed you are not one of us.

Those ICE agents are harassing people purely based on skin color and accents – it’s not about criminals.
People do support deporting violent criminals.. we don’t support the way immigration is currently being approached. Stop the chaos and the violence from ICE agents.
Do you know how to be honest ever?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

apparently he does not, sold his soul.

we need to make a concerted effort to remove and replace the liars. So tired of the gaslighting and propaganda. They are destroying our country.

Congressman Mark Alford your Pinocchio nose grows with each new pandering post your consultants who run your social media accounts post in your name.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has repeatedly pointed out that his city has one of the lowest immigrant populations that lack all of the required documentation to be granted residency. I recall the number to be less than 2% of the immigrant population.
You are just parroting Talking points, but seem to be a little behind. Trump is reducing ICE agents out of Minnesota after the state sponsored murder of 2 US citizens.
#ResistFascism
#ImpeachNoem
A round of applause for the citizens of Minneapolis! True patriots and an inspiration to all democracy loving Americans.

Do you endorse when ICE agents clap with enthusiasm after gunning down someone in the street?

another one said, “it’s like call of duty. Pretty cool, huh?”

Yet anarchy is what this administration has given us!! We know what we see with our own eyes!!

If we supposedly welcome legal immigrants, why is ICE showing up at courthouses across the country to arrest immigrants going through the legal process?

Good question.

So why is Ice grabbing people outside of court houses who are there for immigration hearings? Aren’t they trying to do it the right way?

Then why are people being arrested and deported from their immigration hearings?

Did you see the video of ICE murdering the VA nurse in the middle of the street? Are you good with that? How about when everyone in the administration lied about it? Good with that? Seems pretty dangerous Mark. That’s two US citizens murdered and no investigation so far.

No you don’t, and no it isn’t!

No Democratic politician nor state has EVER promoted or legislated having open borders.

When do we invade Texas and open investigations into their Governor?

If you welcome legal immigrants than why are your Nazi goons arresting those here legally, like the 5 year old boy in the bunny hat. His parents entered legally at a port of entry and have a legal asylum case on going?

I think protecting US citizens from being murdered by the government should be top priority.

Then why is ICE terrorizing & detaining legal immigrants???

And how many criminals & fraudsters has Trump pardoned ?? Congressman Mark Alford. Sit down – your fascism is showing!!!

You know Mark it’s so funny how previous administrations have been able to deport hundreds of thousands of people who were here illegally without shooting Americans. without tear-gassing people .what are you going to do when ICE brings their Stormtroopers to Kansas City? I’m all about legal immigration I think it’s a great plan I think we need to make it easier for people to come to this country our current system is completely broken but having a bunch of armed thugs shooting people is insanity

What you welcome is an organization whose specific function is to intimidate and terrorize neighborhoods. No one is protesting immigration laws. They are protesting against your American Gestapo. They are protesting because you are a Nazi and if you don’t want to be called a Nazi, I suggest you stop acting like one.
Get out your waders, folks. The bullshit’s getting deep here!

In America we also expect those involved in upholding the law to actually follow the law. From the top of the DOJ down to any agents in the field. Sadly, they are all letting us down. And, if you support this you are to blame.

Congressman Mark Alford saying people voted for federal agents to murder people?

This isn’t law enforcement. It never was. Neither is it about immigration. If it were about immigration, then ICE would be focused on Texas and Florida. Rather, this about a government agency creating chaos to distract from other issues like the Epstein files, the economy, Ukraine, etc. I am saddened that you can’t see that. You’ve lost my vote.

Wow.
This invasion of Minnesota by 3000 ICE AGENTS has nothing to do with immigration. This is an intimidation tactic.
Ask why there aren’t 3000 immigration agents in TEXAS…A state with nearly 2 million undocumented residents.

Fix the long wait times and stop arresting those that finally get hearings! Quit firing immigration judges and staff! It takes forever just to get a green card, and costs way too much!

Either you’re naive, stupid, or amoral because y’all have been going after immigrants who followed the rules. Oh and DHS did execute 2 US citizens. And you speak like this.

All three.

Congressman Mark Alford this is not what people voted for. I didn’t vote for racism/racial profiling and I didn’t vote for American citizens and green card holders to be abused and killed by the federal government. Every other President from W Bush to now has been able to use ICE to deport people without this violence and flagrant abuse of power.

“What we don’t welcome is chaos, lawlessness, and politicians shielding criminal illegal aliens.” Yet, you support Donald Trump? Makes no sense.

Do we? Cause we are arresting them at their hearings. you’re lying to our faces. How do you sleep at night?

Chaos by the Republicans you mean.

Mr. Alford, I will not forget your town hall message to your constituents, who had just lost their federal jobs, that “god has a plan for you.” Extremely crass and insensitive from people who are paying your salary. Saying this, from your privileged position, is such a pompous, nasty thing to say. Despicable. Now I read in the KC Star that you are supporting a concentration camp in Missouri. What are you thinking? Please resign.

How many of the immigrants that have been dragged from their cars, their jobs, their homes have been going through all the legal steps that are required to become citizens? It is amazing to me that you think we are so stupid that we don’t know what you and MAGA are doing. This is not about immigration. It’s about elimination of people of color. It’s racist and it’s wrong.

Hey Alford, how about explaining the steps for immigrants to become citizens like we’re kindergarteners.
PS: We know you don’t know.

Damn did you just shit yourself? I can smell it from my house. Way too much shit coming out of you.

I laughed my butt off at you last night when you said your people came from England “the right way.”
In other words, Einstein, they showed up and didn’t have TB?

Let’s be clear, ICE is causing the anarchy in MN and laughing about it!

ummm that’s a lie and you know it. legal immigrants are being arrested and deported daily.

Why do we not see ICE going after the EMPLOYERS of the illegal immigrants?

So you support masked murdering thugs. Good to know congressman.

What we didn’t vote for was allowing former playground bullies to be armed and turned loose on public streets to terrify and murder our citizens. I suggest you go back to your old job because you really suck at your current one!

The presence of ice goons is far for more dangerous than any immigrants. Ice goons are shooting and murdering HUMAN BEINGS. And you are evil, nasty, un-American creature soaking it all up and rolling around in it.

“Abolish ICE, America’s Gestapo”

Stop killing people and acting like thugs. If agents knew how to conduct themselves without being violent and, shockingly, actually followed the law, maybe things would be different.

If only Mark would see these comments! He doesn’t care.

Do us all a favor and just quit

I didn’t vote for this.

Do you ever stop spewing bull💩?

WTF is wrong with you. ICE is arresting LEGAL immigrants everyday. They have legal status and yet they are locking them up. They are snatching them from court proceedings that are facilitating the process. They are doing what WE TOLD THEM TO DO. They are doing things the right way and ICE agents are laying in wait. The gaslighting is extreme.

Y’all are snatching people up at the courthouse while they’re they’re for their immigration appointments. Please stop acting like we’re idiots. It’s insulting.

I think you are extremely confused.

It is my opinion that ICE personnel are armed…with ample ammunition…they intimidate citizens, attack in groups and assault and kill innocent citizens. I think that is domestic terrorism…plain and simple. Sending thousands of armed troops into SELECT American cities IS NOT acceptable to anyone with a brain and heart. It’s not America.

It is now.

Then why are citizenship ceremonies being postponed and cancelled? Why are green cards and student visas being revoked for no cause?…

Give me a break! This is the CHAOS administration. Every day, chaos. Every day. And that’s from the top!

Where oh where did you leave your conscience?

You are really a CLOWN

MN is an example of a government murdering its own citizens when they choose to protest.

In America, we also don’t welcome a poorly trained, overagressive, paramilitary, armed goon squad that answers only to the president operating with “absolute immunity” gunning down US citizens.

Legal immigrants.
Except for the legal Somali immigrants. Except for the immigrants from South America. Except for those from Mexico. Except for any brown immigrants.
But yes to white South Africans!

We didn’t vote for murder

Really? Remember when ICE forced their way into his home? He’s been an American citizen for decades, who asked his daughter to get his identification. ICE officers refused it, while his 4 year old grandson cried. An elderly man, taken in his underwear, while his neighbors cried.
You brought this chaos, Mark Alford .
Thankfully he’s back home, but ICE terrorized this man, his family, and neighbors.

An ICE warning:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 23, 2026]

⚠️Hey MO-04, a major winter storm is expected to move across much of the country starting today, followed by dangerous extreme cold next week.
Heavy snow, ice, power outages, and hazardous travel are possible. Please prepare now:
✔️ Avoid unnecessary travel [….]
✔️ Charge devices & prep emergency kits [….]
✔️ Check on neighbors & seniors [….]
✔️ Monitor local weather updates
Stay safe, stay warm, and look out for one another. [….]❄️

Some of the responses:

Volunteer at a warming shelter for the unhoused.
Ignore that BS about needing an ID. If your human and your cold come on in. Grab something hot to eat and a cot to sleep on.

You forgot eat well: One chicken leg….a piece of broccoli…a taco shell and ?? (something).

for the low price of $3 😂

Yes! We must protect one another from ICE! 🥰

Is ted Cruz going to cancun during this storm as well

Time to sharpen our ice picks, scrapers and fire up the flame thrower. Practice melting ice.

Explain how closing FEMA will help the recovery efforts.

Thank you. You have finally told the truth. Now mobilize the resources to protect the lives of your constituents.

It’s so reassuring to know that if needed, 1000 FEMA first responders have or will be fired this month by the Trump administration. Thanks Mark!

Well, since Trump decimated the national weather service it’s a good thing you stepped up and told us

🙄 seriously? we didn’t know 😵‍💫

You are SO confused about what your job is. You seem to think you are a pastor on Sundays, you thought you were a local travel advisor while you refused to show up in legislative session, you keep forgetting you are no longer a TV anchor the way you run and stand before any camera with a red light and now you think you are a meteorologist. Or are you just auditioning for your post-congressional job? Good to know that you realize you’re going to need one.
[….]

Yep Fu*k ICE

“Fuck Ice”

Really? Thanks for the heads up, douchebag.

You are on the wrong side Mark

From news presenter to U.S “Representative” to want-to-be preacher to now weatherman? Just retire already.

Are the chem-trails causing this, Mark? QAnon says so. ✈️🛩️

Clap louder.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 20, 2026]

One year in — and America is back. [….]
Secure borders. Safer communities. Lower costs. Stronger paychecks.
Manufacturing is growing, energy is booming, and Missouri families are getting real relief.
From our farms and factory floors to Whiteman AFB and Fort Leonard Wood, the Fourth District is seeing results.
[….]

Some of the responses:

This is satire, right? RIGHT?!

no. He’s a Josh Hawley wannabe.

Where is he living? Not Missouri. None of that sounds familiar.

Mark Alford Can you tell me if there are any plans to change the allocation of congressional seats based on US citizens only? It seems to me it would change immigration and sanctuary cities policies immediately. There would be no advantage to having non-citizens in your district? It seems so simple on the surface.

But morons would remain, so there’s that.

Congressman Mark Alford what is this relief you are talking about? I’m Paying more for almost everything. Meanwhile we are on the verge of possibly two wars and a president who has no checks or balances. DO YOUR JOB!

And the moon IS made of cheese!

AmeriKKKa!!

Words and reality are different.

You do excellent fan fiction.

Lots of rhetoric, no numbers. As our math teachers used to say, “show your work”

How’s that kool-aid?

People can say anything but it certainly not make it true!!! Word Salad

Literally none of these things is true.

Well hello puppet

Even Dr Seuss knew what the slogan “America First” actually meant…
[….]

lol country is on fire and on the brink of civil war, other countries having serious conversations about an escalation with trump over wanting to invade Greenland. Inflation still prevalent and innocent Americans are getting harassed, detained and even murdered. Yea he’s doing great.

Its back alright. Back to the chaos and inept leadership of the first term. Back to having a pedophile attempting to run the country. Back to the grift of the billionaire welfare queens. Back to the feckless Republican congress checking their balls at the coat room so a whiney little unqualified man can be the center of attention on a world stage. Back to top donors and C-list celebrities making up the cabinet who are as inept as Trump. Back to running the country into the ditch just like he did when he left after his first term. Back to the constant lying and complete lack of integrity by him, and, by people who are constantly simping for him. So, yeah, you are right. America is back.

Safer communities if you dont have an accent. Lower costs unless youre trying to buy anything except for gasoline. Stronger paychecks but the dollar is down 10%. Manufacturing is booming but we had a net loss of Manufacturing jobs in 2025. Energy is booming but utility bills are increasing at their highest pace ever

What planet do you live on?

Back to what? Imperialism?

Haha…funny satire site.

What planet is this guy living on. lol. Come hang with me for a day. See the real America.

If I asked your constituents, would they agree? I’m guessing no.

What costs are lower? You have an altered sense of reality

Hi soul-seller, how are things in quisling-ville?

Can you hear yourself talk? Check today’s stock market.

There’s that.

Lower costs? What are you smokin?

Yes Sir I am seeing the damn results!
My health insurance monthly premiums have more than doubled almost tripled. You need to look for a new job because you are bad at this one!!!

You are such a sycophant.

only in your own little mind and trumps mind. You can not say with a straight face things are better. Your President has caused more harm than good. People are having to decided to buy medicine or grocery, and what bill to pay. Things have not turned around, things are not better. You take big corp money, you do not listen to your constituents want, you’re on your own agenda. NO ONE Believes you!!

Grow a set you coward.

The koolaid must be delicious mark. If ice is around no one feels safe. My wages havent gone up nor am I bringing more groceries home for less money. my health ins prem, thru my work has gone up. We are looking at potentially WW3, while Trump spouts off about removing a drug dealing dictator then pardoning convicted drug dealers if they pay him. Then of course the Trumpstein files…. Whenever Bondi & Blanches goons complete the redactions🤔
Yeah Mark murica is great 😫

What a crock! Does he think we are idiots?! Delusional!

Back to what? We are a divided country that is ready for a civil war amongst ourselves. How much more can this country take? You are part of the problem Mark. Do your job Mark and impeach little Donnie before it gets worse

You can’t possibly believe the nonsense that you’re speaking. 🙄

Are you literally nuts??? The president is!! 25th amendment!! NOW!!! Grow a spine!!!

You sir, are not an honorable man.

You support a pathological liar who is in a state of obvious cognitive decline. His presser today was unhinged and deranged, a real shitshow, kind of like the Legislative Branch who seems to have no spine or principals. He is surrounded by sycophants who have lost their moral clarity running roughshod over the Constitution. Enact Amendment 25 and release the EPSTEIN files now.

Relief?! You morons have practically set the world on fire! Nothing feels safe. Unbelievable

How much is Putin paying you?

Pure propaganda. Nothing but tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and weaponizing a law enforcement group to terrorize citizens made up of pardoned convicts who hate our democracy. You and Sam Graves are pathetic. Planning on attending any upcoming ribbon cutting ceremonies at projects paid for by Biden’s infrastructure bill that you voted against claiming to now be a supporter of?

The fearless leader is stark raving mad and you should know it.

Imagine being this out of touch with reality

How can you POSSIBLY believe this?

You fool.

What a dumbass

Do your results include the “Board of thieves”? A bunch of pariah countries paying a billion dollars to trump. What’s your cut?

Congressman Mark Alford, your post could be entitled “Mark’s Favorite Fairytales.”
Wall Street has been steadily closing low since Trump announced his intention to buy or take by force Greenland a NATO ally coupled with his threats of additional tariffs.
Renee Nicole Good is dead. She was shot by an ICE agent in the head, arm, and twice in the chest as she attempted to leave on their orders.
ICE continues to breakdown the doors of homes with no judicial warrant and make arrests with no judicial warrant.
The Minnesota elected officials who want ICE which is less law enforcement and more paramilitary out of Minnesota are being subpoenaed and investigated but the ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good is not being investigated.
While the price of gas is down the prices of all other products are higher. Prices overall have gone up by 2.7%. Most of this is linked to Trump’s tariffs.
The unemployment rate is over 4% which is the highest in four years. This is due to businesses unwilling to expand and hire more workers based on the uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariffs.
We are indeed seeing “results” but not good results.
Don’t you ever get tired of holding Trump’s coat?

You are delusional.

You are a goddamn fucking liar.

I think I will work to become a politician. It’s too hard to make money in the private sector of this country. Then just as the rest I will look down on the people from my crystal palace and make them promises I never intend to keep. Oh wait I cannot do that because I care about the American people, sure wish all these self absorbed crooks in government weren’t there screwing us!

Mark, what can congress do to prevent the Chinese exploiting birth right citizenship? They are planting here to give birth, sending the child back to China for CCP upbringing and they come back to the US, to vote and eventually take over.
The war within.

Should not have sharp objects on their person nor dispense their own medication…

Farmers are going broke, he gave Argentina 40 billion dollars so they could undercut the American farmers and sell their grain to China, he put in an agriculture secretary who doesn’t know a corn cob from a hogs ass, now he wants to give the farmers 11 billion dollars as a bail out, but guys like you and every Republican in congress are going to kiss his ass because you have no spine

Funny. Having those masked kidnappers in the streets shooting innocent people, attacking pregnant women and even kidnapping US citizens does not make me feel safe in the least bit. I dont think us Americans signed up to be profiled because of the color of our skin. I know I sure as hell didn’t. And I also know I didnt vote to have a pedophile run this country. But yeah. You keep saying that this country is safer. You are just as delusional as #TemuHitler in D.C is😒

Congressman Mark Alford, put simply, You are an Asshole!

Gestapo in our streets murdering citizens, including infants. The cost of living is going higher every day. We still don’t have $2.00 a gallon gas. But we do have ground beef costing $9.00 a pound. American troops have attacked a sovereign nation and kidnapped their president. Don’t tell us it’s about the drugs. The administration hasn’t cared about the Venezuela drugs now that they have the oil. All this because Trump doesn’t want anyone seeing the Epstein files.

Are you even human? Do you have an original thought?

You do believe this crap you post?

How about you quit lying to us and gaslighting us? America is not back! We are NOT safer! What is wrong with you? Oh yeah, you’re not very smart, are you? But you know what crap is going on in DC, don’t you. YOU KNOW!

How stupid are you?

This entire message is one big lie.

Manufacturing jobs in Missouri are down in 2025. This economy is not roaring anywhere but down the drain.

What America are you living in!?!

Are you kidding me. Do you really think the American people are stupid?

This is garbage

Take a look at our country, its pure chaos, & it’s spreading all over the world! This is todays E-Mail message from taco to all the maga republicans, so they post the same message claiming we are doing great! More brainwashing for the cult.

Donald Trump belongs in an insane asylum. These are not the words of a man with a properly functioning brain. These are snippets of half-remembered memories being filtered through a slowly dying mind.
Recall the breathless, wall-to-wall coverage that the mainstream media ran on Joe Biden’s cognitive state. Now we have a president yammering on about God knows what, visibly confused, while threatening to invade Greenland as his masked goons murder innocent Americans in the street and there’s hardly a peep. Enough is enough. It’s time that this lunatic was removed from power and shipped off to a facility to rot in peace.

You forgot you hood you worthless bigot

To 1940’s Germany? You’re a garbage human Mark.

Not believing a word.

America is back where? Into another World War? Back to having the KKK in the streets?

And YOU? You haven’t done shit! Healthcare? Unaffordable! Housing? Unaffordable! Electricity? Unaffordable! streets? Unsafe! Quit spinning and do your job!

What planet are you from? I can’t afford health care and feed my family and all Trump can think about is Greenland

Not safer communities and not lower costs. You are delusional 🤦‍♀️

What a joke! Guess you don’t buy groceries?

Your idol is a deranged racist maniacal lunatic

Bullshit and lies. Do people actually believe this shit?? Surely they’re not this dumb…… oh wait 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they are this dumb.

You know we have eyes and bank accounts right ?
The things you are saying are verifiably false.

Stronger paychecks? You must be talking about the 1.4 BILLION Trump has made since he took office. As long as your Fuhrer is making money, it’s all good for the bottom 90% to go broke.

How do you lie with such a straight face?

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???
