Conehead's Bad Few Weeks

It must be rough, having an approval rating hovering around 14% and even your voting base hates what you've done to their communities:

• Ahead of a Chicago City Council vote unanimously rejecting Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed $300 million property tax hike, local residents addressed the council and the mayor, criticizing Johnson to his face over trying to raise taxes while catering to illegal immigrants.

  Among these angry locals were several supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, who, while wearing MAGA gear, gloated about how Trump’s victory means Johnson’s liberal policies – particularly those assisting illegal immigrants – will face a reckoning. 

  “The feds need to address you! The DOJ needs to address you! And hopefully Donald Trump will address you, because you’re gonna protect the undocumented, while you’re gonna allow for the citizens in Chicago suffer under your, what? Three percent?” Chicago resident Tyjuan Sims told the mayor on Thursday night.

  Clips of the council meeting can be viewed here.

Some people are unhappy at the "redistribution" of taxpayer money they consider theirs for whatever reason. But even more are just plain unhappy with unfulfilled promises and being exploited and lied to for years. 

Democrats have run Chicago for over one-hundred years and there hasn't been a citywide Republican office holder (even an aldercreature) since that alcohol challenged individual left office over a decade ago. And now they're waking up.

Conehead is lashing out at a reporter because he can't confront his (shrinking) base:

• As reporter William J Kelly pressed Brandon Johnson on his prioritization of migrants, the mayor demanded he call his wife ‘first lady’.

Kelly has a knack for triggering Conehead, but this is just bizarre. Kelly calls Mrs Conehead by her given name (Stacie) and Conehead gets bent out of shape. As we recall the mayoral ballot, Stacie wasn't on it, Stacie didn't run for anything and Stacie just got nearly $100K in office furnishings for an spot she wasn't elected to. "First Lady" is also a term we don't recall being used for anyone except the wife of the President, not the mayor of a dying city with a 14% approval rating.

Stacie Stacie Stacie.
