From 2001!
I suspect many of the links will be dead, but many will be accessible via archive.org.
The point being, thinking people have known for decades this fake holiday was an evil joke.
Sick country preaching to China and others ...I’d rather live in China than Chicago , SF or NY .
I find this funny that for a fake holiday created by a man who was a sexual abuser, why hasn’t it been canceled by #metoo.
If Cancel Culture was consistent, Rap Music would be a thing of the past.
It looked like Herman Munster married Beetle Juice...a total freak show.
I recall her telling Trump to go to hell when he offered help.
Well Lori is already in Hell, she lives in Chicago.
Trump demonstrated leadership by being pro active, Lightfoot has to beg Biden for help.
Trump should have responded, "Sorry, but I have no desire to visit Chicago."
Racists!
What black elites, this is all the doing of White Elites, who use their step-n-fetch-it types, like Lightfoot to do their bidding.
That Beetlejuice critter is gay??
Daylight come and me wanna go home!
