Gov. Pritzker on Rachell

Anyone that didn't see it should look for it.

He said he believes trump wants military in all major Dem cities because he wants them stationed at voting locations next year. He wants to claim he's protecting election integrity by seizing voting machines, and that THEY will count the votes.

I'm thinking he also wants them there to intimidate voters.

Pretty scary shit.

If feel so bad for him, instead of trying to manage the state of Illinois and doing work for its people, he's dealing with an invasion from a fascist dictator right here at home. So much for greener parks and pot holes hey JB?

He's also one of the few who really have taken these bastards front on front. Gavin is doing it and a few in congress are, but generally it's "business as usual" with the Dem leaders.

He's the best governor of Illinois in my lifetime. If he has presidential ambitions, he should pursue them, though I'd hate to lose him as my governor.

We've been incredibly lucky to have him as governor. I'd hate to lose him, but I'd be willing to share him with the rest of the country if need be.

It is obvious.
History is available to make it so,
I'm glad he brought it to us in a clear way, as stated, and with the non-interruption of Rachel, the consummate pro.
We are in deep trouble to the degree we have not yet fully absorbed, and this interview brought it closer to us.
Vigilance and clear expression in public as much as possible are desperately needed.

Run by a fake "civilian" ruling mob, that is, without military attire and uniforms.

The end result is the same.

Curiously, nobody seems to SAY the words "military JUNTA" in the US of A (yet).

It should be said loud and clear.

They need to protect themselves from violence of any and all kinds, masked or unmasked, camo or black shirts.

Sieze and hold onto POWER.

They will do anything they can to ensure they maintain control of the House & Senate in 2026. By 2028 elections in the USA will be like Putin's Russia, with predetermined outcomes.

Unless we can STOP them.

Besides hoping for his quick and painful demise.

If he's still alive, he's going to do everything he can to halt the next election. Dems can't impeach him if a fair race is not allowed for them to hold the majority again. Per the current polling, more than half the country hates him now. If we can grab both House and Senate back, he knows he's gone.
