gotta save that graphic for the usual “moose/sister/cheese” posts.
If Algore shows up, he’ll bring his own cold front and snow.
Too bad he isn’t giving a “I’m Back” speech.
There is no venue in Nairobi that wanted him or his ilk.
There are millions, not thousands, who are excited to see the end of this guy. Many have been waiting a long time to hear his “goodbye” speech!
Nah. McCormick is a relatively safe area...in the day-time.
Further South, starting around 111th, it gets dicey around 130th...well, check your melanin content prior to attending until you see the “Hegewich City Limits” sign.
Then? Run-like-hell until you are East of Gary, Indiana.

There are about 2 million people in Chicago so 32% of that is about 640,000 or so -- a large enough pool of attendees.

Why would anyone worry about how cold it is? Zombies can’t tell the difference.
A-A all the way. He knows, deep down, he's just a con man.
Beer-liquor drinking games will be the rage for his usual verbiage like the words “notion, I, me, my, mine.”
So when Trump has an event for him to say “thank you”, it’s “unseemly” and “a waste of security detail” to liberals but they’re fine with the peasants holding an event to say thanks to Obama.
What has Obama actually done for the feral vermin in Chicago, other than try to handcuff the police? I hope they’ll be a few gunshots and rapes for the media to ignore (or worse, blame on Trump).
When you think about how cold it is (6 degrees),

Are you saying those are the same thousands who lined up for Hillary tickets? It would embarrass the messiah if it was not as long as a Trump line.
