Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
WGN couldn’t get it out there fast enough to tell people what “is for their own good”.
WGN is a talking head for the Dems. Jabba and his cronies are full of it and he has no medical standing and neither do the “doctors” he has up there with him.
His family is not included because they have super antibodies that will make sure that they can go out and be with friends and celebrate.
But he does not realize that there is life beyond coronavirus.
F u lighfoot. Communist witch. I thought you were the “rona destroyer”? Where is your costume you incompetent corrupt fool
Didn’t they call it a “stay at home order” last time? Now it is an “advisory” this time? Guess they think they need to change their messaging, so nobody notices that their rules are ineffective and illegal.
These stay at home orders are unconstitutional.
Lard A** has no idea what in the hell he is doing.
He has the “doctors: who are just actresses.They do absolutely nothing.
He goes about his life and his family is able to do what they want but no one else.
Then he wonders why the Fair tax was voted down–He must have rocks for brains.
Illinois government is out of control, Their tyranny needs to come to a halt, The courts won’t hear the pending litigation. What a joke.
Live your life and tell these supposed leader to F*CK OFF
If you want freedom and a better life then move to Indiana.
