Congressman Mark Alford
[March 10, 2026]
·
Drone warfare has fundamentally changed the battlefield over the last decade.
Our mission is clear: eliminate Iran’s missile and drone manufacturing capabilities so they cannot regenerate them again.
America has the strongest military in the world, and we will continue to outmatch any threat.
[….]

Some of the responses:

How about we try peace? Stop making it about religion and attacking them every 5 to 10 years.

You can build drones in a garage, series of garages. Make parts in underground workshops.

Good thing Eric and Junior are benefiting from drone sales.

Yeah, I read about that….

Ole Miss Lindsey even said they’re making a fortune.

Sales yes. But they don’t know anything about technology.

Renting the brand, for a significant cut.

We all know why this campaign of death Started when it did

Sell weapons… build condos… steal oil.
Good job GOP
[….]

yep the trumps get richer when daddy starts a war

You really don’t know how cheap and easily it is to make drones

Drones are cheaper than missiles and they have an ample supply of them made in China.

Shahed drones were designed in Iran. They are manufactured in Iran and Russia.

And make Eric Trump a lot richer, right?

What’s the endgame? The message changes daily.

Affordability. Not seeing much of that here.

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

And Trump initially turned down Ukrainian expertise in combating drones. Now they want it.

Oddly using a million dollar missile to shoot down a 20,000 drone seems counter productive. Missiles take months to build but they make 800 drones a day + a steady supply from China. This the same logic Russia is using in their continuing 3 day war

We could learn a lot from Ukraine. Too bad we have not given them the support they need. To bad Felon 47 is a Russian asset.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

You should be investigating how the President’s sons are now involved in the drone business. You won’t because you have zero integrity.

Grifters be grifting.

Hey Mark, the Trump family is now in the military drone business. Is it okay for them to make money off this war?

Stop this warmongering now! This not a video game that you are playing here, these are real people who are being radicalized against America. Our friends in this world a getting fewer and fewer by the day. It is time to stop this senseless war and figure out how to get OUT of this mess, instead of deeper into the manure pile!

And yet we obliterated Iran’s nuclear capability… until we didn’t.
The felon can try all the distractions he likes. We know what’s going on.

Yeah, Markie, no clear mission has been stated by the higher ups. As usual, you are making stuff up to please your atrocious masters.

is that the talking point on what today’s mission is? I thought it was their nuclear program? Or the radical leadership? Or the oil… or….
Just pick one and stick with it. You all sound like morons.

Another war monger is born. Somebody is full shit. Do we need to get all these idiots in a room so at least they are spouting the same shit.

And you will give them 50 billion more of our tax money next week?

You’re a fucking moron.

“No war with Iran”

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Yesterday:

Rep. Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford

This isn’t about politics. It’s about keeping America safe and making sure our fuel keeps flowing. Taking action now against a dangerous regime may cost a little today, but it protects every American tomorrow.
[…..]
4:28 PM · Mar 6, 2026

Thanks for nothing, Mark.

Some of the responses via another social media site:

The question you should be asking is what planning took place to protect the Staits of Hormuz before the bombing began. Have you asked? If no, why didn’t you?

yeah, starting a war always seems like a good path to peace in the world.

Come on Markie, you did it, OWN IT!!

What flavor Kool-Aid is your favorite?

Spinning. People are struggling and your rich @$$ is telling us it’s not bad suck it up. When you’re out of a job suck it up!

The dow……., down, down, and gas up up up, I hope I don’t go broke. I’m not a millionaire. Praying for a stable economy. Praying for peace before man destroys the whole world.

So it’s about keeping oil flowing?

Are you getting dizzy from all that spinning, Mark?

Pushing corporate profits to protect Americans sometime in the future… 🤡

Admitting its about oil, yay atleast we’re being honest now.

Why do we keep hearing that we have to suffer now to be ok later? How about stop making shit worse?

And what about the constitution….care at all about that?

It’s a good thing those goal posts are movable …

Heh.

So now Republicans are 𝘧𝘰𝘳 high gas prices. Got it. 🤣

Warmonger.

Hurt a little now??? Kind of like all the job losses we are having. When do we start winning?

Gaslighting at its finest!!

Yes we are taking away your benefits and giving tax breaks to the rich, but look on the bright side, we are also going to raise the cost of living.

Yep.

Now all of a sudden high gas prices are not a problem

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

High gas prices are good for us now?

Nonsense. Your party tossed a working agreement to start this conflict.

So… campaign promises are now opposite of what you plan to do and are a good thing? lol. Drink up the kool aid.

Drink up the artificially flavored and orange-colored [insert name brand here] sugar water drink.

I thought the fuel was flowing? You guys made it stop flowing…

Is that what you want to call it?

Which “dangerous regime” are you referring to, the one in Tehran or Washington DC?

I thought this wasn’t about oil?

Do you pay for your own gas?

Nice spin! You support billions for a foreign war but are fine with Americans have a 30,000 dollar healthcare deductible?

That’s a feature, not a bug. It’s not a problem if you’re in the top 1%.

“Our fuel”? Last I saw it was in the ground of another sovereign nation. What makes it “ours”?

So now it’s not about politics because prices are skyrocketing. Let’s remind Little Marky he has used gas prices to push his politics ever since he entered them. You see Little Marky is a hypocrite and he knows his MAGA loyalists are so stupid they believe every word he utters. Vote him out!

You realize that gas went up when we went to war right…

Glad Harris didn’t get elected…We might be at war with rising gas prices and higher unemployment

So they said.

Did you add the $1 billion a day our military is spending?
But I guess health care was too expensive

The dangerous regime is ours

Alford over hear asking people to ignore whats going on. Gas prices are nearing numbers that resemble Mark’s height. Unemployment is up. Non-farm payrolls are down. Previous employment numbers revised down. That 50,000 market Noem mentioned is now hanging on to 47,000. Everything this administration touches breaks, including Mark Alford’s dignity.

Trumpflation

Sheep. You, relegate your constituents to sheep. Just say what ever the wind blows and they’ll eat it up. Iran was not a threat to America. Not enough to start a fcking war that majority of America doesn’t want. But go ahead and gaslight your people.

That’s what you said about tariffs too.
Jobs report says 92,000 jobs lost last month. How many more months is all this short term pain going to last?

Years. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

During the state of the Union less than a month ago Trump said that the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated. Iran may have had bad leaders, but they were not a threat to the US. This war, these oil prices are 1000% political. And I worry far less what this will cost in oil and dollar, and I worry far more what this will cost in human blood and lives.

This is the concept of a plan that we’ve been waiting for?

Oh, so you’re all admitting it’s a war now.

North Korea is a dangerous regime. Are we going to hit them next?

Apparently Cuba is next.

No, the attack on Iran did literally nothing for the safety of people in the US.

The dangerous regime? You mean the one in the white house? 🤔

There are tons of dangerous regimes. You’re giving Trump a blank check to go after them all and bankrupt our country…even after he said no wars?

It’s about Trump trying to create an emergency to cancel midterms

Iran has been two weeks from a nuke for 30 years. If you believe this narrative, you’re proof of a failed education

They had a concept of a plan.

Lol we all watched the lies with the “war on terror” we know your all full of shit

Some people are too stupid to know when to just STFU.

It may cost a little but the billionaires will be fine.

How does higher gas prices keep me safe?

Aw yes attacking Iran because he failed to negotiate a nuclear deal that was already in place, the only issue with said deal was it didn’t have his name on it.

That was what Trump said about tariffs, it will hurt now but will be worth it in the long run. How is that going for grocery prices?

If you are serious about protecting this country than you need to break the stranglehold that Big Oil has on this country. They can raise their price whenever they feel like it and that raises the price for just about everything we use on a daily basis. Protect this country by breaking their hold over us by investing in solar and wind power like most of the other countries in the world are doing. One of the reasons we are in this war, is the fact that Big Oil is scared they are being run out of their monopoly and this war will allow them to make billions before the rest of the world stops using oil and gasoline. SOme countries have already made solar and wind power their biggest power suppliers and if we were smart we would have done so to, but instead we elected a man hell bent to take us backwards 100 years to using coal power again and who has done his best to stop solar and wind power in this country to pay back his Big Oil buddies. How much money do YOU get from Big Oil?

Did they have yellow cake uranium again?

The united states only gets about 10% of its oil from the middle east. We have enough oil right here to be self sufficient.
So it’s the middleman, within the united states that is causing these prices to go up.
Sounds rather fraudulent. Why aren’t you looking into that?

It costs a lot more than a ‘little.’ A billion a day. And if you think this isn’t going to turn into a quagmire I got some Trump crypto coin to sell you

It’s about lining the pockets of the mega rich.

Congressman Mark Alford puts out another reason for this war, and it is a war. Now the war is to keep the oil flowing

They told us last summer they had obliterated Iran’s nuclear capability. Surely they weren’t lying to us.

They were. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Make sure you spew that at your next town hall 🥴

Heh.

I hope your people understand how stupid you are

They don’t.

Republicans, including this Mark Alford liar, told us that if we voted for Democrats then America would wind up in a war with Iran.

Yea when inflation is at a high, affordability is out of reach and Americans struggle, we needed a new war costing a billion dollars a day and rising gas prices to make things easier. You chumps really are just in it to make life worse for everyone except the rich.

The bottom line is the GOP has just used aggression against Iran, as well as Minneapolis, now Kansas and Missouri without justification that ultimately costs Missourians. But please, rationalize away.

That was the point of USAID, but this administration thought it was a waste of money… 🙄

You Sir are an idiot, simple as that.

Keep convincing yourself of that. This certainly doesn’t affect your pocket book like it does the millions of Americans already struggling to put food on the table and paying bills. This president and his administration along with the majority of the Republican Party have done NOTHING to help Americans. What’s your excuse now Congressman Mark Alford

Not believing any of your bull 💩

Are you as dumb as you think we are?

Dude you bragged only a few weeks ago about the price of gas.
Nice try.
Actually, not really.

Weird way of saying we’re getting fucked by MAGA

Those 92,000 that lost their jobs last month care about the gas prices

This is a needless, endless war on a whim. We have enough problems with no solutions from you and now this just adds to it. No one wants this.

You’re such a clown 🤡

This afternoon:

Congressman Mark Alford
[March 1, 2026]

Once again, the heroic airmen of Missouri’s own Whiteman Air Force Base lead the way.
The Show Me State continues to show the world what Peace Through Strength looks like.

U.S. Central Command
[March 1, 2026]

Last night, U.S. B-2 stealth bombers, armed with 2,000 lb. bombs, struck Iran’s hardened ballistic missile facilities. No nation should ever doubt America’s resolve.
[….]

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

==========

When the government tells you that what you are is seeing peace when it is war, it’s time to get new representation.

head in the sand? There’s never been peace in the entire history of mankind.

what do [you] love about being a propaganda apologist the best?

Does Mark pay you well to make a fool of yourself on social media?

Don’t you think it’s about time, then?

time for what? Finally ripping the Constitution to shreds? What is it that you love the most about American soldiers being killed to cover up for the Epstein files?

==========

What happened to no new wars, Mark? I was promised that a vote for Kamala meant certain war with Iran. Weird.

How many civilians did those bombs kill,? How many children?

zero! I ran Hitler school with their own missile, they were unfazed because they had just killed 50,000 of its own people in the last three weeks

Heard the B2s leave. What an awesome sound they make. So proud of Whiteman and all crews involved. Seeing a B2 is like watching an Eagle. AMERICAN proud

Sure. What good is the $2 billion cost per aircraft if you don’t use them every once in a while, right?

So what’s the plan Mark? Do unarmed Iranians rise up against maybe a million military loyalists? Do they see them as the enemy or the country that is now dropping bombs?

We need to stop bragging Mark. We’re not ten foot tall and bullet proof. Have you forgotten they stuck it to us once? There’s a real good chance there going to get even with us.

The United States just killed the equivilant of the Pope for the Iranians. Mark Alford doesn’t have a clue.

Germans tore down their own wall. When another country takes down a foreign government it can have unintended consequences. We removed Iran’s elected leader in 1953 and installed a monarch. In 1979 the Islamic (Iranian) Revolution removed the monarch.

Operation Epstein Fury

We didn’t Obliterate those sites….. the first time Mr. Alford??

For the U.S., the deaths of three service members in the first two days of the war signaled that Iran was more prepared than the Trump administration anticipated, U.S. military officials said.

How much does all this cost taxpayers?

Our service men and women wouldn’t be in harms way if your 🍊🎪🤡 would stop putting them there

My cousin’s husband is one of those pilots. They have 3 small children who pray he comes home from your made up war.

==========

I’ll take “Totally Serious Republican Toadies Feigning Gravitas, Concern (for debt, troops, privilege, et al.), and Statemanship” for $2.59, please Alex!

What IS Mark Alford?

===========

Wonderful that we are able to send these great planes halfway around the world to drop their bombs. Meanwhile we here in the 4th District are having to deal with substandard wages, outrageous healthcare insurance premiums, and expensive groceries. How is bombing Iran helping your constituents here at home? That age old question “guns or butter, but you can’t have both” needs an answer. Which side are you on?

You sir, and I use that term loosely, are supporting the actions of an anti-constitutional criminal.
Trump and the GOP are the most Un American thing I could have ever imagined.
Disgraceful and disgusting.

This. Is. Dumb.

Hey sleepy mark better get your kids and family members down to your recruitment office and enlist them for this useless war you support.

Congressman Mark Alford, it’s not surprising that you misuse the phrase, “peace through strength”, since you prove daily you can’t think for yourself.
This phrase has always meant attaining a position of superior military strength so that others think twice before attacking. It also sets the stage for negotiations when those involved are motivated by a moral compass instead of a greed for power or fortune.
The sadly relevant phrase here is “peace through war”, which is as stupid as it sounds, yet here we are.
Mr. Alford, I feel certain I am not alone in delighting in the thought of you suffering an embarrassing defeat at the polls come November.

This isn’t Peace, Congressman Mark Alford! This is far from it!! This is unnecessary Aggression; and You, Congressman, should be outraged that Trump did not pass this through Congress before acting!!!

WAR? What WAR?

Operation Epic Fury: After years of warnings and failed diplomacy, President Trump acted decisively against Iran’s radical regime. America didn’t start this fight — but we will finish it with strength.
Join me in praying for our brave service members in harm’s way. [….]

“The GOP wants WW3”

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

This is on you Alford! And everyone who supports this administration.

No. But I will join you in prayer that the constitution you swore an oath to uphold can bear the heavy weight of yet another direct assault by this Iligitimate administration and MAGA party.

Fascist enabler.

Unprovoked attack. Another attack with nodeclared wR and no warning.
Acting like negotiations are on going then pulling a Pearl Habor style attack.
This is bull shit.
The US has to stop attacking countries just because we can.
When we get attacked back we cry terrorism.

Operation Orange Fury.

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

What happened to no new wars, Mark?

imagine if we could have had a deal where we could go and investigate their nuclear facilities. Only an absolute moron would leave a deal like that.

My question is why trump did this w out permission from congress and no one seems to care! Alford should be pissed and speak about that and not support a president who does this time after time! What a fkd up govt we have…War = death and why this time? Sooo many questions w no answers! I pray for our military personnel and ANY innocent who will die because of all this! Truth and proof would be a nice change🤫🤔🤑🤑

Is Barron Trump ready to but boots on the ground?? How about your son ??

he probably has hereditary bone spurs

he has bone spurs 🤣🤣

Is this your attempt at geopolitics? Yeah. Maybe just focus in terms of Missouri on second thought

Operation Epstein Fury

I thought Trump obliterated their nuclear program in June 2025?

You have that “way too much Kool-Aid” look on your face.

But the Board of Peace. . . .

Grift. With no refunds.

it’s a good thing that you live in a country that won’t murder you for speaking out against the government

Uh, someone should tell them.

I thought he said no more wars?

Trump described the US military campaign as “massive and ongoing,” warned American lives may be lost
Trump holds a $1 million-per-person candlelight dinner at Mar-a-Largo tonight at 730pm.
Happy Saturday.

Why isn’t Barron on the front lines?

Who smiles while talking about war?

Has Barron trump enlisted to fight or did he inherit his father’s bone spurs

I’ll pray you get a clue.

All smiles? You’ll own this!

Wag the dog.

But wait. Didn’t we “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear capabilities in June last year?

This war will outlast both of your terms.

“War [good god!] Is Good [what is it good for?] For Absolutely Nothing [say it again!]”
Circa 2001-2005.
28 x 22, posterboard, permanent marker.

No new wars, huh?

I just don’t understand. Seems like another case where the problem is caused directly by Trump, and then he strongly pretends to fix it. We had a 6-nation agreement on Iran’s nuclear weapons that only Trump walked away from. Then, he told us he “obliterated” the weapons capability last June, now he says different. You really think we should take him seriously now?

The cult will always buy the obvious lies of the cult leader.
That’s one part that makes it a cult.
Pointing out contradictory facts won’t slow them down – just makes them call you names.

Do you think the American people are pro war?

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” – Trump, 11/1/24
“I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” – Trump, 11/5/24

Killing Iranian people makes more enemies than friends. You are an Idiot, how many soldiers & sailors will die because of Republicans starting endless wars?

You cannot possibly be this fucking stupid.

Did your congressional colleagues approve this war, or is just another look-the-other-way moment for all of you? At this point, “spineless” is the least insulting adjective I can use to describe the GOP.

Wipe that stupid look off your face. If you can.

You’ve really drunk the KoolAid.

You support an unconstitutional action by a felon? Wipe that damn smirk off your face.

Look at this glib, gleeful idiot. We have truly elected the worst to represent us.

Your complicity is noted

Operation dumb ass

Did Congress get consulted per the constitution? Do your damn job

… America literally started this fight you fucking dumbass.
How the fuck did they elect the village idiot as a representative in Congress?

Ah now we are connecting the words FAILED and DEMOCRACY as the next step of fascist messaging with just 2.5 years to convince people to give up on voting and let rich people make all the decisions. Which is what missouri has already done

He started it when he tore up an agreement already in place. The idiocy and lunacy of this man is fucking nuts

You’re a real sycophant POS, Mark.

Just because you lie about this war doesn’t make us support it, or you!

You are the worst.

Nuremberg bitch

Acting like you care!!😡

What the hell is the matter with you

You are a war monger.

America first? No new wars? Bunch of hypocrites. All of you.

MAGA is a war movement
It doesn’t work without war
The war started against the American people
Now it is expanding
This is exactly what MAGA voted for

The United States did start this fight. Trump said no more wars, he lied.
This is an unapproved and illegal war. It is time cowardly Republicans grow a spine and stop his crimes against the world and the American people.
You are wholly complicit in every crime you turn a blind eye too. It is fast becoming a mountain of vile crimes and self enrichment.
Do something! Or resign.

What an absolute disgrace. What happened to no more useless foreign wars over oil?

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 25, 2026]

Last night made it crystal clear:
The divide in this country isn’t caused by President Trump — it’s between those who put America first and those who put illegal aliens first.”
It’s time for the left to drop the Trump Derangement Syndrome and get on board with putting America first
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

That is a bunch of baloney. You both need to acquaint yourself with the US Constitution and the system of checks and balances.
Apparently, you are on Team Herod and not Team Jesus. You would have taken pride in sending Jesus back across the border to be killed by Herod. Yet, you pretend to be a follower of Christ. You make my heart hurt.

How about putting our Constitution first

The Constitution comes first!

Mark every one of your posts is divisive. “Democrats did this and republicans did that.” Every single one. You feed into it.

Mark, you keep making these posts, do you ever take the time to read your comments. If not, maybe you should.

When was the last time a president pointed to his opposition party and called them all crazy?
The government is being sued by over 1500 corporations because they illegally implemented tariffs. What’s the plan for that?

The only thing that last night made crystal clear is that our government is becoming ever less a serious institution and more a performative entertainment organization.

Cambridge Dictionary definition of derangement: the state of being completely unable to think clearly or behave in a controlled way, especially because of mental illness. My dislike of Trump is throughly rational and well-considered.

Are you high?

Jesus fuck you are dumb

What are you going to do when Trump leaves office?

The State of the Dementia speech.

We are still waiting for affordable health care and living wages. What are you doing about these issues?

Well, that is completely laughable

It’s weird. I seem to remember Donald Trump referring to Democrats as crazy last night. Who’s dividing?

Mark, the sycophant puppet who can’t come up with anything original

You are putting party over the American constitution. Do the job you swore to uphold.

“The division isn’t caused by Trump, so blindly follow the Trump regime… or else!”

Mark Alford, you are a fool!

I am so tired of the same old BS lies and propaganda. Just stop. You are a disgrace.

You are such a puppet.

TDS perfectly describes the cultish behavior exhibited by the trained seals jumping up and down and clapping wildly at every inane utterance

Bullshit. The divide is between those who will stand up for the Constitution and those who want to trample on it. THAT is putting America first, Congressman. Hope you get swept out in the midterms because clearly, your priorities are totally out of whack.

Trump is the cause of the division. Period.

You’re nuts, he turned against the Supreme Court and acted like a toddler….

The “divide” is completely Trump’s fault. To say otherwise is just another lie.

You know TDS is a fake disorder created by a bunch of knuckle dragging bootlickers, right? This is a class war, devised by a bunch of rich assholes trying to get richer.

Propagandist Bull Shit is all you post. Damn man, you’re getting worse every day

You are insane.

The divide isn’t ’caused’ by him; it is led by him. He’s the most disgusting, narcissistic, bully man-baby ever. Your video shows him throwing someone out of his little speech because they disagree with him – that is literally what division looks like.

That’s the most idiotic statement I’ve seen in awhile. Spineless boot licker.

Trump puts himself first. Always.
Never think for a second that he cares about what happens to anyone else.
He will lie about easily checked facts and then say he never said the things he said.
And you fall in line.

The divide is caused by you and your constant rhetoric of blame.

You’re a buffoon

Oh good lord! I think if another empty talking head uses that idiotic term TDS , I’m gonna have a stroke. Trump says something stupid & his mindless minions repeat it ad nauseam. Clearly you drank his kool aid. And realize that HE is the divisive factor in this country.

Last night made it crystal clear you’re out of touch with reality

Sure he’s not trying to be divisive. Just do exactly as he demands and then it won’t be divisive. If that is your spin I would hate to be your wife, child or friend. The my way or the highway doesn’t work in a democracy if 330,000,000 people.

Are you effing kidding me. You are perpetuating the divide with that rhetoric. Do you not understand what Trump is doing? He is all about numbers to make himself look good. This isn’t about America first. 70% of the people that have been sent to concentration camps are not criminals and none of them have been given due process. You’re OK with that? That tells me all I need to know about you and your Republican Party. You are just perpetuating the lies in the division. Wake the fuck up.
People are not putting illegal aliens first. And the lies about illegal aliens brutally attacking Americans or not paying their taxes, or getting away with fraud is all Trump lies. Apparently you have been drinking the Kool-Aid.

Oh, look! More fear mongering, lies and propaganda! Submit to the overlord or you’re the devil. He is the divider in chief and you are his puppet. Period.

I want my tariff money back

Who was it that promoted the birther theory? Quit with your lying republican propaganda

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 25, 2026]

Honestly, it’s shocking… that when 74 million Americans voted for America First border security, Democrats still choose illegal aliens over your safety.
ICE is fully funded. This shutdown is stupid. Stop choosing chaos over country, Americans see right through it.
[….]

Shocking.

Some of the responses:

ICE killed 2 US citizens and initially refused to investigate.
No name tags, no markings and no uniforms.
Not normal for police or a public agency.

BS

What kind of defilement? What disgusting and degrading thing did the 4th amendment force you to do that makes you hate it so much? You poor thing.

So let’s try to understand- we have millions to spend on concentration camps and thugs and suvs and motels for this secret police nonsense but heaven forbid that we may have given an illegal- who was actually working- a free meal?

==========

Where is a concentration camp? Tell us.

I hope you never see what a real concentration camp looked like. You do a disservice to every person that endured one by using your false comparison.

you need to do some research Nazis are associated with concentration camps. ICE is buying buildings to detain illegals until they are deported. QUIT lying

“What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process….”

They asked.

Continuing:

Why not try to unite the country rather than always say how bad the other guy is? Is that helpful in any way?

==========

Mark, the issue is not about getting illegal aliens out. It’s the profiling, it’s arresting citizens, and most importantly the lack of dignity ICE gives to people. Everyone has a right to there day in court. Even illegals. It’s in the Constitution.

Illegals have no rights in our country

If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done had you lived in Germany in the 1930s, you’re doing it now.

==========

Are you still working to get a detention center in your district? Your constituents might have some opinions on that.

What color is the sky in your world Mark??

Brownshirt. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

What about funding for public education and addressing health care? Stop divisive political rhetoric and listen to ALL your constituents!

He’s been too busy going after all that concentration camp grift for the district.

Accountability and respecting citizen’s constitutional rights are non negotiable. You can’t spin this one.

Yet he still does.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

74 million is less than half of the total votes, so…

What’s shocking is that Republicans would rather keep the govt closed than DEMAND ICE FOLLOW LAWS and unmask. The corruption party twisting the facts, as usual.

News flash: Brown and black American children are Americans, too. You aren’t protecting them. You are terrorizing and traumatizing them.

==========

No, Democrats are choosing innocent people’s lives and the Constitution over your armed gestapo thugs

So, Mark……….how does it feel to be on Team Herod instead of Team Jesus?
What would have happened if ICE would have been in Egypt when Jesus’ family fled there? You and yours would have sent him back to Israel and certain death.
You and your cohorts must be super-proud to be Team Herod, right?

Good guys DON’T shoot a man in the BACK 10 times!!!

an armed obstructionist? Peaceful protesters don’t show up with loaded weapons. That was on him.

So, now the Second Amendment, The One True Amendment ®, isn’t worth shit?

===========

Guessing 74 million don’t feel the same after a year of reality 🤷🏼‍♂️🖕🏼

Heh. Well, at least some of them.

How about you complain more about the superbowl halftime show. At least that was entertaining to hear how dumb you are

Actually, Americans see right through Republicans condoning violence to citizens in the name of law and order to divert attention from your crooked pedophile leader.

It’s amazing that people voted for your snivelling little ass kissing self!
Back on the trail! Kissing Trumps ass more and more!

We see right through you…

If you really believe the stuff spewing from your mouth, I feel very sorry that you are too blind to see.

It is shocking that you lie about it.
Sad.
Weird.

Not surprising though.

Listen to Mark Alford, wow! He’s trying to convince people that passing that one. Stupid ass bill was good. Now we’re saying that what they totally funded for 4 years is a group that’s just terrorizing the country. Everybody needs to ask him, how are those shooting investigations coming. Yeah crickets!

SHUT UP you fucking moron – goddamn maga garbage

They’re not “aliens “. They are people, you pine cone.

Mark, you know that is a cynical spin of reality. Most Americans, democrat and republican, did and still support border control and removal of persons who entered the country illegal, focusing initially on the felonious and violent criminals. We do not support deporting families without due process who entered the country legally and have been dutifully pursuing the required steps to have their asylum claim adjudicated in an immigration court. We do not support the deportation of those who arrived here as children, because as Christians we do not believe they should be punished for the sins of their parents. We believe that any immigrant that served should be automatically made a citizen. Try telling the truth for the great majority of all Americans who agree on these basic concepts, instead of trying to divide us by inventing these mythical strawmen you love to demonize.

Your policies don’t put America first, they don’t increase border security, and they don’t help our safety. ICE officers are more likely to murder American citizens than undocumented immigrants are. Members of the Trump administration are more likely to rape Americans than undocumented immigrants are. These are matters of undeniable fact.

you know we can see through your bullshit….right?

In addition to killing US citizens on the streets, violating constitutional rights and being told by a Judge that they have violated 94 court orders in just one month, in just one state:
ICE agents are going to schools and trying to snatch children and teachers. They threw flash bangs and tear gas at a car not involved with any protest and caused an infant to stop breathing and 3 children to need to go to the hospital. They tackled a 17 year old US citizen at his job, threw him in a car and dumped him miles away crying and bleeding ppwithout his phone. They are reportedly breaking down doors without federal warrants and pulling fire alarms to flush out brown people. Think if that was your family and neighbors.

For some reason you have started showing up in my feed. And the only thing that makes me happy about that is reading the overwhelming number of comments that disagree with your awful leadership and divisive rhetoric. I’m wondering if you’ve actually noticed that yet?

“…We share our wisdom with those who seek it. It’s a life of quiet dignity…”

It’s shocking that fascist assholes who ignore due process and violate civil rights still post this bigoted crap.

you are an idiot 🙂

Who controls both houses of congress you fucktard?

I wish this asshole read these comments when he posts something stupid and hateful. But you know he doesn’t. He has no clue how decent people think and act.

Its called due process and doing it lawfully you cultist

What if I told you that Americans and lawfully-present immigrants were being detained, beaten, and killed by untrained masked thugs?
What if it was your kid, your neighbor, your parent?
Stop goosestepping and open your eyes, dude. The voters are about to open them for you.

Fuck you & the American Gestapo.

What’s shocking is that you guys are apparently not paying attention…this nonsense isn’t working anymore. We’re immune to this xenophobic virus of yours

Yes Mark Yes We Do see the chaos you all are causing. Spin it all you want.

Why do people believe anything from you? You didn’t work for a news agency before this, you worked for an entertainment network. You’ve never been required to be honest and you’re still not.

Peckerhead the big ugly bill took money from Medicaid to fund your secret police.

Spin doctor. Stirring up the masses to create confusion, which leads to frustration, and accelerates into conflict. This is a textbook example of poor leadership. Don’t buy it. My opinions are my own.

Americans see that Ice is overfunded, under trained and killing Americans. You’d do well to listen to your constituents.

You should stop posting. Lay low. Maybe people will forget about you and accidentally vote for you.

Mark. You’re a moron. Stop acting like the rest of us are too.

Clown

I don’t understand why Alford never answers ANY of the questions. That speaks volumes

We DID NOT vote for roving gangs of armed, masked thugs!

Stop. Just stop. Save your breath. No one’s buying it, Buddy.

Ok let me explain like the 8th grader you are. The Constitution give everyone rights. Follow the law and shut the fuck up.

You’re such a shitty liar.

He be a sycophant by his trade

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

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

This afternoon:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 20, 2026]

My statement on the Supreme Court Ruling on President Trump’s tarriffs:

“I wholeheartedly support President Trump’s efforts to advance a trade strategy that stops foreign countries from taking advantage of American workers, while supporting Missouri jobs, businesses, and consumers.

This SCOTUS decision does not eliminate all avenues for the President to pursue this strategy, and I look forward to working constructively with the Administration and my colleagues in Congress to identify other paths to further our shared goals.”

You mean “identify other paths” to raise taxes on the working class? What an asshole.

Some of the responses:

Sure buddy. Ruling by executive Fiat when you hold unified government control in a so-called historic voter mandate, is not weird at all. You guys haven’t totally invalidated your credibility moving forward. I’m sure the MAGA be fine for the next…what, 6 or 7 months?

This is why you should do things legally. IAW the laws not try and make everything an emergency.
You have congress let them do their job.

Congressman Mark Alford, here’s a serious question. Are your “colleagues in Congress” both parties or just those legislators who embrace MAGA?

“I fully support president Trump taxing the American people with no checks.” – Mark

Based on the text in this statement, here are the primary logical fallacies and rhetorical strategies being used:
* Begging the Question (Assuming the Conclusion): The statement assumes as fact that the specific trade strategy (the tariffs) actually does “stop foreign countries from taking advantage” and does “support Missouri jobs, businesses, and consumers.” It treats the intended goals of the policy as its guaranteed outcomes, without providing evidence that the tariffs actually achieve these positive results.
* Appeal to Emotion / Appeal to Patriotism: The language relies heavily on emotionally charged, patriotic framing. Phrases like “taking advantage of American workers” and “supporting Missouri jobs” are designed to evoke a strong protective and patriotic response, encouraging the reader to support the stance based on feeling rather than a detailed economic argument.
* Glittering Generalities: This statement uses universally appealing but vague concepts. Everyone generally wants to support local jobs and stop workers from being taken advantage of, making it hard to disagree with the sentiment, even if the specific underlying policy (which was just ruled on by the Supreme Court) is controversial or legally flawed.
* Evasion (Pivoting): While responding to a Supreme Court ruling (which presumably struck down or limited the tariffs), the statement completely avoids addressing the actual legal or constitutional reasons for the SCOTUS decision. Instead of engaging with the facts of the ruling, it immediately pivots to “identifying other paths.” Rhetorically, this downplays a potential defeat by reframing it merely as a temporary obstacle.
In essence, this is a classic political spin statement: it glosses over the specifics of a legal setback by doubling down on the emotionally appealing goals of the original policy.

Heh. I just wrote the same thing, only with fewer words: “What an asshole.”

Congressman Mark Alford AKA Anchorman. I would like an answer to this question please: Who pays for the tariffs that Trump has implemented? Please tell me? Explain who pay’s tarrifs like your explaining it to a middle schooler. I’d like to see your answer.
This is an open question to a sitting member of congress that I’d like to hear you answer in a public forum. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Why do they still not understand that the price of the tariffs is paid by the companies in our country and passed on to the consumers IN OUR COUNTRY!!!! Sheesh! And as I said before, you Mr. Alford, are a fool!

Congressman Mark Alford The constitution is clear: it’s YOUR JOB to levy taxes, not the President’s job.
By supporting his illegal maneuver, you are violating your oath.
Do better. Also, make the rich pay their fair share before levying taxes on lower and middle class folks. We will not stand for another round of taxes on imports.
Our trade deficit is higher than ever, our currency is plummeting, and our debt is skyrocketing. You call that a good thing?
Get bent.

Tariffs are taxes on American taxpayers.

Oh, here’s one. Maybe Congress could set tariffs…. like the Framer’s intended in the Constitution. If Congress would start doing its job we wouldn’t have to rely on the Supreme Court to check the Executive Branch all the time. After paying thousands to cover Donald Trump’s illegal tariffs and not being rich enough to benefit from his tax cuts (or among the suckers he’s trying to buy off by exempting a fraction of their income–while driving up the costs of the consumer goods they purchase)… I’d appreciate a Congressman who represented my interests instead of Donald Trump’s.

The President’s response was an across the board tax increase of 10% on hard working Americans importing or consuming imported goods.
Do you support this tax increase?

When do we get our $1000 back?

Tariffs = Higher Costs for the Average American and that is a Fact, it’s always been a Fact, you can’t spin this any other way .

When you don’t have a label identifying you as a doormat.

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

They were illegal from the start. You should know that being a member of congress 🤡

Congressman Mark Alford the SCOTUS decision is about law and the constitution, something you don’t seem to understand or care about.

How do you still have a job?

Are you really still asking us to believe that tariffs are not a tax on the American people, and that other countries are the ones paying the tariffs, not us?????

Trump: “I can do anything I want to do to them … I’m allowed to destroy the country.”
Alford springs to his feet in applause and shouts please sir may I help.

Do you know how tariffs work, Mark? I truly don’t think you know how anything works.

Hey Missouri 04 constituents, your elected representative supports increase in taxes on you the consumer, you the small business owner. Vote him out in November.

So. In other words you fully support Trump even to the extent of harming your constituents with illegal “sales taxes”. Coffee is 50% higher than it was a year ago, with fewer ounces per canister. Our farmers have lost essential trading partners. Your “Liberation Day” cheering was a huge mistake, and after the SUPREME court made a correct and well considered ruling, you just want to double down. Read the ruling again, and think carefully before you agree to further taxation of your constituents. How about making a plan to give us all a refund of those illegal tarriffs instead. It’s time congressional GOP take on the responsibilties assigned to you in the Constitution. That is where your loyalty belongs, not to the bully wanna be king in the White House.

Of course Alford backs Trump. National sales tax. Regressive. And stupid. The congressman is not a genius. Glib, but glibness does not imply intelligence.

You’re such an ass kisser

So you’re ok with the middle class picking up the bill for billionaires? God, November can’t come soon enough. You gotta go.

You’re an idiot

Ah, yes. The America Alone strategy. You propaganda hacks obviously have not understood that other countries already are diverting away from doing trade with the US. Welcome to reality. You are making the country poorer.

Maybe you should take an economics class, so you learn how tariffs work! In fact maybe you should take a Constitution class so you learn how the government works too, since you are clueless on both fronts.

“I fully support an authoritarian president unilaterally imposing massive new taxes on American citizens with no real rhyme or reason and no approval from congress.”
– A batshit crazy statement no Republican would have ever made prior to the party being taken over by the MAGA crazies.

A non-staement. Typical. Find new ways to hurt your constituents and the economy.

Looks like you’re on the wrong side of history. See you at the midterms.

You are literally fighting for Trump over Missouri farmers.

“….If you tie a judicial warrant to what ICE is doing, it will never happen….”

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Rep. Mark Alford: “If you tie a judicial warrant to what ICE is doing, it will never happen”
[….]

1:40 PM · Feb 16, 2026

Some of the responses:

Representative Alford has become an accessory after the fact.

That darn pesky Constitution. It’s almost like it was designed and amended to protect rights and freedoms.

This is like OpenAI saying they can’t make money if they can’t steal.

Another “constitutional conservative” who stopped reading after the Second Amendment

And yet somehow the Obama and Biden administrations were able to make it work. 🤔

Literally making the point he’s missing. That’s pretty talented.

It still staggers me that an American legislator — you know, one of the dudes and dudettes who take the oath to protect and defend the Constitution — just say this sort of heresy on air. ICE’s mission is incompatible with the Constitution. Huh, what’s the “Supreme law of the land “?

Somebody needs to give this guy a copy of the Constitution, with the 4th amendment highlighted.

Hey Alford! Don’t like the need for judicially-authorized warrants based on probable cause for searches & seizures? Take it up with the drafters of the 4th Amendment. Or try to repeal it & see where THAT gets you. What a f’ing moron. Seriously, this comment is disqualifying.

Exhibit #5,464,356, your Honor. In the People vs. The Fascist Regime

So, in plain English, your goal is to break the law.

He is SO CLOSE to figuring this out.

If you tie the Constitution to it, it will be unconstitutional

They seem utterly incapable of grasping the implications of what they’re saying.

“Yeah, that old Bill of Rights just keeps getting in the way of our authoritarianism.”

Then it shouldn’t happen.

This is only complicated because people like this dickbag insist on being fascist fucks.

Maybe Mark Alford should tell us how he’d feel if federal officers kicked down his front door on their own volition just because someone said he was harboring in his house anyone the govt. wanted…even citizens who committed crimes, He disagrees with the 4th amendment? (freedom from illegal searches)

“allegations of abuse of these warrants”? We watched them kick in the door of an elderly man and drag him out in his underwear. They didn’t even have a warrant. These passive voiced questions are bs.

How he qualified, “lied about, an American citizen…”
“Different quarterback”? So it is a game

Once they’ve accustomed us to “no judicial warrants cuz they’s furriners,” it’ll be easier for them to get us to accept no judicial warrants cuz they’s, oh, whatever group is out of favor today, furrin or not.

They’ve talked themselves into this. Now their focus is talking US into it.

One might argue that it should not be happening if it cannot happen within the rule of law.

If it cannot comply with the rule of law, it is an illegal action.

The ‘duh’ is silent by heavily implied.

It’s literally in the fucking constitution.

That means it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

This isn’t difficult to understand, even for this lil guy.

“It” here means: breaking the law and violating the constitution, so yeah…. Sounds good.

The Founders are rolling over in their graves.

So he’s saying their cases are such BS they couldn’t meet the requirements to get a real warrant? And instead of requiring them to meet the minimal Constitutional standard, he just wants to let them have at it, Constitution be damned? Huh.

He isn’t making the statement that he thinks he is.

How very fascist.

“If we can’t do illegal shit we won’t be able to do the shit we’re doing” is a really weird defense.

So judicial warrants (which have been required for a long time and I’m fairly certain follow the laws of the Constitution) are too much trouble to get???

WTF???

In the clip, Alford says that no ICE agents lied about a shooting involving an American citizen, just about a Venezuelan. That is completely false as ICE agents lied about the situation around the shooting of American citizen Marimar Martinez.
[….]

When your best argument is “judges wouldn’t allow us to violate people’s rights” and “they reached a (nonexistent) agreement”, you’re losing.

Alford is full of shit

Funny, I don’t recall the Fourth Amendment saying “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…unless we feel like it.”

That’s pretty the goal when you make something unconstitutional, you ignorant dipstick

Thats how the law works, fuckface.

I’ve heard better arguments from a 4 year old.

You’ll do as you’re told or Tom Homan will eat your cats and dogs

We see what you did there.

It’s amazing how quickly the media has accepted violations of multiple amendments as normal. The entire GOP state media apparatus is pushing this absurdity.

They can be putting immigrants in ovens and the media would still refuse to push back.

Fuck them all. Burn them all to the fucking ground.

Yeah, that’s the point of the fucking constitution! Ever heard of it?

This morning:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 13, 2026]

This Black History Month, we had a great visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum—the world’s only museum dedicated to recognizing the tremendous contributions of African Americans in professional baseball. ⚾️
[….]

Some of the responses:

Where is any of the staff? I have visited several times always a diverse crowd.

I was gonna say….

why are there four white guys in that picture

Taking a picture at NLBM with 4 white guys is peak irony. #magmdei 🤣

I was thinking the same thing. 😂 Laughable.

Performative. Everyone can see right through it.

Will the rump administration try to censure this museum’s exhibits like the numerous other ones it has deemed unacceptable??

You mean photo op of old white men

Not 1 Black man in sight..🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Isn’t that a risky place for you to be. Team Klan … I mean Team Trump may think you’re going woke

Heh.

Did you learn ANYTHING??

Dayam.

Field trip #137, more tax dollars for Alford’s meals, gas allowance, etc.
Tell me how this helps the people of Missouri, your constituents. Just a group of white guys acting like they’re being supportive — kind of like when your silly ass posts a religious verse on Sundays (or Saturday, if you don’t want to post on Sunday).
P.S. Don’t forget to share a picture with your wife, some roses, and let us all know how much you love her, and that she’s your rock. Can’t wait……….

=====

We could have a black history day that we don’t need a whole month of black history or a whole month of gay pride. If you wanna have a whole month of something, let’s have a whole month for our Veterans

there is a whole month for veterans

=====

Congressman Mark Alford: Visited the museum twice within 30 days. Why? You support a racist President. Since you do, it makes you one.

As he votes to fund DHS and concentration camps. Bad enough being a racist and a Nazi Mark but a hypocrite too.

Ey bro… Respectfully, on behalf of the black Missourians who feel about u as i do (a vast majority) FUCK U! Respectfully, the bullshit u support harms the black community. Respectfully, u don’t get to use my whole community as a token. Respectfully, go find some self hating, KOONta Kinte (the opposite of the great Roots character Kunta Kinte), shuckin and jivin, double minstrel, oppression loving black person to be ur token.

Was this before or after you voted to pass the SAVE Act and hoped to disenfranchise working class voters?
Your hypocrisy is showing!

Great museum! Terrible representative!

You will exploit anything for votes.

Burn in hell alford

We cannot hear you over THE SOUND OF DONALD TRUMP’S GUILT.

Dayam.

How hypocritical of you. You stood by and did nothing while MO reps gerrymandered the maps duluting their representation. Funny how you go on a field trip to the Negro Baseball Musuem but only post photos of old white men. They should have never even let you in the doors. Counting the days till you are replaced.

4 white racists trying to show they aren’t racist.

Be careful your 🍊cult leader doesn’t approve

House GOP launches Bad Bunny probe: ‘Worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction’
by David Edwards
February 10, 2026 9:57AM ET

Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) revealed that House Republicans are “investigating” Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show….

[….]

“We are still investigating this. There’s a lot of information that has come out about the lyrics,” Alford said. “I saw the halftime show, and we’re switching back and forth with the TPUSA halftime show. They, the lyrics from what we have seen, from Bad Bunny are very disturbing.”

“And if it holds true that the, you know, I don’t speak fluent Spanish, okay?” he continued. “These lyrics, if it is true, what was said on national television, we have a lot of questions for the… entities that broadcast this, and we’ll be talking with Brendan Carr from the FCC about this.”

“But this is, this could be much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Let’s put it that way.”

Clown.

Catherine Rampell ‪@crampell.bsky.social‬

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are “investigating” Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn’t watch the whole thing & also doesn’t know Spanish but suspects it might have been “much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction”

Some of the comments:

LooooooooooL

These people are clowns.

And they are straight up clowning their constituents.

A bunch of culture war morons.

In other news he also plans to get to the bottom of those Louie Louie lyrics.

Also if you play Bad Bunny backwards you can clearly hear him invoke Satan.

What a bunch of pathetic, butthurt idiots. How about they investigate Kid Rock’s lyrics and his inability to mime?

Congressional governance has devolved into bad theater. Nothing of substance, nothing important. Just political buskers, doing their outrage hustle for corporate donations.

It’s fucking PATHETIC.

Can someone please ask him how much this investigation will cost the tax payers, and what is the legislative purpose? Just a simple reminder that his job is not to produce sound bites.

Does he mean they’re watching it over and over again? Meanwhile Caligula lives in the White House.

They talk like it has to be decoded like the Enigma machine

What do they “suspect” he said? No one they know speaks Spanish?

“Chinga La Migra”

So they are complaining about lyrics that they cannot define but insist cannot be said in English?

These racist Republicans are dumb as rocks.

Well we certainly don’t want to be worse than the “Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction”. We especially don’t want Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction in Spanish

Who are these people?

“…You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”

This is what the folks in Congress do with the small amount of time they spend doing their job. I’m fairly certain constituents would prefer they work on more pressing matters, such as healthcare, job creation, immigration reform, affordable housing, almost anything else but this.

[….] watching these four confused morons try to fabricate potentially nefarious actions committed, simply because they didn’t understand the language being spoken is low key hilarious.

Of course he is from Missouri…..

Just when we thought things couldn’t get dumber…

WTF are they gonna “investigate”? How severe their poor feefees were hurt.

Didn’t watch it. Didn’t understand it. I hope he can somehow overcome his horror at what happened. Perhaps therapy or a long walk in the woods.

There’s no fixing this level of stupid.🤡

It’s too bad there’s no way to ever figure out what someone said in Spanish.

We didn’t understand them but we are really offended by the lyrics.

Oh for the love of God. They’re RIDICULOUS

“El pueblo no aguanta má’ injusticia’
Se cansó de tus mentira’ y de que manipulen las noticia'”
– B.Bunny

Another “I didn’t watch it but I hear it was a message of unity so I will spend taxpayer money to discredit it.”

Is this your guy Alford?

Young ladies, young ladies
I like ’em underage, see
Some say that’s statutory
But I say it’s mandatory

– Kid Rock lyrics to Cool, Daddy Cool

The unabashed racism truly is something to behold

These are extremely unserious people who are deeply disturbed.
Also remember that every accusation from these folks is either a projection or a confession.
I wonder what Mr. Alford does in his spare time?

As Bugs Bunny says “What a maroon”.
