Eric Greitens Senate ad: RINO hunting

[NewOrleans]

What the diseased, unholy fuck did I just see?

This guy is just horrible. The ad says he's a Navy Seal, but he's not. Not to mention the whole "hunting RINOs" thing. There are some pretty bad scandals I've been reading about:

TW abuse/sexual abuse (I don't think there was much detail in this article, but there was more in one of the linked articles from 2018).

Yeah we discussed this, his resignation, his veteran charity felonies, et al. in real time.

Ah, my memory is horrible, haha (or I missed it, who knows).

Already posted above, but it shocks me not at all that he’s an abuser. They really love their guns.

wow wow wow

I was so embarrassed when he was “removed” as governor, then embarrassed when Josh Hawley was elected to Congress. I don’t even know how I’ll feel about this backwards ass state if he wins this election. Like, this may put us ahead of Florida.

Missouri shocks me more than any state, honestly. Not that it was ever a bastion of liberalism, but it went from kinda swingy to hardcore batshit crazy in a pretty short period of time. OH and FL seem to be on the same trajectory but it’s not happening there as quickly.

My cousin’s wife re-posted a statement by the MO fraternal order of police against the video and him, but they only cited attacks against republicans in their statement (congressional softball game and kavenaugh plot). How subtle of them. Other than Jan 6th, and Gifford, any other examples I can include as attacks or attempted attacks (especially more recent than softball) on DS or non-Rs?

Every election we vote for measures that are D backed, anti-gerrymandering, pro union, etc. and then turn around in the same damn election and vote for the candidates that are against those measures.

Despite throwing Greitens overboard when it was politically convenient, I'm sure Hawley will endorse him the minute he wins the primary.

Shocker. Kimberley Guilfoyle is the national chair for his campaign.

Don’t even get me started. I worked for the now “defunct” Carpenters Union for over 15 years. The hypocrisy and ignorance are astounding.
