The Biden Crime family web is unraveling. And President Biden is the black widow in the middle of it all!!!
[….]
Clown.
Some of the responses:
Sure. Good luck.
This can’t be ignored like the Hillary debacle. Impeachment proceedings followed by criminal charges needs to happen
Hillary was the principal of 7 House and Senate investigations.
What did they find, again?
is that a serious question?? Lol
Seriously, what were the findings?
that you KNOW exactly what was found but the Rino Republicans who had their hands in the same cookie jar wouldn’t do anything about it
Okay
Americans deserve to know the truth and Republicans need to follow through full speed ahead to expose all the corruption!!
time it so the verdict comes in Oct of next year
Accountability!
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.
Mark, don’t you believe others are really controlling all actions and speech coming from this (puppet) president?? Yes, he needs to be held accountable for his crimes. But, isn’t there way too much credit is given to him for all the evil and destructive administrative decisions and actions coming from those “pulling his strings”? Just an observation.
Obama, Clinton’s , George what’s his name and others.
#Follow the money
What’s his name and others? WTF?
just trying to focus on the massive current attention to Biden that distracts away from those who may be really in charge and exerting power in the here and now.
You are sooo right. The layers of this onion are thick
If Biden is removed, what then puppet Harris or in 2024 Michele Obama?
We want the truth mark!!!!! Stay after them!!!!!!
if Republicans are involved that’s not likely going to happen. All the time, resources and millions of dollars wasted on Hillary and the Bengazhi investigations is proof of that…
kinda like the Mueller report and all the other Trump investigations.
It is time this web is untangled and the whole bunch of them are held accountable including criminal charges
So is The Doctor she’s apart of it. More then you think.
Jared and Ivanka made about 250,000,000 dollars while serving as White House advisors.
In case you need to be refreshed on Hunter’s government stipend?
Zero dollars.
the difference is that both Jared and Ivanka have businesses. Legitimate businesses that had income before and after the WH. The Biden’s have no business whatsoever. The only business they evidently have, is the business of selling policy.
Someone should tell him.
but Hunter got plenty of money from China and Ukraine to spend on crack and hookers.
Sounds like the American dream in Ohio.
A private citizen. Ivanka and Jared actually worked in the White House. Big difference.
if you say so.
Joe Biden is the tip of the iceberg. Why do you think Trump was impeached the first time? Ukraine is corruption center. The uniparty has been feeding there for years. The cartels launder money there and pay their protection money to the globalists. They wanted Trump out because he was apt to find them out as he did.
“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.
$250 million? Please send me your references.
From CREW:
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House, according to an analysis of financial disclosures by CREW. It is impossible to tell the exact amount as the income is sometimes reported in broad ranges and cover four months of income before Ivanka Trump officially joined her father’s administration and nearly one month before Jared Kushner joined.
[….]
But will it really matter? So far we have a media blackout and an all out assault from the left.
Nothing personal but I see just more GOP blustering. What about the 18 reps from Biden areas. Will they go along with this?
Hopefully something can finally happen. The crooked democrats seem to always get away with everything and nothing ever happens to them. Good luck Mark!
It’s about time it unravels !
You picked a heck of a time to get in
this isn’t business as usual our country is at stake Kevin is not to be trusted Don’t come home stay in DC for the 6 weeks you know Kevin’s going to be doing back door meetings these are serious times defund Ukraine use the power of the purse
The Biden Crime Family is as crooked as they come. They make Tom Pendergast look like a saint.
Kevin McCarthy has already said, they would impeach Biden as retribution for Trump. When is this tit for tat crap going to stop? Americans need you guys to take care of business for the country. There are so many things that need attention and all any of you are doing is trying to make the other party look worse than you do. Do something about Immigration reform. That is something Congress can do but they’d rather leave it broken so they can blame the opposing party. It’s all a game to you guys. This all started before Trump was president. It’s been going on since Bill Clinton was in office. Just Stop It!
Preaching to people who don’t want to hear it and never will.
And we knew all of this before he became president. Grrrr
From the BBC:
[….]
Trump: “I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married.”
Unknown: “That’s huge news there.”
Trump: “No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn’t get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”
Bush: “Your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple.”
Multiple voices: “Whoah. Yes. Whoah.”
Bush: “Yes. The Donald has scored. Whoah my man.”
Trump: “Look at you. You are a pussy.”
Bush: “You gotta get the thumbs up.”
Trump: “Maybe it’s a different one.”
Bush: “It better not be the publicist. No, it’s, it’s her.”
Trump: “Yeah that’s her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”
Bush: “Whatever you want.”
Trump: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 11, 2023]
We can’t afford to let Communist China co-opt American institutions.
“It worries me when I see the PGA doing business with the Chinese gov’t…a gov’t that is attempting to use American institutions as a megaphone for their own totalitarian, dystopian & frankly evil policies.”
Some of the responses:
but chain saw saudis are ok… got it..
How about when farmland in the state you claim to reside in is sold to Chinese citizens? You seemed OK with that… but you live in Virginia and really don’t care…
Better start with James Comer since his committee was collaborating with a spy for the Chinese.
You colleague, Tuberville, is also weakening our military readiness.
Repugs are traitors.
China was one of the first that you identified as ‘the enemy”, along with Democrats, immigrants, teachers, the government, LGBTQIA+ people, women who do not want children or who have at-risk pregnancies, others. You sued that country and lost.. Have you investigated schmitt for his part in selling Missouri land to China. Clean up the mess in your own house before you start messing in other’s.
But Josh loves the Saudis.
They funded the attacks on 9/11.
They murdered a Washington Post American journalist.
They bribed Kushner w $2billon for…?
Yeah, the Saudis are great for America/Republicans.
Hey, talk about Jared Kushner and your orange overlord, Haulin A*s Hawley!! They’re totally in bed with the Saudis.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
WTF Josh. The PGA is now owned by the Saudis who just made a deal to enrich Trump. Get a clue Tiny Fist Man.
Then why aren’t you concerned about the PGA doing business with the Saudis?
You know, the same guys that helped fund the 9-11 attacks against America, and who kill America journalists, and who raise oil prices to hurt western countries like the US, AND who arrest Christians in Saudi Arabia for practicing their faith!
You’re not a serious elected official, you just do things for the camera. SMH
Resign, seditionist, and do so with exceeding haste.
So, Mr. “The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming!” how upset are you at your House colleagues for colluding with a Commie spy?
[….]
But Joshie … Capitalism and free markets … or only when you approve?
Run along Joshie … literally run along.

29 consecutive months of job growth, inflation steadily declining, durable goods having been up for three consecutive months, 35,000 new infrastructure projects, an extended period in which real wages exceeded inflation and outsize gains for lower wage-earners.
Economic transformation in little towns, rural areas and aging metro centers brought about by new investment in plants, infrastructure projects and green energy related to the Chips Act.
Limiting China’s access to U.S. technology that has military applications and bringing supply chains homeYellen told U.S business leaders: “I have made clear that the United States does not seek a wholesale separation of our economies. We seek to diversify, not to decouple. A decoupling of the world’s two largest economies would be destabilizing for the global economy, and it would be virtually impossible to undertake.”
Biden’s policies have wiped out a quarter of the inequality built in the previous forty. And at the same time that Biden’s resurrection of the liberal consensus of the years from 1933 to 1980 is illustrating that the economic problems in the country were the fault of Republican policies rather than of marginalized people, the extremism of those angry Republican footsoldiers is revealing that they are not the centrist Americans they have claimed to be.
The Republican embrace of Moms for Liberty illustrates dramatically and to a wide audience how radical the party itself has become, threatening to turn away all but its extremist base. A strong majority of Americans oppose book banning: about two thirds of the general population and even 51% of Republicans oppose it, recognizing that it echoes the rise of authoritarians.

Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19
Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)…Estimates of excess deaths can provide information about the burden of mortality potentially related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deaths that are directly or indirectly attributed to COVID-19. Excess deaths are typically defined as the difference between the observed numbers of deaths in specific time periods and expected numbers of deaths in the same time periods. This visualization provides weekly estimates of excess deaths by the jurisdiction in which the death occurred. Weekly counts of deaths are compared with historical trends to determine whether the number of deaths is significantly higher than expected.
Counts of deaths from all causes of death, including COVID-19, are presented. As some deaths due to COVID-19 may be assigned to other causes of deaths (for example, if COVID-19 was not diagnosed or not mentioned on the death certificate), tracking all-cause mortality can provide information about whether an excess number of deaths is observed, even when COVID-19 mortality may be undercounted. Additionally, deaths from all causes excluding COVID-19 were also estimated. Comparing these two sets of estimates — excess deaths with and without COVID-19 — can provide insight about how many excess deaths are identified as due to COVID-19, and how many excess deaths are reported as due to other causes of death. These deaths could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deaths from other causes occurring in the context of health care shortages or overburdened health care systems)…

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):
You, sir, are a bloviating bag of gas. You hinder progress and public safety at every opportunity. You & the senior senator from Missouri an embarrassment.
Total fraud Eric Schmitt believes in the Republican First Commandment: Trump is the Lord thy God and Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me.
The guy who has spent his entire career fighting infectious disease for the betterment of mankind, that Fauci?
You’re a fraud
Thank you Dr Fauci. No covid or long covid for me. Just got another booster. Ignore attacks on retired octogenarians by folks who think Trump is a role model. When you are.
Politicians who only appear on Fox and Newsmax are publicly announcing that they have nothing worth listening to, but are so anxious for publicity that they will recite the gospel of tRump to the other losers. Quit practicing medicine without a license.
Eric’s epidemiology and virology degrees were from tRump University. I know who I’ll listen to……
Unbecoming of a US Senator
Thank God we had Fauci.
Not what the majority of what Missouri is saying. After surviving covid, they’re saying they wished they would have listened to doctors instead of politicians.
Just say you couldn’t be bothered to wear a mask to protect others and we’ll understand.
Thank goodness for Dr Fauci!! His medical advice saved countless lives.
Where’s your scientific proof to back up your claims? All you have is conjecture and misinformation. You are nothing but a bully and a coward. So unless you have solid scientific proof sit down and be quiet.
Meanwhile Missouri Red and rural vax resistance had 4600 more deaths than births for 1st times ever in 2020 & 2021 including the 1918 pandemic, one of only 25 states to avoid science with such dramatic results. Republicans strike again.
Fascism – Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
Are you the douche that sent his kids to a private mask mandate school and fought public schools to drop theirs? What a hypocrite.
What the fuck is newsmax?
Dr. Fauci is a renowned doctor and super star in the infectious disease area. He has been cited across all scientific journals and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Bush. You on the other hand are a total fraud and embarrassment to the State of Missouri.
I wonder what history will say about you? Your career will be nothing compared to Dr Fauci’s. His contribution to AIDS research and work during the pandemic make him a true gift to America. You, on the other hand, will have no real accomplishments.
To what end do you spout such mindless drivel?
Fauci likely saved tens of thousands of lives.
Unbelievable that you’re still on this. He’s smarter than you. Just get over it.
Does the Republican Party go out of its way to nominate the stupidest people possible for high office?
They always have a pool of possible candidates for office.

The political persecution and witch hunt continues for Donald Trump.I guarantee that if he weren’t running for President this would NOT be happening.
They’re scared s***less that he is actually going to win and when he does, it’s game over. Everything gets exposed.

Your guarantee ain’t worth s…!
We see what you did there.
You’ve always been a cheap suit, Mark.
You are a embarrassment.
But what about the crimes?
You are a disgrace to the #ShowMeState
You are embarrassing your constituents.
It would be happening because he is a lifelong criminal. Someone finally managed to nab him; someone he couldn’t bribe, coerce or manipulate.
Go ahead, claim he’s innocent.
Dude you should just be quiet. When you see what they have this will be embarrassing for you.
Actually, it’s called accountability.
[….]
cry harder treason lover.
You’re horrible. You’re an arrogant, mean, nasty little man. We loathed you as a morning Fox 4 anchor and you’re just as bad in Congress.
Keep crying.
You’re an even worse congressman than you were a news anchor. What an embarrassment to MO
This tweet alone is sufficient evidence that you are utterly unfit for office. Disgusting.
Leadership? Yikes
Are you tweeting this off Putin’s teleprompter?
“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.
This traitor has believed he was above the rule of law if you believe in the rule of law and believe in America this is a just day. It’s a sad day because he thought he could skirt the rule of law. NO ONE IS ABOVE the rule of law.
You can’t guarantee anything
They (democrats) have nothing to do with this. This is all on Trump, himself. He was given multiple chances to turn over those TS documents. Not only did he not do it, but he lied about having them.
It’s laughable that you’re lawmaker.
In a normal world, you’d have a sense of shame at spouting such nonsense.
No, not Mark Alford (r).
Clown.
You
And him
So classified docs mean nothing to you?
Apparently not.
Ever heard of the Presidential Records Act? Ever heard of obstruction?
Apparently not.
I guarentee you it would be happening. He announced so early because he knew he was toast and was trying to shield himself. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
You’re embarrassing yourself.
I’ve watched you read a teleprompter for what feels like my whole life. Find some integrity.
A grand jury of his peers voted for the indictment. It’s not a witch hunt. He’s not a victim. He has confessed to doing it. Get a clue.
You’re a joke.
WTF?
You seem to forget that this started well over a year ago when Trump decided to blow off the request to return all the missing documents. He did not so the FBI executed a search warrant. Then they were lied to. Trump is finally being held accountable.
Trump isn’t running for office, he’s running from accountability.
Sit down.
You’re pathetic
You are pathetic.
It’s your view that former presidents should steal classified documents, keep them at their homes unsecured, lie about having them and refuse to return them when asked? Really?
You didn’t say he’s innocent
Um…the investigation was underway before he declared his candidacy.
Sweetie, we know all of you feel compelled to follow the GOP script on this. But maybe think of Trump as a real person and not an untouchable king? Nobody is above the law. Let the courts do their job.
Shame on you!! He broke multiple laws and is now suffering the consequence for his bad actions. What exactly do you teach your kids? You should lie, cheat and steal and then whine when you get caught? Pathetic!
Nah. It’s the constant criming.
Being dumb doesn’t make it go away.
Of course this would be happening.
He decided to run for POTUS again in hopes they wouldn’t jail a sitting President.
No one is above the law. Especially a former or sitting President.
Among his indictments is ESPIONAGE, Mark.
E S P I O N A G E !
Take that seriously. FFS.
So you would vote for a violent serial lying sexual abusing insurrectionist traitor?
Please grow up and say the word “shitless.”
Trump is a career criminal.
He is not persecuted.
It took him 50+ years but he finally came up against an opponent he can’t bankrupt or bribe.
#TrumpIndictment
Justice is truth in action.
Weird how he hasn’t exposed anything except his own crimes. Why does he have to be elected again? How is that game over?
They have meds for delusions, skippy.
You should sit this one out. He stole classified documents, then refused to give them back. If you do this, they will arrest you to Mark. Don’t be stupid for once. No one is above the law.
You are embarrassing yourself. No one is above the law. He is being held accountable for his actions. He broke the law.
If you think *some* people are above the law, you have no business being in your position and should resign. Shame on you.
Wipe the cheeto dust from your face, take out the earwig and step away from the teleprompter you arrogant little excuse for a man. Its amazing how anyone thought you had morals and ethics.
The DOJ began their probe months before he announced his candidacy. Stop your false narrative. He thought announcing would save him. Do you support espionage?
He was indicted by a grand jury. Not by the Democrats. Not by the President. Not by the DOJ. Trump did this all to himself.
And here you are defending him. The party of “law and order” can’t even police themselves from keeping a criminal con man at the top of their ticket.
There are people in the news all the time going to jail for mishandling sensitive documents. Your guarantee doesn’t hold water Mark. This has nothing to do with his candidacy and everything to do with his criminality. Have some respect for yourself.

On the debt ceiling, my view is the most important deficit we face is the trade deficit with China. Every dollar represents jobs lost (60k & counting in Missouri), industry lost, communities decimated. We’ve got to quit making China rich & get good blue-collar jobs back in USA
12:37 PM · Jun 1, 2023
A trade deficit and the debt ceiling are not the same thing. Josh Hawley (r) might not know this. Maybe he should ask for his tuition money back.
Some of the responses:
Repeal trump’s tax giveaways for the wealthy. Stop subsidizing Big Oil. Stop preventing the IRS from doing its job. There are ways to reduce the debt and deficit without crashing our economy.
Run along Josh [….]
Like all the jobs you’ve brought to Missouri?
Missouri? When did you ever care about Missourians? Loser
No one cares what you think traitor
#TaxTheRich and reverse #TrumpTaxScam
You Voted AGAINST the Infrastructure Bill & the Chips and Science Act, both of which will bring tons of good paying blue-collar jobs in the USA and to Missouri, so Your Actions say the opposite of Your Words. #LIAR
Missouri unemployment rate is under 3%. May e you’re thinking about Virginia, where you actually live.
How would you resolve a perceived trade imbalance with legislation to suspend the debt ceiling? [….]
He doesn’t know and he doesn’t care.
How is that related to the debt ceiling?
Then vote motion to vacate McCarthy.
Heh. Josh Hawley’s (r) base.
You’re a no so you can be the faux “fighter” that fights nothing. You know this will pass so you leave the dirty work of governing to others. You’re not a populist. You’re not a fighter. You’re a self promoter and the act is getting tired. Very tired.
Discretionary spending has fallen more than 40% in the past 50 years as a percentage of the nation’s gross domestic product (from 11% to 6.3%).
Josh Hawley voted no on the Chips Act…
You don’t even think enough of us to live here. Hard to think you’re doing anything more than posturing.
You don’t actually live in Missouri.
With your ivory-league education I’m sure you realize the debt ceiling is not the vehicle to address those concerns. This whole debacle has shown us who’s really there to govern & who’s there for soundbites.
We see what you did there. Sort of.
Go figure the traitor is pro-default. Resign
Hell, you don’t even LIVE in Missouri Joshy!— you RAN AWAY from there too! No Manhood award for you!!
To start, how about investing in infrastructure projects, like high speed rail and clean energy? These are the areas where China is leaving the U.S. behind. We’re not in the 19th and 20th centuries anymore. Speaking of blue collar jobs, where are you on unionization?
Take a wild guess.
Why does Missouri allow China to buy land?
You might want to ask Eric Schmitt (r) about that one.
I hope the other senators like paying our bills.
So you support the CHIPS act?
Uh, no.
That has nothing to do with the debt ceiling, you grandstanding elongated toddler
My view is you’re a stupid, corrupt son of a bitch without even the integrity to try to hide that fact.
You were a NO no matter. Nothing to be proud of that your party sent the jobs overseas to begin with you EVIL piece of shit.

Rick Brattin (r) and Denny Hoskins (r) are the pre-eminent legal scholars and final arbiters of the law in the State of Missouri, said no one ever.
Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].
Denny Hoskins (r) [2017 file photo].
A group billing themselves as Johnson County Citizens for the Protection of Children is still up in arms about the Warrensburg Pride Festival scheduled for June 3, 2023. There will be drag shows on the program. You know, fancy costumes, theatrical makeup, show tunes. This is nothing new. There were Pride Festivals in Warrensburg in 2021 and 2022.
These right wingnut busybodies had organized on-line to present a petition to the Warrensburg City Council during the public comment portion of the City Council’s evening meeting on April 24th to limit or cancel the Pride Festival. A loosely organized group of LGBTQIA+ allies organized on-line to speak in support of the Pride Festival.
The pearl clutching busybodies returned to last night’s City Council to demand an ordinance banning drag shows in Warrensburg, this time with photos on posterboard. In the period between the two council meetings the producers of the Pride Festival had already changed the festival format to 18 years of age and older due to reported threats against the festival and the venue. A similar group of LGBTQIA+ allies attended and signed in to speak in support of the Pride Festival and against a city ordinance.
At last night’s meeting several of the busybodies made reference to a letter from Rick Brattin (r) addressed to the Warrensburg Police Department dated April 21, 2023. At the end of the meeting we requested a copy of the letter from the city. Denny Hoskins (r) also signed the letter.
…It has recently come to my attention that the “Warrensburg Pride Festival” program is scheduled for Saturday, June 3…in Warrensburg, Missouri. This is troubling for several reasons. First, the show is advertised as “family-friendly” and for guests “of all ages.” The event promotion includes no warning for “adult content” whatsoever for these drag shows that event organizers deem “family friendly.” A simple internet [sic] of similar shows reveals the content of such events is, at best, inappropriate for all ages and, at worst, highly sexualized and wholly unsuitable for children.
In fact, reports of these shows are so obscene and indecent that listing them in this letter would be unsuitable as it may be read minors. There can be no reasonable doubt that the good people of Warrensburg would be appalled by the behavior on display at these types of events, especially considering this behavior is being actively marketed to their children in apparent hopes they would become desensitized to such tasteless activities, and as a result, become sexualized at a young age. Not only are these shows immoral, but they are also illegal under Missouri State statute…
…It is abundantly clear that drag shows violate the existing Missouri State Statute, and it is time for them to be dealt accordingly. When I became a Marine, I swore an oath to the Constitution, and that oath never expires. Our Federal and State Constitutions share a common thread: all of us, whether elected officials or law enforcement officers, have a duty to protect the most vulnerable in our community. Our most precious resource, our children, is under attack, and it is time that we engage with those who harm them by destroying their hearts and minds.
I call on my fellow patriots with the Warrensburg Police Department to put a stop to this behavior and enforce Missouri’s existing laws. These types of events must be stopped, and the businesses that facilitate these events must be punished. We must also deal with these “drag queens” who are just men with perverted intentions, in accordance with exiting state law. I know these battles are not easy, but I want Chief Munsterman, and every member of the Warrensburg Police Department to know that I will…
…have your back. Not only will I have your back, but I am willing to stand alongside you as you protect our community.
I want to close out this letter by thanking the Warrensburg Police Department for all that you do. You deal with the madness of society so the rest of us can go home each night and enjoy our families in peace. Thank you, and God bless you.
Respectfully,

What?
Some of the responses:
OMG!!! The parents should be in jail.
Ah, well, that makes it all fine then. /s
What year is it again?
This explanation does not help explain the confidence in his position. In fact, why would parents support this travesty?
Oh, that makes it much better. Jesus
The “young man“ was 12. At 12, you are not even a teenager, much less a young man. He was a child, as was she. You know some horrible religion was involved to sanction the child abuse. I am so sorry for those kids.
Well, that makes it all better. Shotgun weddings are so underrated.
These Republicans are insane. No intelligent & civilized society supports this.
Yeah. That’s doesn’t help his position at all.
Every time he clarifies this story, he makes it worse.
Keep digging, Mike sweetie. The whole just keeps getting deeper.
Why did they even need to get married then? Never mind, being rational is too high a bar.
FFS, he’s making it worse.
WTF? Does Senator Moon not understand how dangerous that was for the pregnant child? And are we so disconnected each other that he didn’t think we would be horrified by his answer?
This is supposed to be a standard for our children? What is wrong with these people?
Not the least bit better. He’s as ignorant as they come. [….]
In the news:
Missouri senator says he doesn’t support adults marrying children, after comments went viral
[….]
Moon said the example he was referring to is a couple he has known for about 40 years.
“The young man was 12; the girl was 11,” he said. “Their parents allowed them to marry. There was no forcing in the situation. But the parents wisely took the boy to their home, and the girls’ parents took her to their home.
“Eventually a child was born to the girl, and then years later, when they were able to support themselves and they were more mature, they were able to begin living together, and still living together today,” Moon said, adding the 2018 legislation would’ve made that type of marriage illegal.

A priority, apparently.
The responses:
Oh again! I forgot how supportive Republican men are of women’s sports! [….] Are you going to increase funding and scholarships? Work for pay equity? #GOPFakeCultureWar
Aww look at you Eric… caring about the environment and women’s sports all in the last month, how very woke of you, sir! (You’re smarter and better than this).
“…You’re smarter and better than this.” Evidently not.
Your social media 🤡 is stealing money from you, @EricBurlison. Just the laziest money they’ve made in their life. They think you’re a sucker.
Dude, get the fuck out of the People’s House with this pandering bullshit.

You miss out on those early basics of critical thinking.
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
From time to time a right wingnut concern troll will try to leave a comment here. Our system defaults to automatic moderation – that is, comments have to be approved. We don’t allow such comments to be linked to the original post, but on occasion, when we see fit, we’ll mock these attempts.
We see fit.
An attempted comment to a post about the priorities of the right wingnut republican controlled Missouri General Assembly:
Why not even the odds…why are you not doing the same on the Democrats? If your really concerned about inflation check on all parties Not just one!
Uh, actual reality:
Republicans maintain supermajority in Missouri Legislature following midterms
by Ryan Pivoney | November 10, 2022 at 4:03 a.m.Republicans maintained their supermajority in both chambers of the Missouri General Assembly after Tuesday’s election.
Republicans hold 111 of the 163 seats in the Missouri House and 24 of the 34 seats in the state Senate, according to unofficial election results from the Missouri Secretary of State. Democrats have 52 seats in the House and 10 seats in the Senate. A two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate are needed to override governor vetoes.
Republicans have maintained control of both chambers for the past two decades.
[….]
Contemplate the meaning of a “veto proof majority” and how the Missouri General Assembly has operated for the past twenty years. You know, actually pay attention.
“…Even the odds…”
What is that supposed to mean?
