These community councils are about bringing voices together and working toward outcomes benefitting our communities.”

Jill supports data centers. Don't let her fool you. She is playing the game just for your vote. The group pulling her strings are crooked and very controlling. She will do or say anything to get votes.
Do we know where on the campus?
549, not saying you are wrong, but do you have any proof of her support for data centers?
5:49AM We think you have a severe paranoia problem, is that your disability to stay on the government handout rolls?
All the rebiblican 'small government' voters are about to find out when government is small it is the government of only the rich and powerful.

"I chatted with Jill Carter at the first data center meeting in Sarcoxie, and she said, "I don't get how anyone here thinks I can back a law against data centers when President Trump is all for them." I told her she works for the people of Missouri, not Trump. "

Sen. Carter has done a great job. 10x the work that, do nothing, Bill White did. Now his ghoul wife thinks she should have that seat. Sorry Ghoul, your whole campaign is "Because I'm a Doctor" and that doesn't fly. But, but her campaign manager is Queen Covid Ghoul, Paula Baker. NO THANKS!
8:27AM No, we want "Big Woke, DEI, CRT, Pronoun Shaming - Government", full of Waste and Fraud, where every Somalia Alien in Minnesota can become a Millionaire or every Illegal Alien of the 15-Million that Joe Biden let into our country can get - Free Housing, Free Medical, Free Food, Free Education, Monthly Stipends, Driver Licenses, Social Security Cards, Free Cell Phones - While our Homeless and Veterans cannot get all those Services does that sound fair in the LIBERAL DEMONCRATIC WORLD -
9:36 I was wondering when the anti Democrat, maga was going to spew their only Republicans are perfect agenda. What a joke! Just look at everything happening around you and you still are not able to see the truth. Education would be very helpful for people like yourself, who only view the world through Fox News. A brain is a terrible thing to waste.
9:31 please list for the rest of us, all the wonderful things that you say Jill has done for our area or even Missouri, please. Enlighten the rest of us.
8:27 you are correct. So much for draining the swamp, it seems like the swamp is overflowing with all the maga billionaires and their enablers, along with their entitlements.
936 is what's wrong with America. Bigoted, divisive, and repulsive.
6:26 I do believe that 9:22 has answered your question. Straight from the horses mouth. Trump is definitely pushing for all of these data centers long with his push for AI, so you should definitely believe that his maga cronies, like Jill will jump on that bandwagon too.
She also basically said it on KSN, talking about federal push for data centers. She left the regulation to DNR and said with them regulating she’s “absolutely” in support. She brought up national security, which is bogus because no one is saying data centers should be in China, just that we don’t want them rushed through in a drought prone area with healthy communities like SWMO. Put them in the middle of nowhere Utah for all I care.
People who call women ghouls in anonymous posts are sad and pathetic. I feel sorry for you.
I am a equal opportunity ghoul spotter, I will have you know. So no need for your pity or virtue signaling here.
5:39PM, Stop Lying Demoncrats. Your Party stands for "BIG GOVERNMENT", handing out Hard-Working Taxpayers Money like sand on the beaches. Never Fixing the Problems, just keep throwing Money at it, which is why every Democratic Program has Waste and Fraud in it. Talk about our Educational System, it is ran by the Largest Union in the United States the NEA (National Education Association), which takes Dues and then gives 93% to 97% to its political action PAC for the Democrats - Why do you think we are so far behind the Rest of the World in Education - Missouri Ranks 32 in Education in the United States and the United States ranks 12th globally in education. Because, Demoncrats control the Educational Systems - The throw Money at everything and yet with NO RESULTS - WHICH IS TYPICAL NO PROGRESS, NO SUCCESS, NO NEW IDEAS OR SOLUTIONS!
How many Low-Income Housing Projects have they built in New York, Chicago, LA and across America and all of them are in Ruin and have become the Dumping Grounds for Drugs, Prostitution, Killing Fields, and Homeless - Eventually all becoming Uninhabitable for the People they were built for? Again, this is Typical for Demoncratic, all their Plans, Project, Money Spending, Everything - Turns to 💩💩!
922, seems like she has all of a sudden realized just how much people, even on the right, are against data centers, and is now trying to pretend like she cares...
Kinda similar to how JD Vance was an anti Trumper until Peter Thiel tapped him in to become Vice President. ...And similar to every politician ever in the history of politics.
Cool, glad to have yet more confirmation that nobody on the right, who is actually for the people, will ever hold any office of any significance.
*Insert leftist derp's (who votes for their side's fake politicians every election) very intelligent quip "Ha! someone on the right that is for the people?? how irony! they dont care about the immigrants that come here illegally to cheaply pick my cotton!"...
5:46PM, What you don't want to see is the Facts and Truths! Such simple things but Democrats sees everything as bigoted, divisive, repulsive, and their favorite Name Calling - "RACIST and NAZIS" - when confronted so they pull their Name Calling Cards - yet they do not want to deal with all the Facts and Truths!
Simple Question - Is being an Illegal Alien in the United States a Crime, when it clearly states that this is a Law in our Country - "YES or NO - Dems". It is a "YES or NO" Question with a "YES or NO" Answer - No Shades of Grey - Dems!
Just like it is a Law in every Country in the World, if you enter a Country Illegally it is a CRIME - Punishable, by: Imprisonment, Fines, and Deportation, NOT JUST IN THE UNITED STATES - READ AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND! Yet, your own a Sleep-At-The-Wheel, Autopen Joe Biden - Let into our Country 15-Million Illegal Aliens - Should he be Prosecuted, along with Obama, who let in all the Somalians, Obama Deported more Illegal Aliens than any other President - Named the "Deporter-In-Chief"? How does this Make Any Sense - Oh Yea it is - DEMOCRATIC LOGIC. Azz-Backwards!
Yet, Paid Democratic Protestors, who call themselves "Peaceful" continually have tried to "KILL and Runover", Law Enforcement Officers for just doing their Jobs! What does say about the Lunacy and Ignorance's that run deep in their disturbed minds.
This is just A-Typical Behavior of the Democrats - Because they do not want to Follow the Laws of our Country - So are these Democrats - ANTI-AMERICANS - Because they want to: Not Follow the Laws of the United States and Stir the Pot and Push Racism, when they cannot deal with the Facts and Truths?
642, 815, and example of a rotten magat rant that when spoken loudly and obnoxiously with CAPITAL LETTERS, is supposed to grab the attention of conspiracy loving other magats into oblivious fealty to their orange king. To the rest of us, it's nothing more than a steaming pile of horse💩💩💩 predictabley cut and pasted repetitively for some time now.....Boring
News Flash! The orange fuhrer is now standing at near 29% approval!
Calling names and telling lies is all this tRUMP loving, boot licking loser has.
No answers for bootlikkker's questions.
11:01AM We did not see any Leftist Liberal Demoncrat, Woke, DEI, CRT, Pronoun Shamer - Answer the Simple Question Asked: Because they cannot handle Simple Facts and Truths - - That is Part of being a Demoncrat - No Ideas, No Solutions, Always Spend Hardworking Taxpayers Money, Call Everyone "Racist and Nazis", Never Follow the Laws, and NEVER ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS, BECAUSE IT TELLS HOW DUMB THEY REALLY ARE!
Is being an Illegal Alien in the United States a Crime, when it clearly states that this is a Law in our Country - "YES or NO - Dems". It is a "YES or NO" Question with a "YES or NO" Answer - No Shades of Grey - Dems!
The bootlikkker's questions aren't worth the time of day.
Shouty commenter is shouting again.
No one cares.
No one will waste their time to answer their shouty RWNJ talking points.
Democrats - Simple Question - No Answers! Do you believe in Laws, when someone breaks the Law are they Committing a Crime in your eyes - or does it vary, because all you see is grey areas and never the Facts and Truths? And you wonder why you LOST the last elections, because the Dems tried to cover up a person with an unsound and feeble mind and they were too Arrogant and Ignorant and so they sent out Plan-B, who Spent More than $1.5 Billion Dollars, a Record Amount, on Concerts, the Hollyweirds, and Ice Cream Socials in 15-weeks! Again, No Plans, No Solutions, No Ideas - Just Spend Money - with No Course or Direction - Typical Demoncrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jill will have to fake it on data centers and then quickly pivot her campaign to fighting trans athletes registering to vote in bathrooms!
No one cares.
Stick your RWNJ talking points back where they came from. Or stick them where the sun don't shine.
PPPP will never understand! I WILL NEVER READ ANYTHING LONGER THAN TWO SENTENCES AND I WILL NEVER READ ANYTHING THAT USES CAPITOL LETTERS!!! LOVE IS LOVE!
It's always fun when the paint lickers say things like "illegal immigration is a law in every country" or "every other country has closed borders".
Also the pointing fingers a Democrats is always funny in a sad way. The fact that we still have people rooting for any political party is proof of how far we've fallen as a society.
Would you rather our data be stored in Missouri or China?
It is comical for Senator Carter to talk about the importance of property rights and support her Marxist attempt to prevent property owners from building a data center on their own land. She says top-down decision making seldom works. Yet, she is proposing her, and other politicians have the right to plan and direct the economical and property affairs of private citizens, just as Karl Marx suggests.
She knows if she uses with the Democrat Socialist of America attack on data centers assume complete authority of that industry she can expand the power throughout the economy. She knows the data centers are fundamental to the modern economy and America's technological leadership. Either we will build them or outsource or security and technological advances to other countries. Senator Carter and other politicians understand this.
Opposing corporate welfare and supporting environmental regulations are very different from using government power to ban a type of business over populist propaganda spread by the DSA.
Carter is worthless. Her state representative running partners are worthless. All puppets for popularity.
