Protests Planned Ahead of President Trump's Chicago Visit
WMAQ-TV ^ | October 27, 2019

Posted on 10/27/2019 5:21:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

For the first time in his presidency, President Donald Trump will visit Chicago on Monday for a pair of scheduled events.

The president will address the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference at McCormick Place, and will also attend a fundraiser at the Trump International Hotel and Tower during his visit.

Trump’s visit to Chicago is his first since March 2016, when protests canceled a scheduled rally at the then-UIC Pavilion at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Campaign organizers told those planning to attend the rally for then-candidate Trump that after consulting with law enforcement, the decision was made to postpone the event.

Several groups are planning protests in the Loop on Monday. Indivisible Chicago is planning to hold a rally and march at 11:30 a.m. near the corner of Wabash and Wacker, and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is rallying at the intersection of Adams and Michigan.

Sure - Murdock’ll pay them and bus them all in and most won’t even know why. Breitbart showed how clueless most of these so-called protesters are.

The whole protest is over the Juicy Smooyay incident.

They’re looking for the mystery MAGA hats.

I do love that the television station is giving potential rioters, uh, I mean protestors, directions on where to meet up with the other peacecreeps and hippies.

$50, a box lunch, a pre-printed sign and a bus ride.

Brings back memories of the Chicago Seven and the leftist democrat radicals at the 1968 Dem convention in the city.

“The president will address the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference at McCormick Place...”

YIKES! That’s going to be very interesting. Wonder if the Enemy Media will cover all of the justified complaints the Chi-Town Cops have against their elected leaders?

“...and will also attend a fundraiser at the Trump International Hotel and Tower during his visit.”

He’ll be safe there, but are donors willing to travel that far to Chicago to help him raise cash? We shall see.

Either way, prayers up for his safety above all else. Amen!

“ News on that same page said that the Chicago Police Superintendent won’t attend the meeting.”

He’s got his own problems right now. He will most likely be out by Friday.

CAGW Names Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker September 2019 Porker of the Month
Citizens Against Government Waste ^ | September 2019 | Citizens Against Government Waste

Posted on 9/28/2019, 10:14:46 PM by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) named Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker (D) September 2019 Porker of the Month for signing a $40.1 billion budget without any spending restraints and $1.4 billion in pork-barrel projects.

223.9 billion shortfall, which breaks down to a debt burden of $52,600 per taxpayer. The state has $6 billion in unpaid bills and the lowest credit rating of any state in the country. Its unfunded pension liability tops $130 billion. Illinois taxpayers are so saddled with debt, taxes, corrupt local government, and dwindling middle-class jobs that 157,000 residents have left over the past five years.

Think he’ll make it that long? The NO CONFIDENCE vote by the rank and file after Special Ed announced he wouldn’t be attending the President’s speech spoke VOLUMES.

“What for?”

Being found passed out behind the wheel of his City owned vehicle last week. He admitted to having “a couple” of drinks.

Yea, I do. He will get past Trump being in town tomorrow and then he will resign Friday to “work on his health” and “spend more time” with his family.
