“Vallas will be best”

Don’t you mean least worst?

Four Demon’s running and not one can get %50+1 of the votes to win. I am so glad I moved out of Illinois in 1977. Now that most of my family is dead, I have no reason to even go there, unless I have to drive through it to get to Missoui.

Probably the most openly racist mayor of Chicago that ever infested that office. Her policy was to “not do interviews with white journalists.”

The city will vote racist too. Does not matter policy, white guy is toast.

“a model city that once enjoyed a world wide reputation.”

The skyline is beautiful—many amazing buildings.

It is when your feet touch the ground that things start to get ugly.

Architects think they can change the world for the better. Chicago proves once and for all that no city can be better than the people who live in it.

When a whole city of Marxists is destroying itself, get out of the way.

Chicago (and many other Democrat/Marxist cities) are lost and beyond any hope. Let them self-destruct... a problem that will take care of itself, naturally.

President Trump was willing to do that.

President Biden and the Democrats keep throwing billions of dollars to them to keep them afloat and buy votes.

Democrat vs Democrat.

Nothing changes.

Some are better than others.

Some are corrupt political hacks who want to keep the gravy train running.

Others are raving-loony, gender-bending, anti-white racists who want to burn it all down.

“Lori Lightfoot, the first Black woman and the first openly gay person ever to serve as mayor of Chicago...”

SO historic. How’d THAT turn out? About as well as all the “historic” members of the Biden administration. The most historic administration in history. Incompetant freaks and losers.

The Crook County Democrat Machine decided they had enough of Mayor Lightweight so now it’s on to another pair of puppet stooges they will decide on and select as Chicago’s new “mayor”.
