Never mind this. How many diet sodas did President Trump drink today?

Chi-ca-go, Chi-ca-go...that toddlin' town.
Chi-ca-go, Chi-ca-go...I'll show you around...
slow night!
The shop keeper needs more range time.
clearly a new program.

Ahh... Merry Christmas to you, too, Chicago....
Not to make light of the deaths, but when will the news announce 'This week, there's no murders in Chicago'? I believe AL Capone andd John Dillinger would not feel safe in Chicago now..
That would be the only group watching Thursday Night Football.
