Did anyone notice JB’s cart is full of artificially highly processed food that makes people fat?
Doesn’t appear to be a single fresh vegetable in the cart.
Perhaps the governor lives in a food desert.
No toilet seats as well
Also makes no mention of the municipalities who either initiated a 1% grocery tax or increased theirs by 1% to make up for the lack of his.
The out of touch trust fund baby has no inkling of the working man’s struggles and doesn’t really care. He will lie, cajole, name call and pass bills in the dead of night to further his progressive/ socialist agenda, borne by the taxpayers.
The Happy Warrior is 100% Grade A schmuck. Doubles the gasoline tax on the backs of hardworking middle income Illinoisans to keep the construction crews working full time. Usually that involves one guy working while 3 stand around watching him. He set up a task force to address property taxes. They must still be at lunch since nothing has happened in the 5 years since he set that one up. Pritzker is a pathetic loser, but he owns the so called journalists in Illinois so you won’t see anyone call him out except Wirepoints.
What store did these two obese clowns hornswoggle into using for this photo – op…???
