Pritzker’s edicts allow people to stand in line to buy whiskey at a liquor store (and pay the taxes) but forbids them to kneel together in a church.
One day he reacts angrily, defensively when he’s challenged by legitimate questions — like where his wife has been during the stay-at-home order. And at other times he speaks in soft tones, a billionaire who never worried about paying his bills, wanting to be liked.
Even watching him on screen at his carefully stage-managed daily news briefings, you get a troubling sense of softness there, like watching John Travolta play gangster John Gotti in a bad movie.
This isn’t personal. His government has shut down the Illinois economy. There are people terrified about losing their jobs.
Now they’re pushing back, particularly against his notion that he can just keep issuing executive order after executive order every 30 days, clamping down on an already ruined economy, without having the legislature approve it all by law.
“History will remember,” Pritzker said, “those who so blindly devoted to ideology and pursuit of personal celebrity that they made an enemy of science and reason.”
It’s called the Bill of Rights, governor. If we give that up so easily, we’re done.
Coronavirus is dangerous, yes, but perhaps not as deadly as we were once told to believe, with terrifying projections of a million or more deaths. The 3,000-bed emergency hospital at McCormick Place that Pritzker demanded the White House build is virtually empty.
Pritzker has been propped up by sympathetic media, and without them, he’d cave. He’s lashed out at President Donald Trump, and most pundits loathe Trump, who wants to open up the economy even as Pritzker tries to keep a lid on it.

where his wife has been during the stay-at-home order
If there is Reasonable Suspicion she Violated the Lockdown Order, wouldn’t a Few Hundred Thousand CITIZEN ARREST Complaints, Officially Filed get the ball rolling on this scofflaw??
The one “benefit” of Covid-19... is it has laid bare the (mostly Democrat) tyrant wannabes who demand to RULE us like serfs, not govern by our consent as citizens. They will strangle us for our own “good” and “safety!”
It’s very unwise for government officials to push Americans towards rebellion. For that rebellious spirit still lives in many of us!
Pritzker at his core is a wimp. His wife just ignores him.
Unfortunately, way too many Americans are OK with it or at least apathetic about it.
The gun club we belong to wrote to AG Barr last week requesting some help forcing Governor Creosote to allow us to reopen the 300 acre private facility to reopen.
They copied the US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. We will see if they’re all talk or not.

Used to bug me all the northerners moving to my state....I get it now.
The slogan should be
“Your Own Wife Ignores You, Governor, Why Shouldn’t We?”
...Used to bug me all the northerners moving to my state....I get it now.
Just keep them out of mine (E. Tenn) unless they convert to the local religion
Can you imagine Prickzker on the D-day landing?
Before you know it its going to be Friday night, 90 degrees on the south side. Who’s going to go there to enforce this nonsense. Try to arrest some of these people, give them a reason to riot. These rat governors can sit in their mansions and decree but the blue inner cities in LA, NYC, Detroit and Chicago will not heed them.
This is what happens when vapid, billionaire leftists achieve political power. Be grateful that Bloomberg flamed out.
I think your safe my friend. The old ones come here to find their warm “place in the sun”.
Don’t forget his billionaire cousin.
Bloombergs run was .....short.
I’m sure in the heat of battle he would be right behind you.

Proper spelling has been noted.
I think there will be parties on the South Side, and in Chicago, the suburbs are more left than Chicago is.
