Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Next she’ll blame Trump for last Monday’s snow. Oh, and the cold blast coming up this weekend will definitely be Trump’s fault. Trump is everywhere!
I am glad they moved on to Trump. So tired about hearing how evil Herbert Hoover was
What Fascists evil people. The Demoncrats are really good at Demonizing innocent people.
FIRE ALL OF CPS TEACHERS.
My dog had puppies. Damn you Trump!
The excuse–the dog ate her homework
Who didn’t see this coming? Democrats will keep blaming Trump for a long time. All opposing ideas and affiliations will be labeled as “terrorist.” Lightfoot is the weakest mayor Chicago has ever seen. Her only idea in life has been to blame other people.
Wow. Truly amazing. She is taking a page from the Democrats play book…start a narrative that distracts from the real problem. In her pea brain, blaming Trump might distract those who voted democratic. She really doesn’t know what to do and that statement of blaming Trump show it.
I look forward to when our real President steps forward and deals with all of this. All legally and within the Constitution. I wish my American colleagues would undertake more critical thinking, not take everything they see and hear at face value, and please DO their own research. For example, did we know that our Public Retirement Systems for teachers etc invested in Gamestop with Hedge Funds, essentially playing the Casino with hard earned peoples money? If it all crashes, who gets the bailout? (aka 2008 and it was not the pensions). What happened to Beijing Biden’s Stimulus Bill that… Read more »
Strong critical thinkers that continue to think Trump will be sworn in as president even though the electoral college voted for Biden and he has already taken office? Living in a delusional state does not make one a critical thinker.
We all know that Biden ‘won’ but it’s fun to irk the other side, and vent, that Biden is an illegitimate president. The other side never really takes satisfaction from winning until you admit defeat. and we will never admit defeat.

Are you talking about Quid Pro Joe?
President Trump’s new legal team is headed by David Schoen and Bruce L, Castor J. Schoen was already on the team, and wait until you see his specialty. He spent 30 years as a PROSECUTOR. In Pennsylvania. Castor been practicing civil litigation for 10 years, specializing in representing victims of crimes. And he’s an expert in trial strategy and tactics, as well as “conducting discreet internal investigations for corporate clients.” See any emerging picture? These two guys were the REAL lawyers all along. Ever heard THIS? “Truth is an absolute defense.” In law, an absolute defense is a fact… Read more »
The only administrations that messed things up are the Lightfoot and Pritzger administrations. LL talks and acts tough but her knees tremble under that ill fitting suit whenever she deals with the CTU. In the end she will give them anything they want. What will she give the children of Chicago as a result? I’ll take “Third Rate Education” for $200, Alex.
What 45 was able to accomplish through project warpspeed was modern miracle. Nobody thought it was possible. She should be praising 45. Second, this whole COVID-19 exercise has been a study of federalism and when history is looked back upon you will see the governors who took control over what they could control (ie prepping for vaccine roll out and logistics) and those who did not and only blame the federal government. In totality, when you look at unemployment rates, coupled with deaths per capita and vaccine throughput it is so clear that Illinois was one of the worse states… Read more »
The dog ate my homework. Pathetic leader.
She really has turned into a a laughingstock. Actually I think in addition to Trump it was Y2K and Global Warming, and probably the KKK and the vast right wing conspiracy and the Proud Boys too.
She didn’t say that the lack of virus is due to racism which is the typical dummycrat, ignorant mantra. She needs to go.
Lightfoot wouldn’t have gotten on CNN w/o promising the producer to bash the former president. Of course, w/o Trump there would be no vaccine to argue over. What is amazing is how many Democrats believe Lightfoot – that’s why she and Pritzker keep lying and not taking responsibility.
Truly pathetic response. No one believes her.
You would be surprised how many fools do believe her. Remember, Orange man bad!
She probably thinks that Trump also ate some of the forbidden fruit.
She forgot to include Rauner. Surely he’s to blame, too.
Spot on. Typical IL Democrat response.
Probably the new mutations of Covid are Trump’s fault, too.
Lori should be an expert on mutations. She is one.
Oops, she almost forgot that everything is Trump’s fault. But luckily now she is back on message. She hopes nobody noticed her mistake
