Heard there’s been a breakthrough on the miracle mile. Oh, break IN. Not breakthrough. Sounds like ‘mare’ larry lightloafers need to put stricter gun laws into effect.

Black Lives Matter riots good.

Orange Man still BAD.

For (insert issue, here) COVID, economy, crime rates, welfare, etc., etc.

The motto of EVERY lib led city/state.

OK, that’s it. From now on, rioters and looters without masks get ticketed.

I’m glad to hear riots and vandalism and looting is over and you’ve arrested everyone of the criminals...

Stores being looted on the Magnificent Mile will have a 10-person max capacity.
Rioters, please take a number and stand 6’ apart in line.

The Left: “Let all the criminals out of jail to protect them from Corona virus.”

Also the Left: “Put anyone who won’t wear a mask in jail to protect us from Corona virus.”
