Illinois House Overrides Gov. Rauner’s Veto on Tax Hike, Budget Bill

they’ve terminally crapped up their current places of abode.

And you expect us to stay there and keep shoveling up this stuff???

Illinois has been corrupt for at least 80 years. If citizens for decades believe in being abused and many simple minded, short sighted people are O.K. to hang out on a sinking ship, why do I, or anyone with a working brain, have to live in this?

You live in California. Progressive hellhole. What are you doing to fight? How do you fight when the majority believes in a 3rd grade La-La land unicorn existence ? You're tax dollars are paying for their crap! Why do you stay?

I'm not trying to be confrontational, only sincere.

What do we do when overwhelmed ?

Personally I like D's suggestion. LOL!

Well, at nearly 77, I’m not about to move because where live in California is quite tolerable, but I understand that such may not be the case where you were living in Illinois or in other places here in California either for that matter. At the same time the practice of moving away from adversity has practical limits and it allows the Liberal trash to succeed. Would I move if I found where I was living to be unsafe, you bet, but it would have to be far worse than it is today here.
At the end of the day, what we are seeing in Illinois is going to catch up with the other RAT-run states as well with financial collapse. It is inevitable, and with the financial collapses, will come the forced realization that the free lunch is the illusion it’s really always been. That’s why with the advent of President Trump, we are seeing the Liberal/Marxists pulling out all the stops, because they can readily see, as he turns the screws on the free lunch at the Federal level, it’s “smoking out” what’s been happening in the states. Cutting off the Federal largesse, it the first step toward forcing the financial collapse of the RAT-run states. I just hope I am able to live long enough to witness the rebirth of both CA, IL and a bunch of other states as well. We owe Donald J. Trump a deep debt of gratitude for what he’s doing, his willingness to take of this daunting task of saving our country is one of the most selfless acts by anyone I’ve ever witnessed.

>> Yes, indeed, because Chicago and the IL Combine would vote in Henry Clay and Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun... yeah. Just gotta get rid of that 17th so we can get ‘em back again ! <<

Voter in low-income crime ridden ghetto Chicago neighborhood that has been gerrymandered into a mostly middle class suburban Cook County district to tip the overall district into always voting Dem:
"Oh my. Since the 17th amendment has been repealed, I must now take my duties as an Illinois citizen more seriously and ensure we only elect state legislators who best serve the interests of our overall state. Instead of just blindly voting for every "D" I see on the ballot, I shall henceforth work with my suburban neighbors and carefully scrutinize the candidates for the Illinois General Assembly to ensure we select only state legislators who believe in the Constitution and who will find Henry Clay clones to send to Washington D.C."

“his willingness to take of this daunting task of saving our country is one of the most selfless acts by anyone I’ve ever witnessed.”

Amen. I saw an interview with Trump that took place many years ago. In it he states that he would never consider running for president unless the country is moving in a totally wrong direction. He’s good on his word.

He crass and crude but firmly believes in God, the constitution and the middle class. I thank God for that.

I think his speech in Poland was the equivalent of “Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall”.

Boy did I get teary eyed! Aaaand I miss Jonhn Paul II!!

Time for all Republican state legislators and the governor to just up and quit, walk out the door and never come back.

Give the state to the Democrats. Let them explain to those who remain why their taxes keep going up, why businesses are leaving, why Chicago had the highest shooting victims rate in the county, why their colleges are full of communist/Marxists/black racist teachers, and why the rich white liberals DON’T LIVE IN THE SHOOTING DISTRICTS.

I’d love to see how long the state would last as a viable political entity. Then build a wall around Chicago and not let anyone out.

Coming to a theater near you, “Escape From Chicago”, starring lead ballerina, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Democrat leader of their House, Madigan, congressional reps including Little Dickless Durbin, Danny the Red Davis, and others on the City Council.

If this happens, bring a very big bag of popcorn, sodas, and heavy weapons. The zombies are going to try to make a break from the insane asylum. “Rick” won’t let them if he has the will to oppose them. BUILD THE WALL, MR. PRESIDENT!
