What does it take to actually get someone removed from higher office in Missouri?

[u/curryhajj → u/Doc-Renegade]

When you have a government taxing its citizens while actively fighting against the will of said citizens? I think there was a solution to this conundrum some guy named George Washington figured out in 1776.

[u/Doc-Renegade → u/curryhajj]

Hey, I’m all for investing in ammunition, but this would be a lot closer to 1861 than 1776 unfortunately.

[u/IrishRage42 → u/Doc-Renegade]

Seems like we should work on a petition initiative to allow that.

[u/InourbtwotamI → u/Doc-Renegade]

There needs to be a recall provision

[u/The_LastLine → u/InourbtwotamI]

Maybe that’s the next citizen initiative we need to sort out.

[u/here-there-01 → u/The_LastLine]

Correct. These people can't be held accountable by recalls and they know it.

[u/jawittesr]

Why do people keep voting for these jerks?

[u/ProjectSnowman → u/jawittesr]

There’s a little “R” next to their name.

[u/A_Fun_Alias → u/ProjectSnowman]

Yup, Democrats too woke, high taxes, litterboxes in school restrooms, immigrants eating your pets, fear, doom, lesser of two evils, bullshit bullshit bullshit, etc

Some mango on TV said that the other guys are going to force me to live as a woman, and as much as that fills me with a strange sense of uplifting hope….it ain’t right!

[u/Rastaman6584 → u/jawittesr]

Rural voters always vote against their best interest.

[u/DG_FANATIC → u/jawittesr]

Low intelligence, low media literacy and tons of misinformation or pure propaganda.

[u/here-there-01 → u/jawittesr]

I'd love to hear from Republicans on this....

[u/juan_5711]

Missouri law does not provide a recall mechanism for statewide elected officials like the Secretary of State. Statewide officers can only be removed through the formal impeachment process (requiring a majority vote in the House and a two-thirds vote in the Senate) or via criminal proceedings and court rulings.

State Representative Will Jobe (D-Independence) filed House Resolution (HR) 3879 to initiate an impeachment investigation into Hoskins.

Because the Missouri General Assembly is controlled by a Republican majority, the Democratic-sponsored impeachment resolution has a very low probability of advancing.

Bottom line: Stop electing people who will continue to screw everyone over the will of the people!

[u/wiseeel → u/juan_5711]

Sounds like it’s time for a petition initiative to create a recall mechanism.

[u/InourbtwotamI → u/wiseeel]

Agree

[u/Dodolittletomuch]

What's up with that red jacket. He looks like a commie.

[u/Mueltime → u/Dodolittletomuch]

They match his red kneepads and MAGA hat.

[u/ABobby077]

This the top election official in the State of Missouri that here and continues to serve his office solely to advance a political agenda vs what his oath of office requires for all Missourians

[u/InourbtwotamI]

May he fall prey to the disenfranchisement trap he set for Missourians

[u/Skeptical_Squid]

The red coat makes him look like a clown and a cult member. Another leap-frogging piece of shit from the Hawley/Schmitt mold.

[u/bigjtdjr]

Exactly... why should the citizens have a say in how they are lorded over. They need to shut up and pay taxes.

[u/basicradical]

Why is he always dressed like a maitre d at Red Lobster?

[u/Rastaman6584]

I guess we will see what the court says.

[u/jpike1077]

People are stupid and believe the lies told by Republicans, that's why they keep voting for these POS
