Where do they keep finding these awful people? Honestly, I’ve not seen such a collection of frauds, charlatans, and lunatics. This is our government today…sad. And a “president*” who seems to have all the time in the world to share his opinions with the world. Guess what, that’s not his job.

“Where do they keep finding these awful people.”

The voters are at fault here. And this is what they want. Constant victimhood is their only card.

He even lies here. Hey Bailey MO has been a Republican state for twenty years. Of all the past three MO AGs they’ve gotten worse from Hawley down through Bailey.
Since I knew Catherine Moore Hanaway in college, I will be following to see if she goes the way of her three predecessors.

You missed the point of the four mentioned Republicans that have/or will be the MO AG only two of them stood for election. Hawley was elected and skipped out after two years to run and win being a US Senator. Schmitt was appointed, and then rain for US senate. Bailey was appointed after Schmitt won his US senate seat. He did run and get elected in 2024.

When I first saw the above photo of Andrew Bailey, I thought that he was Todd Blanche (shown below).

Oh, I live in Missouri…I have white hot hate for him. He sued my school district a few years ago, claiming they refused to have a Fellowship of Christian Athletes at their high schools. EXCEPT They had chapters, at all FOUR high schools, since 2002. My neighbor is a pastor and the volunteer coordinator for the program. He had to spend a big chunk of time gathering documents that showed everything he did with the program that DID exist.. He was a volunteer, mind you. That was unpaid time for him. i believe the suit was quietly dropped..
