@govpritzker.illinois.gov … That doesn’t look like ICE preventing this man from finding his wife. That looks like our Illinois State Police providing security for the illegal detention facility AND doing ICE’s job by instructing him how to look online for info.

Just to be clear: ISP intervened to prevent the access. Not sure if that is Illinois State Police or ICE Supplied by Pritzker.

It takes special training to be able to toss a tear gas canister and flip off a judge in the some arm-movement. It’s more of an art than a science.

Let me guess, was it the same manly man man who shot this lady in the face, then attacked her from behind and put her in a choke hold until his manly man man buddies dragged him away?

He was the little bitch that shot her in the face with pepper balls and then proceeded to attack her from behind and put her in a choke hold as she flashed a peace sign.

A rushed bulletin board I put up last school year. Looks as if we are back to these stupid games so I’ll need to redo it with the Constitution.

I’ll second that WTF?! but for a different reason: A CHS sighting!?
Lived in MS for 2 years and the only time Cindy Hyde-and-Go-Seek-Smith popped her head up was for a photo shoot wearing Confederate Army artifacts. She wouldn’t even debate her opponent in that election.

That one isn’t quite right, it’s worse. See below (circa 2023)
Done by (D)s. And the (R) Representative for IL-15 lives outside the district (in that little blue sliver on your map).
And the (D)s are going to put up a candidate who also lives outside the district.

@arunadsouza.bsky.social , that was me. Just like the jet that would be “donated to his library, but he could use it.” These are not his contributions to the future of the country.
