Today:

Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford
It was a busy week in Washington and we accomplished a great deal.

This coming week we’ll address the CCP spy balloon that was allowed to fly over Whiteman AFB, and hold Biden accountable during his #SOTU.

Until then, here’s our Capitol Recap
[….]
1:14 PM · Feb 5, 2023

“…hold Biden accountable during his #SOTU…”

What are you going to do, fart loudly? Just asking.

“…we’ll address the CCP spy balloon that was allowed to fly over Whiteman AFB…”

JFC. Give your faux outrage a rest. They can just look it up, you know, on the Internets:

Counterintelligence, anyone, anyone?

What an ignoranimus.

Today, from the former newsreader:

Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford
Socialism is Evil. It’s sad that we even have to have a resolution to make sure the Democrats know this.

Our nation has been led astray. Hear my complete speech on the house floor supporting the resolution to condemn socialism [….]
10:05 AM · Feb 2, 2023

Did you look under your bed? Wait, no, that would be the republican party that’s into people’s bedrooms.

What a maroon.

Some responses:

The 4th district deserves so much better than you. Go back to Texas

Shocker. Mark doesn’t understand literally anything. This is all performative. Who cares about “denouncing.” This results in absolutely NOTHING for your constituents and Missouri as a whole. What a joke.

He could be naming post offices.

Was never allowed to watch a public broadcasting children’s show because….Satan!

You miss out on those early basics of critical thinking.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

From time to time a right wingnut concern troll will try to leave a comment here. Our system defaults to automatic moderation – that is, comments have to be approved. We don’t allow such comments to be linked to the original post, but on occasion, when we see fit, we’ll mock these attempts.

We see fit.

An attempted comment to a post about the priorities of the right wingnut republican controlled Missouri General Assembly:

Why not even the odds…why are you not doing the same on the Democrats? If your really concerned about inflation check on all parties Not just one!

Uh, actual reality:

Republicans maintain supermajority in Missouri Legislature following midterms
by Ryan Pivoney | November 10, 2022 at 4:03 a.m.

Republicans maintained their supermajority in both chambers of the Missouri General Assembly after Tuesday’s election.

Republicans hold 111 of the 163 seats in the Missouri House and 24 of the 34 seats in the state Senate, according to unofficial election results from the Missouri Secretary of State. Democrats have 52 seats in the House and 10 seats in the Senate. A two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate are needed to override governor vetoes.

Republicans have maintained control of both chambers for the past two decades.
[….]

Contemplate the meaning of a “veto proof majority” and how the Missouri General Assembly has operated for the past twenty years. You know, actually pay attention.

“…Even the odds…”

What is that supposed to mean?

Ignoranimus.

Selective memory. Selective outrage.

Eric Burlison (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday:

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
The mental gymnastics the media and the left are going through to ignore the Biden classified docs while simultaneously crucifying Trump is just one more example of the absurd double standards that exist today.
5:20 PM · Jan 12, 2023

Ignoranimus.

Two responses so far:

You haven’t been watching/listening to the news. BTW, do YOU condemn Trump’s handling of classified documents as you have Biden’s? Be fair, Congressman.

With an I.Q. as high as yours, The mental gymnastics you must go through just to tie you shoes…
-Wait, what… They’re Velcro!?
>The mental gymnastics you must go through just to put on your shoes must be tiring

Heh.

This was then. Eric Burlison (r), August 2022:

Eric Burlison @EricBurlison
It’s disgusting how the Obama and now Biden administration have weaponized our judicial system against Trump. They investigated him and put him through hell over the bogus Steele Dossier, and now they do THIS. This swamp must be drained. These are the actions of a banana republic
5:27 AM · Aug 9, 2022

Some of the response back then:

What’s disgusting is a lawless President who escapes accountability again and again because of his money, power, and propaganda, and folks like you defending him.

You still a Trump Republican now Eric? Tik tok.

Still is, evidently.

Local man running for Congress can’t think of anything to say.

Huh? The bits of your tweet that I can make any sense of are, in fact, untrue. Obama & Biden had nothing to do w the TON of evidence of Russian collusion in 2016 that had nothing to do w the preliminary notes that made up the “Steele Dossier.” Couldn’t you squeeze Hunter in here?

Yeah. I agree. It’s really weird how the legal system is so hard on criming criminals who commit crimes. And as far as the Steele dossier goes, you do know Manafort is telling everyone and the bartender that he was giving info to a Russian agent to “settle his debts”, right?

Someone who doesn’t know what “banana republic” means shouldn’t be running for office.

Please open a history book sometime.

WHAT? Trump? The person that planned an insurrection because he LOST an election!
No problem if mob HUNG his VP! Incited violence & trashing Capitol!
Took & kept top secret documents illegally!
Wow. You are off course. Trump is a CRIMINAL.

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

An attempted comment to a post about the ladder-climbing fist-pumping insurrectionist:

It sounds like Democrats have a moral code for thee but not for me. They are throwing stones and our memories are good… the riots they supported & a president that gives all appearance of being pals with China.

Since your part of the conversation appears to be about morality, let’s take a look at the grifting, pussy grabbing, thrice married serial adulterer you voted for (probably twice). You don’t have a good memory. You evidently do have the attention span of a gnat and half the IQ.

Riot? Try seditious conspiracy.

China? China? Appearances? How about reality?

Dumbass.

What is it with self-righteous right wingnuts and their compulsion to troll?

“…We don’t allow ignorant comments out of moderation to be linked with the original post, but we do occasionally present some of them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit…”

We see fit.

We encountered another comment to last night’s post covering a pro-choice demonstration in Kansas City:

And you certainly didn’t pay attention when they covered communication skills in school.

Last night:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
In the U.S. Senate I’ll dismantle the Administrative State. [….]
9:22 PM · Jun 8, 2022

Ignoranimus.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

What will you dismantle? No FDA, OSHA, FBI, FCC, NASA, EPA, etc.?

You won’t make it so it’s a moot point

Never misunderestimate the political savy of Missouri republican primary voters.

The administrative state that is currently suing school districts in Missouri?

Heh. That one left a mark.

You’re not going to be a Senator.

Channeling your inner steve bannon I see, how low will you go?

What, precisely, is the administrative state?

So you will fire yourself on day one?

Google “Dunning-Kruger Effect”

Dayam. Heh.

I believe that you’ll tweet about. I don’t believe you’ll do more than that.

You will not be elected to the Senate. You are a not very smart failure who has never presented a thoughtful cohesive plan concerning the real issues that effect the daily lives of Missourians and their quality of life. It’s almost academic at this point that you will lose.

See above.

Can Eric “dismantle the Administrative State” by filing fake lawsuits and tweeting nonsense or does he have a hidden talent?

No, that’s it.

No you won’t. US Senate exists to keep any and all legislation from ever passing. Arcane rules and gross over representation of the minority of Americans. In this case keeping your radical conservatism to useless fox sound bites. I guess that’s a bonus.

Unfortunately there are two sets of rules.

What exactly is the administrative state? The govt? You’re going to dismantle the govt? WTF are you blabbering about? [….]

Based on your record we can’t believe you’ll do anything of value in any role. Go away. [….]

This afternoon:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Critical Race Theory is a warped and divisive ideology that separates KIDS by race and into categories of “privileged” & “oppressed.”

It should have no place in our schools. #moleg #CRT
3:14 PM · Mar 14, 2022

Some of the responses:

Just do two simple things here Eric to give your case any credence or support, just like has to be done in court for standing:

1. Define CRT.
2. Identify three examples where CRT is being taught to children in the state of Missouri.

Narrator: “Eric Schmitt can’t. He never could.”

It is also taught in zero public schools in the United States, much less Missouri. So, you are aggressively fighting and trying to create legislation to govern nothing.

That’s not what CRT is, and CRT isn’t being taught in schools.

You are fractally wrong, attacking our educational system for petty culture wars points.

Racism is what’s warped and divisive, not telling the truth about it.

It is not in our school and you don’t know what it is.

Please explain to me which schools this college level course is being taught.

Your pants are on fire [….]

Define it. Give a human example, and not a politically void bumper sticker.
We’ll wait

Narrator: “They waited forever.”

Oh gosh, it’s the CRT Boogieman, again! Such a lie! It’s not taught in public K-12!

#CRT isn’t taught in #Missouri schools. Find another meme.

What is Critical Race Theory?

How would you teach how Missouri entered the union? Please provide lesson plans so teachers won’t be attacked for teaching “CRT”.

It isn’t in our schools and shame on you for suggesting it is! You are uninformed, or willing stooge for the far right and you should never be MO’s senator!

Could you give a succinct definition of CRT?

Narrator: “He can’t.”

Excusable neglect is going to be Eric Schmitt’s (r) campaign slogan. One way or another.
