The entire Republican Party were either actively involved or complicit cowards in an insurrection and now treason
Either way this party is never held accountable for violating their oaths which are High Crimes
How do WTP get deputized 🤔
Waiting for corrupt courts who’ve had a decade and fall short of actual substantive action to stop a party committing treason is Not A Winning Strategy
Not sure why so many ppl still blve our corrupt institutions will stop corruption
I agree. And why do some humans think there are some good nonhumans and some bad nonhumans? They're all part of our ecosystem, the insects and rodents, and even fly larvae (maggots), which do their part as cleaner-uppers. Anyone who doesn't like dirt-loving creatures shouldn't have dirt around. As for Republicans' place in the system, maybe they serve as negative role models: to show us how not to behave. This doesn't seem to apply to Trump's following: they don't recognize good or bad.
This is the perfect description of Hawley. Hawley has always made me think of him as creepy and I am equally disgusted by him as by Trump. He truly stands for nothing, just like Trump. They appear to be from the same pod. Two frauds in a pod seems about right.
As a former Missourian, I can definitely say Jos Hawley is despicable!!! For a long time, he defrauded Missouri voters by not even living in his district. The thing he is best at is lying which puts him right up there with the rest of the MAGA congressmen. He is creepy, runs away when he is about to be challenged, and can't even get his lies straight about Medicaid.
Thank you, Sir, for taking up the reins of the Democratic Party‼️ I deeply appreciate your extensive efforts and pray we extricate ourselves sooner rather than later from this utter disregard for morality and egregious disrespect for any human being not a MAGA supporter. 🙏 btw I fear depression not recession…😳
Sorry, Ken. I don't belive Hawley can get his lies straight about much of anything. I also lived for a time in Missouri. I believe, at that time, we did elected committed conservatives to national office. Now, it appears that Missourians vote for devoted sycophants.
I absolutely get where you are coming from and he is unfit- but wasnt the fistbump before they started the counting? Before the assault. After the assault there is a picture of Hawley running in the halls.
Even funnier were some the tweets made after Hawley tweeted a link to a GOP merchandise store featuring a "Show Me Strong" mug with a picture of him doing his fist pump. My favorite: "For coffee that gives you the runs."
Addendum- adam was probably inside so he may not have seen it like some of us did in jan 6. And being inside and everything made that day so much longer for him and they inside than for us watching on the TV.
This is the guy who was seen running across the front of the Capitol on Jan 6 giving the thumbs up to Trump’s baying MAGA thugs as they were about to storm the building.
Later, the cretin was captured on film running for his life through the chambers trying to escape their wrath. “Hang Mike Pence. Hang Mike Pence”.
Poor sap, but I must confess it was so, so, funny.
Should have left him in the chambers to reason with the thugs. They probably didn't know one person from another and maybe would have thought he was not who he was. Pence, maybe?
I agree 150%. I hate this guy and donated to the democrat running against him last year. That fist pump he gave to the Trump mob disgusted me and I despised him to the core. But knowing these other things like being Christian Nationalist and wanting judges jailed plus no support for Ukraine or NATO, disgusts me more. I remember Jan 6th 2021 well. I happen to have the TV on and happened to turn CNN on and I saw this inbred walking by pumping his fist when all hell broke loose. I have no use for him.
That democrat last year is Lucas Kunce. That man should have become our senator! He writes amazing stories on Substack (as does his middle school son!!!) Check him out.
He’s my senator and he’s just awful…I call his offices regularly and write letters. I’ve called out his policies ever since he was elected. Former senator Danforth (who sponsored his ascent to the senate and campaigned for him) said it was the biggest mistake in his life.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think he’s got the chops or charisma to go higher in politics. He’s awkward in front of a crowd and the subject of constant ridicule.
What is a "great article"? It is EVIDENCE-based, contains all the RELEVANT facts, and uses a strong and clear MORAL compass. And it's TRANSPARENT, making clear what perspective the author adopts on reality as a whole (and its endless pieces of "information").
Also, the conclusion is clear: Hawley's is an anti-American ELITIST.
Because that is what all the neofascist Republicans keeping Trump as their clown in chief are: ELITIST. The only politicians constantly denouncing "the elites" are the wealthiest of all, today, and they destroy all the public services that made America great and would make it even greater if expanded and reinforced, as all civilized nations do. Instead of putting AMERICA first, they put their own wallets and political power first, flip-flopping as many times as needed to get the job of conning the American people done.
According to Jess Piper who lives in Missouri she has contacted him numerous times to have a town hall for years but he never responds. TOWN HALL HAWLEY!!! He was supporting Jan6th Insurrection as we can see from pictures cheering the domestic terrorists
I’m a Missourian. I call Hawley’s offices daily and I send postcards. It is almost impossible to get anyone to answer his phone. About 99.5% of the time I’m forced to leave a voicemail. Does anyone listen to the voicemail? Who knows. Townhalls? I’m not sure he’s ever held one. He’s as worthless as our other senator, Eric Schmitt. And my representative Jason Smith is even worse than both senators. His office staff do answer his phones and are very proud of the fact that Smith is MAGA through and through. Smith, has no townhalls scheduled and no intention of scheduling any per his staffer who answered the phone, but staff assured me that he will be voting FOR the budget reconciliation and that Trump should accept the Qatar 747. Why he believes his constituents want this is a mystery to me.
He doesn't care what his constituents want. He's not doing the job to be the voice of the people. He's just a puppet on a string doing tRump's dirty work.
Hawley is a creep, but they’re all creeps….given. The messaging needs to switch to what positive changes an alternative in 2028 would mean. As a start, how about a strong message that tariffs, which are nothing more than guaranteed inflation for American consumers, will disappear, and, where necessary, be replaced by firm trade negotiations. Similar approaches need to happen for education and health care.
Totally agree! The Dems or the new FAIR party (Freedom and Individual Responsibilty Party, which doesn’t exist yet) need a platform of what they are going to do for the American people is what is sorely needed. Just continually going after Trump and his minions isn’t going to do it.
I also think they need a firm agenda that NO PRESIDENT can ever try to rule by EO’s again. If an amendment is needed, so be it. It needs to be a strong Amendment that lets the people/Congress toss them out on their ear within days of trying to do so. They must abide by the Constitution or OUT THEY GO! I guess what I’m saying is that it has to be made illegal somehow!
Kat, president’s have authority to use EO’s. The problem is that Trump has used them for everything from tariffs to deportations and everything in between and Congress has failed to exercise its Constitutional authority as in the above areas and others. MAGA members have simply rolled over instead of acting as a check, and worse yet, in some cases Supreme Court decisions, especially the recent presidential immunity decision, have further emboldened his lawlessness. That is why we are in a full fledged Constitutional crisis.
Yes, I get all that. There should be some kind of limit on them then. He should not be able to put EO’s on Constitutional laws, without serious consequences, is my main point. Something should be done to stop any President from being able to do what he is doing. Maybe Congress members need some kind of penalty for rolling over and letting a President go against our Constitution as well. Call me crazy, but this should never been allowed to happen. We need true Patriots in our Congress, not the corrupt ones that we have now. Like if they break their oath of office that they can be dismissed immediately.
Kat, if not dismissed IMMEDIATELY, maybe after a council of retired judges decides, thus confirming the rule of law after appearing before the council. How to equitably choose the councilors will require discussion. Any ideas thereto?
THIS IS LONG I MAD OUR COUNTRY IS AT A FORK IN THE ROAD WE HAVE TO CHOOSE CORRECT FORK
MY RANT I am angry, Sad, Disappointed Heartbroken, Angry at MAGA Voter for lack of Education on Candidates.
So the EO are Not Laws correct? Laws are only in acted by Congress correct? Why are these EO used as laws? What needs to happen because DT has abused office of President has abused every rule of Normal President all for his Ego, Greed, Lies, we must demand Congress to enact new laws to protect Americans, America & our Agencies for future Egomaniacs. Republicans in Congress must to be held accountable for their failure to stand by their Oath to Constitution, Office and their Oath they took for the Constitutes. They must be voted out. LAW MUST BE SET IN PLACE FOR NO MORE MILLIONS to run for office we must have Campaign reform. NO CANDIDATE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BUY AN ELECTION AS PAY FOR PETITION, VOTES, ETC. these Billionaires are buying our WH for favor it must be STOPPED
I’ve been thinking why are Republicans acting like THEIR State, & Constituents DO NOT matter to them? ITS like they will be in Congress as long as they possible that’s what troubles me?
AS if no more Election will take place. Look How Republicans are treating their Constituents. Anyone else see it?
If DT dies before 2028 of we will. DT is finding he can and will go against Courts, Laws so you know America needs a higher Authority that will become LAW of the Land with a Team of the elite Law Enforcement (Seal Team) to enact the laws of America in Courts? Non Political Judges ) 1 from Canada, Mexico, Australia, England & US.
If we have a Pres
Who chooses not follow our law of the Supreme Court as we’re experiencing now a President not following the Law plus with Corruption in Attn Gen office who chosen to follow a man & not our Country should be impeached this what happens when we have no checks on Corruption and 1 party has Congress & WH which SEEMS WRONG IN TODAYS ENVIRONMENT this to should never happen.
We weren’t perfect in the 80s but Politicians didn’t spend millions, knowledge of Constitution, proud of America & all Americans some served in Military or West Point, weren’t Billionaires seemed honest also we must have standards to run for Congress and Presidency. Once you weren’t Divorced much less 3 times, no connection with our adversaries plus 6 Bankruptcy what the hell. Now DT has abused every norm we’ve have in America we MUST DEMAND HONEST higher STANDARDS for our WH DJ has soiled Our Nation Capital and WH. We Must never allow this to happen again. We must have Standard testing as they apply for the job in Congress and WH. It’s sad but necessary because of the abuse of DT. Age limits for the Grassley of Congress not have McConnell or Feinsteins any longer same for SCOTUS Term limits
Agree. We are thinking very much the same. One point, tho, EO’s are not laws, tho Trump thinks they are & so do his crooked billionaire cronies. That’s why they need to limit them and/or make sure they don’t go against our constitution before they are signed by the President. Something sure as hell needs to be done to stop this from ever happening again. Also, we need big money out of politics. We can do a lot of this by OVERTURNING CITIZENS UNITED. That was when most of this grift started.
Thank you, Greg. Emphasize what positive actions benefiting regular folks comprise our agenda. Then, maybe, give a brief statement about how the MAGA candidate wants the opposite. Close with, "You can make the difference when you vote!"
And he’s running nonstop ads in Missouri about how he’s saving cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in Missouri, because, you know, he really cares about his constituents. The guy is a weasel. Ugh
I lost my Twitter account for wishing an incurable taint itch upon him after his J6 stunts. WORTH IT because if any man deserves one, it's this greasy little cosplay wannabe.
Hawley is a fraud. Plain and simple. His actions leading to Jan 6 were unforgivable and should never been whitewashed.
ABSOLUTELY 💯%
The entire Republican Party were either actively involved or complicit cowards in an insurrection and now treason
Either way this party is never held accountable for violating their oaths which are High Crimes
How do WTP get deputized 🤔
Waiting for corrupt courts who’ve had a decade and fall short of actual substantive action to stop a party committing treason is Not A Winning Strategy
Not sure why so many ppl still blve our corrupt institutions will stop corruption
Nonsensical
Add Lindsey Graham and make it an axis of evil.
And the competition is fierce!
This guy always gave me the creeps. So it is no surprise he is doing this.
I always thought he was creepy too. Anytime I’ve seen him on television being interviewed I imagined there were scales beneath his skin.
Joan ,
Isn’t comparing Republican office holders to snakes , an insult to
reptiles in general?
Touché, never considered that. My humble apologies to reptiles everywhere.
I agree. And why do some humans think there are some good nonhumans and some bad nonhumans? They're all part of our ecosystem, the insects and rodents, and even fly larvae (maggots), which do their part as cleaner-uppers.

Sorry, Ken. I don't belive Hawley can get his lies straight about much of anything. I also lived for a time in Missouri. I believe, at that time, we did elected committed conservatives to national office. Now, it appears that Missourians vote for devoted sycophants.
I absolutely get where you are coming from and he is unfit- but wasnt the fistbump before they started the counting? Before the assault. After the assault there is a picture of Hawley running in the halls.
From memory, the fist-bump was made shortly before the barriers on the east side of the Capitol were breached. Poor sap.
It’s why Adam Christened him “Fistpump McRunpants”. So, so funny.
Maybe he knew what "the plan" was.
Even funnier were some the tweets made after Hawley tweeted a link to a GOP merchandise store featuring a "Show Me Strong" mug with a picture of him doing his fist pump. My favorite: "For coffee that gives you the runs."
If Hawley does run, that’s the picture that needs to be plastered everywhere on all forms of media. Can’t get that image out of my head.
I saw the video, and the music to "Chariots of Fire" was playing.
And the “Benny Hill” theme.
This is what I remember also.
Addendum- adam was probably inside so he may not have seen it like some of us did in jan 6. And being inside and everything made that day so much longer for him and they inside than for us watching on the TV.
Indeed, that is the correct sequence of his hypocrisy
Josh Hawley?

Every time i see his face The word Closet comes to mind
IKR!!! He’s a Christian Nationalist, and not to sound stereotypical, but they have soooo many issues with sexuality…
My son knew him from Stanford; Hawley was a jerk back then too
Not surprised.
Great article, thanks Adam!

WHAT. A. SCAM.
Run, Hawley, Run! Coward, traitor, and fake. He belongs in prison, not in our government.

just keep calling everyday.
Giving it my best shot. Thanks for the encouragement.
Yes 86 in my day we were kicked out of a bar. So IMPEACH con man

SO wise & insightful you always ARE!!
Thank you for ever speaking the Truth
& keeping us rightly focused & aligned in all that you say!
God Bless & protect you & your family - each & every day!!
Can’t agree with this statement more!
Hawley is a coward and a fraud. Jan 6th.
