This National School Choice Week, it’s time to put power back in the hands of parents.
Parents deserve a voice on what’s being taught, school safety, and have the ability to choose the best education for their children. #SchoolChoiceWeek
School Choice Week
[….] 2:57 PM · Jan 23, 2023
“…it’s time to put power back in the hands of parents…” “…Parents deserve a voice on what’s being taught…”
Uh, school boards are elected locally.
So, what “options” do people in rural Missouri have? Ever think of that before your obviously thoughtless regurgitation of right wingnut dogma?
We have questions. Does one of the “choices” mean that people who don’t have children won’t have to pay the taxes that will go into funding this grift? Just asking.

Lawmakers are calling for an investigation into GoFundMe to see if they violated federal law after removing the ‘Freedom Convoy’ trucker’s fundraiser from their platform.
“They’re discriminating against conservative groups,” said @RepHartzler on Wednesday’s “Wake Up America.” 8:02 AM · Feb 9, 2022
“…on Wednesday’s ‘Wake Up America.'” Not a moment’s hesitation on their part.
As usual, the responses are priceless:
You do realize this is in Canada. So your effort to rile the racist base on this one falls flat this morning.[….]
Does she know that Canada is a whole different country with sovereignty and everything?
Things changed after the Bowling Green Massacre.
Hey Vick, Canada called and said to mind your own business in your own country! [….]

He never did get out of junior high school.
Some of the responses:
Why are you like this
See above.
Go on, say it. Be a man. Decipher it. Shout you profanities before your voters. Before your children. Before your god.
That’s the thing. They’re not quite brave enough to say it. Why not? We all know what they’re implying. So just go ahead and say it @Eric_Schmitt if you’re brave enough.
Not even hiding the grift.
There’s that, too.
Grifting.
Another perfect example of even stupid people can be elected
I guess some Democrats are outraged by this weird meme, but as “fuck Joe Biden” is really the only plank of your campaign platform, you should probably just say it. You’re going to confuse people.
You truly are a little man.
What’s the secret code for Fuck Eric Schmitt? I mean, I’m not too much of a pussy to say the real thing.
Grow up.
Your character, or lack of character is on display. This kind of behavior from our elected official is disturbing and illuminates how unfit you are for the position you hold.
You’re so pathetically desperate.
Disgusting to see someone sell himself in this manner.
Jesus so unoriginal can’t even come up with your own tag line or a winning lawsuit. Missouri can do better than this worthless garbage
You are fucking pathetic, I’m embarrassed for your family
Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Because of vaccines, we have a pathway out of this pandemic. COVID vaccines are safe, effective, and accessible. Please consider getting vaccinated.
[….] 5:56 PM · Aug 2, 2021
The marks aren’t there yet. Probably won’t ever be.
Learn the truth! The vaccine is not safe!! Look at the CDC website!!
Stop Gaslighting the public. According to VAERS over 11,000 have died from the vaccine and an equal amount have permanent disabilities from the JAB. Vaccinated people are being infected with COVID at the same rate as the unvaccinated. And you are calling it “safe & effective?”
Vaccines are killing more people than Covid now. The CDC buries the info on its website.
Liar
they do not work
Stop spreading lies! The vaccine is not safe! The test fir the vaccine has been recalled due to all false positive results. The vaccine has failed its peer test!! There is nothing safe about it!
You can’t possibly know if this is safe. It hasn’t been around long enough to know what long term effects are. List of things we were originally told were safe: cigarettes, baby powder, J&J suntan lotion, DDT, asbestos, Avandia, Zantak, the list is endless.
Yesterday Roy Blunt (r) announced that he would not seek reelection to the U.S. Senate in 2022.
Is that a new header?
This morning:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
President Biden’s open borders, closed schools agenda has created a crisis on both fronts.
It’s simple: We must secure our border and safely reopen our schools.
[….] 11:33 AM · Mar 9, 2021
There’s a rumor that there’s a global pandemic which has ben ongoing for at least a year.
As always, there’s much hilarity in the responses:
Fact Check:
Borders are not open.
No school in your district is closed.
But you still have $2,000,000 of taxpayer money you’ve pocketed in the 26+ years you’ve been a politician.
Recommended for Kevin’s next Circle Time reading:
Show us one statement or policy saying Biden wants schools closed?? Just more LIES from the @gop
The largest school district located in your own congressional district is currently 4day hybrid and transitioning to 5day in-person instruction after Spring Break (when teachers are being vaccinated)…
where exactly are you talking about schools being closed?
But wait. . .I’m confused! Didn’t you and the rest of the Republicans refuse to provide aide to the schools, by not ONE voting for the American Rescue Plan? How “patriotic” of you all!
More schools across the country are open today than since the pandemic began. Rest will open within Biden’s predicted first 100 days. Would be open now if GOP had not sat on the funds for schools and vaccine for teachers. Maybe we need a new Dr Seuss book to explain that to you!
There. Is no reason to take this current version of the republican congress seriously, they tried to overturn the election through force and failed. Seditionists, all of them.
How many school systems in Vicky’s district are still closed? Does she know? Does she realize that one of the biggest school systems in MO4 just voted to completely reopen?
Maybe Vicky should follow Roy Blunt out the door if she is so ignorant of what’s going on around her.
Would be a lot easier to tackle real problems if you Republicans worked as hard to legislate as you did to overturn elections.
Funny schools are under state and local jurisdiction, not the Biden administration. Shouldn’t members of Congress KNOW this?
And she’s a former teacher.
That’s hysterical.
No, that’s just really sad.
Said the closer of schools… In another fear mongering tweet of a lame & dated meme designed to work up the FB crowd. #GetToWork
Handy little meme ya got there. EXCEPT . . . Schools were closed because TRUMP FAILED on corona virus protection and his border wall BLEW OVER! But hey I guess the top 1% are still thanking you for the tax cut.
I can’t take Republicans seriously anymore. They’ve become completely dependent on gaslighting as a way of life.
Agreed – would love to read any whitepapers you have about how to do this and the funding streams for each.
Can you point me towards your policy proposals? Thanks!
That’s covered under “More tax breaks for billionaires”.
My kids have been teaching in class ever since this started. It’s as if you have no idea what goes on in Missouri.
Our school, in your district, has been open since August. Many of the schools in the area have been. Your buddy, Mike Parson, hasn’t even opened the vaccine to teachers in the area yet.
Cass County (your constituents) has in-person & virtual. It’s a choice. Also the border is not open. You had four years & you came up with a wall that’s ineffective. The border problem will not be fixed w/ memes. This is why we can’t take you seriously – you don’t tell the truth.
Sure Karen.
[….]
You guys are getting no traction with these talking points.
Nice comment section Vicky
Weird. The borders aren’t open, and the schools aren’t closed unless the state decides it.
Hmm.
Gas lighting for ignorant followers
Please stop making things up.
How many schools are closed in your district? Have you offered to substitute teach for a week in one of them to show teachers how it is done?
What have YOU done personally to ensure schools can open safely for students and staff?
If the President COULD open schools, wouldn’t Donald Trump have done it before he left office? You want to blame him and the unions (even though most teachers aren’t in unions) when the power to open schools is in the hands of superintendents and school boards. Please stop lying.
The president doesn’t open and close schools that’s at the state and district level. So you have voted against the relief plan that will help those in your district. Why is that? Is holding the party line more important?
Under Trump 500000 dead. Under Biden….. vaccines.. monetary help and peace of mind. Drive to the border… It’s closed.
GQP leader is a lier.
Why did you vote against aid to help open schools safely?
Don’t you have any children’s books to whine about?
That’s a lie, as you know, carry on…
Vicky, you’re an embarrassment to the state of Missouri. These are not true and you know it.
Oh, Vicky! The Biden boom is going to reopen America….despite the GQP obstruction. Americans are ready for a real leader.
Do any of you pay attention to your constituents or just search for rehashed QTrumplican talking points?
You guys are nuts
Hey, Vick. Exactly how many schools in your district are closed? Do you have any idea??
Lol! So you’re a simpleton
Is it that difficult to tell the truth? My wife has been teaching all school year. She’s risked her health, and liars like you claims schools are closed. But hey you can make more money by scaring your constituents, I guess.
Maybe ALL the Republicans shouldn’t have voted against School funding for Pandemic response. You never want to be part of the solution.
Don’t you have some Q chat rooms to be in?
You have been reduced to this. Pathetic
That, and trying to name post offices.
Remember those migrant caravans that never materialized? This is why people don’t believe you. You lie as often as you breathe. Can we just have policy and not whatever nonsense y’all are calling governing these days? It’s exhaustingly childish and stupid.
School is open. At the border, for refugees.
You’re an embarrassment. Act like a human being and not a political hack. Show some substance beyond shallow propaganda.
Not gonna happen.
One would think a Rep would know that school openings are left up to Governors and Mayors, not the President. I guess your followers are not bright enough to see you’re a liar.
Absolutely verifiably factually FALSE not to mention gaslighting bullshit.
You voted against the money to open schools safely. You and the rest of the nearly fascist GOP are well to the right of anything you could call “conservative.”

McConnell held a conference call with Senate Republicans this morning in which he pressed Hawley multiple times to explain his plans to object to the Electoral College. McConnell was met with silence, per multiple people familiar with the call. Turns out Hawley wasn’t present 1:30 PM · Dec 31, 2020
McConnell has expressed concern that GOP senators up for re-election in ‘22 will be forced to take a vote on a seemingly pointless endeavor that will imperil them either in a general or primary election
Hawley has launched a small dollar fundraising push around his move. He sent out an email this afternoon asking donors to “stand” with him. Contributions go to Hawley’s campaign account
Why is it always about the grift?
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
