Breaking: Usually the "dirtbag" senator from #Missouri focuses on diverting the state's public education funds to the Bible schools, but today he chose to embarrasse us by floating a new "theory" whirling around a foggy lie that took almost 5 minutes to blow back into the ether.

From the Summer of Silly Costumes and Peaceful Resistance to a Violent Regime, a moment for the #AlphabetChallenge in the #WeekJforJocular #NoKings #Protest 18 October 2025 #KansasCity, #Missouri
Photo: While her children look on her right and other protesters mill about her left, a mother shows how easy it is to bring a little levity to an antifascist demonstrators.
Mom, in the middle, wears a bright yellow, inflatable clown costume that appears to be performing a handstand.
Daughter, on our left (her right), holds a sign on her behalf reading, "There's Nothing Funny about the CLOWN in the White House. Ok. Maybe a lot of things: the hair, the makeup, the hands, etc. But Seriously."
Another protester, on our right (her left), holds a sign reading,"Love Thy Neighbor."
With neighbors like these, what's not to love?

(The vanilla contents of the ice cream bars is not shown, but is implied by the delicious chocolate coating.
Beyond the sign a white steel and blued glass shelter stands on the right and parked cars are visible on the left.
