Now keep them from running for office

It's easy to forget that there are still Congressional representatives that have class. Too few of them but there are some

They all have criminal records. Should apply to join the Trump administration.

Brilliant leadership. We need to be reminded that States have more power than we think.

Finally an action to go with the words.

I mean, can’t OTHER governors follow in his footsteps? Because I think that’s an interesting turn of events for those people! Yea, The Donald pardoned you, but you can’t get work anywhere in the country for participating in 1/6! Seems fitting, really.

Best governor in the country and just happens to be mine.

riverwalker60.bsky.social•110 days ago

He’s my governor and he’s a really smart & caring guy.

This is how we win.
The locals simply say no.
It is working in some states that have fully blown off ICE as well. Push harder than he'll on your locals if they play along. That is where it all has to count.

Suggest what allies the USA has remaining place the pardoned J6 “patriots”on their respective domestic terrorist lists, thus preventing airline travel … paraphrasing the line from “Men in Black”: keep him (them) on this planet.

dragndust.bsky.social•111 days ago

I would vote for this man for president.

notdontrmp.bsky.social•111 days ago

FINALLY—some accountability! Illinois is saying loud and clear: if you attack democracy, you don’t get to serve the public. Trump can hand out pardons like candy, but real leaders don’t have to accept his corruption. More states should follow suit!

gmuz.bsky.social•111 days ago

He is brilliant, a good man treasure him Illinois.

sgonzalez2020.bsky.social•111 days ago

Trump is attacking those he sees as a threat and with JB being a billionaire democrat governor, he is going after IL hard.

poohiedog.bsky.social•111 days ago

We're also putting their photos behind the cash register at all our gas stations, so no one will take their checks anymore either. 😉 (Actually very proud of JB on this issue and his pushback against the trump regime's illegal/immoral actions.)
