The TKC Saturday Night Playlist: Amid Prez Trump Deceit, Let's Not Forget So Many Kansas City Broken Political Promises



For a moment, let's consider political "lies" and the cruel treachery from elected officials that hits closer to home than most voters would dare imagine.

Because Americans love reality TV slap fighting and cheap entertainment from otherwise unsavory people, Donald Trump won the Presidency in a historic upset that destroyed perceptions of mainstream media conventional wisdom but reinforced the age-old adage that voter turnout is key. The converse of the Trump win is that African-Americans, Latinos and more militant advocates of the left abandoned Hillary Clinton and her brand of corporate politics. Nevertheless, governing has proved harder than campaigning and the Trump blitzkrieg has stalled while fickle supporters clearly don't have the temperament to stay engaged in the Byzantine legislative process specifically designed to discourage newbies. Meanwhile, the soap opera in D.C. has kept most Kansas City residents distracted from local duplicity and the litany of broken promises.

Again, it's easy to watch good-looking pundits rage on cable news about the trickery of Prez Trump and the conversation mistakenly seems more important than all of the urban decay and misplaced priorities espoused by local politicos.

Here's a quick Prez Trump round-up for context . . .

Wiretapping claims of the current Administration against Prez Obama have caused a great deal of public embarrassment:

Time: President Trump's Claim That Obama Wiretapped Him Basically Died This Week

Similarly, Trump supporters are coming to terms with the fact that a massive Border Wall between the U.S. and Mexico is nothing more than a Spring Break fantasy and another empty campaign promise . . . In addition to the fact that expecting Mexicans to pickup the check shows an incredible level of naivete regarding real life:

Quartz: Mexicans won't pay to build Trump's wall—they'll get paid

Meanwhile, the wall seems like more of an eminent domain crackdown on Texas landowners and, sadly, the smaller and scaled down wall still won't solve a great many problems associated with illegal immigration.

Finally, the TrumpCare defeat elicits typical allegations of Beltway double dealing and the long awaited establishment Republican double-cross of Prez Trump:

Raw Story: GOP feels betrayed by White House: Trump's 'heart was not in the healthcare battle'

Nevertheless . . .

THE DRAMA OF PREZ TRUMP'S INEVITABLE DECLINE TRAGICALLY SIDETRACKS KANSAS CITY VOTERS FROM SO MANY BROKEN POLITICAL PROMISES IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD!!!

Here's a quick list of local fibs with songs to accompany for our playlist for tonight . . .

KCPD CHIEF FORTÉ CLAIMED HOT-SPOT POLICING, FIGHTING BLIGHT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH WOULD HELP CURB KANSAS CITY CRIME BUT THE LOCAL MURDER COUNT INCREASED DURING HIS TENURE!!!



A tragic aspect of the legacy of the outgoing Chief of Police . . .

FBI report: Kansas City one of 7 cities responsible for national rise in violent crime

Another longstanding gripe . . .

KANSAS CITY POLITICOS PROMISED A PRO-TEAM AT THE SPRINT CENTER BUT INSTEAD FILLED THE PLACE WITH B-LIST CONCERTS!!!



A line worth remembering: "Kansas City knows this story well. A decade ago, city officials sold the Sprint Center to voters as the first move in landing an NHL or National Basketball Association team, neither of which has or will materialize."

Finally, a tragic melody and the real life legacy of Kansas City's signature sound . . .

AFTER MORE THAN 100 MILLION BUCKS INVESTED NEAR 18TH AND VINE, THERE'S NO SUSTAINABLE BIZ MODEL AMID DEMANDS FOR MORE MONEY!!!



Here's How Kansas City Spent $100 Million At 18th And Vine Since 1990

Like it or not, keeping track of so may misrepresentations from local politicos is just as important as criticism of Prez Trump not only because these efforts hit local pocketbooks directly but also given an upcoming vote asking Kansas City residents to double down these endeavors despite a legacy of municipal duplicity.

As always, thanks for reading this week and have a safe and fun Saturday Night.

  1. Politicians lie. That's what they do. The sooner people get used to this fact, the less trouble they'll have dealing with all of the future talk from people who want into public office.

    1. There was once an active and competitive group of journalists who held our politicians and government officials accountable. Sadly, most of these publications were swallowed up by greedy corporate parents who didn't care about the public interest. Now we're stuck with Twitter, Facebook and Tinder which are much more fun. Don't fight it, enjoy it.

  4. ^^^ for the sake of the country. I hope you're right. But he looks like he's running out of steam. He looks tired. Trump has never done this before and he's not good at this part.

    I like the fact that he's doing campaign rallies and still on Twitter. that has always been where he is the strongest.

  5. Never forget whitey: your tax dollars aren't supposed to go to border patrol, national defense, infrastructure spending, or any form of R&D or scientific innovation.

    No. No. No. And a big nope.

    Your tax dollars are to be forever redistributed to ensure black people (and other 3rd world people) live a life of leisure and enjoy luxurious impossible to recreate in an environment of their own doing.

    President's Trump budget proposal, with necessary cuts of nonessential personnel and wasteful programs, is being attacked in the black community. Remember, any attempt at fiscal responsibility is automatically equated with racism.

    The artificial black middle class not only exists because of government jobs (federal/state/local), but the proliferation of the black population in America exists solely because of redistributed white tax dollars scandalously helping augment a racial group nature has never stopped trying to expose as unfit for participation in western civilization.

  6. I hope this is only the beginning of the budget cuts Trump proposes in the future.

    More for military, less for jaboonery!! Gotta love the sound of that!
    He's preparing our military with MORE FUNDING while cutting off funding for the lowly negro. You know what that spells, right? It's coming....

    Blacks declaring war on Trump's budget plan also includes blacks declaring war on YT !! Oh, that's right, they already did that years ago. Ha, sorry negroes, you forget that it's YT's money to begin with, not yours, hahahahah !! stupid retards that they are!

    I declare war on blacks where I speak with my wallet first !!!! Less for y'all, more for me, and rightfully so. I work for my money. You lowly bastards steal and loot it. That's a BIG PROBLEM !!! And I'm happy to see that we elected a president that's finally going to do something about it. Hell, I could care less if more of my money went to the rich than to the lowly negro right about now. Anything to release the cold hard truth of the reality that the lowly negro is not capable of assimilating in a first world civilization. One they could never build, one they could never maintain, one that they simply don't deserve to enjoy off the backs of hard working Americans. One has to go and it isn't this hard working American right here !!!

    Sorry negroes, your time is up. You had your chance to prove your worthiness to mankind.

    You failed.

    Your time is up.

    The TRUMP TRAIN is rolling, and guess who it's leaving behind ???

    "Cues demonic laugh".

    Sorry lowly negroes, you don't even deserve to ride in the back of the bus !!!

    Actually, 11:47, you probably made both comments. Your just trolling hoping that I'll respond so you can tell me how you're more wonderful than I am. So what?

    Every time Tony posts something praising the racist piece of shit named Dave Larsen, I stop reading for a little white in total disgust.

  10. I will not accept any byron bashing! Byron is a welcome featured contributor on Tony's Kansas City!!! His racist views, thoroughly rooted in his 1950s whites-only upbringing, is a wanted and needed voice of diversity! His wild anti-Jewish, anti-White screeds reflect perfectly the kind of audience Tony wants to attract!!!

  15. The sky is not falling.

    The Health Care bill was weak and so are Republicans. The bill dying is the same as the Royals losing the opener. They might be good, they might not be good, but the first conflict is in no way, indicative of the rest of the season.

    Washington DC is a cesspool of career, Progressive parasites and getting a feel for the landscape is part of the nascent need to weed out real enemies and find support amongst possible allies.

    It's just beginning.

  19. 8:46 is sick Suck, with his projecting and fantasizing again. Fumes from the deep fryer at his job at that nasty, blighted niggahood chickenshak short circuits Suck's concentration. Thoughts of blowing his always hard Latino beau at work in the chickenshak, or in the Barry BathHouse at Target, or at school, caused his grease to burn. Dang it, Suck doesn't wanna keep f*©K'n up and lose his "job". His $8 an hour hard Latino already makes more than him.

  22. Tony need to take his meds. He still thinks his Byron alter ego is passing for anything but him trying to fake it. Although there are a few stupid enough that some boon ass in Virginia could actually give a rats ass what is going on in this silly ass blog.

  23. One ridiculously stupid and ignorant thing Trump never said was that Toni Anderson died at the hands of Jackyl da Ripper. The guy that said that has zero cred and really looks like an ass.

  35. Chuck Funkhouser's act is getting stale. Anyone who has a different viewpoint or expresses a thought counter to his is branded a libtard" or a "commie." He fancies himself some sort of a poet or deep thinker but he is neither. In reality he is nothing more than a scared old white man afraid of a world that has long since found him irrelevant and rendered him useless. These cut & paste attacks on everything he fears (change, progress, youth, human rights, decency) are the last gasp of a dying generation crying to be heard as they go gently into that goodnight.
