TKC QUESTION: IS KANSAS CITY PUBLIC OPINION TURNING AGAINST MAYOR QUINTON LUCAS AS COVID-19 WORSENS?!?
In the early days of the pandemic Mayor Q earned praise from local pundits and politicos for leading the effort to lockdown and protect lives against COVID-19.
Now, let's take a look at just a quick list of wrongs confronting the mayor in the aftermath of a contentious election season and at the outset of Winter "dark days" predicted by Joe Biden and public health officials . . .
Mayor Q Confronts Criticism From Both Police & Activists Over His Cautious Approach To The Top Cop Debate
Again and again . . . EVERYONE BELIEVES MAYOR Q SHOULD PICK A SIDE and stop waffling betwixt police support and activist demands. The Mayor's lack of clarity on the resignation and/or removal of Chief Smith has hurt his administration and worsened community relations with law enforcement by way of indecision.
Flip Flopping On The City Manager Hire Cost The Mayor Urban Core Credibility
The Mayor promised a "transformative" hire but then was caught making behind the scenes deals that irked the council and undermined the hiring process . . . Translation: Mayor Q's machinations made the City Manager hire look rigged. Now, before Brian Platt's first day on the job, he has been tagged as a racist and confronts unfortunate urban core opposition.
Allegedly "Arbitrary" COVID-19 Curfew Has Sparked A Political Vendetta Against The Mayor From Local Small Biz Leaders
A lawsuit takes on Mayor Q and he still hasn't explained to us how "science" proves that COVID-19 is more dangerous after 10PM. Moreover, a crackdown targeting small biz has cost hundreds of jobs and sparked THE KANSAS CITY 2020 RESTAURANT APOCALYPSE. Accordingly, these locals aren't likely to forget the hardship they're confronting anytime soon and Mayor Q will have a tough time convincing this influential constituency that he was acting in their best interests.
Still . . . All of this is just context so that we can ask our blog community . . .
HOW IS MAYOR Q DOING AS KANSAS CITY CONFRONTS THE "DARK DAYS" OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC?!?!
You decide . . .
Keep the Chief, Dump the Q.

Definitely overestimating the early support for the mayor. He has been opposed on the lockdowns since day one. Did you forget about the recall?
DeleteTwo of them actually.
I don't know if the mayor plans to run for reelection, but he'll have a tough time convincing anyone who works in KC to vote for him again.
Agree!
DeleteAnd yet the virus is not his fault, and both recall efforts have been dismal failures. Weird.
ReplyDeleteThe virus wasn't Trump's fault either. So what?
DeleteThe virus wasn't trumps fault either, yet he took it at the polls for it. So Q should get a pass? Please, spare me.
ReplyDelete^^^^ Damn good point @6:04. Nice comeback.
ReplyDeleteThe general public gave up on KCMO government a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteThe folks who run for office and get elected have regularly demonstrated that they have no understanding or appreciation for what a city government is actually responsible for and they turn out to be way more interested in which special groups, especially their campaign contributors and other insiders, they can do favors for.
And most of all, "what are you going to run for next"?
The real needs of residents and small businesses aren't even on the radar screen.
And the city's condition is made very clear by the shape the streets and other infrastructure is in, the horrendous homicide rate, and KCMO's desperate financial position.
Lucas is just the latest and most visible in a very long list of D-list celebrity political hacks to inhabit 12th and Oak.
You get what you pay for, or in this case, elect.
Let's be honest: Mayor Lucas, his new city manager, are a different breed than the old days. These KC jobs are stepping stones to their ultimate fate in DC. $275,000 + car to a 30 year old kid to run a city of 450,000 people? It's a new era of the clerisy and political/consultant class.
ReplyDeleteThey'll be gone in a few years, no matter their outcomes (ruin the city, bankrupt it, crime skyrockets) and they'll always find high-paying jobs, hop around, become consultants, media people. That's the game. NOT helping people and really being a leader.
Not to run a City. Run a City government. I'm quite good at handling my own affairs. Thank you very much.
DeleteYes. I'm sure developers and other grifters long for the days of Give-it-Away Kay and Slimy Sly and would dearly love to replace Q with someone more to their liking. And yet voters seem to disagree. Weird.
ReplyDeleteBoth city and county black leadership has failed us.
ReplyDeleteHe's doing fine
ReplyDeleteAt least the mayor did something like mandate masks. Did Trump do anything other than promote himself? No.
ReplyDeleteIt's called leadership. You Trumptards should look it up.
Haha, you Obamatards still don't get it.
DeleteThe Demoncrap mayors weren't going to go with anything Trump tried to impose on their precious kingdoms. Get real. Weird.
ReplyDeleteHe's pathetic!
ReplyDeleteStick your mask up your ass 7:29
ReplyDeleteResidents and small businesses are moving out of KC.
ReplyDeleteCorporations moving their headquarters out of KC.
Mayor Wilson's support of BLM and ANTIFA has unleashed lawlessness on the City. Both groups will be back in the Spring when it warms up protesting and looting.
Kansas City is a third world shit hole.
Leadership is when you get further in Mideast peace deals than any other president before you, lower taxes on the majority of Americans no matter the income class, make trade deals with China so tough that China wants a senile fool to replace the tough negotiator, and go after terrorist groups so vigorously that they have a hard time launching attacks on our home soil.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget picking good judges. Lots to like.
Delete"Weird" guy got his ass toasted. Weird.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job dousing yourself in gasoline Q Ball. With all due respect, which is none, are you having trouble finding a light sir? 😏🍿
ReplyDeleteProgressives could care less if the mayor is a geed steward of the taxpayer money he is burning through, or, if he kills off what is left of the tax base and small business.
ReplyDeleteThey will vote for him again and again because his skin is black and he is gay.
Identity politics TRUMPS everything.
"good" didn't have my glasses on.
ReplyDeleteMove along, MAGAts. You lost. Scram. Back to the shadows, cockroaches.
ReplyDeleteHaha, so much for healing.
Delete8:16 Once again we hear from the freak who can only talk about the great President Trump. Not funny the first 3,000 times, Pal - get medical treatment!
ReplyDeleteHear the thunder yet, chuck? Ha ha ha ha. But then, like you, I don't see why people think a vaccine is going to solve everything. A vaccine doesn't stop you from getting the virus or stop anyone from spreading it. Damn some people are so stupid.
ReplyDelete8:16 Move along, Faggot. You lose. Scram. Back to the shadows, cockroaches.
ReplyDeleteMedia & Medical Community: COVID is running rampant.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans/Trumptards: Oh well, nothing we can do.
Media: Fear! Be afraid! Exist in terror!
DeleteWhere's Biden's Chud Boy ?
ReplyDeleteFox News video evidence of Atlanta vote counting center clearly shows Democrats pulling out suitcases of fraudulent ballots in the middle of the night after they told the poll watchers there are no more ballots to count.
Stupid Democrats didn't realize the arena where the votes were being counted had video cameras in the ceiling.
The 2020 Election is truly fraudulent and stolen.
EPIC EVIDENCE OF WHAT WE ALL KNEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Caught on candid camera...
ReplyDeleteFulton County supervisors in Georgia tell poll workers, press and observers to leave the room...
And then pull out SUITCASES of ballots.
Say it with me... F R A U D.
WHERE IS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE?”
Don’t kid yourself, the urban core, or at least property owners in the urban core, hasn’t been in support for Lucas for a long time before the city manager was hired!!!
ReplyDeleteMost people did not like voting for 2 leftist for Mayor. Jolie Justus was determined to be worse, so Quinton won by default.
ReplyDeleteUnemployed basement imbecile is active.
ReplyDeleteWho the fuck actually knows if Lucas was really elected?
ReplyDeleteDemocrats are so corrupt, the election was probably another Progressive fraud-vote-fixed-rigged lie.
7:43 wins.
ReplyDelete^^^your guy lost, get on with your miserable life.
ReplyDelete^^^ your guy cheated bigly and is owned by China, get on with your miserable life.
ReplyDeleteNotice the Free Cheeses still can't say China's fault. It's because all their Heroes peddle Chinese Shit to their Dumbasses. Still waiting on all those Amazon packages to finish up your Rainbow and Bong Christmas decoration themed House ?
ReplyDeleteI don't care about small biz, let covid wipe out these stupid strip malls, bulldoze everyone of them
ReplyDeleteWhite Progressives voted this guy in.
ReplyDeleteWhite Progressives think they are "cool" if they hate themselves and engage in ethnomasochistic behavior. Self flagellation and the "Hate Whitey" ululations are the Progressive Cri De Coeur in gatherings of these lemmings where decibel level as opposed to logic denotes status.
It's all so pathetically and fuckin Comme Il Faut. Jim Jones, drink the kool-aid morons seeking acceptance from the very people who in turn seek their destruction "By any means necessary".
White Progressives, before they get out of bed every single day, start off with STUPID. Then, go from there.
Chuck, I wouldn't talk as you wake up stupid and go to bed stupider.
ReplyDeleteYour daily Fox News indoctrination probably has a lot to do with it. Or are they too "progressive" now?
Professor McDrinkerson! Is it time for you to piss your pants again?
ReplyDeleteBack to academia, doofus. Leave governing to adults.
If you believe it’s okay to kill your own baby in your womb, but that hunting should be banned, you just might be a Democrat.

If you think smoking cigarettes should be banned, but smoking marijuana should be legalized, you just might be a Democrat.

If you claim to hate racism and then claim that all white people are racists, you just might be a Democrat.
If you believe that female genital mutilation is “just a matter of cultural and religious choice,” but that devout Christians should be forced to pay for other people’s contraception and to make cakes for gay weddings, you just might be a Democrat.
If you believe that an American putting on a sombrero for Halloween is an example of rank appropriation, but that there’s nothing wrong with people around the world wearing Levi’s jeans or listening to blues music, you just might be a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe discrimination against minorities is bad, but that discrimination against a majority (that itself will soon be a minority) is okay, you just might be a Democrat.
If you believe that Antifa and Black Lives Matter are benign groups trying to right historical wrongs, but that the Founders were selfish bastards intent on using others to further a white power agenda, you just might be a Democrat.
If you believe that capitalism is a corrupt economic system designed to oppress the masses, and that socialism is an altruistic system designed to level the playing field, you almost certainly are a Democrat.
If you used to believe that desegregation was a bad idea, and now believe resegregation – like black-only college dormitories -- is a good one, you just might be a Democrat.
If you believe rugged individualism is a pathetically outmoded idea…and that group think is a much better option, you just might be a Democrat.
If you prefer indoctrination over unbiased instruction and the primacy of feelings over logic, you just might be a Democrat.
If you think the doctrine of “America First” is xenophobic and unfair and subscribe to a doctrine of “Any Other Country First,” you just might be a Democrat.

If you are still certain that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election but are equally certain that the 2020 election was utterly untainted, you just might be a Democrat.
If you truly believe President Trump is a bigger danger to the world than Chinese President Xi Jinping is, you just might be a Democrat.
If you believe that Trump is a “bully” but see nothing wrong with conservatives getting mocked, de-platformed, threatened, silenced, slandered, and chased off campuses…you are almost certainly a Democrat.
If you believe wearing a face mask in public is more important than wearing clothes in public, you just may be a Democrat.
If you prefer “virtual” reality to…reality…you just might be a Democrat.
AGAINST THE WALL
ReplyDeleteQuinton Wilson is a narcissistic actor suffering from schizophrenia.
Yes, his real last name is Wilson, as his biological father as determined by the Missouri Court of Appeals is Thomas O. Wilson.
The White race that he loves to accuse of institutional racism is directly responsible for him receiving scholarships to an exclusive private KC high school, Washington University-St. Louis, and Cornell Law School. Current-day Quinton Wilson exists because he was plucked from obscurity and given the path to success.
As Councilman and now Mayor, Quinton Wilson pays no real estate taxes because he's so committed to KCMO that he owns no home in the city. He lives in an apartment building owned by KCMO which pays no property taxes.
After graduating from law school in 2009, Quinton Wilson clerked for a MO judge, failed at a local law firm, and then landed a diversity/inclusion appointment at KU Law School in 2012. His title at KU was "law lecturer" an entry level position. He was never a professor, despite his years and hundreds of instances of falsely claiming the title.
The business group that backs Quinton Wilson and funds his political campaigns are a majority Kansas-resident group. Mayor Wilson is beholden to them like an indentured servant to his Master.
KCMO has a City Manager form of municipal government. Essentially, the Mayor is a Councilmember with extra duties/appointment powers and the bully pulpit.
Quinton is a narcissist because nearly his entire life he's grown accustomed to receiving praise and winning an award for walking into a room as a black man who can enunciate his words clearly. White liberals and those in need of a front-man for their interests, love to promote people of color like Quinton, because it provides the illusion of equal opportunity. Quinton truly believes that he's "special", loves to hear himself talk, is happy to take money from wealthy whites, and opportunistically looks for the next ladder rung to climb before people discover the truth.

ReplyDeleteNo wonder Democrats want to steal elections so badly, it is BIG money!
ReplyDelete"The daughter of California Rep. Maxine Waters netted around $240,000 this past election cycle — from her mother’s own campaign, new records show.
The congresswoman’s campaigns shelled out payments to Karen Waters for work she did on her 82-year-old mother’s re-election campaign, including “slate mailer management” and “GOTV” — or likely “Get Out the Vote” services.
The payments appear in new Federal Election Commission filings reported by Fox News on Friday.
More than $212,600 in disbursements to Karen Waters are broken down into 26 entries such as “slate mailer management” fees, “office expenses” and “canvassing” between March 2019 and September 2020."
Native Americans took bribes, cash and gift cards to vote for Biden.

This actually solves some problems here in KC. The Kansas City Chiefs can just change their name to The Kansas City Election Stealers.
See how that works?
You're welcome.
Yeah I see hown that works, 11:55. Take some videos and misrepresent what's actually happening.
DeleteIt's the Republican Way.
Remember how, after an election, you and your friends would stand around and ask, "Who the fuck would vote for these idiots?"
ReplyDeleteTurns out, no did.
Anyone believing this shit is brainwashed or corrupt.
