in illinois there is a convicted murderer holding public office. there used to a law against such but the seemingly changed the law just for him. of course he is D. they shrug it off with a "that was long ago". of couse it got no news media.

she aint dumb. she is a phony. she had no problem locking up people for smoking dope while she herself was smoking dope. hypocrite. she was the law and order prosecutor and now she has done a 180. why? is she more interested in power than serving?
well, let me know when she visits east st louis and asks the elected officials where the mandated TIF expenditure reports are. until then, yeah, the VP is more interested in power than serving.

ask howard dean.

has anyone here commenting here watched the clip?
he was quoting the mayor.
shouldnt the rage be directed at the mayor?

it appears this was the "public comments" part of the meeting. it is "public comments", not debate. whomever was chairing that meeting is really weak and needs a copy of "roberts rules of order".

elections have been stolen in illinois for generations, no media/lawyers will touch it.

arent school boards in the US controlled at the local level? how is any state/fed law requiring what is/is not to be taught is legal?

Now tell us there is no exodus from NYC and chi-town.

If it is water that flows to a body of water then the corps of engineers has control of it. We live on the Mississippi river and they often pop up seemingly out of no nowhere to instruct people what can and cannot be done on "their" lands. No, they don't have maps demarking. More like they were granted overly broad sweeping power long ago.

isnt the bedroom on the 2nd floor?

or, maybe calling the other side evil is evil. a pox on both your houses. the two party system ran by extremists is what got us here. both sides to blame with no way out as the fundraise by castigation cycle does not end.

or maybe because the uniparty is going to throw money everywhere until midterms?

china ceded formosa (taiwan) in "perpetuity" to japan circa 1910. following WW2 japan signed over any claims to formosa. the signatory on that agreement was the US. china was not a signatory to that agreement. when pressed, the US state department falls back to strategic ambiguity and says the issued is not settled. would not surprise me to see biden give china free rein re: taiwan.
china just needs to relax. the island isnt going anywhere and the two will continue to grow closer together as time passes. china is very good at playing the long game, an option the west doesnt have due to popular elections. china is scaring lots of folks with how they 1)ignored their promises to HK, 2) are fishing deep in philippines waters. china and taiwan reuniting is an historic inevitabilty as a leader once opined.

some dumb jock made a boo-boo. who cares. what is the next faux outrage.

Illinois counties for years have been suppressing the vote for generations. state law states no more than 800 voters in a precinct. in D precincts they keep the precincts small and manageable and have wonderful tiurn out. In non heavy D precincts they keep them oversized and cumbersome with lower turn out. this suppresses the vote: longer wait times as well as no one steps up to be precinct commiteeperson as it is too big a mess to take on/organize. they have completely gamed the system. there is no legal recourse. but media doesn't cover this systemic voter suppression because, you know... it is different in a D state.
