I could listen to that speech all day long! So happy to see that our Governors are fighting back. Hoping Congress does when they return from break!

To me, Pritzker is an example of what every billionaire should be.

KHKate's avatar

Yes, yes and yes.

I couldn't believe it!! A dude talking like that, who's RICH?! Omg! I looked it up (no diss to Anne; I was just completely gobsmacked) and yes, according to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/profile/jb-pritzker/), he's the richest politician out there right now...and if he's richer than the Mango Mussolini, no /wonder/ the Trumpster Fire hates him! >;-)

What's even better is that as of this morning, Donnie Dumb-ass has lived up to his TACO name again. He has now said that he won't deploy the Guard in Chicago until the Governor asks him to. Someone must've informed the TACO chief that ONLY the governor can call up the Guard in the states. DC is a different matter, but Chicago and Illinois are not DC. Fuck Trump.

Hey, that's great news. Civics for TACO!

Didn't stop him with California, the fucktard. Hence why Gov. Newsom is hot to do that redistricting special election, among other reasons (and why my family is getting snail mail flyers from "both sides" about how we shouldn't be doing that, special elections are expensive, etc., etc., etc.; "both sides" seems to be run by just one, and 3 guesses as to which one [and 2 don't count]...). ;)

Stephen Miller and his complicit lackey The President. Let's not fool ourselves about who is actually in charge here - all those Project 2025 creators and implementers.

Yes - Miller the shadow king

Right! Just what I was thinking!

Thank you GOV Pritzker for calling out the fascism 💟

Ironically, I'm flying to Chicago today to spend a week with my oldest child who is about to start their senior year at college. I suspect the national guard troops will be posted around the very safe and upscale north loop area where many of the media are located. Such a photo op. And I love Gov. Pritzker! He makes me feel safe for my child there!

Nancy's avatar

Apparently, TACO backed down again on it, but we'll see... X-P

I'm surprised Wall Street is still standing with Himself see-sawing on everything more than a metronome set to punk rock pogo dancing tempo... :-/

We need more Governors like Pritzger. He has the spine to stand up to Benedict Donald. Every time he does something more heinous than the last, I think that it will be the thing that sends people over the edge to stand up against him. Of course, I thought it was the end when he mocked the disabled reporter!

Sandy's avatar

So did I. It should have ended THERE!

Remember this, we have to take t-Rump and his croinies down peasefully without giving him a chance to call in the military everywhere.

Remember Kent State.

t-Rumpy is just looking for an excuse to start taking over and then there will be no voting.

JP Connolly's avatar

Amen indeed. Pritzker is on the correct path for sure. I hope other state governors will catch up and follow on.

Catherine Bridge's avatar

This is terrifying. Government. Pritzer is 100% correct. Trump wants to take over these cities where the blue resides to quash any protests when he tries to say the 2028 election is rigged and he's not leaving the White House.

Thank God that some dem leaders have real balls!! Now the rest of the dem leaders need to fall in line with the outspoken brave ones. These are the people that can stop this insanity. Next they all beed to fix their voting districts in the dem state to cancel out the gerrymandering in repubs states. Fight fire with fire.

Jayne Spence's avatar

I agree but Dem balls may just appear bigger next to Trumps little ones. He is so much bluster with no substance.

Isn't it "Stephen Miller and his lackey, The President"?

Nosferatu and his Lackey DonOld

Don't vampires always have lackeys?

Renfield and Dracula... ;)

I love my governor!!! Keep up the good fight and we will win in the end.

Thank you God for being you! Love you!! 😘

Nancy's avatar

I love mine here in California! :D So glad he got off the Charlie Kirk Friends and Family bit and remembers he's a Democrat! :)

why's avatar

United front in Chicago! That's our GOV. God, you've blessed him with the courage and guts of a working-man turned billionaire. Many thanks for that.

Cat's avatar

So good to see people in power fighting back.

Speaking of the anti christ, did God see the 4 part lecture on the anti Christ that Peter Theil is giving in a few weeks? Irony is truly dead.

Robot Bender's avatar

Is it going to be the complete biography of DJT? 😆 🤣

Sandy's avatar

How does President Pritzker sound?

Nancy's avatar

I wouldn't mind! :)
