Burg Fest (a street fair) is taking place in downtown Warrensburg, Missouri this weekend.
The republican own goal:
“Felon 2024”
A remarkable gesture of self-awareness, if they actually cared. Their booth wasn’t manned up to 10:00 a.m. this morning.
The Johnson County Democratic Party booth, around the corner:
“Johnson County Democrats”
“Yes” on Amendment 3.

Today in west central Missouri:
It’s a cult.
We’re looking for a “My candidate for President has been convicted in 34 felonies” t-shirt.
We’ll wait for the going out of business/bankruptcy sale.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Last Saturday the annual Warrensburg Pride Festival took place at the same venue as last year. The well-attended family friendly event included vendors, information, activities, entertainment, music, discussions, speeches, swag, food (and an outdoor food truck!). There were protesters.
Several statewide and local Democratic Party candidates attended and spoke at the event.
House Assistant Minority Leader Richard Brown (D), a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, attended, spoke to the crowd, and visited one-on-one with attendees.
House Minority Leader and candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Richard Brown (D).
.
Richard Brown (D): [….] But here’s why I’m running for the job. Because that’s exactly what it is. It’s a job, it’s not a title.
[….]
There are constitutional and statutory duties that the Lieutenant Governor does in the State of Missouri. When we talk about the constitutional duties, you know, we tend to think about the Lieutenant Governor is the next person in line in case something happens to the Governor. Okay, well, Crystal [Quade (D)] looks to be in good health, so I’m not worried about it. She’s been in great health the whole time I’ve been her assistant, I’ve never worried about it. Okay.
The Lieutenant Governor also presides over the Senate. Okay. That’s important. That’s important. When you have the gavel in your hand you can control how things flow in that house, in that chamber. And we, as Democrats, we have learned over the last few years that some of our, sometimes our best offense is defense. We stop a lot of bad stuff from happening because we can slow things down. And so, that’s so important to have that gavel in my hand.
[….]
We are going to when this election. I don’t care how much money the other guy has. That money is not going to wash you clean with the women who are coming to the polls to overturn the abortion ban when you voted for the ban, when you voted to make no exceptions for rape and incest, when you voted to defund Planned Parenthood. I don’t care how much money you have, it will not wash you clean with those women who are coming to the polls. [applause, cheers]

Elad Gross (D): [….] As Attorney General I will start Missouri’s first civil rights division in the history of our state. It’s about damn time that we have one [applause]. Twenty other, at least twenty other, twenty-eight other states have one. Most states have one, including the, uh, vaunted Democratic capital of Oklahoma. I mean, come on, like, we need to have one. Okay? And we need to protect our rights, we need to protect our rights to reproductive freedom, which we will put in the state Constitution this November [applause]. We need to protect our rights on the job, we need to protect our rights in education, we need to protect our rights in public housing.
And I know that the state legislature refuses to pass the Missouri Non-discrimination Act, or MONA, which is a statute that would say you cannot discriminate against folks because they’re gay, because they’re a member of the LGBTQ community.
Well, I’ll tell you what. Whether or not they want to pass that law we are going to enforce that right. Because that is the right that every American and every Missourian already has. And our civil rights division will make sure that right is protected here in the State of Missouri [applause].
[….]
I think we need an Attorney General who represents the people of the State of Missouri, not big government, not big corporations that are paying for them, but for you and your family. And as your Attorney General I will get that office working for you again.
It’s about time that your rights are protected in our state and it’s about time that those folks who want to take ’em away suffer the consequences. So, we’ve got a lot of folks that we got to get elected, we got a whole lot of folks that we got to start suing, and I would be honored to be your next Attorney General to do that.
[….]

Posted in Uncategorized
On Saturday the annual Warrensburg Pride Festival took place at the same venue as last year. The well-attended family friendly event included vendors, information, activities, entertainment, music, discussions, speeches, swag, food (and an outdoor food truck!). There were protesters.
Several statewide and local Democratic Party candidates attended and spoke at the event.
House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D), a candidate for Governor, attended, spoke to the crowd, and visited one-on-one with attendees.
House Minority Leader and candidate for Governor, Crystal Quade (D).
.
Crystal Quade (D): [….] What I want you all to know is, um, we have a lot at stake in 2024. And, and I appreciate the time to talk about politics in this space because, unfortunately, they have made every space about politics. They did that. But since they did we’re gonna take advantage of that and also do that.
Because what’s going on this year, for folks who may not know, we have an opportunity in the fall to take back reproductive freedom in our state, because [applause], yes, let’s clap for that, because we had over 380,000 people sign a piece of paper saying, ‘You have gone too far, and this is too extreme for my state.’ So we have that opportunity.
We have an opportunity to raise the minimum wage and give mandatory earned sick leave to everyone in the State of Missouri. [applause] Huge. [applause]
We also have an opportunity to get rid of Josh Hawley [r]. [cheers, applause]
We have an opportunity to take back the Governor’s mansion. [cheers, applause] And, as mentioned, we are so very close to breaking the Republican super-majority in the state House and Senate. We need to flip three seats red to blue. As in my time as leader we’ve already flipped six, so flipping three is gonna be real easy. [applause] But what that means is that when I’m Governor and they file the next nonsense that they do, I can veto it and we can uphold that veto and it will not become law.
Missouri is a place that I know everyone here feels it, that often feels like there’s no way out, and sometimes can feel very overwhelming. But what I hope that you all know about this election cycle is we actually have an opportunity to pull Missouri back on track and be a state where folks feel safe and welcome to be here.

A Warrensburg, Missouri – ordinance:
Sec. 14-65. – Trespass.
A person commits the offense of trespass if they enter unlawfully or remain unlawfully upon the real property of another. This is an offense of absolute liability.(Code 1970, § 16-20; Ord. No. 5307, § 1, 2-13-17)
Apparently one of the anti-Warrensburg Pride Festival protesters got upset about being asked to leave the venue parking lot. It’s private property. It was a private event. She wasn’t a guest. She was trespassing.
A sequence of five images:
There’s a shitstorm of anguish on the great injustice of it all posted on social media by the usual suspects.
What kind of maroon shows up to protest at an event that has consistently been subjected to serious violent threats over the years, has hired armed private security, where the local police are present, and then expects to park on the private property that she’s protesting? Someone who truly believes…in her privilege. She was lucky she wasn’t arrested.
Don’t fall asleep in school, kids.

Yesterday at the annual Warrensburg Pride Festival protesters with signs gathered on the property and across the street.
Tautology, sort of:
The kerning needs a little work.
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)
Kinky Boots (2005)
Victor/Victoria (1982)
Victor and Victoria (1933)
Some Like it Hot (1959)
Yentl (1983)
Hairspray (2007)
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
Tootsie (1982)
You don’t like drag shows? Don’t attend. Nobody else really cares about your aesthetic judgment.
After that, they’re on their own. Not enough space on the shirt to get in the stuff about feeding the hungry and housing the homeless.
I’m pretty sure none of mine are anywhere close to capital offenses in any reasonable interpretation. Though there is that polyester and cotton thing.
The ACLU:
“….Taking photographs and video of things that are plainly visible in public spaces is a constitutional right….”
“….When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view….”
And, if you can spell, don’t bother. You think he got upset when passersby didn’t honk? Just asking.
