Sen. Josh Hawley's Book Deal CANCELLED

Sad last days! I'm sure he'll be on all the FOX shows whining about being "canceled" by the radical left, of course...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!

Cancel his whole career! He will never be president now.

I had him as a front runner for 2024. Not anymore.

Josh Hawley has released this statement on "the woke mob at @simonschuster"

Have we heard from the Stanford and Yale Law alumni associations yet?

It's as if Milo Y. got into the Senate...

Josh can have a line of MAGA clothing at WalMart. Suit separates in stretch fabric. Mom jeans. Fascist Gentleman's grooming products.

I hate him and his chin.

His demographic can't afford books or fancy Walmart clothing, it would seriously cut into their meth and Mountain Dew budget.

Josh Barro on Hawley's statement:

He is really the whiniest little baby

R5 He's not an idiot, he knows full well the First Amendment applies to government censorship, not a private business choosing whose book they want to publish

Does Hawley think Simon & Schuster didn’t consult their attorneys before canceling his contract? I’d love to see him sue him for “violating the First Amendment” (which is impossible for them to do).

He's going to end up in the not-at-all-lucrative far right echo chamber. GOOD.

Josh looks a bit "special"???

I would love to see this little bitch driven out of politics completely. He can go drive an Uber to support his family if he needs extra cash.

"It's a direct assault on the First Amendment".

I see the former law clerk to Chief Justice Roberts is relying on the ignorance of Trump morons not to know that the1st amendment prohibits the government from infringing on free speech, not a a party to a private contract.

And, it works.

He clearly has a massive sense of entitlement, but he's had a pretty charmed life so far.

Hubris goeth before the fall.

And yes, he whines a lot. Just like Trump.

Oh, if only he'd been able to work the term 'nanny state' into his little cancel culture tantrum!

I used to live in Missouri and prior to Dump, it was always a mix of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, governor, etc. I'm betting now that this has all blown up in Hawley's face, the pendulum will swing the other way there for a while.

Then again, I no longer live there so if they continue voting in GOP shitheads, they deserve what they get.

Or, "cultural Marxism".

Smart.

Cancel all of these fuckers, they are bad for business.

And the saddest thing is that Missouri rejected a perfectly reasonable, intelligent, moderate Democrat, Claire McCaskill for this execrable piece of trash.

This is Harry Truman's old seat. He must be rolling in his grave

I heard him use the word "irregardless" in an interview yesterday. He has no business writing a book.

I heard that, too, r25!

I was floored. And yes, I know it's becoming more accepted but I'll never accept the unholy spawn of regardless and irrespective.

He seems "slow". I've seen absolutely no evidence of his alleged intelligence.

R24 I suspect (no proof here, just my speculation) that Claire McCaskill was also the target of Russian/GOP disinformation spread around on the far left through social media. I heard a lot of people saying she wasn't liberal enough, the kind of crap they were saying about Hillary.

Missouri also elected a dead man (Mel Carnahan, who died in a plane crash) to the Senate because they found John Ashcroft so reprehensible (his wife Jean Carnahan went to the Senate in his place).

I live in Missouri, Josh Hawley has done nothing at this point to turn voters away from him. These people do not like to think.

Disgusting piece of shit.

@toofine in R18's tweet types like a Datalounger! Is that one of you bitches??

Hawley BLEW it!!

He did not abide by the old adage, EVERYTHING THAT TRUMP TOUCHES DIES

As soon as I heard Hawley use the word "irregardless" yesterday, he was dismissed as an idiot.

HarperCollins (prop: R Murdoch) will probably publish it now

nobody wants to read that sack of doo-doo

If you know nothing about the First Amendment, you should not be an elected official.

I want to see Hawley forced to start all over from scratch at age 41.😂

He’s an oily little cunt. Watch him ruin himself 3, 2, 1...

More time for shopping for wine at 2:30 in the afternoon. It’s a shame he chose evil over good, he’s got such an impressive resume.

Pretty sure the reason was his use of "irregardless" and the whole sedition excuse is just a cover by Simon/Shuster.

Fuckin dork.

I'll be forever sick because I thought he was hot, and I undressed him every time I saw him on tv. But he blew it yesterday. Now I wonder if he will blow me to in order to remove all the unseemly thoughts I had. I need to purge them. I deserve it.

R7, maybe he can go ask Milo WhatsHisFace for some advice on what to do when your book deal gets canceled!

Josh Hawley was the co-conspirator of despicable Eric Greitens.

Eric was forced to resign due to his impeachable actions. So should Picasso Hawley.

And Jason Kander taking his seat would be sweet justice. Similar to Jon Ossoff triumphing over David (chicken) Perdue.

When did acting like a village idiot become a (Republican) virtue? Like, honestly. Claiming that his first amendment rights are being violated by Simon & Schuster? Did Milo Y. stoop that low as well (when S&S canceled his book deal)?

Eh Laura Ingrahams shitty publisher will still publish. It’ll sell millions to the MAGA freaks.

Hah! The loss of Hawley's book deal means I can sell more books to the right wing rubes. I've already got my next title in the works: "How Liberals Ruined Donald Trump"

I was looking forward to burning it.

[quote] It’ll sell millions to the MAGA freaks.

MAGA trash reads? Or do they just buy it and use it as wedge for wobbly furniture?

Are we sure the MAGAts can even read?

Hawley isn't going anywhere and he knows it. If nearly half of the voters cast their ballots for Trump, they will vote for Hawley in 2024. The Republican party will back him cuz WINNING. The piece of shit will win in 2024 because he will run against Kamala and ain't no Republican voting for a woman.

R51, I think you're over-estimating HeeHaw's appeal outside of Missouri -- especially after now having blood on his hands and a failed attempt at a so-called 'coup.'

Yeah, Hawley's goose is cooked. There would be endless campaign ads about his inciting a riot on the capitol plus that unfortunate photo of him with fist in the air. And those would just be the ads during the Republican primary.

Likely it’ll have a future publisher under The Pelican Brief editions

This cunt right here.... all the evil sociopathy of Dump but with absolutely none of the twisted "charisma."

i truly truly believe there is alot of hidden dirt on him! no one rises that fast from law school graduate to lawyer to attorney general of their state to senator of said state without a BUCKET LOAD OF SHIT AND UNDERHAND SHIT GOING DOWN!...

Hawley is done. If Simon and Schuster thought there was a market for his book, they'd delay publishing it but not walk away. They publish Hannity and Coulter, who are scum but appeal to a broad swath of the right. I'm pretty sure Hawley has alienated the corporate wing of the GOP for the foreseeable future.

Trump's followers will never support a stiff like him. He really messed-up.

I’m concerned. What does this mean for my book deal?

How will Joshie pay for his moob reduction surgery now?

Does he have big tits?

He certainly doesn't have a big brain.

I want his hideous gross head on a pike!

MAGA freaks don't buy, let alone read, books anyway.

Most of these politician book deals are BS anyways. One company buys the ebook (to give more money to the politiican's campaign), but noone accesses it. IF murdock wants to publish it, then they have to pay to publish it and then buy it. These maga supporters types are not buying books.

Paper copies end up in Free bins and given to Libraries. No one checks it out (plus too many copies), so they try to sell it or give it away.

Josh Hawley, the Loser's Apprentice.

Mentor turns on him.

Guys, I think we're losing the battle on "irregardless".

R67, WOW!

I'll take what r57 and James Carville said about Hawley.

Carville said (paraphrasing) Hawley's done and that he may be viable as a US Senator from MO, but by his objection and remarks after the insurrection, he's killed any notion that, in the future, he's a viable candidate for US President.

I surmise Carville is thinking that during a Presidential campaign, all his Dem opponent has to do is keep that image of his raised fist in solidarity with Trump's insurrector mob front and center.

Speaking of Carville, he always has been a crazy, almost unhinged, brilliant political operative and observer. He offended me for awhile with his opposition to Obama, but I got over it.

He has no fucks to give anymore, says what he's thinking, even when its a negative about Dems, and I'm back to enjoying his "Get offa my lawn!" old guy phase.

I’m heard he’s got massive low hangers and cums like a pornstar!

Mother Jones' Ari Berman:

Josh Hawley is angrier about his book contract being cancelled than at the domestic terrorists who occupied the Capitol.

If Hawley had a James Carville type operative advising him, he wouldn't be in this position today. Unfortunately for him, all the smart Republican politicos joined the Lincoln Project.

R67, brutal!

Hawley is what the parenting style of the well off in America today gets you. The mania to get kids into Ivy league schools, the leadership camps, leadership programmes, leadership seminars, the use of connections to skip over the plebs and take prime jobs long before you have the experience to do them effectively. The importance put on 'success' and 'winning' and 'owning'. Parents who will paying 6 figure sums to get their kids into this world. The people who still call these people 'America's finest families'. The people who still hold the values of these people up as the idea. You get power hungry sociopaths who care about nobody and nothing but their 'success'

They are completely void of ethics, morals and have no sense of personal responsibility. They raise monsters like Hawley. Nobody will stand up to these people and vote in the interests of the majority of us unwashed masses because they also secretly want to be like this. Because they too would sell their souls to accelerate Junior into positions of power no mater the cost to the country if they had the means.

We don't need anymore of these (usually) Right-wingers from money who pop up in jobs they are not qualified for and make everyone go 'how the fuck did that happen'.

R75 supremely well stated.

And every blessed one of them is lily white.

In that photo, he's wearing a black belt with a blue suit!

I mean, really...

I secretly take great pleasure in the fact that this weasel thought this grande stance was fast tracking his career and really put him on the political map as force in the Republican party and it totally and completely blew up in his face the likes of which no one else has ever experienced. His actions perpetuated a national spectacle and embarrassment. I hope Mommy and Daddy are really proud how their very special precious baby boy disgraced himself and stained his political future his very first year in the Senate.

I know he’s a pos BUT he’s so hot.

Sorry

R80 must be a shut-in.

Anyway, Joshie has nothing to worry about. The mouth-breathers in MO will re-elect him. The Republican Party Danforth was a part of no longer exists in that state.

We need no fancy books! We listen to the people who tell us the truth! 🤡

Missouri newspapers call on Hawley to resign.

Hawley won't apologize. KCMO t-shirt maker apologizes for him.

[quote]Raygun Kansas City specializes in trending topics and political commentary. On Thursday, one t-shirt dominated sales in store and online with the text, “Dear America, Sorry About Josh Hawley, Sincerely Missouri.”

[quote]“As soon as we opened this morning they came right in, walked straight to the register and requested that shirt,” said Georgie Bush, the store’s manager.

The story comes from the local Fox affiliate, to which I cannot link.

Womp, womp motherfucker!

Cry harder, snowflake!

So much prefer to rage suck and fuck this hot man over Stephen Miller whose ass probably smells like cat litter. Josh has the sexiest body in the US Senate and probably smells like Dove soap.....

I see he likes those little tiny Pee Wee Herman suits. I would pay someone to just walk up and kick him hard in the balls.

What a magnificent political implosion!

He is grotesque looking, like he had his nose done by Michael Jackson's surgeon. He definitely is a weasel and looks like one. How can anyone find him attractive?

If only he would appear remorseful but he is still super defiant which makes him even uglier. He may be re-elected by the mouth-breathers in Missouri but that's as far as his career will go.

[quote] How can anyone find him attractive?

Desperation.

He has a head like an Easter Island statue.

r80, you are BLOCKED.

Mostly for your fucking terrible taste.

Maybe he can write a prison diary.

R93, he can name his prison memoirs "Irregardless."

OK, but Simon & Schuster still publishes Donald Trump.

And Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and on and on.

They have a whole imprint called Threshold Editions that publishes only extremist right-wing propaganda.

So why did they cut ties only with Hawley?

It looks someone among their own desperately want to kill Hawley fast. Might be Nikky Haley.

The dipshit MAGAtards won't care that John Danforth has denounced Hawley, they probably don't even know who he is (holier than though Republican who helped get Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court). But Danforth has sway with the GOP moneyed/donor class of the St. Louis area. Hawley's time is done, he'll be a one term Senator.

^ Holier than thou ^

Rolling my eyes at his use of "Orwellian."

Great news keeps pouring in after 4 years of shitholery. The Republican Party's days are numbered. Bwahahahaha

It is almost like he lacks the intelligence he claims he has.

[R75] is epic.

I'm so tired of these media types saying "but he's so intelligent, he went to Yale." Um no, you may have been a good student and a kiss ass but you have no sense if you hitched your wagon to Trump. Most people with common sense knew that the Trump Administration would all end in disaster. You can say the same thing about Pompeo.

Let's make no mistake... Mr. Hawley is despicable, but the fucker is smart - and I'm not talking about his schooling.

I know that everyone is up in arms right now, but where republicans are concerned and especially Trump and Trumpublicans... people have short memories.

Joshie wants to fill a potential vacuum. While I'm not convinced that Trump has met his true death this time, but just in case he has... there's Hawley. Young. Not stupid. Not fugly. And he, rightly, sees a lot of Trump voters looking for somewhere to land in case Trump has damaged himself beyond repair.

Republicans, can overlook a great many things.

R104, he actually isn't smart. His craven ambition superseded his patience for higher office.

My only wish is that he went to UVA if only for the thread it would've produced.

[quote]It is almost like he lacks the intelligence he claims he has

Or that he lacks the intelligence his degrees reflect

No exceptional intelligence, just another educated fool.

r98 that donor will have Hawley suck her cock, as in be a good lapdog to be redeemed.

r104, I don't buy the smart argument. I gut that you are trying to sell him as some sly fox but the guy is dumb. He is coming in at the 9th inning on a losing team. Not a bright move.

Tom Cotton is the smart one, but no less despicable.

George Bush went to Yale. He is no Einstein.

W.

If George W. Bush can graduate from Yale, then anybody can.

Too bad his slob supporters would never be allowed within 1000 feet of Yale.

is he being dragged on Twitter or any other social media? I don't have them but I'd just love to hear he's being shredded.

^^He certainly has been quiet on Twitter. His last tweet was whining about his canceled book deal.

Not a peep about the Capitol violence or Trump's social media blackout.

He probably is laying low but we will not forget that picture.

The thing is that guys like Hawley think they are too smart for this world only to realize that pandering to the mouth breathers like the Deplorables is - by now - not even a good short term solution.

Social media doesn't forgive and forget. That picture will follow him around whatever public or political aspiration he has.

Hopefully the outfall for Hawley's significant part in this ordeal will go on for years and eventually kill his political career.

Dubya is a legacy, that's why he got into Yale. He had a C avg in HS and got into Yale due solely to surname, he maintained that avg and got into HBS.

The moment I find out the person is connected or comes from a wealthy family, their intelligence is suspect until I actually hear them and/or are made aware of their accomplishments since graduating. Harvard has so tainted its reputation when you know two Kushners were allowed admission.

The man is sex on a stick and husband material, a rare combination.

Kimberly! You're here!

You're a sick self-loathing cunt R121.

R121 has low standards.

R121 has no standards

R119, man, that image is going to haunt him for the rest of his life.

What are the odds on how soon he'll be crying on camera somewhere blubbering about how that's not what he wanted to happen things just got out of hand?

He resembles the cowboy in toy story

R123, R124 and R125 have not been with a man sexually since the Clinton administration.

[quote]Tom Cotton is the smart one, but no less despicable.

And his reason has nothing to do with his love for democracy and everything to do with knowing a Republican low-life like himself has no chance in hell of winning without the electoral college.

Why is this pissy-diaper baby Republican still holding office? Why has he not been rounded up with the other insurgents?

[quote]I gut that you are trying to sell him as some sly fox but the guy is dumb.

No. I didn't say either of those things. A lot of you are doing what Datalounge always does. You are the same types, who back in 2017, said that Trump would be impeached and removed from office by Labor Day of 2017.

You can bet your bottom dollar that even after all of this, Republicans will still have Trump on the campaign trail for the 2022 midterms. And, unless something isn't done to stop it, Trump will be in the Republican primaries for president come 2023.

And I know that some of you are going to say that he's fat and he's going to die, no he isn't. He will soon have retired president level gold star healthcare for the rest of his life.

For the last 4 years, we have seen the same headline over and over "This is it for Trump -- he won't come back from this". And he has come back every time.

Josh Hawley is hitching his wagon to that train. It doesn't make him smart or a sly fox... it makes him a keen observer of who the American people truly are --- or at least 74.1 million of them.

Seeing how 80+ million of them evidently aren't Trumpers please explain to me how this is smart, R132.

I knew that picture was familiar.

Stanford’s Alumni Association is revoking Hawley’s membership.

May they be the first of many organizations to shun the terrorist.

[quote]Seeing how 80+ million of them evidently aren't Trumpers please explain to me how this is smart, [R132].

Because of the electoral college. And you best believe that PA, GA, and AZ (all with republican controlled legislatures) are already making plans to make it even tougher to vote. Well... PA has a Democratic Governor so he can veto some legislative nonsense.

R132, your post reads exactly like the delusional rantings of trolls who were gloating that Republicans were going to sweep the 2018 midterms in a red wave -- they were wrong.

And then that Trump was going to win 2020 -- wrong.

And then that Repubs would win both the 2020 House and Senate -- also wrong.

Try moving outside of your Trumpian, right-wing echo chamber. But since you probably won't, let's revisit your cocky assertion that a Twitter-less Trump will be the GOP candidate in 2023 -- because you will.be wrong again!

Trump will be in Sing Sing by 2023, not the Republican primaries.

Oh R137, you got me. You figured me out. Big time Trumper here. You fucking dumb ass. Go somewhere and sit down.

[quote]or at least 74.1 million of them

Seven million short.

Call me crazy, but I am REALLY bothered that Simon & Schuster has been universally celebrated for this, it has been reported in every news outlet, and none has mentioned and no one cares that Simon & Schuster is Trump's publisher, Tucker Carlson's publisher, Glenn Beck's publisher, Rush Limbaugh's publisher, and on and on. They have an imprint dedicated to alt-right hate-based books. Why does this not matter to anyone?

[quote] Great news keeps pouring in after 4 years of shitholery. The Republican Party's days are numbered. Bwahahahaha

Oh how I wish you were right, but unfortunately you aren't. Most thought the same thing after Nixon's attempt to corrupt the elections and removal, everyone said the Republican party was done or at least neutered for years to come. Democratic Party Pres Carter got elected in the next election and four years later we got Reagan and twelve years of Republican rule. There wasn't even Fox News, OAN or the internet sites then supporting them like there is now.

Good point R141.

Also VERY good point R142. Scary isn't it?

The GOP probably isn't done but it will be divided into factions now.

1/3 of voters probably approve of Josh's dick move. Another 1/3 are too stupid to recognize his immorality and his cynical hatred for the dumb deplorables he pandered to.

Hell - a good% of the House REFUGS voted in for his bullshit.

Putin and Murdoch have destroyed American minds, which were already ignorant.

Brutal but true:

R6 asked the question. It’s been answered.

Petition to disbar Hawley and Cruz.

Thank you R148

Is it possible to do a resign or be disbarred payola? Or shall we be greedy and expect both?

The misplaced modifier in Rick Wilson’s tweet is enough to disbar him from my beautiful mind.

I was right.

[quote] “Corporate and association PACs in downtown Kansas City have already declared and committed that they will not give any money to him, period—and it’s not this cycle, it’s forever,” one official said. “If this guy runs for dogcatcher, he’s not getting a contribution. He’s dead to them. Expunged from history. These are Republicans saying this.”

Pile on! Pile on! Pile on! I hope he hasn't slept in days and is in a manic state pacing around his McMansion yelling at his butch wife to shut that newborn kid up!!

Cancel Hawley. And Cruz. The 14th Amendment forbids anyone to serve in the Congress who participated in or supported an insurrection against the government. They are ineligible to be Senators. Unseat them. Send them home. Now.

R152, woohoo. This little weasel really thought he was going to pull a fast one! He gambled that his little move would help him leapfrog over other Repubs and into the primary 2024 driver's seat. He lost that gamble.

Did this fool resign yet? What a loser!

Isn’t this fucking mutt a freshman?

He’s got a lot to learn and while I despise McConnell, I hope he chops Hawley off at the knees.

He is serving his first term, R166, but Hawley's ego and sense of entitlement have a combined age of over 2 centuries.

Of course Hawley and Mike Lee were the only two who voted against him.

The publishers are such cynics. It's just business public responsibility indeed. They would have happily published him if Trump were still president.
