Chicago Tribune ^

Lightfoot refused to elaborate on the specific threats, but said she receives them daily against herself, her wife and her home. Comparisons to how the Police Department has protected previous mayors’ homes, such as Rahm Emanuel’s Ravenswood residence, are unfair because “this is a different time like no other,” Lightfoot told reporters.

Don’t worry; Groot will be a one-term mayor. Even people who voted for her are sick of her now.

Lori has a right. But no one else does.

So do other residents of Illinois, but you are staunchly anti-gun.

Yes, she let’s them tear up other people’s property and lives but not hers. She’s above it all - a high Marxist party member.

How in hell do these people get elected.
= = = = = = = = = =
Not so much elected, it is the REelection of these fools that is mindboggling.

One could see BO and his 1st term when you add everything up but the SECOND one is amazing. (NO, I did NOT)

This ‘ain’t her first rodeo’ and one must wonder what they ran against.

NY saw fit to reelect DeBlasio- so bad enough that is the best a city of 8 million (give or take-using old #s) could come up with but TWICE????

Actually, to be dumb enough to publicly ADMIT that, should deem them unqualified to hold the position.

“...Oink oink. Inequality is the problem. Oink....”

All animals are equal but some are more equal and can have HCQ and LEO protection. The BeetleJuice demon should meet with them.....out on the street....unarmed like it’s constituents have to.

Sure, Lightweight. Don’t touch my junk, but let the rest of the city burn. I don’t know what’s more galling: her hypocrisy, or the fact that so many Chicongoans are staring right at it and don’t see it. If I was a sapient life form, I’d strap Granny to the roof of the station wagon and get the hell out of Illinois, period.

Every American should feel secure in their homes—what kind of sociopath are these Democrats who can’t seem to _get_ _it_.

My eyes, my eyes. I think they fell out. Such ugliness can’t be unseen.

Cannot imagine why any protestor wants to be within a mile of those its.
