That city needs an exorcism
And it’s been that way for decades
Yet no one wants to do anything about it. It’s laughable when the Dimwits utter anything about integrity or corruption, etc. Just point out Chicago and they shut right up, even the most partisan can’t defend its politics
Steve Dahl for Mayor? At least the corruption would be funnier.
Chicago is the very best political soap opera ever. So many twists and turns. Wonderful political gymnastics.
Anybody I ask, whom have been a few, readily agrees, “Oh yeah, Daley threw the 1960 election for Kennedy!”
Of course, this was accepted knowledge, by all sides, in that era, complete with details on the shuffling of rigged voting machines by truck.
When I look this up online now, all I see is mealy-mouthed equivocation. Nothing in the way of denial or refutation. And now, by contrast, we have the spectre of “Russian interference” being thrown up at us, even though this had nothing to do with the electoral process, per se, not to mention the campaign for a revolt in the Electoral College, something unheard of in our national history.
Let us steel ourselves!
What is worse is the people know the Rats are corrupt and keep electing them.
Hard to say if Chicago is more corrupt than other places. The corruption is institutionalized. So its hard to say whats illegal any more. Just the fact that there are 50 wards is crazy. The aldermens’ jobs are really to push and pull the city services to benefit one person at the expense of someone else. There is no need for 50 aldermen. Their wards are as gerrymandered as the worst congressional districts. And Chicago has several of those.
But I would say aldermen are all pikers compared to the city unions. Unions have a fraud that is costing far more than anything this or any other aldermen will steal.
Are there any Chicagoan Freepers that can do a little investigation for me? This regards a possible link between Harry Reid, marijuana, possibly the mob and a Chicago lawyer.
All anonymous, by Freepmail.
Not one.
Yes.
And the Tribune is fake news and corrupt.
A suitable site for nuclear testing.
And people actually voted for a presidential candidate from this cesspool.
All they need to do is make the City’s language Mexican (sort of Spanish) and they will be the new Mexico!!!!!
Perhaps a forensic audit of all Chicago aldermen, the mayor, the governor and all Illinois legislators would be in order. Do it across the board, clear those who are clean, and prosecute the rest. Use Illinois as an example, with a clear warning that if the exercise is successful there, it will be applied elsewhere, including the U.S. House and Senate. This could be an early initiative for the new DOJ.
Does anyone know who is in the Progressive Caucus? In the old days, we called them the “Communist Party people”.
