4th Congressional District, former newsreader, Iran, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, sycophant, Trump sycophant

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 10, 2025]

We stand with the people of Iran.

These bold protests, led by incredibly courageous people, represent an opportunity for Iranians to finally be free of oppression and terror.
America and the world will be safer and more stable when the Islamic Republic is dismantled.

Some of the responses:

How about standing with US citizens against our government that is demanding we show papers, follow orders or you will be killed.
ICE tactics, policies and procedures need a review.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” – George Orwell 1984.

Now how about us? The right to assemble without fear of being injured or death. And the files and uphold our constitution instead of stepping on it.

Yet, you don’t stand with the protesters here, the ones who want to stop our freedoms being revoked and our constitution from being shredded. We too want to be free of oppression and terror.
The hypocrisy is strong.

You stand with Iran but not Minnesota? Right.

If only you would support the American citizens who protest the tyranny and oppression of the current administration.

“America and the world will be safer and more stable when the *trump administration* is dismantled.” Fixed it.

While YOUR leader OPPRESSES CITIZENS who speak in OPPOSITION TO YOUR FASCIST CULT

Mark Alford only stands for Mark Alford!

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Do you stand with the people of the USA who are being terrorized?

You meant to say when this current administration is dismantled! Worst administration in US history and it is not even close!!!!!

The US would be free of terror and oppression if ICE was dismantled.

Stand with the brave inti fascist protesters in the USA Mark!

Meanwhile in America…

We stand with the people of Minnesota.

How about standing with the American people 🤔

You’ll stand for anyone except US citizens

We need to free ourselves from this fascist regime in America

Have you already predetermined which performative Bible verse you willl post tomorrow?

So you’ve decided to stand with USA citizens or just Iranians?

Propaganda is well known and we see what you’re doing here.

So what you’re saying is that it’s not about the people of Iran, it’s about America..

During meetings in 2020, President Donald Trump suggested to officials the idea of shooting protesters in the legs or feet, according to accounts from former Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other sources. No

You support the Iranian protest, but not American ones? Why was it OK for Renée Good to be murdered?

It’s sort of weird seeing you condemn Iran’s government for killing unarmed protesters while applauding the US government for doing the same.
Surreal…

So, if Iranian Federal Agents start shooting Iranian protesters, you won’t be upset, right?

I hope the Iranian people are able to restore the democracy they lost due to US interference in 1953 and to build it back stronger.

“America first.” No more wars! You already forgot that we just had a peaceful protester shot in the face.

But America first, right???
Really a bitch statement, mark.

STFU Trump sycophant

You don’t stand with anyone, Mark.

You scream blatant Islamophobia then say this unironically.

Oh you stand with the people of Iran but not with the Muslims who live in this country.
Oh you stand with the people of Iran but not with the people here.
How pathetic and hypocritical can you be?

Congressman Mark Alford – the Iranans aren’t going to turn Iran into a Christian Nationalist democracy and build statues to Jesus and Donald Trump. They’ll replace, at best, one Islamic government with another. No different than your fellow MAGA Republicans plan to replace Trump with a similar right-wing faux Christian Nationalist.

so, are you ready to invade Iran yourself to “stand with the people of Iran?”

You are such a damn hypocrite. And tomorrow you’ll share another biblical verse with us that further highlights your hypocrisy.

You find it’s so much easier to praise foreign protesters than do anything to help your domestic constituents. What a loser.

You want to stand with the protesters in another country, but condone the murder of protesters in your own country
Let me say this as clearly as I can.
Go.
F*ck.
Yourself.

[….] Dear god, just when I think you can’t get any worse … you go one up on your hypocricy. Do your job, honor your oath, and stand up for the people in YOUR OWN country, you toxic piece of MAGAt cult trash. You are totally and completely unfit to serve. The 4th District deserves so much better.
[….]

Donald Trump is a terrorist.

Too bad you don’t stand with the people of the United States, instead you support Ice with their gestapo tactics. Irony???

The irony is astounding. That those words could come out of your face is ridiculous. Those protestors over there are mainly liberal…left leaning. And secular. Not conservative. So, you hate leftists over here but applaud them over there? How convenient.

Why is DHS and ice using propaganda to try and get people killed? Oh. Do you think it might be to try and get people killed? Our federal government wants American citizens to die.

Are you kidding???? Why don’t you stand with the people of the United States???? Because, YOUR regime is doing to US what Iran’s is doing to THEIR peaceful protesters!!!
HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS???
YOU are not the ruler of the world!
What happened to taking care of YOUR OWN BACKYARD, ‘cuz, I gotta say…it’s looking really neglected.

Now do Juan Orlando Hernández and Honduras

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 3, 2026]

We strongly support President Trump and the administration’s bold actions to take illegitimate Venezuelan President and narco terrorist Nicolas Maduro into U.S. custody.

Venezuelan drugs have poisoned our communities for far too long and we look forward to Maduro facing swift and severe justice.

Thank you to our brave service members, law enforcement officials, and special operators who carried out this successful operation.

It must have been 401 tons of drugs that did it.

One month ago.

….President Trump formally granted the pardon on December 1, 2025, and Hernández was released from prison on the same day, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 after a U.S. federal jury convicted him of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras between 2004 and 2022. In his pardon announcement, President Trump asserted that Hernández had been treated “unfairly”

[….]

Some Honduran legal analysts have characterized the Hernández pardon as a “mockery” and a “slap in the face” to the Honduran people and have expressed concerns that the pardon could send a message to Hondurans that those who engage in high-level corruption remain beyond the reach of justice. The Honduran attorney general has suggested that Hernández may face charges should he return to Honduras, where he reportedly is the subject of an open investigation….

It’s the oil.

Clueless:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 1, 2026]

Happy New Year, MO-04. Our best days are still ahead!
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

You should remove this post buddy. You are still not being received well. 🙄

Jack Smith’s deposition video: [….]

WHO’S “best days” are you referring to?? The top 10%? All the Billionaire$ partying in St. Bart’s? Crypto-scammers?? AI scammers?? Pardons-for-SALE purchasers?? Oil and coal robber-baron corps?? Mercs-R-US ICE?? Whoever’s making toilet paper out of the Constitution?? WHO’S “BEST DAYS” are you talking about? Cuz it ain’t the millions who’re getting screwed on health care or groceries or the rising utility bills or seniors or — gee — much of ANY of the working folks.

Quiet,Piggy.
[….]

I’m from Missouri to show me state You got to show me and right now I ain’t seeing a lot.

Best days won’t hit until late January 2029.

Happy increase in your health insurance premiums day.
Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it.
Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up.
Call your Rep and Senators.

Our best day for MO-04 will be voting you out in November.

Well, I hope so. Last year was brutal for the Constitution and anyone who loves it. Perhaps it will be a better year for separation of powers, checks and balances, and due process.

Yes, Happy New Year to all those who can’t afford their insurance now.

Day 1 of the Congressman Mark Alford and the republicans health care rise. With no plan.

GOP Healthplan
– 789 Weeks since POTUS said “GOP Healthcare Plan will be out”
-15 years since ACA passed into law, GOP plan?
– 54 votes to tear the ACA apart, replaced with?
The GOP has NO health-plan, none, zero, zippo!

The GOP Plan for Access to Healthcare.

Over 1 million lost their jobs this year. Ask them

There’s a certain 4 letter word I think of when I see you pop up. And you’re full of it.

Happy New Year Mark !Maybe you could list all the wonderful things you’ve done this year I mean actual bills or votes or actual things that benefited your constituents instead of posting on social media all the wonderful places you’ve gone to visit in Missouri on the taxpayers dollar… all while enjoying the best healthcare insurance plan available. I’ll be waiting for your next post listing all of your wonderful achievements.

Are you resigning?

Heh.

You all will be saying everything is great even when the boat is filling full of water.

Happy ??? 24 Million Citizens Health Insurance ballooned today !!! BUT you don’t have to worry, Taxpayers pay your health insurance and you make $174,000 annually

Mark can we hear how the Republican healthcare plan is going.

the Republican Healthcare plan under Congressman Mark Alford consists of letting millions of Americans die and go into poverty attempting to survive illness. They got nothing and never will. 🤬

Unless you keep my Obamacare intact… I’m screwed Mr.Alford!

Yes, the best day will be Jan. 20, 2029, when the felon leaves office.

ROT IN HELL goddamn maga garbage

Congressman Mark Alford, that is exactly what a person such as yourself with affordable health insurance premiums would say.
However, due to your unfitness for office approximately 22 million individuals will not be able to afford their health insurance premiums.
Although they can take comfort in knowing their tax dollars will continue to fund your more than comfortable lifestyle including health insurance.
Unfortunately the best days of 2026 could be the loss of health insurance because the past history of yourself, your fellow Congressional Republicans, and Trump is one disaster after another.

Congressman Mark Alford, what a year! Fascist, authoritarian rule, a Republican controlled Congress, including yourself, who are completely sycophantic and aren’t doing what you were elected to do, masked, armed thugs roaming the streets harassing and arresting anyone who fails the ultra white test, insurance made unaffordable, tariffs causing inflation and unemployment leading to higher food prices.

You’ll always be a total asswipe Markie.

Healthcare not affordable. No great new healthcare plan as promised by republicans. Groceries not affordable. Housing not affordable. Alford you need to resign.

After the last year with the trump Regime’s control unchecked corruption and complete disregard for the constitution. The next 3 years are looking grim.

Happy New Year, Congressman. But let’s not pretend all is well. If our best days are still ahead, we need leaders who act like it—not ones who:
🗳️ Push to federalize gerrymandering
Instead of protecting voters, some in Congress are working to undermine fair elections—proposing legislation and court challenges that rig maps and silence the will of the people.
⚠️ Strip away health and safety protections
You’ve voted to eliminate regulations that protect clean air, water, and food safety—all while calling it “freedom.” But real freedom doesn’t mean toxic rivers or dangerous workplaces.
💉 Sow confusion about vaccines and public health
Instead of supporting science, your party has politicized medicine, spread disinformation, and undercut the professionals trying to save lives. That’s not leadership—it’s negligence.
🏛️ Waste time renaming the Kennedy Center
While families struggle with rising costs and crumbling infrastructure, you’re focused on symbolic culture war stunts—not solutions.
🛢️ Drum up conflict overseas for oil
Stoking tensions in Venezuela under the guise of “freedom”—but let’s be honest: it’s about fossil fuels. Meanwhile, clean energy and peace get left behind.
🏥 Continue to block real healthcare reform
Millions still can’t afford to see a doctor and millions more will be added to this since the subsidies have been eliminated. We need the ACA subsidies, Medicare expansion, mental health investment, and reproductive care—not more obstruction.
So no, it doesn’t feel like a “Happy New Year” for everyone in MO-04.
Not when power games are prioritized over people.
Not when public trust is treated like a punchline.
Not when your votes say more than your holiday posts ever could.
We deserve a better 2026.

Let them watch football on TV

4th Congressional District, Kansas, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sportsball

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 22, 2025]

We’re disappointed to see the Chiefs’ announcement that they will move across the state line.

While this is a set back for the KCMO metro area, I know Governor Mike Kehoe did everything in his power to get them to stay. I applaud Governor Kehoe and the state legislature’s steadfast leadership throughout this process.

With this behind us, it’s time to move forward. We must deliver real prosperity, job opportunities, and economic development by thoughtfully eliminating the state income tax, while at the federal level, we work to bring home responsible federal investments through my work on the House Committee on Appropriations.

Together, we will turn the “Show Me State” into the “Grow Me State.”

You can smell the desperate fear.

Too bad it had to be over sportsball.

Some of the responses:

BS. The GOP controlled legislature was too busy overturning the will of the voters on minimum wage and abortion. Holding hearings and votes on how to make trans youth lives a hell hole.
They should have been busy on the stadiums.

Kansas tried this perpetual cutting taxes nonsense and figured out that subtracting all the time doesn’t end well. Looks like MO is dumb enough to think they can do it ‘better’ by pretending that subtraction is really addition. 🥴

==========

What did the Governor do exactly to prevent this from happening?

Mike Kehoe (r) [2025 file photo].

Attended some Cheifs games in a VIP box.

good photo ops.

All while criticizing KC saying we were crime-ridden.

LOL, Kehoe campaigned mightily on the fact he was going to keep the Chiefs in MO no matter what. You the taxpayer paid $175-225K for the #MOLEG Special Session that was supposed to keep the team in the state. Just goes to show how ineffective and incompetent the Republican Majority Controlled Missouri Legislature really is.

the governor gets the blame just as the governor of Kansas is being lauded for her efforts . But the truth when 2 red states are raiding each other it seems the people lose and it’s a rush to the bottom for the area . Moving of a team like this takes away lots of business and economic activity.. Catching a game during the season is a highlight of visiting that area . It’s going to be part of Kehoe’s record that the team was lost under his watch . People lost businesses and jobs

to quote Mark, “the Governor did everything in his power…”. And that was what exactly?

He rambled on……

==========

They HAD to move. Trump** already thought they were from Kansas. 😜

Yep.

Guess there is now going to be some open space for yet another AI Data Center!

For the win!

Concepts of a stadium plan… or something like that.

We see what you did there.

Congressman Mark Alford, I have no idea why you would applaud Kehoe’s feeble attempt at negotiating with the Chiefs franchise. Oh, I forgot, politicians of the same party stick together even during bonehead decisions.

because Congressman Mark Alford is a major a$$ kisser. He can’t help it.

4th and short. Incomplete pass. Turn over on the Stateline.

Heh.

That’s what you call: “If God gives you lemons, make urine”

Apparently, there’s a plan or something.

3 billion dollars directly to the pockets of a man already worth 24 billion is a scam, not business.

Spend more time wooing the chiefs than gerrymandering!

But did they try to sprinkle some tariffs on it?

Don’t you mean a “Grow Weed State”?

Real curious what attendance is going to look like for the Thursday night game?

We’re about to find out.

Republican Governor Kehoe and the Republican dominated state legislature with a special shoutout to the “Freedom Caucus” were more focused on setting aside the voters majority support of sick leave for Missouri workers and illegally redistricting the Congressional districts to provide Trump with his five House seats in anticipation of the midterm election to focus on this situation. Representative Emanuel Cleaver was not a part of this mess.
Kehoe and the Republican members of the legislature should be turned out of office for their actions regarding but not limited to the situations that have been listed.

==========

So when you are cutting or eliminating taxes, where is the revenue coming from on the taxes being cut?

Uh, no public good for those not in the 1%.

They have “concepts of a plan.” Sales tax will undoubtedly go up and there will be many cuts made to the state budget; most likely to our public schools.

===========

Maybe if the legislature funded a new stadium instead of reversing voter approved paid sick leave, they might have stayed. Oh, well 🫤

Wow. How uplifting Mark.

Sure he did

While you were too busy making sure that what the voters already decided was ignored and redistricting the state outside of the constitutionally required time, kansas was making moves. Well done. This is what happens when you pay more attention to DC than what’s going on here.

Congratulations to The Edwardsville Chiefs

While Missouri was focused on gerrymandering, Kansas was focused on the Chiefs and Royals and Missouri loses.

Congressman Mark Alford will tell you Republicans are going to grow in a post about how Republicans lost Missouri’s most prized sporting franchise.
Do you understand he’s providing you with the opposite of receipts?

Do NOT replace the state income tax with regressive taxes like sales taxes and property taxes. If this was the reason businesses came to the state California and New York would not have such large economies. Businesses locate where they have a skilled labor force and necessary infrastructure. Invest in education and infrastructure.

Don’t know why the Hunts couldn’t pull themselves up by their bootstrap and build their own stadium.

Billionaires don’t stay Billionaires by spending their own money

Mark, make sure no flyovers for them happen from Whiteman!!

B-2 bomber [2020 file photo]

Good I’m getting tired of funding a billionaires hobby

Missouri is the new Louisiana thanks to the GOP. Fighting to be last in everything

==========

What exactly did he do?

nothing

Jack and shit

===========

Giving out participation trophies 🏆 doesn’t fix our broken MO legislation Mark.
We need true visionary leadership. Time for a change in Missouri.

The governor just lost billions in revenue and lots of jobs. We have to start voting blue. Republicans can only think about the top .5% in Missouri.

Kehoe promised the Chiefs state income tax credits as an incentive for them to stay. Then he proposed abolishing state income tax. Great incentive for keeping the Chiefs in Missouri.
Congressman Alford, we pay attention. Your puny propaganda attempts won’t fool us.

TOOL!

We tried to suck up to billionaires by fucking over the lesser classes but it didn’t work this time.

He did nothing!

Hard to see where our legislators or governor did much of anything other than provide lip service to keep them here.

Please stop posting!

I’m surprised he didn’t blame it on Biden or the deepstate

Wouldn’t say it’s a setback. I’m tired of paying taxes for something that I can’t even afford to attend.

Not with Republicans in charge….

Next to shut down is bothwell hospital in Sedalia. Thanks

Why do we lobby for Corporate Welfare anyways?
A lot better ways to spend money than lining the pockets of The Hunts.
I think we shut down the NFL and shut down Agriculture. Then we allocate $ and appropriate legislation on which one after 30 days the citizens start wanting back first.
*hint in the history of the world no government has ever been over thrown because of an entertainment less society.

I genuinely don’t understand why we pay sports teams to do anything or pay to build them shit. They make plenty of money without taxpayer income. Make them do it their damn selves; then maybe they wouldn’t be extorting their home cities every time the lease renews. Sure, teams might move, but at least you didn’t have taxpayers giving them money for x number of years only for them to leave afterward with no regard to their fans.
I don’t care that the Chiefs are moving, by the way. Just sharing my opinion on subsidizing sports teams in general. It’s not our responsibility to pay for their business.

Are you kidding me?? What a joke.

Well we’re disappointed in everything you do!

He did nothing. Are u out of your mind????

Maybe elect a governor in Missouri who is a leader and visionary not a MAGA culture warrior

There’s that.

Listen Mark I am totally conservative but eliminating the state income tax is stupid

Congressman Mark Alford, maybe you all were too busy trying to gerrymander the state?

So what will replace the income tax. Well, if history is a guide, increase the regressive sales tax. Billionaires like regressive taxes.

Just remember who you voted for in Missouri. This is what you get

Weird spin on failure

Maybe spend less time bitching and pointing fingers and more time solving issues and these things could be avoided.

Everything republicans touch turns to shit.

Maybe if y’all didn’t spend so much time trying to gerrymander the maps and do the orange felon’s bidding, you would have seen this coming like the rest of us were screaming. This falls on all of your heads. And I hope Missourians don’t forget when y’all’s time is up.

Really? You’ve been out and about dividing and spreading propaganda and mugging for photos at the White House—while Governor Kelly was at work, proving she is much more accomplished and capable than any politician in the state of Missouri. Thanks again, for NOTHING. You give us nothing but propaganda day in and out. Go hang your head in shame.

Kehoe and the legislature are worthless. They’re more concerned with overturning the voters will and bankrupting the state.

Leave it to Republicans to fumble the simplest things.
You’re all failures. Absolute embarrassments and failures.

Our governor didn’t do crap. You’re just an another politician just like the rest of them.

Socialism for the rich! And you support it. Hypocrite.

This is entertainment…formerly NFL Football. Their GAME is not essential. And then to watch one of the “star” players pout like a child scolded or be the tough guy that roughs up the coach because he can’t control his delicate feelings. The new stadium ought to have a giant consolation trophy prominently mounted on it. The paking fees are exorbitant as are tickets. These are not doctors or scientists….they provide nothing but high-priced over-rated entertainment.

Congressman Mark Alford your idiot megalomaniac fiscal policies only benefit the wealthy.
Maybe we can drop enough population that your district is eliminated. 😂

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 11, 2025]
🎪 Democrats tried another desperate impeachment circus today. It collapsed on impact. The American people are tired of political games, & so am I.
House Republicans are laser-focused on securing the border, rebuilding our economy, and restoring American strength, not fueling the Left’s obsession with President Donald J. Trump!!
[….]

Some of the responses (out of over 2000):

The king leads the sheep

or perhaps…. the lemmings.

the Emperor will pardon the ones who he thinks will do something for him in return. That’s why King Donald I was so upset with the Democrat he pardoned who then said he was going to run again as a Democrat.

I’m equally confused about which immigrants stay and which are hunted down and arrested?

the white ones stay

They pardon the ones that can pay for it. $$$ For a surcharge, the drug lord’s families get to come to the U.S. as well.

Kinda like the Letitia James fiasco, no?

The circus must go on! 😂

I gotta tell you the number of times I have seen Republicans getting ratioed on their own posts because nearly everyone hates them is bringing me great amounts of joy

“we’re blindly obsequious” isn’t the own you seem to think it is.

Midterms are coming.

Midterms anyone ?

How are you feeling about health care and affordability?

he doesn’t care

Laser focused? I had an Irish Setter once that had a longer attention span.

Did you wake him up to tell him yet?

Oh, no, Mark is practicing to be a “digital creator” or “influencer.”

The word is unaffordablity. Such a beautiful word. So awesome and wonderful. We love unaffordabilty, We love things to cost a lot. Another beautiful word is unaccountability. We love to be unaccountable for unaffordability.

Well there is always the midterms

🤣🤣what is your economic and healthcare plan? I’ll wait

Amen so am I. Indiana republicans respected their constituents today! And the grand jury did the right thing. Midterms are coming.

Midterms are coming!!!!!

Midterms, midterms, midterms…..

And how about your concepts of a plan on healthcare?

Tired of political games? Interesting.

Ironic.

Do you blame the dog whenever you fart? Nobody believes that either.

Circus? The only circus in town is maga

Ah yes the stable genius, most honest man in history stands tall again

Keep saying that to yourself.

Great job Mark. How’s the free lunch and free healthcare?

Doing a great job on the economy. Just ask your constituents. 🤮

the problem for people like Alford is that he’ll never get many Democrats’ votes, he’s too far gone for that, so he does what Kevin Yoder did when he realized that Sharice Davids–a Native American, lesbian, mixed martial arts fighter!–was likely to beat him in Kansas, he (Yoder) leaned harder into the MAGA constituency hoping there were enough of them motivated to come out and vote. He lost.

How are you rebuilding the economy if it is stronger than ever?

Laser focused on making these posts. Lol

See you in 2026 🌊

Midterms

I don’t think republicans are focused on those aspects either. Kinda hard to tell with your heads up Trumps backside.

And the law be damned, right? 🙄

Midterms, Mark.

Midterms are just around the corner

Yep midterms are coming

What is your plan to lower the cost of healthcare?

Where’s your health plan?

Shill.

Congressman Mark Alford 🖕

You were laser focus sitting at home for eight weeks when the government was shut down?

This clown said that he’s “sick of political games.” 😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂
Stop, bro, my side hurts! 😆 🤣 😂

Well you got one thing right: we are tired of the political games.

Where’s the health plan Mark?

What planet do you live on?

Have you been to the grocery store $$$$

A Republican says political games. Hilarious

Figured you liked games… it’s all you play.

What you mean to say is that you are “tired of political games” unless they serve your interest.

“Rebuilding our economy” destroying it first then “somewhat picking it back up” is like gambling with $100, loosing $100, buying back in with $300, loosing $300, buing back in with $500, loosing $500, buying back in with a $1000 and loosing $950. That’s not “fixing the economy”

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 8, 2025]

Securing America isn’t optional — it’s our duty.
[….]
BIG TENT IDEAS

REP. MARK ALFORD: Time To Counter Escalating Radical Islam Menace In America

‘After an era of open borders and the left’s continued efforts to stifle reasonable debate about the effects of third world immigration, America grapples with the corrosive advance of radical Islam.’

CONGRESSMAN
MARK ALFORD

Bigot.

Every right wingnut accusation is a confession.

Some of the responses:

Mark, you are falling deeper into the trap of the national christian movement.

He’s always been there.

I thought big tents had room for all kinds? Which one of us is confused? 🤔

We have a big tent for those that want to assimilate to American culture. Goat humpers need not apply.

They’re so open about it these days.

Just curious, what border do we share with an Islamic country?

trump invites them to the white house and they give him expensive gifts, money or business deals that benefit the orange man or the organization

Christians accept secularism. Islam does not.

Oh my.

==========

So how are we vetting Qatari airmen coming here to train?

By the amount they can afford to pay Trump.

==========

Look out everyone it’s the boogeyman!

Let’s talk about the Christian nationalist version of Sharia law

Actually, this islamaphobic rant and fear mongering IS A TOOL of Xian Nationalism. (Not calling them “Christian” because Jesus would say “I never knew you.”)

Been thinking the samething for awhile. Christian National are ok with religious control as long as they are their laws.

==========

Where in your district do you perceive this threat?

in the far reaches of what used to be Mark’s brain.

==========

Instead of uniting, this guy is taking our money just to divide us. Unity is our strength!! Make America UNITE again

What about the radical fascism in America right now?

I think the actual problem is the corrosive advance of radical christian nationalism.

Time to counter xenophobia in America.

We getting after that radical Christian movement too? Lol

First they came for….

“…Not this time…”

So anyone thats not far right wing and white is fair game

We are not scared. We see you.

Yeah? Where?

Accepting others is an American value. You guys talked the same way about my Irish ancestors when they came over.

Xenophobic much?

First deal with the ongoing violent threat from radical-right Christian nationalists.

I suppose Christian Extremism is better somehow.

The Daily Caller? That’s like referencing the National Enquirer!

An insult directed at the National Enquirer.

Do you happen to have crime stats for folks who say they’re Christians?

By “securing” don’t you really mean “only white people” in America?

The Daily Caller???? LOL!!!!

Another divisive message from a radical politician.

Mark look at the comments.
Think deeply about your dignity and integrity.
These things you’re allowing will be held against you.

Missouri’s 4th district drama queen has spoken

Why don’t we deal with all religious fundamentalists. For starters let’s tax all the churches!

Ohhhh a religious war. Those are always successful

And when the fk have Republicans ever wanted “reasonable debate”?

There’s that.

Far more worried about the rise of white Christian nationalism and fascism, which has taken hold in the highest echelons of government.

Can we do something about the radical Christians trying to take over our country?

The radical “Christians” are a bigger problem. Do something about them.

I’m more concerned about radical christianity. They’re the ones running roughshod over our civil liberties in this country.

Do you ever listen to or learn anything outside the MAGA echo chamber?

Make America Hate Again!

More fear propaganda.

Isn’t there enough hate here?

Too much.

The Daily Caller? You want us to take this post seriously?
Hilarious!

Rep Mark Alford – please give one example of this “menace” here in district 4. We’ll wait.

The only religious threat this country faces, comes from Christianity.

Every fascist needs a scapegoat.

Radical White Supremacy? Radical Brown Shirt “policing”? Radical Klan cults? These are imminent threats. What are you doing about mitigating these threats?

If a government built around religious fanaticism is wrong (and it is), why are you all embracing Christian Nationalism?

The Constitution guarantees the right of freedom of religion. Your racism won’t change that.

Want to know what happens to you when you side with evil against God? Watch all of the people who turned away from God and towards trump. Watch what now becomes of their lives. It has begun, it’s in motion. Some of you can feel it in your soul. These are judgement times. Right now would be a good time to reflect on where you stand in this life.
Embracing trump = Turning away from God.

So the economic numbers coming out this week must be pretty bad if the GOP has to make Muslims the “boogeymen”.
Anything to distract us from the corruption and coverup of Trump’s mental status.

Congressman Mark Alford
Stop the hateful rhetoric!
STOP IT!

Maybe Congressman Alford could tell us what a “Third World Country” is. Talk about going back in time. Republicans like you are corroding our government and lying everyday. Trump is the one inviting them into the White House. What a bunch of hypocrites. You better worry about the Christian Nationalists first. They are in the room with you.

lol… we are grappling with religion being the government… thanks to you right wing, fake christian fucking assholes. That, you douche bag, is the problem we have. Personally, I have NEVER had an issue with any reasonable person because of their faith, color or creed… that’s because I am NOT an asshole

You’re scared of a girl.
[….]

They don’t belong in our country and they sure shouldn’t be holding office. It’s time to reenact the law which was overturned in the 90s that they cannot hold political office.

Time to show your racist self

Radical Maga is a far bigger danger to the USA than Islam is. I wonder who Maga will be telling its cult members to hate next month?

And you are a hateful delusional bigot !!!

The vast majority of comments on here are unbelievable. People who want to sit on their butts and wave their precious signs ( In this house we believe…, Immigrants welcome here, etc) feeling self-righteous and pleased with themselves. Has your house been broken into? Yet? Has your daughter been raped yet? Has your 8 year old been hit by a guy in a car or truck who can’t read street signs in English? Yet? It has happened to Americans and could happen to you! Has your tax money been scammed by foreigners yet? Probably yes. Has your state’s Medicare/ Medicaid money been used by immigrants who were given EVERYTHING when they were invited into our country by the OBiden administration? Probably Yes. Why aren’t you outraged and angry as @&$%# ? Instead you nit pick on Christians and Conservatives because they happen to want to preserve our country and our culture. It’s terribly sick and sad that you just don’t care about your future, your children’s future or your country’s future. People who hate us and don’t appreciate our country and culture AND don’t wish to assimilate can go home and the faster the better.

This is why we can’t have nice things…

Radical Right Wing Christians meanwhile…can serve up Racism at will

You should worry more about nazis that have taken over the Republican party

Good lord, you’re stupid.

Fake weather boy Allfraud. There is nothing that is notable about you. There’s nothing that is significant. There’s nothing that makes you stand out. Everything that you say or do is from a script that you read. Has been tried before, and it resulted in the event rebuttal from those who believe in the rights and freedoms of others. Whether it be the illegal internment of Japanese Americans, the cruel enslavement of African-Americans, the indentured servitude of Chinese Americans, or the cruelty being displayed now. Our nation has always had tyrants and those willing to go along with them. So, fake weather boy, all fraud your time will too eventually end

You should be ashamed mark! You arn’t following Gods work! You are everything God teaches us to fight against!! Hate for our neighbor!!

Oops, your racism is showing.

All of you MAGAts seem to thrive on fear, anger, and hatred. Ya’ll might want to get some counseling.

asshat

Muslims make up only 1% of the US population. If that scares you you’re pretty fragile to begin with.

Let’s start in securing America from bigots like you

Reads like Nazi propaganda

What happened to you? Were you always this angry little man? I remember when you started in Kansas City as an anchor. You had this goofy sense of humor. But under that fake tan you had this simmering racism and resentment for women and people around you? How did you develop such a love for misinformation? You were a journalist of sorts. More of a goofball talking head, but still. It’s really shocking to see this ugliness. Sad, really.

It’s so sad how racists this country is becoming!

So this idiot doesn’t believe in the Constitution? Freedom of religion asshole.

Alford is just another trump tool, kissing the ring and hoping/begging for his recognition. Pathetic.

Alford is just an idiot spewing propaganda.

Hitler said that about the Jews

We noticed that.

Sweet baby jeebus you are an idiot, and an embarrassment to our nation.

And you just proved you are a bigot. Smart.

You either are stupid or you think your constituents are

It’s both.

You guys are literally fascists and I am supposed to be scared of my neighbors because they dress differently and have a different religion?

You are such a fucking idiot.

It’s fascinating how Marky can’t find his voice or guts to speak out when Trump is hosting a radical who had an American journalist cut into pieces while he was still alive. Trump kissed MBS’ butt and yelled at an American woman for daring to mention the murder, all while accepting billions of dollars in crypto scams from people who helped Hamas, giving nations with ties to terrorism access to advanced AI chips, and making deals for his crappy resorts in the Middle East. I can’t imagine how Mark sleeps at night, pushing this crap of pointing fingers about enabling religious radicalism while turning a blind eye to what the administration is doing to weaken our security on behalf of nations to whom he is beholden, not to mention enabling the unChristianity and danger of the Christian nationalist movement within our own nation and our own government. It’d be a heck of a thing to still have more than a handful of GOP politicians willing to speak truth to power. Enjoy whatever financial gains you’ve made off of selling out your constituents. You’re earning your place in history as a cowardly enabler of the first order. It’d be funny if it weren’t such an utter dereliction of duty. You’ve managed to make MTG look like a moral and intellectual giant, by comparison. 🙄

So is remembering your oath…but seem to have shit all over that. Stop gaslighting you ass h a t.

What a load of racist BS. Where is your concern about radicalized MAGA?

MAGATS, always jousting at windmills. Someone explain this literary reference to them, since they don’t read.

The most radical religious group in America is the Christian Nationalist Movement. People like yourself.

Didn’t you just post something about stopping religious discrimination? I guess you only mean certain religions huh? You got any examples of the “corrosive advance of radical Islam?” I bet I got plenty more more of examples of the corrosive advance of white nationalism!

Funny, but the main terrorists I see these days are armed, wearing masks, assaulting citizens while claiming theyre sent by Noem the dogkiller.

Quit promoting Islamophobia. It’s not any better than antisemitism.

You are painting all followers of the Islamic faith with one brush. You imply that all are terrorists and that Islam is radical.
That’s like saying all Christians are radical Christian Nationalists instead of Christians who actually follow Christ.
Because only a radical Christian Nationalist would put up a post like this one.

Are the radical Muslims in the room with you right now? Are they feeding you Baklava?

Congressman Mark Alford You are beyond being a FU***ng Moron.
You would know this if you had “true” Town Hall meetings, instead of pandering to your rich supporters…

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 3, 2025]

We’re cleaning up the mess Democrats made with Obamacare. It’s time to put YOU back in control of your healthcare — not the insurance companies. [….]

They ain’t buying it – in the responses:

Headed for another shut down.
Pass a budget. Talk and negotiate.
Health Care / health insurance has to be covered.
Reimpose taxes on the 1%.
Cut funding for forever wars. Stop arresting gardners and dishwashers

Uh, no. Insurance companies will still be in control.

So what is the plan for Americans to have medical coverage starting Jan. 1st?

they have none. That’s the problem. All they thought about was destroying everything and not about how to rebuild it. See how well we are winning and making merica great again

there is none he’s just running his mouth

Wrong, ACA was because the free market had gone to Shit. Plus every time a bill to improve the ACA the republicans voted it down. All 70 times.

The plan? Or even a “concept”? Would LOVE to hear it!

As a small business owner I’ve been in charge of my own healthcare before and after the ACA. Please tell me how it was better before. After ACA at least I could get insurance even with pre-existing conditions.

Can I get a plan with coverage and cost equal to yours?

Congressman Mark Alford can we see the GOP replacement plan for Obamacare?
Because it has measurably improved major aspects of the U.S. health-care system. Far more Americans now have insurance, access to care is significantly improved, and many low and moderate income families are financially better off thanks to reduced medical cost burdens. In Medicare expansion states, some health outcomes, including mortality, have improved.
Republicans have had 15 years to improve upon this. What do you have to show us?

they’ve got absolutely NOTHING.

News flash: there isn’t one.

they have 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 of a an excuse

Mark, I could get behind a change if Congress would just let everyone move to traditional Medicare.

“Medicare for All”

Medicare for All!

OR, we could just have universal health care like the rest of the 1st World nations upon this planet.

Where is your plan??

Easy to criticize, tougher to come up with a solution. What is your solution (besides blaming someone else)?

I want universal healthcare like they have in other countries.

it is clear they have no idea what actual work looks like. They think posting a meme or doing an interview full of half-truths or outright lies is working. Guess they didn’t learn what a hard day’s work actually entails or they are incompetent at their jobs. They have decided to shirk responsibilities in place of blame. They offer zero substance on matters that are most important to the people of this country. Furthermore, they care not if they are working for us, they are more concerned about loyalty to one person than behaving in a way that is reflective of the job they were hired to do.

Democrats didn’t make a mess with the ACA. Its flaws are almost entirely attributable to compromises with Republicans and their insurance company donors made in order to get it passed.

I don’t think you have a clue as to how for-profit insurance works.
We need universal healthcare like other civilized countries have. Even Republican studies prove it is more cost-effective and saves more lives.
An insurance ‘death panel’ caused the death of my little sister at age 45. It should never have happened. This is the real experience many American families have, no matter what they pay for insurance.
Without the ACA (better than anything you have initiated), many small businesses would never have been started.

As a small business owner and father of three, Obamacare was a godsend since its inception. I’m scared to death to see how the Republicans are going to “clean up the mess” if they can’t even acknowledge how much Obamacare helps tens of millions of people who don’t work for large employers that can get group rates and help pay for their employees’ health insurance! They keep talking about “putting consumers in charge”, but say NOTHING about lowering overall cost. I already get to pick my providers and pick my insurance plan, it’s the cost that is the issue.

Without insurance reforms…your “plan ” is smoke and mirrors

Putting us in charge instead of insurance companies…so you mean Medicare for all? Guaranteed healthcare for all Americans so people can stop choosing between life saving medications and paying bills? Putting an end to medical debt?
…that’s what you mean, right?

Wait a minute here. The tax cuts for the richest were also scheduled to expire this year, but, the heavens be damned, the Republicons rushed to put through their extension, but somehow tax breaks for working Americans are not of the same concern for Republicons.

Have you learned to distinguish between different brands of boot polish by the taste yet?

I keep hearing the words “mess”, “disaster”, “unaffordable” yet when pressed for examples or alternatives, I hear *crickets*

What is the plan????? Oh. You don’t have one

You realize, in order to put “us, not the health insurance companies” I charge of our healthcare, we would basically have to abolish health insurance/companies. I’m not against that, but I have a feeling you and your donors would think twice on that.

So what’s your plan Mark? Right. You don’t have one.

We can’t claim to be the richest greatest nation on earth and not have our people’s basic human right of healthcare met. Developed nation’s without universal healthcare well there is only 1 and that’s us. I don’t think that’s great at all

Wait. It’s almost 2026 and NOW you’re looking at ways to bring the cost down for Healthcare?

Been hearing that since Dear Leader was campaigning for his first term. He promised a better and more beautiful healthcare plan and we are still waiting…

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

Can I have your healthcare plan? You haven’t present anything to us….

You have no plan to replace it. You just want to destroy what already exists.

Is this just your daily required “loyalty to the administration” post? You never have anything but finger pointing and half baked “concepts”.

Remember the good old days when insurance companies could reject you for a preexisting condition. Or cancel your policy if you got sick. Bury in the fine print a maximum coverage amount so if you got sick and needed the insurance it was not there. Or sell a policy that actually did not cover you when you got sick. Kick your teenage children off your policy. Or not cover preventative care to help you from getting sick.
It was so great.
But they an “idea” of a plan.

Without the ACA, insurance companies could deny insurance coverage for people with preexisting conditions. That was a big impetus for the ACA adoption. How will your plan of abandoning people to their own devices of obtaining insurance, even with the subsidies for those with more limited finances, assure those with cancer, diabetes,etc that they will be sold a plan? It did not happen before the ACA, so will Trump’s distain for all things Obama, throw these people back under the bus?

I’m sure you’ll have a healthcare plan right after infrastructure week.

And on and on…

High on his own supply

4th Congressional District, former newsreader, gaslighting, Mark Alford, missouri, Propaganda, right wingnut, sycophant, that ridiculous hat, Trump sycophant

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 23, 2025]
Americans are sick of being gaslit.
Home prices are out of control right now…but we have full confidence that the One Big Beautiful Bill will deliver real relief, & House Republicans will continue to work with POTUS to get America booming again.
[….]

What did he expect?:

Y’all are spewing enough ‘gas’ to heat the entire state this winter…

The BBB will cause v rural hospitals to close.

Yup. Prices on those homes in healthcare desserts will come down when the occupants die on the way to a big city hospital.

==========

The Big Beautiful Bill does nothing for home prices. Stopping investment companies from snapping up homes will.

Mark Alford
[….] how do you do that?

what does your favorite piece of legislation have that will increase housing affordability? Besides giving tax breaks to the wealthy, shafting people with higher insurance costs, and your President’s great idea is a fifty year mortgage. Student loans are preventing families from buying homes. The median age of the first time buyer is forty.

…you pass legislation that regulates it like you do any other industry with regulations?

regulations. Spain just did it to rein in the US hedge fund companies buying up all their residential property.

The naughty word Republicans hate. Regulations!

just ask JD. He’s very much into the “farm markets “. Do a lil research , he’ll show you how to get rich off the backs of laborers.

==========

all those, “we buy ugly houses” ads lol

the poor farmers are getting trashed by this administration. To make matters worse JD Vance is involved in buying up farms that have lost almost everything due to this administrations stupid policies.

its probably so he CAN benefit from buy all thoes farms then sell them back at a profit

Concepts of a plan

Percentage of a concept of a plan.

very vague concept. Almost a plan to have a concept of a plan.

a concept of an outline of a plan!!! 12 years in the making!!!

right. The bill was already passed. But we have to wait like trickle down economics. Wait for nothing to trickle down from billionaires with huge tax breaks… oh. And less jobs. Worst economic policy since Reagan.

Remind us which party is in charge of the government please?

*looks at notes* is that why both times hes been elected the first and fastest deal to pass was tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and then the extensions for it? Amazing how the 1% and mega corps get socialism while the rest of us live in capitalism. 👏

I thought Trump was gonna fix this all on day 1, Mark

Thought he was doing that day one??

Quiet, quiet Piggy

We all know when we’re being conned!! I doubt you even understand what affordability even means, just using it as a catch phrase for those of us who understand it very well because we live it every day!

Here’s an idea, just hear me out. Instead of working for the president, you start working for your constituents? Crazy, I know, but imagine the possibilities!

So you saying thoughts and prayers I guess?

“God has a plan!” SMH

Damn you and FOX are still sleeping together?!

Looking to tackle? Where’ve they been?

Yes, we’re absolutely tired of the GOP’s gaslighting.

Ahhh more ideas about the concepts of a potential plan. It’s not just housing man, and all of us middle classers know this. Healthcare, automobiles, housing…you know, all the actual really important stuff.

No it will not
Healthcare has been a problem so long that there is nothing you can do to change the fact that the big beautiful bill is going to take away from Medicare and assistance for people and these things actually have impacts on normal insurance and our insurance is going to be insane because of this.

If we want affordable houses we need to stop letting companies buy them. It’s really that simple.

But he keeps saying it is already booming. Best economy ever, highest stock market, huge profits from tariffs, best job growth, no inflation blah, blah, blah….

So you’re telling me I want my homes value to go down? Make it make sense.

Oh?? Wait, I thought prices were lower than ever?? Isn’t that what Trump assured us?? I’m am confused!! So now the gaslighting by Trump is reversing course??

lol there ya go everyone just have the same confidence as this man and your grocery bills will be fine

Yeah, a 50 year mortgage ought to fix that.

In a 50 year mortgage you can pay interest 10 times the value of the house you bought

Thus speaks, Alford, GURU of GASLIGHTING!!!!💥

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

I’m sure the billionaires are celebrating the Big Billionaire Bill😡

Right & u are the tooth fairy!!

Gonna payoff for who?

Lowering interest rates will increase home prices even more. Most people owning homes are not going to be happy if their homes are suddenly worth less.

Well the tariffs are causing building supply costs to rise…

Sounds like gaslighting.

Speaking of gaslighting ..

If you are a billionaire, you get relief.

Holy shit. Imagine thinking giving giant tax breaks to millionaires and cutting education funding will make things more affordable.
Well. You know the dummies in the cult think that.

Does the Trump administration have a “concept “

==========

After your 45 day paid vacation, it would be great if you got back to work again. Please don’t focus on gold medals, focus on rising costs, decreasing health coverage, poor air transportation, failing businesses, and I don’t know maybe setting up a tax code that requires the wealthy to pay taxes.

pretty much all things that the Big Beautiful Bill he is praising works against.

==========

Address gaslighting by gaslighting

The only plan this administration has is to make themselves even more wealthy than they are already.

Says the guy holding the match!

Good for you. So happy you are confident the outcome you say will come about, but what happens if it doesn’t? What skin in the game do you have to lose if everything goes south? Nothing really, you will not feel the effects that most other folks I lower economic situations will face.

Republicans are experts at gaslighting. Lies are the language they speak

lol. Before Mamdani you guys could not spell “ affordability”.

Funny that.

Sure 50 year mortgage solves everything

Starts off by saying Americans are tired of being gaslit…. proceeds to gaslight

Read the room, Mark Alford.

Who could have predicted that tariffs, essentially a national sales tax, would land most heavily on folks who are already at the edge on affordability? Asking for anyone who spent 20 minutes in a macro-economics class.

Having any town halls by chance? 🥴

We’re 10 months into The Felon’s reign and NOW you want to talk about affordability? Whatsamatta, last election shake yous guys up a bit? Giving folks’ tax dollars away to Argentina, tax breaks for millionaires, tariffs, gutting Healthcare, “modifying” a plane from Qatar, golf trips, say when… These are NOT conducive to “Affordability”. I thought The Felon said he didn’t want to hear that word again.

Sure, if only we could believe you. Stop giving tax breaks to the wealthy.
Make healthcare affordable

Relief by higher taxes and reduced services.

No one is concerned with the economy “cooking for the midterms”, they are worried about paying their utility bills and buying groceries. This statement is not what people want to hear from an elected official. They deserve resolution and resources, a solid plan and action behind it. Telling people they are mentally ill for voicing their financial hardships is morally wrong.

Well…if you studied economics and history you would see trickle down economics doesn’t work for the middle class and below.

First, he gives away billions to the rich, supports the big ugly bill that is damaging to the middle and lower class, and now he poses as a savior of prices. These guys think we’re all stupid. No Marc we’ve got you and we know who you serve. It isn’t the middle class or the poor.

Gaslighting? You should look it up. You congressman voted to cut snap Medicare and Medicaid. You are part of the affordability problem

Do they ever just shut up and actually do something. All republicans do is talk and go on vacation.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

And so Congressman, your solution is more gaslighting. No thanks. We need actions, not more bluster.

You mean the bill that made it more difficult to get funding for certain professions?
The bill that gives the largest tax cuts to the already wealthy?
The bill that claims to be no tax on tips or overtime but comes with hefty stipulations?
Maybe it’s the bill that cuts multiple millions on Medicaid over the next 10 years.
That bill?
You were saying about gaslighting?

You live in Missouri, in. November. Why the tan???

I wish I could make a career of just saying random ridiculous shit and not have anyone question it.

The Big Beautiful Bill? Really? Did you actually even read it before eagerly voting for it? It cute SNAP and Healthcare, making life worse for your constituents. It eliminates school lunches for 420,000 students. And it adds $3.4 trillion to the debt. For what? Tax breaks for millionaires. You think this will help your constituents?

Are you joking right now???? We ALL know this bill will screw everyone but the billionaires!!

On and on…

Well that didn’t go so well

4th Congressional District, affordability, former newsreader, health care, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, rural hospitals, social media, sycophant, Trump sycophant

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 20, 2025]

Today is National Rural Health Day is a reminder of what’s at stake. I’ve been in nearly every rural hospital across the Fourth District, talking with the people who are doing everything they can to keep health care close to home.
When the government shut down, we didn’t. We kept visiting hospitals because rural Missouri can’t afford political games. Democrats wanted to put the $50B Rural Health Transformation Program on the chopping block.
We actively fought to stop that and keep our rural hospitals open—for the families who depend on them!
[….]

Some of the responses:

Who is going to tell him?

it doesn’t matter what you tell him. He’s going to lick the boots and pander to the MAGA crowd. It’s all he’s capable of.
Well, that and being a bully.

You voted to kill our hospitals when you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill.

Hey Mark Afraid, A Fox News Poll shows 76% of voters say the economy is in bad shape. Remember saying we are in America’s golden era? Maybe a golden shower era or the gaudy golden oval office era???

If you’re so committed to rural healthcare, then why did you vote to gut Medicare and Medicaid? The BBB will actually hurt rural providers. But you knew that already, didn’t you Mark?

He voted that way because his orange master told him to. He doesn’t have the ability for independent thought just like the rest of the rePubes.

St. Mary’s, Blue Springs. Lee’s Summit Medical. Rural hospitals??!! 😂🤣
How’d you vote, Mark ??!!

Do you ever read the comments? Just asking.

Rural Missourians don’t need another photo-op hospital tour.
They need leaders who will actually fix the root problems not just blame Democrats while voting against the very policies that would save rural care.

Why cut Medicare?

That’s why you voted to cut $137B from rural health, right Mark?

Wait, we care about health these days? That’s funny!! 🤣

That’s it. The day is over.

Research suggests that Congress members who get fat healthcare donations are about as likely to support tough price controls as a cat is likely to take a bath voluntarily.
The U.S. healthcare industry isn’t just in the business of healing-it’s basically a political superhero with a cape made of lobbyist checks and PAC contributions.
Thanks to this superpower, bold reforms like negotiating drug prices or expanding Medicare-for-all often hit a wall thicker than a hospital bill, even when most Americans are cheering from the sidelines.

Toadie that forgot that he voted to gut the funding for rural healthcare services

He didn’t forget.

As a rural healthcare provider in your district. I have no words for how ridiculous you are. You do everything in your power to remove the ability of people to pay for healthcare putting my job at risk and other people‘s lives at risk. I cannot wait to vote you out.

Hey Mark! Your pants are on fire again.

If the president is calling for the execution of lawmakers he should be removed from office immediately

When you voted for the BBB you told us how invested you are in rural health.
You voted to gut funding.
Your rural constituents are aware you are not working in our best interests.

So you’re celebrating by closing rural hospitals? 🤦🖕

Say goodbye, rural folks.

Your voting record says otherwise

Only rural millionaire health

Because you visiting hospitals after voting to cut their funding by millions of dollars does nothing but photo ops.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].

And here you voted to disembowel the programs that aid in rural medical facilities…you’ll make more sense if you only talk out one side of your face, scumbag.

As a 40 year rep in rural healthcare, you are the worse one to be posting about how you are helping!
I hope you are voted out, along with the top down mess we have!
Please resign now and save yourself a huge embarrassment in the thrashing you see coming.

hush, little bootlicker

Idiot.

We’re laughing at you Alford

The money you are “giving” is much less than what you took away to put in the pockets of the 1%. Its despicable of you to keep touting this. Is this an example of the GOP healthcare plan you are working so hard on?

Quiet piggy

Ouch.

Right now, you and the rest of the Republicans are waaaay on the wrong side of history.

Congressman you voted against Rural Healthcare. Don’t be a hypocrite. We are smarter than you think.
By the way why did you give Argentina $40 BILLION? That’s not America First.

Hey Congressman Mark Alford you want to turn the temperature down. Tell that orange motherfucker in the White House to stop making death threats. If you want to make this normal, what happens when a Democrat majority is elected. You best put a check on that asshole

Except you voted for a bill that causes rural hospitals to close. You’re a joke

We know this is a fucking lie Congressman Mark Alford. When the government shut down, you went home on vacation for 6 weeks. You toured manufacturing facilities for photo ops. You didn’t go to hospitals in the 4th district. If you had you would have made sure to make photo ops of the visits. You never pass up an opportunity for a photo opportunity. Yet, we never saw any pictures of you at hospitals. We are not as dumb as your midget ass looks.

Same bullshit, different day from Markey McHypocrite.

You still have a leftover tan from your seven week vacation!!!! You didn’t work!
AND, WHAT ABOUT OUR HEALTHCARE TAX CREDITS???
ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!

LIAR

Trump has illegally murdered over 80 people from South American countries. Trump doesn’t give one rat’s ass about anyone living in a rural area.

Pull your head out of trumps ass

Did the orange pedo tell you to post this? Asking for a friend.

You voted for Medicaid cuts. Spare me your fake concern.

Is that why you voted for the healthcare cuts in your BBB this past summer, before your extended vacation? Quit with the lying Republican propaganda…no one is buying it.

Don’t you ever get tired of lying? What kind of person are you? Not the kind I want to represent me. I sure hope that the gerrymandering petition and upcoming election keeps me in the 5th district and not in yours!

We got notice that Healthcare for One adult went from $790.00 per month to 1750.00 per month. No changes in health, no changes in deductible. Increases for in network office visits and higher deductible for prescriptions. Thanks little scamper alford. You voted for this in your “big beautiful bill.”
That doesn’t include changes in Medicare and supplements, for another adult in our home, haven’t got that part finalized yet.
Can’t wait for the rest of your Constituents to get their final adjustments on Healthcare. You may need to swap your lift boots out for some running shoes.

Trump is making death threats against Democrats who have told the military not to follow orders that go against the constitution.
And you and your MAGA friends once again stay silent

Liar liar. The bBB cut Medicaid /Medicare funding

You are so embarrassing

Too bad you voted to get rid of rural healthcare centers. Asshole.

No one is falling for your shit.

Alford’s daily lies are easily disputed. The Medicaid cuts he and the Felon’s other MAGA Morons voted for have put these Missouri hospitals at risk for closing:
Bothwell Regional Health Center in Sedalia;
Scotland County Memorial Hospital in Memphis;
Parkland Health Center in Bonne Terre;
Lafayette Regional Health Center in Lexington.

Trump calls for democratic lawmakers to be punished by DEATH this morning. What are the consequences for this extremely dangerous talk? What if his comments were directed at you?

Republicans are worse than Spam calls. Always trying to CON the citizens with bull 💩

They’re not buying it.

They seem upset.

To your health

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 19 2025]
·
Productive meeting today with Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare CEO Craig Thompson.
We talked Medicare, their HRSA grant for developing our own physicians, Missouri residency retention, RHTP funds, and closing the loophole hurting Sole Community Hospitals.
Proud to support the providers who keep our rural communities healthy!
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

How did the part of the discussion go when you admitted to the unimaginably inhumane loophole that your MAGA party created by stopping funding to Emergency room patients without proof of nationality on your One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), but left in place the compassionate conservative linchpin legislation called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) wich REQUIRES them to still take care of them anyway? Did you put together a betting pool on how many months they will have before everyone in Clinton has to go to the city for all their Dr. appointments? Did you pick 11 months?

=====

Congressman Mark Alford The Problem With Our Healthcare Is “GREEDY For Profit Healthcare Insurance Companies/Executives” ! ! ! They Should Have To Compete With a Public Option Like “Medicare for All” as a Option ! ! ! That Would Make Healthcare Insurance More Affordable ! ! ! Or You Could Extend The ACA Tax Credits for One Year , And Find a Healthcare Solution In The Next 6 Months . . ? 🤔

he knows, he’s working for them, not you.

=====

So … what actually … have you done to support this facility. Right, nothing.

417,000 Missouri residents are losing their ACA Subsidies. Can they pay the higher premiums?? Will this hospital be open in 3 years. There is also a shortage of healthcare workers and since Trump raised H1B work visa’s to $100K most small hospitals can’t hire foreign health workers !! Face it Republicans are on a vendetta to destroy our healthcare system !

You had since January 2023 to do something about Medicare, why now? You only been in office 35 months and now you are discussing Medicare.. let’s not forget your 53 days off from work on a paid vacation while people in your district are losing farms. So technically you have been in office for 33.5 months..

Idiot.

Go back to Texas if you want your back patted

“OUR OWN PHYSICIANS”? In 8 years, minimum.
AND children going hungry and sick…NOW.

By voting for the big beautiful bill?

Congressman Mark Alford You passed the Big Beautiful (BS) Bill that cut $1.3 TRILLION from Medicaid, when that same GVMH CEO said publicly that 4 OUT OF 5 PATIENTS in that hospital are MEDICAID recipients. Guess what that means? MEDICAID FUNDS THIS HOSPITAL. Read that again: MEDICAID KEEPS THIS HOSPITAL OPERATING.
Explain how the cuts YOU made to Medicaid support this hospital?? You can’t explain it, because your “support” is nothing but another Alford lie. You’ve passed a law that will damage this hospital severely, if it doesn’t shut it down!
How many of those 51,000 people you’ve condemned to death every year going forward, that would NOT DIE except they will now due to your law, the BBB, how many of those people will now die at GVMH?
You’re ignorant beyond belief. Your lack of education is a blinking neon sign in the dark. You are a shining example of why every single candidate for Congress should be required to pass numerous written exams before being allowed on the ballot, Economics being one of those subjects.
You’re unfit to serve. You never were and never will be fit to hold office. The 4th District deserves better. You are a pathological liar. #RESIGN #TRAITOR #UNFITtoServe

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Working hard to close more rural hospitals?

This is appalling. What say you about this, Little Marky? Do you approve of your Dear Leader entertaining murderous dictator terrorists in our White House while making billion dollar deals for himself?

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

You’re gonna let our ACA tax credits expire, aren’t you, you little maggot?
