More hateful rhetoric from the fine commenters of WP.
Hateful, lol!
Thanks “Man-Karen” — what would we do without you?
My wife’s Central Illinois trade union carpenter-n-plumber-n-ironworker side of the family are LOL busted-up about this one.
What the apprentices want is to be able to afford to buy a reliable work truck and earn enough to buy gas for it so they can haul their equipment to job sites.
Just like a Dem to talk about something expensive for taxpayers that they like, but which doesn’t accomplish what people want.
What a tandem Illinois is burdened with in Dimwit Duckworth and Do Nothing Durbin. Tammy has a hard time stringing two words together, but when she does, she says incredibly stupid things. It’s not enough that Illinois has all this free money to dole out as a result of Biden’s disastrous socialist policies, now she wants to give everyone a ride so they can get the cash. Please stop talking Tammy. There is no reason to prove to us how stupid you are.
