those clinging to their bumper-sticker-mosaic beetles would be better off giving it a rest and doing something wild, creative, and entrepreneurial for three years. then, they can go all in on warren and have money to donate to her.
ReplyDeleteYeah. The Star subscription department keeps calling me once a week asking for another chance. Trumpo is not going magically change and the Star is not going to get magically better.
ReplyDeleteNeed to cut off taxpayer subsidies to this failing operation.
ReplyDeleteThe country is not really in a gambling mood right now. We're talking a about a casino operator in charge of the nation running the casino economy ... Not good. This is not a game of chance with everything at stake here. The KC Star is asking the public to remain delusional with hope.
ReplyDeleteCasino operators, with few exceptions, make a ton of money 8:36.
ReplyDeleteIf we can't keep our doctors and health plans by way of the greatest fraud in American history, forged by liars, thieves and the former President, maybe we can keep our dealer and our Casino. It sure as fuck would be less expensive and more fun to gamble the money away than to send it to a Government agency who is only interested in redistributing our wealth with NO hope of ANY jackpot.
7:14 Lemme ask ya, will Warren qualify as our first "Native American" president? Fuck yeah!!! Her Campaign Song---CHEROKEE NATION!!!
Ya fuckin moron.
8:49, Sen. Fauxcahontas's campaign song will be (from the musical Annie Get Your Gun) "I'm an Indian Too."
ReplyDeleteLike the Seminole, Navajo, Kickapoo
Like those Indians
I'm an Indian too

I gave him a chance during the election to prove me wrong on what I already thought of him. Epic fail in that regard. No second chances... not that what I think really matters; which makes me just like the star.
ReplyDeleteJan. 30, 1933: Let's give Adolph a chance and see what he can do. What's the worst that can happen?
ReplyDeleteTrump is Harding, Andrew Johnson, Reagan, Nixon wrapped all into one.
ReplyDeletePoor Sore Losers 10:03 and 11:20. Ask mommy to bring your dinner down to your basement room.
ReplyDeletesorry, warren seems more authentic than booker and hillary couldn't win in 2020 either.
ReplyDeleteof course, trump might be unstoppable if he has continued good luck on his efforts.
Editorial: Giving President Donald Trump a chance
ReplyDeleteThe Kansas City Star editorial board
I object to so much of what has been written here, it's difficult to begin my critique. So, let's begin at the beginning.
We're told this editorial is a product of The Kansas City Star editorial board. Well, by my count, there are 7 individuals on this newly constituted board, and I don't see any names listed beneath this editorial title, assuming ownership for these words. Ms. Nelson, are readers to believe that 7 individuals contributed to this short piece? The reason why this point is important, is because The Kansas City Star's policy is to reject any submission from an unidentified author. If Ms. Nelson wishes to indicate that all editorial board members contributed to, or agreed with this "Giving President Donald Trump A Chance", then she should indicate it was a unanimous decision. Please take as an example the protocol used by such groups as The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Supreme Court, and our own U.S. Congress.
Based upon the recent solo writings of board members, I'm convinced at least some of them have not, and will not give President Trump a chance. It's quite clear from their writing that they wholeheartedly supported the candidacy of Hillary Clinton and despised every aspect of Donald Trump, going so far as to propagate blatant lies against him. Of the 7 editorial board members, I'm confident that I can identify at least 5 of the Democratic Party persuasion, based upon their previous work product. Ms. Nelson, do you understand why so many are already disappointed in your newly assembled board, when they'd been led to believe that a more balanced approach was forthcoming?
Now, let's review some of your very words from this editorial, which stand in stark contrast to the notion that your intent is to give President Trump a fair chance:
"President Donald Trump. As improbable as it still seems to read those words, or to write them, they are reality."
"a bleak inaugural speech"
"Many insist Trump’s communication style and ideas are so far outside the mainstream he should be treated as unqualified and illegitimate."
"We saw evidence of the widespread unease about Trump Saturday, when millions of Americans, most of them women, poured into streets and parks across the nation and the world. Their message, delivered in the best tradition of American dissent, was clear: President Trump should not be normalized."
whoever wrote the headline thesis and matched it with a diatribe forgot that they're writing for show-me state midwesterners.
ReplyDeletebe advised, such sophistry won't fly. your editorial board committee designed a chimera and the readers see it instantly.
Did a senior, managing editor review this?
ReplyDeleteIt's a contorted mess!
Yeah right ass holes. Give Trump a chance as Narley Snatcheeze attempts to slaughter him in her next ranting editorial. Fuck You Star clowns.
ReplyDelete2:22 comment Part 3 Final
ReplyDeleteMy fellow readers, The Kansas City Star remains an entrenched advocate for the Democratic Party, and as the editorial above clearly demonstrates, they will only offer sparingly back-handed compliments to President Trump going forward. Upon the announcement of her hiring, The Kansas City Star reported "Colleen said she wants to provide readers with a constructive editorial voice that is “intellectually consistent but not partisan” and that still can be unpredictable." Right out of the gate, this editorial board has failed. They are clearly partisan, and intellectually inconsistent.
I thank the reader for their time.
