"'It’s simply a question of whether you like your MAGA Trump agenda wrapped in the original packaging or with high heels or with lifts in their boots,' Pritzker added.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Hey FAT MAN – give me MAGA any day of the week.
The irony about the boot lifts is that JB is likely much shorter than DeSantis. Look at the picture below. Rauner is 6’4″. JB Pritzker looks about a foot shorter than Rauner.

Trump fuels Democrat hate like no one else. They become irrational and unhinged as the mention of his name. They can’t point to results when looking at his first term, where economic performance was significantly better than the eight years under Obama. No rights were trampled under Trump.
