I don’t think that’s how it works Gov. Prickster but....
When are people in your state going to get enough of this authoritarian?

Mike Davis, a lawyer and close Trump ally, told The Post Friday that he expects a superseding indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia that may target others involved in the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign.

There’s not much we can do with a gerrymandered state. There is a super majority in the General Assembly, even though the districts are conservative.
The only way for this to change is for Democrats to wake up, illegals to be deported, and mail-in balloting to stop.
ALL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS...
Fiscal Fallout: Illinois spending swells 43% under Pritzker
https://www.aol.com/articles/fiscal-fallout-illinois-spending-swells-120000054.html
EXCERPT:
(The Center Square) – Discretionary spending by Illinois state leaders has increased more than $16 billion since J.B. Pritzker became governor nearly seven years ago.
That is a total increase of about 43%. Before Pritzker, the state’s general fund spending was roughly flat or had modest increases, according to state data. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner was in office for part of that time.
In the years of financial data reviewed by The Center Square, Democrats have been in control of the state legislature and most statewide offices. A notable exception was Rauner’s single, four-year term as governor.
“When it comes to overall taxes and the burden on taxpayers, much more has happened over the past six years,” said Ravi Mishra, a researcher for the Illinois Policy Institute, a spending hawk. “Having one party basically in control over your state gives a bit too much power to do whatever they want.”
Government spending in recent years has soared in states after the coronavirus pandemic, thanks to large influxes of federal taxpayer funding and high sales tax revenues from more consumer spending and inflation.
The three annual budgets Illinois lawmakers approved following the start of the pandemic had general fund spending increases of about $6 billion. In the past three years, the annual spending increased another $9 billion to a total of about $55 billion.
That guy is in GREAT shape!
Remember the fad in the 70's with the Wacky Packages of card and stickers? Like "Head and Boulders"?
I bet a whole bunch of this spending goes to illegals.
That’s a good idea.
Would be a great seller with MAGA.

President Trump’s recent comments to Attorney General Bondi are PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE and follow in the tradition of our greatest Presidents/Founders, such as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.
In fact, they all directed specific prosecutions. Like them, President Trump is the nation’s Chief Prosecutor under our Constitution.
As Professor Sai Prakash, a former Justice Clarence Thomas clerk, has written in a compelling law review article, titled The Chief Prosecutor, “presidential control of official prosecutions was not something controversial (or worse yet, contrary to law) … The presidents understood that they were constitutionally empowered to direct official prosecutions. Presidents ordered prosecutions commenced and halted, sometimes doing both in the same case!”
President George Washington ordered prosecutions of those involved in the Whiskey rebellion in 1792 and 1793. But after concluding that two men had not been involved in the Rebellion, Washington directly ordered the Pennsylvania federal district attorney to not pursue charges.
President John Adams personally and vigorously directed his Attorney General and district attorneys to prosecute specific individuals for violating the Alien and Sedition Acts, and in certain circumstances, drop some of those prosecutions.
President Jefferson, who had publicly criticized this law and the Adams’ Administration enforcement of it, reversed course and ordered these prosecutions dropped.
As Jefferson explained in a private letter: “The President is to have the laws executed. He may order an offense then to be prosecuted. If he sees a prosecution put into a train which is not lawful, he may order it to be discontinued and put into a legal train.”
For example, President Thomas Jefferson ordered the arrest of Aaron Burr for treason. Jefferson publicly stated Burr was guilty before Burr was indicted by a grand jury. And Jefferson personally directed the Burr prosecution.
More recently, President Theodore Roosevelt personally ordered his DOJ to prosecute the Northern Securities Company for antitrust violations; President Reagan directed his DOJ to close a criminal antitrust investigation; President Bush ordered his DOJ to conduct a criminal investigation into the Rodney King case; and President Obama directed his DOJ in the prosecution of police officers. These are just a few examples of the norm of Presidential control over prosecution.
Post-Watergate laws that sought to break the centuries old understanding that the President controls prosecutions by creating prosecutors independent of the President are now widely understood to be completely unconstitutional.
No, the DOJ is not, nor has ever been, an independent agency not subject to the control of the President. It is part of the Executive Branch and the AG and all U.S. Attorneys are under the direct control of President Trump.
(In fact, most, if not all, post-Watergate laws and so-called “norms” have been meant to cripple the Presidency. Thank God President Trump is fighting back on all fronts against this assault on the Executive).
Democrats and their media allies gaslight us all by pretending that the DOJ is independent. Joe Biden has always been corrupt and ran his DOJ to attack his opponents, most especially Donald Trump (recall the baseless and outrageous raid on President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago), or protecting his allies and family, like Biden’s utterly corrupt and degenerate son, Hunter Biden.

MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian says the Comey indictment is “Trump’s revenge.”
Catherine Herridge just dropped receipts showing the case is locked, loaded and tied directly to Comey’s own leaks — even classified ones.
Her reporting shows the FBI’s declassified “Arctic Haze” probe linked him to classified leaks funneled through subordinates & his Columbia professor buddy.
This clearly isn’t revenge. It’s accountability.

You know, the left is going to attempt to cow us by toxifying the word revenge. I think a case could be made to embrace the word. There has to be an underlying reason why a host of 70 million plus would consider using revenge. Can we talk about that with the leftist scum?
You can’t take about anything with a leftist demonrat.
They are all deaf to your commonsense arguments.
Seems to be a mental block.
What a disgusting response.
No word from @CAgovernor, but his staff minions run to X to deflect from their state's gross incompetence.
You want a fact, Governor?
Here’s one: California issued 25% of the state’s non-domiciled CDLs ILLEGALLY!
Fix this problem or lose… https://t.co/BeyShKqxbo pic.twitter.com/2O9xsquxiD— Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) September 27, 2025
It appears the Secretary of Transportation is having a challenging time understanding the road rules.
Unlike him, we’ll stick to the facts: California commercial driver’s license holders have a fatal crash rate nearly 40% LOWER than the national average.
And when you look at… https://t.co/374dffYxLF— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) September 26, 2025
California is the worst offender when it comes to trucking licenses, according to @FMCSA’s ongoing audit: more than 25% of non-domiciled CDLs were issued ILLEGALLY!
My message to @CAgovernor: You’re putting the safety of your citizens at risk. Fix it NOW.
Here are the receipts… pic.twitter.com/tJaQ4QerAg— Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) September 26, 2025

Before the September 7, 2016 investigative referral about the “Clinton Plan” that Comey testified to Congress in 2020 he couldn’t remember...
Comey was part of a discussion of it in the Oval Office with Obama, Biden, Clapper and Brennan.
It appears Graham didn’t realize in the September 30, 2020 Judiciary Committee hearing that Comey was part of the briefing of “President Obama and other senior national security officials” on the Clinton Plan, written to Graham about a day earlier by DNI Ratcliffe, or Graham could have shifted his questioning to that in the face of Comey’s memory loss.
Six days after Comey’s testimony before Senate Judiciary, DNI Ratcliffe declassified Brennan’s notes from the August 3, 2016 Oval Office briefing, where Comey heard from Brennan about the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”
Ratcliffe undoubtedly saw Comey feign ignorance to the Judiciary Committee in Comey’s testimony about the Clinton Plan.
Yet Comey’s name didn’t appear on the heavily-redacted version of Brennan’s notes Ratcliffe made public, so it wasn’t until the Durham Report was released on May 12, 2023 that it was revealed to the public that Comey was in the August 3, 2016 briefing—and that Brennan had discussed at least some of the related intelligence with Comey on July 29, 2016.
No matter how imprecise Graham’s question and Comey’s answer were, it’s impossible to believe that when Comey testified before the Senate on September 30, 2020, he didn’t remember having learned about the Clinton Plan in the summer of 2016—either two days before or three days after he ordered the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign.
In other congressional testimony, he had essentially cited its source (the hacked Russian emails) as being the reason he felt he had to announce the outcome of the Hillary Clinton investigation himself, since those same emails alleged Loretta Lynch’s leaking to the Clinton campaign.
And since Comey refused to be interviewed by Durham’s team for his special counsel review, they weren’t able to ask Comey about the clear contradiction.
So although this count wasn’t approved by the grand jury, hopefully the substance is still pursued in the congressional obstruction count.

He [Chuck The Schmuck Schumer] needs to be investigated for everything… Find something… Make something up if necessary.
No need to make anything up.
Schmucky graduated from law school 49 years ago in 1974.
After graduation he immediately went into politics and since then has never held a job outside of government.
Yet he is a multi-millionaire.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that he didn't accumulate millions of dollars in wealth on his government salaries.
Harry Truman, the last honest democrat president, had something to say about politicians who get wealthy in office.
