If you’re not safe, then you’re not free.
That means securing our southern border and cleaning up our streets. 12:41 PM · Mar 26, 2023
Some of the responses:
How can I feel safe when the NRA writes our gun laws? Children are allowed open carry. Educators and librarians are threatened by hired thugs who hide behind parental rights. Nothing or no one is safe when republicans are in control.
What’s your plan to secure the border? Will you vote for increased funding?
Also, you need to secure money to updgrade Missouri Highway 7 from 24 Highway to Harrisonville. Let’s see if you can get some Federal funding to clean up 7 Highway!
At least some politics is local.
When will you care about keeping children safe from mass shootings in our schools ?
Donald J Trump stated Mitch McConnell is the greatest threat to National Security in America. Donald J Trump is never wrong.
When will the GOP, Fox News, Newsmax and OANN demand Mitch McConnell resign due to being the greatest threat to National Security in America?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Alvin Bragg would dig up old parking tickets if it means Trump can’t run for President again.

Some of the responses:
Imaging carry water for a lifelong grifting con man. You should be embarrassed.
The latter would require a modicum of self-awareness.
Technically there’s nothing stopping Trump from running for president from prison, so you’ve got that going for you!
But would he dig up old porn star payoff reimbursement checks, that’s the question.
[….]
Bless your heart 😂
Can’t wait for your hot take when Trump gets indicted for election interference in Georgia. Is that a parking ticket too?
Americans want people in congress who don’t beg for pardons!
[….]
There is a difference between what we want and what we Gaetz.
Why would the party of rule of law and checks and balances want this man to run/be president? The hypocrisy and corruption run deep! Justice is coming:) which should be what you want.. only it’s not locking her up…
So what’s your point?
Mark wouldn’t know that.
Trump parked something else –
Heh. We see what you did there.
Trump probably doesn’t even know how to drive.
My guess is that he has had a driver his entire life just like he does now.
All while you guys complain about the “elites”.
So, what’s the problem?
What kind of lawmaker doesn’t care about breaking the law? A Republican.
Asked. And answered.
Does Trump drive? Bet not
He shoulda paid the parking tickets and not Stormy Daniels
Well that didn’t take long. You went from news anchor to tRump’s colon cleaner in record time. Not surprising though…
Trump can run for President from prison if he wants to. Stop talking out of your hat.
If he broke the law, he must be held accountable like the rest of us.
Anyone saying otherwise is anti American.
Has he tried not committing any crimes?
A crook is a crook.
Hmm, parking tickets or insurrection? I guess six of one, half dozen of the other
Shame on you. You know damn well that Bragg is in the right. You don’t get to use your campaign money to pay off porn stars. And if you do, then you don’t try to claim the same money off of your taxes. No one is above the law.
If he broke the law, he should be held accountable, no?
Thankfully, 45 has committed enough felonies that Bragg doesn’t have to worry about parking tickets.
As a resident of Lee’s Summit who has spent many years watching you on our local news, I’m thoroughly disgusted with your statement. No one is above the law, even a former President.
Reminds me of the bible passages where the crowd is demanding Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus.
Oh, really?
Not paying them is still illegal. Are you saying misdemeanors don’t matter at all and should not be followed? Can I use your statement as my defense for not paying old parking tickets?
People get bench warrants all the time for unpaid tickets. Are you saying that they should stop that practice? If so, don’t ever issue parking tickets ever again. But why stop there? Just eliminate all laws that way Trump can never be found guilty of anything.
You’re really that silly? [….]
Mark Alford would say anything to kiss Trumps orange ass.
We definitely want him prosecuted for sedition and treason, you weasel.
Have you been born that stupid or did you work hard for it?
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
Hey, Mark (r), you can’t hold open public town halls for your Missouri constituents in Florida.

I was with the President Friday night and I can assure you he is resolute and focused on doing the things necessary to save this great nation from the destruction of enemies, both foreign and domestic.
We all know what this is…it’s political persecution from a Soros-funded hack and proof they are scared.
Would they be doing this if Trump wasn’t running in 2024? I can almost guarantee you they wouldn’t be. It’s clear they’ll dig everything up — dating back to past parking tickets to try to disqualify him!!!

Ah, moral relativism.

Well, that was a loud dog whistle.
Some of the responses:
Congressman, this is sad picture. If you think giving two thumbs up to next to someone who has subverted democracy, lived his entire life on the fringes of fraud and is devoid of moral decency then you’ve fallen farther from servant discipleship than I could’ve imagined.
Uh, Mark Alford (r) was already there.
President of the spray tan club?
Why don’t you try representing Missouri.
Former president, also ew.
Two losers, congratulations.
Well we in KC all knew what mark was really like. So glad you’re off of tv but sad you’re in office and a trumper. Bad all around.
Not the flex you think it is.
Here’s a novel idea … Go work for all your constituents and not just your conservative base. We all deserve better than this.
Careful who’s side you take. The former guy will turn on you. You’re liable to get what you deserve!
Lock him up!
Just had to add the #JewishBoogeyman, didn’t you, you pathetic little sycophant?
Mark. [….] what the hell are you doing man.
He’s always known.
Oh brother. Such an embarrassment for KC…. I’m surprised you were able to post this with your lips on his ass.

Thanks so much for attending we attempt to inspire people to greatness and make Americans great again!!! 11:06 AM · Mar 16, 2023
Any open public town halls in the district? Where? When?
Yesterday, from Mark Alford (r), privileged traveler:
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
Thanks Mayor Pete!!! Sitting on SW flight at KCI. Was supposed to leave at 2, then 4, then 6, then 9pm, now back to 4! Turns out shortages at the air traffic control in Florida is causing unwarranted confusion. The Captain is now late because HE didn’t even know what time to be here. The “Peter Principal” is alive and well!!! @SouthwestAir @PeteButtigieg

A single exclamation mark will do, Mark (r).
The International Air Transportation Association (IATA) lists MCI as the airport’s designator code. But, you already knew that, didn’t you?
Some of the responses:
what a lazy and weak politician.
sees problems and points fingers instead of looking for solutions.
Mark Alford (r) responds in turn:

Here’s the solution: Fire Mayor Pete and get a new Secretary of transportation 4:55 PM · Mar 12, 2023
He’s stupid and he’s twelve years old. That’ll work in the republican House majority.
More responses:
how about practical solutions Representative Alford?
your elected position doesn’t involve appointing DOT exec, but you ARE empowered to legislate.
what legislative solutions are available Representative Alford?
That makes it better how?
Will the next one have the budget to hire and train more controllers? But new equipment?
Maybe since the ATC shortage is in FL, we fire DeSantis? That makes as much sense as firing the Transportation Secretary who does not personally hire Air Traffic Controllers either. [….]
That may give you an orgasm but it won’t solve the controller problems.
What a lame response! Just shows your lack of depth.
Nope. Not a solution. That’s finger-pointing for clicks and likes. Disappointed (but not surprised) you don’t know the difference. And btw, if you understand the difference but post anyway, that doesn’t make you clever.
It just makes him a stupid and petulant twelve-year-old.
How about you bought GQPers stop deregulation.
So just tear down what you don’t like…. Got it. That’s good leadership.
What have you done that’s constructive? Nothing.
How will that fix your delay?
Because flight delays are a new thing?? LOL you’re a joke.
Cabinet Secretaries are in charge of staffing? Perhaps all the Florida politicians are responsible? Odd that GOP lawmakers can’t be taken seriously. All theater, no governing.
Maybe when you get back to DC, you could go into your office and respond to the many emails, letters, phone calls and other inquiries that have been sent from your constituents in the 4th district of Missouri. You are failing to respond to your constituents!
I live in your district and yet haven’t seen anything you have done besides follow along with no direction. Where is better health care your party has promised? Why are you all against everybody paying social security on all there income like I had all the years I worked.
You are an ass. Shut up.
You have the emotional intelligence of a fucking 5-year-old.
I figured a twelve-year-old, but okay.
Man, no reason to think Southwest could have played any role in this based on our evidence…100% some politician’s fault. gotta be.
if you think southwest is giving you the full story, you’re somehow dumber than your twitter profile makes you look.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.
You’re sure a disappointment! And I didn’t expect much.
Florida? Isn’t this a DeSantis problem then?
GFY Alford.
Could someone bring Mark his coffee?
You’re just as whiny and negative as you were on the local news. What an embarrassment you are to Missouri.
And your background is . . . reading the news [….]
What is it with short men and chips on their shoulders? You left being an eye-rolling performative morning news presenter to be a useless performative politician.
Exactly what did Mayor Pete do to cause this problem?
You are a literal joke. It doesn’t take any type of skill to simply repeat the same tired talking points as every other GOP politician.
Of course you spent your life reading off a teleprompter so why am I surprised.
MAGA is just about bitching and whining. Nothing more, nothing less. Snowflakes with no solutions
Jhc, stop your whining & bitching. I’d be more concerned that your Captain doesn’t know when to be at work, that’s the airlines fault.
So the pilot not checking is scheduled is the Secretary of transportation’s fault? Are you really that stupid? Does it hurt being that stupid?
Are you part of the problem, the solution, or just a total dumb ass? I think we all know. Even the few that liked you on tv.
Is it that some action, or inaction by Buttigieg/DOT is responsible in any way shape or form for this particular flight delay? OR is it that maybe, just maybe, Southwest is just a bad airline which is constantly plagued by delays? You’re such an infantile pillock.
Mark, I really appreciate you making more people aware of just how much of an asshole you are. Propose a solution, dipshit.

An open public town hall in the district is never going to happen. It would be too much of a challenge to the prevailing right wingnut conventional wisdom.
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
Count me among those who think @POTUS has been an utter failure. A divider not a Uniter. A Trojan horse for the radical, woke and broke wing of the Democrat party. The “Marionette” President. Someone else is pulling the strings.
[….] 6:46 PM · Mar 2, 2023
Evidently Mark Alford (r) doesn’t understand the difference between a noun and an adjective. That’s really sad for someone who was once a newsreader.
“Marionette” – for right wingnut republicans every accusation is actually a confession.
Some of the responses:
Woke this Woke that…. WTF does Woke mean? Spell it.
What is your definition of “woke”? Would you please tell us how Trump tried to unite us? Is Trump’s denial of the results of the 2020 election an example of a “uniter”?
You said you were going to DC to change it. Well you are DC. Performative politics. Partisanship politics. Pandering politics. Are you going to be like this for all of your 2 years?
Yes. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.
Half of Missouri also can’t tie their own shoes so…
Dude you’re turning more into a clown day by day it’s sad.
Turning?
Your words are so uniting. #moreofthesame
Someone is pulling your strings or like typical puppets has their hand jammed up your arse.
Former newsreader has previous experience.
Stick to “we will be right back after this word from Price Chopper”. You are an embarrassment
Heh. We’ll never get tired of this one.
You are batshit crazy, Mark. Divider? That is all your orange guy you cuck for does for his own gain. Your party (and my old one) doe nothing now but dog whistle and lie (see everything about Fox News). You are simply blowing the same dog whistle. No action. Just rhetoric.
Well you’re a fucking idiot so there’s that. @POTUS is doing fine.

We have no idea.
Cut the crap, if you know how to fix budget deficit come up with a proposal on where the cuts can be made. If not, not raising the debt ceiling would be the greatest gift to China, ruining $ status as global reserve currency that gave us the advantage of not borrowing yuan
Go to bed Mark. This is way above your level of comprehension. Stick to, “we will be back after this word from Price Chopper.”
A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.

“I’m guessing probably they were pico balloons,” said Tom Medlin, a retired FedEx engineer and co-host of the Amateur Radio Roundtable show. Medlin has three pico balloons in flight in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Launching high-altitude, circumnavigational pico balloons has emerged only within the past decade. [….]it was possible to calculate the amount of helium gas necessary to make a common latex balloon neutrally buoyant at altitudes above 43,000 ft. The balloons carry an 11-gram tracker on a tether, along with HF and VHF/UHF antennas to update their positions to ham radio receivers around the world. At any given moment, several dozen such balloons are aloft, with some circling the globe several times before they malfunction or fail for other reasons. The launch teams seldom recover their balloons.
[….]
In fact, the pico balloons weigh less than 6 lb. and therefore are exempt from most FAA airspace restrictions…
