Wheels Coming Off the Groot Train?

  • Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s communications director has resigned less than three months into the administration, making her the first high-ranking City Hall departure of Lightfoot’s term. After Lightfoot won the April 2 election, she chose Marielle Sainvilus to be her transition team’s communications director.

    A former Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman under Mayor Rahm Emanuel and University of Chicago director of public affairs, Sainvilus kept the communications director role at City Hall.

    [...] The administration’s press team has been criticized by some local media outlets for not being quick enough in responding to reporters’ inquiries.
That's because there is no coherent message. Groot was a shallow candidate, which we thought was an asset, because a weak mayor / strong city council would be a good dynamic after years of strong(er) mayors.

But then the federal indictments started dropping, aldercreatures were wearing wires or getting caught on wires, resigning and snitching at an unprecedented rate, and suddenly, a weak mayor with no message and a city council hunkered in their bunkers was in play.

It hasn't ended, not by any stretch.

It only took this dwarf a couple of weeks to show her SJW/LGBTQ, anti man, police hating, anti capitalist/anti working person/anti common sense, stripes. Anything she does now will not be a surprise, she's over her head and clueless. Just because you got a law degree and won an election doesn't necessarily make you an expert at anything, even if you think it does.

Imagine if good people of strong character who worked hard and built businesses took time out of their lives to run the government. Just 4 years out of their lives to make the world a better place.
Politics was not supposed to be a career in the USA. The weak and wicked have seized power because the strong and smart have ignored their civic duties.
We the people need to enact term limits and put an end to gerrymandering & family dynasties .

Going to be a long, disastrous four years.

That flickering light you think you see at the far end of the tunnel? It will be the city burning from Incompetence and Vacillation by your leadership after they tried pandering to a racist criminal mob. You almost had it after JVD, with Krimesha and Groot in charge it will happen in the next few years.

That picture of her in tribe walking with a normal sized person was priceless. She finds herself in the land of the giants with no ladder. Even her oversized Neapolitan complex personality will not save her. Next communications director would be well served to wire her mouth shut. Every tome midget open her mouth she proves how stupid she really is. All the degrees in the world are no replacement for good old fashion common sense of which she is severely lacking.

The new guy, Michael Crowley of Daley’s after school matters and appointed by Rahm is another lgbtq warrior who volunteers at radical progressive Equality Illinois. Loris anti straight, anti cop, anti white, anti disabled racism must be stopped. Qualified, educated white or disabled people who apply for jobs or who ask for help from Lori and her staff are totally ignored. It won’t be long until the federal discrimination charges begin naming her and her largely appointed Rahm staff and her uneducated, lgbtq, progressive affirmative action hires.

The Democrat super majority are going to drive more people out of Illinois with their terrible policies. I haven’t put gas in my car in illinois since the tax doubled. I’m up near Wisconsin every weekend and fill up. Was just on vacation and gas in Tennessee was 2.06 Gas in Florida was 2.15. Illinois is such a mess.

Groot is out of her depth in a parking lot puddle. I suspect that anyone on her staff with enough sense to come in out of the cold will be leaving BEFORE her wheel-less wagon hurtles over the cliff.

Groot is nothing more than the sum total of her hatred - she hates men, white people, police, Republicans and heterosexuals. She sees her tenure as mayor as her chance to “get even” with all the groups she hates, no matter what that does to the city.

At this point, with the Democrat Machine running amok, we would be better off if the next mayor was chosen at random from a list of registered voters (the live ones, not the ones residing in cemeteries). That way, we’d have a better chance of getting a mayor who would serve the city instead of their own narrow political agenda.

Groot has been in office less than five months and has demonstrated her lack of experience, leadership, unity and trust building with the citizens of Chicago. The impish lady from Ohio was never really prepared to hold a political office, let alone being the Mayor of Chicago.

Her early experience as a City Hall clout baby, the "Chief" of Rahm's Kangaroo Courts like IPRA, COPA, and working as a lack luster federal prosecutor is nice work if you can get it. Apparently all this good stuff is not helping her to be mayor of the second largest (soon to be the third largest city) in the nation. She is drowning in the Democratic swill and corruption left behind by the likes of Rahm and the Daley's.

If you consider her own poor decision and policy making skills, overburdening taxation, rampant public safety issues and her openly biased, prejudice, intemperate behavior (against police/FOP, north/northwest side residents) you begin to see failure on the horizon. Lastly, add her socialist leanings to the mix and what you now have is a "tin pot mayor" masquerading as a reformer.

She cleverly moves the deck chairs on the Titanic and calls it reform. The media buys and sells us the reform. All the while she is planning massive and punishing tax initiatives on Chicagoans in order to continue to keep the Machine happy and pay for her socialist agenda. She is the cause of the great migration heading out of town. It's the Chicago Way.

Remember, she said she was going to ASK the taxpayers for money:

"no question that we’re gonna have to come to the taxpayers and ask for additional revenue"

I don't expect any taxes/fees to go up, because i'm sure when ASKED, the taxpayers will say "NO--taxes are high enough!"

The founding fathers never envisioned politics to be a full time job. The intent was leave the farm or whatever your station in life was, serve a few years, and go back to your former life. Now we have a monarchy with political office being handed down, families with generations working in government holding political offices, politicians jumping from one political office to another, never knowing what it is like to work a private sector job. Look at the Bushes, Daleys, Lipinskis, Madigans, Clintons, please not another Obama though, I dont think we'd survive Big Mike in office.
A lifetime in politics casuse one to lose perspective of the real world, and may make some susceptible to becoming corrupt. They aren't going to give up the addicting power that easily, I'm afraid they will have to removed from office, either through term limits, or fed up citizens storming the Bastille, removing them forcibly.

Beg to differ my friend but when you have a degree in urban studies the idea of $150K salary,city car and wearing a suit to work to bob your head like a hooker as the boss speaks will have many stick around.She will have a waiting line of replacements also.These bust out, silly college degree,lazy socialist types love government work,nice money while you help bring the country down from within.Her staff will be full of socialists and somebodies somebody sent at all times...nice work if you can get it.

Lori will be a despised more than Rahm was in a much shorter time. Rahm conned the media and the general public with deceit and deception. He is just a slippery thief and corruptor in a three piece suit.

Lori is a bungler and socialist. She is vindictive, prejudicial, angry, seeks retribution for perceived ills, and seeks the distribution of our accumulated wealth. As Mayor, she thinks ramming through $1B of taxes is going to sit well with us because she's Lori the reformer. It's for the people and social programs. It's for needed services for the Community, for our Sanctuary City and the children, social and restorative justice, for education, for the schools.

What Groot doesn't remember is Rahm already used that line of bullshit before. Groot thinks her brand of deception will work equally well under her socialist reform agenda.

The imp will present her billion dollar tax plan as the IOU that some how we owe and have to replenish the city for the thievery done by the Daley's and Rahm. And if we balk, she'll threaten to cut city services and pay cuts for the police.

Madame Mayor please stand up on your toes and stretch as high as you can and Kiss My Ass.
