This morning (and nothing later):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Beautiful snowy morning in southwest Missouri
[….]
8:25 AM · Jan 3, 2021

It went downhill from there.

Some of the comments:

With just a hint of sedition in the air?

You’re staying at your sisters house?

You’re assuming she didn’t just text him the photo.

You’re assuming that’s even MO

Missouri is nice. You should go there sometime.

Ouch. that one left a mark.

Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it.

The novelty of being in Missouri is sufficient for Virginia-based Thirsty McScapegoatFace to tweet a picture of a snowy lawn.

He didn’t actually say he was here (in Mo), I bet his parents or a MAGA sent him the picture and he tweeted to give the impression he was actually here.

Of course. They always subcontract the menial tasks.

If you’ve already gone through your Netflix-watching list Senator, I have a very entertaining hour-long audiotape I can recommend.

Right. That snow picture isn’t nearly as cold as your political career

Ouch.

Missouri has heard the tapes Josh, if you want a political future it’s past time to cut your losses. Your peer group is figuring this out.

Imagine believing Folksyjeans was ever in Missouri long enough to take a picture.

Who sent you this pic? You don’t live in the state you represent.

That snow has more integrity and depth than you.

Nice try! Zero percent chance you’re actually here.

Who took that for you?

Beautiful snowy day here in Tampa, too. Apparently Josh too busy watching Sunday cartoons to realize he’s about to pop over the cliff like road runner, oops, orange Covidiot after that audio.

Anything else going on you should comment on? Forecast has a high likelihood of sedition over the next few days. Especially in D.C. where you actually live.

Hey are you going to help trump find 11,800 votes like he asked the Georgia Secretary? Still planning to commit treason this week?

You must have been watching the Weather channel to know it’s snowed in Missouri from your Million Dollar Home in Virgina.

You know what even more beautiful? That taped conversation between Trump and the GA Secretary of State.

Local Virginia man shares photo from another state

Awwww…snow. That’s nice…you know what else is nice? Not having a president trying to shakedown a state AG to commit election fraud on his behalf. With the specific amount of votes. That’s nice too. But you seem to agree with that sort of blatant criminal activity, don’t you?

Silent on the attempt to overthrow a legitimate election by the president of the United States? Silent on his threat of violence to an elected official? Silent on the sedition in progress right now? Beautiful snowy morning can’t cover all that!

Your sister’s yard looks amazing. How’s northern VA?

You think there might be 11,780 Georgia votes under that snow? You know, if you don’t look, that’s a criminal offense. And you can’t let that happen. You’re taking a big risk by not looking under that snow for those votes. It’s going to be very costly, in many ways.

Good weather for sedition.

And on and on…

“Sedition. Without his sedition, his power would be as shaky as… as an opportunistic Fascist in the Senate!”

18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Today:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
It’s time to STAND UP
11:45 AM · Jan 2, 2021

Fascist pig.

“A Fascist in the Senate. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little state of Missouri,
you would say every one of us is represented by a grifter and a Fascist who lives in Virginia,
trying to grift and climb a ladder with other people’s money without losing an election. It isn’t easy.
You may ask, how does he stay up there if it’s so tenuous?
He stays because Missourians vote for him… And how does he keep his seat?
That I can tell you in one word… Sedition.”

“Sedition, sedition… sedition.”

A few of the responses:

And acknowledge that Biden/Harris won.

Sit down, josh.

Sedition is a felony. Remember that.

Stand up for trying to corrupt a certified election? Sit down!

Josh is willing to throw out whatever integrity he had just to please Donald and the MAGA cult. And he’s not doing this for any other reason than to further his own political ambitions. It’s all so obvious and embarrassing.

Don’t you mean climb up?

It’s time to RESIGN

This is a funny way of saying “KNEEL BEFORE A WOUNDED NARCISSIST WHO WON’T ADMIT HE LOST!”

Traitor embarrassing America to the world so you can con your supporters out of their money and push to install an authoritarian system in America. Disgusting! You should not be allowed to take the oath to defend the constitution because it’s a lie

Oh my god, I can’t imagine what it must be like to be capable of falling for this

Do the people of Missouri know you are only doing this so you can run for president in 2024. You know there’s no evidence but you’re doing this anyway thinking your constituents are dumb enough to fall for it.

Narrator: “They are.”

Josh trying to get the last drop of blood out of the uneducated white turnip before it’s over.

Sit down, you f cking clown.

that time was on election day you seditious, opportunistic, piece of shit

Or you know, actually win the election. Cry more though.

Such a phony

Lol. This is the number one problem with the MAGA crowd. And absolute inability to reassess any choices, no matter how dumb or dangerous. Digging in is all they know how to do. It’s immature and toxic behavior on a massive scale.

Patriots don’t attempt to overthrow the government because more people voted for the other guy

It’s all beyond embarrassing and now extremely dangerous.

You watched the evidence? Come on if there was any credible evidence then the courts would not have thrown out the cases. You can’t just say there was fraud@and make it so. You have to have proof and they have produced none.

it’s time for you to sit down and be quiet.

Are you trying to incite violence?

You hate America and the constitution that bad?

Sedition, sedition… sedition.

It’s all about the money. he’s campaigning off this political theater. Hawley knows this stunt is going nowhere. He’s milking money from his constituency. Full stop

Grifter.

I think you have to say it three times while clicking your jackboots together.

Y’all lost, you seditious idiot

Hawleyism and McCarthyism will both go down in history as odious attempts by senators to destroy faith in American government to make a name for themselves. History will be no kinder to Hawley than McCarthy.

Clowns gonna clown.

It’s time to stop before you go too far.

Too late.

You can’t sit there and cry foul on the presidential election results. but stand by all the senators who won re-election this year and call their own elections valid. they were all voted for on the same ballots.

Sit down, a-hole; I’m trying to watch the Biden inauguration.

Today, as Josh Hawley (r) plays with matches:

Alex Isenstadt @politicoalex
McConnell held a conference call with Senate Republicans this morning in which he pressed Hawley multiple times to explain his plans to object to the Electoral College. McConnell was met with silence, per multiple people familiar with the call. Turns out Hawley wasn’t present
1:30 PM · Dec 31, 2020

McConnell has expressed concern that GOP senators up for re-election in ‘22 will be forced to take a vote on a seemingly pointless endeavor that will imperil them either in a general or primary election

Hawley has launched a small dollar fundraising push around his move. He sent out an email this afternoon asking donors to “stand” with him. Contributions go to Hawley’s campaign account

Why is it always about the grift?

The Ivy League vision of a flatbed truck.

Josh Hawley (r) can’t help himself:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
As Democrats have been hoping & begging for, the Commission on Presidential Debates cancelled in-person debates for the rest of campaign. Now cancel the Commission. It’s a disgrace #LetThemDebate
8:00 AM · Oct 8, 2020

Sycophants got to sycophant.

Some of the comments:

During a Kennedy-Nixon debate, each candidate was in a separate studio. Why do the debates have to be in-person? I guess because if the President can’t have it his way, he’ll take his ball and go home.

This is exactly why I left the Republican Party. The old white dudes will be gone soon enough, but the next generation of #GOP is even worse. Republicans are a party of the past – no forward thinking, no big tent. The party is about to implode & they refuse to see it.

The President (and a handful of his closest aids) contracted the coronavirus. Why on earth would you think it’s a good idea to debate in person? Uhh.

Are you serious? Trump has COVID. People who claim to be pro-life sure as hell are cavalier with the lives and health of others.

But they didn’t cancel the debate, Senator. It’s your guy who’s refusing to debate, no matter how you spin it, and he did it so fast that it looks like he’s relieved. Spin that.

Taking your ball and going home, Senator Karen?

Maybe you shoulda prayed harder.

The Commission made the correct decision here. This administration’s failure to be transparent about their positive diagnoses shows they cannot be trusted. No one should want to be near any of them right now.

You think Trump has them on the run after his tour de force performance in the first debate, huh?

Heh.

Tell us more about the “cancel culture”

Josh hasn’t heard that Trump has COVID.

Yeah, the whole “let’s not risk exposing debate teams, the crew setting up the debates, family and friends, to the coronavirus,” truly is a Dem thing.
How horrible, amiright?

He doesn’t want them to be able to cut him off and switch screens.

Do you just think COVID isn’t a thing?

I wouldn’t want to be in the same room as any soulless disease vectors either.

The president is infected with a contagious and deadly virus bc he did not follow safety guidelines that could have protected himself and others. But he feels 20 years younger bc he was injected with human embryonic stem cells. Thoughts?

Trump is the super spreader. You go stand by him and then go hug your family….is that a good idea?

Heh. Sen. Josh Hawley (r): you first, asshole (April 15, 2020)

The president still had Covid …..when was his last negative test ?

Your party, the Republican Party, is a super spreader. What did you expect?

We should defer to Hawley on this one; he’s a bit of an expert on disgraces.

Does this mean that you’ll only be appearing on Fox News if you can be in the studio?

Oooh. That one left a mark.

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

Maybe y’all need to work on the whole “Our entire party is a biohazard” thing.

Do you ever say anything worthwhile?

If the #PlaguePresident can’t infect others, what’s the point?

Josh, he has Covid, he doesn’t shut up, no one wears a mask that is connected to him, he doesn’t think the rules apply to him, he doesn’t answer questions and really is anyone undecided still?

Wait a sec – I thought y’all were against “cancel culture” #ChickenTrump

Pro-COVID fascist has objections.

Wow. Trying to out Tweet the president this morning, Josh? You gotta pick up the pace and go ALL CAPS.

When was the last time the President tested negative for Covid?

You can cancel your presidential hopes, too.
It will never happen.

Heh.

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.
[….]
11:08 AM · Jul 25, 2020

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.

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.

Donald Trump, Josh Hawley, ladder climbing, missouri, pearl clutching, social media, sycophant, Twitter

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.
