Desperate for some sort of relevance, eh? You can smell it.

Jack Danforth wants to find an independent candidate to run for U.S. Senate in Missouri
A candidate who shuns partisanship would have ‘a lot of resources’ for campaign, former Senator says
BY: RUDI KELLER – FEBRUARY 18, 2022 6:58 PM

[…]

“So much depends on touching the better angels of our nature and that is what the campaign would be about,” Danforth said.

Better angels?

Clarence Thomas (r). Josh Hawley (r). Actions, not words. We remember what Jack Danforth (r) did.

There is no such thing as a “moderate” republican.

We rest our case.

Yesterday from Roy Blunt (r):

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Over the last 2 years, Congress has provided more than $80 billion for the administration to improve & expand COVID-19 testing capabilities. Congress, and the American people, need to know the administration’s strategy & how @HHSgov is using taxpayer funding.
11:12 AM · Jan 4, 2022

“Over the last 2 years…”

Joe Biden was sworn in as President on January 20, 2021, less than twelve months ago.

On March 18, 2021, nine months ago, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Xavier Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The vote was 50-49.

Vote Summary
Question: On the Nomination (Confirmation: Xavier Becerra, of California, to be Secretary of Health and Human Services)
Vote Number: 125
Vote Date: March 18, 2021, 11:59 AM
Required For Majority: 1/2
Vote Result: Nomination Confirmed
Nomination Number: PN78-2
Nomination Description: Xavier Becerra, of California, to be Secretary of Health and Human Services
Vote Counts:
YEAs 50
NAYs 49
Not Voting 1

Blunt (R-MO), Nay

[emphasis added]

Roy Blunt (r) voted “No”.

What an asshole.

Some of the Twitter responses to Roy Blunt (r):

Suddenly, you’re so concerned.
[….]

We noticed that, too.

Were you worried in summer 2020 when we learned Jared Kushner spent tax payer $ on test kits and held them back? I had covid in July 2020 and waited in line 5 days in a row for 2 hours a day to get a test. We still don’t have an answer about where those tests went? Why?

Isn’t this a state problem? Isn’t the money sent to them to manage this??

Mike Parson (r). He’s not concerned.

Isn’t this where MO AGO sues? How is a mask mandate considered “government control” but suing school districts and county health to prohibit masks not “government control”?

There is a test shortage because Republicans refuse to get vaccinated. According to Gallup, 40% of Republicans “don’t plan” to get vaccinated, versus 26% of Independents and just 3% of Democrats. Use your voice to convince Republicans to get vaccinated.

What happened, Roy? Didn’t get a cut you were expecting? Your state fights protection measures in court, & distorts test/case results. Biden is ramping tests up mega-fold. If people would get vaxxed & practice safety measures, we wouldn’t need so many tests. Help w/ solutions

Republicans were in charge the first year. The only plan was the President’s son-in-law telling Governors to “work the phones.”

After Trump said stop testing? Parson says MO has a stock pile of tests. Where the hell are they? Might want to take a look at your party/cult.

Roy, the governor of the state you represent (but don’t live in) just washed his hands of Covid mitigation.

Meanwhile, we are again hitting unprecedented Covid infection rates. The ICUs are near capacity AGAIN.

Why not find out WHY our Governor is AWOL in this fight?

Because you are just a spectator in the government. Apparently

2 years ago?

Who was president then?

Well what does it matter our Governor says get it, deal with it, and what happens happens. Mo. from a GOP leadership perspective has no intention of doing anything to mitigate the virus anymore. Parsons says we’re GOOD, the kings have spoken so the commoners must submit.

Such chutzpah, Roy.

Never an original thought

Yesterday, the right wingnut talking point:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler
@RepHartzler
Biden pledged “unity” in January.

He has only created division, chaos, and crises.
[….]
2:11 PM · Dec 20, 2021

Some of the responses:

Remind me when did he invite a mob to attack the congress?

You left out the next bit of the quote “So, our message to every American is clear: There is action you can take to protect yourself and your family. Wear a mask in public indoor settings. Get vaccinated, get your kids vaccinated, and get a booster shot when you’re eligible.”

Didn’t you vote to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Congress?

And where is the sweet light of cooperation from you?

Sound of crickets.

Thanks so much for this remarkably helpful tweet. I’m sure that your constituents are thrilled to see efforts like this.

We’re pretty certain that’s supposed to be sarcasm.

Who do you think is paying for the surges in intensive hospital care that seem to be most acute in heavy conservative districts for some, inexplicable, reason?

And what, pray tell, are *you* doing by tweeting this? What are *you* doing to make things better? By the looks of your Twitter account…not much.

How do you bargain with people who try to kill you, planning to overthrow the government and define unity as ‘you do what I want while I obstruct what you want.’

Good points.

I don’t think telling the truth counts as creating division.

And what have you done for unity? I hear crickets.

Sound of crickets.

Only the @gop and folks could use the concept of and word “unity” to divide the nation so sadistically. It’s gaslighting over governing

The call is coming from inside the house.

We see what you did there.

He’s telling the truth. If you think that’s divisive or chaotic, that’s on you.

At what point in your life did you decide integrity and honor were traits you had no use for? Or did you simply never have any?

What are you doing to help…. I’ll wait.

…said the anchor tied around our ankles.

This is going really well for you. Care to double down? For laughs

Look in a damn mirror. You don’t care about unity. You are actively chiseling at the divide.

In response:

A few other responses:

Your guy literally set a record for golfing so much

Cool. Now tell us about January 6th. [….]

Tell us about the PowerPoint presentation.

It must be nice to have literally negative shame.

Congrats, @gop. This has to be some kind of world record for leaving yourself wide open. [….]

Ratio.

Maybe he will golf at one of his properties oh wait

Is he going golfing?

This is just a parody account at this point

That actually made us check.

You guys seems less interested in proclaiming the greatness of the economy based on stock market record highs and low unemployment numbers this year. Why is that?

There’s that.

The absolute lack of awareness in this tweet doesn’t even shock me [….]

No worries, he got his sharpie out and circled all the places the tornadoes didn’t hit.

We see what you did there.

Somebody for the love of God tell me this is The Onion.

It isn’t.

Is he golfing at a resort he owns? And charging the Secret Service?

Did he wear a tan suit?

Elephant in the room.

The lack of self awareness is comical

“…to ensure that the intellectual vitality of students and faculty is not infringed, the general assembly hereby enacts the following reform for history curricula used in schools and institutions of higher education in this state…”

Stack ’em and burn ’em. That’s next.

Bill prefiling for the Missouri General Assembly session started on December 1st.

Yet another bill, addressing a matter of great urgency for right wingnuts:

HB 1634
Prohibits the use of any curriculum implementing critical race theory in the public schools and institutions of higher education of the state.

Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2022

Last Action: 12/01/2021 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1634
Next House Hearing: Hearing not scheduled
Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

The bill language:

SECOND REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 1634
101ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE SEITZ.
3667H.01I DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapter 170, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to curricula
implementing critical race theory.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 170, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 170.353, to read as follows:

170.353. 1. In accordance with Article IX, Section 1(a) of the Missouri Constitution, which states that “A general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence being essential to the preservation of the rights and liberties of the people”, and to ensure that the intellectual vitality of students and faculty is not infringed, the general assembly hereby enacts the following reform for history curricula used in schools and institutions of higher education in this state.
2. As used in this section, “curriculum implementing critical race theory” includes, but is not limited to, any curriculum that:
(1) Identifies people or groups of people, entities, or institutions in the United States as inherently, immutably, or systemically sexist, racist, anti-LGBT, bigoted, biased, privileged, or oppressed; and
(2) Employs immutable, inherited, or typically continuing characteristics such as race, income, appearance, religion, ancestry, sexual orientation, or gender identity to:
(a) Perpetuate stereotypes; and
(b) Assign blame for societal problems or ills to categories of living persons based on any such stereotypes or characteristics; or
(3) Classifies persons into groups for the purpose of targeting only certain groups for education, formation, indoctrination, or viewpoint transformation, other than separation of students by biological sex where appropriate and conducive for state20 mandated sex education instruction.
3. For purposes of this section, curriculum implementing critical race theory includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) The 1619 Project initiative of the New York Times;
(2) The Learning for Justice Curriculum of the Southern Poverty Law Center;
(3) We Stories;
(4) Programs of:
(a) Educational Equity Consultants;
(b) BLM at School;
(c) Teaching for Change; or
(d) The Zinn Education Project; or
(5) Any other similar predecessor or successor curriculum.
4. No state department, school district, charter school, online instruction funded in any manner by the general assembly, or personnel or agent of such state department, school district, charter school, or online instruction shall teach, use, or provide for use by any pupil any curriculum, instructional material, or assignment designed to teach components of critical race theory as part of any curriculum, course syllabus, or instruction in any course or program of study.
5. (1) If the state board of education determines that a publicly funded local education agency or online program of instruction has violated this section, the board shall notify the entity of its violation.
(2) If such entity fails to comply with this section within thirty days of such notification, the state board of education shall direct the department of elementary and secondary education to withhold a maximum of ten percent of the monthly distribution of state formula funding to such entity. After the board determines that such entity is in compliance with this section, the department shall restore the distribution of the funding to its original amount before the percentage of the distribution was withheld.
6. (1) If the attorney general determines that a two-year or four-year institution of higher education that receives state moneys has violated this section, the attorney general shall notify the institution of its violation.
(2) If such institution fails to comply with this section within thirty days of such notification, the attorney general may direct the department of higher education and workforce development to withhold a maximum of ten percent of the distribution of state funding to such institution. After the attorney general determines that such institution is in compliance with this section, the attorney general shall notify the department to restore the distribution of state funding for the institution to its original amount before the reduction was made if any such funding was withheld.
7. This section shall not be construed to:
(1) Inhibit or violate the First Amendment rights of students or faculty;
(2) Undermine the duty of a public institution of higher education to protect intellectual freedom and free expression to the fullest degree; or
(3) Prevent a public institution of higher education from promoting racial, cultural, ethnic, intellectual, or academic diversity or inclusiveness, provided such efforts are consistent with the provisions of this section.

“…This section shall not be construed to…Inhibit or violate the First Amendment rights of students or faculty; Undermine the duty of a public institution of higher education to protect intellectual freedom and free expression to the fullest degree; or Prevent a public institution of higher education from promoting racial, cultural, ethnic, intellectual, or academic diversity or inclusiveness, provided such efforts are consistent with the provisions of this section…”

It does just that:

“…No state department, school district, charter school, online instruction funded in any manner by the general assembly, or personnel or agent of such state department, school district, charter school, or online instruction shall teach, use, or provide for use by any pupil any curriculum, instructional material, or assignment designed to teach components of critical race theory as part of any curriculum, course syllabus, or instruction in any course or program of study…”

What, we’re all stupid?

“…If such institution fails to comply with this section within thirty days of such notification, the attorney general may direct the department of higher education and workforce development to withhold a maximum of ten percent of the distribution of state funding to such institution…”

Must have left out the part about reeducation camps. That’ll get fixed with an amendment.

We see what you did there.

That’s a strange way to misspell cutting child poverty in half, 5.5 million new jobs in 9 months, a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, real environmental progress after 4 years of backtracking & corruption, and 200 million vaccines in arms. [….]

He wouldn’t know about Missiouri gas prices. He lives in Virginia but somehow serves in the Senate for Missiouri

No one on their staffs in Washington, D.C. bothered to check gas prices in Missouri. As if they cared.

Some of the responses:

You still get your 174k and your subsidies.

By the way, what is the average price of a gallon of gas in your district? Do you know?

In the meantime, why don’t you tell us what YOU would do?

On a roll today.

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend spree would leave hardworking Americans with greater debt and higher taxes.
4:10 PM · Oct 26, 2021

Some of the hilarious responses:

We just stopped spending $10M a month in Afghanistan, but GOD FORBID we invest in America or Americans, am I right? [….]

The Build Back America plan invests in US infrastructure- small towns, Education, Broadband, Lowers Drug Costs, Children- all of which 70% of Americans want. Supposedly items you said YOU want. But it’s always going to be Party over Constituents, isn’t it?

Translation: “We don’t mind ballooning the deficit as long as it helps billionaires but not ordinary Americans.”

.Are the taxes on your multiple houses going up? Oh the horrors!

Do you really expect us to believe this???? You know this is false!

No, your billionaire tax break already did that.

Rich guy doesn’t want his $1,500,000,000 unpaid for @gop tax cut taken away..

So, sorta like the tax cuts, right Senator??

Republicans cut taxes for the top 1% and added 7 trillion to the debt, Roy. That’s what you’re leaving hardworking Americans.

If you are concerned about greater debt, why did you vote for the Trump tax cuts that went overwhelmingly to the 1%.

Of course, the child tax credit doesn’t help working Americans — those in the 1%

You are what you are, sir.

They will leave the average American worker with lower taxes, and definitely LESS federal debt. All proposed programs are PAID FOR up front, not ten years after the fact.

Lying again?

Well, not completely. Americans who have incomes north of $400K/year would see a tax hike. Fewer loopholes too.

But otherwise … lies.

As opposed to the greater debt and higher taxes you have created in your decades of poor service? I just feel the energy bleed out of your poor staff as they cut and paste these from some donors email. Sorry kids. Get a better job.

See this is y’all’s trend today. Lie about spending.

Do your damn homework, Ray Ray and stop being untruthful.[….]

The Trump-Republican give-away tax cut for the rich was a cynical show of disregard for average Americans. That’s where the greater debt and need for higher taxes on the wealthy comes from: Republican bowing before their rich donors.

Billionaires aren’t hardworking Americans.

It’s time they pay their fair share.

Big Lie supporter has thoughts on economics.

If I had a million dollars for every time you posted this lie, I’d be very wealthy and I still wouldn’t have as much as you voted to give billionaires.

Not doing it will leave hardworking Americans with the consequences of catastrophic climate change.

You didn’t care about the costs when it came to shoveling money into your rich friends’ wallets. The Dems are actually trying to improve America.

How about you being a good guy?

Hasn’t ever happened, never will.

So, why have all thr recent Democratic presidents had to restore the economy after all thr Republican Presidents left it in shambles?

So easy to remember that it even fits on a bumper sticker.

Oh, the GOP talking points are bad.

Hey Roy, go tell your hardworking constituents you don’t want to help make their lives a little easier after YOU voted for TRILLIONS in tax cuts for billionaires & corporations who PAY ZERO TAXES.

Republicans LIE

You don’t give a damn about “hardworking Americans.”

Republicans reckless trickle-down theory has left hard-working Americans poorer than they were 30 years ago. You and your buddies have killed the middle-class.

“…You are what you are, sir.”

Does any serious person see any reasonable scenario where the Unites States of America initiates a first strike against the People’s Republic of China? Whatever anyone says to any other person about the possibility, it’s not going to happen. Ever. It would be the stupidest possible move in the entirety of human history. If I have to explain it to you, you’re an idiot.

Vicky Hartzler (r) [2021 file photo].

Yesterday. from Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
General Milley telling China — our top adversary — that he would warn them if America was planning to attack is worthy of his resignation.
[…]
11:19 AM · Sep 29, 2021

The people who should resign are the ones who think the implied scope here of an attack on China by the United States would result in anything other than a disaster for everyone. Everyone.

Maroon.

Some of the responses, with plenty of hilarity:

Not really.

Representatives Hartzler, Jordan & Gaetz 2019 breaking into a classified level secure facility at the Capitol compromised national security, tested Cap Police & is worthy of their resignations. [….]

Not a hypothetical.

Way to misrepresent what he said.

#GOPLiesAboutEverything

I don’t agree with your assessment

Wildly out of context.

Stop ypur gaslighting

Right now we are peaceful w/China on many levels, not perfect, but amicable. Gen. Milley worked within the latitude of his responsibilities during a time of crisis to ensure that the uneasy peace we have was maintained and communicated so. Now just where were you on the 6th eh?

You’re an embarrassment. A sedationist who sought to help overturn a free and fair election asking a 4 star General to resign
You should resign

So, you think the US should be surprise attacking one of the other nuclear capable countries on the planet without Congressional approval?

Really Vicky? Do you ever do your, you know, job?

His words were spoken in the presence of numerous administration officials. None of them called for his resignation. Trump didn’t even call for his resignation. Clearly, averting a war is something you think is a bad thing.

Oh Vicki you’re such a disingenuous shrew.

Why are you such a big fan of nuclear war? And how on earth can you still call yourself “pro-life”?

Get a grip and quit playing stupid political games about issues so serious.

You embarrassed yourself today

This is outrageously out of context and you know it. You should resign

Your statement is totally out of context. Thanks for including the clip though. We can see for ourselves that you’re lying.

Why tell your constituents a lie? He said specifically that he would not tell any enemy operational details or inform them in advance of an action. Do MO a favor and resign yourself. Ike Skelton must be rolling in his grave having been followed by such incompetence.

You’re a republican crisis actor, a problem looking for a solution, a bandwagoneer. Just another GQP looking for moment to get your talking point out. If he had said, “Coyote caught the Roadrunner.” You would have still said to resign. You were nervous saying it [….]

So, you’re clueless. Another pathetic “leader” doing all she can to misinform her constituents. Trash.

You are an ignorant partisan hack who should resign. Going after those who take their oaths of office seriously, tell the truth, & believe in the Constitution is not acceptable to you. You & many of your colleagues couldn’t pass a high school civics exam.

Hey look! Another prime example of my home state electing a completely ignorant person, with no credible knowledge or experience on anything political, to a major office. What a fucking moron

God you’re a fuckin moron

Are you insane? Do you really not understand how national security works? The American people need to be demanding your resignation on the basis of gross incompetency.

Your mock indignation seems pretty resignation worthy itself, actually. You’re just as pathetic as the rest of the republicans. Do your job, or shut up. Careful you don’t hurt yourself clutching your pearls… I’m sure Ms. Collins can give you some lessons…

Actually, you being a moron is worthy of your resignation.

No it is not you fool…you are just another intellectually challenged @GOP obstructionist

Do us all a favor and you should resign.

You should be embarrassed, you have no grasp on what he actually said otherwise you would not be tweeting this out for the entire world to see what an imbecile you truly are. You should resign.

You’re a dangerous partisan hack

You’re an embarrassment.#idiot

That’s not what General Milley said at all. It’s very disturbing that after 2 days of testimony you either are too braindamage to get this or are trying to lie and gaslight us. You’re a sick sad pathetic embarrassment to Congress and our country and a grandstanding loser.

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

Yesterday evening.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Anyone else paying more at the pump under Joe Biden?

The average price of gas in Missouri has soared under this administration to $2.84/gallon today.

A year ago under President Trump, it was just $1.92/gallon.
[….]
6:01 PM · Sep 7, 2021

“Your awl stoopit” would have taken less time to type.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

wow. you mean gas was cheaper during the pandemic slow down?

I wonder why?

but maybe I just don’t understand economics as well as a home economics teacher…

Nah.

A year ago, we hadn’t had a couple of major hurricanes blast through the Gulf of Mexico, knocking out refineries and pipelines either.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually think before you hit the tweet button, Vicki

Sometimes?

A year ago no one was going anywhere. Supply and demand.

Geez, Vicky, if that’s all you have against Biden, he must be doing a pretty good job!

You should tell us the average price of gas in 2018.

Now do 2019 prices.

Have you thought about firing your social media team? You sure they aren’t working against you??

What else happened a year ago?

Oh, that’s right. Republicans think 2020 was great.

Oh, the President is the only factor controlling gas prices? Disrupted supply lines, fewer people working, greater demand that people are moving about more freely play no role? Quit trying to gaslight people.
