Think back to around 8 years ago when Kansas City and most of the country was intrigued about the tenure of the 1st African-American President in the nation's history. Even soap stars were posing in their panties to celebrate the hype . . .
Like it or not, it seems like the only people really excited about the upcoming reign of President Trump are a bunch of angry dudes on the Internets.
To be fair, President Trump is a gift to media both social and mainstream.
Accordingly . . .
Here's a bit of conversation from the GOLD STANDARD OF KANSAS CITY DISCOURSE which speaks to this fact of life and a few other local issues . . .
"Mike Shanin interviews Chris Kuehl, Managing Director of Armada Corporate Intelligence, to get a local and national economic forecast for 2017. Then Cynthia Wheeler, Jon Stephens, Woody Cozad and Danedri Herbert discuss Charles Krauthammer's column about the lack of a honeymoon period for Trump, the two tax issues on the ballot in KCMO in April and reaction to Brownback's budget fix proposals."
Take a look:
You decide . . .
How long till the Republican congress turns on Trump?
ReplyDeleteIt's already happening for those who are paying attention.
Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
ReplyDeleteThe Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.
The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.
And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.
The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.
Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.
So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.
Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.
And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.
I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.
I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.
He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.
His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.
He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.
The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;
The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,
AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”
Interesting. I'm glad somebody posted this. It's a viral poem that's has been spreading across the Internets. While it's not "official" . . . There are enough people seem to like it . . . That it might as well be.
ReplyDelete8:45 - you wish. Ain't happening.
ReplyDeleteYeah Tony, 8 years ago we were very hopeful for the Presidency of Barack Obama. Instead of his promised "Hope and Change", we got "No Hope and Change for the Worse". So are we more jaded after getting screwed by this Snake Oil salesman - hell yeah!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best things about tomorrow is ex-president Obama will no longer have the power to use the White House as a weapon to inflict his kind of damage on this country or its people anymore.
ReplyDelete^^^ Now it's Trump's turn to do the same! Sounds like a winning plan to me!

ReplyDelete"GOLD STANDARD OF KANSAS CITY DISCOURSE"?
I wish you were kidding but of course you're not.
A bunch of white, mostly Right Wing and very Right Wing people, led by a Right Winger and they allow a woman and, in this case, thank goodness, one "person of color" on the show, which has been too rare.
If this is our area's "gold standard of Kansas City discourse", the bar is extremely low. If this were a place for people to cool off in the Summer, it would be a child's wading pool. The banter couldn't be more lightweight.
Woody Cozad?
Really?
Because the only thing that matters is getting the perfect blend of colors and genders!
DeleteMo Rage is all butt hurt. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, Obama's "damage on the country."
ReplyDeleteTripled the Dow
Saved the auto industry
Brought us back from the worst economy since the Great Depression, worst in 80 years.
Gas down to $2/gallon
More Americans with health care insurance IN THE HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE NATION
And more
but sure, Obama "inflicted damage on the nation.
Sure he did.

So, like paying tribute to Iran, fumbling Syria, joining in the sellout of the Bernie voters, signing fewer bills into law than one-term Carter....
DeleteI mean, I get that he's your messiah. Maybe not so much for the rest of us. An egomaniac, thoroughly mediocre lame duck.
Maybe that's why the country rejected the left in such colossal numbers--it's because Obama did such an awesome job!
Ah, the derangement of the left. :)
If The Dump's an American, then Pocahontas is a European.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a hint:
Learn to say:"Ja wohl, Mien Herr!"
Ah, Byron. The living embodiment of Godwin's law.
DeleteIf you got them by the balls...hearts and minds will follow. Deal with what you're dealt. Too late for fear. It's an evolution challenge. We're in beast mode.
ReplyDeleteProud day for the nation. Swearing in the most unpopular president ever in modern history.
ReplyDeleteNot according to the voters, princess. :)
Delete2 million more voters wanted Hillary.
DeleteIn California. Sadly for you and her, we do not elect presidents of California.
DeleteGreed is good...it's a new dawn, a new order and we feel it...translucent or opaque. It's going to be an interesting day.
ReplyDelete12:08, "jawohl" is one word, and it's not "mien," but rather "mein."
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Tony. The snowflakes and boons will get all excited over Trump when they find out they are going to have to get a job to eat.
ReplyDeleteusa, the show.
ReplyDeleteRUCKETTES
ReplyDeleteJon Stephens - KC's former Cordish tool at the Power and Light District. Lives by being a blow-up doll for KCMO politicians and Chamber of Commerce types. I wonder if he pays the 1-percent earnings tax on those City Hall consulting contracts or if he claims to do all his work from Prairie Village.
Danedri Herbert - I almost thought she was being shut out of the discussion, when Cynthia Wheeler so rudely kept interrupting her on her first question. But, oh no, this intelligent Conservative woman takes no prisoners, and came roaring back. Good for her!
Cruella de Vil - Good Lord! I jumped in my chair, when the camera first panned to the 3rd Ruckette. Another "consultant", this one is a mean, rude-mannered snowflake.
Woody Cozad - Hell YES!!!! The BEST Ruckus panelist of all time, and once again, he's prepared, thoughtful, polite, and dispensing Truth Bombs to anyone listening with their ears open.
Mike Shanin - Master of the Ruckus Domain
Funkhouser is rich - decrying fascism while employing fascist tactics. I'd say he's a reincarnated Brownshirt, but he can't even correctly write simple German phrases. He's actually just another low-intellect Leftist.
