“This election was a CAT scan on the American people, and as difficult as it is to say, as hard as it is to name, what it revealed, at least in part, is a frightening affinity for a man of borderless corruption. Donald Trump is no longer an aberration; he is normative.”
“And we shall call it Kansas City”
Cuz it’s in Kansas?
“No it will be located in Missouri.”
What will we call the neighboring city across the river?
“Kansas City, Kansas”
“… we have a duty to participate in the political process, but nowhere does she say that we must violate our conscience by voting for a candidate who departs from Church teaching just because another candidate’s positions lie even farther afield.” https://t.co/339VaVOH8B
Just spent a month in Kansas City. The 3 weirdest things:
1) Everyone is super nice—almost to the point of feeling off.
Example: I'm in a gas station on the wrong side of town. Another customer who is 6'6", 250 lbs, and has face tattoos walks over and says, "Hi sir, they have a sale on Gatorade you might want to check out."
2) Nobody has a favorite BBQ place.
They like them all equally but have favorite items at each one. "Oh, I like the fries at KC Joe's and the brisket at..."
3) Everyone dresses like a tourist.
Go out on a random Tuesday, and everyone will have a "Kansas City" t-shirt on it. Entire stores are devoted to city merchandise. It's nuts.
Overall, great place. What did I miss?
Actually, former President Bush's retreat into a quiet civilian life and refusal to become a raging partisan is an endearing thing about his post-presidency.
