Vallas must bring to mind the good old days when the Daley machine ran everything and the whole city was corrupt but safe.

Having Brandon Johnson as the other runoff candidate will open up the opportunity to cheer him on, the slogan is already there for the taking...

The mob took their 20% and everything ran like clockwork.

There’s some sanity left in Chicago. Good riddance to Beetlejuice.

GREAT NEWS!!!

A crack in the clouds?

I'll wait to see if this is a one off, with the most horrible candidate imaginable, or the starting of a new era. Color me skeptical.

She is not worried since being an African-American lesbian, she has a much higher victimhood qualification score than the current of the Secretary of Transportation, but her inverse job performance as Mayor clinches the Cabinet spot.

Biden will undoubtedly give her a position in his administration; she will be taken care of with a position somewhere in the Dem apparatus. Dems take care of the most inept of their own. The Peter Principle; rising to the top level because of their incompetency.

The deep state in Chicago has cracked open like a rotten egg. Try not to inhale the stink. Your nose will love you.
