yup! how that fake-named HilLIARy campaign manager ever became mayor of a great city like NYC is appalling.
but he sure reminds us how lucky we were to not elect HilLIARy or her D gang!

Inform all the wealthy liberals living on the Gold Coast that they’re going to have their taxes increased.

Tell them that they should be happy they are paying more taxes in return for a “better” Chicago.

That is chump change compared to how big of a hole Fred Flintstone (Gov Pritzker) is digging the state into with his Covid testing schemes un-used makeshift hospitals and endless shutdowns. If Biden doesn’t get in and bail Illinois out this state is going to collapse financially. And these politicians know it!!

What could possibly have caused it. Can’t be shutting down the economy.

Lightfoot is getting a crash course in economics. Unfortunately, she won’t learn anything.

I’ll give Groot a thousand bucks for that Picasso statue in Dalely Plaza. That should help her out a little. And there’s a couple of things in the museum I might bid on, too.
