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.
Mayor Brandon Johnson says that him resisting President Trump deploying National Guard to Chicago is like when slaves fought for freedom against the confederacy.
Johnson is a lunatic and insult to his ancestors. They’d be ashamed of his race-baiting.

…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.
There were more murders in Chicago in 2024 than any other city in America. Chicago is consistently among the Top 10 in violent crime and total crime categories (both raw number and crime rates). @ChicagoMayor consistently ranks among the dumbest mayors in America too! pic.twitter.com/egW2QqpozB

He’s not condoning looting, you see, but try to understand, Johnson says, that certain types of behavior speak to a level of desperation.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has repeatedly refused to condemn looting and crime.
“The question is how do we make sure that people can eat?”

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.
Chicago has become a Joke … Nordstroms smash and Grab … imagine being able to steal some cars drive into downtown with 15 people then rob a store and drive out of downtown without anyone stopping you … while tourists video tape the event laughing like its a show … HiHo… https://t.co/jFS58IqhtU pic.twitter.com/M5uio1FyjN

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.
UPDATE: Allies of Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Teachers Union plan to fill a vacancy on the school board just hours before the board votes on the Chicago Public Schools budget this Thursday. The new board member is expected to vote in favor of a high-interest loan to… https://t.co/qVtnSVP9Xd pic.twitter.com/5pA2D8cofZ

…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.
