Chicago Mayor Lightfoot states she is talking with white house and not getting instructions

[mucifer]

She is at O'hare airport giving a press conference now demanding more federal screeners so they don't have 3,000 people squished together. She says they should leave them on the plane so at least less people are together.

She offered help from EMTs in Chicago to help with screening but the federal gov needs to approve it.

1. He's going to make Chicago "pay"

for running him off during the 2016 election cycle.

2. trump HATES Chicago because we are dems and we brought Prez Obama plus

we have a black lesbian intelligent mayor.

13. But joke is on him and his fans because this is not a Chicago city population all coming in

They will head out to Wisconsin Indiana Missouri etc eventually after mingling for 6-8 hours
Yes of course staying overnight spreading here in the Illinois area but surrounding states should realize what this means people coming home instead of just smirking hmmpf Chicago who cares
Yes it will hurt Chicago chances of containing the virus and city workers are in danger more because of this but in the end it’s like the WW1 soldiers who came back
Yes, they may all come back on the same boat but they all go to their home towns possibly infected after that crowding with people coming in from all points international
I have 2 friends who work at the airport daily

3. State, county, and city governments must take charge of their communities.

No help is coming from the feds.

9. Exactly Right. Do what you know is right and let the Feds be damned.

She should go ahead and send the EMTs. I dare Trump to send the Army or the National Guard to stop them.

[Nature Man]

10. Chicago Police and ISP need to step in

and arrest any Fed that stands in the way.

I know, it's a fantasy and has no actual basis in reality.

4. Do it anyway and let the lawsuits begin.

[Lindsay]

6. Yeah, this may be one of those situations

when it's better to apologize after the fact than to ask permission beforehand.

Peoples' lives are at stake, which matters not at all to Trump and his minions.

5. What advice can you get

From a guy that sounds like a cross between a mob boss and a sanitation worker spouting his ideas about something he does not understand and thinking it to be brilliant? I would look to sane, adult professionals for any advice in this matter.

Oh, and watch out for that guy. He thinks is is a "President" and he seems to be making cameos in videos here and there and going viral. He's just a bad meme. He is often seen with a red campaign hat on and a Depends bulge. Word to the wise. He is a fraud.

7. Fuck the feds. Get those people screened by EMTs and any other qualified personnel.

MF45 is trying to get us all killed.

8. Isn't the Big Orange Turd golfing at one of his resorts at our expense?

He doesn't have time for petty peasant questions!

12. They need to stagger these flights coming into Ohare I also thought about the staying aboard

Our state and city had valid plans set up for a pandemic Now people crowded for 6- 8 hours then and released all under federal control has messed it up big time
