Again, MO does not care bout the will of the people!

lauraannstl.bsky.social•48 days ago

Missouri Republicans don’t care one bit. They only pretend to care if the votes line up with their own political agendas.

Grasping at power and control never ends well. They are abusing y’all. I’m very sorry. 🇺🇸

Christian nationalists don’t care about the will of the voters

Call them what they are.. NAZIS

On his drive to Jeff City, Sparks called into a radio show to explain that he’s running for Speaker b/c people feel like they don’t have a voice in their gov’t. In the same breath, Sparks states that his plan to give power to the people is to overturn our vote. Does he believe his own bullshit?

Justin Sparks lost the Speaker vote 152-10 (that’s gonna leave a mark). But it’s important to know who those 10 are (more on that later). Pay attention to these names. Are they your representatives? Why did they champion someone who wants to throw out their constituents votes? Call them. Ask them.

Mazzie is NUTS. Of course she voted for Sparks.

tripowkow.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wow 152-10. That's a spanking.

tripowkow.bsky.social•54 days ago

Glad to see the Boone County reps voted yes. I appreciate their support. There is still work to do obviously.

Now, they will move on to nullify Prop A. Keep your eyes on these snakes.

lauraannstl.bsky.social•53 days ago

They’re already trying.

I recognize Titus of Nixa, MO. He was the "abortion murder charges" guy that withdrew it after it garnered national attention.

Nixa is just South of Springfield. Remember the boys that stole the Harris Walz signs? From Nixa.

@theboringprofessor.bsky.social can tell you horror stories.

theboringprofessor.bsky.social•52 days ago

This is true… I could and am always willing.

socinvestigator.bsky.social•48 days ago

Whew! This list had me holding my breath. I can exhale now.

ozarkgraphic.bsky.social•53 days ago

So, a republican Governor, supermajority in state house & senate, a legislative trifecta, and this chud says people (his people) don’t have a voice?

rhondakaye.bsky.social•54 days ago

Let me at him. Just five minutes.

lauraannstl.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’ll take the next 5 when you’re finished. I just want to ask questions. The humiliation alone would bury him.

rhondakaye.bsky.social•48 days ago

Let's tag team!

lauraannstl.bsky.social•48 days ago

tripowkow.bsky.social•54 days ago

We cannot let our guard down.

lauraannstl.bsky.social•48 days ago

Not even for 5 minutes 😒

Justin Sparks lobbied for $millions in Covid relief funds to open a daycare for police officers. Then he was hired to oversee the opening of the daycare. Even though he has no experience or training in opening a daycare. Grift & white boy affirmative action.

Yeah, I have a lot on that too. I really need to start feeling better so I have the energy to dump it all. I hope this investigation goes farther. I personally know they have more information than what’s been reported so far…

angeloftheozarks.bsky.social•48 days ago

I have a lot of faith and confidence in Missouri journalists.

And you.

piperformissouri.bsky.social•48 days ago

Laura always has the receipts. 🔥

angeloftheozarks.bsky.social•48 days ago

💯

She's damn smart too.

lulustl.bsky.social•48 days ago

He’s an opportunist just like his momma. She recruited my mom when I was a kid to protest abortion clinics and volunteer at the “pregnancy clinic.”
