THE TKC SATURDAY NIGHT PLAYLIST!!! KANSAS CITY DOUBLE-CROSS!!! QUINTON LUCAS AGREES OUR KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY SHOULD BE IGNORED!!!
In the realm of politics, nobody has ever been able to depend on Quinton Lucas.
Far more important than the DUI bust he was able to weasel out of . . . In his work as a councilman he has flip-flopped on the airport, engaged in an embarrassing amount of double-talk, broken agreements with other council members, danced back and forth with Mayor Sly on one issue to the next and equivocated on some of the most basic municipal issues.
Like most lawyers and college academics, he overthinks EVERYTHING.
Here's one more example out of many that involves the denizens of our blog community.
Before most local media outlets, our AWESOME TKC BLOG READERS noted that Quinton Lucas was not a "professor" but a lecturer of law at KU. We posed the question via Twitter and then Council dude Lucas diffused any controversy with a simple reply. No big deal.
BUT THEN . . .
A plucky Kansas Democratic State Committee dude got on his high horse and denounced the exchange of ideas based merely on the same kind of online chatter which appears on every platform including Twitter.
Here's a look at the typical partisan hypocrisy:
"Tony's Kansas City is a disgusting cesspool of a blog, filled with racist, homophobic invective from its commenters. I understand why he responded, but I wish @QuintonLucasKC had just ignored them, as we all should do."
Like most faux outrage from partisan hacks of every ilk, the comment was cowardly, myopic and biased. The irrational committee dude ignores the fact that he's calling out TKC comments from Twitter -- A billion-dollar Internet company that is on the forefront of defending hate speech.
Even worse . . .
To add insult to injury, Quinton Lucas agrees that our blog community should be ignored and responds "true" to this hysterical political blathering.
And so, after a great deal of thought, we contend . . .
TIME AND TIME AGAIN QUINTON LUCAS DEMONSTRATES A LACK OF COMMITMENT AND FORTITUDE IN HIS SO-CALLED POLITICAL IDEALS!!!
He's more than happy to play nice with TKC and then rush to affirm the vitriolic condemnation against the very same blog community he engaged with and answered . . .
More to the point . . .
CLEARLY, QUINTON LUCAS IS A HABITUAL KANSAS CITY DOUBLE-CROSSER!!!
There's nothing inherently wrong with this, all politicians (and people) are liars.
The problem with Quinton Lucas is that his double talk is so blatant and couched as mindful consideration rather than just typical Kansas City political malarkey that's been a part of the discourse since river city was founded and/or from the dawn of humankind. Quinton Lucas so desperately wants to be a nice guy but as a lawyer & a politico; He picked the wrong career path for that . . .
Which brings us to the ultimate question:
IS JOLIE JUSTUS MORE (MAS) MACHO THAN QUINTON LUCAS?!?!
As enlightened souls we realize that machismo is nothing more than a social construct. Both men and women can display traits of fortitude, bravery and steadfast resolve -- Characteristics that our blog community admires in leaders from every demographic and political viewpoint.
And so, all of this merits the consideration of our blog community and voters throughout Kansas City accompanied by our pleasant evening playlist dedicated to the mistaken idea that anyone can come out of this silly season clean by faking nice guy tactics:
As always, thanks for reading this week and have a safe and fun Saturday night.
Would rather have Quinton Lucas give a considered viewpoint than Jolie Justus doing whatever her bosses at the Chamber tell her.
ReplyDeleteThink about it.
Quinton Lucas is a thinker, nothing wrong with that at all.
DeleteAre you saying going both ways is not as good as going the wrong way? Interesting, I guess politics does favor someone who shows some commitment.
DeleteThere's only one part of this that's relevant to the election, that's the subject of the airport. There's no denying that Jolie has always been a new airport advocate since day one. Quinton waffled back and forth but eventually came on board. You can argue that Mr. Lucas raised some good questions and maybe helped get KC a better deal with his thoughtful position. But voters don't remember negotiations, they only count victories. On this subject, the advantage goes to Jolie Justus.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a good place for me to apologize to you for the hate I've sent your way for, mostly, just being you.
ReplyDeleteLike the Committeeman I have at times been "... cowardly, myopic and biased."
Some commenters offer "...racist, homophobic invective ..." is true, but I try to 'call them on it' on the worst, while ignoring most. You know how I feel about the pictures, but I suppose they do represent pop culture as you maintain. Again, you being you.
But, this blog gives me a voice, if only in the comments; a place to pin down my thoughts on a myriad of topics.
Thank you for this forum!
I like that Quinton thinks things over again and again. That is a bonus and not a negative. We want a smart mayor.
ReplyDeleteWell, all I can say is N.M.N.M.
ReplyDeleteworry not the clothing of the stuffed democrat, he doesn't mean it, he retweeted a primary philosophy of your blog:

I feel like people who genuinely want the government to do more should care the most about not turning existing government projects into a trough for consultants and actually try to make them work.
troughs are often caused by bad ideas.
ReplyDeleteand political pandering.
ReplyDeleteI get why Matthew Calcara is disgusted by racist, homophobic invective, because Quinton is colored and homosexual.
ReplyDeleteLets see the post was about Lucas and along comes Byron the petersucker trying to make it all about him. Byron sure got friendly all of a sudden once someone mentioned filing charges on him. Guess what Byron, that hasn't gone away I know that for sure. As for what Lucas thinks of TKC I could care less, Quinton has no room to talk about anyone else. Lucas was guilty as charged and the same as that no count football player Hill he should be forced to pay the piper and face his charges. The local media should be ashamed of themselves along with a certain Kansas Democratic State Committee dude for not forcing the release of the police videos showing Lucas upon his arrest. While TKC may have a couple of jerks on here who post the same crap all the time there are way more people commenting who denounce the actions of those in charge at City Hall. Sure they want people to ignore TKC where the truth is seen way more than you will see it on any local broadcast or in newsprint.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post for tonight. I think that it's true that politicians have to be versatile in their approach to issues. Quinton being conscious is not always a negative. I think that Jolie not showing any remorse for how the airport was handled is not a good sign of what her Administration would be like.

ReplyDelete11:42 Petersucker, I'm not aware of any recent, empty threats. Do you mean NaziDsve, who has threatened before, while he never revealed his friendship with Mark Squitiro, which I consider cowardly dishonest? Did you read his comments on the wave of refugees? If you sound like a Nazi, I'm going to say so.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the ones who spout the racist, homophobic vitriol, plus your childish, ongoing naming of Ms. Baker as Petersucker. So, I'm taller than your high horse.
You are a hypocrite.
TKC should be "ignored".
ReplyDeleteAnd yet they all read and comment on its content.

ReplyDeleteOne thing we all know to be true is that if Q Lucas wins the election nothing is going to change in KCMO. Bloody homicides will litter MLK and nearby areas while lack of affordable housing is blamed on the cause. Meanwhile Q will be getting pegged by union bros at city hall while water mains keep going off downtown.
ReplyDeleteBut hey...he’s a brotha with a nice smile. A little on the uppity side but that’s ok. He kind of reminds me of a local Obama in that sense.
12:40 But, that's the problem. The same could be said for Justus.
ReplyDeleteIt may look like you have a choice (gay/straight, male/female, white/black), but you don't really have a choice, or as we say in chess circles, it's 'for choice'.
I think it's very sad; the slow motion train wreck will continue.
P,S. to Petersucker, tell you friend to hurry. I'm not getting any younger or healthier.
ReplyDelete🚔🌹🚔🌹🚔🌹🚔🌹🚔
ReplyDelete💋🚔💋🚔💋🚔💋🚔💋
ReplyDeleteFunkhouser get on some meds you're one scary out of control person.
ReplyDeleteWTF is Mark Squitiro? Is that some kinkly sex thing you and your welfare scamming ole lady like to do?
Guess what stupid, your brother had a lot of friends if thats who you're talking about and why would they have to tell you squat? I doubt you have or ever had any friends so that should speak volumes about you. My second question is WTH is a Nazi Dsve?
Funkhouser your a pest, you don't live around here you're not liked so how about just going away if all this is more than your mental midget brain can deal with. You're only relevant in your irrelevant head. When I see what Byron has said it reminds me there is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths or acting like they are on a either binge.
Byron is a sad man child. He lives in a shit house in West Virginia with zero friends waiting for his and his wives monthly gift of our cash. He is old and nuttier then a Payday bar. He should be in jail for his fraud.
ReplyDelete@1:46;Why should there be any hurry? The suspense is way more than you can handle.
ReplyDeleteVery insightful and thought provoking post. Good job Tony.
Lot is at stake in this vote. Basically a question of KC going bankrupt or not.
ReplyDeleteNot that it will sway my vote, but is Lucas really gay or is it just something he’s been labeled with? It looks like if he was, he’d use it to appeal to the gay voters.
ReplyDeleteIN spite of all of that, Lucas is, by far and away the bestest choice to be Mayor. If he loses, God help KCMO.
ReplyDeleteIt will not matter who is elected as the new captain of the Titanic the city will be bankrupt as the powers to be do not know how to say no. The council does get a small amount of credit for postponing BikeWalkKC’s ridiculous proposal.
ReplyDeleteThe new mayor and council need a plan and need to stick to it and not let developers dictate what the agenda/narrative will be. Sadly this will not be happening and obviously repairing failing infrastructure will not be part of the plan. Slie has ensured his failing direction will continue.
The LAST free speech, maybe in fuckin America, here on TKC.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it while you can.
Byron is a libtard and when his b.s. gets slapped down like it always does he screams racism, I’ve only seen the truth spoken on here. Except when he talks that is. He cant handle any truths spoken so naturally he trashes and threatens people, and he claims his party is of honesty, truth and non violence, sure it is bLIEron, sure it is.
ReplyDeleteThis is for you bLIEron, bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron Petersucker bLIEron, you two are the worst humans on earth.
TKC shines a light on dishonesty, corruption and incompetence in elected officials and narcissistic politicians who don't do anything but campaign don't like that.
ReplyDeleteLoves to be in front of the cameras and work the crowds.
ReplyDeleteA perfect choice for our next Weak Mayor.
He is much cuter than Justus.
ReplyDeleteI will suck his titties.
Quite honestly there is something about Lucas that isn't pleasant. Something evil lurking behind that pretty face. Sadly I'll have to vote for him because of the other option.
ReplyDeleteWell Matthew move to the Middle East where you get beheaded or thrown off of buildings for being gay then come back home to the U.S. and explain to us how deadly debate, argument, dialog, and discussion is.
ReplyDeleteMove to the liberal gay and lesbian mecca San Francisco Matt.
ReplyDeleteYou won't have to be around or be surrounded by cowboys, cattlemen, red necks, straights.. etc.
Tony, even for you this is a rambling blather of nonsense. I understand you trying not to pick sides, but the two recent posts on the candidates were odd.
ReplyDeleteThis is cesspool blog that should be banned!
ReplyDelete^^^ Is that you Tipper?
ReplyDeleteWell looks like his plan to deal with Landlord/Tenant issues is to raise taxes for his lawyer friends benefit. So that is cleared up.

Quinton Lucas Retweeted KC Tenants
Called the landlord company. Appears they have all calls going straight to voicemail. Left one. Will let you know if call returned. This incident is another reason why we need Housing Trust Fund that can support more legal services, mediation & tenants' bill of rights.
^^^ Oh yeah let's let local government take charge of and control everyone's lives.
ReplyDeleteI bet that will go over just swell.
Quinton Lucas...."anyone can come out"....haha, good one!
ReplyDeleteEven prior to Lucas joining the City Council, based upon TKC's writing, I always felt that he gave Lucas the benefit of the doubt if not some favoritism.
I guess this post puts an end to that for good.
A similar situation was the case of the Panders constant fawning over media in an attempt to sway favor with their reporting. Of course, it was all a short-term effort to advance themselves up to the next ladder rung, whereupon they would jettison the hacks once they were no longer useful to them.
Years ago, some who comment here correctly pegged Quinton Lucas as a slightly modified version of Sylvester James. In fact, I believe Lucas previously stated that James has been a friend and role model since before he entered politics.
KCMO can't win with a choice between Lucas and Justus, as they're both highly defective individuals.

ReplyDeleteBefore he recanted the statement, Quinton Lucas initially claimed that his twin brother Winton was the one charged with DUI in Lawrence!!!
no one cares about a DUI and what his face aint wrong
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a baby vulture.
ReplyDeleteMark Squitiro is a piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteIf he has any friends they are probably sons of bitches, too.
After our mother took him to college, that night Dad ordered pizza, & we had a party celebrating the monster leaving home.
