“Im good at 3 things, ridin’ motorcycles, bustin’ unions, and destroyin’ social services. I’ve already done one of these today, so what’s the other one gonna be? Huh?”
Bruce is late for a motorcycle event, he forgot where he put the prop helmet. Diana calls the doorman at the Chicago Condo to see if the coast is clear of protesters. Diana’s State Employee writes the thank you note to UIUC for having Bruce visit. Lance tweets pictures of Bruce on his motorcycle, “ck” sends an email of Todd Maisch’s quotes to IRN, Goldberg pens a note to the Steelers GM about the NFL Draft. Comedy, 68 minutes.
Generating a great deal of excitement, the Governor said, “hey, watch this!”, then blocked the street and gave anyone who tried to go around him a few million reasons why they shouldn’t.
“Governor, the other Troopers wanted to come but their state issued credit cards aren’t working and their bikes ran out of gas somewhere around Odell… “
Yea I like attending these “Start Seeing Motorcycle” awareness events. Next year I’ll also be attending the “Start Seeing More Homeless, Disabled and People in Need” events!
The Governor shows off his new toy, the Road Rauner. It’s capable of outrunning protesters in 5 seconds and the windshield is impervious to eggs thrown by union workers.
