Chicago (AP) — Chicago on Tuesday announced a bid to bring the Democratic National Convention that will choose the party’s presidential nominee to the city in 2024. “Hosting the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago will create tremendous opportunities for job creation and business growth,” Lightfoot said, “and I am excited for the chance to show the world why Chicago is an important global city and the epicenter of the Midwest.”
The announcement was accompanied by endorsements from top Illinois Democrats, including Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

I think it’s perfect. Was it 1968?

Corruption seeks out corruption. Maybe not all of them will survive to continue to harm us.

Having Chicago host the 2024 DNC reminds me of the scene in Scary Movie 3, where Mahalik tells the crowd at the Rap Battle to remember to keep the safeties on their guns ON during the show. Ain't want nobody to bust a cap when Lori Lightfoot tells us how much better the future will be when you vote Democrat!

Like 1968, but they get Kevlar in their swag bags. Get the popcorn, watch from a safe distance.

Absolutely a good choice. Chicago, the murder capital of the United States. If I were a delegate, I'd be hesitant to actually show up in person.

Good idea. That means the Democrats are going to have another snoozer "virtual convention." You know, like they had in Milwaukee in 2020 where nobody, including Joe Biden, bothered to show up.
Or if they do have the convention live, remind me to take the "over" on the body count. I can hear it now, "Madam Chairman, the great state of California, with its 842 delegates, cast 671 for Joe Biden. The other 171 were killed on the streets last night."

#1. I was a high school junior in the summer of ‘68 and I made two trips to Chicago that summer, visiting Grant park both times. One about two weeks before the DNC convention and one about two weeks after it. I had thought very little about politics until the second visit. When I asked my father what had happened, he explained that ‘some people’ had disagreed with other people and had destroyed the park ‘in protest.’ I became a Republican that day. Since then, I have steadily taken a step to the right, a step to the right, and another step to the right.
Today, I am a step to the right of Rush. God, I miss that man.

Let's visit 1968 and the Chicago seven again with a little more wood shampooing this time. Cracking skulls of Antifa like in the good old Mayor Daly days.

Democrat covention in Chicago! That is about the stupidest idea yet. Well, for the rest of us it will be good because between speeches Fox can show mobs looting high-end stores and shootings by recent parolees Q'wantezz Patterson and Lasquisha Carter.

I guess because the demosluts don't feel there's enough crime in Chicago. They want to ship more in. This time, they won't have Daley to try and rein things in, they'll have this bug eyed lez be friend. What could possibly go wrong?

Dems will let anyone cross our country's borders, but image if they have a convention in crime-wrack Chicago. There will be a 20-foot electric fence, snipers, and extremely strict entrance requirements.

The delegates better be out of there before the weekend or they’ll get caught up in a war zone. By the way, why is Pelosi going to Ukraine to see death and destruction instead of just visiting Chicago? Last time she did something like this was with Syrian president Assad, “the butcher”, when we had men in the field during the 1st Gulf War and violated US law. Pelosi is making Democrats the war party to make for the Afghanistan debacle. They’ll go to any lengths to get some votes including getting people killed.

The delegates would be in contention for many awards: Darwin Awards for knowingly going into a city known as a war zone and helping us reduce the gene pool of those inclined to do stupid things, and the Guinness Book of World Records for a group garnering the most Darwins in the shortest time. Joe Biden could show up too. Let's Go Brandon!

Perfect match. They should reserve at least one day for all the members to stroll around the city and absorb the local culture.
