SPRINGFIELD — Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday compared President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian playbook” to the rise of the Nazis as he unveiled a $55.2 billion spending plan that also saves the state more than $400 million by nixing a health care program for adults who lack legal status.

The overused “Nazi” tag isn’t working anymore, Porkzer.

America has been so generous in giving away other people's money that now that the well is dry, the entitlement monkeys are irate. "There's no more money. We're broke."
And the spoiled adult children of the senile father are, "Well, now what are we going to do?"

JB Pritzker, a Jew, equates the Trump Admin to Nazi Germany. Okay, I will play along. No Jews were killed by the Trump Administration which is like Nazi Germany. Ergo, the holocaust never happened.

Pritzker has aspirations of becoming President. He has no idea of how out of touch he is with normal Americans. Without dem voter fraud, Pritzker would be smoked in a Presidential election. The concern would be Illinois (Daley) type voter fraud such as got Kennedy elected.

Someone with more info than myself:
Did Illinois ever get their pension debt relieved by the corrupt xiden admin? (recall the headlines)
I’m pretty sure that ever happened. /s Their public pension debt was reported at $144 billion in 12/2024 and now they want to add another $30 billion.
Years ago, we saw the media crying about state bankruptcies due to pension debt. That included CA, OR...and IL.
I say give ‘em more rope.

Let’s get away from this Nazi crap. It doesn’t do anything to prove a political point and makes one think those who use it have nothing substantial to base their political stance on.
