“Our supermajority is under siege”

Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 12:15 pm
If the Democratic fundraiser letter doesn’t have the union bug at the bottom, it’s from Edmund Muskie.

Comment by Don Harmon's Folly Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 12:15 pm
Madigan is clearly embracing the Governor allowing Illinoians to resume fishing.

Comment by Montrose Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 12:16 pm
Blame Madigan.

“Until we meet again, I wish good health to you and your loved ones.”

Considering the source, that doesn’t not read as a threat.

===We see that playing out in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota where right wing funders are organizing frightening demonstrations against Democratic governors.===

Looking at you Liz and Dick Uihlein.

===Uihlein has a history of downplaying the severity of COVID-19. In a March 13 e-mail to Illinois politicians, the Uline CEO asserted, “The media is overblowing COVID-19. At what point do we go back to our normal lives? This has been a huge disruption.”===

I know what you gave last year.

Fredo is soooo happy the May meeting at the lake is off - for now.

Will Com Ed give more or less than last year?

“Oh… the golf outing is still on… “

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 12:32 pm
How about we all paddle over to the Capt. Fax Fortress for a fun filled evening? Remember 2 per boat, social distance, face coverings blah blah AND BYOB

Evening on the lake is cancelled because the boat has yet to be put in the water.

Leader in the clubhouse.

Caption?

“Keep the boat afloat”

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 1:02 pm
“I ask you to match your donations from 2018 and 2019.”

By that I mean add those two numbers together and match it.

Comment by Nagidam Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 1:02 pm
Caption - Madigan disappoints boaters.

A new fundraiser could be entitled “An Evening on the Golf Course”, and be much more doable with proper social-distancing dontcha know.

In this era of social distancing please process bribes using Venmo and Zelle.

I am also “monitoring.”

Comment by Ron Burgundy Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 1:17 pm
Golf outing is a great idea. Maybe Senator Sandavol would let them use his old site. I don’t think they he Senator needs it this year

Comment by DuPage Saint Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 1:23 pm
The guy has been absent for the entire crisis. The GA has not acted at all. He has been absent from all public press briefings with the Governor. I don’t think he’s done any skype or zoom interviews or open meetings.

Yet he has the gall to send out this letter just as the word is being spread by his people that a BIMP is being put together. Disgusting

The ridiculous scare tactic choice of language in his letter is insulting. Why can we expect the “same dynamic to play out in Illinois this November?” Illinois has a billionaire Democrat Governor with a 70% approval rating.

Madigan is shameless.

Comment by Altgelds Ghost Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 1:52 pm
Republican extremists and right wing funders have been organizing frightening demonstrations against Democratic Governors? When did Speaker of the House and Illinois Democratic Party Chairman Madigan turn into such a snowflake? /snark

Comment by Louis G Atsaves Thursday, Apr 30, 20 @ 2:14 pm
I like MM but this is in bad taste and extremely bad timing. The guy just showed no concern for the everyday citizens of this state. He’s been a recluse throughout all this coronavirus issue but has the gall to send out a fundraising letter.
Unacceptable truly unacceptable as Brandon Marshall said

Reminds me of Donnie Brasco…the boat and those watching.
