He is the Missouri Chair for ALEC, has written guns everywhere legislation, anti-DEI bills, and anti-trans bills, and he has no Democratic opponent. Meet Ben Baker.
For nearly 100 years there was a federal law against corporations acting as people and contributing to campaigns.
Then in 2010, Citizens United barely squeaked by in SCOTUS of a 5-4 decision. Dark money flooding in.
5 if not 6 of SCOTUS are completely corrupt, they would sell out this country, they are selling out this country. These 5 SCOTUS do not care about democracy or the Constitution . Citizens United needs to be repealed.
I read the book, “Dark Money” by Jane Mayer . I found it the scariest book I’ve read. Your post shows detail as to how the things she wrote about actually work. Hopefully, the exposure you are giving the issue will “wake up” some of the voters and a competitor for his position.
I’m so tired of these man babies running around with their guns and their bullshit; trying to control everyone’s lives with their bogus opinions and their shake & half baked laws drawn up by assholes just a little bit smarter than them. C’mon Missouri! How can you allow yourself to be debased by jackasses like this guy?
Ben Baker is an example of confused manhood. We don’t have a process in America for defining manhood. We don’t have cultural practices to teach manhood. Manhood is whatever we say it is and different people say different things about what manhood is.An early Supreme Court justice in an obscenity case said he couldn’t define obscenity but he knew it when he saw it.
Those weapons Baker is holding- are they stand ins for something else.
When I was a young Black “ militant” we would repeat the line “ Political Power grows from the barrel of a gun” attributed to Mao Zedong. We could change that to “ Manhood grows out of the barrel of a gun”. For some men. There’s a sexual element to guns for some men. Guns make some men who’re insecure feel more masculine, more in control, more powerful. There is a power to guns. The power to deliver death. To some men it’s intoxicating. Ben Baker, minister, probably thinks Jesus would carry an AR-15 instead of a cross.
Confused manhood. I’m a man. I still find myself trying to figure out what manhood is. Is it being tough, able to fight well? Is it money? Big money can buy big respect and big respect is part of manhood. Is it sexual prowess which is manhood? Is it all of those things,none of those things, or something else? I’ll be 76 on March 13. I feel secure in my manhood- whatever it is. But wearing big guns and looking ferocious ain’t manhood, Ben Baker. It’s what in my youth we’d call “ fronting”. Fronting is pretending. Rephrasing that Supreme Court justice from long ago “ I may not be able to define what manhood is but I know it when I see it”. Slinging guns across your chest ain’t manhood.
So very well put, sir. Are you able to run against this poor excuse for a man? You and I came of age together and I’m still chafing against what society decides is feminine. If Katie Britt is anyone’s role model, heaven help us. But the saddest part of her performance is that she has been a career politician and out of her own kitchen for years scrambling up the power path thanks to the doors which were opened to women by the early feminists. What a tool!
Money, power, and greed, will be the downfall of America! The GQP falling in line to Traitor Trump is my validation! Thank you Jess for providing this information!!
US president Donald Trump has used the song to showcase his newly recovered vitality after his Covid-19 diagnosis at non-masked/non-socially-distanced events in front of an audience packed with homophobic members of suburban Evangelical churches.
Theological disaster Ben Baker probably thinks this'll make him look like RAMBO or at least one of The Expendables, when really, with this new look, he's more apt to be cast as the lead in "Honey, the GOP Shrunk My Penis".
So much to unpack about this guy. Probably didn’t feel loved by his primary caregivers. Learned to repress his emotions early. Desperately seeks out anything to make him feel special and valuable in the eyes of others. Chances are he hates many of the things about himself that he legislates against. He feels out of control so reaches to repress others.
BUT! My understanding of his pathology does not imply that I give him permission to perpetuate the same harm onto others. He needs to do better than was done to him. He won’t though.
Can we find one? Is it too late? He sounds like a walking nightmare 🧟♂️😭😭😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
It is not too late!!! We have until the end of the month.
What district is he in? What area?
I’m sorry ! Your busy I can google that myself
No worries! 160th. Around Neosho
FBI. Put a pin in that.
What brittle, toxic masculinity has brought us. Violence, misogyny, racism.

He’s just a proud little boy with his big guns. Trump thug

Ben Baker 🔥 I’m going to burn that name onto my list……of evil dudes to look out for 👀

Personally, and a tad sociologically, I think he, while posing He, matches and pairs up well with Evangelical baby voice, her.
Their auditions seem to be going well.
It’s either that, or he is auditioning for a Village People pinup calendar.
How’d that catchy tune go in 2020.
Why did Trump sing YMCA?

He’s awfully butch…🤓
What’s happening to kind gentle people in MO that they are not contesting offices.
There is little help in running in rural spaces and they have been basically left to their own devices.
Dems abandoned
I believe he’s from North Carolina. The “good people.”

Did he play Oath Keeper, too, in Ferguson, Pancer and Vixen, on rooftops? What a rack in those antlers he has.

He stands up to the sexual and racist left. Good for him. Stand the net. Block everything. Everything.
