Chicago mayor sends 'call to arms' over Supreme Court
[Washington Examiner] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot set social media ablaze Monday evening with a "call to arms" in response to an impending ruling from the Supreme Court.
the Picnic Ant Lady (as B calls her, LOL)
Pegged as incitement by critics, a warning was sent by the Democrat about how gay rights could be next after a leaked draft opinion signaled a crackdown on abortion access.

"To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community — the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms," Lightfoot said in a brief and now viral Twitter thread. "We will not surrender our rights without a fight — a fight to victory!" Lightfoot added.

#1  Chicago is obviously already armed. Lightfoot is simply attempting to redirect the fire.

#5  Chiraq is already armed and killing their own so being an 'oasis' for more killing kinda makes sense.

#6  #1 I don't know B, having a forward observer like Mayor Beetlejuice there is akin to calling for Final Protective Fires and getting leaflet rounds in response.

#7  WTF is Lightfoot's worry? Even if she were straight...
Posted by: Rob Crawford || 05/10/2022 8:39 Comments || Top||

#8 
Her warning is right up there with used Kitty Litter.

How does Chicago Mayor Lightfoot know what the SCOTUS has planned? Does she have a Girl Friend clerking at the SCOTUS?

#11  Yes but when the Chicago rebels surge out of Chicago into rural Illinois, they will learn the difference between thug shooting and rural shooting. It won't be pretty.
Posted by: Silentbrick || 05/10/2022 10:48 Comments || Top||

#12  "Chicago rebels surge out of Chicago into rural Illinois" as if they could cross I-80 & the always-under-construction access roads serving as a barrier between Chicago and rural Illinois. Truckers would turn them into roadkill.

#13  I think that many Americans are willing to challenge one particular gay right, the right to indoctrination.
Posted by: Super Hose || 05/10/2022 11:51 Comments || Top||

#14  I understood that during the George Floyd riots, the Chicago rioters stopped dead at the Cicero town line. Cicero is apparently under the control of the Latin Kings, who did not want their property destroyed. A good example to follow.
Posted by: Tom || 05/10/2022 12:39 Comments || Top||

#15  I understand there were many no-go lines they were stopped at. Basically, they operated where nobody was allowed a counter-force.

One of the funniest videos I saw was in LA (I believe) with a Crip (likely) chasing off some Blamtifa like a scene in Gran Torino.

#16  You would think the one group in AMERICA the least impacted by abortion law would be the gays

Government Corruption
White House watch: OKing SCOTUS Intimidation
[NYPOST] "The Biden White House doesn’t seem to care that angry mobs have gone to the homes of six conservative Supreme Court justices to protest the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade," thunders Joe Concha at The Hill. The lefty group Ruth Sent Us published the addresses of six justices, including several with "children at home." Pushed on whether that’s "extreme," Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama...
replied, "I don’t have an official US government position on where people protest." Federal law prohibits "pickets or parades" with "intent of influencing any judge" if it’s "in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge." Says Concha: "Perhaps another news hound in the daily briefing can circle back on this": "By not condemning it," Team Biden is "tacitly approving the intimidation of justices at their homes."

#1  If any ill effects are experienced by SC justices or their families from these illegal protests without legal actions from the DOJ/FBI/etc, IMNSHO, Biden will have committed a "high crime or misdemeanor" as mentioned in Article II, section 4 of the US Constitution simply by the failure to act of the Executive Branch. Not that the Left gives a damn about the Constitution, though.

#5  Betcha the moment protestors show up at the Lefty Justice's houses, the Federal Bureau of Idiots will swoop in instantly.

They are failing to understand that a 2 tiered Justice system will very quickly turn into a 3 tier one, one for 'elites', one for the rabble, and one for the pissed off rabble who are done with the courts and police and will handle things....biblically.

#6  It would be fun to get some tee-shirted counter protests together. We could call the group Smith and Wesson Sent Us.
Posted by: Super Hose || 05/10/2022 11:57 Comments || Top||

#7  My undisclosed location will be either in Golden Corral, Waffle House or Akron, OH. There is too much inherent violence in all three locations for lib Antifa-types to seek me out. Most of Akron looks like the abandoned Richmond dock area in Dirty Harry. It will spook them out.

#8  Pushed on whether that’s "extreme," Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki replied, "I don’t have an official US government position on where people protest."

Lying bitch. Of course she has a position. She and Biden want the angry mobs to do exactly what they're doing.

#10  Not even the professional courtesy to pretend to.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 05/10/2022 12:24 Comments || Top||

#11  Don't you have to have a permit supposedly to protest? Just saying, or how about disturbing the peace. Disorderly conduct, I got that charge for saying bullshit in my own house. Or just shoot the fuckers and take it to court, I have a feeling the justices know some people who would take their case.

Dems Ditch COVID Funds To Rush $40 Billion To Ukraine
[ZERO] Congressional Democrats are rushing forward to whip up $39.8 billion in additional Ukraine aid, after agreeing to drop a a proposal for additional COVID-19 related funding they planned to combine.

#12  I know Elenskyy is so hot right now U2 shows up at his concerts. So hot.

War Powers Resolution calls for affirmation within some 60 days of actively participating in a war zone. I see calls for No-Fly Zone March 1. Calls for financial, RPG, tanks, Special Ops all at the same time frame.

I know the neocon: generations are trying to keep their laundry mats open, and the Satraps of McConnell are trying to scare normal people into thinking the dismissal of RvW will usher in an era of knee stapling and kitchen cuffing - strangely in line with the dusting off of the sadmaiden costumes eh?

Just saying, open that other front and have them sign their names on $40billion dollars marked for Covid relief, such as maintaining the grocery infrastructure so baby formula can make it to the shelves instead of going.....where, exactly? Gonna defend selling missiles to the IMC at the cost of starving babies?

MSNBC Guest Wants To ‘Make Sweet Love’ And ‘Joyfully Abort’ Baby With SCOTUS Leaker
[DAILYCALLER] MSNBC guest Laurie Kilmartin said Sunday that she wants to "make sweet love" to whoever leaked the Supreme Court draft opinion on Roe v. Wade and that she would "joyfully abort the baby."

Kilmartin shared her comments on MSNBC’s "Ayman Mohyeldin Reports" in a clip shared on Twitter. The guest panel was discussing the leaked SCOTUS draft opinion that favored overturning Roe v. Wade, returning the rights on child sacrifice abortion laws to each of the 50 states.
