  30. == Anyone want to summarize what he said==

    1) he does not understand labor law
    2) he’s going to Disneyworld
    3) he’s hoping more folks will pay him more money to lose in court (and, presumably, help pay for the trip to Florida)

    Unsaid: anything about running for judge or AG

    Comment by Pot calling kettle Friday, Mar 11, 22 @ 9:47 am

  31. Am I missing something? As of the time I’m commenting there is nothing on the ISBE website about him filing for AG and he’s going on vacation? That’s really got to inspire people he wants to go out in the cold and get signatures for him when he’s heading off to Orlando - presumably the one in Florida, unless he thinks the place with all those malls in the southern suburbs is Orlando Park. Maybe he said something about that as he rambled on, but my device froze a couple of times and I took that as a sign that the device didn’t want me asking for those precious 8 minutes of my life back when I was on my deathbed.

    Comment by West Side the Best Side Friday, Mar 11, 22 @ 9:50 am

  36. Now that the public colleges are about to go mask optional, lets see if I can get some more people to give me money, I know, I’ll launch another last minute, guaranteed to be moot case, against the state universities. I love making easy money without actually having to win cases or do anything.

    Comment by H-W Friday, Mar 11, 22 @ 9:55 am

  37. Joe B - He is working on the petitions. He’s heading to Orlando Park. You know, that place in the southern suburbs with all the malls. Should get a lot of signatures there.

    Comment by West Side the Best Side Friday, Mar 11, 22 @ 9:57 am

  38. To the tune of Holding Out for a Hero, by Bonnie Tyler:

    Where have all the hood men gone
    And where are all the wads?
    Where’s the keyboard Hercules
    To fight the rising odds?

    Isn’t there a white knight upon a leather seat
    Late at night I click and clack
    And I post of what I need

    I need a grifter
    I’m holding out for a grifter to the end of the night
    He’s gotta be dumb and he’s gotta be weird
    And he’s gotta be scared of the light

    I need a grifter
    I’m holding out for a grifter til the morning light
    He’s gotta be sued and it’s gotta be soon
    And he’s gotta file for something
    File for something…

  44. I’m Tom DeVore and I’m running in the election. First I’m going to Orlando and Disney for a week. I’ll have my laptop. So in case we meet any influencers I can send pictures to all you “SUCKERS” that are paying for this vacation. The TRO was VACATED and you all are still sending me money. I could tell you the moon was made of cheese so get a box of ritz crackers we are going when I get back. I’m sure 95% of you’d be at my office. We’ll maybe I’ll file a due process lawsuit against Mickey Mouse.

    Because he would have to wear a mask, unless one of his “funders” gave him a ride on a private plane.

    Comment by NorthsideNoMore Friday, Mar 11, 22 @ 12:05 pm

  64. @Anon221 - Excellent point. The guy who threatens to sue the state, and who wants to be the State’s AG, and who wants to be an Appellate Court Judge, doesn’t have the courage to take on the airline industry and the Federal Government should it require him to wear a mask against his will. Cowardice, I say.
