    Dibozio has just lost what little mind d he had. I hope the State Troopers do what their leader wants and completely pulls out of that ****e hole and not look back.

    Best thing I saw on youtube yesterday were the Brits in one town having a set on them that Americans aren't showing. BLM put up a statue of a BLM leader where they had torn down and destroyed a historical monument. The town promptly hired a company to remove it. The video of that statue being driven away in a dumpster was priceless.

    Good grief. **** if I know. That dopes mom was from Oklahoma and when she passed away we thought we were done with him. I thought Con-ye and his fat ass ugly wife were trump boot lickers? Isnt he running on the democratic ticket? Tbh, my head is already full of enough useless information and I dont care to pile more on. Hopefully he goes door knocking in Laflore county and just disappears. The last kid we fostered loved Kan-yuck and it drove me effing nuts. Some of the worst music I've ever heard. The only thing I ever saw about him and liked was the South Park episode. But I digress, I hope he wins bc it just prove that Idiocracy is farther along than previously thought. He is nothing more than a pouty man child and I'd love to square up against him though but then again kicking the turd out of him wouldnt be much of a challenge.

    Finally some good political news.

    Please let the son of a @#$!$ rot in a cell somewhere alone and cringing in fear.....

    https://www.illinoispolicy.org/feds-implicate-madigan-in-comed-bribery-case/

    Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is implicated in a federal bribery case against Commonwealth Edison, alleging the utility won Madigan’s favor to back legislation by directing $1.3 million in contracts and payments to his associates and letting him name people for jobs, from meter reader on up.

    Madigan’s office July 17 received a grand jury subpoena for documents related to the ongoing federal investigation, according to WGN. According to Mark Maxwell of WCIA-TV, Capitol Police at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield saw men in suits enter the building Friday morning. One flashed an FBI badge.

    Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker called on Madigan to resign if the allegations are true. Madigan said they aren’t true, and he is cooperating.

    The deferred prosecution agreement with ComEd was released Friday and outlined years of bribery involving “Public Official A,” who was later referred to as Illinois’ House speaker. ComEd agreed to a $200 million fine and to admit seeking Madigan’s help with legislation worth more than $150 million to the company. Criminal charges will be dropped against the utility if it satisfies the agreement. Madigan himself is not charged with bribery.








    https://www.illinoispolicy.org/democratic-state-senator-calls-on-madigan-to-resign/


    Six hours after news broke that Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan was implicated in federal bribery charges against Commonwealth Edison, one Democratic state senator called for his resignation.

    State Sen. Melinda Bush, D-Grayslake, called for Madigan to resign based on his actions as a state lawmaker, even though charges have not been filed against him. Bush said Madigan’s involvement with ComEd’s bribery scheme is enough for him to resign from office.

    “I would encourage the Speaker to take his own advice and resign not only his Speakership and his legislative seat, but step down as chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois, effective immediately,” Bush said in a statement.

    Bush cited Madigan’s own words from last fall when former state Rep. Luis Arroyo was charged with bribery. At that time, Madigan “urged” Arroyo to resign immediately.

    Gov. J.B. Pritzker also expressed deep concern about Madigan’s implication in the scheme and said he has a lot to answer for.

    “If these allegations of wrongdoing by the Speaker are true, there is no question that he will have betrayed the public trust and he must resign therefore,” Pritzker said.

    Give it about 7 days, the Yuppicrat narrative is going to go full force.

    "American's cannot afford to go back to work. We must make the $600, better than a cruiseline bailout, unemployment bonus permanent".

    AOC and Bernie will start clammoring universal income again, Pelosi and Schumer will start talking about an extension and need for it to become permanent.

    Hell, maybe we can even push for a rioter and looters bonus as well. $100 per window, $500 for a squad car, $1500 per precinct burned and $750 for anyone who was immorally arrested for looting and causing physical harm to another.

    Let's get the American workforce back on the streets.

    I hope this covid bs at least helps people open their eyes and realize the way we are living is unsustainable. People packed in like frigging sardines. It isn't mentally healthy for humans. It isn't good for the spread of disease. It isn't good for the Earth. Maybe Im in the minority thinking like this...don't know. So much technology to make a great life for all, yet the rat race keeps on pounding. Make bigger armies. Make more bombs. Lets do it!

    We’re all familiar with what happens when carrying capacity is reached. That’s all this is. Our species is overpopulated, and nature is correcting it right now.

    If I could like x100 I would on your comment!
