I saw that on the ballot in Madison County and thought there would be no way it would pass. It passed in all 7 counties that had the proposal in the ballot.

There’s no way the counties down here can be financially solvent without the northern half of the state.

People keep telling me not to worry. After seeing so many things that “would never happen” come to pass it is difficult to not take this seriously. Both mine and my wife’s retirement is solely based on our Illinois teacher pensions. I’m guessing those dissolve if this comes to pass? Do I move preemptively?

At what point is the ignorance a choice? Most of us have the wealth of knowledge the internet provides in our pocket.

Bit O’ Honey

The man who cheated on his previous wife dying of cancer says other voting for control over their own healthcare are sick. Gotcha.

I know individuals and people who may vote Republican may not necessarily feel the same

But the racism card never becomes a deal-breaker. Republicans are more likely to get in line and go to the polls than those who lean to the left. If you choose to associate with and elect people who broadcast hateful rhetoric, you bear responsibility.

Everybody knows d minor is the saddest of all keys.

Those look very interesting. Thank you!

I think they’re so desperate to feel seen that they’ll deny everything their senses tell them. It’s incredible and sad.

Dude looks like a taller Syndrome from the first Incredible movie.

I haven’t known what to do since the 2016 election. The “Fuck your feelings” bunch are clearly in their feels and ignoring documented events in what most of us call “reality “.

Anyone else remember when Trump walked into a room of hyper-wealthy donors and said something like, “I just saved all of you a LOT of money!” after his Tex cuts were signed into law? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I’m am incensed that this is now absolutely true. I want no part of it.

And isn’t in the top 10 for these guys.

I can’t see how he’s anything but a liability.

I’ve never had the use of two emojis make me this uncomfortable.

Interesting. All the local shops here are far and away more expensive than the chains. I want to shop local, but everything looks to be 20-30% higher. I can’t justify it.

St. Louis Cardinals started selling blue ball caps. Not sure if it’s related to the 2016+ phenomenon, but I like to think it is.
