American nightmare running scared

Their cruelty is only eclipsed by their absolute stupidity. The Chicago Bulls are the 3rd most popular team in international merchandise sales and one of the most known franchises around the globe. Wearing a Bulls hat anywhere in the world does not make you a gang member!

The guy who closed down 50 public schools as mayor of Chicago and privatized away city services while covering up the police murder of a Black teenager is now trying to claim the mantle of defending education for children in the US. Joke shit.
