Although major cities my have figured out public funding for stadiums is a scam, other municipalities in metro areas are still vulnerable. Study after study have shown the economic promises never pan out. I believe KCKS has been sold a bill of goods.

Shout out to @davidmastio.bsky.social of The Kansas City Star, for keeping tabs on the pardoned insurrectionists riot at the US Capitol. So far, he has documented over 30 cases of re-offense among the people pardoned by the orange one; including child porn, assault on police officers, and rape.

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder. But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.

No FAFO comment from me. I’m glad some folks admit voting for Trump was a mistake, but if that doesn’t come with “I should’ve voted for Kamala Harris,” it’s not complete. We don’t need more non-voters. You have to choose a side or you’re complicit in the outcome.

They've had a hard-on for social benefits since they were created here almost 100 years ago. They've only been pissed about a black man getting elected president since 2008, and the racial un-reckoning, DEI-ing and voting rights denying are in full effect. Social Security is next if we don't act.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels.

PANEL 1

CAPTION: The year 2000

A young, beardless Barry is standing behind a table in a public walkway, talking to a passerby. A large sign on the table says "NADER."

Behind Barry, an older, bearded Barry is appearing out of some sort of dimensional portal, a panicked expression on his face.

YOUNG BARRY: Nader is our only choice that isn't a vote for evil!

OLDER BARRY: Barry, stop!

PANEL 2

Barry, bewildered, talks to older Barry, who is still panicked.

YOUNG BARRY: Who are you?

OLDER BARRY: I'm you! I'm barry from 2008. I'm using a time machine to stop you from making an awful mistake!

PANEL 3

Older Barry waves his arms as he talks.

OLDER BARRY: George W Bush is much worse than you think he'll be! There was terrorist attack, and we invaded Iraq, and it's all awful!

PANEL 4

As Older Barry talks to Young Barry, an Even Older Barry, with a gray beard, emerges from a dimensional portal and taps Older Barry on the shoulder.

OLDER BARRY: I literally can't imagine a worse Pres-

EVEN OLDER BARRY: Excuse me, I'm Barry from 2025.
