Also this. They actually had to close both parks Memorial Day weekend cuz they were at capacity. STATE PARKS AT CAPACITY. Try to visualize the numbers of people necessary to make that happen.

Oh god yeah. I should've gone to Kettle Morraine instead on Memorial Day. I'm like 20 minutes south of the WI border.

Got in on one of the trailheads waaaay at the west end of the trail on MD down there and it was loving nuts

I loving hate that commercial

"Thanks for the jobs, Illinois :smug:"

Said by all the trash states surrounding Illinois. Yeah Indiana and Missouri sure have a lot to brag about


I know I'm like the opposite of the target demo for it or whatever but it's extremely aggravating. Koch Stooge Scott Walker and a couple other GOP governors just gloating about doing their damnedest to turn their states into Kansas

I mean he doesn't give much of a poo poo about the culture war part of the conservative ethos.

He just wants his anti-union, and regressive economic poo poo.

did't actually read it yet but from the summary on the back it appeared to ascribe sinister, conspiratorial motives to his like expansion of abortion rights and stuff in addition to just criticizing him for betraying social conservative values lol

Alternatively, just cut out literally only Chicago instead of all of Cook county and it would probably work out. Only about half the county actually lives in Chicago proper. Plus, the downstate morons are probably clueless enough that they'd go along with it!

I'm genuinely curious if these idiots have drunk enough koolaid that they actually believe this is what would happen.

I will be real depressed if Underwood loses. Seems like a genuinely good person that Dems should be building the party around.

If she does lose, I hope she can get some kind of gig with the administration.

Especially because she would be replaced by perennial loser and Big Piece Of poo poo Ice Cream Man Jim Oberweis
