    Illinois: The Fun, New Mexico

    (Errant comma intentional)


  2. - pool boy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:26 pm:

    Rep. Bailey says “Illinois, put the ILL in Illness.”


  3. - Publius - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:27 pm:

    “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. ” Maybe we can convince Mr DeVore to apply to practice law in New Mexico.


  4. - Leigh John-Ella - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:27 pm:

    Illinois: you don’t have to be stupid to visit, but sometimes it
    helps


  5. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:29 pm:

    Covidiots on Parade


  6. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:31 pm:

    The “I’m funnier the more beer I drink” guy.


  7. - Dance Band on the Titanic - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:32 pm:

    Thought bubble above girl in lower right corner:

    “Dad’s chugging beer and driving the boat again. Where are those life jackets mom told us to wear when this happens?”


  8. - Robert Montgomery - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:33 pm:

    Don’t Tread on My Flat Earth


  9. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:33 pm:

    “Take it again so I can flex my arm tattoo”


  10. - dan l - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:33 pm:

    Have you ever noticed that they seem to not like sleeves too?


  11. - Streator Curmudgeon - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:35 pm:

    “Masks? We don’t need no stinkin’ masks.”


  12. - Anyone Remember - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:36 pm:

    Maybe DeVore can move to New Mexico and become the Saul Goodman of their COVID-19 legal realm? /s


  13. - Club J - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:36 pm:

    Illinois the State where everyone comes to get back at their Governor.

    Just ask my brother Tom DeVore (he changed his name) and my Uncle Darren Bailey.


  14. - Sayitaintso - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:36 pm:

    No Motto, but……1) we can’t see the second ‘s’ on his cap. 2) I’m surprised he forgot to raise his pinky finger, which is his trademark on the “Boozy Toosdey” boatdock. 3) the young ladies are wondering where this guy came from, hopping on the boat and repeatedly saying “Howdy, I’m da IRONMAN”…….


  15. - Drake Mallard - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:36 pm:

    No brains, no mask, no problems.


  16. - GregN - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:38 pm:

    No wonder he came here. His home county may have to start enforcing stay at home, distance, and mask orders.
    Per his own paper late July:
    The AG is taking the Lea County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Corey Helton to court to force the department to enforce the governor’s health orders concerning COVID-19. The filing points out sheriff deputies posted pictures of themselves eating indoor at local restaurants, in direct violation of the health orders on July 13.I


  17. - thechampaignlife - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:40 pm:

    #IveGotYouCovered

    or, less Illinois specific:

    Make America.
    Great, again?


  18. - TheInvisibleMan - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:42 pm:

    No matter where you go, there you are.


  19. - Robert Montgomery - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:42 pm:

    Side note: Grstapo? Sports editor? Of a newspaper?


  20. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:43 pm:

    Beer, yes, masks, no.


  21. - Leigh John-Ella - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:43 pm:

    It makes contact tracing so much easier when they post their whereabouts on social media.


  22. - A Guy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:45 pm:

    Beats sucking on Cacti anyday.


  23. - Name Withheld - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:51 pm:

    Illinois: A million miles from grstapo


  24. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:53 pm:

    After this picture, I’m taking off the shirt…


  25. - GregN - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:54 pm:

    Pretty sure Naperville has a “sister city” named Grstapo.
    Or something like that per their Welcome signs.


  26. - Res Melius - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:56 pm:

    Illinois: When you do turn left at Albuquerque.


  27. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 2:59 pm:

    Bet you a beer I can spell Albuquerque…


  28. - Leigh John-Ella - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:07 pm:

    Illinois: Sometimes we’re glad you moved away


  29. - Rich Hill - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:08 pm:

    I got time to roll a number and rent a boat.


  30. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:09 pm:

    I can belch your name… wait, lemme take a drink…


  31. - Commonsense in Illinois - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:14 pm:

    Illinois: Jus essorcizen m’freedoms


  32. - JoanP - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:24 pm:

    =After this picture, I’m taking off the shirt… =

    Ewwww . . .


  33. - twowaystreet - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:40 pm:

    Motto: We already have enough stupid here, go home.

    A couple of follow up questions:

    (A) How long ago was that ironman? /s

    (B) Who is Paul and why is his name on your arm? (google wasn’t helpful)


  34. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 3:41 pm:

    He should be drinking Corona.


  35. - Dotnonymous - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 4:16 pm:

    Did you hear me, girls?…this is how your Paw makes ‘em take him seriously…Girls?…Girls?


  36. - 17% Solution - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 4:24 pm:

    Land of infant-men.


  37. - Bruce( no not him) - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 4:24 pm:

    When I first saw the tweet I thought it said Jason Plummer.


  38. - Leigh John-Ella - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 4:25 pm:

    If you wander down the dark rabbit hole that is Mr. Farmer’s twitter page, you will find him bragging about recent extensive travels and not wearing a mask or quarantining, calling the governor of New Mexico a “witch” and calling for her removal “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY” … “even if that means violent force”.

    You will also find him touting his editor position at the newspaper that employs him, his membership in the College Football Writers Association, and his status as a voter for the collegiate Biletnikoff award.

    If you’re going to be a troll, don’t drag your employer and professional associations into it.


  39. - PublicServant - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 4:44 pm:

    Illinois: Where New Mexico comes to fish and cut bait.


  40. - Frank talks - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 5:08 pm:

    Illinois- where the beer is cold and when we wear tank tops it smells like “Merica.


  41. - DownstateR - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 6:20 pm:

    Gawd, I’m stoooooooooooooooooopid and proud of it too.(wear a GD mask.)


  42. - dbk - Tuesday, Aug 18, 20 @ 9:10 pm:
