    “Does this outfit make me likable, be honest”


  21. - justpeachy - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:18 pm:

  28. - Gruntled University Employee - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:22 pm:

    No, you need to talk to Governor Rauner, see I’m Biker Rauner. Not to be confused with Farmer Rauner or Wood Worker Rauner or Trash Can Van Rauner etc…


  29. - Anonymous - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:23 pm:

    I know this isn’t Stolen Valor, but it still just looks wrong.

    And not because he’s a dork;

    Because he appears to be impersonating a biker/vet.


  30. - Whatever - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:24 pm:

    What, you’re saying I look ridiculous?

  40. - Dee Lay - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:35 pm:

    Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or… well, like Bruce, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.


  41. - Leigh John-Ella - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:38 pm:

  45. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:44 pm:

    “I got this one in Sturgis… mail order, but the package was postmarked Sturgis… “


  46. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:45 pm:

    “I’m not a wanna-be. You see all the money I spent to not be a wanna-be? You don’t put this much effort in time, costumes, learning to ride a bike short distances to be labeled a wanna-be”


  47. - Regular democrat - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:46 pm:

    Anonymous @ 3:23 — Agree with you. This is just wrong on so many levels.


  72. - 47th Ward - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:29 pm:

    Sorry lady, I’m not in charge. Why don’t you ask one of the big fellas over in the tent. Maybe they know where the port-o-potties are.


  73. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:29 pm:

    ===Miller Ministry of Truth===

    Is that like a Harry Potter thing?

    “Caption?”

    “You’re telling me Jason Plummer is over there, in the same costume, including the hat? He doesn’t let up, that kid.”


  74. - Silicon Prairie - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:29 pm:

    I’m noticin’ the little pin there. That’s like a signal isn’t it? A signal. A secret signal for the Secret Service. Hey, what kind of guns do you guys carry? .38s, .45s, .357 Magnums

  78. - Al - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:44 pm:

    Yeah, it is a six ounce can of beer. A little trick I learned partying in Florida with my buddy Trump. Makes my hands look mythilogically Paul Bunyon size huuge.


  79. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:44 pm:

    “You just came from the beer table? Did you see a pair of sunglasses over there, I misplaced mine… “


  80. - Henry Francis - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:47 pm:

    I have a serious question. Assuming Bruce loses the election to JB - on innaguration day does JB walk up to Bruce, take out his big Bowie knife and cut the “Governor” patch off the vest?

    What will he do with Bruce’s tats?


  81. - Quizzical - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 5:22 pm:

    I actually think I deserve another medal for staying up all night pourin’ and reasealin’ Chateau de Pape into these Old Style cans.

  93. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 7:47 pm:

    ===Can’t believe Willy missed that one.===
