Politicians look to separate Chicago from Illinois to create 51st state

The so-called "Second City" may eventually become the next state, after frustration regarding Chicago's influence over politics in Illinois.

A group of state Republican lawmakers recently signed on to legislation proposing the nation's third-largest city become the 51st state.

"It's more of a frustration of the policies than the true belief that Chicago and Illinois would be better off as separate states," Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer told the State Journal-Register. "I don't believe that Chicago and the state of Illinois should be separated. Our relationship is mutually beneficial."

Chicago may be known as the "Second City," but it remains Number 1 in the ranking of most corrupt big cities in the nation, according to a new report.

The report, titled "Corruption in Chicago and Illinois," released Monday from the University of Illinois at Chicago notes that while there's been a decline in recent years of federal convictions for public corruption, the Windy City still leads other localities.

"Additionally, Illinois remains the third most corrupt state when compared on a per capita basis to other large states and the District of Columbia," the report's authors note.

 

Well this is certainly a good sign for people like me that wants Trump's finances and tax returns investigated. Because every time Trump threatens to sue somebody it proves he is both guilty and bluffing.

Thank God for RAWSTORY. My satellite is out and I was missing Rachel Maddow.

Maddow demolishes the ‘liar, liar’ defense pushed by ‘Trump’s secrecy lawyers’

*And I am sure many will deny it. But Maddow actually makes a very solid argument.

The only solid thing Maddow produces is a bowel movement.

 

I must really be bored this morning......for me to comment on anything that Maddow claims is...well...unprecedented.

She's just plain...dumb.

But, it has not yet been confirmed that the Congressional subpoena/request to release Trumps tax returns, are of 'legitimate legislative purpose'.

Other than taking the word of a self admitted and a convicted liar.

 

No, actually he didn't.

 

Privately chosen? Mueller is a Republican, and the man who appointed him is a Republican. How do you figure that the democrats made the choice?

 

Calling you "college boy" is abrasive? And if you are so offended by such words, it makes me wonder what you think of all of Trump's name calling...

 

Try this quote...

Seems a reasonable suspicion...

 

Trump did not self-fund his campaign. He had many donors to his campaign.

 

That is just oilfield terminology he is particularly sensitive to.

And since we constantly need to expose the lies I think this also needs to me here.

 

Busted.

IRS legal memo on Trump’s taxes just got leaked to the Washington Post

Yeah if you are Trump this is another one of those "I'm fucked" moments. Most of the information for federal taxes are included in New York state taxes. And probably even worse it presents opportunities to compare the returns. You know like in tax fraud.

N.Y. lawmakers pass bill to allow Congress access to Trump's state tax returns
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to sign the legislation.

I could care less about his tax returns or Clinton’s or any other president. What matters to me is how our country is lead.

His Twitter is embarrassing, his comments are out of line, his petty arguing is stupid. But he has done very well for our country.

 

@theperverted1

Fuckwit....

We can still have guns..... just not assault weapons with large magazines.

Our guns have to be registered and kept in a locked safe or at the gun club.

After the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, our then government did something about gun control by having a buy back scheme......unlike your gutless governments that sends prayers to the victims families then bends over and takes it up the arse by the NRA who doesn't give s shit about the safety of your citizens.

 

The U.S. has a different form of Government than you do.

It's just something that you'll need to accept.

 

I realise that.

Your pollies start off getting a reasonable wage and when they retire they're multi millionaires......corrupt corporate politicians.

 

Trump is going off the deep end so bad Nancy Pelosi is calling for an intervention.

Because he now knows there is no way he can hide his tax returns and finances.
