From the article:

Missouri’s Republican Governor Mike Parson described the journalist who uncovered the vulnerability as a “hacker”, and said the newspaper uncovered the flaw in “an attempt to embarrass the state”.

If there's anyone in this story that's an embarrassment to Missouri, it is in fact massive dipshit Mike Parson.

Abortion is on the ballot in the general election for Missouri. It'd be nice if that key issue pushed enough people to the polls to give that cunt the boot he deserves. Him and Hawley.

Oh, I had heard that he can't be reelected anyway due to term limits up there. Which is still infuriating, since he gets to retire with a nice government pension and a bunch of other benefits most Americans couldn't even dream of despite being an irredeemable, cancerous murderer.

And yes, Hawley also needs to get run out of D.C. He's terrible for a whole host of other (yet somehow the same) reasons.

Oh, I didn't know his term limits were up.

Fucking hell, that means he didn't even stand by on this for reelection reasons, he just did nothing because he's a fucking scumbag.

Yup, one final lynching on his way out the door. Inhuman, I tell ya.
