Over the past week, the town of Kiefer – a tiny little hamlet located on the outskirts of Tulsa’s outskirts – has found itself embroiled in some controversy after the local high school’s Junior class created a Trump-themed float for the school’s Sept 18th homecoming matchup against the Keys Cougars.
Here are some pics that have been going around on social media. Because they are high school students, I blurred their faces:
Okay, is a high school homecoming float the right place to campaign for a president? Probably not, but let’s be fair – That’s not very offensive. It’s not like they made a paper mache sculpture of Dr. Fauci and Joe Biden tied-up back-to-back while sitting in a giant black cauldron hanging over a pile of burning facemasks. They just went Class of 2016 and mocked Hillary. Basically, it’s just your typical dated Trump trolling. No big deal.
The float finished second place in voting:
Yep, “Keifer Exotic” took home the top prize! I bet the Juniors and Seniors feel silly for not jumping on that craze! For example, instead of “Trump the Cougars,” the Juniors could have had the class president wear a Joe Exotic costume and sit in a cage with stuffed animals, and then have all the other students dress up like Coronavirus molecules and dance around him to “Infect The Cougars!” That would have surely got them first place over the Sophomores, and also made our story about the float more clickable. It’s a shame they didn’t do it.
Like most things Trump-related, “Trump The Cougars” caused a bit of controversy and some people complained to the school. According to the Ogle Mole Network, the school’s principal shared the following apology on social media, but then “took it down.”
According to an Ogle Mole, outrage over the float, and the subsequent outrage over the outrage over the float, have been stirring in online Facebook pages, groups and other echo chambers. People are threatening to go to school board meetings to complain, and people are threatening to go to school board meetings to complain that people are complaining. Hopefully, before all that happens, cooler heads prevail, and they all remember this stir up is over a stupid high school homecoming float that doesn’t matter.
This auntie would’ve liked to have seen a Hunter Biden float with hookers, blow, and loads of cash instead.
I don’t get it. Please explain.
Trump is the one I associate with hookers and loads of cash, if $130K constitutes a “load.” Not sure about the blow.
This auntie lives on her ss checks, so even 130 large is very, very large to her.
P.s. That other $3million is simply unfathomable.
Sounds like you’re believing that what you’ve worked hard to earn for your retirement should not be available to your children or grandchildren?
Why would you support a person who is trying to starve the exact thing that’s creating your retirement paycheck and your health coverage? Just doesn’t make sense, unless the power of propaganda is brought into play?
Allow me to explain, the difference is that if it were Trump, the float would include two hookers peeing on each other, and instead of blow, a stack of Quarterpounders. Hunter Biden might be sick, but he’s not golden showers sick, and does seem to have a normal diet.
Well, it wouldn’t be hookers, it would be Ivanka and Tiffany. No, wait, he has no interest in Tiffany, sexual or fatherly, it would be Ivanka and Donnie Jr. in drag.
Perhaps Jeffrey Epstein would have a place too.
It’s just the Oklahoma version of 21st century FFA, as in the “Future FASCISTS of America”. Imagine that!
Is it possible that you could explain some sense here?
It is so confusing to me that Trumper’s attack and rail against people like Hunter Biden for doing pretty much the same thing Trump, does, did and will continue to do. That the argument is “well Hunter did so many bad things, horrible things, many people have said…………..” but any criticism or evidence (much almost identical to those Trump/Trumpers are attacking) raised against Trump is: Fake news-Hoax-completely ignored or attached to a mantra of “it’s not as bad as what Hillary/Obama/John F. Kennedy did”.
Facts:
* 26 women have accused Trump of Sexual Assault
* Trump has admitted on tape he lied regarding Corona
* Trump promised to release his tax returns-not happened and he continues to fight in court to deny investigation offices to see them.
* Trump promised to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it-didn’t/won’t happen
* Has had the most turnover of staff/cabinet in history, and most were selected by him-who were the greatest at the time and then became “sad-failures-losers-etc.,”
* Continues to refuse to denounce KKK like groups
* His own wife and daughter used their personal email accounts for secure government communication-something he wanted to “lock up Hillary for”.
And so on and so on, BUT HEY LETS TALK ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN-WHO’S NOT RUNNING FOR OFFICE AND NEVER BEEN IN OFFICE. Should say ” Ifa you had a brain cell”, because Trump and his administration has done nothing but reduce your benefits and are looking at even more cuts to programs to support you, but I think you’re on the right track to worry about Hunter Biden and how he will affect your daily life.
Relax, honey. Auntie was just expressing her float preference. I thought we still had freedom of expression here?
We definitely have freedom of expression, just as the Trumper Youth deserve their own freedom of expression with their float.
Too many people crying for freedom often forget about its flip side – responsibility. That means owning the consequences and derision that follow when we express stupid or offensive things – like pretending that Hunter Biden is a worthy “whatabout” for Donald Trump’s blatant amorality and corruption.
Auntie never said anything about Donald Trump, Mr. Graychin.
You didn’t have to. We got your message.
Who is “we” that you’re speaking of, Mr. Graychin? Or should I add an “s” to your moniker from now on?
Was there heavy coverage of Hunter Biden on Fox News yesterday? 😀
I don’t think I suggested you didn’t have the freedom to express what you want. My point/question/comment was why you are concerned about Hunter (who will most likely never affect you or your life personally) but you aren’t concerned about someone (Trump) who is doing things that will harm you and your future.
Auntie’s life has been just fine before. Not sure why it should get worse any time soon.
Isn’t it odd when someone refers to herself in the third person?
That’s way too logical. That’s going to ricochet right off.
Not once did you mention her loyalty to America, sexual preference, or commented on the intelligence of her ass.
There’s simply nothing there to respond to.
yeah freedom of expression and also the freedom to ignorantly vote against your self interests. Someone who relies on their monthly ss check and votes for republicans hasn’t been paying attention. I’ll be eligible two years and collect for about one year before trump and the republicans finally realize their cruel dream of totally sabotaging ss by permanently eliminating the payroll tax that funds the program millions depend on. thanks a lot
My nieces and nephews seem to be doing even better. Not sure where you’ve gotten my vote confirmation from, however.
These kids these days!
Everyone chill. It could have been worse. Much worse. OU frat boy worse. At least they aren’t rebels against their parents’ values.
I’m wondering which of Trump’s policies the Kiefer kids like the best, besides jailing Hillary. Killing off Obamacare? Tax cuts for the wealthy?
And I wonder what their grandkids will think of them fifty years from now.
Their grandkids will probably still have their head still screwed on straight!!🤦♂️
As this was the creation of what I assume are non-voting kids (although such rural schools tend to have a large group of twentysomething eleventh graders), it’s kind of cute. Cute because at that age while still fighting for independence from their parents influence and values, adolescents tend to mirror what is discussed in the home. I’m imagining family dinner tables with cries of “Lock her up!” instead of the usual blessing and discussions of how Obama started all this racism when he said Trayvon Martin’s name…. with FOX News blaring in the background.
Flash forward when these kids make it to college and meet actual people of color and from different backgrounds. A few of these kids will cringe at this memory while most will still be bitching about the rigged 2020 election Trump will still be challenging when they get their degrees.
Cute.
Yep, they will go to college and get a good dose of left wing tripe, some will become full fledged snowflakes. Most, by the time they get settled in and start making money will realise just how stupid the democratic party is and get their faculties about them and once again become rational thinkers.
I see your point Grand Master. The very idea these children could venture out to Stillwater, or Heaven forbid Norman and discover there are actually people that live outside that 400 population or whatever it is small town that don’t drive pickup trucks with rubber bull nuts hanging off the back bumper. I know a personal shock to my system was learning there were communist bastards that actually played 11 man football.
The mind blowing aspect however would be that those “others” might talk to these kids before they get back home to shitsville and convince them not every person thinks exactly like Dad. You’re exactly correct Master, the very thought should scare the shit out of all of us!
I think he meant Grand Dragon.
Don’t fool yourself. None of these kids from Kiefer are going to college.
Sadly, that’s probably true. So they’re safe from all that left-wing indoctrination and will continue to think for themselves. Or is it “think like their parents and peers”? I’m not sure.
It wasn’t a political stance in thier view, it was a play on words. TRUMP THE COUGARS was the theme of thier float
Why aren’t they wearing their “PRESIDENT PUSSY GRABBER” T-Shirts? Seems like that’d be the penultimate pimple-popper teeny thing to do!
Where is Hunter?
So you’re having your wet dreams about Hunter Biden instead of Boren? Interesting.
Critical thinking, economics, and science must have been eliminated from the school curriculum.
Thanks, Betsy
Exactly! That’s precisely the sort of left-wing doctrine that turns decent kids fanatical for Trump into ones who believe that the Earth wasn’t created in six days, that trickle-down economics doesn’t work, and that black lives actually matter.
As the old saying goes “What’s this younger generation coming to?”.
Someday those kids, will open the front door of their 2 story cardboard box and wonder what their parents were talking about when they mentioned Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and such.
It simply went directly over their heads, and sounds like their parents too, when donald worked diligently to bully the cowered Fed to not only lower but keep interest rates at or near 0 while lobbying non stop for a “payroll tax holiday” to further starve out what 80% of all Americans have relied on for decades to survive.
In my wildest dreams did I ever suspect I’d be relieved to be approaching the finish line.
I’m appalled at their genuine lack of creativity. They should have a wall that said “paid for by Mexico” around the float, with a sign inside saying “no tax returns will ever be released”, and then having the Russian flag fly over it all.
An example of how the circle of voters continues decade after decade, who vote for things contrary to their actual well being (financial, health care, public services, education, etc.) all in the name of “By Gawd Freedom”. Never under estimate the power of “I showed you” factor in elections, especially in Oklahoma. It’s a Trump, Inhofe, Langford and Stitt’s perfect scenario.
I miss when elections were about issues, solutions, actual platforms.
My discussions with Trump-supporting acquaintances discloses one issue (perhaps the ONLY issue) that they seem to really care about in addition to the cult of personality. That issue is abortion.
In a way, that is logical. Trump CAN be trusted to appoint rigidly anti-abortion judges, although he used to claim to be pro-choice before he got into politics. And there’s no telling how many abortions Trump has paid for personally, or perhaps through Michael Cohen. (Anyone who says “zero” is surely wrong.)
Trump supporters seem to believe that Trump’s re-election can and will abolish abortion in the USA once and for all. Never mind that even if the Supreme Court eventually erases Roe v. Wade entirely, there is no Constitutional authority for a federal ban on abortion.
Abortion will surely remain legal under many state laws, especially in the Northeast and along the West Coast. Abortion will still be only a car trip away for people in places like Mississippi and Oklahoma. And those state laws against abortion aren’t necessarily going to last forever. The times, they are a-changing.
I’ve long wondered if most Republicans in power really wanted to end abortion, claiming you want to end it is such a guaranteed turnout promise for their base. Even when they’ve had control of all three branches of government, they never actually passed the human life amendment, which was always part of their platform, until they were actually in power, and in a position to actually pass it, then it just kind of disappeared.
Maybe Trump didn’t get the memo that you’re not really supposed to end it, only talk about it. I don’t want women to lose the right to choose, but if it does happen, maybe these people will start voting for their own interest, or not vote at all.
I agree. Even with all the restrictions, one in four American women will have an abortion during their lifetimes.
In the case of Republican politicians, there are several preconditions for elective office that can’t ever be skipped:
– Support the most imaginative abortion restrictions possible, even if they will surely be declared unconstitutional.
– Support a “constitutional” right to own and carry as much firepower as you want, any place that you want, with no limits.
– Preach that law enforcement treats everyone the same, regardless of race.
– Oppose tax increases on anyone, at any time, for any reason.
– Wear an American Flag pin in your lapel, and your religion on your sleeve.
