A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Democrats love criminals, terrorists and pedophiles.
Facts.
Remember that the Imposter in Chief, Dementia Joe’s son, is a criminal, a sex trafficker, a drug dealer and addict and a pedophile but is the smartest guy he knows. The apple doesn’t fell far from the biden tree.
Democrats are a death cult that loves crime and criminals.

What a useless group of individuals.
Only because these losers have not been victims……. YET!!!!!!
They all have security
That needs to change
I will not feel one bit sorry if it hits those whom created these laws and their families!
