    Isn’t Missouri the state where a 10 year old can open carry an AR15?

    The voters here were smart enough to approve rec weed & other things, there is no way we would be stupid enough to vote to take our own voice way. Give up GOP your time is up.
  • @davepaez2019
    Ughhhhh I'm so tired of this Why does it have to be this way
  • Time and time again, a majority of voters across various states have demonstrated that they support abortion rights and yet Republicans continue to act against the majority so that begs the question: Why are Republicans so anti-Democracy? They have the audacity to act so surprised when voters serve them a plate of accountability. You can do this, Missouri, get out there and assert your rights. #VOTE! #VoteBlue2024 #RockTheVote #WhenWeAllVote #RoeRoeTheVote

    Love it when the parties fist fight over basically non issues that were resolved by SCOTUS half a century ago, but eyes closed when any bill that fixes actual things like gerrymandering or the stupid daylight savings time.
