Looks like a pic I’d be more likely to see in syllabus week with a fraternity. - Precinct Captain - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:21 pm: Can’t keep up with his nonsense if you’ve got whiplash from it! - Oswego Willy - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:25 pm: This one… I’m sorry this one is on me… and HBO. ===So, um, what happened to “Home is worth fighting for”?…=== Season 4, so far, hasn’t been up in the ratings, (as we all hoped), and with a 5th season, (maybe going 8 seasons) on the line, myself, the producers, “Diana” and “Bruce”… we are trying to save “Dad’s Home State”, maybe from true cancelation. From Fake Variety… ===“HBO’s series ‘Dad’s Home State’ has lost significant viewership as Season 4 began. With the whirlwind cast changes, a costume budget only rivaling ‘Cleopatra’, and some significant union issues on and off the set, the immediate future of ‘DHS’ has been an open question for HBO and the producers of the show. The talk of rebranding of Season 4 has led to numerous rollouts for episodes that viewers are turning away from. ‘We are finding “Bruce” is unlikable in our own focus groups, and even viewers in the demo the show had sewn up aren’t liking ‘Bruce’ either. It’s a problem. You can’t have a comedy with an unlikable lead character.’ HBO did not comment for this fake story but unconfirmed reports from HBO had the show plan for a series ending show in January, preceded by a season finale, around Thanksgiving.”=== So… I’m sorry. It’s on me. My bad. - Pundent - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:27 pm: When I was the age of those guys holding the sign I wouldn’t care what it said or have a problem putting on your t-shirt if you promised me a trailer full of cold beer. - Macbeth - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:28 pm: That’s a slogan for war — not a campaign. Inept and tone deaf. - LoyalVirus - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:29 pm: Ice Truck Killer/Rauner 2018 - Real - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:29 pm: Notice they have GovJunk hangin and smilin on the side of a truck trying to appear fun and likable. You’re done Bruce. You wasted 4 years hellbent on Unions as ig that’s all your job entailed. - TopHatMonocle - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:30 pm: Can’t hand out cold hard cash without a refrigerated semi-truck, duh. - Real - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:32 pm: They can change the slogan as many times as they like for the same tour… Either way Bruce is still getting voted out. What he thought changing the name of the tour was going to change something? Lol - Boone's is Back - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:32 pm: ===I see this progressing to full Beastie Boys once Rauner gets the right outfit=== Took the words right out of my mouth. - 47th Ward - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:34 pm: ===why a refrigerated truck?=== “When they found McCann in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the inauguration.” - JS Mill - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:36 pm: Maybe they are using the truck as a mobile morgue? - Henry Francis - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:37 pm: Shouldn’t it be a moving truck? - JS Mill - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:37 pm: People were pretty hard on the Pritzker costume ad, but the truth is Rauner really takes care of making himself look goofy without any help. - City Zen - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:40 pm: ==I see this progressing to full Beastie Boys== No sleep ’til Springfield - A Jack - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:40 pm: Maybe people started asking which of Rauner’s seven homes they were fighting for. - Ok - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:40 pm: Hey, rocky, got an extra truck? - Ok - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:41 pm: I always thought Our Home, Our Fight was a cringe-worthy xenophobic slogan - A Jack - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:41 pm: Home is worth fighting for unless you need to clout your kid in a different school district. - Christopher - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:44 pm: Yeah, him hanging on the cab of that truck doesn’t look very “Governor-ish.” But at least the spellings of all the words seems to be correct. - Honeybear - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:45 pm: I don’t know about you all but This pic is adorable. All the college republicans in their blue shirts Bruce all decked out in country fare A big ole truck They all look so happy Being Republican looks fun Totally different than the 400 AFSCME’s I was with Saturday at the Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality Sisters and Brothers Were angry, enraged, and looking to Do all they can to Take Rauner down in November. And the were crabby the whole time In workshops, in planning meetings They looked and acted like they wanted to fight. This group doesn’t look like fighters This group is gonna get Ice cream from uncle Bruce’s truck Privilege sure does have its perks It makes me want to live the Easy life like they do Noodle salad, etc It sure beats my life of wondering if Rauner will obey the three court verdicts of wage theft. I bet those college republicans have never had 12,581 dollars illegally withheld from them. Oh to have their happiness - Arsenal - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:46 pm: Looks like he asked some consultants to come up with an answer to JB’s “Think Big Bus”. - Anonymous - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:47 pm: “Sabotage” would be an apt music choice for depicting this administration as well as the campaign. - SAP - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:52 pm: Clearly, Home is what’s right. - Galesburger - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:54 pm: The Raymond Poe semi gets re-branded again. - Huh? - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 12:59 pm: 1.4% needs a reefer truck to haul around the decaying carcass of his administration. He has a new costume, as a trucker. - Annonin' - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:18 pm: Guessin’ GovJunk will be out tryin’ to ram the JB bus and claim a win during the ExitInterviewTour. How did his check in on the Quincy Vet Death coverup go? BTW when did he gets his CDL….documents please. - OneMan - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:18 pm: Perhaps the reefer is a signal of a policy change. - RNUG - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:21 pm: Either the truck is to keep the scandals on ice until after the election … Or Somebody told Rauner they needed some reefers for the younger crowd and something got lost in the translation. - Jocko - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:22 pm: It looks like Bruce is keeping those new jobs and foreign employers “on ice” until he’s re-elected. Or it could be a way to freshen up his stale talking points. - LakeviewJ - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:37 pm: “It’s really n-ice to be governor. I’m “sicle” and tired of Madigan. That guy really frosts my chaps. ‘Sno two ways about, he’s gotta go.” - Christopher - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:39 pm: The tweet reads, “Follow along on social media to see where we’re headed this week.” Looks like down the drain /snark - Leigh John-Ella - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:49 pm: Kick it! You wake up late in your mansion and you don’t wanna go You ask Diana if you can quit, but she still says, no! You botched three budgets and did no homework Your own re-election theme admits you’re the state’s second biggest jerk It’s the fight … for what’s right … tour Three years with no budget and HGOP said, no way Put Dunkin on the MWRD and it’s all OK Man, livin back in the executive mansion is such a drag Now Diana threw away my secret stash of Stag (bust it!) It’s the fight … For what’s right … Tour You gotta fight Don’t step out of this house if that’s the clothes you’re gonna wear Keep dressing like a hick, voters gonna kick your Carhartted derriere. Tillman busted in and said how ‘bout trying the IPI way? Aw, what could go wrong, that’s the B-T-I-A! It’s the fight … For what’s right … Tour It’s the fight … For what’s right … Tour Tour Tour - VanillaMan - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 1:51 pm: You fought. You lost. Again. And again. And again. We neede a winner. But you got elected instead. Buh-bye, worst governor in America. - @misterjayem - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 2:36 pm: - 47th Ward - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 2:50 pm: Putting the con in convoy. - dray - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 2:51 pm: Add the Illini hat to the list of ridiculous outfits. That hat magically appeared after his disparaging comments about Champaign-Urbana. - Arthur Andersen - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 3:28 pm: The guy they hit up for a free trailer has a wicked sense of humor, obviously. - Shytown - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 3:33 pm: In three months we won’t have the worst gov in America to kick around anymore. Let’s enjoy this time while we still can. - wordslinger - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 4:39 pm: LJE, that’s quite good. - My New Handle - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 5:56 pm: I note all the spelling looks correct, also the contours of the state. Not using DoA staff it seems. - Keyrock - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 8:04 pm: Who is Evelyn Sanguinetti? /s - Oswego Willy - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 8:09 pm: I’m not saying the Governor’s campaign is a disaster, I’m not saying that, so stop that. All I am saying is… …if you have no identity or anything to run on to create an identity, “Superstars” or not, that campaign begins at disaster levels. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 8:22 pm: “Smokey and the Bandit 6 - This Time it’s for Stag” West bound and down, loaded up and truckin’, We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done. We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I’m West bound, just watch ol’ “Rauner” run. Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes. Let it all hang out ’cause we got a run to make. The boys are thirsty at the Mansion and there’s beer cold in Winnetka. And we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes. West bound and down, loaded up and truckin’, We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done. We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I’m west bound, just watch ol’ “Rauner” run. West bound and down, loaded up and truckin’, We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done. We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I’m west bound, just watch ol’ “Rauner” run. Ol’ JB gots them ears on and he’s hot on your feed. He aint gonna rest ’til you concede. So you got to dodge ‘im and you got to duck ‘im, You got to keep that diesel truckin’. Just put that hammer down and give it hell. West bound and down, loaded up and truckin’, We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done. We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I’m west bound, just watch ol’ “Rauner” run. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Aug 20, 18 @ 8:41 pm: Couple house cleaning points… - 47th Ward -… that’s restaurant quality. Could almost “hear the music” playing with that narration… - Leigh John-Ella -, when you can go Beastie Boys and make it political, you got game. - Siriusly - Tuesday, Aug 21, 18 @ 7:29 am: Nothing says lack of enthusiasm like a crowd photo only including paid staffers. Surely more phony ballot initiatives will help make up for the fact that nobody cares about this guy one bit. Great idea. 47 McCann is no Carbone. Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
