“…the classic “legal” definition of chutzpah…a person who kills his parents and pleads for the court’s mercy on the ground of being an orphan…”

Yesterday:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
I share @realDonaldTrump’s frustration with Senate Democrats’ needless delays in confirming nominees to critical positions. There is no reason we can’t deal with these nominations faster and get these well-qualified individuals in place sooner.

You share a lot more than that with Donald Trump (r), senator.

This morning:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Hawley: It’s ‘Vitally Important’ To Open U.S. ‘As Soon As We Possibly Can’
[….]

Remaining on lockdown for year to get a vaccine ‘is just not going to work, we can’t do that, it will end up being a humanitarian crisis and nobody wants to do that.’

10:12 AM · Apr 15, 2020

Fucking sociopath.

That’s “pro-life” for you – forty or more years of right wingnut fealty to billionaires isn’t enough. Their current profit margins are more important than lives.

As usual, many of the responses are priceless:

That will only happen with fast testing that is available everywhere. When will that happen? How have the Chinese prevented the debacle with testing? It is the Chinese fault, right?

Impatience to reopen will cost lives and hurt the economy. As much as we wish we could go back to normal, doing so before it’s safe will just start the cycle all over again, hurting the economy more.

Be patient.

Some people still cling to the belief that being polite to an idiot will get them somewhere.

And if we had tests, we could. We’d know who actually has the virus, including asymptomatic carriers.

It’s almost as though the Powers That Be want chaos. Sort of like that 2016 interview with Trump….

Wish we could but #GOP bungled response and made the problem worse.

Psycho

That, too.

Respectfully -will your kids go back to public school or daycare? Will your parents be out grocery shopping? Will your wife resume workouts at a local gym? Will your family go back to church and eat out on Sundays? We need credible examples on what to do.

Wine shopping online.

If we “open the U.S.” too soon, the humanitarian crisis is going to be even worse. Business will temporarily be booming, while people die in droves and end up closing down business for lack of live workers and customers.

Haven’t you been paying attention?

No. This has been another episode of short answers to simple questions.

I’ll go with the medical professionals opinion on what “as soon as we can” means.

Remember @HawleyMO: it is unwise to remove a cast before a broken bone is fully healed.

Why do you trust #TrumpPropaganda?
Why didn’t you demand action in #December, #January, #February, #March and #MostOfApril?
Why did you do nothing, Senator @HawleyMO?
Do you hate Americans?

You know what’s important? Not fucking dying. That’s important. How many have died because they couldn’t eat in a restaurant? Y’all want to believe the Dear Leader that’s your fucking problem. I suggest y’all get together for a big group hug

Why would you care if Missourians die? You only care about your corporate donors and making your #DearLeader happy by agreeing with everything he says.

So it’s a real shame Republicans squandered so much time that could have been used getting it under control, isn’t it?

You wouldn’t be in this predicament if you had removed President Bullshit from office. With competent leadership we could have mitigated this disaster back in January. Even now @realdonaldtrump hampers our efforts at containing and treating this pandemic.

You should head on in to grocery stores and bag groceries 8 hours a day to show us how safe it is to go back to normal…lead by example

He prefers wine shopping.

Perhaps you should be more concerned with your constituents instead of your big money donors.

Killing a few retirees will help save money and help make America great again！

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

“…One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We have 15 people in this massive country and because of the fact that we went early. We went early, we could have had a lot more than that. We’re doing great. Our country is doing so great…” – Donald Trump Charleston, South Carolina Rally Transcript – February 28, 2020

Former Representative Stacey Newman (D) [2018 file photo].

Yesterday, from former Missouri State Representative Stacey Newman (D):

Hon. Stacey REFUSE TO BE SILENT Newman @staceynewman
You must be seriously joking. Trump called it a hoax! [….]
[This Tweet is unavailable.]
9:26 PM · Mar 13, 2020

Peter Kinder (r) [2015 file photo].

Former Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder (r) decided to chime in on the conversation:

Peter Kinder @PeterKinder
Your statement is a lie.
[….]
2:19 PM · Mar 14, 2020

Really? Nope. Donald Trump (r) did call it a hoax. Here’s one of the reciepts:

Hon. Stacey REFUSE TO BE SILENT Newman @staceynewman
What he actually said. And perhaps you can let your Congressman know his vote NO on the bipartisan emergency House bill last night was inhumane.
[….]
3:04 PM · Mar 14, 2020

Well, the “Former Lt. Governor of Missouri” and self-identified “Trusted conservative” owes the representative an apology. That is if he isn’t a useless sycophant and a hack.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday, on Twitter:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
This is the guy the Never Trumpers say will usher in a new era of civility?
[….]
3:09 PM · Mar 10, 2020

The responses are hilarious:

You can’t use tRump and civility in the same sentence. They just don’t compute.

Don’t you have some senatoring to do? Asking as a voting Missourian.

Indeed. There is no greater act of political courage and civility than sternly rebuking those who are dividing our country by voting for candidates we don’t like. Can’t wait to cast my vote for #CivilJoe

A lot of us are more concerned about the administrations handling o f COVID-19. Not only do we care about the effects on our parents and grandparents, but also on those that can’t afford health insurance and the fact many rural hospitals have closed in MO.

He thinks pearl clutching has better optics with his base.

Just to clarify, does this mean that you don’t agree with how our current president carries himself?
If that’s the standard you’re setting, please make sure to offer your commentary on his behavior similarly.
#ShowMeConsistency

Not gonna happen.

Sycophants gotta sycophant.

Well, to be fair, your Dear Leader has set the bar pretty damned low on the whole civility thing.

And you would say Trump is more civil? You’re deaf, blind and not too smart if you really believe that. Biden is blunt, that is true. But the other guy was saying things that flat were not true. And Biden had the nerve to say so.

Shouldn’t you be more concerned about getting Covid-19 testing kits to Missouri?

It’s still a far cry from assigning a derogatory nickname and joking about grabbing married women by the pu**y, Josh. Did they teach you the saying about glass houses at your fancy private schools?

Your “guy” has said far worse about women’s bodies.

Biden played the NRA plant correctly – good for Joe

Prefect way to respond to an ignorant comment like the guy made. Common sense gun reform is not anti 2A. Joe knows not to let them frame the debate in their bullshit terms. Good on
@JoeBiden

Maybe the NRA has learned that sending their plants to Joe’s rallies doesn’t end well for them.

Give ’em hell Joe! Tell the truth on ’em and make ’em think it’s hell!*

Paraphrased from President Harry Truman

Well, Josh…your party’s leader is Trump…makes fun of the disabled, refers to other countries as $hitholes, sleeps around, 5 kids with 3 women, and also uses profanity.

Own it.

Yeah. You don’t get to talk about civility. You enabled Trump.

Everything is relative, clown.

Don’t you have work to do?!?

Indeed.

This morning:

On the desk this morning:
[….]
8:41 AM · Feb 6, 2020

And, as usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:

And around your neck (like an albatross) in November.[….]

The saddest thing is your glee. It shows a complete lack of respect for a significant portion of your constituents. This is the very definition of partisanship. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds much like the President’s respect for the law.

“Acquitted” doesn’t always mean “innocent.”

You may be ok with potus soliciting foreign help in upcoming election and withholding congressional approved aid to try and get said help, but WE THE PEOPLE are not ok with it.
#FireVicky
#CorruptGOP

Orange God will be happy you shirked your duty. #GOPtrumpSycophants

Save those! The Trump Crime Syndicate can use them as blankets in their jail cells once Daddy Don is out of office here soon.

Oh wow, it sure is impressive that a slim majority of senators, all from the president’s own party, decided against removing him from office. What an accomplishment.

Good reminder that senate republicans failed to do their jobs and uphold their pledge to be impartial jurors.

Also, in every history book…

I enjoy giving money to the strong, smart, principled lady who will take your office from you. Enjoy it while it lasts. You’ll actually have to work for that seat next time

Political fear is a strong thing!

Republicans worship a man above the constitution. Republicans are corrupt af. Don’t be like republicans. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Also from the WP (on your desk) The WH is now sending around anti-Romney talking points, including:
•Romney’s decision was unsurprising as this display of self-serving political expedience has come to define his career.
•Romney has a long history of flip-flopping.

It was a fake trial, resulting in a fake acquittal. Valueless, really. I’m voting for @LynzforCongress to get someone who understands the law.

#impeachedforever

Cult of Trump

Still IMPEACHED!

That you are proud of this is profoundly sad

A travesty. I hope you will be held accountable for the part you played.

And still guilty.

In the trash this morning…

Yes, Vicky, your tribe won. America lost.

I question your understanding of the events ma’am. You seem to be celebrating a party and president who was impeached and will remain forever impeached. Acquittal was publicly assured before the articles found their way to the Senate. This should embarrass you and the GOP.

Not surprising, when you have a fixed jury.

Good people don’t defend a bad person. You are not a good person

Vicky thinks it’s appropriate for a sitting president to use congressionally allocated aid as leverage to a coerce a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT into interfering in a US election for his benefit.

Vicky is unAmerican.

Remember, ‘Not Guilty’ is not the same as ‘Innocent’. It means the case wasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt, not that the accused didn’t do it. There just wasn’t enough evidence to warrant a conviction. And, how do you think that happened?

Uh, they refused to look at any evidence? Just spitballing here…

I can see you doing high kicks cheering on dear leader as he starts extorting more countries to meddle in our elections. But this means you get a few more farm subsidy checks! Congrats!

#ForeverImpeached. And he set a new record. The greatest bipartisan vote for conviction and removal in our history. What a winner you are kowtowing to, ya coward.

I thought the media was fake and against our dear leader?

How are you not sick of Trump’s behavior?

And you are okay with this? Why are you supporting such a vile, incompetent, hateful, lawless person? Seriously, as a constituent and business owner in your district, I am ashamed of the “leadership” in this country. It is disgraceful.

Shame on your party for doing this to America. I hope you are voted out.

This is not a good thing, Vicky. Uphold the constitution or we’ll find someone who will.

Hey Hartzler! President Trump: “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say ‘I pray for you’ when they know that that’s not so. So many people have been hurt and we can’t let that go on.”

It all depends on whose ox is being gored, eh?

Don’t be a partisan hack. Don’t be Vicky.

It’s in her nature.

[….]

Some of the responses:

Ok. Where is your proposal to protect people with pre-existing conditions?

Trumps in court right now to remove that, so Senator Joke Hawley won’t go against his party. America be damned, Hawleys gonna kiss him some orange trumpy ass. #HawleysATraitor

Get your mouth off the President’s ass and grow a backbone.

How dare you disrespect a wounded vetran. You have every right to disagree with anyone but ni right to disrespect them this is not one of you housewives reality shows stop your trash talk

Uh…

Blah Blah ….

If you want to end the “cycle of bitterness” then stop using terms like “The Dems”.

What foreign nations are you going to use for your next campaign?

…umm…the people’s priorities were that you call witnesses. You blew off our priorities, pal.

P. S. It’s galling that you say “it’s time to end this cycle” while you yourself perpetuate it.

Might want to drop a note to the #ImpeachedPresident about your *concerns* .

That would be great! Does this mean you’re going to stop trying to belittle the other side of the aisle in your tweets and host some town halls to share a vision of unity and progress with your constituents?

How do you know what the people’s priorities are when you never meet with your constituents?

Can you list my priorities? I am your constituent. Hint…you’re suing to take away one of them.

I listened to Senator Romney and I listened to you. Enough said.

And…you could have begun listening to the American people by voting to allow the witnesses that 75% of Americans were asking for. You clearly only care about listening to a certain demographic.

ROMNEY: “Were I to ignore the evidence that has been presented and disregard what I believe my oath and the constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history’s rebuke and the censor of my own conscience.”

Watch Mitt’s speech and the way he voted.
How craven you are.

I, too, wish to turn to the future of voting you out of office for this embarrassing behavior.

#sycophantsenator

I believe this will be possible when Trump is no longer dividing our nation.

You, sir, are not worthy of being in the same room with #MittRomney.

Our priorities are having a president who obeys the law and does not lie about literally everything.

We can’t rebuild if you allow our president to deconstruct our society piece by piece. He shows he really doesn’t care about us in his recent tweet saying the Chiefs were in KS!! Seriously! He doesn’t care! He is all show and no knowledge! Unfit! and you will be too!

you mean #trump’s base….. everybody else you say is the enemy

From the dude that is trying like hell to get rid of safeguards for preexisting conditions

He literally said to a reporter after a townhall, “I believe insurance companies should be able to charge more for preexisting conditions.”

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘥, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴.

And you’re in the loop…

coward

Romney made you look small.

You are trying to take away people’s ACA healthcare.

Hack.

Respectfully, eat turds, man.

So, what ladder are you going to try to climb next? Aiming to be the next #MoscowMitch?

Ok then!! How about holding town halls? With “the people”? Hahahahaha Right!!!!! It’d be nice, wouldn’t it? Oh well, maybe we could be rich lobbyists and get a meeting!!!

Coward.

I have no interest is anything you have to say…you deny the truth and therefore I can’t trust you.

Congratulations on the cover up! And thanks for letting your constituents not hear all of the evidence. Thanks for never working with us too, BTW!! Well done. I can’t wait to see what Trump will get away with next because he’s totally above the law! Wish I could be that. GFY.

I’ll remember your vote on this. You’ll never get my vote again.

ALL of the people Josh? Or just the ones whose backs you use to climb the ladder?

Come to MO and hold a town hall with your constituents…blue and red, and we shall see how true this Tweet was.

It seems treason does pay.

If you were actually listening to the American people, like you claim, you would have voted for witnesses and evidence. 75% of the American people you say you represent wanted to see witnesses…

What are you afraid of?

You couldn’t find the truth if it was water and you fell out of a boat. Resign.

You have shown clearly that your priority is not the American people. Resign you partisan hack.

are you a senator or a late night televangelist?

Are you kidding? @realDonaldTrump is the KING of bitterness@and revenge. #delusional #AliceinWonderland #VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

“people’s priorities” from one of the most notorious DARK MONEY beneficiaries of all time

a man is truly dangerous when he believes his own BULLSHIT

Mr. Hawley the state of Missouri and the people of the United States will hold you accountable for your vote. Trump is guilty and you know it. You’re not gonna tell me that you are so naive that you can’t see that for yourself. Wake up..

Your words are meaningless. You work for special interests and your own selfish political ambitions.

The people want the truth. You blocked witnesses.

Fake much? You are so transparent. You could care less about anything but your own political career. I guess you are if the Lindsey Graham school. You know the ones that would sell their mothers to stay in power. Can’t wait to vote you out

Can you imagine what we could do if we didn’t have a president that with every turn endangers are republic and the future of our country. You can ONLY imagine and that’s the problem. Shame on you #GOPCowards

Won’t happen because Republicans are allowing a criminal to forever taint our elections!! When this is said and done Trump will be more emboldened to lie and cheat! Hope you’re proud you have helped destroy democracy in this country!!!!

Dishonoring your oath and bringing more bad repute to a failing institution isn’t the way forward.

You freakin Trump toadie!

You don’t answer letters in a timely fashion, your staffers don’t answer the phone, you don’t hold town halls. You are all that the Republican Party represents: Bullshit, Gaslighting, and Mediocrity.
Resign!

You don’t know what the people’s priorities are.

You put party before country and made it easier for future presidents to abuse their power. Shame on you

You know what would help end the cycle of bitterness & payback? Actual consequences for lawbreaking. Rule of law. Concern about the Constitution.

Sweeping crime and corruption under the rug because it was done by _your_ asshole isn’t a road to reconciliation.

Senator, for too long the GOP has played nice with the opposition. Now, we have a coup de etat on our hands, Bolsheviks as serious presidential contenders, and a violent Brownshirt wing of the democrat party. I think the gloves need to come off.

Ooh, a Fascist.

It’s time to shut the fuck up, Joke Hawley, because you don’t listen to the American People. Why in the fuck do we need to hear the bullshit coming out of your mouth? #GOPBetrayedAmerica #Traitor #HawleysLyingAgain

You’re a complete asslicking idiot, eat shit!

Fuck off.

Hard to rebuild our great national life together when your party likes to do crime-ing and obstructing. Hard to rebuild when your Dear Leader elevates a racist blowhard over a Tuskegee Airman at the SOTU. Hard to rebuild when you’re up the president’s ass as much as you are

You are a slack-jawed, spineless, gutless coward.

You utter coward.

Eff you, pig!

The people’s priorities were hearing the witnesses, you sniveling little sycophant.

Not a particularly strong group of ringing endorsements, eh.

“…A Fascist kakistocracy, if you can keep it.”

He’s “disappointed”?:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
I am disappointed we were not able to vote to acquit @realDonaldTrump tonight – but I look forward to casting that vote next week, and ending this bitter, partisan circus
7:06 PM · Jan 31, 2020

Says the partisan hack and sycophant who can’t be bothered to hear witnesses.

It’s so cute that the junior senator from Missouri thinks it’s over.

Some of the comments:

Just think about all the times you get to go on Fox and talk about how pressuring an ally to investigate a political opponent and withholding crucial information and witnesses are not an impeachable offense. After all, if the President does it, it’s not impeachable.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Impeached forever. No exoneration. The Dems should impeach him again on new charges.

Imagine hitching your wagon to Donald Trump (r) and believing he won’t do the same shit, eh Josh?

Voting for ending free, fair elections so Donald Trump can select himself president like Vladimir Putin does.
Sounds like you expect a patronage position as an American Oligarch out of the deal to vote for acquittal.

I believe your side has the elephants and the clowns.

Your party wants to do it Soviet style – pre determined outcome, attained with no witnesses or evidence. Not one scrap of paper. That does not exonerate DT – he is impeached forever.

In similar fashion, we’re disappointed in you.

To put it mildly.

You also refused to hear all the evidence. I think that’s sad for a former attorney general. Or anyone for that matter.

I’m completely disappointed that I even voted for you. #HawleyHidesTheTruth

It’s only partisan because you choose to be complicit instead of honoring your oath of office

I’m disappointed that you’re my senator. You have abandoned the constitution and your nation in your furvor to acquire more power for your party at the expense of this country and your dignity.

So disappointed you weren’t able to legalize bribery and obstruction?

The only reason it was partisan was because one side decided to double down on the cover up.

You violated your oath of office. Plain & simple.

i am so disappointed someone in your position isn’t taking this extra time reviewing the materials presented to them and seriously, IMPARTIALLY coming to a conclusion they keep to themselves until voting
#RIPAmerica #RIPGOP

You’ll never actually be able to acquit because you never actually held a trial. You just let him off like good puppets.

Although you’ll vote for acquittal, he’s guilty and you all know it.

Again, I ask; how did it feel to recite the pledge of allegiance, only to turn around and shred the Constitution?
The circus is nothing compared to the crimes that will come to light. We will not forget. History will revile you, toady.

Well, okay, the first one is a little poem written for children by a socialist minister in the early 1890s, the other is the governing document of the United States of America and is apparently no longer operative.

Look at that!

We have a Senator from Missouri showing he has no intentions of being an impartial juror.

Too bad his seat isn’t up until 2024.

Yes you would take joy in acquitting a criminal and not listening to the people who pay your salary.
@GOP knows trump should be impeached and removed. 75% of Americans know how a trial is supposed to work!
@GOP do not want the American People to hear from witnesses! #GOPCowards

What was your soul worth?

I’ve lost all respect for that darn GOP
And it’s not just because we so rarely agree
It’s their lies and deceit
How they shamelessly cheat
That’s distasteful, disgraceful, disgusting to me

Can’t aquit with a sham trial. 80% wanted witnesses. Only little people have to follow the law.

I’m embarrassed to be represented by you.

The democrats just don’t get it do they? They cannot accept election results unless they win and when they don’t we’re going to have continuous temper tantrums because they didn’t get their way.

Projection doesn’t just happen in movie theaters.

We appreciate that you support President @realDonaldTrump, it’s painful to see this disgusting trial go on another day. Hasn’t he been put through enough?

And, wait for it:

No

Gives you plenty of time to shine his shoes.

Problematic if you can’t tell shit from Shinola.

You mean you look forward to licking the boots of a corrupt dictator as you abandon any pretense of working for anyone but him. And the Kremlin.

Okay, not Shinola.

The American people are disappointed in you and the 50 other senators that are perpetrating a cover up. What kind of trial doesn’t have witnesses and documents? You are proving just how corrupt our government is and how much of a need there is for us to rise up against it.

tRump is IMPEACHED for life, even if he is acquitted in the Senate. He will still go down is history as being impeached. As @MickMulvaneyOMB would say “Get over it”.
#GOPCowards

We at least still got the victory knowing he will be acquitted.

“Knowing,” as in pre-ordained? How extra-constitutional. [see also: Pyrrhic]

With all due respect…you might be watching alternative news too much.

I understand your hurry. After all, the truth might come out.

The bitterness will not end with your gift to Putin and transnational crime, I guarantee you that.

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

I look forward to your next chapter in life when you’re voted out of the senate….

Partisan?!The majority of THE PEOPLE would like to hear witnesses.Have this be a true trial.Not the us vs them crap that you and other sycophants are parroting to save your rears.Wholly unbelievable.History won’t be kind to you Josh.The damage will be irreparable.#RIPAmerica

You and your Impeached Leader, enjoy it while you can. Tick, Tock.

If you think Trump’s troubles will end just because 51 sycophants and scaredy-cats cast a vote, think again

53, actually.

I can’t believe ANYONE agreed to leave this Trial open while the Democrats, as they are admitting, want more witnesses and to continue digging. 49 / 51

That is absolutely outragous!

#WeThePeople want you ALL too Get Back to WORK!

That’s so cute. They think that #MoscowMitch keeps the U.S. Senate working.

Its what will happen this week that concerns me.

Well, we are talking about Donald Trump (r) here.

Like it or not – you’re still an irrelevant nobody and no matter how much you kiss Trump’s behind you can bet he’d throw you under the bus in a minute.

Well, we are talking about Donald Trump (r) here.

Let’s hope, Senator Hawley, that you’ll do your part to end the partisan behavior. That means you’ll have to seek common ground and find compromises.

What color is the sky in their world?

If only there was a way you could have made it non-partisan, like actually listening to witnesses, looking at evidence and DOING YOUR DAMNED JOB.

Do you think, like Senator Alexander, that Trump did what Schiff said, but it wasn’t impeachable? Or do you think Trump’s call was perfect?

We could ask, if Josh Hawley (r) ever held open public town halls in Missouri.

Josh doesn’t think. At least not for himself.

He proved he’s just another GOP hack this week.

#GOPCorruptionOverCountry

I’m disappointed to see the GOP continue to put party over country, constituents, and Constitution. The corrupt must be very deep and very wide. #ShamTrial #TruthMattersRightMatters

Follow the money.

Rush to judgement to decide without even considering all the evidence, witnesses. What a shameful exercise.
#SenateGOPCoverup

I could not be more embarrassed of my elected senators right now. Cowards, both of you. This is a fake trial and there will be a fake acquittal.

He may be acquitted in a few days, but he’ll never be exonerated.

This tweet won’t age well. You’ll see it again at election time.

Frame that, and put it up on your wall.

This tweet will come back to haunt you. Get ready. And yeah, history has its eyes on you. So do millions of thoughtful, thinking people everywhere. Craven sycophancy isn’t a good look; nor is shredding the Constitution.

Donnie was impeached…forever and lost the popular vote. You went against the American public too, we wanted witnesses (if just one could have cleared Donnie we would have seen them=this means YOU know he is guilty and don’t care)

Well, at least this gives you the weekend to find a nice scepter and crown for his majesty.

This afternoon:

Trump’s lead attorney in the impeachment trial could also be a witness, according to Bolton’s book
John Haltiwanger
…Cipollone was at this meeting, the manuscript said, suggesting he witnessed Trump order a top adviser to get involved in the coordinated effort to pressure Ukraine. This raises ethical questions about whether it was appropriate for Cipollone to lead Trump’s defense in a trial pertaining to matters he’s said to have firsthand knowledge of…

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
1) Bolton is telling the truth
2) Cipollone was in the meeting
3) Cipollone is a fact witness and has misled the tribunal
4) Cipollone has violated the ABA Rules of Professionall Conduct
5) Cipollone should be disciplined by the Bar and potentially lose his bar license.

And, now:

Josh Hawley (r) on allowing witnesses: No

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Roy Blunt (r) on allowing witnesses: No

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

A trial without witnesses or documents in evidence. Really.

So their cult leader can take a victory lap before a sporting event?

Rest in peace.

Hopeless sycophant.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Last night:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
As their case unravels, today Dems gave us a tour of leftwing conspiracy theories. Schiff said @realDonaldTrump stole 2016 election, said Trump has rigged 2020, berated senators for questions he didn’t like, & repeatedly used the word “coup.” They’ve lost it. Let’s vote
9:58 PM · Jan 30, 2020

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People aren’t buying it. Some of the comments:

Josh, you aren’t fit to carry Adam Schiff’s briefcase.

I thought Adam Schiff was remarkable. You could only wish to be half the man/lawyer/Senator that he is!!!!

Ashamed of you, Senator.

I loathe the premise of you being a senator, much less one from my state.

I am ashamed that you represent me.

The American people want witnesses. You work for us. Do your job.

How can a case unravel if you can’t even bring in witnesses to assess the facts? You’re a bad lawyer and a worse senator.

this is the death by suicide of the republican party that we are witnessing. No longer can there be any respect for republicans’ stances, deplorable display! -from a voting republican.

GOP doesn’t believe in the truth or the rule of law or the constitution. A trial without witnesses is a sham. GOP dishonors our country with their cowardice. They now own all of the President’s crimes and corruption. Vote them all out.

history will record your shittiness in this crucial moment for our nation, senator.

Ridiculous Josh. You cant have a trial, especially one against a president, without witnesses or evidence. I’ll remember your actions in 2022.

You choose to be blind to the facts that show your president is deserving of removal. There is no gray area here, it’s right versus wrong and you know it. We won’t forget this betrayal to the Constitution and the people you represent. #OneTermJosh

You’re the dishonest one, Josh. This constituent will not forget your shameful behavior. I’m only sad that I have to wait so long before I can vote against you

The White House ignored all the subpoenas and obstructed Congress
Please do your job!

Josh sit down

It’s in his nature.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Around 3/4 of Americans think that you should hear from witnesses at this trial. Do your job.

Josh equates the oath he took to some graffiti near a bar urinal

COWARD.

I don’t think it would be humanly possible for someone to suck as much as you do Josh.

Senate Republicans will be remembered for continuing Trump’s obstruction in admitting no documents or evidence.

Their case was fine. The final nail in the country’s coffin was when Senator Alexander admitted they proved their case without the need for witnesses but that being completely corrupt and tampering with elections is now ok. The case was airtight; our country’s soul was leaking.

Hack.

Cool story, bro. Needs more dragons and shit.

The coup is trump’s, he has hijacked the Constitution. I am so ashamed of you.

The first senate trial with no witnesses. Sham.

Your legacy is sealed and it is not good.

Quisling says what?

Apparently, you don’t even acknowledge letters, phone calls, and replies to your tweets, demanding witnesses and a fair trial.

You’re only performing for the audience of one, Trump, by tagging him in your tweets.

There’s that.

And Josh Hawley gives us a tour of the GOP-issued talking points that show the GOP coverup.

GOP is now totally the party of grifters and corruption.

Josh, what’s it feel like to be the answer to the question, “What if Trump, but more weasel-like?”

Okay.

You’re a smug one-term Senator who has decided to be a tyrant’s accomplice.
Shame on you for supporting corruption over democracy and country.
By standing with Trump, you are committing political suicide.
The people will remember your choice.

You are a coward and I question your ability as an attorney. An attorney who doesn’t call witnesses. #OneTermJosh

“…he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…”

Heh.

Wow, you’re a full on Trumpist. Do you ever think about the harm President Trump has done to your party? Do you think your party will be able to survive after the cancerous Trumpism that has infected every level of it?

They have a lot of money.

Bolton says he has relevant info

Republicans have decried lack of witnesses

Why have your balls shrunk so quickly?

We don’t have a photo for that.

What’s it like to be a complete moron every day?

Heh. Maroon.

How is abusing presidential power to get a foreign country to make up fake investigations not rigging an election?

How is lying to the American people about illegal Russian election interference *in the middle of an election* acceptable conduct by a president?

Their case didn’t unravel, you and the rest of the Republicans simply decided you are happy with a president seeking foreign interference in our elections.

Coward

What an insult to your voters that you think they are dumb enough to fall for this brazen lie

“ A civilization is not destroyed by wicked by wicked people. It is not necessary that they be wicked, only that they be spineless.” The current GOP whose historical legacy will be trash. You did your country no good service.#VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

No, wicked people are doing their part.

You’re a lawyer???

That’s what we thought. “…he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…”

You’re too stupid to understand, Josh. But you’re right about voting, at least. Voters will have quite a lot to say.

You are such an incredibly poor excuse for an elected official. You’ve completely given up your country to protect your dear leader. How are you going explain this to your children?

Your constituents can see how fake you are and we will work harder than ever to ensure you don’t get a senate seat again. Your lack of values and integrity will haunt you.

You’re a hack. Pander on, #senatorflatbed

Voters remember.

The Ivy League vision of a flatbed truck.

The current Republican senators are a disgrace to what the Republican party is supposed to be. You have driven hundreds of thousands of people away from the party. You will find out in November that you have destroyed the Republican party..

The case didn’t unravel. You are covering for a corrupt president and there are many of us in Missouri that won’t forget your cowardice and lack of impartiality in this process.
