These pearl-clutchers are underestimating the younger generation's obsession of horror and true crime...meanwhile these faux religious bible-thumping types are low key sinners 24/7.
Every accusation is a confession with them...
Holy buckets - I'm rarely speechless! You all are amazing!!!! I surpassed 300 today!!๐So grateful for all the new, likeminded friends! I'm already enjoying seeing your posts and getting to know you all! Thank you!!

*sigh* The GOP complains that government overreach is unwarranted when it comes to guns & masks. Yet when it comes to imposing religion, removing bodily autonomy, and defunding public education they are all for big government.
@kiwijennyc
As a 40 year old, curvy woman that has braved the dating apps....I can tell you they do care. It doesn't seem to matter how funny, educated, or pretty you are. They want 20-somethings that adore them, but don't make more money or challenge them. It's aggravating, honestly.
@JoJoFromJerz
Josh Hawley didn't vote. He was in MO today "assessing" flash flood damage...from last week. He said it was "urgent" to get people the help they need. We don't expect to see him in MO again unless there is another vote to dodge or when he is up for reelection in 2024.

@Acyn
Wrong Hawley. This is his wife Erin who is senior counsel for a group called Alliance Defending Freedom - which is the most ironic name ever.
@AdamParkhomenko
He is totally the type to leave a voicemail! Calling and hanging up alone wouldn't result in a DOJ notification, because it would be really hard to prove it was him and not an assistant, the reason for calling, etc. There are always receipts with tfg....always.
Breaking from CNN: Appeals court ruled 3-0 that the House Ways and Means Comm. can get tfg's taxes. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better...August keeps giving. ๐
@Acyn
Jessica's been on a truth-telling mission. And they have been airing it. There is a speck of hope some of them will come to their senses. Really small speck, but still.

The part that also got me was right after this, he tells her to go see her parents and her coach. This man is truly team Tara in every way and it's beautiful to see.
@marceelias
MO has long been a cesspool of corruption. We've had GOP leadership in the MO Leg for 20 yrs that's gone unchecked. Schmitt spent the last 2 years engaging school districts in costly, frivolous lawsuits. Hawley doesn't even live here, but as AG was known for his narcissism.

supporter laughs, yes, laughs out loud so everyone could hear, while Beto described the massacre of 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde, Beto quite appropriately lets loose with a MF.
Yep.
It was a pretty good one too.
@atrupar
The amount of ๐ฉ coming out of his mouth in this interview is appalling. I don't think this guy has met a fact in his life. He needs to go in 2024.
@Eric_Schmitt
We want clean energy, funded schools, updated/safer infrastructure, high-speed internet, and most of all - for the GOP to be held accountable for ignoring constituents while spending our tax money on things like frivolous law suits and self-serving kickbacks.
Good chat! ๐

There's a lot to unpack here...
So...FBI asked his lawyers to install a lock on door in a private hotel/residence, then busted said lock when they "attacked" with their perfectly legal search warrant that was signed off on by a judge and the DOJ? Uh, yeah. Someone's unraveling.๐

๐ฏ During my first chemo treatment for breast cancer years ago, my ex left to get lunch because he was hungry and "this place is depressing". Wish I could make that up.
@RonFilipkowski
He and Nancy are well-matched that way. They have been around far too long and do a lot more behind the scenes than they are given credit for. As much as I loathe McConnell, he knows how to play the long game.
@tubawidow
We were also told about buckets. And a "bug bag" - snacks, water, first aid kit. I have classes of 30 middle schoolers at a time. Where am I supposed to keep all this after I spend my own money buying it??
@onlyonesqueeze
As an educator, it's distressing that in my district a teacher with a doctorate makes $43-74K per year (the high end is for 30yrs/service). Teachers get frozen on the pay scale at $42K after year 8 if they fail to get a masters. Then people wonder where the teachers are going.
@RonFilipkowski
The ones blaming Biden likely don't realize there are other countries in the world - let alone have the ability to name more than three European countries.
@RandyRainbow
And he just smiled and nodded. She has a history of praising Hitler as well. The ONLY bright side is that she is in IL, where the governor has pledged to continue to provide abortion services.

This was a bi-partisan effort and needed to pass after failing last month. I have questions on what Rep. Kind of WI was thinking by being the only Dem nay. Glad Pelosi didn't let it go. We need some forward progress!

@mattjwarner
As a fellow educator, it is puzzling to me you would spend 3.5 years on a theory that has no practical application in PK-12, nor did it come to the forefront as a talking point until 2020. My EdD work actually focused on practical applications like leadership and policy analysis.
@ElieNYC
As a public educator, can't say this is surprising. The path to defunding public education has been on the agenda for quite a while now. This decision opens the door to what the right has craved for a while now...it's frightening.
@real_marie
@notcapnamerica
We divorced shortly after I got better. Ironically, he had cheated on me during my treatment, married his mistress shortly after the divorce was final, and within two years he died of colon cancer. The universe had my back!
@piper4missouri
Or how about....we just let him go to school where qualified teachers cover essential curriculum and he grows academically, socially, and emotionally? These elite education "reformers"/public school destroyers are exhausting.
@ElieNYC
Defunding public education has always been the endgame. Education will be a privilege of the white elite. Subjugating women, ethnic groups, and anyone on the rainbow spectrum in order to build the white Christian nation of their dreams is the first step. It's terrifying.
@bobcesca_go
As a MO resident, Greitens ads were the first where I saw this. And it was absolutely shocking at the time. Now, practically every GOP candidate in MO for this cycle has a similar ad. They never discuss real issues, but rather pretend to blow stuff up to pander to the 2A base.
@piyushmittal
Two inexperienced lawyers who were promoted to lifetime judgeships by a corrupt administration to promote a MAGA/extremist agenda, no matter the expense of their souls. Am I close?
@MuellerSheWrote
TFG finally postponed the AZ rally that was scheduled for tomorrow. My theory is he's staying home to count all the money from the "Ivana's dead" fundraiser. ๐ค

@KaivanShroff
She is head counsel for the ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) and part of a group called Center for Life. She was also partially responsible for the Dobbs case. She's a holy roller who will not rest until all women are submissive Stepford vessels for their husbands. Major ick.
@RonFilipkowski
I like the part where they are all pretending to not understand the difference between a disguise versus actual cross-dressing. Marge is doing this, too. Anything to distract, deflect, and defend the guns! ๐คจ
@JoJoFromJerz
It's all part of the plan to defund public education. Create intolerable circumstances for educated, certified teachers who have been trained in whole-child wellness. This "warm body" approach will fail and open the door to privatizing education. It's started in MO already.
@TristanSnell
Some of us in MO have been screaming about this for years! Hawley has always been a phony and smarmy. His ambitions have put him above the law, in his own mind. He needs to go! We have a great Dem candidate in Kunce, who has my vote!!
@Ahippywaa
@RonFilipkowski
Likely someone who came up to him, with tears in their eyes, and said, "Sir...I want you to have this flag because your dad is my personal savior and hero, bigly and never lost to Biden and Hilary's emails on Hunter Biden's laptop are real". ๐
Of course he did....good thing there is plenty of evidence mounting up against him. He fails to recognize that he's done nothing but incriminate himself at all his "rallies" and social media. His testimony is likely the least relevant to the investigation.
JUST IN: Trump says he has pleaded the Fifth in his deposition with the New York State AG.
"Under the advice of my counsel ... I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution."
@EPennysworth
Yesterday someone posted on NextDoor StL that their neighbor called the cops because they thought she had pot in her planters. They were legit tomato plants.

I bet CPAC loves the idea of shipping people off to tents where they can't see them anymore. But the medical thing...would they actually be trying to help them? Or would they be doing experiments on them? If they don't comply, will they gas them? I feel like I've seen this movie.
@HawleyMO
You know who won't lift a finger to help his constituents? Josh Hawley. He showed up in MO for the first time in a long time a few weeks after some flooding. He was here for a few hours for some photos (for his next campaign, without a doubt), then went home to VA.

@NoLieWithBTC
My guess is that is only a matter of time before it comes out that he is into underage boys and blackmails them into staying silent. They always tell on themselves.
@piper4missouri
It's been a day of sadness, anger, and anxiety. I live a mile from CVPA and due to 4-day weeks in my district, I was home today. The relentless sound of sirens & helicopters this morning was scary. Not as scary as what those kids and school staff experienced. Too close to home.
