Editorial: Mayor Lightfoot and the ‘colossal failure’ of her City Hall – Chicago Tribune*

"But Chicago — the nation — is tired of apologies from politicians when things go wrong and only because they got caught. Tough talk from behind a podium is pretty meaningless when it comes two years too late, driven by CYA (look it up) and not from a standing of good moral judgment."

No wait, pols who try sweep stuff under the rug? Don’t worry, she’ll perform Act 1 of her Kabuki theatre and offer the hordes some freebies to assuage them…

People need to get pissed…

When will we recall these “leaders” are there to serve us?

Totally true, she will continue to give free taxpayer stuff to the permanent victim class on the south and west sides in exchange for votes. I’m sick of seeing the daily free coats and toys to the ghetto types who go from one freebie giveaway to the next. They have money for hair weaves, nails, designer clothes and nice cars, and I’m sure dope and booze, but nothing for their kids.

“Nothing for their kids” is easily demonstrated by the schools now having to provide meals for the students despite the parents getting food stamps, wic etc to feed them. It never ends for the free stuff army.
