Chicago politics and events

POTUS is visiting Chicago today. Nobody let Jelly Belly Pritzker near his food. If he doesn’t steal it for himself he’s liable to poison it and start his 2024 run.
 
That’s a good way to lose your job.
Unfortunately you are correct. There is no recourse for teen takeovers anymore. Cops are told to form a perimeter and let it burn out. People can retrieve their smashed and ransacked vehicles in the morning. If someone is getting beaten maybe they can make an arrest.

The CPD officers I know are just collecting a paycheck at this point. Which isn’t terrible I suppose, the city government doesn’t ask or expect you to do anything for crimes in progress, in that way it’s safer.

But they have to feel pretty purposeless.
 

After recent local elections the last few years, maybe Chicago is becoming the nation's premiere progressive city?
Let them go all in. Laboratories of democracy. See how it shakes out

Attended the No-glove, 16” softball championships in Forest Park yesterday. There is a Hall of Fame next to the fields. These guys are incredible fielders and strong as oxes to be able to hit that ball as far as they do.

Is 16” softball played anywhere else, though? Like Italian beef, is it primarily a Chicago thing?

This dude was playing in the championship game. I'm guess this must be what McMurt is like in the old-man soccer leagues in St. Louis:



I mean, how can this not be the Dream Team's game?

Dude I am on that like Hunter Briben on a pole dancer.
14 yrs ago, in Coed softball (and 55# less weight) I rounded 2nd to stretch it to a triple. I pushed so hard that when my hamstring POPPED THE EFF out, and sent me into a cucumber roll.... the center fielder ran to home plate to meet me, because all of the other pussies quite thinking I was dead so I crawled for the score, said and I qoute, WHAT was that effing pop I heard when you accelerated around 2nd? I said, the napalm now take me to the ER.
I'll Mush all this shit up. All of it. I want Russia in the first game. :)

Cool thing about this tournament is its a nice melting pot of people, mostly blue collar.

Polish, Italians, Mexicans, all-black teams, mixed teams, you name it. Some big, muscular dudes, some guys with beer guts but who can still run. Some guys who, at 5'5", can hit that mush ball about 350 feet. Lots and lots of legit Magnum P.I. type mustaches. Tats galore. Backwards hats, knee braces and supports, smell of Ben Gay everywhere.

I'm now imagining the Left v. Right game of 16" softball. Going to have to keep Aloha and DANC on opposite sides of the field. Coach has his hands full.

The winners can take on the Independents (if we have enough).

I'm sure mcm666 thinks he has the proper equipment for the "16 Inch Way of Life" that is referenced in that first video.

Hey @DrHoops , you walked by Inn of Chicago in your neighborhood recently?
That’s why we moved to Gold Coast. Pritzker has his main Chicago residence in Gold Coast. Limousine liberals don’t shit in their own back yards or they wouldn’t be limousine liberals.

That said, I’m sure that place is empty 95% of the time Jelly Belly and Brandon should store some migrants there.

Looks like they are a few steps ahead of you…………..

Walk by there sometime.
 
Not sure who was asleep at the wheel here, but holy cow this is an eye-popping number:

Fraud : Illinois / Potato : Potato. equals. Nothing to see here, it's how the powerful stay....... Well powerful. They have it down so well that their fraud is 9001:2002 certified.

What’s a few 120 million between Democratic socialist alderman?
"At an April City Council hearing, Adl. Ariel Reboyras (30th) testified, 'One of the estimates I'm seeing is we average about $7,000 a month for each migrant seeking asylum.'"

WTF????

Are people grifting off of these people? Gov. Abbott makes a bunch of Chicago politicians richer. Great.

I figure $300/ month in shelter, $200/ month in food, $500/ month to volunteers and $6K for the city officials doing such noble work.
 
Typical:

"This is plainly illegal," said Matt Topic a government transparency attorney who has sued the city hundreds of times for not turning over public records. "The statute says that a public body has to respond to a request for a review like this."

Topic said this about the city ignoring three requests from the Illinois Attorney General's Office, "It's saying that the city thinks it's above the law and the city doesn't have much respect for the taxpayers who are paying for their salaries and paying for their record systems."
