Kansas City Immigrants Celebrate Power Of SOMEWHAT Peaceful Protest!!!

Pitch Stays Feisty Despite Cutbacks And New Monthly Publishing Schedule
The Pitch is becoming more of a magazine and not a newspaper . . . Problem is, not a lot of people will notice either way.
And so, even after this week of love afterglow . . . We still have a fondness for this cowtown despite or maybe because of its many faults . . .
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.
Trump deserves a mention for the way he slapped down the media at his press conference. Showing us all how it's done and who is REALLY in charge!
ReplyDeletePutin?
DeleteLove the Pitch and I hope they can stay afloat. We need them now more than ever now that the falling Star is working for Sly.
DeletePutin hacked Hillary's charisma!! And hacked the Chiefs during the playoffs!
DeleteChuck Todd, what an imbecile. Caught taking instructions straight from the DNC, and he dares to stand on the demolished credibility of legacy media?
Trump didn't "smack down" the media (they called him on his lies), he merely demonstrated that he is unfit to be President.
ReplyDeleteHow can you watch that news conference & not cringe?
He has an eighth grade education.
The only reason Forte is chief is to amass personal wealth. The amount of money he will receive for accumulated vacation and comp time will be staggering. The media needs to look into this now!

ReplyDeleteHey Byron Funkhouser.... Trump did in fact smack down the media, Trump hates the media and whether you or they think he is lying is a matter of opinion. Trump was called down on one thing that was trivial and he accepted it.
He has more than an eighth grade education, so it looks like you are the one lying.
"Kansas City University Ready To Demolish Historic Northeast." Histrionics aside, KCU wants to tear down some old, unoccupied and largely unoccupiable buildings and put something newer and nicer in their place. Sounds like a good deal to me.
ReplyDeleteMan Funkenshyster, that Alzheimers must be a bitch when it comes to hallucinations.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason the apartment buildings are unoccupied is because the university insisted they be vacant before the purchase took place. They are in excellent shape and could be reused easily. The notion that they are rotting was created by KCU.. not by reality. KCU is NOT a good neighbor anymore.
ReplyDeleteByron D. Funkhouser, a German liberal, democrat, proven liar who loves the Nazi word along with, redneck, idiot, moron, racist, bigot, extremist, right winger...need I say more?
ReplyDeleteGotta love these so called institutes of higher learning. They are gonna teach themasses to turn libtard and go out and conquer the world while they mooch to survive. Fucking genius.
ReplyDeleteHow the hell did lying Byron watch anything? He's blind remember !
ReplyDelete11:28 B'LieRON can't keep all track of his many lies! He broadbrushes whitey, muddle-class, European heritage, and everyone not simpleton identity politics!
