Shout out to my Governor, JB Pritzker. He knew what Trump was sooner, and pushed back harder

Than anyone not named Nancy Pelosi in America

JB understood that Trump was a piece of shit - If not immediately, at the very least, quicker than the vast majority of politicians.

JB remembers what this guy actually is, and will tell you

The video on the thread that I posted earlier went private on YouTube so it's good to know that Pritzker's message is receiving some coverage.

briefs and i took notes for both. i found those spiral notebooks and my daughter told me not to throw them out. so i kept them but damn -- depressing as hell. and i blame that piece of shit trump for all of it.

(maybe pritzker was doing them at the same time cuomo was, idr)

i recall.
or maybe cuomo aired too early for me, or i just stopped watching him.
either way, it was like church for me
(and writing this i'm thinking what a weird comparison -- i don't go to church. but i found them to be a combination of frightening, hopeful, informative, and comforting. what a fucking crazy time)
