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

Donald Trump, Grifter, grifting, right wingnut

“…a focal point for protests…”

It’s part of the brand.

On the scene.

Trump’s controversial hotel in D.C. will reportedly be sold and renamed
November 15, 2021 11:56 AM ET

Former President Donald Trump’s company has agreed to sell its Trump International Hotel operation in Washington, D.C., according to multiple reports. The deal is said to be worth $375 million and will result in the Trump name being removed from the landmark property that stands close to the White House.

[….]

The Trump International Hotel location opened on Pennsylvania Avenue in the fall of 2016, just a few months before Trump was inaugurated. It quickly became known as an enclave for Republican allies of Trump, as well as a focal point for protests against the president.

[….]

$375,000,000.00, eh? Must be nice.

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

Brownshirts, Donald Trump, fascists, Grifter, grifting, phone, text

I received the following text on my phone from Donald Trump’s (r) campaign [1-660-243-9318]:

Vote
#StopTheSteal
I’d never thought I’d see this in America. The Democrats are STEALING THIS ELECTION in real time.
* ‘Clerical errors’ added 100K votes overnight!
* Widespread ballot harvesting in MINNESOTA,
* Poll workers bragging about throwing away Trump votes in PENNSYLVANIA,
* Democratic operatives secretly counting ballots in GEORGIA…after sending poll watchers home
#StopTheSteal
Democrtas will get away with it…unless you and I lead the charge to fight back, hold them accountable, and FAIRLY WIN THIS RACE for President Trump. We are on the ground with legal resources ready to help! Will you make a donation today of $25 to help? [….]

No, I did not sign up to receive texts from Donald Trump’s (r) Brownshirts.

I immediately replied:

Fuck of[f] you Fascist pigs.

And, as you can probably tell, I rarely text.
