  1. >*In a written directive, the Democratic Illinois governor tells his hiring office that “no one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government.”*

    Couldn’t agree more with that very sensible assessment!

    And that should also apply to the constitutionally disqualified, adjudicated insurrectionist thus illegitimate so-called “president” Trump.

    In the view of many non-MAGA (read: not deluded nor corrupt) legal scholars and experts, the orange jackass is as much the legitimate president of the U.S. as is his puppet-master Putin.

    But unfortunately, since it’s the Republican crooks – long notorious for passing off their myriad and multiple crimes against the American people as “laws” – who are now in power, this nation is SO royally fucked – and not in a good way.

  2. My boy is gonna be in the headlines a lot in the coming years and I’m all for it. 

  3. I’ve only learned of this man in the last 3 weeks, and everything I’ve read about him makes me like him more.

  4. Republican governors will be competing to hire them by the end of the day.

  5. JB Pritzker is the best thing to happen to Illinois in a long time.

  6. Next democratic candidate isn’t going to be a senator, but a governor. They seem to be the only ones actually publically calling out trump for his bullshit.

  7. Man, this is just more proof that I really need to move back home. Illinois has its problems, but man do I miss it these days. I need Peoria to get a good Asian grocery store stat.

  8. There needs to be a Jan 6th rioters offenders list so people know who to not hire.

  9. They would have been DEI hires anyway…not the brightest bunch

  10. I fucking love this level of pettiness from the Dems, bring it on! The GOP thrives on toxic pettiness, give them a taste of their own medicine.

  11. Anyone with sense should be banning those chodes.

  12. Pardoned is still a guilty verdict. They did still commit the act and were sentenced. They should still be held to some conditions of that verdict. If he pardoned an serial killer we should still be watching that person like a hawk.

  13. I realize he’s a billionaire and part of that establishment, but damn, this guy seems to be one of the better ones.

  14. I used to be a bit wary of him, but he really seems like a good egg. Impressive leadership.

  15. This guy is a solid dude. Everytime I’ve heard him speak it’s like a refreshing rain of common fucking sense
