* 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…

1. 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.

   Comment by Demoralized Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:07 am

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

3. Such a diverse group, that cult of personality.

   Caption?

6. Dumb and Dumber

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

   Comment by ChuckIL Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:14 am

8. Yeah, they are real patriots.

   Cowards exhibiting criminal behavior is a more apt description.

   Comment by don the legend Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:21 am

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

   Comment by Jocko Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:21 am

10. 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.

    Comment by Moe Berg Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:23 am

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

    Comment by Excitable Boy Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:25 am

12. 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).”

    Comment by Jocko Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:25 am

13. 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.

    Comment by Rutro Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:26 am

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

    Comment by From DaZoo Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:27 am

16. 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.)

    Comment by West Side the Best Side Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:27 am

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

    Comment by Chicago Cynic Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:34 am

23. 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

25. “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.”

    Comment by Independent Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:35 am

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

    Comment by Reeelpro Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:43 am

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

    “Is that a real question?”

    Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:45 am

32. 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.

    Comment by Downstate Dem Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:45 am

33. We the People are tired of COVID.

    Stop supporting its spread Rep Bailey.

    Comment by walker Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 10:45 am

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

    Comment by Phil Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:11 am

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

    Comment by Keyrock Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:19 am

41. 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.

    Comment by ModerateGOP Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:22 am

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

    Comment by Eastern Bloc Mitigation Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:23 am

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

    Comment by Rudy’s teeth Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:52 am

44. 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’.

    Comment by thoughts matter Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 11:52 am

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

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

    Comment by Sensitive Nancy Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 1:56 pm

    Comment by JS Mill Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 2:37 pm

55. 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.

    Comment by JS Mill Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 2:43 pm

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

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

    Comment by Medvale School for the Gifted Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 4:39 pm

58. 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.

    Comment by Holding Back Tuesday, Dec 15, 20 @ 5:11 pm

59. 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…
