Alright Pritzker, time to put your money where your mouth is and have every one of these fuckers arrested for kidnapping

    I wrote a joke where I had him say "This will not stand," and then he does nothing. But I checked his Bluesky account, removed that joke, and I started again. It's actually worse. Here's a post from 2 days ago. He doesn't even say "This will not stand." In a 3 minute vid - without saying a word about what he'll do - he lists what ICE has done in Chicago and he says that Noem, Trump, and Homan lie.

    It's a 2028 presidential campaign stump speech.

    Over the weekend, we received reports of federal agents from ICE and Customs abusing their power.

    And now, we're being told the Trump Administration wants to deploy 100 military troops to Illinois.

    One thing is clear — none of this is making Illinois safer.

    I remember my lib friends told me he said he'd actually use the police to stop ICE, or use his powers in some way, but they seem to have called his bluff and he's not doing anything. It's like the stupid boats that accompanied the flotilla.

    On a national stage - he was the loudest voice yelling "authoritarianism". But of course he's also a lib so he'd never do anything. The dems are turning words like "authoritarian" into lib campaign rhetoric and the American public will stop listening just like they do when Chuck Schumer drones on and on about kitchen table issues and— Man, I'm so sleepy! Wait a minute. What I was talking about!
