Every radio station in the city is preempting regular programming on Monday night to carry a Rahm Emanuel press conference.

I've never believed radio is dead. It is now.

He, along with Dan Bernstein and family, will be rounded up by Trump along with most of Skokie, to "assist" in the erecting of a TRUMP sign on the front of the Shalom Temple in Lakeview, after which it'll be lampshade time in the valley.

Bruce Rauner announced his plans to hijack every television signal in Illinois to do some talkin' about the spendin' we're doin' and stoppin' that so's we can get to shakin' up Springfield.

WFMT's pledge drive does not stop for Rahm.

Are questions to Rahm about his sons drug deal gone bad and subsequent police gag order about it off limits?

Dangerous undertones in that statement.

hahahahahha oh my god! this is purportedly some "town hall meeting" where rahm gets to "have a town hall meeting" and "we" get to ask him the burning questions inside of us, cuz you know this isn't some sort of power-play/vanity-move where rahm just decided to hijack 30mins of chicago's airwaves to address his subjects and tell us what's what... no, this is an important way to open up a line of communication between us and our mayor.... in convenient infomercial format!

so the first "question" from "an actual listener" was something like "Trump doesn't like sanctuary cities and vows to cut funding.... chicago's a sanctuary city.... how will this affect us?" --- SERIOUSLY! that's right! rahm emanuel is effectively a giant kaiju towering over the city of chicago inviting the peasantry out to have an "open and frank dialogue with him" and the first question that anyone can ask is "HEY IS TRUMP GONNA SCREW UP OUR ABILITY TO KEEP BRINGING IN REFUGEES?!" -- hahahahahah holy shit this is amazing. the only thing funnier than the actual concept of this being the #1 burning question on the mind of chicagoans is that rahm's answer LITERALLY CONTAINED "DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!" --- you know, a phrase that you often use to make fun of people.... except that rahm actually said it after his platitudes about his immigrant grandpa and rah rah rah.





ah well, you knew that rahm's got bigtime "juice in the game" when he can pretty much show up and tap mayor-for-life daley on the shoulder and go "hey buddy, clean out your office... it's my turn now!" and que sera sera...

...and now bill kurtis is openly hoping that this is the first of MANY of these stupid rahm progragandamercials? DIVERSITY, and uhh, our unprecedented 100% open and frank "Radio Town Hall Meetings" ARE OUR STRENGTH!
