Eric Schmitt (r), this afternoon:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 25, 2025]
Look at the current leaders of the Democrat Party—it’s like a Star Wars bar of radical leftists.

What a clown.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

I’ll take Star Wars characters over Dumb and Dumber characters any day.

Ooh, that one left a mark.

That’s what I was thinking! You mean a diverse group of people interacting in the same room? Speaking different languages and co-existing??? Sounds damn good to me!!

The Democratic Party isn’t in charge of what is occurring right now. Talk to me how you will be helping Missourian’s feed their children and pay their bills.

How come ya starting to worry about Democrats?

*Democratic Party. You know that, Senator Eric Schmitt, member of the Grand Old Pedophile President Protection Party.

lol you’re laughably outta touch if you actually believe anything you’re saying. Ah the ways you need to comfort yourself with these comments. Running scared. As a Missourian, the GOP has been in power here for 20+ years making this place more unbearable and unlivable by the day. Feeling worried you haven’t done your job well enough for this next election? GOOD. #hotcommiesummer

Could you and Hawley get any further up Trump’s arse. You grew up in Bridgeton- a middle class neighborhood- and now you’re taking things away from the middle class. How do you sleep at night knowing what you’re doing. You had neighbors that were struggling with their businesses back then but you apparently were the “chosen ” child in your family. You have a child yourself who has special needs (but he’s covered with OUR insurance). Stop being so uppity and get back to your roots, it’s not becoming on you. Your lies and stories against the left side so you can get “atta boy” from the pedophiles in the house is sickening.

Senator Eric Schmitt you guys are big scared of Mamdani, huh?

Yep.

Better than an insane bootlicking fascist evangelical neonazi death cult

Your daddy uses the term “shylocks” Eric Schmitt

Let’s talk about you protecting pedophiles first. Way more important than the NYC Mayor’s race to most of your consituents. How long will you protect them?

Your party is led by a senile pedophile, you shouldn’t be throwing stones while you’re living in that glass house.

Look at the current leader of our country … we all know that the more you focus on Biden and the left, it is strictly an attempt to distract from the shitstorm that is our current administration. And it makes you look weak and the least transparent of all.

GOP = GUARDIANS OF PEDOPHILES

Epstein. Epstein. Epstein.

Funny that you ridicule Mamdani, but you embrace a failed businessman, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

There’s that.

7th Congressional District, Donald Trump, Epstein files, Eric Burlison, Jeffrey Epstein, missouri, pass the popcorn, popcorn, right wingnut, social media

“…and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker…”

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

On one hand:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

On the other:

This isn’t about politics.
It’s about the rule of law.
Trafficking victims deserve justice.
The American people deserve truth.
No more secrets. Release the files.

Eric Burlison
July 16 at 8:10 PM

The DOJ didn’t “accidentally” forget the client list.
They’re hoping you stop asking.
Don’t.

Eric Burlison
July 16 at 9:15 PM

Congress has the power to force transparency.
That’s exactly what we’re doing.
We must bring the release of the Epstein files to a vote.

Eric Burlison
July 17 at 9:05 AM

You don’t shut the door on one of the worst sex trafficking scandals in history
and expect the country to just move on.

Eric Burlison
July 17 at 2:50 PM

The American people were promised transparency.
Instead they got sealed files and a “case closed” headline.
It’s time to pull back the curtain.
Let the vote happen. Release everything.

Eric Burlison
July 17 at 4:58 PM

Powerful people used Epstein.
The government knows who they are.
We demand the list. Not redactions. Not excuses.

Eric Burlison
July 17 at 8:10 PM

The DOJ quietly closed the Epstein case.
No charges. No names. No justice.
So we’re forcing the issue.
I’ve cosponsored a discharge petition to bring the full Epstein files to a vote in the House.

Eric Burlison
July 18 at 2:50 PM

They said Epstein’s crimes were “in the past.”
But the victims are still waiting.
The American people are still waiting.
Who was he protecting?

“…and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker…”

“…because I don’t want their support anymore!…”

Pass the popcorn.

“…and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will…” That’s what Donald Trump (r) thinks of his base.

Almost ready.

4th Congressional District, Donald Trump, Epstein files, former newsreader, Jeffrey Epstein, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Today, from Mark Alford (r):

For years, including on my last day as a television news anchor, I have said the only thing that matters is the truth.

The situation surrounding the Justice Department’s files related to Jeffrey Epstein and his associates is gravely concerning. I urge Attorney General Pam Bondi to responsibly release any files in its possession, including the underlying evidence that led to the memo stating that a so-called ‘client list’ does not exist.

We cannot allow this unfortunate sideshow to tarnish the legacy of the greatest president of my lifetime, Donald J. Trump, I agree with aura Trump: The Administration must provide complete and total transparency – the American people deserve nothing less.

Rep. Mark Alford (MO-04)

Uh, it’s Donald Trump’s Administration, Mark.

Pass the popcorn.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Congressman Mark Alford you are such a fucking fool. A shill, you’re the mark you fucking idiot.

Congressman Mark Alford So, when is this going to be released? Why did you vote in a late night session to not release the files to the public? This is not Transparency!

This statement will cost you because tRump will not like it! He’s the one holding it up so it can be “adjusted?”

In other words, even you don’t believe there was no list.

If Trump wasn’t in the files, he’d be selling gold encrusted autographed copies.

OUCH! Reality is really hard for the magat cult to deal with. We can find the truth so easily, RELEASE THE FILES you republican liars.

Apparently you didn’t get your boss’ note to drop it. Probably because he’s at the top of the list.

She said it does exist, and it was on her desk. Gee, how does it no longer exist?

You’re asking Trump for transparency? 😂

The grifting continues

Face it, MAGA, if your President’s name weren’t all over the Epstein files, they would have been released unredacted, printed, and bound in $200 special editions signed by Trump, recorded as an audio book by James Wood and Mel Gibson, and tattooed on Lauren Boebert’s lower back.

“Greatest president” of who’s lifetime? We don’t need a list we know he is atop of it. He quoted “I love Jeffrey, he is a fun man and we both love beautiful women”

But yet you voted no to release…. 🤔

Republicans voted against releasing them last night in the rules committee. Every democrat voted yes. Tells me everything I need to know about your party.

Apparently the Republican Party have some other daytime job, because they only seem to “work for us” at night.. unless they are hiding something.

You lost me at “greatest president of my lifetime”.

Heh.

Get a room, dude. If Trump WASN’T on the Epstien list, he would have it published already.

Transparency under Trump? On what planet do you reside?

Maybe you should push for release of the files and reserve your praise until you see the facts?

Didn’t Republican House members just block a request to require them to be released to the public?

You have done nothing to abate lies and conspiracies….now you expect
“Truth” to prevail?

You have done nothing to abate lies and conspiracies….now you expect
“Truth” to prevail?

We see what you did there.

It is Trump demanding they shut up about Epstein. He’s ordering everyone to drop it. He needs this to go away.

A few hours ago you could have actually taken action to bring this about but chickened out along with every other Republican in the House. Not sure your statement here is very sincere.

Please stop chemtrails asap

Taco AGAIN

If it doesn’t exist why was there a need to vote on its release. You must think your constituents are not very smart.

You lost me (and others) when you wrote “We cannot allow this unfortunate sideshow to tarnish the legacy of the greatest president of my lifetime…”.
Really? Really? Just when I thought you “MIGHT” finally figure out how to do the right thing, you show how much of a POS you really are. By the way, there is not enough “Brasso” in the World to restore Trump’s tarnished reputation. It doesn’t even rise to anything close to a “legacy”, except that of a FELON…

God Damn you’re full of shit! “ by responsibly …you remove Trumps name? The Greatest president in your lifetime sure the fuck is not this clown ! Pam Bondi yeah! How about the Republicans who just voted down releasing the list?

Too bad Republicans killed it in committee last night. All Democrats voted for the release. All Talk, no action

Does kissing Trump’s a$$ pay well, or is your district full of MAGA Nazis?

Sideshow? You call for the files, then you downplay the importance.
The fact that you think the felon is the greatest president of your lifetime only means you’re not paying attention, or you’re a sycophant. Probably both.

Definitely dim.

Your “greatest President of all time” is a pedophile. 🤢🤮

What drugs are you on that Felon 47 is the greatest president of your lifetime? I am older than you and have been a Republican since 1972 and I can honestly say that he is the most corrupt and incompetent president in history.

Trump’s the greatest president of your lifetime?? That you would even lie like that. You sorry simp..ROTFLMAO..🤣🤣🤣🤣

“the greatest president of my lifetime” is a perverse and loathsome human being without an ounce of integrity.

Sucker.

I have news for you, Trump’s reputation has been tarnished for decades! You may be a smitten fool, but the majority of citizens do not worship him!

You must’ve missed Trump supporting Pam
And must’ve missed Trumps cabinet meeting yelling at a reporter for asking about it
You’re still kissing his butt. Open your eyes mark

You have done nothing to abate lies and conspiracies….now you expect
“Truth” to prevail?

What has he done to make us great? He’s a convicted felon, a narcissistic liar about all things, a grifter, a cheater, etc. etc. We are a laughing stock to the rest of the world and you are allowing him to continue to do the damage.

Donald Trump legacy was tarnish long before this!
Just to name a few, bragged about grabbing women by their genitalia, bragged about going into teenage girls dressing rooms unannounced because he owned the Miss Teen USA pageant. Telling a reporter, that if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter, he would want to have sex with her.
Several photos of Trump with Jeffery Epstein, but, when asked Trump said he barely knew Epstein. Convinced by
a judge and Jury that Trump is a sexual predator. Had sex with a Porn Star while his wife was pregnant with his son. If Trump is the greatest President in your lifetime, in your opinion, then you have set the bar pretty low!

You’re crazy. The greatest president in your lifetime. How can any reasonable person say such a thing?
