Oh, you've seen the dynamic, I'm sure, that there is this virtuous redistricting from time to time,

this tactical use of redistricting areas to make sure that voters are well represented,

that there's equality or maybe even equity.

And it's a peaceful exercise that's taken through thoughtfully with great sobriety nonpartisan no political talked about this political

ran a story this was um their headline democrats try to separate their tactical use of redistricting

from that of republicans tactical use and right there on the cover is a picture of J.B. Pritzker. He's the dictator of

Illinois. He was the dictator of Illinois during one of the most, well, tactical or maybe

strategic or maybe complete redistricting of any state in the country. But the political also

had a different view. And this is when Republicans were doing this.

Ready for this? This is from March 3rd or March 14th, 20203, the other one from just this year.

Here we go. Republicans are ready to plow ahead with ambitious gerrymandering despite

previous reprimands from state courts now that they've elected judges who are

less likely to thwart their plight what's that like to work in an organization like that

uh that masquerades is a news organization what's it like to know that you switch out the players

and the terminology based upon who's doing what? What's it like to publish that and know that

people like me are going to grab that and point to that and have all sorts of fun talking about

that? What's it like to take an organization like the politico and rub its face so far in

its own filth that it can't look up and see anything but its own filth do you know what the politico does

one of the things their business model entails they have these get-togethers what they have is super

important people like j b pritzker and hillary r Hillary Rodham Clinton come in and speak and they go up

on a stage and they get interviewed by one of the really robust journalists with the Politico.

And they ask tough questions. And you can pay 1500 to 3,000, maybe 5,000 bucks to a tent.
