At end of another violent year Mayor Lori Lightfoot calls for more help from feds, assures residents: ‘Keeping you safe is my priority’ – Chicago Tribune*

Just another talk tough, do nothing charade performance by LL.

The coronavirus halloween costumes? Amateur hour but she thinks she’s being fresh, peppy and cute. She has very little perception what she looks like to other people.

She like many of the half wits we’re exposed to daily. Some people cover themselves with tattoos, Lori dresses like Ezra Pound. They’re confused and so desire celebrity!
