Eric Schmitt is, and only ever was a political hack. The worst kind.

Ugly. So sleazy. schmitt would contest the results of Appomattox in 1865.

History will not reflect well on tRump, his family, or any of his fucking bootlickers in congress. Too goddamn many con artists in politics and not nearly enough Liz Oyers in this world.

I am not worried about history. I am scared to death of today.

I don't have to imagine that. I lived it in WI. I talked my 91 yo mom in Madison into voting absentee because of Covid, despite her misgivings. Her vote was subject to, by my count, 20 lawsuits, and it was nearly January before it was officially certified. It was a 1-vote margin in the WI Supreme Court against tossing her ballot. Don't sleep on that traitor Mike Lee.

Trump & Co debunked voter fraud claims are a fraudulent excuse for voter suppression. #VoteBlue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y3hPQgWAxc

Unfortunately, Schmitt is one of my senators and the other one is no prize either. Actually, his worldview is frightening. I am concerned for my granddaughters . . . Please do not assume all Missourians think like Schmitt. 40% or more of us are working to reclaim our state.

Schmitt brings the same old tired maga lies and BS. Get these corrupt pedo protectors out of office.

Absolutely. These bigoted extremists were relegated to the hellhole they existed in before Trump arrived. He opened the door and made them mainstream. Once Trump is gone we can force them back in.

Sadly, he’s one of our two Missouri Senators and a first class asshole. I was just talking to my wife after watching some of the Blanche hearing and remarked what a jerk he is.

Hawley is spineless.

Where does a family named Schmitt who came here, most likely after the civil war or in the 1880’s figure in to his blood and soil narrative? The same Schmitts who had face anti German animus, right down to a ban on their language.

Im just an old business man. I trust no one from Missouri. No one.

The tragedy about people like trump and schmitt is that they are in office right now, and there are kids in the middle and high schools who will see these individuals, read and hear about them, and when they reach voting age, will believe that the actions by these so-called 'leaders' is the way that these acts are normal, and then vote accordingly. The fact is that trump, schmitt, johnson, vance, Collins, McConnell, etc, are not role models for how our leaders should conduct themselves. Our nation's future, and collective soul, must demand better.

Go Adam Kinzinger Poem #6

The seat of Senator Graham is covered in Black

In remembrance of him and the integrity he lacked

Lindsey knew all the right questions to ask a nominee

His vote up or down once respected, turned to dishonesty

He is not alone in the chambers who lost their dignity

It is a political disease that puts party over country

The voir dire of a nominee by Senators was once trusted

This Senate has lost the people's respect. It's busted

Todd Blanche is and has been Trump's lawyer

It doesn't matter what's revealed. Trump was his employer

This fact alone should disqualify Todd Blanche

But this Senate is full of Donald Trump's sycophants

So why are they bothering to put on this farce of a show

Blanche will become Attorney General, that we already know

Republican enablers have corrupted our government

The outrage should matter to all, even their constituents

The country will continue to suffer

Because Congress is no longer a buffer

They place flags on top, and raise our national debt. Call it leadership

It's not leadership. It's a country in its death grip

A country doesn't belong to the people who live in division

We lost the land in the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision

The billionaires own the country and the presidency

The country is dying from this political disease

The midterm elections is our only hope to save her

Democracy needs your vote and a prayer

We must turn on Lady Liberty's light again

Let it shine brightly and let the light reveal the sin

A government is not a government unless it protects its citizens

It respects our Constitution and it never threatens

Its people with arrest for voicing their disagreements

Of an authoritarian president and his government

We were founded on a foundation that no man is above the law

What is happening today in the country, sticks in my craw

As always pass on the message and leave the hate behind. Your vote is your power but only if you use it.

Peace ✌️ Packy Paules

Eric and Josh, my two benighted senators, racing to "go back" and hoping to drag many terrified and clueless white people with the. May they succeed and are never able to return.

It should read ‘concern every decent American’.
