#3 The head of the city police, I can see. Mayor gets to make that appointment.

What does an assistant US Attorney have to hide?

#5 blamed racism and her gender for her landslide defeat

Maybe people are beginning to realize that if one does his or her job well, one doesn't need to hide behind discrimination veils to defend one's work results.

#7 She's just envious of Mayor Pete, another incompetent who gets a title but doesn't really work because of adjectival descriptives.

#12 Bee: Lori Lightfoot Blames Election Loss On 'Tricksy Hobbitses'
After suffering a humiliating defeat in Chicago's mayoral election, Lori Lightfoot blamed her stunning loss on "those tricksy hobbitses."

"They stole it from us!!" wailed Ms. Lightfoot. "Nasty, tricksy little hobbitses!!"

The campaign watched the disastrous results come in from a dimly lit sushi restaurant, where the enraged Ms. Lightfoot gorged herself on juicy-sweet raw fish. "Gone!! It's gone, precious!!" cried Ms. Lightfoot to supporters. "Filthy, sneaky hobbitses!! Wicked, tricky, false! Curse them! CURSE THEM!!!"

Long considered the electoral frontrunner, Ms. Lightfoot saw her lead evaporate as supporters became steadily more concerned about being murdered. "I just don't want to die," said local woman Brandi Buckingham. "I can look past a lot with Lori Lightfoot - the eyes, how she walks on all fours, all of it. I just can't look past the whole murder thing. I know she'll take the loss hard, but I really hope she finds a new path forward."

At publishing time, aides for the two campaigns heading to a runoff reported the strange sense that some sort of creature was following them.

#15 Live in the NW suburbs. Used to look for reasons to overnight downtown- concerts, plays etc and would spend around $500 each visit on tickets, dinner and breakfast and hotel. Averaged 3-4 visits a year.
Since she came into office we have been downtown ONCE and it was in the morning for a Prince exhibition. No overnight stay. When “Yutes” started carjacking on Tuesday mornings in front of the old Sears Tower, we were advised by a CFD paramedic to not go downtown anymore.
Nothing to do with your gender or race Bettlejuice… you just suck at your job.

#17 Here is a thoughtful article on the 3 key issues Chicago will need to embrace to reverse course. Before you can go North you must stop going South… probably won’t see it in my lifetime.

#18 Palmer House and dinner at the Sears Tower 95th floor restaurant at sunset, a superb experience, in 1985. Cannot imagine doing it today! Pity.

#19 "Lightfoot blames election loss on racism, gender"

She didn't blame it on her own racism and gender, naturally.

She failed so bad that she'll lose what got her elected, and turn into a single white male.

#21 The crime was getting into the nice places. The numbers don't really matter as long as you can keep the criming confined to certain areas. When the moneyed classes are getting carjacked, there is a problem.
