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 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.
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:
Im tried of paying for all your mistakes
And you certainly didn’t pay attention when they covered communication skills in school.
And, as always, when someone submits a comment here their email address and I.P. address are linked to the comment in our site database.

SATAN’S DISCIPLES
When someone submits a comment here their email address and I.P. address are linked to the comment.
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. [….]
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Critical Race Theory is a warped and divisive ideology that separates KIDS by race and into categories of “privileged” & “oppressed.”
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.
As always, we’re not allowing ignorant comments like these out of moderation to be linked with the original post, but we will present some of them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit.
We get another comment:
This article is completely laughable and highly biased. The author is obviously incapable of accepting proven research that differs from his opinion.
The post is a first hand source. That is, we were there. We took photos. We published the photos. We recorded audio. We posted the audio. There is no bias in those elements. There is no opinion in those elements. We agree that the public comments were completely laughable. We stated:
…“they” showed up to complain about masks and vaccines, spouting misinformation which would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous to others…
What “proven” research? Cite it. Explain how that works. We’ll wait.
In a later post:
[….]It was definitely not a virtuoso display of critical thinking skills. Thirty or so people in a county with a population of approximately 54,000.
Whining about a local school district “making” school children wear masks, while being lax in their enforcement, while being too strict in their enforcement, and possibly making students follow established policy.
Masks designated for biological use don’t work for paint (uh, wrong type), therefore they won’t work for their intended purpose.
Wearing a mask will cause you to breathe excessive amounts of carbon dioxide, never mind that highly skilled surgeons and medical personnel wear masks for hours. Seriously, would anyone want their medical team to do otherwise?
How many individuals in Johnson County have been fully vaccinated? Definitely more than thirty anti-science luddites. [….]

Unvaccinated students have been banned from K-12 and college for many years. Polio, smallpox, etc. This is nothing new.
We already have to get vaccinated to attend school. Are your children not vaccinated against polio or smallpox?
“Routine smallpox vaccination among the American public stopped in 1972 after the disease was eradicated in the United States.” – CDC
I couldn’t go to elementary school without my MMR vaccine as a kid, among others.
At least 24 states require college students to be vaccinated against meningitis; at least 16 states require Hep B shots.
Many colleges also require MMR and TDap shots.
All without being called Nazis.
[….]
You have a severe misunderstanding of:
A. Historical Nazis
B. The history of mandatory vaccines for schools.
You should ask one of @mattgaetz girlfriends to explain the second one before she goes back to high school in the fall.
Read the replies Mags. It’s already a thing. It’s already been a thing for years. Yet here you are just trying to rile people up because you absolutely KNOW the people who follow you are too dumb to know the difference. You play them for the fools they are. When will they learn?
What does that first sentence even mean?
I literally had to show my records to go to college in 2000, this is not new
COVID-19
Two thing separate the US from the rest of the world
1 masks
2 vaccinations
I love the fact that you actually think you are smart!!!!
Dunning-Kruger.
psst…Marge, when my daughters started college, they had to have proof of vaccinations. Come to think of it, when they started Kindergarten, they had to have proof of vaccinations.
Required vaccinations are nothing new, my kids needed their MMR, DPT, chicken pox, polio vaccines to go to school. Even back when I was a kid I was required! Do you know how absolutely ridiculous you sound?
Dunning-Kruger.
You do know who the Nazis were, don’t you Marge?
False equivalency, Ms Greene. Even in your home state of Georgia since 01 July 2014 all students from grade 7 onwards must have must have received one dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and one dose of meningococcal (meningitis) vaccine.
Students already have to show proof of vaccinations for other pathogens before attending college, unless they apply for (and are granted) an exemption for religious or medical reasons. Campuses are germ factories; the many vaccinated protect the few who cannot be.
Marjorie Taylor Greene plumbs the depth of stupidity and evil.
The horrifying, noxious idea that Nazi attacks on Jews before their extermination were somehow NOT part of the Holocaust
Jews in ghettoes forced to wear the yellow star was part of the Holocaust
You stupid monster.
Her stupidity is not an excuse.
Does she understand that we have required vaccines in schools for decades?
Oh, stop. Y’all hate college anyway. You all are so good at not having any fundamental belief system. Owning libs isn’t political strategy, you psychopath.
You are vile.
Comparing the slaughter of 6 million Jewish mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, babies to requiring proof of a life-saving vaccine, so we can end a global pandemic?
What is wrong with you?
You need help.
Can you even read?
#FuckOffNazi
Breathtaking stupidity.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, in association with Matt Gaetz, spell the end for the modern Republican Party as a viable political party going forward.
The embrace of the GOP of these two clowns is an amazing act of self-sabotage.
Dimwit just learned schools require vaccinations? Just fu
It takes a special kind of stupid to double down on the holocaust comparisons.

The Mueller Report, despite being written by Angry Democrats and Trump Haters, and with unlimited money behind it ($35,000,000), didn’t lay a glove on me. I DID NOTHING WRONG. If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court. Not only…… 7:10 AM – 24 Apr 2019

When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.
Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law…
It might help to actually read what’s in the United States Constitution.
