Hearing from a friend who's a State Rep. on the southwest side of Chicago that Governor Prickster (that's what we call him here) is expected to "lockdown" Illinois tomorrow (Saturday.)
Once again, the fat POS is going to follow the "lead" of California.
He looks a lot like Fred Flintstone.
according to people from illinois he acts like fred flintstone.
Nahhhhh! The "Abolish the 17th amendment" crowd has "educated" me, over and over, that since Abe Lincoln and the Civil War, or since 1917, OR since 1964 (they can't make up their minds which date), states have lost all authority to govern themselves and become worthless, figurehead puppets of the federal government. Obviously poor powerless Pritzker can't decide ANYTHING for Illinois citizens and just meekly does whatever Trump tells him to, and the only way to give Illinois government any power would be to abolish the eeeeeeeeeeeevil 17th amnedment and let crooked politicians from Chicago decide our Senators for us.
Meanwhile, back in the REAL world...
The fat fascist looks like he is one French fry away from a heart attack.
Funny thing. I can’t find a copy of this “order” on the Governors website. You’d think a copy would be available.
Hmmmm.

“and let crooked politicians from Chicago decide our Senators for us.”
Like they ain’t doing that already.
Snort.
L
If’s that urgent then why not lockdown ASAP?
I meant If it’s.
It would be much more effective to temporarily lock down the elderly/at risk and send the yelling fire in a theater Wu Flu addicts to FEMA isolation camps.
LOL!
Inside every Pritzker, there’s a Chris Christie waiting to get out.
He’s a billionaire trust fund baby.
“Like they ain’t doing that already.”
No kidding. That’s how we got saddled with ObaMugabe. Crooked Chicago politicians and the reprehensible Chicago Tribune.
Peter Fitzgerald would have never been Senator from Illinois is the “abolish the 17th amendment” crowd had their way.
“Peter Fitzgerald would have never been Senator from Illinois is the “abolish the 17th amendment” crowd had their way.”
One term. Zero accomplishments as as Senator. What’s your point?
L
Which contradicts YOUR point that "Chicago picks the Senators anyway".
Of course, if the "abolish the 17th amendment" crowd had their way, Fitzgerald would have never become Senator. The gerrymandered IL state legislature would have simply made Carol Moseley Braun Senator for life.
Never worked a real job in his life. Hyatt hotel money.
You are not smarter than Jefferson, Adams, and Madison.

Neither are you. The founding fathers provided ways to AMEND the constitution for a reason. Unlike you, they realized not everything they wrote down in 1787 would be perfect as-is.
