Wow.

I can't even with this pinhead.

A reporter asked Mayor Brandon Johnson, Chicago's own Bear of Little Brains, if he wasn't the teensiest bit worried that all the mouth pushback would goad President Trump into sending federal troops to Chicago.

And instead of being a good bear, taking a deep breath and going...

...the mayor's tiny, pea-sized prefrontal cortex engaged his maxillary orifice immediately, and slavery spew came forth.

...Could you imagine if, as a descendant of slaves, if my ancestors would have had that same rationale? Let's not fight against the Confederacy. Let's just try to get along and then maybe one day they'll give us our freedom. The fact that you have a unified front in Chicago, where we are rejecting the occupation by the military of our cities, that's actually fighting for our democracy...

He pats himself on the back for his courageous leadership.

So, twisted history aside, what an insufferable doofus.

Chicago begs to differ on his leadership skills.

He's not condoning looting, you see, but try to understand, Johnson says, that certain types of behavior speak to a level of desperation.

Doncha know.

Looting Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom's helps desperate people in Chicago eat, according to the mayor. So, no, he doesn't need any stinkin' National Guard.

They're just hungry.

As for his 'united front,' not so fast, there either, pal. There are more people in the city besides your peeps behind you, and those folks think the feds rolling in is a great idea.

In an interesting aside and adding to the stresses on the fragile mayor's tiny pinhead, it turns out the vote for that payday loan I've been telling you all about for almost a year is coming up. The one he fired the school system czar over and then tried to lean on the new board, all to grease the exorbitant retirement fund for his overlords, the Chicago Teachers' Union (CTU)?

Welp.

It doesn't look as if that's going to be smooth sailing for him, either. There has been a general revolt on the city council, and they are now leaning on the school board to reject it outright. 26 of 50 aldermen have signed a letter to the school board urging them not to fall for the ruinous loan in the tailpipe trick.

RUT-ROH

But not before the mayor doesn't pull some last-minute razzle-school-board-dazzle of his own.

...The new board member is expected to vote in favor of a high-interest loan to make a one-time $175M payment to the city.

Well, that's certainly the Chicago way in action and the kind of 'courageous' leadership Brandon Johnson's ancestors...are probably rolling in their graves over.

What a posturing, bloviating bag of gas.

There may not be anything left of Chicago for Trump to save at this rate.
