I live in the Chicago area ... well, 30 miles SW of it anyway but still in the Chicago news media market.

That's what got all the media attention.

Use

width=”100%”

within your image html tag, with a space before and after it.(don’t need a space between it and < or > though) That will make it fit everyone’s screen width, no matter the size of their screen. Can go at the beginning or end.

Good to see the American spirit still somewhat alive even in shitcago. The police hate the city “administration” even more than I do if that is possible. Generally, leave them and others alone and they’ll leave you alone.

Using the Barack Obama method, Lori Lightfoot is ginning new Conservatives. They don’t even realize it’s happening to them.

Hopefully the size of these is more reasonable:

Good, people need to start rising up as appropriate. Certainly closing public parks is one good example.

“Everything seems bigger in Chicago”

Even more so when viewing this thread?

How is Newsom going to close beaches in California, if Lightfoot can’t keep people out of Chicago parks?

Not exactly local TV, Second City Cop will probably get around to it?

Rules for Thee, but Not for Me:
M.K. Pritzker, the billionaire wife of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), is reportedly skipping out on her husband’s stringent lockdown orders, jetting off to their $12.1 million equestrian estate in South Florida — a state that has refused to implement what Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) described as “draconian” measures as a response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Fatass said it was “disrespectful” to question him about his wife ignoring the “essential travel only” restrictions while he threatens everyone with “Stay at home or else!” executive orders that run afoul of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I’m also rooting for those families with ... uh ... “financial interests” in Nevada casinos to get that state’s governor off his Democrat/Left arse and reopen the state which remains locked down. (Well, Nevada does have 4,934 Chinese Flu cases — 3,891 of which were in Clark County/Las Vegas — which have resulted in 237 deaths — 196 of which were in Clark County/Las Vegas — out of a population of over 3,000,000.)

Well, the spandex in the last picture looks nice. I'm thinking she may be innocent. ;-)
