have that, & yet they report on it as if they're surprised it happened? Yeah, I'm ranting, but I have been telling ppl this for over 20yrs. The MSM played a huge part in conditioning ppl to be dumb enough to vote for djt, or not vote against him. Now we're screwed.

Chicagoan here. For what it's worth, WGN was owned by Tribune Broadcasting for many yrs. During Obama TB heavily skewed the news with an anti-Obama message that was as bad as Fox News.

Absolutely disgusting ppl. Especially Daniel & Kaushal. Sometimes I watch Dateline, and I love it don't get me wrong, but some of the people that commit these crimes just make my teeth grind. They make me question humanity. That judge, too?? He should be removed, disbarred, punished somehow.

My circumcised 14yo son had level 2 autism. We had an experimental procedure done where a small snip of skin from his inner thigh was grafted to the tip of his penis as a replacement foreskin. In a yr he was functioning as a normal teenager. Altho, he can no longer instantly count dropped toothpicks

True. As well as many wypo reverting back to their "we NEED a yt man running the country!" in '16 a LOT of hardcore racists who didn't vote bc none of the R rep's or candidates were racist enough for them, got back in the game & voted djt bc they finally had a person who was openly blaming

djt came down the golden escalator & stoked every racist bigoted wet dream they ever had & they stupidly couldn't resist. They fell for it again & went back to voting against minorities.. and unknowingly voting against their own better interests.

A LOT of yt R ppl voted for Obama out of pure desperation. They had voted gwb twice & either lost or nearly lost everything they had when the great recession hit. They knew how badly they got burned & broke tribalism & voted Obama bc it was the only way out. Once Obama & Biden had fixed everything

Sox Pk. is great to get to, the parking, everything is ridiculously convenient. Wrigley is the exact opposite. Traveling to & out of Wrigley by car is excruciatingly brutal. No parking, etc. They are 2 completely different animals, too. Sox is very sanitized, modern, great place though. Wrigley is

This happens when schools stop teaching civics. I see posts all the time that are either uninformed wishful thinking or demanding something be done by Dem's that can ONLY be done by the magat majority. They have no f•ckin clue how shit works, but they still screech. Elections have consequences.

was that's why attendance was low. Then they tore the the projects down & built a new beautiful park. And, attendance still sucks. I've been to Sox Pk. several times.. it's f'n gorgeous. State of the art. The food & selection of food is jawdropping. It's a shame attendance is so low.
