Chicago Mayoral Ballot

[Penn]

Lightfoot is toast, but no worries about any change, the number of candidates ruled out anyone straying from the agenda, 8 + CANDIDATES ensures a run off that will be between a true belivers.

Don't worry, Chi-town will not disappoint. They'll elect another dem from the same cloth...

Meet the new boss...same as the old boss...

Yes, They will

I see she blamed the media for her loss. It was how they treated her because of her color and gender and not due to the current state of affairs within the city. How they never made a Snake Plissken movie about Chicago eludes me. She Seemingly forgets how well she did playing that same card to get elected in the first place.

I read a great line in the Washington Examiner yesterday

"Anti-racism is an industry, not a movement"

My sources behind the lines checked in tonight and advised that the remainder of the choices have their own level of grift that attends. The Brandon guy, not surprisingly, is on record that looting is an appropriate response. The other guy, Vallas, is also heavily tainted. The sources have access to the information over a substantial period of time, are in a position to know, and have reported reliably in the past. We'll get them out to a free area for a full debrief this summer that will include campfires and gun ranges.

I find it absolutely hilarious that on a NATIONAL scale - we as a nation expect anything less from the city that gave us names like...
Diamond Joe
Pappa Johnny
Buggsy Moran
Babby Face Nelson
John Dillinger
Al Capone
Barry Soetoro
-aka Barack Hussein Obama
-aka Barry Obama
-aka Barack Dunham
-aka Barry Dunham
Dan Rostenkowski
Dennis Hastert
Jessie Jackson Jr
Len Small
Otto Kerner
George Ryan
Rod Blagojevich
etc
etc
etc

We are talking about an entire state that literally lays claim to a history of recorded government corruption and election fraud that predates their actual admission to the Union of States.
For fuck sake people - 4 out of the last 11 governors of the state have gone to PRISON on corruption charges.

A state that elected a humanoid lizard character from a Sid and Marty Croft Saturday morning children's adventure television series as the mayor of their biggest city. A city that led the nation in mass shootings under her watch - despite having some of the nation’s most stringent and constitutionally unbalanced gun laws. A mayor that advocates for an elected school board when she needs votes but then fights against it as soon as she gets elected.
...and still, people say things like "they'll probably just elect another corrupt liberal socialist democrat"

In other news – climate scientists have uncovered proof that the sun will in fact set in the west later this evening – they are pursuing government grants for a research study that is expected to forecast an east coast sunrise tomorrow morning…
…if we don’t get rid of our gas burning stoves and nonelectric automobiles TODAY.
