Oh, my goodness, does he ever! He cares nothing for his constituents. He cares about himself and Trump. To have someone like this in the Senate? No wonder we’re having problems! How many people did he hoodwink to become a Senator? Do they like him or hate him? Seeing this sort of drivel come out of his mouth would, and will, make us scream. Respect to The Daily Beast via, and also to Raw Story:
A millionaire MAGA lawmaker had a surprising statement on President Donald Trump’s Iran war that left people stunned on Tuesday. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) argued during a live interview on Newsmax that Americans should make do with the rising gas prices and compared the military conflict with Iran to how the United States defeated the Nazis during WWII, The Daily Beast reported.
Make do, my arse! How about he comes up to the level of Americans? He’d change that story right quick. He’s already below us, and this won’t help. He needs to be drop-kicked out of office if he doesn’t give a darn about actual people and actual struggles. He can stay in his own little secure world where he won’t bother anyone else. The rats are crawling out of the woodwork. Bonus: he’s a millionaire.
“Could you imagine trying to tell the president, ‘Look, you’ve only got so many days to defeat Hitler or defeat Japan?’” Marshall said, reflecting on his own grandparents during World War II. He said it was time for Americans to prepare for the unknown, despite rising prices prompted by the ongoing war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
“I’m sorry that gas prices are going up, but help is on the way, and your national security is even more important than your pocketbook,” Marshall said. “We have to do it ’til we get the outcome that we want,” Marshall added.
Seriously? What makes him think we will *ever* get the results we want? We barely know what any of them are! Regime change failed. Bombs failed. A land war would be a debacle. And there was NO planning that we know of for this. We and Israel just started attacking. It would be very helpful if we knew the reasons why and what was supposed to happen after the war. But we don’t. We only see a huge … mess. It’s getting bigger by the day, and it’s starting to stink.
People called out Marshall and his comments online: “Some of these states are inflicting their stupidity on the rest of us, and holding us back. A Senator from Kansas who only got 700k votes should not have the same voice as one from California who got 9 million. This is one of the reasons we are [expletive],” retired Army sergeant and political commentator Danny wrote on X.
“Hey Sen. Roger Marshall. Don’t compare your illegal war to World War II. Get Hitler out of your mouth, @RogerMarshallMD of Kansas,” journalist Nancy Levine Stearns wrote on X. //// “Well, yeah, it would go like this: ‘You only have so many days to defeat yourself.’ Because Trump is wannabe Hitler,” sports journalist and podcaster Jimmy Murphy wrote on X.
“Shame on the Kansas voters who put his [expletive] in office,” writer and filmmaker William Glad wrote on X. ////. “More Republican gaslighting. Do they even believe their own [expletive] they sell?” Developer Michael Dupuis wrote on Bluesky.
There are a couple of readers on here who delight in trying to upset people. That certainly seems to be what the senator is trying to do. He’s just trying to stir things up. He did very well at it. And even if that was his actual motive, it still pissed me off. How can anyone begin to understand him? People are really struggling, and he just doesn’t get it. What planet is he from?
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of elderly, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Even in Kansas there are people who are working to defeat Roger Marshall. As I understand, he bankrupted the local hospital in Great Bend when he set up his practice there and built his own facility. He was an OB-GYN and many of his former patients abhor him. He doesn’t even live in Kansas anymore, he moved to Florida. What he claims as his Kansas home is his family’s hunting lodge which is back in the woods behind a chained and padlocked gate. Our Johnson County MoveOn group is sending him postcards which are addressed: Sen. Roger Marshall, 1040 Sylvan Dr , Sarasota FL 34234. Please help us amplify our efforts by sending him your thoughts and prayers (his response to tragedy).
Thank you for the information. I will do so.
He’s from planet millionaire.
Ahahahaha well said!
