Lightfoot was the former President of the Chicago Police Board and also chair of the Police Accountability Task Force (“created by former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to address Chicago PD’s longstanding issues with racism.”)

After reading that, she honestly sounds mentally unwell. I’ve worked with homeless addicts and people in mental crisis for years, and between her behavior in the video, and the rambling CNN interview, I’m starting to wonder if this was less “racist Karen” and more “psychotic break”.

I call her Fiona Apple Junior.

Eddie Izzard was positively diabolical as Grandpa Munster in Mockingbird Lane, the 2012 reboot of “The Munsters”. It was based more on reality (as much as it can be with a family of monsters) than the 60s sitcom, and was very dark. Warped, even. We loved it.

I’m curious as to how you think our society ‘panders’ to those with mental illness. Are laypeople being too open-minded and considerate? Is this a situation of ‘special snowflakes’ who are making too many demands?

Respect. No happy marriage exists without it.

Totally starring that last sentence. It is fucking exhausting having to be the outlet for my husband’s needs because he’s too scared to make friends.

If she’s in the guest room, she has already left and it’s probably only economic necessity keeping her there.

I’m hoping Biden has a whole stack of executive orders written up and ready to sign on January 21st, with an eviction moratorium at the top of the stack. Throwing people out on the streets in the winter and during a pandemic is fucking depraved. People will die if the government lets this happen.

She is, of course, absolutely right about all this. I just worry about her.
This is all stuff that desperately needs to be said, but the old guard DINOS tend to be vindictive, if nothing else. Look what they do to anyone who dares to question their motives or actions even slightly. Sometimes it’s wiser to be in a more…

great, now add rent relief to the package so i don’t go homeless you goddamn motherfuckers.

I didn’t vote for Lightfoot, but I don’t begrudge her, either She’s seems just as mediocre as the rest. However, I do take issue with this BS. She used to head up the Police Board and was definitely an insider, so even though she may not have been privy to this specific incident, she knew that stupid fuckshit like…

So much wrong here. A shocking amount, really.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

Yikes, this is a pretty gross take in addition to all your others.
