Cry harder, Stevie.

No. Really.

Go in front of a camera and weep as you plead your fealty and obedience to your One True God.

I mean... move mountains with the sheer force of his will? Dude can't even move a ketchup bottle without incident.

Go the fuck away, Steven.

And stay there.

This freaking guy.

Flaws, sure. Mistakes, yep.

But he's got this nailed, overall.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

FELLAS.

Come come. Nothing negative here.

Cubs win, Court down in the Loop gave Trump whatfer, and Sister Jean's probably having a blast in the moment (Orientation Week in Heaven has some known ragers).

Shhhh.

A quick thought before we put today to bed.

If we get through this intact, #Chicago gets a #FifthStar waving instead of four.

Today's court order lays it all bare and forces them to *deal with it.*

It cannot be ignored.

It came from here.

We ain't done.

We didn't even stop.

Proud of my town.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
