Said the rotund Illinois Governor Jay Pritzker, quoted in "Pritzker responds to Trump’s weight comments: 'It takes one to know one'" (The Hill).
This forces me to look up what Trump said, which would otherwise have been erased from my brain (if it was ever there). Let's see... here: "We will solve Chicago within one week — maybe less.... Chicago's a disaster and the governor of Illinois should say, 'President, will you do us the honor of cleaning up our city? We need help.' They need help. They need help... We may wait -- we may or we may not. We may just go in and do it, which is probably what we should do.... I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians. The bad politicians, like a guy like Pritzker. He ought to spend more time in the gym actually, the guy is a disaster."

The more people learn about Pritzker the more people will register to vote Republican. He is truly a vile person who inspires absolute revulsion in and decent person.
It was his family that was the primary funding behind the trans movement.
Pritzker is a disaster and an accessory before the fact. Trump is writing affirmatively and not in denial of his own oval facade, so the counterattack is rendered impotent.
"He’s the kind of bully that throws invectives at people, because he knows that what he’s saying is actually commentary on himself." He said while throwing invectives at Trump.
I am rubber; you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you!
Trump could have left that last part off - and it would be perfection.
Most people don't know who he is, but my wife refers to him as, "that fat guy from Illinois"
J.B. bears a striking resemblance to Jabba the Hutt. Neither one of these guys should be talking "fat" to the other. But I have to say the scales are tipped way in favor of Jabba--weight wise that is.
I have seen Trump play golf in the last year and he is still surprisingly good. He can beat most golfers 50 years younger than him. Picking on someone's weight problem is still awfully childish. Bad manners.
In 10 years, obesity will be much less common due to the coming development of ever more effective weight loss drugs. With the right prescription, Pritzker could lose 40 pounds within the year. Pritzker's main problem isn't his weight. It's his role in the leadership of the Destructionist Party.
Prtizker is supposedly 5-9 and weights 240. He's a tub of lard. He's 60. He's like Nadler, a weird land whale. Trump is almost 80. He's 6-2 and weighs 240. Trump was a Baseball star in HS. Pritzker has always been a Fatso.
Only a goofball weirdo state like Illinois would elect someone like Pritzker. But then, all they care about is Graft.
Some wag has renamed J. B. Pritzker as "J. B. Back Ribs." His cousin John renamed himself Jennifer, a few years back; he resembles J. B., but with lipstick and long hair. Lots of the family's money goes into supporting the sex-change fantasy.
Trump sometimes veers into Apprentice Contestant mode and it goes wrong, not charming.
It seems the last part is designed to elicit a response...and there you have it. Rather than respond to the substance of the argument, they just have to respond to the name calling.
Going to the gym is advice my doctor gave me. Maybe it is Pritzker’s fragile masculinity that prevents him from accepting such advice.
Living by liberal license has a boomerang effect.
..my favorite comeback was the fat NFL coach- maybe Bum Phillips? who said he was hurt by the criticism of his weight ‘I thought I was lookin’ good!’
Pritzker is one of the hereditary lordlings of Illinois.
Actually, a gym would be counter-productive for JB, he needs Ozempic. And then multiple sessions with a nutritionist. He's probably diabetic.
Why do Democrat Governors get to lie with impunity?
I would say also that his personal attacks on me are just evidence of a guy who’s still living in fifth grade.
Dial 1-800-WAAAAAAH
75% of all homicide victims in Chicago are black. Another 20% are hispanic. Murder rate is 21% for 2024.
If the governor and mayor won't lift a finger to stop the killings, who should? Or, perhaps nobody should? They are just blacks and hispanics and their lives don't really matter, do they?
It was oh so chic for a while to say they mattered but that was just a question of fashion and it no longer seems to be fashionable.
The people demonstrating in favor of murder all seem to be white and from out of town or at least out of the danger areas. Only about 5% of Chicago murders are of whites so not their problem.

I looked this up and AI says some people "lack an inner monologue" : "Yes, some people genuinely lack an inner monologue, meaning they don't experience a constant, internal stream of self-talk. Estimates suggest that a significant portion of the population, potentially between 30% and 50%, have an inner monologue, while a smaller percentage, around 5% to 10%, report not having one. This lack of inner speech doesn't necessarily mean a complete absence of thought, as people may think in other ways, such as through visual imagery or concepts."
YouTube interview with someone who says she lacks an inner monologue.
I don't believe Trump lacks an inner monologue; if he did it would have been discovered by now.
Maybe what we have is just Trump always striving to be a fantasy of himself. I liked this clip so much I posted it here twice before and now this is the third time. It rings very true while giving Uber rides to groups of people going to events, there is almost always someone trying very hard.
Someone ought to gather a dozen or two marchers, put Klan robes and hoods on them and join in these pro-murder rallies. They could carry signs duplicating the signs of the AWFL marchers and, when asked, say things along the line of "We support anything to reduce the black population and are marching in solidarity with our brothers.
Would it be overegging the pudding to carry Democrat Party signs? Perhaps "Pritzger for Pretzedent '28" and such?
For a bonus, have some folks show up in black Italian Fascist Party uniforms. Maybe some brownshirts with swastikas.
Alinsky had the right idea, folks who oppose murder should borrow his playbook.
John Henry
In any event he is not going in. He is just trolling them and they are responding terrifically. They are identifying themselves as being in favor of black murders. That will make some great campaign material next year.
John Henry
The Pritzker family IS PURE EVIL.

Being fat and out of shape should be shamed. There is nothing good or polite about allowing people to destroy themselves with metabolic disease. Nobody is truly happy about being fat and not only do they destroy themselves they tend to destroy the people around them.
The hardest people to help lose weight are those that are surrounded by fat friends and family members. This is something that can only be fixed at the tribal and societal level.
There should be a tax on body fat percentages. The costs of being fat to society are easily measurable.

This wasn't a gratuitous insult, it was a commentary on Pritzker's management of his affairs, suggesting that his personal lack of management carries over into his management of Chicago/Illinois, which is a reasonable point.
Trump should call J.B. Pritzker "Lb. Pritzker."
If Lb. really has designs on the WH, he really SHOULD lose the weight.
President Taft Is Stuck in the Bath
"It takes one to know one, on the weight question.“
Really? I can tell just by looking. I must have good fatdar or something.
John Henry, did you see the Democrats holding Jim Crow signs in Maryland telling the black Lt. Gov that she couldn't use a water fountain for whites?
There goes my math bump again,,,
"Estimates suggest that a significant portion of the population, potentially between 30% and 50%, have an inner monologue, while a smaller percentage, around 5% to 10%, report not having one."
So, using upper levels, fifty % have it. Ten % don't.
That leaves 40%.... Do they have an inner voice operating part time? I COULD assume that by the term, "...constant...". But it's hard to believe up to half of people have a CONSTANT stream. I'd have to scream at myself, "Shut up, Shut Up. SHUT UP!!!!!" Or does it speak in an unknown tongue? Or use sign language?
Ain't buying it from such a sloppy AI spew.
All these women who vote Democrat are not going to be happy with Pritzker. That sex fantasy is never going to fly.
I think it's going to be AOC-Newsom in 2028.

Yes I did and reposted it on Bluesky. Then laughed my ass off as several people tried to defend it.
Then, when the VA Democrat party officially denounced the sign a couple days later I posted the denunciation and had another hearty laugh.
I don't know why people mock Bluesky. It is a wonderful site. Loads of fun people. They are not trying to be fun but they are.
The past few days asking people why they support murder of blacks has been entertaining.
If on Bluesky, follow me and join in the fun. I am @jimmy3jay
John Henry
It is also entertaining to defend myself against charges by pointing out that, although I am even whiter than Casper's ghost, I am officially a "Person of Color", by their rules and, also by their rules, as a POC CANNOT be racist.
Seems to cause some buzzing in their synapses or something.
ahhhh... the simple pleasures of life are the best.

If Pritzker is claiming to be 240, he should probably put his other leg on the scale. I was in the 300-lb. neighborhood for a number of years and I wasn't as heavy as Pritzker is now. It's difficult to lose weight, but I've lost about 80 pounds from my peak and have mostly kept it off, without using Ozempic I might add. I am diabetic and that forced the issue, but it can be done. Losing weight won't make him a less loathsome individual, but it will likely prevent him from keeling over in the next 3-5 years.
What do fat people invariably do when they have a fat friend who starts trying to lose weight?
These people should not be humored or enabled.
Picking on someone's weight is childish? Actually, maybe. If you're just an average schlub, yes. If you want to be a political leader? no.
No one asked JB Fatman Prtizeker to run for politcal office. He decided to run and say "Vote for me, let me be your leader. And not vote for that other guy, he's not good enough".
If you want to be our leader, to run a state, be a Senator, to "represent the people", we have every right to demand you not look like a land whale. Because if you can't discipline yourself and not stuff your face with that 10th doughnut, maybe you shouldnt be given the power to run the state of Illinois or be POTUS.
Again, its not like there's a shortage of people who want to be in powerful positions and "represent the people". If you demand we give the position to you, then you'd better be able to take some personal attacks.
As Truman said, "if you cant stand the heat, stay outta the Kitchen".
Taft only got elected because (1) women couldn't vote (2) there was no TV and (3) Teddy Roosevelt gave him the job.
Taft was a disaster as POTUS. He was defeated after one term. He later became Chief Justice of SCOTUS. Where the black robes hide everything.
Pritzker, am I the only one who cant resist calling him Prickster? Anyone I"m sure JB can stand the heat, and stay in the kitchen. Probably to eat all the food.
Last comment. There are lots of "fat men" who are fat through not fault of their own. Their metabolism (sic) is screwed up. Either they're always hungry and have to eat more, or their body just doesn't burn up calories at the normal rate.
I doubt JB Prickster is one of those.
What I noticed was how much Pritzker’s head resembles Fred Flintstone’s, especially in side view. Yabba, Dabba, Doo!
The Illinois Dem party is as bloated with stolen representation as JB is with excess fat. In the last election, the Dems won 52.7 % of the vote v. 46.9 for the Republicans but the Dems took 14 seats v. 3 for the Republicans. This was caused by intensive gerrymandering. It's so bad that the Dems ought to give a Representation Acknowledgement before they are sworn in just as some give a Land Acknowledgement. "I would like to acknowledge that my success has taken Republican representation from traditional Republican areas and given it to Dems but I also acknowledge that we Dems are better in all ways, and not just at cheating, so it's OK."
And now (picture Pritzker stuffing down three donuts at once), Illinois wants to redistrict so as to take away the last three Republican seats. Well, fascists have no rights while overstuffed Dems get extra blessings.
In states where representation has been gerrymandered away, I think the unrepresented areas should secede and form a more perfect union with states willing to let their Republican residents be represented. Those states would gain Representatives and have more clout.
MAHA goes a long way to MAAA and MAVA.
Pritzker needs to mitigate progress and take steps toward Baby Lives Matter (BLM) and black lives, too.
Pritzker needs to deflect and distract. Illinois and Chicago - in particular - are and have been disasters for a number of years.
Does Pritzker Play in Peoria?
I don't know why people mock Bluesky.
For the same reason I don't need to step in dog shit to know it stinks.

***********
We on the right used to jeer at Biden fans who explained away his many gaffs and rudeness as "Just Joe being Joe".
So we might just have to admit that Trump can sometimes be inexcusably rude, petulant and childish---while at the same time being the greatest POTUS of our lifetime.
Blue and polluted sky. Water vapor is a first-order greenhouse gas forcing catastrophic anthropogenic climate change. Ironic or Karma-lic?
Did anybody whine about all of the fat jokes directed at Chris Christie? Seems like it's pretty much open season to me.
Pritzker completely blows past the point of the article and picks on a side note so he can avoid the argument. Democrat propaganda methods 101.
Pritzker was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But he quickly learned it was removable He's put it to constant use ever since.
The police in Chicago welcome the help. Federal troops relieve them of more conspicious patrolling of tourist sites, so they can focus on the really bad neighborhhood where they have deep knowledge, contacts, and block-by-block awareness, just as they did in DC. But several of their spokesmen/bloggers express concern about federal cops facing legal oversight by the dozen-plus anti-cop community boards given broad powers by the Mayor and activist groups. However, being police, anything that helps preserve the peace is welcomed. They're tired of burying 12-year olds. It really is that bad.
"The police in Chicago welcome the help. Federal troops relieve them of more conspicious patrolling of tourist sites, so they can focus on the really bad neighborhhood where they have deep knowledge, contacts, and block-by-block awareness, just as they did in DC."
Hoo Ray! I keep hearing that NG troops are not trained as cops. Nope they are not. But just as described they free up the real cops for the high crime areas. And who's going to snatch a purse in front of a dozen guys in gear?
Is Pritzker resorting to that old rubric, "I'm rubber, you're glue. What you say bounces off me and sticks to you!"
If there's one thing it's safe to conclude, J.B. can certainly stand the heat, especially if the only alternative is to get out of the kitchen.

I don't think people understand how close Illinois is to being a swing State.
Without corruption in the voting process Republicans are going to start taking that state.
If Trump moves the guard and the feds in for 2 or 3 months and gives south side Chicago a few months without crime, then Democrats take it right back to the current conditions, how many people will decide Republicans are better?
Paraphrasing General Hunter Liggett - fatness isn't harmful in leadership as long as it's below the shoulders. Sadly, JB Pritzker fails this condition.
It doesn't take one to know one. An anorexic could see Pritzker is morbidly obese. A blind man would know with a couple taps of his cane that Pritzker's far too wide and would hear him gasping.
