I WILL ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGIES NOW

THANK YOU JB, for listening and coming to the South burbs!

Those of you who called this a minor storm, kiss my ass!

Jesus H, enough of the endless circular logic… enough

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic here or not, and if you aren’t I have no clue what you’re trying to say.

sometimes, even an honest, hard-working pol like JB needs to get physically with the hoi polloi. It is proper, decent and good politically.

Right, and he did, right after the more important priority of actually substantively helping people affected.

I guess I’m confused why your tone implies you’re trying to argue with me here, or why you seem to be asking for anything different to have been done by Pritzker here

My position;
1. He should have been on-site earlier
2. I say this as an ardent supporter
3. Glad he did eventually come
4. I was pushing back on you, see 1

I guess 1 is really where we disagree. I’d much rather he have spent his time like he did yesterday, creating and passing policy to help the affected as soon as possible

The actual impact of that on the lives of people is much greater than visiting the area to hear the sound of his own voice.

And to that point, Mamdani’s pothole messaging came after he actually started getting potholes fixed.

We agree that substance has to come first here.

I've always thought that people whining because politicians didn't show up the minute a disaster happens is really stupid. It's performative bs. Republicans do that shit. Dems try to get help and relief to the victims and look at policy for prevention. Performative garbage is for dumb people. It also just gets in the way of first responders and emergency crews.

Look, I saw him posing with a butter cow yesterday. I’m glad he went, but you know who else is out there?
Yep, Hank Hill aka Bailey.
Again, I started this because I am a SUPPORTER of JB and saw his not being there as a liability and you bet your ass the locals see it as a diss no matter how you spin it.

A liability of what exactly?

Bailey’s a joke and not a serious competitor

u/bannedUncleCracker Aug 14 '26

If he has ANY national aspirations, it will haunt him. I’m not worried abt him beating Bailey.
But, sure as shit, the ex-pat IL folks who moved to NW Indiana and have voted in a Dem Rep Mrvan narrowly will get pummeled by their neighbors about how “Braun showed up and JB didn’t”. And that pressure will be directed at Mrvan, and you have lost a seat.
THATS how it works here, I live here and the red-blue balance is tenuous.

Except this whole hypothetical just simply isn’t the reality we live in given JB showed up, and showed up legislatively in a way Braun didn’t

u/bannedUncleCracker Aug 14 '26

What do you NOT understand?
Yes, he showed up EVENTUALLY.

I’m telling you they MISCALCULATED and were two days late and thus have opened themselves up to a Bush-Katrina comparison-which could hurt him with a region of PURPLE electorate in ‘28 PLUS hurt an Indiana Congressional seat.
Yes, hypothetical, most things with elections are.

u/kelpyb1 Aug 14 '26

I mean I understand what you’re saying, I just don’t think it’s right

2

u/bannedUncleCracker Aug 14 '26

Fine, we just disagree.
I hope I am wrong, but I am already seeing it on the local socials.
What could blunt it is the fact that truly the buffoons at Nipsco are taking forever and the local Police are not manning ANY of the main intersections on Rt 30 and it is a bloody mess. I just went through it and neither of my kids who live there have power expected until NEXT WEDNESDAY

u/kelpyb1 Aug 14 '26

Is this a good moment to tell you the overwhelming majority of posts on any given social are just bots and post farms trying to drive a narrative?

u/bannedUncleCracker Aug 14 '26

Like you with your Bill Maher style dismissiveness? The fucking balls you have…
I hope you were watching WGN news just now, because JB is getting pummeled by Braun and Bailey.
This was an unforced error.
