They did, but from what I remember, there's plenty of space to offload troops.. it IS marching distance from the Loop from there, so no vehicles required once boots are in the park.

What used to be Meigs Field still is clear of obstructions for military helicopters. And Trump would LOVE the optics of troops coming off choppers.
This image shows the puncture mark. The hand bruising (and makeup) suggest recent IV placement in fragile veins, likely worsened by blood thinners. Combined with leg swelling, this pattern is more consistent with cardiovascular disease (CHF) and anticoagulation therapy than with CVI.
Trashelle isn't shown; she was hit on by Corey years ago while at an event her hubby was paying for. Speaking of paying, the male Odom paid for the LV Strip suite where Rodimer beat his buddy to death: www.8newsnow.com/crime/trial-...
The guy on the left is tight with Corey, but is currently awaiting trial in Las Vegas for beating his cocaine connection to death. The guy on the right is currently in Federal prison for his fraudulent time in Congress. And don't even start on TRASHELLE ODOM.. man, MAGA has some very sleazy people.
Trump's people published this AI fantasy several months ago, including 45 drinking beer(?) and Bibi holding a bowl of Jaffa orange juice, as they spread their adipose-riddled bodies (as imagined by their backers) on the ashes of the dead in Gaza.
"NOW we feel safe to go out to our favorite restaurants. We heard about how Kristi Noem was robbed while dining."
Honorable Mention to Mike Quigley, btw.. but his work as a Representative is in Washington.
Growing up and getting a PoliSci degree in Illinois means you get acclimatized to Chicago Democrats and Downstate Republicans going to prison with stunning frequency. But yes, watching a male Illinois Democrat with both honor and balls is a new one for me, too.
I have my critiques about Pritzker, but right now they seem insignificant against my appreciation that he is the governor right now
In 1983, a well-regarded broadcasting company hired me to run two radio stations in Shreveport, LA. Although born in DC, and raised in and around Chicago, the racist attitudes of white professionals in that city were so overwhelming, I could not hide my disgust. I'll never again live in the "South."
Trump is circumventing the law, as he did w/Alina Habba, to keep a loyal partisan in place. What does the US atty have to say? "When reached for comment on Tuesday, Chattah hung up on a Nevada Independent reporter." via @eric_neugeboren thenevadaindependent.com/article/laws...
Amazing how once ONE corrupt billionaire has a helicopter pilot he can fuck, they ALL want one.
Rednecks wouldn't oppose Nazis moving next to them, so the Army moved them there after WWII. Any other justification is bullshit.
The man on the left? Awaiting trial in Nevada for murder.. oh, he's a MAGA candidate, too. The man on the right? He's in federal prison now for fraud and election laws. He's MAGA as well.
I was born to be a patriot. Donald Trump was born to be a traitor, a rapist, a thief.
While they can, those at MSNBC will try to reduce the amount of toxins they release on air. In contrast, the entirely bought and paid for Warner Brothers/CNN money machine has made their investment and wish to secure their safety. Frankly, fuck CNN. But MSNBC still features Joe, a 2 faced fascist.
Don't IGNORE me! I used to spin numbers and I got lionized! But now, I just play poker and back fascists, but don't IGNORE ME! (I guess it's tough being a numbers guy when the numbers turn against you.)
Don't forget the woman who funded Trump before the crypto kids realized he would make them trillionaires.
He's late today because he's trying to jerk his gherkin.
Alabama traffic lights assume everyone has 30 second reaction times and nothing above 2nd gear. At least in Florida, that only happens to one of the two roads. In Alabama, everyone waits forever.
Defenestration warmups.
This son of a bitch has let more rich Republicans go with little or no charges/bail/jail time than any DA I've ever heard of. I will contribute to the campaign of any reliable competition. www.reviewjournal.com/news/politic...
Carl Sandberg's Chicago (1914)
So, which religious organization has created a cult in Colorado Springs versus the one that will replace it in Alabama? I heard from Mormon Air Force officers serving in Colorado Springs was stressful due to the cultish behavior of others there.
Researchers are supposed to be truth tellers. This man envied the talking heads over at the opinion table. I am retired because very few media execs want the truth.
But the Wall Street Journal tells us there's nothing to worry about.
Just like the fake elector scheme.
I'm honored by this Like.
Remember when Rudy got a little ahead of himself? He didn't get that job. Lev Parnas can tell us a LOT about Rudy, given Lev spent a year in prison for doing Rudy's bidding.
Do these men look like they are patriots? I see obese cosplayers hunting for Happy Meals. But they can demand respect from brown people now, goddammit. As long as they don't walk up from behind them.
Commendable. He's not been well, but this man has lived his life for power/service and he's at the zenith of it. He would probably survive the 26 election if he made it through the primary, but as he said, Biden's example tells him not to fight time.
Ooohh.. nice to see other numbers people speaking out. It's one thing to be good at recognizing patterns and trends, (join the club, Nate) but he's decided to suck up to "them." Has for years, but now it's glaringly obvious.
This is what it has meant for Trump, always. Make me more powerful and give me money and I'll reward you. Want to buy our incredibly secure embassy in Tel Aviv? Sure!
As Americans observe Labor Day, workers across the country are taking to the streets to protest President Donald Trump and other billionaires who, they say, are taking power away from the working class.
Ali Velshi spent MONTHS going through, chapter by chapter, Project 2025 LAST YEAR before the elections, making it clear what would be coming. Ali's frustration expressed this weekend should be universal, but those who didn't get enough attention in the past will whine he's not doing enough.
Complaining about the price of Happy Meals, as patriots do.
Mr. Raho, thank you for this observation.
I realized who my spouse was when she found that Married With Children made her laugh the most. Wish I had known.
Seeing Charles Blow describe his experience writing for the NYT in similar terms to Paul Krugman really brings home how much the entire NYT is a heavily curated monoculture focused on manipulating, directing & controlling upper middle-class public culture in the US. It's why it's such a bore, too.
Owned and posted by Donnie Jr, this AR-15 features Hillary Clinton behind bars on the magazine. Serial #888 also features the "Crusaders" theme, celebrating the "Christian" mercenaries who killed Muslims & Jews during the Middle Ages.
Yep, biking Lake Shore Drive on a beautiful day has got to be every Chicago bike owner's dream. I'll keep track of this for next year, if we're all still here.. there's a BUNCH of fantastic fall events in Illinois, and I believe the Gov will keep the state safe.
Here she is, in all her glory. Cosplaying with federal funding for her wardrobe, so little Photoshop needed, and I didn't add any. She just LOVES to dress up, shoot puppies, fuck Corey and betray America.
The NYPost claims he'll be out of the hospital and wearing a cervical collar in a few days. Comments on the page make it sound like a superhero got knocked down, but EVERYONE should be cheering for "OUR MAYOR", but that's the NYP. So who is paying him to show up and show off? Adams or Cuomo?
Compare this to the marginal tax rates of the 1940s/50s.
My blood pressure reaches heights deemed impossible by cardiologists when I see two fascist fat oafs steal from their own countries and dream of a future where others are eliminated. This AI image was posted by the 34 time convicted felon himself.
He's been avoiding rooftops and windows for months, but I guess he fell for a "damsel in distress" distraction. He'll be trying to soak up sympathy with a ghostly white cervical collar while supporting either Cuomo or Adams... whoever pays him more.
Here she is, standing next to a man currently charged with murder. Did I mention he's a drinking and drugging buddy of Corey Lewandowski, who got into trouble for hitting on Trashelle Odom, whose ex-husband funded the party where Rodimer beat another drug buddy to death. GREAT PEOPLE!
And if you are in your 70's, this YouTube video of a six minute long song you've not heard since your grade school gym class will take you back. Remember to fight against fascism harder than we fought against Chicken Fat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFof...
Robert Preston was dying of lung cancer when he filmed this, his last work, which he lovingly referred to as "Music Man in Space." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_...
“The month before a shooter opened fire on children gathered in a Minnesota church this week, the Trump administration cut funding in the state for efforts to identify potential mass shooters…which some experts and lawmakers say bolsters work to spot early warning signs of mass shooters” 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Under him, the prosecutor’s office obtained the arrest of Alexei Navalny and the ban of all organizations associated with it, initiated a large-scale campaign to nationalize private business worth about 2.4 trillion rubles
Only one of these men admitted he took money from Russians. Of course, Adam Laxalt wasn't charged for it while Lev Parnas was.. but that's the way the "Republican Party" works in Nevada. As for the traitor currently charged for the Fake Electors scam, he's beside himself in joy.
If Trump is selling citizenship for $5 million, he's going to be selling "fancy maids" soon. First, they'll take young women left behind after the men who would protect them are sent overseas. Then they'll start debtors prisons, with children responsible for parents' debts. Then, lease out convicts.
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
If I were under 65, I would discuss my exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke for the first 14 years of my life with my doctor, thus qualifying as a former smoker. As a resident of a state with "legal" cannabis, I'll remind others that "smoking" qualification doesn't include the substance smoked.
Americans are begging for Democratic leadership to get off the mat and back into the fight. If you’re a political leader in this country and are not prepared to fight with both hands, not prepared to make “good trouble”, then perhaps you should step aside and make space for those who will. #Velshi.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
No mercy. Burn it all down.
Kelsey got hosed by the WNBA and the Las Vegas franchise. She was the *only* professional athlete I gave a shit about in this town, and they hosed her. Wait till she throws t-shirts into the rafters.. what an athlete.
Ok, it's my birthday, so the gift I didn't ask for was this morning's Velshi, when he stopped his second hour and called out the ancients leading the Democratic Party, then showing us his list of people & actions he WISHES were more in control. I love this man. A journalist.
I think he has had too much of the horse medicine.
Bibi has been building cooperative fascism with Trump and Putin for over a decade.
WTT: The White Trash Takeover
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
I want to feel what these soldiers were feeling.
Going to guess that tens of thousands of Boy Scout in the 1960's who went there for a campout/retreat remember the barracks as being forlorn, even then.
JUST IN: Gov. Mike Kehoe called a special session starting Wednesday to help the GOP hold onto Congress. It's part of the battle to reshape the voting map and help Trump keep a majority for his agenda.
We'll write that on the mirror in the hotel room bathroom when he wakes up in a bath of ice cubes in the tub with a funny pain in his back. /s
On the other hand, I'm afraid we're in for a decade of "Pop Singing Heroes" in every anime series the same way we now have "I Died, And Now I'm Different" isekai in every single anime.
"I became a hater by doing precisely those things AI cannot do: reading and understanding human language; thinking and reasoning about ideas; considering the meaning of my words and their context; loving people, making art, living in my body with its flaws and feelings and life."
Here's KN with now federally imprisoned GOP congressman, currently murder charged failed GOP congressman. She sure hangs out with interesting people in addition to murdering puppies and cheating on her cucked hubby.

Dems should immediately call Thomas Fugate (the 22-year old intern who T***p put in charge of counter terrorism) to testify about how we missed the danger signs posted by the Minneapolis gunman.

A field guide to dumbfuck white trash carrying weapons in public and the flags/costumes/symbols each display, and advice to look closely at "mainstream" GOP because Matt Schlapp is waving the flag of the 3% Movement which calls for violence.
Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS. This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.
Happily, it does NOT specify the substance, nor is any proof required. So those hippies who proudly avoided tobacco all these years (and are still under 65) will qualify. One toke takes you over the line, sweet jesus.
Apparently, the eldest son of the current resident of the White House has marked up an assault rifle with the image of one of his intended targets. We know this because the dumb fuck posted it himself with his own account. May he discover karma quickly.
And then there was John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. At Ravinia. Followed by Beef Wellington at The Bakery. Best concert experience EVER.
Miriam Adelson, you could end this horror with a phone call to Bibi. Tell him he doesn't get any more money from you, nor will Trump get any more money, until there is no more starvation in Gaza. But even though you're a doctor, YOU WILL LET THEM STARVE. Did Bibi get his child abusing guy back? Yep!
He actually tried to grow a mustache for that photo. In addition to his Hargitay-arched eyebrow, he's got this incredibly "cute" line of tiny little hairs in a thin line over his upper, snarling lip. Hey, you pathetic twat, wait till you meet the hippies who survived the 60's.
Still asleep waffle seals who keep their trigger finger ready to pick their noses.
Nexstar is buying Tegna, and already owns the most TV stations in America, plus NewsNation, The Hill and WGN. Yet the median income for all that media is just $38K. The year shown below was the lowest of the following years for CEO pay: $19 M. And now they abandon more and more local newsrooms.
You know who else paints their sworn enemies on AR-15 mags? Coke fiend Donnie Jr.

Birds of a feather tweet together.
Two of Chuck Todd's favorite guests on MTP were Hugh Hewitt and David Brody. This comment further illustrates perfectly why he was so incredibly useless.
We saw all your comments yesterday on our post about celebrity chef and D.C. icon José Andrés, and we agree with you he truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! 💚
