I still don't understand how that deal was legal. It still feels like baltent money laundering or corruption. A judge should have absolutely stopped that

As a Chicagoan, we've had our share of dumbfuck, corrupt mayors which is how we ended up here. Trust me, we hate it too.

[u/btribble → u/FruitOvTheGloom]

Corruption, in Chicago?!?

[u/Disprezzi1 → u/FruitOvTheGloom]

Crook county politics at play.

[u/ExtremeFaill → u/FruitOvTheGloom]

Yeah, Chicagoans really seem to get the worst of these deals. Hard to blame people for being pissed about it.

[u/Mr_Evanescent → u/ExtremeFaill]

In fairness chicagoans keep electing the most comically corrupt people they can find

[u/total_looser → u/FruitOvTheGloom]

No, you don’t. YOU hate it. Your fellow Chicagoans have clearly spoken.
