Deadbeat Groot
Anyone actually surprised that someone who was a disaster of a mayor is a disaster throughout life?
[paywalled Tribune article] Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot was sued late last year for unpaid credit card debt, records show.
Lightfoot was served in October at her Chicago home with a lawsuit from JPMorgan Chase Bank for allegedly failing to pay about $11,078 in bills, according to a copy of the complaint filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
The suit says that Lightfoot did not object to the bank’s last statement issued before it declared her debt a charge-off in March. Her last payment on the card was in August 2025, amounting to $5,000, and her next court hearing in the case is in December, according to the complaint.
Through a spokesperson, Lightfoot declined comment on Monday.
Funny how this happened in October, but it didn't hit the media until yesterday. Almost like they're covering for Groot in case she decided to run again. She shouldn't be hurting for cash:
- [Groot has been] serving as a visiting professor at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy as well as teaching at Harvard University and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.
She reported taking out $210,000 in early distributions from retirement accounts that year to supplement her mayoral salary.
While working as a partner at law firm Mayer Brown before becoming mayor, Lightfoot reported an average adjusted gross income of $971,626 from 2014 through 2017.
And speaking of loser mayors, anyone want to call in to this disaster?
- Mayor Brandon Johnson returns to WBEZ 91.5 on Tuesday to answer listener questions live on the morning talk show “In the Loop” with host Sasha-Ann Simons. Listeners can call in at 866-915-WBEZ to present their concerns directly starting at 9 a.m.
A couple ideas for questions:
- have you paid that water bill yet or is does the position of mayor absolve you of pending debt....like Groot?
- is your actual residence in Lombard as rumor has it and not the 015 District pretend address?
- who does your hair?

The current mayor and past mayor couldn’t even pay their own bills. Unreal!
Off topic, I apologize.
The area around IC Church was majorly screwed up today.
Traffic control everywhere.
They were blocking straight and turning right. So I tried turning left....officer stops me....I ask what's going on?
"A Deputy Chief died."
Off duty....curious, why the bug deal....
Simple request, if anyone knows about one of these events, please tell SCC so they can warn us....
This what happens when going thru a divorce? Not uncommon.
There comes a point where it just isn’t a stereotype anymore.
They are both deadbeat con artists who never should have elected in the first place. There was information out there prior to their elections that they were the worst choices. The problem here is the lazy uninformed voters that have no idea of whom to vote for. They wait until they get those glossy mailers from the Democrat Marxist Party. They are just filled with generalized platitudes regarding their magnificent candidates while damning their opposition. You will see the zombie voters clutching these mailers at the polls. And just to be sure at the door of the polling place they will be handed a card by the precient captain just to be sure on who to vote for. The Dems spend millions on this. They could even run a turnip and it would win. The losers are the voters who don't keep up with the scandals, the mismanaged government and the taxes. They ruin it for themselves and everybody else. So the problem
is there are too many of them and not enough voters who are informed.
You cannot shame these low life scumbags.
She finna pay it u think ?
Do you have a street & residence number? I am a retired F/F living in Lombard........ love to welcome him into the town!! I am not looking for trouble but how much it would be to see him come home every night to a nice home in Utopia while all the poor cops, F/F's, & all other city workers have to worry 24/7 angry yutes, people/folk & every other crook shooting them, their houses, their children. Does his CPD Detail follow him or take him home to the Lilac Village? Are there marked CPD Patrol cars in the street & alley?? Or are there just a fleet of blacked out SUV's.
Porky can help! When will the Feds list his status as “ in custody?”

"Who does your hair?" .... Freaking hilarious!!!!! (I'm still laughing as I type)
Have you met your annual insurance deductible for your EDP visits to northwestern hospital yet ??
And this goofy ex mayor still has a security detail? That travels with her when she leaves the city, county or state? But she does not pay her bills?
Ask Johnson, if the mayors of Chicago do not pay outstanding city bills……then why do the city employees have to pay their city bills?
Ask Johnson if it is alright for a police officer to defend themselves if threatened with a knife, gun or motor vehicle? See him sweat on air?
Ask Johnson if he still believes the money spent on illegal immigrants coming to Chicago was fair to the current legal residents of Chicago?
Ask Johnson if after his trips outside of USA (BEARS game) to find new business to come to Chicago. Did any new businesses relocate to Chicago?
Ask Johnson, did any of the businesses that have left Chicago. Notified the City or Mayor prior to them publicly announcing they were moving away? Or did they just sneak out of town?
I can go on!
You can ask. Is your wife and kids really black and do they live in a black neighborhood?
It seams that black democrat politicians think they are exempt from paying utility bills. Let’s see, there is Bobby Rush who couldn’t pay his water bill and rent on an office on 35th St. then we have Lori Lightfoot won’t pay her credit card bill and of course the failed grade school math teacher, Brandon Johnson having a problem with his water bill and parking tickets. What an embarrassment, but not to a democrate, oh and don’t forget the communist CPS leader Stacy Davis Gates failing to pay her water bill in The ghetto of South Bend, IN.
6410 Charlie and 6409 after the pursuit crash , should use the same lawyer that Groot and lurch will be using ,
Father Time has not been kind to the bug-eyed Groot. If she rubbed a little baby powder all over her face she would look just like Uncle Fester.
Typical deadbeat democrat probably living beyond their means. I supported a family of 5 on a patrolman’s salary for years. She made a lot more money than I. Yes I worked OT but still never carried credit card debt or any debt other than a mortgage.
She is like the dogshit you can't get off your shoe
SPECIAL people feel like they don't have to pay.
1 Simple Question...Why are you so fucking stupid?? Answer: DUH
What’s she teaching? What not to do and how to fuck up a city and look like
A fucking moron in the process?
Why does she still have a taxpayer body guard detail?

LMFAO
pay bills,,,that be racist !!!
Does it get anymore ghetto than getting sued over not paying a credit card bill? Not even a minimum payment? How many times do you think Groot has contested a charge so she doesn’t have to pay it?
She just be keepin it real. Bet there are chicken bones under her car seat.
Did you just crawl out from under a rock?? This was discussed last week, and I'm sure it was on local news, social media, etc. Don't hate because someone was well liked and has a big turnout at their funeral "Karen!"
Nah! She's looking more and more like Shrunken Head Dude with the bug eyes from " Beetlejuice "...
Just in case you were wondering why she's running her new
" Icewatch" scam. Trying to hustle up money to pay her fucking credit cards. Next thing you'll see is her standing in traffic by an intersection with a bucket and and a sign raising money for the local " little league". If it doesn't work she can always keep her bucket and invest in a couple of drumsticks. Baseball season is only a couple of months away...
And the president of the CTU as well
shaduppppp, you big dmmyyyyyyy
Talk to the Lombard cops, they would probably know... I'm sure his "motorcade" blows through stoplights and signs to get him to his barber...

Now if someone put one of those fire hydrant sprinkler heads on a hydrant and pointed it at his house during an article cold snap?
And Hawkins
And yet “we the people” handed them the city checkbook. Is ANYONE surprised that the budget is a disaster?
Warn you? Or give you the dirt?
That's why we have admin try reading it next time clown. And have some respect next time.
There were major negative clues in 2008 too.
What’s going on with Lori Lightfoot and her credit card debt? So no effort to write a check to clear the debt? Is Miss Lori on the skids?
OK hater, not because a Deputy Chief, but because of a high turnout that needed traffic control…no different if an ordinary person died and they knew their would be a large crowd they would have crowd control
Ask BJ if his dick is bigger than bug eyes..oh wait he has a p----! Nevermind.
can you imagine how fast they'd burn through those reparations?
Life is good on the Political Plantation - especially of the taxpayer is footing the bill.
Did she divorce Herman Munster?! Guess all those royalty checks couldn't cover her male pattern baldness treatments.
Her natural ash should suffice.
Oh boy anymore 1st world problems we can help you solve today.
Let me guess they drive raised up Jeeps, punisher sticker in rear window, lift in park ridge, talk about getting heads while lifting in park ridge, purchase obey clothing , hang out at entrances and exits in CPD buildings to garner attention. Those guys ?
Isn’t there a Brandon Johnson Jr. playing for the Glenbard East bball team?
Brandon Johnson, playing bbal for Glenbard East, class of 2026, number 5
well, if it looks like dog doo, smells like dog doo and acts like dog doo,,, then it must be
Delusion #1 is that ballots cast and counted are the same as voters voting for their chosen candidates.
Delusion #2 is that ballots cast equals ballots counted.
Delusion #3 is that any election can be intrinsicly honest absent those conducting said election being thoroughly honest themselves.
With the lightbulb shining brightly?
OT but there is a real class act by bears coach Benji Johnson. What a FOOL! Shakes hands with Coach of LeFleur of GB like a quick dead fish after game and then runs into locker room and throws the F bomb around on national tv against GB. Lucky they won that game and half the others all season. Benjamin a real FOOL! Keep putting play card in front of your ugly face and go on every 4th down and 19 from your owe 32 yd line. What a dick. And keep your shirt on Beni. Not good pudding head fuckstick. True disgrace to Chicago. Use some class and be a man. Sure your wife and kids and family will be embarrassed someday.
Don't they know she's a black lesbian woman, she's a triple threat so go pound sand if you want your money.
Off topic but does anyone know what number they are at for LT promotion? Anyone know what number they will get to off the current list? I am hearing all different things and different numbers.
It is an open secret that Mayor 6% has a house in Lombard - why hasn't anyone followed up and publish a picture of the Mayoral Mansion in DuPage County?
She’s starting a Go Fund Me account. 🥺
So let me get this straight ( no pun intended Lori)...a multimillionaire ex mayor of the third largest city in the country, and Harvard instructor, married to a well off woman; is a paid Harvard instructor; has campaign cash; has pensions from her mayoral, police board, and OPS stints, and... a paid investigator gig into Dolton's mayor for FINANCIAL MISCONDUCT...could'nt pay a 11k bill?
Where did all of that cash go to? Her beauticians, or Modelos????
Next to the chicken bones is an empty pint of “bumpy face”(Seagrams Gin) and an empty pack of “ what I ams” (Kool Cigarettes). Now if you recognize those slang phrases you’re not only old , but you’ve also spent too much time in the ghetto.
Then over here, getting ready to pay more taxes because the Democrats refused to obey the law. Sickening.

Did all those people she promoted offer her any money 🤑 to pay her bills❓🤔🧐
Shut up stroke. You must be one of people who are "from" Chicago but are Green Bay fans because they are obnoxious.
Ugly, arrogant and entitled - Larry Leadfoot
one thing for sure groot does'nt spend money on makeup or haircare teeeeeee heeeeeeee
as always you can't fix stupid it's forever teeeeeee heeeeeee
Does Groot, BJ, and Stacey have beeping smoke alarms in their houses as well?
A 65 million dollar stroke! The GB coach did it to him in an earlier game. Pay backs a bitch.
well, for 1,, screw the nfl and nba,,, so who cares what that coach or that other dip wad steve kerr says
Through a spokesperson, Lightfoot declined comment. She has a spokesperson? What is it with the black mayors. Harold Washington didn't pay his taxes, Conehead didn't pay his bills and now groot. Coincidence or lifestyle.
Did you see the first game with the Bears that Greenbay won? At the end of the game Johnson went out to shake hands and he got the fly by from Leflir. He's doing nothing but returning the favor.
Where is Pam Bondi? She can’t find low hanging fruit like this for prosecution for something? Debtors prison for this pig. She has a new grift researching ICE for prosecution when commies retake power.
Kools and Colt 45 You have to work at looking like her.
They have been getting reparations since LBJ’s Great Society Act, add in affirmative action, they have been taken care of from cradle to grave and it still isn’t enough. They still have to steal, defraud, and refuse to pay their bills. What a curse on the nation.
Anyone from 015 TAC who went to the robbery team is a fucking imbecile. Same with the 025 rejects and that rehire fuck. Leave before you take everyone down with you.
Shut up both of you sell outs.
The nfl HATES law enforcement, this means YOU!
The section 8 mayors always can't pay their bills.
I heard rumors that the “Missus” liked to hit on other attorneys at parties.
It’s either rented or under a LLC bc you could likely find it doing a basic property search.
Remember when Groot said water is a human right??
Now we know why BJ never paid his water bill
yep
all the former mayors do....
You must have forgotten about all of the bad and negative comments made by Green Bay over the years ? Trash talk is part of the game/
It actually appeared to be quite the funeral with the honor guard and all. As a retired PO can I get the same type of funeral? I think I was pretty well liked.
Money spent on illegals? Did you see the line item of the new budget that shows money for "New Arrivals" $2,000,000. He's planning to keep spending on them.
Yeah, not yours!
You're just racist. :)
Could run a turnip? They did. Remember John Stroger...
She’s took a page out of JCat’s playbook. Look up all his credit card lawsuits. They are made for each other. Another deadbeat looser.
Tru dat
