The least surprising Tom DeVore news yet

Posted in:

Illinois

* Remember this from yesterday?…

* Greg asked DeVore whether he’d paid the $1,000 bounty of footage of Pritzker celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and family. As you know, I posted a photo of Pritzker and his wife on a Zoom chat during Thanksgiving dinner. DeVore’s response…

Well one, I want to clarify that. The thousand dollars that I offered for footage from a journalist to take a picture of the governor should they see him out celebrating with friends and family. Friends and family being a generic term. I didn’t even know he had kids until I put that out. So he has kids, OK, I don’t care about that. But no, I didn’t pay it out because, again, you know I was looking for the governor. He’s using the word bounty, I didn’t use the word bounty. But no, I didn’t pay it out.

Emphasis added because of this…

There used to be a segment dedicated to the likes of Tom DeVore on Chicago radio, every Thursday at 5.

Rich, would you kindly consider removing vulgarity filters for posts that refer to this gentleman? Or perhaps one of your extra horseshoe awards can be swiftly delivered to his hind quarters.

He must be consuming huge quantities of legal cannabis on an hourly basis to have developed that severe a case of memory loss.

That would also explain his legal strategy.

I’ll leave it here, as now there’s “social media” evidence that DeVore is a fraud to honesty.

Couple quick hits;

=== I didn’t even know he had kids until I put that out.===

… and yet his ilk were the ones pushing about the governor’s daughter, falsely, and further, it’s wholly disingenuous to say he “didn’t know” while the bounty itself indicates the governor would be out with… whom?

Weaseling out of paying the bounty? Classless folks out out a bounty, why would anyone expect a classless person to pay the bounty?===

It’s one thing to be classless, but to also be dishonest to thought… that’s DeVore?

Just when I thought I couldn’t think less of him.

DeVore is living embodiment of the old joke about the lawyer who wanted the stonemason to carve on his headstone: “here lies a lawyer and an honest man” only to be told that it’s illegal to bury two bodies in the same grave.

Trump is always denying that he knows people, even ones photographed in meetings with him, when he cuts them loose, so DeVore’s denial is not surprising.

Going maskless, not social distancing, proclaiming far and wide that COVID-19 is all a hoax… maybe DeVore is suffering from “brain fog” complements of that little virus he’s making money off of. On the other hand, DeVore is rapidly becoming a synonym for a five letter word that starts with “i”.

Oh, now you’re assuming he posts all that himself. Maybe a ghostwriter posts for him. S/

Maybe Devore can be the new lawyer for the LaSalle county GOP.

There is some off the wall bonkers stuff going on over there in the courts with the election results. Not surprisingly it is the lasalle county republican committee at the center of it all.

Is DeVore’s forehead large enough for a new tattoo— Doofus.

Comment by Rudy’s teeth Friday, Dec 4, 20 @ 4:20 pm
I think I’m going to poke at him some later on FB about this, see if he bothers with any sort of response.

DeVore was losing even before he was an Attorney. Case was dismissed.
