Back to the 1968 convention, but this time the rioters will be the criminals.
The Dems having their convention in Failed City Of Chicago will be a shock for them — like when a bad dog gets its nose robbed in the poop it made on the Oriental Rug
P.S. NEVER EVER DO THAT TO YOUR DOG — IT’S CRUEL AND STUPID
Big mistake for the dems to pick Chicago for their convention. Every major metric shows Chicago-IL is, and has been, out of control. Communications experts will make that clear next summer.

Well over a year between now and the Dem’s August ’24 party rally.
I’m just certain that deadbeat Brandon and the CTU will have Chicago firing on all 8 cylinders by that time.
There’ll be lots for them to brag about, no doubt, and I’ll enjoy listening to it.
