  1. People are very annoyed with the Pardon and Ambassadorship for our disgraced former governor.
    I think they will lose their minds with a Madigan pardon….

  2. To pardon someone that is so criminally insane, so unintelligent, and so incompetent… is exactly what I would expect from this president. A totally farcical administration.

  3. A developer just drastically scaled back plans for new housing at the Belmont red line station in Chicago. The original proposal was 200 apartments, now it’s just 44. Not a coincidence this comes a day after plans are announced by Trump for 25% steel tariffs.

  4. I’m looking forward to hearing Illinois Republicans’ responses to the Blago pardon.

    Is he still emblematic of “Democrat corruption” as they said or a victimized hero as Trump says?

    (I’m not going to hold my breath — they still haven’t even tried to square the circle to explain why Trump pardoned the antifa false-flag deep state rioters of January 6.)

  5. So many people out-of-sorts over politics.
    My FB feed reads like a bi-polar, turrets-having neighbor.

    Take it easy, people.

  6. The current president and our former governor were made for each other. Two peas in a pod.

  7. ==Take it easy, people.==

    Nope. I won’t take it easy. A while back my neighbor started flying a Trump flag. I no longer speak to them.

  8. Blago really is a pioneer among corrupt Democrats turning to Trump for a pardon

  9. Well said, Friendly Bob

  10. Ducky LaMoore - While the current administration certainly seems like the circus is in town and the clowns have arrived in force, and I certainly agree with your opinion of the pardon, the administration is beyond farcical. The possibility of the US going to war over some real estate developer’s desire to build a Gaza Riviera, turn Canada into the 51st state, take over the Panama Canal and Greenland; the total ignorance of or totally ignoring of separation of powers, and Congress going along with it; President Musk’s access to people’s Medicare and Social Security and who knows whatever other information; the just general disdain for the lives of their fellow human beings are all breathtakingly sad and depressing. I wish I could laugh, but I fear for our democracy.

  11. Look up IL on Google maps. Zoom out, and you’ll see the Gulf of America. I had to check for myself to believe it.
