That's kinda true. Pritzker cares about respecting and protecting them. Trump cares about terrorizing and exploiting them.

See? Not the same.

Heh. Before the pandemic the Western Bagel shop I'd stop at on my way to work not only knew my order, they'd sometimes imitate me ordering it.

I want to see her as April O'Neill with the Ninja Turtles.
I want the new James Bond to be 1969 George Lazenby.
I wanna see Gene Kelley doing Singin' In The Rain in front of a T-rex from Jurassic Park.

Oddly enough, a majority of the public supports those programs. It might help if Democrats had spent more time reminding that public just who enacted those programs.

This morning at a red light my wife casually observed, "That schmuck has his hazards on." And now I can't stop thinking about how Schmuck Hazard would have been the worst pulp hero ever.
