@AlleyKilborn @tmacbuckalew Met Dave a long time ago at the Sunflower Festival and we became friends and ran into each other at many fests and other shows over the years. He attended every single Blues symposia that we held at Dominican University over the years. A great guy and supporter of the music.
@highbrow_nobrow@SawyerHackett And what faith tradition might that be? Trump rarely attended any church services when he was president. Except if you count his religious devotion to teeing off at his golf courses.
This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.
Liberal Janet Protasiewicz wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Brandon Johnson beats (the Republican posing as a Democrat) Paul Vallas for mayor of Chicago, and, oh yeah, guess who got arraigned on 34 felony counts. Overall, not a bad day at all!
@mikeklonsky Are you surprised? He was on Phil Rock's staff when he was Senate President at the same time Durbin was 1st elected to Congress. They have history in Il. Dem politics—Vallas was the party choice but lost to Blago in 2002 Primary and ran with Quinn in 2014 in loss to Rauner.
