Joe Biden (D) [2020 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford

[May 7, 2026]

❗Breaking ground on a stronger, safer future for Missouri❗
Joined Governor Mike Kehoe, local leaders, and Missouri Department of Transportation today in Columbia to kick off the I-70 expansion—bringing three lanes in each direction from Rocheport to Columbia. This transformational investment will reduce congestion, improve safety, and keep our state moving.
Proud to stand alongside community partners as we lay the foundation for long-term growth, and to continue working in Congress to support projects that build on this momentum right here in MO-04! 🛣️

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Mark, why do you look so happy? Is it because you stole a Democratic funded project to put your name on it?

Shouldn’t you be in Washington! You have some bad issues there!

Is Mark using Joe Biden’s shovel????🪏 Since this was Biden’s legislation? Awesome work, indeed.

few republicans voted for Biden’s infrastructure bill, but they all love taking credit for the results.

First time anyone in the photos have held hand tools

Is Alford wearing his own personal microphone?

A huge thank you to President Joe Biden and his congress for funding this project. Dang I miss Democrats!

Thanks Joe Biden for signing the infrastructure bill after the last Trump administration had Infrastructure Week for 4 years and did nothing

Say that again. Just love how repubs take credit for programs they voted against. Vote Blue.

Adding more lanes rarely reduces traffic congestion long-term because of a phenomenon known as induced demand. While new lanes might temporarily ease congestion, the increased capacity attracts more drivers, leading to more trips and longer commutes. Within 5–10 years, traffic typically returns to or exceeds previous congestion levels

[….] We’re just reminding people that the money allocated for this is a result of President Biden’s infrastructure bill, yet Mark Alford and Mike Kehoe are taking credit for it.

Thank Joe Biden for all the infrastructure improvements.

Thanks President Biden for your hard work taking care of people

Winning!

Thanks, Joe Biden! Infrastructure bill still paying for itself!

Great Job Biden!

Thank you President Biden for the infrastructure bill that made this possible.

Thanks to the Biden infrastructure bill.

Now if we only could afford gas to drive on it.

Nobody can afford to drive on the damn thing

Regular Unleaded yesterday, 5/6/26 $4.30 gallon in Lee’s Summit

Can we thank the Biden Administration ,or is that against the MAGA Cult?

You’re a joke!!!!!

Trying to take credit for Biden’s infrastructure bill that EVERY Missouri Republican congressman and woman voted against, I see. 🙄

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

You had nothing to do with this other than digging a hole!

The federal funding for this project was approved in President Biden’s infrastructure bill, which Mark has always opposed. Now he’s there to claim credit for it. 🤡

Don’t forget to thank Biden’s infrastructure act for your photo op, Mark

Thanks president Biden and now republicans are trying to to take credit for for your accomplishments

You didn’t have any role in this, but you couldn’t pass up the photo opp, could you.

Did you notice the gas prices across the highway? [….]

The Biden Infrastructure program is the only source of your “wins…” 😂

Where do the funding come from? Biden’s infrastructure bill that yall tried to kill? So now you take credit. Congressman Mark Alford you continue to be an embarrassment and disgrace.

Can’t think, can’t write, can gaslight a little.

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[April 27, 2026]

Political violence is not a both sides issue.

No one is buying that anymore.

This is a problem uniquely on the Left.

Mainstream media pundits & elected Democrats are spewing rhetoric demonizing Republicans & seemingly ordinary people are starting to see violence as rational form of action.

[….]

Some of the responses:

The Show me State did poorly with this person getting elected to the Senate.

I am not buying what you are selling.

The data says different. [….]

You do realize we have half a century of data detailing violent political crimes…
And that data says you are wrong.

Except data proves that a majority comes from the right.

State your sources, eliminate your opinions, then you can have a discussion with the voters. That is how this works. Facts matter.

You know we can actually see with our eyes and hear with our ears right?

The delusion is strong in this one

I’ll tell Melissa Hortman

Could we get secure ballrooms in public schools and universities then??? Our children need the most protection!
$400 million could fund the protection of our children!!!

Tell me you haven’t read Trump’s truth social posts, without actually telling me you haven’t read Trump’s truth social posts.

Source: trust me, bro… 😂🤡

We know better. 1/6

Not sure if you are aware who our President is, but please check out some of the things he has said and then get back to me.

The leader of the country regularly targets anyone who opposes him and calls them an enemy of the state. He’s called for violence against democrats numerous times. If you want the rhetoric to stop, the POTUS needs to lead the way. Acting like this is a one sided issue is only making it worse. Stop playing victim. It’s getting old.

You look calm and reassuring…

You couldn’t tell the truth if you had to.

What. It’s an overwhelmingly right wing issue and you know it.

Uh oh, you are really not going to like what the actual data says.
According to the FBI & DHS threat assessments, the primary source of domestic extremist violence in the U.S. for years has been right-wing extremism, particularly white supremacist actors. That’s not spin. That’s their own reporting.
We’re talking roughly 70–80% of politically motivated violence tied to that side depending on the year and dataset. So this “uniquely on the Left” narrative? Not supported by the numbers.
You can dislike that reality all you want. Still doesn’t make it less true.

The data says the opposite.

Interesting how literally all factual information on the topic demonstrates you are wrong…

Maybe the good Senator should hang the 10 Commandments up in his office:
The 9th establishes a moral duty to truthfulness.

Don’t let facts get in the way of your propaganda

Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true.

You’ve got to be joking. Political violence is a “both sides” issue in as much as it has happened on both sides. But if you want to blame one side in particular, statistics show overwhelmingly that the right is the more violent side.

This is a load of crap.

As a senator , how does it feel when you post things and people just laugh at how stupid you sound do you feel like you’re going to be reelected?

Propaganda, lies and gibberish on MAGA scale

Oh FFS!!! Are you for real???

You’re delusional

Good gosh. I think you actually believe yourself. Well, that’s one.

Look at your president’s rhetoric not to mention January 6. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. You’re an idiot.

Gaslight much?

Propagandist Schmitt, your boss called for the murder of Liz Cheney, called for a riot on Jan 6, and rage tweets every single night while normal people are sleeping.

Read the country, Mark (r)

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 13, 2026]

America First = peace through strength.
With China leaning on Taiwan + Putin in Eastern Europe…we cannot afford weakness.
President Trump understands it—strength prevents war, and Iran cannot be allowed a nuclear weapon that threatens the U.S. or our allies. [….]

[….]

Some of the responses:

If only there was some sort of vetted group of Nations we could coordinate with specifically for the purpose of protecting North America and Europe. [….]

Listen to the Pope & quit offending our allies! This is not good Markie!

Before I sign on, how many civilizations would this entail? Asking for the world.

Curious as to what your Bible says about this 👇 Mark Alford
(image of Trump as Christ or a doctor)

So what kind of ” strength ” are we using against Putin, since you mentioned him?

Burying him in oil revenue? Just asking.

What do you make of Trump posting that he is Jesus?

So, Straight of Hormuz was open, now it’s closed by Iran elevating them to a world power, oil was under 100 dollars a barrel now it’s way over 100 dollars a barrel, and 13 American troops dead and unknown amount of wounded because the Trump administration doesn’t give us that information,a billion dollars per day cost to us taxpayers who STILL don’t have health care and increasing inflation, and Trump asking for 1.4 TRILLION for more WAR. and Trump is PROFITING FROM THE WAR. Trump also threatened nuclear war and to wipe Iran off the map. SOWHEN DO YOU START SUPPORTING MISSOURIANS INSTEAD OF TRUMP? Time for Trump to be impeached removed and jailed. If you can’t vote to impeach a clearly unfit president RESIGN NOW.

Does the President understand that he’s not God/Jesus & that he’s not going to build a Trump skyscraper on the moon? 🧐

Ready, fire, aim.

Peace is war …………..

President Trump is not fit.

and what is Trump going to do when Chinese tankers sail through the Strait of Hormuz?

We aren’t looking too strong right now

1. Blasphemy
(image of Trump as Christ or a doctor)

2. Orban pledged loyalty to Putin, then leaked EU/NATO intel to Russia.

3. Trump pledged campaign and financial support to Orban, then lifted sanctions on Russia.
[….]

Oh, is that why he allied with Orban who allied with Putin????

We have no allies.

Which allies?

Allies? 😂

#MagaTrash

Trump has put himself first and America LAST.

Dude… Stop drinking the kool-aid…

Read the room.
Start looking for a new job.

Iran should be no problem for our president considering He is the son of God.
[image of Trump as Christ or a doctor]

So, not a doctor, then?

Gee, how come Russia is still in parts of Ukraine? Could it be that the Orange Felon is a Russian asset?

Why is Trump helping Putin, then?

I was told the nuclear program was obliterated 6 months ago

PEACE we aren’t doing peace, he’s doing War, haven’t you heard

“Anything War can do, Peace can do better”

If you are correct, and “strength prevents war”, why are we currently at war?

Can’t we just have some PEACE period??? So much fighting with so many.

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room.”

“…Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff….”

This is a call to republicans in Congress to step up and do your constitutional duty. Rein in this president before he causes absolutely irreparable damage to our country, our military standing, and our leadership in the world.

President Trump understands the Shart of the Squeal!

China is winning big while Trump plays small-D chess and MAGA worries about “owning the libs”.
Trump’s tariffs brought China out of a terrible post-COVID economic crisis. They now have a LOT more clout in the Middle East, and they need that oil way more than we do. The dollar is on the decline, yuan on the rise.ost Americans have no idea how much this matters. We were once considered the pillar of world stability, that ship has sailed. As we lose our many global advantages, the crushing weight of our national debt may become critical as interest payments become the largest part of the national budget, larger than defense spending.
How are we going to pay to replace all the missiles, drones, planes, etc that we just wasted on Iran? Borrow more money? Because they won’t raise taxes. But who wants US bonds now? Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States!

With Turmp as our president we’ve never been more weak and less feared than now. Iran is making a joke of him, they are stronger now than before the war.

Strength hasn’t turned out to prevent wars in our case. Our strength gave our leaders less wisdom than they should have had. And, if this was an “America First” administration, why would we have spent 40+ billion dollars on an unnecessary war and abandoned healthcare and the needs of vulnerable US citizens?

Strength prevents war? Where does that place Trumpelstiltskin?

Gee, how come Russia is still in parts of Ukraine? Could it be that the Orange Felon is a Russian asset?

I was told the nuclear program was obliterated 6 months ago

If you are correct, and “strength prevents war”, why are we currently at war?

How is Missouri population currently doing with the high cost of everything?🤓

So why isn’t he helping Ukraine more and Taiwan and not screwing around in Venezuela and Iran

Peace? In case you haven’t noticed (being on vacation and all), we’re currently engaged in large scale Middle East military operations. The administration has referred to it as a war.

OMFG you used Trump’s invasion of Iran as a deterrent to *China’s desire to invade Taiwan* 😑

Yeah, Obama had that under control.
Without using violence or genocidal threats.

“‘Peace through strength’? I can’t stop laughing. If strength means yelling at allies, threatening the Pope & the genocide of a people on social media, and calling it foreign policy, that’s the new definition of ‘strength.’ No wonder China and Russia aren’t exactly shaking in their boots. All the world sees is Trump’s performative chest‑thumping.

Blah blah blah
The ship of state has a madman at the tiller

Trump is the weakness!!!!

Do you really believe what comes out of your mouth?

Where were all of these words when Ukraine needed our help? You have a different position based solely on the actions of Trump. Your next original thought will be your first.

What a sad, sad little man you are.

Congressman Mark Alford, too late you IDIOT! TACO has already shown his weakness, and you and the entire GOP have enabled him through your INACTIONS..
Besides, all Trump understands is GREED and CORUPTION…

We are weaker now more than anytime in modern history. You can not con educate people. This is just propaganda aimed at imbeciles.

OMG—please stop. This reads as deeply unserious.
You’re invoking “strength” while defending a man who posts absurd, disrespectful nonsense about religious figures and elevates spectacle over strategy. That’s not leadership—that’s instability masquerading as bravado.
If this is your standard for “understanding,” it explains a lot. Do better. Or step aside.

Trump thinks he is Jesus, but Obama and Biden are evil? Fake Christians.

I’m guessing you’re gonna go to war with your constituents?

More importantly are you going to vote on the bill that gives the defense department one and a half trillion more dollars which if you did vote Yes on it would undermine everything you were saying before about saving rural hospitals, helping support farmers, or anything that you said about helping rural Missouri. I bet I know which way you’re going to vote because you are a fucking boot licker you tiny spineless little man

What are you talking about? Trump is the best thing that ever happened to Vladimir Putin.
He gets to sell oil for full price, he’s been telling Trump for years to get out of NATO and Russia is helping Iran in their war with Israel and the US watching the United States Go bankrupt.
Trump will go down in history as the president that got the most US military bases, attacked and torn up in the shortest amount of time. The White House said they have helped. Israel win their war every day since it started.

Congressman Mark Alford you’re completely full of shit. Enjoy being on the wrong side of history. We’re voting you out.

You’re a nitwit.

But you destroyed their nuclear capabilities last fall…unless you were lying then.

Are You Really that Stupid? I Mean Really.

Dude, do you actually DO anything besides posting stupid shit on social media??

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

On an impactful anniversary, no less:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 9, 2026]

This Tax Season, Americans Are Keeping More of What They Earn — Thanks to House Republicans’ + President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts 💰
💡 REMINDER: Every single Democrat voted against this legislation.
[….]

Some of the biting:

Do you agree with Trump that keep our military strong we can’t afford to pay for Medicare, Medicaid, and childcare? In the meantime, how much was your tax cut compared to a family of four with an income of $70,000.

The no taxes on overtime is bullshit. I worked almost $28k in overtime last year and it was a deduction of a percentage of my overtime, which after the time and a half and double time came out to be an $8k deduction which my accountant said might have changed my tax return by $1600, 20% of $8k. But I fell in the higher tax bracket so my return was about $2k less than last year. I’ve worked 7-12’s and paid over $3,000 in taxes in one week. So it’s bullshit rhetoric to get common people on the hook to excuse billions in tax cuts for the richest Americans at the expense of society’s most vulnerable people.

To clarify: 1. Re: No tax on overtime, the taxpayer can only deduct (exclude) the overtime premium, (i.e. the extra 1/2 for time and 1/2 from income) and pays the full income tax on the rest of the hourly pay. For example $6,000 of overtime would result in deduction of $2,000 from income. Social Security and Medicare taxes would apply to the full amount of the overtime pay. The states for the most part have not excluded the overtime premium so all of it would be taxed by the states.
2. Re: No tax on Social Security for seniors, there is no exclusion of tax on Social Security. There is a larger standard deduction for seniors which may eliminate the tax for some taxpayers, but would not eliminate tax on Social Security if the taxpayer has a certain amount of income.

I beg to differ. For the first time since I started working at 15 as well as being married filing joint for the last 24 years we OWED both fed & state this year.

Interesting because I am on Social Security and when I did my taxes, our refund was lower and we took the standard deduction.

How popular do you think the automatic enlistment is going to be with your constituents Congressman Mark Alford ?

Paid more than ever this year

Not the middle class asswipe were paying for the billionaires.

If it’s a meme. It’s gotta be true.

How’s those prices at the gas pumps and grocery stores? How about your health care costs? Your piddly little tax refunds don’t even begin to cover the increase in costs purported by the Republicans and their convicted felon fraudster.

If you grifters want to generate revenue for the state, make a new tax code so the wealthy pay the same (or higher) percentage in taxes than the poor and middle class.

Meanwhile Americans can’t afford health insurance, groceries or utilities thanks to Mark and tacos illegal tariffs.

So Alford, what do you think trump and hegseth threatening the Pope?

I got back $11.00

How about being honest? The no tax on overtime is misleading. On the time and a half only the half part is no tax. No tax on tips is only up to $25,000. The bracket with the biggest returns is the highest bracket. Those in middle class and lower have to pay more taxes so the higher bracket can reap the reward. I can’t wait to see who runs against you and if you’ll debate.

If that’s the case why are so many of my clients complaining they aren’t getting any more back than usual?

Do you support impeachment removal and prosecutions for war crimes by Trump and Hegseth? Tuesday Trump threatened the entire world with a nuclear strike on Iran ” Wipeout their civilization “. Are You for war crimes? I’m not and I don’t know any Missourians who support another forever war.Btw Trump and his family are enriching themselves from this war that COSTS US TAXPAYERS A BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY! are you for that too? Because you should RESIGN TODAY if you can’t stop supporting Trump.

Where’s my DOGE & Tariff refund $$$ Mr. Alford?? !

It’s going into the gas tank bud.

Puppet 🖕

Never mind the $2000 tariff tax on everyone and $1 per gallon increase in gas and good luck if you lost your health insurance.

Didn’t help me at all

🚨INFLATION SURGES: U.S. inflation surged to 3.3% in March as the Iran war’s energy shock rippled through the economy, with prices jumping 0.9% — the biggest monthly spike since June 2022. Energy inflation rose +10.9% (largest since 2005), while gasoline prices jumped 21.2% in March — the biggest increase since records began in 1967. Gas is now up nearly 40% since late February.

Tariffs season and
Rising costs of fuel
SEASON

If your GREAT LEADER had not imposed tariffs and started a war Americans might actually be happy with these tax cuts. As it is they are getting further behind because rising prices are eating up anything that was gained.

Middle class, middle-aged singles got hit harder than ever. Only telling half the truth makes a statement a full lie.

Tax cuts got eaten up the last time I filled up my tank.

My refund was less, so there’s that…

So after April 15th what do you have for the American people?

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared
bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy.
That’s what Trump Derangement
Syndrome actually looks like.

Interesting how each of you posts a different percentage. Perhaps you could get together and agree on which number you’re going to go with so your lies are consistent.

Lick those boots!

Retired and paid more this year than ever before. I dont want to hear your garbage.

Why the fuck is gas $3.59, Mark?!

You are the village idiot! Everyone is laughing at you.

Nothing but a Trump repeater

No!!! you voted for tax cuts for the billionaires!!
And you voted for gutting healthcare from the poorest people in America so Trump could fund his Nazi ice agents to terrorize Americans.
The National archives are calling Mark!!!
They have the receipts

Lying POS. Like people in the 4th district are so stupid they won’t realize how horrible you are making their lives

No refund, I owe. Bunch of incompetent tv personalities in the Cabinet abusing their positions on the taxpayers dollar. Congress is a sad joke, 1.3% – 2% of enacted legislation to date. Kegsbreath Secretary of War Crimes stated the draft will start again in December. So much for the “peace president” and putting America First!

Not my working family . I hate that you of all people are trying to preach to me. I am so done with the Republican party. I think you are disgraceful and will soon find yourself in hell where you belong.

Why do you keep embarrassing yourself????
I made the same income, same deductions…and, OWED MORE!!!!
You lying sack of turds!!!
And, what’s your SOURCE on this??? You just put some numbers up there with an arrow pointing upward! WTF???
You’re just pulling shit out of your little ass!

Paid more! What other gaslighting do you have Congressman Mark Alford?

My refund went down. Someone who earns more than me must be pulling that average up. I guess I just understand how averages work better than the fools who keep voting for you.

SENATOR COLLINS’ LIST OF 18 CZARS
[….]

Republican enablers and Donald Trump (r) are shameless. But, then, you already knew that.

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Vice President JD Vance is now in charge of “FRAUD” in the United States. It is massive and pervasive, and the job he will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration, will be a major factor in how great the future of our Country will be. We will call him the “FRAUD CZAR,” and his focus will be “EVERYWHERE,” but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a “free for all” in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money. The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget. Raids have already started in L.A. Good Luck JD!

Apparently.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[March 31, 2026]

Democrats left TSA workers without pay. President Trump stepped in and got them paid.
Now airport lines are moving again—and Americans are seeing the difference. The left must stop playing games, fund DHS & end the chaos.
[….]

A day early. Heh.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Why didn’t Trump do this earlier?

He can only take Emergency action when it becomes an actual emergency.

Cool. So only a week in was not an emergency? Calling in ICE was not an emergency?

The Republicans kept voting to not pay the TSA workers, the congressman from Missouri speaks with a crooked tongue.

Republicans voted against paying them 7 times.
Still not requiring ICE ro follow normal police procedures.

Now that’s funny Mark!

“Solved” the problem that he caused. It’s the equivalent of praising your teenager for totalling their car but doing a great job finding a new one.

weird…the democrats have controlled 0 branches of government in the last 12 months. Therefore…it can’t be their fault??? Weird.

Funny that.

Trump caused the problem.
Trump solved the problem.
Trump is the hero! 🙄

So he had the ability to do that the whole time¿¿

Solving a self created problem, nice.

Problem created and then announced solved. It isn’t solved…you people aren’t working together. Every day it gets more ridiculous.

The Democrats had nine different legislative proposals for funding TSA don’t lie

asking these GOP Congressmen not to lie isn’t possible..every post is a lie with them

He could of done that weeks ago but he chose to let them suffer, just like Republicans did the eight times they voted against a bill to pay TSA workers.

yep, because Trump is the biggest drama queen

So he could have payed them the entire time?

he was trying to use them as a threat to bully the Dems into passing the SAVE Act which hands elections over to his fed govt—so they “never lose again” as he said

And you are on a 2 week vacation.

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 soooooo He is a hero for doing something he could have done in the beginning

He gets a participation trophy, too.

Great job solving the problem you caused.

Why didn’t he do that to begin with?🤡

Thou shalt not lie.

When did control of the White House, Congress and the Senate shift to the Democrats?

Wow … he keeps solving the problems he creates

Please tell me how it was the democrats. What were republicans willing to negotiate on? I’m seriously curious, because I only heard what the democrats put forth to come to some resolution, I haven’t seen what the republicans put forth.

Cause a problem, temporary fix the problem, claim a victory. The maga way

So he could have done this the whole time, instead used TSA workers as pawns in political theater and you think that makes him admirable?

Yesterday:

Rep. Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford

This isn’t about politics. It’s about keeping America safe and making sure our fuel keeps flowing. Taking action now against a dangerous regime may cost a little today, but it protects every American tomorrow.
[…..]
4:28 PM · Mar 6, 2026

Thanks for nothing, Mark.

Some of the responses via another social media site:

The question you should be asking is what planning took place to protect the Staits of Hormuz before the bombing began. Have you asked? If no, why didn’t you?

yeah, starting a war always seems like a good path to peace in the world.

Come on Markie, you did it, OWN IT!!

What flavor Kool-Aid is your favorite?

Spinning. People are struggling and your rich @$$ is telling us it’s not bad suck it up. When you’re out of a job suck it up!

The dow……., down, down, and gas up up up, I hope I don’t go broke. I’m not a millionaire. Praying for a stable economy. Praying for peace before man destroys the whole world.

So it’s about keeping oil flowing?

Are you getting dizzy from all that spinning, Mark?

Pushing corporate profits to protect Americans sometime in the future… 🤡

Admitting its about oil, yay atleast we’re being honest now.

Why do we keep hearing that we have to suffer now to be ok later? How about stop making shit worse?

And what about the constitution….care at all about that?

It’s a good thing those goal posts are movable …

Heh.

So now Republicans are 𝘧𝘰𝘳 high gas prices. Got it. 🤣

Warmonger.

Hurt a little now??? Kind of like all the job losses we are having. When do we start winning?

Gaslighting at its finest!!

Yes we are taking away your benefits and giving tax breaks to the rich, but look on the bright side, we are also going to raise the cost of living.

Yep.

Now all of a sudden high gas prices are not a problem

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

High gas prices are good for us now?

Nonsense. Your party tossed a working agreement to start this conflict.

So… campaign promises are now opposite of what you plan to do and are a good thing? lol. Drink up the kool aid.

Drink up the artificially flavored and orange-colored [insert name brand here] sugar water drink.

I thought the fuel was flowing? You guys made it stop flowing…

Is that what you want to call it?

Which “dangerous regime” are you referring to, the one in Tehran or Washington DC?

I thought this wasn’t about oil?

Do you pay for your own gas?

Nice spin! You support billions for a foreign war but are fine with Americans have a 30,000 dollar healthcare deductible?

That’s a feature, not a bug. It’s not a problem if you’re in the top 1%.

“Our fuel”? Last I saw it was in the ground of another sovereign nation. What makes it “ours”?

So now it’s not about politics because prices are skyrocketing. Let’s remind Little Marky he has used gas prices to push his politics ever since he entered them. You see Little Marky is a hypocrite and he knows his MAGA loyalists are so stupid they believe every word he utters. Vote him out!

You realize that gas went up when we went to war right…

Glad Harris didn’t get elected…We might be at war with rising gas prices and higher unemployment

So they said.

Did you add the $1 billion a day our military is spending?
But I guess health care was too expensive

The dangerous regime is ours

Alford over hear asking people to ignore whats going on. Gas prices are nearing numbers that resemble Mark’s height. Unemployment is up. Non-farm payrolls are down. Previous employment numbers revised down. That 50,000 market Noem mentioned is now hanging on to 47,000. Everything this administration touches breaks, including Mark Alford’s dignity.

Trumpflation

Sheep. You, relegate your constituents to sheep. Just say what ever the wind blows and they’ll eat it up. Iran was not a threat to America. Not enough to start a fcking war that majority of America doesn’t want. But go ahead and gaslight your people.

That’s what you said about tariffs too.
Jobs report says 92,000 jobs lost last month. How many more months is all this short term pain going to last?

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

During the state of the Union less than a month ago Trump said that the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated. Iran may have had bad leaders, but they were not a threat to the US. This war, these oil prices are 1000% political. And I worry far less what this will cost in oil and dollar, and I worry far more what this will cost in human blood and lives.

This is the concept of a plan that we’ve been waiting for?

Oh, so you’re all admitting it’s a war now.

North Korea is a dangerous regime. Are we going to hit them next?

Apparently Cuba is next.

No, the attack on Iran did literally nothing for the safety of people in the US.

The dangerous regime? You mean the one in the white house? 🤔

There are tons of dangerous regimes. You’re giving Trump a blank check to go after them all and bankrupt our country…even after he said no wars?

It’s about Trump trying to create an emergency to cancel midterms

Iran has been two weeks from a nuke for 30 years. If you believe this narrative, you’re proof of a failed education

They had a concept of a plan.

Lol we all watched the lies with the “war on terror” we know your all full of shit

Some people are too stupid to know when to just STFU.

It may cost a little but the billionaires will be fine.

How does higher gas prices keep me safe?

Aw yes attacking Iran because he failed to negotiate a nuclear deal that was already in place, the only issue with said deal was it didn’t have his name on it.

That was what Trump said about tariffs, it will hurt now but will be worth it in the long run. How is that going for grocery prices?

If you are serious about protecting this country than you need to break the stranglehold that Big Oil has on this country. They can raise their price whenever they feel like it and that raises the price for just about everything we use on a daily basis. Protect this country by breaking their hold over us by investing in solar and wind power like most of the other countries in the world are doing. One of the reasons we are in this war, is the fact that Big Oil is scared they are being run out of their monopoly and this war will allow them to make billions before the rest of the world stops using oil and gasoline. SOme countries have already made solar and wind power their biggest power suppliers and if we were smart we would have done so to, but instead we elected a man hell bent to take us backwards 100 years to using coal power again and who has done his best to stop solar and wind power in this country to pay back his Big Oil buddies. How much money do YOU get from Big Oil?

Did they have yellow cake uranium again?

The united states only gets about 10% of its oil from the middle east. We have enough oil right here to be self sufficient.
So it’s the middleman, within the united states that is causing these prices to go up.
Sounds rather fraudulent. Why aren’t you looking into that?

It costs a lot more than a ‘little.’ A billion a day. And if you think this isn’t going to turn into a quagmire I got some Trump crypto coin to sell you

It’s about lining the pockets of the mega rich.

Congressman Mark Alford puts out another reason for this war, and it is a war. Now the war is to keep the oil flowing

They told us last summer they had obliterated Iran’s nuclear capability. Surely they weren’t lying to us.

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

Make sure you spew that at your next town hall 🥴

Heh.

I hope your people understand how stupid you are

They don’t.

Republicans, including this Mark Alford liar, told us that if we voted for Democrats then America would wind up in a war with Iran.

Yea when inflation is at a high, affordability is out of reach and Americans struggle, we needed a new war costing a billion dollars a day and rising gas prices to make things easier. You chumps really are just in it to make life worse for everyone except the rich.

The bottom line is the GOP has just used aggression against Iran, as well as Minneapolis, now Kansas and Missouri without justification that ultimately costs Missourians. But please, rationalize away.

That was the point of USAID, but this administration thought it was a waste of money… 🙄

You Sir are an idiot, simple as that.

Keep convincing yourself of that. This certainly doesn’t affect your pocket book like it does the millions of Americans already struggling to put food on the table and paying bills. This president and his administration along with the majority of the Republican Party have done NOTHING to help Americans. What’s your excuse now Congressman Mark Alford

Not believing any of your bull 💩

Are you as dumb as you think we are?

Dude you bragged only a few weeks ago about the price of gas.
Nice try.
Actually, not really.

Weird way of saying we’re getting fucked by MAGA

Those 92,000 that lost their jobs last month care about the gas prices

This is a needless, endless war on a whim. We have enough problems with no solutions from you and now this just adds to it. No one wants this.

You’re such a clown 🤡

October 1, 2024:

Trump blasts Harris on Iran, says Biden administration is ‘leading us to brink of World War III’
[….]
Former President Donald Trump used Iran’s missile attack on Israel on Tuesday to slam Vice President Kamala Harris, blasting her and President Joe Biden as “grossly incompetent” and threatening that they “are leading us to the brink of World War III.”
[….]
“The two incompetent people running our country — and I don’t think they’re even running it — are leading us to the brink of World War III, a war like no other,” Trump told a raucous crowd in Waunakee, Wisconsin, claiming without evidence that the nation’s first and second in command are not in fact in charge of the administration.
[….]

Waking up this morning:

U.S. launches ‘major combat operations’ in Iran, Trump says
Trump acknowledged that “Operation Epic Fury,” the U.S.-Israel military offensive in Iran, could lead to American casualties, but said the mission was necessary to protect America and its allies in the future.

Feb. 28, 2026, 8:07 AM EST
[….]

President Donald Trump announced the largest military intervention of his two terms in the Oval Office, saying the United States is launching sweeping attacks on the Iranian military and calling on the Iranian people to rise up and seize control of their government.

The U.S. military has launched “major combat operations” in Iran, Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social early Saturday morning, with the goal of stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and protecting American personnel and interests abroad and at home.

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” Trump declared from behind a podium dressed in a navy suit and wearing a baseball cap emblazoned with “USA” on it.

[….]

“This asshole is going to fuck around and get us all killed”

Last year:

Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News
The White House
June 25, 2025

The world is far safer after President Donald J. Trump’s highly successful, decisive precision strikes against the Iranian regime’s key nuclear facilities.

Take it from those who actually know:

President Trump: “Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!”

[….]

And yet, Kamala Harris laughed too much.

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.

Our elections are sacred and so is the right to vote. That’s why I was proud to support the SAVE America Act yesterday to require photo identification to vote in federal elections, require proof of citizenship to register to vote and make states remove non-citizens from their voter rolls. This bill maintains the integrity of our elections and that’s exactly what the American people want.

Not very smart there, eh?

Some of the responses:

Scared of women, are you?

Poll tax

Hack

Poll tax!!!

Poll tax!

Spineless Bootlicking Lackey.

Voter suppression!!!
