Illinois governor on Trump win: ‘You come for my people, you come through me’
]
Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker issued a stark warning to President-elect Trump following his landmark victory, promising that if anyone tries to "come for my people," they will have to "come through me."

"People have often said that I’m a happy warrior, and I’ve always taken seriously my role as a happy warrior on behalf of this state," Pritzker said in a news conference Thursday. "Even today, when I’m struggling with many of the difficult questions this election poses, my optimism for the future remains undiminished."
 
"To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom and opportunity and dignity of Illinoisans: I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior," he said. "You come for my people, you come through me."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He needs to get his bloated, fat ass out of the way.  I think he needs to defund his entire police force so he can keep federal troops out.  Isn't that how democrats think? :whistle:

Such bluster, you twit. Downstate Illinoisans despise you, Governor.

Unfortunately 'My People' is a very small group, which is the main problem with the Rat party.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
An awful lot of red on the Illinois map this go-round.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
