She’s making even Rahm Emanuel look pretty good.

She let “demonstrators” run rampant through the city looting and vandalizing - until they came to her block. She banned them there. Used the Police on them.

If the Chicago Tribune turns against Lighthead, she is done. The Tribune has been her constant cheerleader - same with all of the Chicago TV and Radio stations. It will be interesting to see how all of these shills turn around and stop adoring Lighthead.

She dug in. And she keeps on digging.
Ain’t gonna admit she’s wrong.
Ain’t gonna admit she sucks.
She’d rather all of Chicago go down than to admit that.
Pretty sick state of affairs.

I talked with a relative in New York City (an Obama voter), who said that everybody thinks that their “progressive” mayor DiBlasio sucks. It is a bi-partisan consensus, and a topic that be safely voiced, even in the midst of the current cancel culture.

The effects of their policies eventually outstrip the rhetoric, and they are shown to be as foolish as they are.

Hereafter known as Mayor NIMBY.
Home security for me, not for thee.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot speaks during a news conference at Olive Park in Chicago on Aug. 14, 2020.

As if her outer ill-favored countenance is not enough, lightweight

lightfoot proudly demonstrates her unsightly inner ugly.

What’s sicker is hoards of Chicagoans not protesting every day in front of her office demanding she resign.

“What’s sicker is hoards of Chicagoans not protesting every day in front of her office demanding she resign.”

The ones who would protest her for incompetence left town years ago - they’re in Indiana, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida or the ‘burbs. At this point, when the sycophant media uses the word “protester” they’re using it as a euphemism for “looter” - and with the cops around, there’s not much loot to be had on Groot’s block.

The Miracle Mile merchants are having their “teaching moment”.

The big city Chamber of Commerce types are very slow learners, but looters have a way of getting the message across—get the f&^% out of the city.

I hope she is stressed by the co sequences of her own stupidity. Even affirmative action has its limits.

Comrades, please don’t think for a minute that Mayor Lightfoot and her wife enjoy have 20 or 30 police officers guarding their home. Nothing could be further from the truth. Having that much police presence makes them both physically ill. But science has shown that safety for their home is vital for the mayor to be able to carry out her duties for the benefit of all Chicagoans—that and a nice haircut.

With apologies to Orwell and Animal Farm
