Legal?

We no longer live in a republic.

Legal is what Deep State says it is.

I think Deep State is losing its marbles,though.

Deep State has always been evil.

Now I think we’re seeing evil AND nuts.

Even thoroughly corrupt union bosses understand that, if the mayor can deny them their pensions for this, then they can lose their pensions over anything.

Might as well throw some popcorn into the kettle. This is going to be quality viewing.

Easy, they are trying to kill off the ones who they know will be most effective in resisting them.

We will know it when deaths sky rocket, and most of it will be the people that took the jabs. It is already happening in the UK now, and they are blaming it on a “super cold”.

Exactly what I predicted.

Vax reactions will be blamed on some new, super virulent "variant" of Covid and used to justify more extreme measures than ever; more masking and more lockdowns.

It behooves people to be ready for it. There is still time to prepare but I fear that time is running out quickly.

The way the left is talking, since it's patently obvious they cannot get away with canceling another holiday season, they will make it hell in any way they can. They have already tipped their hand about the methods they are going to use.

People are going to lose their jobs, be denied access places, prices are going to skyrocket, fuel is going to be prohibitively expensive, and the shortages are already planned and being implemented and blamed on the unvaxxed.

My new way of determining what the left is up to is to think of the most nefarious, evil, destructive thing they could do and figure that's what they will implement.

SO far, it's working.

And I don't care is someone tries to manipulate me by saying that I'm being *unchristian* by expecting the worst out of someone. I'm not being unchristian. I'm being realistic.

Satan and his minions will never do anything good. If the Enemy if behind it, then expecting the flat out worst, most inhumane thing from them is realism.

Ultimately, the coronavirus scare is all about money. The elites needed a “final solution” to the defined pension / Social Security time bomb, and this is it.

Look at all the people losing their pensions, and dying earlier than expected. This is a *huge* relief to the billionaire class, who were facing *much* higher taxes if nothing was done. No wonder the stock market is soaring.

Just wow. When does the shooting start (beyond the daily Chicago gang shooting). This is beyond vindictive and the mayor needs to be run out of town on a rail.

Chicago police have intensified their search for the fool that said "Beetlejuice" three times. Union spokesman said that if the person comes forward no charges will be pressed if the result of the incantation can be reversed.

ps. Found the photo using " Mayor Beetlejuice"....amazing number of hits...it's become a meme.

They don’t mention retirement credentials, but it does appear an employee would have to get some documentation regarding service signed off on by a supervisor in the police department.

When you retire, you tell your boss and submit paperwork to HR. HR then coordinates with the Pension agency. If you retire effective immediately it might be a while before you get the first pension payment and it will likely be reduced at least 20% for a few months until work history is verified. Let's say paperwork gets slow walked for 6 months. You will eventually get a lump sum payment for the money withheld.

Remember what George Carlin said a few years before he died, he said, “Now they’re coming after your Social Security, they’re coming after your retirement... and they’re going to get it, because they f’ing own this place.”

He didn’t know how or when, but he knew. And he was right.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Wonder if a full fledged police strike in Chicago or ??? might wake up the Elites and their dangerous mayors?

The Mayor is really, really, stupid.

You have better luck arguing with the Mob than the police Union

Bankruptcy also doesn’t get cities out of pension payment. Illinois Supreme Court shot that down by unanimous decision. The only way to walk away from pension debt is an amendment to the Illinois Constitution.
Else some cities, who have no budget for ANY police or fire or 911 would declare bankruptcy. Some poor suburbs of Chicago don’t even have enough money to write the pension checks. Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that pensions get top priority over all other obligations.
