Eating Their Own
If you tried to sell this script in Hollywood, they'd laugh you out of town:
- Susana Mendoza tried Tuesday to drag her mayoral rivals down into the mud with her after the latest shoe dropped in a burgeoning corruption scandal that now involves three of her powerful political patrons: Aldermen Edward Burke (14th) and Danny Solis (25th) and Il. House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Mendoza went to work hours after the Chicago Sun-Times detailed the federal corruption allegations that prompted Solis, chairman of the City Council’s Zoning Committee, to spend more than two years secretly recording more than a dozen conversations with Burke, the former longtime Finance Committee chairman, as movers and shakers sought city actions.
The newspaper also reported that the FBI secretly recorded Madigan trying to get business for his private law firm from a developer brought to him by Solis, who was weighing the developer’s request to build a hotel in Chinatown.
And the next fifteen or so paragraphs is Mendoza naming names and blaming every single politician she's come into contact with. Honestly, we were waiting for her to name Herbie "Herb Dilla" and the city sticker debacle as having ties to the Illinois Political Combine.
Too bad Vallas doesn't have any financial backing or he would be making some inroads into higher polling numbers.

squeaky Mendoza knows it is over for her mayor run,,, too bad she isn't as smart,
like she plays soccer ,, chico a riser , Mendoza taking the dive
Doesn’t matter. Chicago taxpayers love having crooked scumbags ruling over them. The assholes get caught red handed and still get elected. Take Jabba the Hut for instance. Remember DC’S Mariam Barry? Caught on camera smokin crack with hookers, re-elected.
Pssst!
Hey! Is there STILL going to be a
"Consent Decree" to rein in those
"wild, out of control, racist and
violent" Chicago Cops?
"Put on the back burner"
Dafuk y'all say...
With the current DOJ/FBI orchestrated
Chicago/Cook County/Illinois political
shit-show taking up up a LOT of unintended
public discourse bandwith... Not only any
talk of a CPD consent decree shoved to the
back burner, the vile and stinking contents
of that pot should be unceremoniously dumped
out and marched straight to the garbage.
Loving this shit!
We haven't laughed so hard at a bunch of assholes
since our days of patrolling ABLA, Horner and Rockwell.
They're like a bunch of sixth grade boys tearing
around the schoolyard playing "Shit-On-A-Stick."
>Swish!<
"HAH! Ya missed me!"
>WHAP!<
"Uhhh-WAAAAHHHH!
IT STIIINNNKS!"
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Is Mike Madigan’s law partner married to a retired federal judge?
Vallas got my vote... I voted for him before against tiny dancer...
Mendoza needs to do the job she just got elected into.
How can the electorate be so naive? She just won one office, why go after the Mayor's Office? I am not in Chicago, but if I was, I would not consider her for anything.
Hmm - when you think of it, Preckwinkle is in the same boat. Her soda tax idea should have sunk her from pursuing ANY office. If that is your best shot at economic development and raising revenues, stay out of the race. What new insane taxes is Chicago going to come up with next??
Might as well put in pay toilets everywhere. Require ALL downtown buildings to have pay toilets. Same with O-Hare, Midway, all the libraries, schools. WOW - now that is a great revenue-generating idea. I am qualified to run for Mayor of Chicago. Highly qualified in this field of candidates.
Funny how all these people running also "Have a plan to stop crime", but won't give any details until they get into office. If the plan is so good - let's hear it now, and maybe see it implemented.
How about locking up convicted felons and not let them out a year later on sentences that should be 10-15 years?
Oh little Susie, you'll just have to make do as State Treasurer. One day Gov Jabba may have a grabber and you can be Governor.
Jerry Joyce?
There can be No Doubt, that the latest revelations have clearly hurt Mendoza, more than anyone else. Both Madigan and Burke were Mendoza's Mentors, and she cannot walk away from the hundreds of thousands of dollars they have raised for her various campaigns. Preckwinkle is also damaged, but her base constituency is Identity Race Based,so as the Great Black Hope, no scandal can impact on her core support. Meanwhile, Daley has a War Chest that is greater than any other candidate and he is not tied to Madigan or Burke as his fundraisers or sponsors. There can be no doubt that there will be a run-off; and we may be sentenced to four years of a Daley III. And how is it that our Municipal I.G. and Attorney General Madigan, were consistently unable to identify all of this corruption, and whatever else is produced by all this. Oh, but wait; they were able to root out Implicit Bias by Chicago cops! Chicago is a National Embarrassment. Stay Safe & Strong. Baby "G"
When she looks around and all her “mentors” are under indictment or on fed wire taps - sister, you got a problem. You’’re going down with the ship.
We can only hope that Lisa "haven't found a crime to prosecute in 18 years" Madigan will be able to visit Scum - daddy at the big house. His commissary privileges will be chock full.
Just like spaghetti. Throw it on the wall and see if it sticks.I
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The democrat Criminal Enterprise group has been operating a monopoly in this town for how long? The judges, the aldermens, the state legislature, the governors, the mayors and their cronies are a conspiratorial cabal acting in collusion with absolute power and benefitting through illegal undocumented personal wealth generation schemes.
How about Robert Mueller to investigate this real not made up collusion. This collusion is not made up from silliness like a Clinton campaign opposition dossier, but actual evil doings by monopolistic democrats with lots of actual federal fraud crime violations not the process crimes stuff of perceived lying to the FBI or Congress. Time to enforce the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization ACT. Hey FBI, Make Chicago Great Again!
Maybe Mueller can wrap this up with a SEAL Team 6 modeled raid of Illinois politicians complete with armored trucks, machine guns, black helicopters and a special appearance of McGruff the crime dog. Don't forget to have CNN coincidentally be in the area to get the visual impact to intimidate the masses.
I hope all the Caucasians Mendoza fired start talking!
You know why I’m voting for Mendoza - because she’s got nothing to do with the Daley’s. Vallas, Chico, Joyce, and Daley himself have given this city all of its problems.
Sounds like the usual politics in Chicago.
Time to gut the system. Fire all the aldermen and adjust the ward maps down to twenty
Have it ready in time for next elections
She is another madigan stooge. City hall will soon look like a USA gymnastics meet with all the flipping that will be going on.
Vallas is a phony. He is friends with that piss ant Arena, and Vallas agrees with Arena's forced integration nonsense via multiple buildings for "low income" on the Northwest side.
She doth protestith too much.
I knew this race was going to be a 3 ring circus. I just didn't realize it would feature 14 clowns.
Is it just me or is her voice like nails on chalkboard?
She was told to shut the F... up with the QUARTERS incident and thats exactly what she did!
Go to mendoza's website, she'd love to know what you think......so she can tell you what you want to hear.
I didn’t do nothing!!! Hahahahaha
As that was pointed out before....I wouldn't vote for her JUST because of her ANNOYING voice.....AHHHHHHHHHHHH
This will wnd up being the new “ Operation Greylord”, when it wraps up.
You’re spot on about Vallas SCC.
He should really be climbing in the polls due to this mess but he seems to be stuck in neutral spinning his wheels.
I like Joyce as well but he’s got virtually no chance.
All double talk. Notice there’s no Prickwrinkle in th3 news. No word from her and stayin* out of the limelight.
SEIUSlumTimes won’t chase her background.
I will likely be voting Vallas.
I don’t think he was ever a Machine puppet even though brought in by Shortshanks.
I do believe he was shanghai’d by Shanks when he went overboard on the cutting waste and fraud within the city and CPS.
He’s proven to be a school reformer both on finances and grades through the country.
How many CPS leaders has Rahm had..3-.4 so far?
With Vallas’ background and history why would CPS-CTU want PigWrinkle for Mayor?
Because they don’t want any financial accountability or any added pension contributions.
No Mandozer No Prickwrinkle
Looking over the field of hopefuls, Vallas appears to one of the best for Mayor.
Remember... you are who you hang out with.
Maybe Mueller can wrap this up with a SEAL Team 6 modeled raid of Illinois politicians complete with armored trucks, machine guns, black helicopters and a special appearance of McGruff the crime dog.

Lmfao!!! Mcgruff the crime dog lolololol
"Eating Their Own"
Y'all just keep watchin' these rotten-assed
Chicago/Cook County/Illinois Combine corruptocrats.
They're like a bunch of woodland critters running around
frolicking, fucking, shitting and eating without a fuckin'
care in this world.
Then ol' Federal Eagle swoops down and snatches one up.
Federal Eagle flies away to the nest with the Illinois
Corruptocrat hung up in those razor-sharp talons flailing,
crying and shitting...
"La-La-Laaa..."
>YOINK!<
"WTF? OWWW! LEMME GO!"
>Squirm-Kick-Flail-Shit!<
Ol' Federal Eagle ain't sayin' nothin'...
Just those wings flapping and an occasional
peck to the skull of the flailing Corruptocrat.
"AHHH! LEMME GO!"
>PECK-PECK-PECK!<
"OUCHIE!"
The rest of the Corruptocrats?
Slack-Jawed with fear and terror for the first
time in their mean, stupid, ignorant, cowardly
little lives.
Oh yeah...
"Once we reform The Police, EVERYTHING that's
wrong with Chicago will be fixed finally..."
And they truly believe that.
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.

I hate to say it but I think we’re going to have another mayor Daley. I’d prefer Vallas or even Chico but Daley will win. I guess he’s better than Preckwinkle. She’s the worst person possible for the future of Chicago. It’s too bad they all suck
Maybe the winner will run on the, let's find a way to tax the polar vortex platform. Stay warm offices!!!
But, but, but she's going to stop "Gun Violence" on "Day One"!!
Along with Governor Jelly Belly by clamping down on law abiding gun owners that aren't the problem. But the media weasels will go along with it, since there isn't a brain among the lot of them.
Our Governor was on tape asking to be a Senator, and you think things are gonna change.
Going with Daley. Only person who can beat anti police Preckwinkle

What’s worse than a Daley? A Madigan! All of this states problems come from a Madigan and guess who is a Madigan plant...your hero Mendoza.
Vallas indeed wants low income citywide.
If you looked up “shit show” in the dictionary it’d say see Chicago’s mayoral race.

Only Susana herself could have authored this post.
.....damn, set my tracks on fire, Hollywood,
get those night shots!
6:50 am. You are a moron or fake news . Arena and Prickwrinkle are joined at the hip.
I was born and raised a Catholic.
While I admit I'm not an angel, I try and follow the teachings as best as I can.
But I have to confess that lately I find myself not having any opposition to a post that I read here on SCC as far as those particular politicians are concerned that stated...
"Let them die in prison."
It's a shame that it has come down to this, but it has gone on way too long.
I guess making them suffer hell here on earth is just... 'Penance.'
AMEN
Chico is the most reasonable candidate.
Daley wants to destroy your pension.
Joyce is in it to cockblock McWhiskydick and Vallas, clearing the way for Daley.
Mendoza is done.
Daley is the enemy.
One would think that out of 14 there might one that is not a crook or cop hater. The Machine picked these candidates very carefully to insure there is no way things will be cleaned up in Chicago. Every one would be business as usual in Chicago. The Chicago Way will not go quietly into the night. As long as there money to be extorted from the public treasury the Machine Democrats will be lined up to steal their share.
What will be fun to watch is the aftermath from this election. Everyone will be wringing their hands in wonder that the new Mayor is as bad or possibly worse then the last. Your Democratic vote will insure that outcome. LOL at your consternation.
So to draw new Ward lines you would have to get the Aldermen to approve that. Come on do you really think they would vote themselves out of a job. Won't happen.

Bingo!
Any vote against Mendoza is a vote for Taxwinkle...be smart, vote with your brains not your emotions.
Vallas said he would lighten up the restrictions on garden apartments which a large portion of them are in Maldonado’s ward, not on the NW
Side. Vallas is pissed that Arena’s thugs are taking his yard signs down, he would of attended Jim Gardiner’s fund raiser if it weren’t for a prior commitment, Get you facts straight
Check out what Vallas has proposed
https://capitolfax.com/2019/01/18/rnug-vallas-plan-appears-to-make-chicagos-pension-problem-manageable/?
I agree, Vallas is the most reasonable pick. Too bad he can’t even afford a commercial. Prenckwinkle”s commercials make my blood boil and I’m sure that’s exactly what she wants.
You vallas guys are a joke. All one of you. You’re as bad as Mendoza’s brother jauquin posting in here that her sister is the cleanest in the bunch.
Anyone saying that Daley is the safe play may be right, but that is only if it’s he and Arvid in the runoff. He has flat out said he wants to cut pensions.
Don’t be stupid.
This election is starting to look like a cage match. Lock ‘em in a steel cage and don’t open it until there’s only one left standing.
Where do I buy tickets?
Too bad Tom Dart isn’t running. He’d be a Good Mayor!
Jerry Joyce. Fuck vallas
Vallas voter here

IF DALEY SAYS CLOUT IS DEAD, THEN WHAT'S HAUNTING NAVY PIER?
John Kass
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Aren't you relieved that Mayor Richard Daley banned political clout in Chicago?
Admittedly, I was worried about rampant corruption at City Hall. But since Daley said that clout was finito, we can all relax.
The mayor's anti-clout edict was born at a news conference the other day--after the Tribune broke the wrought iron fence scandal. Daley was so upset, he said he would rather quit than let his political pals influence city contracts.
"I would sooner leave office!" he vowed and he made a stern face. Then he said clout was finished too. He made another stern face. It was truly a stern face.
"I have billions of dollars of work going out," Daley said of city contracts. "None of it can be clouted. They cannot be clouted!"
That was Monday at City Hall. But on Tuesday, a funny thing happened at the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority.
The authority is a board controlled by Daley--it oversees McCormick Place and Navy Pier, and all the contracts and the jobs there. So think of a hog farm at lunchtime.
And on Tuesday, McPier board members gave a juicy contract to Jerry Joyce, son of Daley's top political operative, former state Sen. Jeremiah Joyce. And I mean juicy. It has to be worth millions.
Jeremiah Joyce used his considerable clout--oops, make that smarts--to elect Cook County State's Atty. Dick Devine. Son Jerry Joyce works for Devine as a $79,000-a-year political lobbyist.
But that's not clout. Neither is the new contract. The mayor said so. You wouldn't want to confuse the poor guy, would you?
More than 8 million people visited Navy Pier last year. It's a top tourist spot, with the Ferris wheel and such. Many of those 8 million people get hungry and thirsty. That's where Joyce comes in.
The McPier board allowed Jerry Joyce and a partner to operate The Navy Pier Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream Parlor.
I was at an event for Jerry Joyce on Sunday,about 1200 people showed up
Goofioretti gave $15,000 to felon rod McCullouch who runs the victory research polling company that predicted Fioretti would beat prickwinkle. More to come. Maybe board of elections and others should look into his expenditures. Will be happening soon I bet. Stay tuned.
Jerry Joyce? Have you ever heard the man speak / debate?
In the WGN debate a few weeks back, he sounded like Lionel Hutz. Looked like a deer in headlights against Lori and the others. I know I know, “he’s a good guy from the neighborhood...” yadda yadda yadda.
Paul Vallas is a clear choice, no baggage, intelligent, decent guy. Kids are cops and one is a soldier. He needs the support, because he doesn’t have the cash everyone else has.
Paul Vallas doesn’t have anything to do with idiot Arena...Preckwinkle does!
I like Jerry, but Vallas is the guy we need to focus on...
someone needs to wear a wire against bobby rush. rush has private meetings with top gang leaders. what could they possibly be talking about that is not criminal.
its real simple to know what politicians are corrupt. the same alderman's that are publicly anti police always seem to be the same ones we see in the hood buying drugs, hanging out in drug houses, talking to high ranking gang members. how many times has narcotic/gang/tact officers run into south side alderman staff members at drug houses. c'mon man

Are you kidding? Read up on Mueller as head of the FBI in Boston. He left 4 guys shit in the shithouse for 32 years for a murder he knew they didn't commit. Two of them died there and he's stonewalling attorneys that are trying to get the exculpatory evidence he held that put them there. Mueller is as dirty as the rest of the democratic bunch in DC, don't bullshit yourself.

Joyce's wife is a pediatrician who funded about $800K to his campaign. So your post clearly makes sense, doesn't it? Using your insight, it probably should have read, "hey honey, lets take all our life savings to fund your campaign so you can "cockblock
McWhiskydick and Vallas and clear the way for Daley"
You sir, are a fucking moron.

You have to wonder why anyone would take $800,000 from their savings ,although I doubt a clout heavy lawyer and a pediatrician emptied their whole life savings to fund his campaign. I’m not directing this just to him but most if not all. Do they really feel this is their civic duty
Hard to believe that some actually put in over 100 million dollars for a job that pays under $200,000 or in the case of the mayor $365,000
