This year Kansas City's faith in Democracy has been put to the test as stores boarded up before the election and there was little confidence in the peaceful transfer of power.
Now it seems there's a bit of light on the horizon during the "dark days" of Winter and we have hopeful news to report.
Worry about the weekend "pitchfork protest" was overwrought and it seems that there's not a great deal of will to contest election returns in the metro.
Despite overwhelming Prez Trump support and parades before the election, locals haven't been inspired to take to the streets given a GOP sweep in Missouri & Kansas and electoral votes slated to support the current Prez win or lose.
Sadly, the local chill is contrasted by raucous protest across the nation.
Street Fight 2020Violence flares in Washington as far-right Trump supporters clash with counter-protesters
Violence has broken out in the streets of Washington DC after far-right groups clashed with counter-protesters in the aftermath of a march by conservatives protesting against US president-elect Joe Biden's election victory.
Protest Gunfire
One person shot at a violent protest in Washington state
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Police in Olympia arrested one person Saturday afternoon following a shooting at a violent protest between two heavily armed groups near the Capital building. The Thurston County sheriff's office confirmed the arrest but didn't immediately release details.

Talker Threat?!?!
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones accused of inciting violence after saying Biden will be removed 'one way or the other'
Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has told a Trump rally that president-elect Joe Biden will be removed "one way or the other" leading to calls for the Secret Service or FBI to investigate him for attempting to incite violence.
Outrage Across USA
Violence Erupts At Pro-Trump Rallies In DC And Washington State
Encouraged by President Trump's dangerous rhetoric of refusing to accept the results of the election, his supporters - including far-right groups - rioted on the streets of Washington, DC and Olympia, Washington, on Saturday night, resulting in violence, injuries, and multiple arrests.
Talk Of Treason
Pro-Trump protesters rally for a coup: "We're not going anywhere"
Supporters of President Donald Trump demonstrated against the results of the 2020 presidential election on Saturday, in a series of rallies that underscored the hold the president retains on backers both within and outside the Republican Party.
And so . . .
As the electoral college meets tomorrow and Joe Biden will unquestioningly become The Prez-Elect . . . We can only hope KCMO maintains our chill and finds peace amid the holidays.
Too cold to protest, Kansas City would rather slurp soup!
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteTrump don't love you.
ReplyDeleteSorry.
Biden don’t love you.
ReplyDeleteSorry
There is violence when ordinary protestors are attached by ANTIFA Useful Idiots.

ReplyDeleteWho was it that laughed when I said Gov Chomo ? Pays to have the Washington inside vs just type on blogs. LOL ! Keep typing Cupcake warriors
ReplyDeleteAttached how? glue, tape, bungee cords, how?
ReplyDeletePeople in KC are too smart to get fooled and protest. They don't believe in Cuba, Venazula, Chavez, Soros, the CIA, Dominion Voting systems, Democrats in voting locations, China, Russia, North Korea smuggling votes into the USA on boats etc. We are alot smarter than that here in KC. I voted for Trump and can see that Biden won fair and square. I dont like it. But no politician is promised continued terms. We will go on and the USA will survive. Not worried.
ReplyDelete^^^
DeleteAnd we have a winner for an actual thinking person on this blog. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteLets get something straight about the far right violence. It was the far left who stabbed a protester and the protesters beat the crap out of him while the other ANTIFA and BLM chickens hide behind the police they wanted to defund. If Joe Biden becomes the President elect there will be no peace Kansas City included.
1:31, it’s called sarcasm; look it up.
ReplyDelete@4:58, when you're trying to be sarcastic and accidentally type what you know to be true, it's called a "Freudian slip".
ReplyDeleteBiden win? I can accept that? Biden get 82 million votes? Beat Obama by some 13 million? BS
ReplyDeleteToo many anomalies. A guy can win the lottery once, maybe twice. But when they win it 6 times in a row, something's rigged. EVERY SINGLE "glitch" went one way? I'm not an idiot.
Well, the proven Russian hacking probably had something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteBut you're most probably right, there certainly seems to have been Election Fraud.
There's no way Trump could have gotten more than 25% of the Popular Vote after the damage he's done to this Country.
Yeah sure..., Obama won around 680 precincts and Joe only won around 480, but hey! - just because Joe got 13 million more votes, there is nothing to see here!!! Move along!!
ReplyDeleteCause, you know, we Americans are so stupid, we won't NOTICE.
^^^ You forgot to mention all of the Republican precincts that voted Republican, except for Biden. That always happens, right? Especially in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteThose voting machines from Dominion are fine! Come on man!!!!
ReplyDeleteWho are you going to believe? Democrats and the media who ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH (Russian Collusion) or, those stupid deplorable conspiracy theorists in the middle class who never go to the Hamptons?
Where are they? Anything that obvious would have been the evidence that all of Trump's lawsuits failed to present. They wouldn't have been tossed out or be so laughable if they hd proof of something like that.
ReplyDeleteOr is this something that Breitbart put out or you read on Parler, with all the reliability and reality that that implies?
"KANSAS CITY ESCAPES ELECTION 2020 PROTEST VIOLENCE SO FAR!!!"
ReplyDeleteDAMN!
Another failure in Trump's "Stable Genius" Master Plan.
Where are the BoogerLou Boys of Kansas City, were they ALL invited to tour the White House?
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't they out protesting their Second Amendments Rights?
7:27 "evidence" means nothing in a totalitarian, one party system that controls so called - Law Enforcement.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no reckoning, just like there will be no consequences for the Red Chinese taking over Hong Kong.
All the squalling over China is going to have to stop now that the membership lists of the Chinese Communist Party have been leaked, and it has become public knowledge the Deutsche Bank, the primary source of financing for Donald Trump, both his Presidential Campaigns and the Trump Organization itself, are managed bu CCP members.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, Trump is owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
Geesus, still hung up on the numbers huh? Let me tell you why the numbers were off the charts. Cuz you have Trump supporters, who are loud and vocal and those who can't stand the guy. There's a lot of them and they were motivated. It's that simple. Trump is a very polarizing figure. And polarizing figures lead to large reactions.
ReplyDeleteThere is a large contingent of Republican voters who were willing to vote Democrat on the POTUS ticket because they don't feel Trump is a Republican POTUS. They voted Republican down ballot. Pretty simple. It reconciled their Republican conscious.
People will stop doing Trump's bidding. The rarest crime in the USA is group civil unrest. People will stop doing it pretty quick. People have no jobs, no money, its cold outside. Once they get a huge stimulas check from Biden admin then all will be forgiven. Its all about getting something and feeling like the government knows you exist.
ReplyDeleteIn 2 months no more protests.
9:03 what a fuckin lie.
ReplyDeleteViolent MAGATS are chomping at the bit to put their guns into action. They’ve telegraphed their murderous plans for months yet the Fed stands by and does very, very little.
ReplyDeleteDo trumpkins realize that Hugo Chavez has been dead since 2013? And yet he still manages to rig an election in the US in 2020? He's better than Houdini!
ReplyDeleteProve it 11:29. Oh wait, you can't fucking prove it because the only proof you have is what some orange hued fat diaper wearing dipshit with a dead ferret on his head tells you. Unfortunately he also happens to fucking lie.....A LOT.
ReplyDeleteYour cult leader lost, get over it and get on with your pathetic life. And go get yourself some fresh razors so you can start removing Trump stickers from all your shit.
No honey! No! No Honey! I just know in me bones that North Korea counterfited millions of ballots, loaded them on a fishing boat at night, floated them to the east coast (the west coast is much closer) and then gave them to communists who took them to be counted for Biden. It was a long trip as they have to go under Africa to make it to the Atlantic. But I am sure a movie will be done about their gloroious trip and they were well rewarded by North Korea as Trump's attorney Sindeny Powell has stated> She likes the 1981 Clash o'the Titans movie with Hairy Hamlen. Her favorite creature in the movie was the Kraken. RELEASE THE KRAKEN CRACKPOTS!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe, that in my opinion, Trump, Sidney Powell and Rudi are snorting huge amounts of Cocaine and thats why they make such crazy remarks. And book a Presidential news conference at a run down Lawn & Garden store - not the Four Seasons Hotel. And use a witness convicted of computer crimes and sex video distribution. ARE THEY FREAKING CRAZY?
ReplyDeleteSo let's see as things stand now, when California votes at 4:00pm our time, that State's 55 Electoral votes are enough to Elect Joe Biden as the 46th President, unless Trump and his Legal Team have somehow been able to convince California's slate of Electors to switch sides.
ReplyDeleteEven if that happened, it still would not be enough votes to re-elect Trump.
Wonder what the odds are on Trump getting all 55 of California's Electors to flip?
No other way left for him to avoid becoming an Impeached Loser!
Smartmatic voting Inc. today served legal notice to Oan, Newsmax, Fox that it has been defamed and slandered by them. If it goes to court the ONLY defense to defamation suit is PRESENTING THE TRUTH IN COURT to defend yourself. The news stations will lose the cases and be out hundreds of millions of dollars. They have to prove Soros, Chavez and the North Koreans threw the elections! Fake news will cost them!
ReplyDeleteSidney Powell and Rudi gonna get sued and lose law licenses! Oh BABY the excitement continues! Will an affair between Trump and McEnany be uncovered?
I just wrote a check to Diaper Don. It will be fun to watch him continue to drag down the GOP for the next 4 years.
ReplyDeleteIT'S OVER!
ReplyDeleteOUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!
Yes, the best economy in half a century pre-covid attack and the dims elect the guy who was the failure for half a century...brillant
DeleteDon't celebrate too soon @4:31, we still have 36 days of Trump's Man-Baby spite and hatred doing damage to the Country to get through!
ReplyDeleteI know it seems that he's already done as much as he possibly could to weaken and destroy the USA, but there's still a lot of havoc to wreak if the one
with the power decides to take revenge for what his narcissistic psychosis sees as "a betrayal of him". Hopefully his out of control rage will lead him to overstep the boundaries of sanity to the point that the GOP has to stop him in order to ensure their own survival.
Trump has failed his past 2 wives, former business partners, the casino industry, stormy daniels, Ms McDougal. Many others. He cares ONLY for himself. He will release Barabus before he leaves office. Scorched earth to make us all suffer for rejecting him.
