Trolling Trump, Pritzker jokingly renames Lake Michigan, annexes Green Bay – CBS2 (Chicago)

"The world's finest geographers, experts who study the Earth's natural environment, have concluded a decades-long council, and determined that a Great Lake deserves to be named after a great state," Gov. JB Pritzker said in a minute-long video posted to his campaign social media accounts. "So today, I'm issuing a proclamation declaring that hereinafter, Lake Michigan shall be known as Lake Illinois." The governor ended his straight-faced video by saying he's planning "an important announcement next week regarding the Mississippi River."

One decision accrues to the benefit of the entire country, while the other is petty and self serving. What a complete idiot we have for a governor.

The gov will soon rename Illinois as Pritzkerville. Not much difference between him and what was in Pottersville. How did we get here so quick?

Since it’s now socially acceptable to OK to say ‘retarded’ again without it being called an ableist slur…this is truly retarded.

Just when I thought governor fat ass couldn’t be more pathetic, he goes and out does his idiocy once again.

That’s odd, I can’t recall the governor trolling Lori Lightfoot and Chicago when they renamed Lake Shore Drive. That was different, right?

Time for at least a dozen boosters for them. Insanity on steroids. Someone call Fauci. Hurry!!!

Halperin is pretty good as far as journalists go. Most journalists belong in re-education camps in the middle of Idaho never to re-enter society. Halperin though seems fair and balanced, calls balls and strikes, which is much appreciated.
