* According to IDPH, Effingham County’s seven-day positivity rate is a whopping 18.5 percent. By comparison, Sangamon County’s is 8.4 percent, Chicago’s is 12.5 percent and suburban Cook’s is 12.8 percent.

And yet, Rep. Darren Bailey held an indoor fundraiser and railed against “tyranny” with his favorite attorney by his side


We the People……..are tired of tyranny!
Merry Christmas!

    I am so sick of these yahoos. The fact that an elected official is so proud of breaking the law and that an attorney is as well is just disgusting.


  2. - Bruce( no not him) - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:07 am:

    We’re tired of tyranny. Also finding that breathing is highly overrated. Join us in stopping both.


  3. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:09 am:

    Such a diverse group, that cult of personality.

    Caption?

    “We the deniers hope to get sick, overthrow an election, and convince you we are doing it *for* you… “

    C’mon man!


  5. - Tired Teacher - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:10 am:

    Probably not enough banned words to describe those two. Sheesh


  6. - DuPage Saint - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:10 am:

    Dumb and Dumber


  7. - ChuckIL - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:14 am:

    The League of bad haircuts, or the Spread COVID for Jesus Coalition.


  8. - don the legend - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:21 am:

    Yeah, they are real patriots.

    Cowards exhibiting criminal behavior is a more apt description.


  9. - Jocko - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:21 am:

    Such brave faces while under the yoke of tyranny. It calls to mind the fundraisers the Resistance held in Vichy France. /S


  10. - Moe Berg - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:23 am:

    The virus doesn’t care if you believe it’s real.

    Bloomberg: “A White House official who fell ill with Covid-19 in September is recovering after three months in the hospital, though he lost his right foot and lower leg in his battle against the virus, according to a friend.”

    As a society, we’ll be paying the costs for Bailey’s and his ilk’s denialism for decades to come.


  11. - Excitable Boy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:25 am:

    Bailey has one of the most punchable faces I’ve ever seen.


  12. - Jocko - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:25 am:

    If there was an open bar, the words of Dean Wormer come to mind. “Fat, drunk, and st*pid is no way to go through life, son(s).”


  13. - Rutro - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:26 am:

    Obviously calling these people stupid isn’t working. Rarely does.
    Showing them %’s of positives to death rates isn’t working.
    Maybe tell them the Democrats want them to have these death parties (and its a conspiracy man) will get them to put a mask on.


  14. - Club J - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:27 am:

    Hello Friends, Welcome to our Super Spreader Christmas Event. I’m your Host Darren (Freedom over Fear) Bailey and this is my partner in losing crime Tom (It’s not about winning) DeVore.
    Please go mingle with everyone no masks required and make sure you get plenty of hugs from all the guests. We need to show the Tyrant in Chicago there ain’t no stinking COVID-19 in Bailey Country. Oh don’t believe that 18% stuff it’s just made up by that Doctor Ekay or whatever her name is.


  15. - From DaZoo - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:27 am:

    On the menu: Cheese and Grift with Peppermint Bark for dessert.


  16. - West Side the Best Side - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:27 am:

    All I want for Christmas is for Cap Fax to ignore these two Yahoos. (Using the Jonathan Swift definition, except for the hair. Maybe if they don’t get oxygen from the press and internet they’ll go away.)


  17. - Anonsense - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:27 am:

    Hey we’re republicans. We took that Abe Lincoln fooling people suggestion to heart.

    Coronavirus honors the recipients of its 2020 “Men of the Year” Award

    dumb and dumber celebrate mouth breathing and knuckle dragging for the holidays.


  20. - Anonsense - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:30 am:

    The whole room tilts to the right.

    “We the People…are tired of caring about our fellow man.”

    See you in the ICU.”


  22. - Chicago Cynic - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:34 am:

    300,000 dead Americans are sick of being dead. And this event is an engraved invitation to the virus.


  23. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:35 am:

    Look in my eyes, what do you see?
    The cult of personality
    I know my anger, I know my dreams
    I’ll be everything you want me to be
    I’m the cult of personality
    Like Brad Halbrook and me Bailey
    I’m the cult of personality
    The cult of personality
    The cult of personality
    Neon lights, I heed your cries
    Then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
    You don’t have to follow me
    Only you can set me free
    I sell the things you need to be
    I’m the smiling face on your T.V.
    I’m the cult of personality
    I exploit you still you love me
    I tell you one and one makes three
    I’m the cult of personality
    Like Danny Proft and Amy
    I’m the cult of personality
    The cult of personality
    The cult of personality
    Neon lights, I heed your cries
    A leader speaks, as others die
    You don’t have to follow me
    Only you can set you free
    You gave me a forum
    You gave me fame
    You gave me power in your own good name
    I’m every person you need to be
    Oh, I’m the cult of personality
    I’m the cult of, I’m the cult of, I’m the cult of, I’m the cult of
    I’m the cult of, I’m the cult of, I’m the cult of, I’m the cult of personality

    ===All I want for Christmas is for Cap Fax to ignore===

    Denied.


  25. - Independent - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:35 am:

    “Yeah, we’ll get more COVID cases out of this, maybe a few deaths here and there, but all is good. We raised some money, shared some laughs, owned some libs.”


  26. - Streator Curmudgeon - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:36 am:

    “Masks are a communist plot. It must be true. We saw it on SCHLOX News.”


  27. - PublicServant - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:37 am:

    Dim and Nit, the Wit brothers.


  28. - Flyin' Elvis'-Utah Chapter - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:39 am:

    Okay, only one of you can be Gomer.

    Figure it out.


  29. - PublicServant - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:40 am:

    Poster boys for laws against inbreeding pose before continuing to stand behind angry horse.


  30. - Reeelpro - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:43 am:

    Covid, covid, covid keep that virus rollin’ COVID, hyaah (sound of whip crack) (To the tune of Rawhide)


  31. - Streator Curmudgeon - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:45 am:

    “Hey Darren. Is it true Republicans can’t face reality?”

    “Is that a real question?”


  32. - Downstate Dem - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:45 am:

    I still do not understand how Darren Bailey and his followers call themselves “Right to Life.” Dying from corona virus is not “Right to Life.” As much as I despise Representative Bailey, I truly hope he does not get this insidious disease.


  33. - walker - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:45 am:

    We the People are tired of COVID.

    Stop supporting its spread Rep Bailey.


  34. - PublicServant - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:46 am:

    Whoever doesn’t want a covid vaccine, smile.


  35. - Cool Papa Bell - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:55 am:

    Welcome to our two way fundraiser - I’ll take your money and you’ll get COVID.


  36. - Dysfunction Junction - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:57 am:

    Okay everybody, look under your chairs. YOU get Confederate Railroad tickets. And YOU get Confederate Railroad tickets (banned punctuation)…


  37. - Billy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:06 am:

    In a bit of campaign irony, exposing his supporters to COVID-19 actually suppressed voter turnout.


  38. - Flyin' Elvis'-Utah Chapter - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:09 am:

    If you two want to kiss, seriously, it’s okay.


  39. - Phil - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:11 am:

    Seems like a good time to quote Alfred E. Neuman: “What, me worry?”


  40. - Keyrock - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:19 am:

    Weren’t those 2 on SNL this week in coronavirus headgear?


  41. - ModerateGOP - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:22 am:

    Has Bailey ever taken a COVID test? He didn’t when the legislature was in session in May. Unfortunately, I think I know the answer. Embarrassing that this will be the face of the ILGOP.


  42. - Eastern Bloc Mitigation - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:23 am:

    We need enforceable mitigations to protect the public from the Eastern Bloc.


  43. - Rudy’s teeth - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:52 am:

    Did the gift baskets include masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers?


  44. - thoughts matter - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:52 am:

    Ok- assistant, here is whom to invite to my ICU New Years’ party. We should get some attendees from the people in these photos.

    There’s nothing you can say to people who think they are Patrick Henry (hopefully I have the right patriot) and that this is the 1770s. They are closely followed by those who think their faith will protect them. Of course they are somewhat confused because their leader gave them the vaccine and they won’t take it because he got it for them ‘faster than ever before’.


  45. - West Side the Best Side - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:53 am:

    If my ignore the Yahoos wish for Christmas is denied does that mean I’m not getting the pony either?


  46. - Dotnonymous - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 12:12 pm:

    Hey Tom…Let’s start a maskless softball team… I’ll pitch if you’ll catch?

    Headlining at CovidFest 2020 are Darren The Unbeliever, and Tom The Unwinnable. Join us for a night of spreading lies, disease, and death. T-Shirts available on the main concourse, featuring the group’s “Failure is our only option” slogan.

  52. - Sensitive Nancy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 1:56 pm:

    The most offensive part of this Facebook post is that awful use of the ellipsis.


  53. - walker - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 2:34 pm:

    “Death Squad”


  54. - JS Mill - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 2:37 pm:

    “Playtex would like to introduce their two newest spokesmodels for our new Covidiot line of Manssieres and Bro’s. Darren “Grim” Bailey and Tommy “Reaper” DeVore or as we refer to them The Manssiere Brothers”


  55. - JS Mill - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 2:43 pm:

    The Mansierre brothers.

    One good thing we know from this event, there are a whole lot of folks down that way who won’t be interested in the vaccine. More for the rest of us.


  56. - 312 - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 4:34 pm:

    Hello Darwin and Karma? You’ve missed a couple.


  57. - Medvale School for the Gifted - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 4:39 pm:

    The other two members of the Earnest T. Bass Trio.


  58. - Holding Back - Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 5:11 pm:

    Sad thing is, the money did not go to charity and went to the Restore IL PAC. Political Fundraisers during Christmas used to be taboo unless it went to charity.


  59. - Lynn S. - Wednesday, Dec 16, 20 @ 1:12 am:

    I grew up near the site of this little shindig.

    I’m afraid to look at the pictures, because I worry that I’ll see too many people I know in them…
