Summary
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has barred Jan. 6 rioters from state employment, countering Donald Trump’s mass pardons.
In a directive, Pritzker declared their actions “infamous and disgraceful,” emphasizing that government employees must uphold democratic values.
Trump’s sweeping pardons included Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members convicted of seditious conspiracy.
The move is expected to face legal challenges, but Illinois officials believe the personnel code provides strong legal footing.
Pritzker, a longtime Trump critic, has also opposed other recent federal actions, including a blocked freeze on federal aid.
[while it rains flaming shit] “So I’m not actually sure if this umbrella fully meets IP68 waterproofing standards, so I say we all just stand here and take it until someone can confirm otherwise, beyond a shadow of a doubt”.
You’re here, buddy… It’s happening. You’re waiting for an official red letter to arrive in the mail while the actual notice was tattooed on your forehead months ago. Start throwing every god damn thing you can grab at it, because you don’t know how many levels deep you are in the “first they came for…” this time around.
GRRR ANGRY RESPONSE MISREADING THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE GRRRR!
Buddy - I’m just wondering if it will hold up to challenges. Back the fuck off.
Reach for that high ground all you want, your musing about semantics on the rule of law while the president, his wife, his son, his son’s dipshit friend and the religious grifter who prayed at his inauguration all simultaneously launched and are rug pulling individual memecoins to steal Grandma’s grocery money. Ohh… and concentration camp at Guantanamo.
GRRR WAKE UP.
