Rahm and Rauner are Fighting
Really. They both swear the tiff is real. They slapped each other repeatedly and threw shoes.
Meanwhile....:
Meanwhile....:
- Over the last six weeks, it was impossible to turn on the TV and not be besieged by political spots in Chicago’s mayor’s race.
But another component of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s fiercely fought re-election campaign appeared elsewhere.
Digital media boosting Emanuel showed up on smartphones, tablets and in online video ads. It specifically targeted digital devices in 38 of the city’s 50 wards.
It targeted younger voters and didn’t really bother with Hispanic wards, guessing those would go for Jesus “Chuy” Garcia anyway.
None of that is very surprising except when you find out this: Republicans paid for it.
Next, they'll be badmouthing each other on Facebook.

Boehner and McConnell really, really Hate Obama too. It is just tearing DC apart. They fight like dogs in front of the cameras, and then the same cocktail parties and exchange withering glances.
Just got my CFD - Chicago Fire Department Lotto number.. #121 !!
Fuck the police gig!
Gotta look good in front of the cameras! Boehner has a republican majority bigger than anyone has had for 50 years, but he cannot seem to stop Obama or cut spending. It's almost like he really doesn't want to do anything to stop Obama?
MMA 137 Rauner vs. Rahm
Follow the money.
Please...
The equivalent of Jerry Lewis and Marcel Marceau having a slap fight on a Parisian street corner over the virtues of Culottes and Clogs versus Capri Pants and Skips...
Then they jump on a tandem bicycle with a squeaky wheel and ride off together.
Perhaps Rauner can help downsize the city of Chicago's government. Help us reduce the number of wards to say, 20. Perhaps its time for major cuts in all government positions.
When the revolution comes,democraps and rinos (undercover democraps) will have a bounty on their ears and noses.
Good article about gun range hazards. Look at the graphs and maps. Not many gun ranges have been tested and most of those tested were found with high lead levels: http://projects.seattletimes.com/2014/loaded-with-lead/1/
Rahm is a two faced little punk! Probably was the same in ballerina school and high school.
Making fun of Down Syndrome kids.
Some asshole posted in another thread that Corky from the show Life Goes On has resemblance to Mayor Daley. That is grossly insensitive. Grow up and get a life. I am assuming you are an adult and a police officer. My son has Down's Syndrome. My boy is 24 years old and I can accept little kids saying mean stuff. I can never accept an adult saying mean and insensitive stuff. A month ago while shopping at Mariano's an adult customer said to his wife "why would someone bring a kid with a disability into this world? The poor kid should have been aborted". I was right behind them and my son was a few paces ahead of me. I am sorry if my kid isn't the picture perfect baby that can be posted on Facebook. But that is ok, life indeed does go on.
This fight is real. They actually had a ballet dance off. So you know it's serious.
Rahm is only progressive on social issues. He has exactly the same agenda as Bruce, they are getting along just fine. Of course the Republicans love Rahm, he is the bagman for Wall St., millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. All public sector employees are next on his list after he finishes busting the teachers union.
Governor can have the mayor over for dinner. Perhaps they can settle their differences over a bottle of chianti with soma fava beans
Maybe the Republicans are planning to field a real candidate here in four years.... and maybe the Cubs will win the pennant.
It's all for show.
Make no mistake Rahm and Rauner are in collusion to weaken/destroy the unions and fuck us out of our hard earned pensions
Money speaks louder than words.
The big question - who will be the first to "unfriend" whom? Rauner or Rahm. I'm waiting with baited breath.
Who cares?
"Next, they'll be badmouthing each other on Facebook."
It will go on for weeks, cars being burned in place, he-say-she-say going all down the block, s__t being thrown up upside-down, etc.
Someone will tell the quarrelsome pair to "take it into the alley," as Rahm himself once said.
Then the fatal Facebook posting -- digital prelude to analog homicide in the new century.
>ominous music<
Who will step up to the plate for our mayor -- be there for him, take the bus across town to bring him a .38, and, when it malfunctions, fix it and hand it back?

Remember that one?
Fight, hell. Here they are tying one on and laughing up their sleeves at the rest of us.

Yea sure, but rahm stated he is going to Springfield to again defer the 550 million pension obligation, keep working hard "hard chargers" now about your extinct pension! when we get our bills beit water,electric,gas,real estate taxes we pay or else we are shut off, or our homes are confiscated, but yet the millionaires don't have to pay their obligations due?
the 1% control us, but yet we battle with each other as they drop "spare change" to keep us in line!

Rest assured most people are not insensitive or ignorant of your situation.
Although we probably never met, your family, among many others, remains in my daily prayers.

Well, you're probably waiting with bated breath, unless you have a minnow in your mouth.
Me, not so much. They're pretending now, but Rahm's ego is going to get in the way and the feud will become real, much to Rahm's disadvantage. Rauner has real money and real clout. Rahm's a wannabe and will never have the standing Rauner has. It'll be interesting to watch.
Maybe Rahm and Rauner can have a walk off during fashion week a la Zoolander. Each can give their best interpretation on Blue Steel & Magnum.
I see a lot of bad things coming to this beautiful country and the city of Chicago won't recover.
PS
Please don't call Rahm the devil.
What has the devil do to to deserve that?

Good freaking point. I bring this simple fact up to my many hard core Republican friends. They can't answer why John Boehner and the House of Rep can not control the out of control spending. They can not answer why Obamacare is not defunded. The only solution is to throw out all of the rino's and fake establishment Republicans and vote in people with real conservative principles. Then if they don't deliver then vote them out too. It is not rocket science.

Rahm's volunteers put his signs in front of the building where I live and hat has never happened before. Chuy seems a little corrupt so, there was no good guy here.

I'm confused. Your offended because someone made fun of mayor Daley. I don't see your comparison with your kid and two totally unrelated people and a story about a supermarket. The comment on here and what happened to you aren't even remotely comparable.
Off topic and I apologize in advance but does anyone know what is going on in Eagle Ridge in Galena? I'm thinking of buying something there and have been watching or looking for a deal. All of a sudden there are 61 pages of homes for sale. Is there something going on out there that is making people sell or walk away? Would purchasing a home out there be a good investment now?
Thanks
Do you think they "Like" or "Friend" each other?

The only reason for Rahm being progressive on social issues is it gets votes and it doesn't cost him, it is our money he throws around for votes.
Back in the day... We used to install points, condensor, distributor cap, etc., during a 'tune-up' for a car built before 1973 or so, when electronic ignitions became the norm. During that process we also used a 'timing light' to fine tune the spark, 'top-dead-center' &all that. One of the terms in grease-monkey parlance used back then when we were fiddling with the ignition timing was: 'Retard' the spark. Which was another way of saying: 'Dial it back'. This was done to adjust for smog, fuel economy, certain spark plugs, etc. In any event, there is NOTHING WRONG with using the term 'Retard' - even for people. It is Not 'offensive'. It simply means 'held back'. It is stunning to me how the twisting of words and meanings, combined with Full-'Retard' has so completely FUCKED UP the psyche of so many people in America - and the world for that matter.

Some are hinting at a possible nervous breakdown. The National Enquirer says -- "News of Blago’s breakdown should surprise no one – after all, his brother, Robert, confessed in a new book there was always something peculiar about his sibling. “My parents weren’t sophisticated enough to have maybe diagnosed something then, and [they] tolerated his behavior,” Robert said."
I was wondering what was the force behind Rahm constantly appearing in my news feed on Facebook. Rahm is so nervous he never appears in a medium where the citizens can talk back.
to 08:36 AM
I agree 100%. My nephew Has Downs and he is a joy to be with. Anyone who would suggest that Downs children should have been aborted should have the crap beat out of them. My nephew is loved by his family and friends and will live a long and happy life. Good Luck and Stay Safe.

Rahm and Bruce, its just a dog and pony show.

Good
You and your ilk here on this blog just don't get it, do you, SCC? Your beloved mayor Rahm has TRANSCENDED political parties! He shall now be called..."OMNIRAHM!"
Finally a great idea to save taxpayers real money and you could fund the pension easily and give the hard working police officers a 3% cola how?

To the parent of the child who has Down's Syndrom. These children are truly God's Chilcren. I was fortunate to have a child with Down"s Syndrom in my family.

Chicago: Not Detroit, But Facing A 'Day Of Reckoning'
"...statutorily required increases in annual payments to the pension funds go into effect in 2016, totaling
nearly an extra $550 million per year. It's an attempt to make up for years of chronic underfunding: Contributions
from the city averaged 35% of what actuaries deemed necessary in 2012 and 34% in 2013, according to a recent bond
offering statement."
"The outsized pension liability, among other challenges, prompted a series of credit rating downgrades, including one
by Moody's in February to Baa2, just two notches above junk..."
"Most analysts believe that Chicago's population is relatively undertaxed and could easily absorb increases."

Who cares? No matter who is running this pit, it's going to end up in Federal Bankruptcy court anyway. The sooner the better.
Rahm is a pimp !!! He never could have out foxed Santino
But I didn't no till today that it was Rauner !!!!!
Sometimes I go to a grocery store that, I think, tries to hire people with disabilities. Sometimes the checkout moves a tiny bit slower but I don't mind. I really liked one young man with Down's. Believe me, he was real smart, right on the ball and "knew the score."
Little flummox, price-check on a $7.99 box of tea and the "normal" they sent to look couldn't find it on the shelf. Young man realized, "Hey, we are busy, got to move this along here."
Rang it up with the all-purpose "GROCERY -- $2.50" and went right on ringing everything else. We just smiled at each other.
It was like a little gift exchanged both ways.
I never saw four disabled store employees outside that store after work, making the filthiest, most disgusting sexual remarks to each other that you can imagine. That was the "normals."
Some kids scare me -- and it isn't the ones with Down's.
Stay safe and God bless.
Rahm wants the city tax payers to stop paying into the pensions of downstate teachers and Rauner said that he will not back Rahm on this. In addition, Rahm wants a city owned casino and suburban democrats want a state owned casino with Rauner not giving his position at this time. Rahm wants a state bailout and rauner said no.Nothing is going Rahm's way and by definition nothing is going Chicago's way. This city is in deep financial trouble. and our pension fund is in danger of insolvency with no obligation for the city to bail it out more then the 600 million which is not enough.

And here we are yelling about the Devil in those details...
OK.
As was observed in the results of the recent election, those who get off that half-dead ass and still drag it to work were outvoted by the low information and entitlement types who opted for maintaining the
current criminal-political/corporate sponsored status quo of The Illinois Combine-Daley Inc./Rahm & Co.
Now...
Look up and down the streets as you're driving to/from work and try to figure out which segment of Chicago's
"relatively undertaxed population" these money conjuring analysts are anticipating taking the entire rigid member of the father of all tax increases (cuz it's gonna be a mutha) through the seat of their still up and securely fastened pants?
It ain't gonna be Beggar-Man.
It ain't gonna be Elbow Luxurious
or his close associate, Scudder.
And it sure as high flying fuck ain't gonna
be any member of The Catered To Constituency
because they're a protected class.
It's gonna be the m/fer trying to hang on
that's going to have more money re-directed
from his pockets and out of his grasp.
The little working stiff trying to hang on to a
little loot is gonna get the gas pipe in his moon...
Money become magnetized and repelled when a peed-on peon or a middle class churl tries to reach for
some.
"Y'all rich cuz y'all got jobs an' pensions so why y'all salty an' shit cuz y'all gots to pay for us? We ain't got what y'all had to work for but we finna have it soon."
When are the political, corporate, financial, media and social titans and elites going to chirp cheerfully about THIS shit?

Did anyone hear on WBBM election morning that the election judges would be asking for identification? They said it's not required, but if you didn't have it your ballot would be "provisional"...they never asked for it in my forest glen voting place. But I bet they did in Hispanic neighborhoods...trying to scare off the Chuy voters...I'm all for having an ID when you vote--but it's amazing this is the first time ever they started asking for one...and then only in certain precincts?

The larger problem and of great danger is our Rahm-appointed City Treasurer.
Treasurer Kurt Summers Jr, (former aid to Bobby Rush) and formerly of Grosvenor Capital Management. Grosvenor Capital Management is a "fund of hedge funds."
Summers is putting our pension money in some very risky financial instruments. He's trying to make a lot in a short amount of time. The problem is, of course, that a lot can be lost in a very short amount of time also.
What he is doing works OK for high risk/high reward hedge funds using private investments but is a great big no-no for investing employee pension funds.
If he guesses wrong the Vanecko real estate deal will look like Berkshire-Hathaway by comparison.
No joke.
Look for a future mayoral run by Kurt Summers Jr, He is being groomed by the top african-american money people in Chicago.
