Pritzker starts setting up for 2028

Chinatown in Chicago was historical as people from Hong Kong and the areas close to it. Cantonese was the most common language spoken there.

That has changed a bit in recent years, but I dont think that just because more people in Chinatown are from "mainland" China does not mean that they are pro-China. There are quite a few that left because of the government.

As to immigration, I would guess that at least 60% (or more) of the service workers in Chinatown at the restaurants, shops, etc. are illegal. But, I guess they dont vote. LOL

This is a pretty middle-class white neighborhood. Just to the east of O'Hare.

Politicians take too many things for granted.

"Illinois will always be Democrat"
"Texas will always be Republic"
etc

Being complacent will cause failure.

20 years is not "always," but it's close enough for government work.

"Texas will always be Republic"

Um…Frank Calabrese is a political commentator?? Not part of The Outfit?

Speaking of Illinois...

Remember when the federal government threatened to withhold funds if the states didn't implement a 55mph speed limit on the interstates?

I can see the incoming administration doing a similar thing with other policies - immigration, transgender stuff, etc.

"Conspiracy to violate immigration laws—particularly 8 USC §1324, harboring illegal aliens--is a Federal felony good for 10 years.

I hope AG Gaetz is taking notes on these public confessions."

There's the cosplay LD was referring to. At this time, mere fantasies of cosplay, but let's see where it goes.

@George-K He tried it in his first term with sanctuary states and failed. The money has to be related to the action, else it’s just extortion.

I can't see Pritzker getting very far. He's just not that cuddly, engaging or smart. His policies are too conventionally Democratic.

Isn’t that a literal and actual insurrection?
