Still laughable, especially in retrospect now given <gestures at everything>, at the 2023-24 numbers. Just wildly unserious media coverage of inflation, the totally nonexistent recession, & how much everyone was Suffering.

Eric Schmitt is a prime example of why I’m a FORMER Republican and will always remain so unless there is a wholesale cleaning of house and reinvention of that political party. It isn’t even a real political party anymore. Merely a cult of personality. Disgusting, immoral behavior.

At the turn of the century, Missouri was a swing state. As recently as 2008, Barack Obama nearly won the state. Now your Senators are Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt. What happened?? Please stop watching Fox News, people! It’s damaging your brains.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but when it pans to where Schmidt was sitting, his chair is empty? He was right by Katie Britt… He didn’t even stick around??? Bro knows he muffed it and had to split to escape further humiliation.

This is a new tactic of tyranny. The Republicans on the Supreme Court have blood on their hands. Taxpayer money spent to deport people, in some cases, to their deaths. Will this tactic be extended to citizens? Totally lawless, and a total disregard for life.

To be, um fair, to Schmitt, he thinks Jack Smith is a dirtbag because Schmitt is a dirtbag and like the rest of the GOP projects, thinking everyone else are dirtbags. That and Smith pursued the facts which is what, um, dirtbags do?
