Blunt Pro Shops?

Also, come this summer if there's not a dispensary named "Blunt Terminal" I would be sincerely disappointed 😆

You're either a lot older than most people here or your classmate was bsing you. Blunt's local residence has been a condo for decades. Mailbox is indoors.

It was at his house in Strafford

robzilla71173 t1_j0ochvg wrote

I stand corrected. Didnt realize he lived in Strafford now. Sorry, the blunt = bad threads get cringey for me. I'm a research scientist at msu and he's been a huge benefactor to university science research programs throughout his career. His staff have met with Schmitt to try and drive home how important science funding is but I doubt it will help. Sad to say Schmitt and Burleson are going to make Blunt and Long look like benevolent geniuses and both msu and mizzou are going to miss the guy, regardless of how we feel about his politics.

As a sitting Senator that had already decided to retire it was a way for the establishment Republicans in the Senate gain favor. They knew it was likely to pass anyway, and his vote was so that they can now have favor from the Democrats in another vote

If later on Blunt was trying to get reelected for the position then during the primaries his opponents could use it to try and sway the batshit crazy lunatics who actually vote in primaries to vote for them instead

Long story short he didn't vote for it because he's suddenly had a change of heart, it was merely him playing the game for his asshole Republican buddies

Unfortunately he didn't get hit by a passing plane when dedicating the thing, so he's likely going to go become an even wealthier 'consultant' or lobbyist

Trying to remember when he supported Jan 6? I think you're confusing Blunt with Hawley. Whether or not you like him, he's not retiring because he hates being a Senator. He's retiring because he clashed with trump and fell out of favor with Missouri Republicans. Blunt was one of the people denouncing Jan 6 as it was going on, which would be expected since it interfered with his constitutional duty to verify the results of the election and he's a pretty strict constitutionalist.

I'm sure he does. But I don't have a subscription to KC Star so I have no idea what's in that opinion blog. But he's never as far as I know expressed any support for the Jan 6 insurrection or those who carried it out. I'm not sure there was some magical gotcha moment in that blog that would show he did. I suspect if there had been it would have been somewhere more than in a blog behind a paywall.

ash-hole189 t1_j0l6eqo wrote

Blunt must have given both entities money to nail his name on them. The airport terminal or whatever had a vanilla name to begin with, but Temple Hall is legend. I’d be ticked if they removed my name for no apparent reason.

robzilla71173 t1_j0zf1uc wrote

I grew up going to science competitions in Temple Hall. I practically lived there for my pre engineering years and I actually did live there during grad school. And now I work as a scientist at MSU. Not lying when I say this was the first time I'd ever heard of Allen Temple. Not sure it's legend. I would almost guarantee my coworkers here also don't know who he is. We know Blunt because he pushes massive amounts of funding our way for science research and that included about fifty million to double the size of Temple Hall, which is why they renamed it after him. I'll happily eat the downvotes if it means some of you will read this and think about ditching the blanket views of him as anti science because he's a republican. He was literally a science teacher before politics and has pushed billions into science research during his career. I don't agree with his politics, but I'm very aware that he's pro science.

Of course! He should have his own day. Make it a state holiday and give everyone a paid day off. April 20th would be perfect and I can't think of a better way to honor this humanitarian who has done sO mUcH for the people of Missouri. /s

A man comes out of the courthouse and stands on the courthouse steps with tablet in hand like they did in Rome and bellows the following

"Official Missouri Edict forthcoming!

The decree is as follows:

In honor of our GLORIOUS representative, Roy Dean Blunt, and in respect to his most storied and dedicated service to our great state let it be known that all male children born within the province in the year 2023 shall be named "Roy!"
