To wit . . .

As always, this list has been compiled according to scientific TKC polling and market research data and it's a weekly comprehensive guide to local powerful people.
KC has a lot of work to do. But more money for bars and luxury apartments isn't the way we're going to move forward. That should be the theme for this week.
ReplyDeleteThe British have shown us the way. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the Northland who want to make a KCxit.
ReplyDelete^^^^ You do realize that Trump didn't even know what the Brexit was 3 weeks ago and he can't really explain it now? The guy is a flake, KC does not support him. KC is more in line with those who want to crash the Democratic convention for Bernie!

Will not vote for Kander or Chastain's plan.
ReplyDeleteNO thank you.
What about the choo-choo? It was a bad week, no Obama money. Too bad.

ReplyDeleteBrits voted to leave the EU, but go ALL IN for Lucy Pinder!!!!!!!
11 pm Friday night, didn't do's shoot'en it up! Dem Democrats has my vote!
ReplyDeleteWhite men talking about who white men are going to vote for demonstrate their lack of understanding that the election is already over, & why! If every white man voted for Trump, he would still lose. Your micro-country may be white, but America isn't.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone think that Black Men & Women will vote for Trump, or Asian Men or Women, or Latino Men & Women. Romney got almost none of these votes & he wasn't as insulting to these voters as Trump is.
This election was over when Trump said he was going to build a wall.
Bad week for KC Bernie supporters. Such a shame that they won's both with Hillary. The GOP won't like it but we'll vote for Trump.
ReplyDeleteOxygen deprived in the birth canal^
ReplyDeleteGB is sliding towards a recession and only a prick like Trump could consider it a beautiful thing.
It will be fun to watch him try to walk another position back.
@904, he did not know what Brexit was 3 days ago.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter if Bernie's supporters vote for Trump, or not. Brexit doesn't matter. Money doesn't matter. The media doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what white men say, or do. Why is that so hard for everyone to understand? The discourse is dominated by whites, but everyone gets to vote. Demographics have already determined the result. The Republican Establishment knew this going in. Rebelling against them doesn't matter. You needed to be inclusive, & you could not bring yourselves to do this. In fact, you doubled down on your rhetoric of exclusion.
ReplyDeleteIn 2017, we will have a Democratic President. The Democrats will control the Senate, & maybe even the House, & She will pick one, & possibly two, Supreme Court Justices. We will have a Liberal Supreme Court. Until the Republicans learn to tell the xenophobes & misogynists to be quiet, & let the adults speak, there will never be another Republican President.
Demographics.
Alonzo the Fag, should still shut the fuck up!
ReplyDeleteDo ppl live in that abandoned warehouse that the westsiders saved, because no one else is getting moved out.
ReplyDeleteWestsiders only won if your consider eroding the tax base and ensuring that the only new resident of the Westside are millionaires who tear down single family houses and build huge modern-style mansion instead of normal middle and working class people who rent apartments.
Trump says Brexit is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYou bet. GB is accelerating towards recession, and Scotland will be separating in the next 12 months.
Trump explains how it will help his Turnberry Course.
Can one fucking reporter ask the question, "how will isolationist trade policies impact EXPORTS?"
The lack of objective understanding about global economics 101, will result in Trumpkins following this numbnutz off a friggin' cliff. Instead of leveraging the morass that GB will go through for the next few years, Trump suggests we follow the SAME DAMN COURSE.
My parents were political opposites and I remember the arguments. But they disagreed with at least a fundamental understanding of the issues. We have a R candidate that actually is selling a belief that we can walk back out economy to the 1970's.
"Air deprived", funny, but true.
Bill Lacy of the Dole Institute of Politics, William B. “Bill” Lacy. Director wbl@ku.edu (785) 864-4900 seems to lacks integrity. Honoring SERIAL RAPIST Bill Clinton.
ReplyDeleteYeah lets continue to show our ass and bad mouth Trump. The guy who wasn't going to make it through the primaries. WAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDelete"Kander Champions Military Service Record Over Blunt Talk Against Radical Islam"
ReplyDeleteSo what is his military record? Was he a cook. a driver. a clerk?
There are enough uneducated white men in the R party to win the nomination in a divided field.
ReplyDeleteDemographers already know the outcome of the general election.
Rebrexit is already picking up steam. I wonder what dumb ass position he will take when that gets crammed up his ass.
I guess he can use another conspiracy theory.
What is similar between the two issues, is the lack of knowledge that most of the anti-establishment rubes from the GB counties had about the consequences of the exit. They match up well with the Trump xenophobes.
