Good riddance to bad rubbish

This pic makes Lightfoot look like a garden troll zombie. Chicago was tough on her.

Has anything ever happened when you replace a democratic politician with another democratic politician? Please provide verifiable evidence.

I’d hate to see her go. She’s the best Chicago has to offer

Life in America will improve with Lightfoot out of office, life should improve for Chicago..fingers crossed..

I guess Chicago voters had finally suffered enough.

BREAKING NEWS. If you didn’t vote for Lori Lightfoot your Raciest!! That’s what the liberal media will say!!’

Beetle juice beetle juice beetle juice

As long as Democrats run Chicago the city will continue to self destruct.

Let's hope the voters in Chicago decide to flush this turd.

For Chicago’s benefit…I hope they Law & Order over Woke & Wasted…

They will still elect a socialist who won't solve the problem.
