    It’s a great day for Chicago as long as it’s a shitty day for Lori Lightfoot..

    The Wuhan was a lab leak. Take it from the guy whose guys said Russia colluded with Trump.

    FBI Director Christopher Wray tells Fox’s
    @BretBaier: “The origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan. Let me step back for a second. The FBI has folks — agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, etc. — who focus specifically on the dangers of biological threats, which include things like novel viruses like Covid. And the concerns that they’re in the wrong hands — some bad guys, a hostile nation-state a terrorist or criminal — the threats that those could pose. So here you’re talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab that killed millions of Americans and that’s precisely what that capability was designed for. I should add that our work related to this continues. And there are not a whole lot of details I can share that aren’t classified. I will just make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work that we’re doing.”

    @5 They don’t care about human life after it’s born (or, in some cases, hatched*).

    * I’m thinking of the ostriches who bury their heads after every mass shooting immediately after messaging “hearts and prayers.”

    Imagine you’re on Team Biden, and the best argument you can come up with is to claim that no matter how shitty your decision will be to people, unless someone who will be harmed has standing to protect themself, the poor fucks just need to lie back and enjoy the ass-pounding the president wants to give them.

    Justice Elena Kagan said: “Usually we don’t allow one person to step into another’s shoes and say, ‘I think that that person suffered a harm,’ even if the harm is very great.”

    @ 3

    I stopped reading at “killed millions of Americans.” 1,115,637 is a million, not “millions.” If he can’t get that basic fact right, I’m not interested in what he says about origin.

    This from the guy who has to count his home equity, his neighbor’s home equity, and his future Social Security checks in order to claim he’s a millionaire.

    @11 “This from the guy who has to count his home equity, his neighbor’s home equity, and his future Social Security checks in order to claim he’s a millionaire.”

    This from a guy who has to make up shit to make his points. No part of this rant is true. I own well over a million dollars of stocks despite the recent market decline and not counting cash in investment accounts. What else have you lied about? Is there anything you don’t lie about?

    “A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that after trailing for the last three months, former President Donald Trump has suddenly surged to a substantial lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a two-man matchup for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.”

    https://www.aol.com/news/2024-poll-desantis-slides-trump-202853022.html

    This isn’t accurate. Trump’s popularity in the GOP didn’t surge; at best it remained static, although everything I’ve been reading recently suggests he’s bleeding support.

    What has happened is DeSantis’ popularity plummeted when voters, including conservative voters, got a better look at the platform he’s running on: Jailing teachers, firing college professors, censoring newspapers, charging taxpayers $36,000 per nose to fly legal asylum seekers from Texas to Massachusetts to keep Florida free of Venezuelans, and burning Mickey Mouse at the stake.

    @8 “unless someone who will be harmed has standing to protect themself”

    You need a reading comprehension class. Maybe you can sign up for a free one at your local public library, if you can find the library.

  16. 16

    @13: Let me restate this in terms a rightwinger like you can understand: God wanted me to be a millionaire, and if you’re sucking eggs, it’s because God wants you to suck eggs, in which case you should get yourself right with God. But that’ll never happen.

    2023 not looking good for current or former homosexual mayors so far.

    Chicago Mayor Nonpartisan General

    Candidates Votes Pct.
    Paul Vallas 155,609 35.02%
    Brandon Johnson 89,963 20.25%
    Lori Lightfoot * 72,951 16.42%

    The asterisk by Lightfoot’s name is to signify her homosexuality. It’s hard enough to take homosexuals seriously, and when they show up to press events in costume, they’re done.

    G-clown doesn’t yet realize that the unseriousness of homosexuals like Lightfoot does Mayor Pete no favors. Or course, neither does Mayor Pete’s incompetence.

    Crime is no joke, but the way Lori Lightfoot handled it sure is.

    How many of y’all Defund the Po-lice libbles are payin’ attention?

  19. 19

    Chicago libbies’ rallying cry for the next month will be “Let’s Go Brandon!”

  20. 20

    @18 I don’t recall anyone here wanting to defund the police. Not with you still on the loose.

  23. 23

    …unless someone who will be harmed…

    …SAYS SO.

    God only knows whatever the fuck that Bourbon-soaked argle-bargle the stupid Shit-lord crybaby posted meant. But the idea that only an injured party may bring a claim is fundamental.

    People often assume in our system that anyone can sue any else for any reason anywhere. But it’s far from that simple.

    Nobody can sue the government AT ALL except in only very narrow circumstances the government itself has defined and decided to allow. That’s true at every level and it is fundamental to the system of federalism that posturing jokers like Roberts claim to hold dear.

    Shaun King should be legally empowered to bring suit in California state court against Indiana for flooding Chicago with cheap guns.
    Change my mind.

  24. 24

    Speaking of cheap guns, I don’t recall reading anywhere in the Second Amendment that guns can’t be taxed. We tax gasoline, MyPillows, and comic books; some states even tax groceries. So why shouldn’t guns be taxed? The tax rate, of course, is a detail. And I can think of no reason why guns shouldn’t be taxed like tobacco, although even more so, because they do even more harm to society and cost taxpayers far more money than tobacco does. A 2,000% tax sounds about right.

    @ 22

    Let’s see you blame this on Mayor Pete.

    Let’s see you blame it on Trump, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    @ 23

    Shaun King or any other white dude should be legally empowered to bring suit in California state court against Indiana for flooding Chicago with cheap guns.

    Ilya Somin at Volokh:

    The conservative justices—and at least one liberal—also signaled they believe the “major questions doctrine”—which requires Congress to “speak clearly when authorizing an [executive branch] agency to exercise powers of vast economic and political significance”—is applicable here. Justice Sotomayor (who was sympathetic to the government on almost every other point), rightly pointed out that “the amount at issue, the Chief [Justice] mentioned the quarter [of] a trillion dollars or the half a trillion dollars… seems to favor the argument that this is a major question.”

    But it helped win the midterms for Democrats in a lot of close races, so who cares if young adults feel misled by the Democrat party. Those fucked kids should get to work. My Social Security ain’t gonna pay itself.

    G-clown sez the Greek train accident occurred when one train rammed the other from behind.

    This is gonna be a great year.

    Laura Loomer, yup, led a group of Trump Gear Wearing Cultists to a Ron DeSantis book signing here today.

    Ron set forces in motion to have them removed.

    On video a local security officer can be seen telling the the small group that they’re like the ‘radical leftists’

    So not only is the Trump DeSantis war on full display, DeSantis make a big show of trying to stomp on CONSERVATIVE free speech.

    It’s not even March yet.

    I have all the snacks you may need.

    30,
    I don’t think Fat Midget receiving a loving endorsement from JEB! will hurt at all either.

  33. 33

    @25 I blame Trump only for the Ohio rail crash, and Gov. DeWine only for the bungled response to the Ohio rail crash. Both of them are innocent of what happened in Greece, so far as I know.

    @27 “My Social Security ain’t gonna pay itself.”

    What Social Security? Republicans intend to gut your Social Security.

    The Biden Administration is failing this country by not protecting the border.

    Fentanyl deaths have doubled DOUBLED from April 2019 to April 2021 those are the statistics that we have.

    (Kevin…bro…you gave this moron a committee seat where she could say deaths during the TRUMP administration, the doubling thereof, are during shadow deep state Pre-Election stealing Biden Administration and out that in the congressional record. Gold clap!)

  36. 36

    I was the star of the show at the SOTU when we shouted that Fentanyl was ‘YOUR FAULT’ at the president.

    All these illegals coming across are killing our kids with their rainbow fentanyl!

    Gonna just stick my fingers in my ears LALALALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU!

    (Cato Institute, major study September 2022)

    In 2021, U.S. citizens were 86.3 percent of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers—ten times greater than convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense.

    Over 90 percent of fentanyl seizures occur at legal crossing points or interior vehicle checkpoints, not on illegal migration routes, so U.S. citizens (who are subject to less scrutiny) when crossing legally are the best smugglers.

    What has doubled the amount of arrests and seizures in the past two years is not profiling immigrants but emphasizing scrutiny of Americans with suspicious border crossing patterns. Like who goes to Tijuana for a single afternoon? Twice in a month? Maybe look in that guy’s trunk. Could be nothing but could be something.

    Yes, my name says it all but credit where it’s due.

    Meet Sherriff Mike Chitwood , Visalia FL who dealt with the MAGA nazis trying to make a big thing at the Daytona 500.

    “These scumbags came to the wrong county… We are not going to tolerate this,” a seething Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood said at a press conference on Monday. “This is not about free speech. This is about violence.”

    Chitwood, who did not hide his rage, said a group of GDL members from various states had spent last weekend traveling up and down Daytona’s International Speedway Boulevard while thousands of fans were in town for the races, “yelling obscenities” from the back of a rented U-Haul truck. He said he didn’t “see anything where these people can say this is First Amendment [protected speech]. This is nothing but pure, pure, pure evil.”

    NASCAR has not as far as I can find called out a big core part of their fan base of Good Ole Racists.

    Eli Lily the predatory capitalist scum just got shamed into admitting they’ve arbitrarily been overcharging Americans for a decade for a product that now costs them Pennies to manufacture.

    Eli Lilly announced Wednesday a series of price cuts that would lower the price of the most commonly used forms of its insulin 70% and said it will automatically cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 for people who have private insurance and use participating pharmacies.

    Lilly says it will also expand its Insulin Value Program, which caps out-of-pocket costs at $35 or less per month for people who are uninsured.

    Wall Street has reacted +1.3% on the news that they will be cutting profits giving a big tell on how ‘free markets’ and ‘demand’ are generally bullshit in American Capitalism.

    GOP – We have the greatest health care system in the world with all this private investment and profit.

  39. 39

    Crime is no joke, but the way Lori Lightfoot handled it sure is.

    Oh yours truly recalls you praised Lightfoot up and down for her crimefighting.. You did it right here.

    Yours truly just had to give you a bit of a nudge..

    There can be no higher praise from kreepshit than crediting big Dem city LE for a job well done and wishing anal rape and aids on the perp.

    s’ok kreepshit.. we all know you’re a bit challenged. You need our help.

    @ 38

    Wall Street has reacted +1.3% on the news that they will be cutting profits giving a big tell on how ‘free markets’ and ‘demand’ are generally bullshit in American Capitalism.

    Lilly is one of three companies which, combined, produce 90% of the insulin used in the US.

    A reduction in profit margin protects the remainder of the profit. No reason for California to set up its own insulin manufacturing process if there’s not a financial incentive. Lilly’s decision is anti-competitive, but cheered by all right-thinking persons.

    I’ll give you a minute to work out in your head how

    Monopoly ≠ Free Market Capitalism

    Strong week, Dumbfuck

    @38 Eli Lily will charge what the market can bear, and what the market will bear is Biden’s $35 cap. Eli Lily’s greedy execs didn’t do this, Biden did this.

    @40 Oh, so fear of competition scared them into it, huh? If there are three companies producing insulin, why didn’t competition keep prices down? Did they get together, or something?
