Accessed this morning, in Missouri:

Missouri DHSS web site – July 26, 2020.

Yesterday morning:

Mike Parson @mikeparson
Joe Biden is showing how out of touch he is by calling these peaceful protests.

Americans want law and order, and I support President @realDonaldTrump for making sure that our citizens are protected.

Some of the responses:

Yeah, the lady with the flowers was a REAL threat…pft

In another state.

Hey just a question have 145,000 Americans died of graffiti and fireworks or no? Maybe your guy who goes golfing every fucking weekend and said ‘it is what it is’ could show how in touch he is and ADDRESS THE PANDEMIC that is killing people.

Like when Trump tear-gassed peaceful protestors to have his crazy photo op with the bible? He took an oath to serve all Americans and he has only been a bully to anyone that doesn’t agree with him. Any president that expects total loyalty… I’d say he wants to be a dictator!

Governor, when do you plan to visit the protests to speak with your constituents about their concerns for white supremacy & systemic racism?

You’re making a lot of statements based off of what you’ve seen on Fox News and not in person.

You sound like a fascist.

Actually, Mike, how many people have been killed by protesters? The only physical violence I’ve seen is from Trump troopers gassing moms with bike helmets and dads with leaf blowers. You’re assessment is dead wrong.

Dude. This mess is TRUMP’S America we’re living in.

Looks like illegal militia and corrupt cops

THIS is what the TRUMP PRESIDENCY looks like.

Yup, someone’s gotta save us from terrorist moms.

Spend a semester in a classroom of students first, I dare you. Then get back to us and tell everyone how it worked out.

Governor Mike Parson (r) [2018 file photo].

Seriously. He doesn’t know shit from shinola.

Today from Missouri Governor Mike Parson (r), fresh from kissing Donald Trump’s (r) ass:

Mike Parson @mikeparson
It is vital that we can safely reopen schools and get children back in the classroom.

I am thankful for the leadership of the Trump Administration for meeting with state leaders today to discuss reopening schools across the country.

Some of the comments:

“leadership”
“Trump Administration”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You can’t do it safely

You’re up to your waste in you know where.
#WorstGovernorEver

So what’s your plan??? What creative ideas did T Rump and you come up with?? Can we have a few details??? Or is it just reopen the schools, figure it out amongst yourselves???

As soon as you walked out of that room, he will never remember your name or who the hell you are. Keep kissing his ass though.

You know how some people seem to achieve a position a couple levels above their capabilities? That’s you, when you were Lt Governor.

How many times are you going to post the same shit? No matter how many, you still look and sound like a moron.

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

Senator Josh Hawley wrote a letter today:

Hawley letter to Twitter – 5/27/20 [pdf]

May 27, 2020
Jack Dorsey
CEO
Twitter
1355 Market Street, Suite 900
San Francisco, CA 94103

Dear Mr. Dorsey:

Twitter’s unprecedented decision to single out the President for disfavor, based on his political speech, is alarming. Yesterday, for the first time ever, Twitter branded the President’s tweets with a “fact check” designed to encourage readers to believe that the President’s political speech was inaccurate. Twitter’s decision to editorialize regarding the content of political speech raises questions about why Twitter should continue receiving special status and special immunity from publisher liability under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

Twitter’s “fact check” raises serious questions about whether Twitter targeted the President for political reasons. Employees working for the team responsible for Twitter’s fact-checking policies have a stark history of derogatory comments against both the President and people who voted for him. For example, Twitter’s Head of Site Integrity encouraged people to “fly over” states like Missouri because Missourians supposedly “voted for a racist tangerine.” That employee also called people who work for the President “actual Nazis.”

Meanwhile, where has Twitter been in response to the outright lies and propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party and its so-called “wolf warriors,” busy blaming American soldiers for the start of COVID-19 on social media? Will Twitter also “fact check” these outrageous statements? What about other candidates for political office, like former Vice-President Joe Biden? Will Twitter editorialize regularly in response to his comments on social media? Or will Twitter only go after people its employees dislike?

Instead of allowing viewers to look at the dialogue around the President’s tweets and assess for themselves the merits of the President’s views, Twitter decided to editorialize, appending its own comments and assessment to the President’s speech. But editorializing is what publishers do, like the New York Times and the Washington Post. Your company is treated very differently from publishers, as you know. Traditional publishers are liable when they mess up. But under Section 230, Twitter receives a special government carve-out that shields it from liability. That statute tells courts to treat Twitter like a passive distributor of third-party content. Twitter’s decision to affix its own editorial content to users’ posts brings into question the basis for that immunity.

It makes little sense to treat companies that publish their editorial comments about others’ content as if they are mere distributors. Companies that act like publishers should be treated like publishers. Section 230 should not treat Twitter and neutral internet service providers in the same way when they function so differently.

Please send a prompt response by June 15 identifying the sources on which Twitter relied to decide to editorialize regarding the President’s political speech, and please explain why you think that companies that act like publishers should not be treated like publishers.

Sincerely,
Josh Hawley
U.S. Senator

Pompous ass.

“…Twitter’s ‘fact check’ raises serious questions about whether Twitter targeted the President for political reasons…”

Only a shameless, albeit not very competent, hack would characterize presenting facts as political targeting.

It’s not a serious question, that’s just your arrogance in believing the rest of us are too stupid to realize what you’re doing and who you really are.

There was much hilarity in the Twitter comments:

The man breaks every Term and Condition of use and threatens people using the service, and they _one time_ point out that he’s lying to undermine our democracy, and you call that a “war”.

Factchecking isn’t censorship.

You are worse than pathetic, Thirsty McScapegoatFace.

Dude, you are lost.

Bruh, you’re really doing this as a constitutional lawyer? LMAO. Good luck.

Identifying lies from the president isn’t censorship.

Blah Blah Blah

No censorship was done, just a link added to the actual facts @realDonaldTrump doesn’t know.

I think the war on Covid could use some of your attention. 100,000 dead and rising…

“Censorship” would be kicking him off the platform. This is called “refuting Trump’s lies”, a concept with which you’re evidently not familiar.

Kicking him off the platform is well within their rights too. Twitter is not a branch of the government. They are a corporation with a written terms of service we all sign up to. trump should have been removed a long time ago based on the TOS.

Distract, distract, distract.

Geeze Senator… Could you skip a day from being on Fox News to host a virtual town hall or something? Everyday it’s about Google, Fox, FB, Hong Kong… What about Missouri?

He doesn’t give a damn about Missourians. He is a career politician.

You mean, like a ladder climber?

@realDonaldTrump tweet was neither suppressed or prohibited. A disclaimer was added, so, not censorship.

Perhaps you could spend more time & energy working to bolster the educational quality in your state? Clearly, you are a poster child for the shortcomings of a MO education.

Actually, he attended one of those fancy ones.

You are acting malicious on purpose. If something should be considered federal offense this type of gas-lighting should be it. Censorship is suppression/prohibition of something. Trump was not prohibited (unfortunately) from tweeting bs he tweets. They simply pointed to facts!

Twitter is a private corporation with the right to do what they want with its users. What you’re proposing is literal fascism.

No censorship happened – quite the opposite – free forum for him to use – but not to lie unabashedly

– he has been Tweeting non-stop – calling out his BS or giving an alternate view is not censorship – WTF ?

By all means, do that, not discuss the 100,000 dead Americans.

Censorship? Really? How about a grown ass man being responsible for his words?

Of course you are. Grandstanding for Trump, not Missourians.

You are so embarrassing to MO

How do people with such a profound lack of understanding, or such obvious willingness to lie about their understanding of what “censorship” really is, have the balls to go on TV and proclaim their disingenuousness? It must be utter stupidity or zero shame, I guess. Or both.

Partisan hack is too afraid to venture outside the Fox News bubble. Worthless…just like his leader.

@realDonaldTrump if you don’t like it, don’t use it. Twitter is a company that has terms of service. If you don’t like those terms of service, move on. Everyone knows that you are just defecting hoping no one notices that 100,000 Americans are dead because of your stupidity.

How does this concern the state of Missouri? You’re our representative in Congress. Not Donald Trump’s.

Mr “Constitutional lawyer”. The 1st Amendment protects citizen’s free speech from government censorship. You are literally advocating for the government to violate Twitters 1A rights so the President can lie without getting his feelings hurt. Could you be more of a partisan hack?

This is fucking pathetic. You suck at being an American, Josh.

You are simply an attention whore, a clown masquerading as a senator. You care for your Missouri constitutes like trump cares for Americans: not at all. You are both motivated only by self interest, and are morally bankrupt. Resign.

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！

“…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

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.

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.”

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.
