It's 98 F degrees in Illinois True Blue State and I think I might be melting or dying or maybe both. Im in an old usonian shity run by the got dam dummest people on planet earth. Under the stable and forthright leadership of our current Mayor Ed Gein (inherited a funeral parlor lol) he's running the evergreen downtown scam. Thats where they steal all our tax dollars to revitalize the downtown area even tho that pattern has been deprecated for over a 100 years as they built out the city on the outskirts and now the downtown area is a stoopid capitalist mess of one way streets, dead ends and abandoned buildings. In the time I been here the political leadership of the city and county (it's the county seat) has been a stream of knuckle heads. First was Mayor poly sci from the lil librul arts school, then it was Mayor DEI from the DEI office of the third tier Charlie Kirk real estate state school for landlord kids and now it's the far right Mayor Ed Gein. I'm just done.

Hey former Mayor PolySci you fkn goon I know you libs love public private partnerships why don't you open a Poly Sci shop and sell public private Poly Sci? Or even better you could open up a PolySci shop shop. Thats a PolySci shop that sells PolySci shops that sells public private PolySci.

Or you could go all out and open up a PolySci shop shop shop. Thats a PolySci shop shop that sells PolySci shops that sell public private PolySci.

Them: BUT WUT ABOUT A POLYSCI SHOP SHOP SHOP SHOP?

me: you mean a PolySci shop shop shop that sells PolySci shop shops that sells PolySci shops that sell public private PolySci?

Them: INDEED!

me: well that would just be silly

I didn't know that you needed a science degree to be polyamorous

I took a look at his political science class syllabus for last semester and all it says is

GOMMUNISM BAD

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP GOOD

libs have always been the real anti-communists. Conservatives have no ideology and just do smash and grab opportunism. libs take public property and convert to public private partnerships and then either they or the republicans then get rid of the public part in smoke filled back rooms and all we are left with is a privatized hell world. I've watched it happen in this city over a six year period and it just reminds me that at the usa local level we've always had little trumps in charge. It just took a while for the shit to roll up hill.
