Today’s number: 19
Thursday, Jan 26, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller * Rep. Cassidy was an outspoken member of “The 19″ - the House Democrats who banded together to prevent Speaker Michael Madigan’s reelection. The Senate’s license plate numbers are their district numbers. The House plates are numbered based on seniority. So, this is a fitting coincidence…

Truly poetic. Love it.

Sweet synchronicity. Fantastic.

Kudos to the ‘19′ and to the republicans who bucked Rauner so the state could have a budget. Both are examples of true legislating.

=== Liberal Elitism on full display===
… and yet nary a conservative or republican will refuse their legislative plates.
=== why the need for a special plate?===
Narrator: they are issued plates to all legislators
Deep breaths, no need to hyperventilate.

===Being one of the 19 “Democrats” to side with Bruce Rauner to take down the most successful Democratic leader in state history should not be a point of pride.===
With the Arroyo Rule in full effect, it wouldn’t had mattered, Madigan woulda had to go
The “19”, so brave and strong.
Heroes.

and yet a few short weeks ago, yall were critical of the “20″ attempting to do the same in DC.

Oh, the 19 weren’t holding up anything so that conspiracy theorists or insurrection apologists could run America, the 19 just wanted Madigan to go.
If you can’t grasp that maybe take a nap and start fresh tomorrow

Critical? I loved every minute of it. They still should be voting and I dont know why they gave in. The 19 never gave up but the 20 did.

Do they have to pay for these vanity plates? And at going rate like for an EV car?

===vanity plates===
lol
They’re official plates, and yes, they pay for them. Have you never seen them before? If not, what are you even doing at this blog?
The outrage machine never ceases to amaze me. I read something online to the effect that the last 10 years has taught us that literally anything can be polarized. Your breathless rant kinda proves it.
