Rahm put it best though. Chicago is a mayoral position with national view and implications. We are on the news. We need to be able to pull federal money from Washington. So experience and political prowess is necessary. Would love to see Rahm come back.
Rahm makes too much money to be a mayor on top of being cocky and arrogant. I would snort some cocaine with him in a 5 star hotel but that’s about it. He is greedy and likes money. I take away nothing from him for that. While I didn’t not like the guy, biggest police blunder cover up happened under his watch. My only problem with him is he tried to cover up murder. That’s it. Why not just say guys these guys messed up I’m sorry.

I think he is both an outsider, and a candidate with the ability to manage and navigate the Illinois machine. He's known to be a budget guru, and an expert in public school systems.
Sure, put him in there why not? He’s not the worst. When he ran for something against Chuy, he didn’t exactly win me over. Chuy made more sense. He’s really cocky and cranky and know it all reminds me of Daley. He’s been outta sight outta mind so clean slate.

I find myself pining for the days of Rahm too. While he had faults, he understood what it took to grow the city and he had a vision. To be fair to Lightfoot, she was handed a pretty tough situation with the COVID. But I think overall, she is a lot less competent.

Worse, I'm not sure she's going to win re-election so I'm wondering who were going to get next. I think it's a crapshoot as to whether it will be better or worse.

Remember when we had the riots with BLM and all this stuff? How long ago was that? 10 years? They all went back to the woods where they crawled out from already. So weak. They are all iike the husbands, they can't keep it up. One minute man. They btch moan throw stuff and want all this change then they all disappear leaving it for the Trump voters. They certainly aren't a loyal bunch.

Biden was not my favorite candidate, but he did NOT steal the vote. He got 81,000,000 votes to Trump's 70,000,000 votes.

The courts through out Trump's suits because there was no legitimate evidence of voter fraud and Trump's lawyers even admitted that they were not alleging voter fraud. READ the court cases not what Rudy Guiliani and Sidney Powell say.

Accept it, Trump lost fair and square.
