>throw a bunch of new blue voters into Wisconsin
Haha fuck no, how about just separate Chicago from the rest of the state?
>>130853818
How dare those urbanites blame the failure upon the whole state. It's only the damn cities that have caused it fiscal problems.
>>130854446
I was going to say, everyone knows the big city always feels contempt for the surrounding area, but rarely do they spell it out so clearly.
>you need to pay for our decades of preposterous social experiments and African-level corruption!
>>130853818
how about we just strip Illinois of statehood, and make it another Puerto Rico with no say in US politics and no gibs?
>>130853818
>Iowa almost gets a coastline
hahahahaha very funny joke trib hahahaha
>>130853818
>implying wisconsin wants fibs
please stay go
Oh and for any anons wondering what exactly is happening
Several attorneys for the state believe that 100% of the state monthly budget will be going to court required payments starting in July. Literally no fucking money
>>130856184
The state hasn't had a budget in 2 years.
>>130853818
Why dont they just drop a few fuel air bombs on chicago during "reall nigga hourz" to make sure the plague is purged
>>130856433
Well closer to 3 now, but the mandated payments will fuck the state completely
>>130856565
>Well closer to 3 now,
I still don't understand how that's allowed to happen.
>>130853818
As a wisconsinite, please don't stick us with chicago. I fucking hate illinois people.
>>130856666
>those digits
WEW
but basically Madigan, who has been the speaker of Illinois house for ages, is a super liberal and in control of most of the liberal politicians. Rauner, a republican, is voted in as governor few years ago. Madigan refuses to cooperate with Rauner because he wants another corrupt democrat who he can easily bully/control as governor and thinks this budget issue will force Rauner out.
There is also the shitshow of pension and other obligations that the state has just been deferring for ages coming to head now.
Just give it to PA for Greater Pennsylvania Reich
>>130853818
>>130853818
Personally i believe we should use mining equipment to physically excise the entire state and carry it via helicopters to California.
Then we physically drop Illinois on it.
That would be cool.
>>130857043
Shit's been a corrupt mob state for decades and decades and decades.
Why is it allowed to continue?
Can Chicago break off and become a separate state instead?
I think I speak for Indiana as a whole when I say this..
"FUCK OFF you made your mess now you get to clean it up REEEE"
>>130857209
bump for takeshi's castle
>>130853818
It'll fuck up your flag though, i mean, 50 stars for the 50 states. When one goes off it'll be 49, how do you rearrange that ?
>>130853818
the state that gets our niggers loses
>>130856666
hail allah
>>130857535
Let Puerto Rico become a state.
>>130857595
fuck no
Split Texas
>>130853818
Fuck Chicago. You broke Illinois, and now you want to leech off surrounding states. Urbanization was a mistake.
>>130857595
Or Israel for that matter :)
>>130856013
This.
>>130853818
Good, now we can make Puerto Rico or DC a state without having to change our flag
>>130857535
You fucking idiot, Puerto Rico is becoming a state now, it would actually work out perfectly cos you don't even need to change the flag.
>>130857535
We split either NY or California into two states.
>>130857825
>, Puerto Rico is becoming a state now
only if the republicans are downies
>>130856666
>>130857043
Trump needs to direct the FBI to put Madigan under scrutiny. Shouldn't be too hard to find enough dirt to give that fucker the chair.
>>130853818
Send all the niggers to israel
>>130853818
You can have leftist ideology or you can have the laws of economics. You cannot have both.
>>130855834
>The unincorporated US territory of Illinois
Has a nice ring to it. Sure people in Chicago would bitch about not having federal representation, but for down staters it'd be business as usual.
>>130857284
This. Pic related is from the 2014 gubernatorial race, and even that was one of the closest margins in Illinois history. Turning Cook County into a federal district and leaving the rest as Illinois would solve the financial issues. Neo-Illinois would basically be another Indiana or Iowa.
i say chicago becomes its own state, the rest of us continue to be illinois. with out chicago, we'we're mostly red anyway
>>130853818
Why the flying FUCK would I want Chiraq in Wisconsin? Give it to Kentucky, they're a bunch of degenerates.
>>130858528
Can you imagine?
You know they would meld it into some giant state size ghetto, with beloit and milwaukee.
>>130853818
Excuse me, but I believe Illinois is the ancestral land of Ohioans and rightfully ours.
>>130853818
just cut all funding to the city of chicago and everything will be allright
>>130858528
Fuck you man. We don't want that shit. Why don't just nuke Chicago and leave the rest of Illinois alone.
>>130858330
>>130857284
Like >>130858296 says. Chicago should be split from Illinois and made into some federal district like Washington DC.
>>130853818
>TFW Indiana actually gives up land in order to get rid of "the region"
>Chicago and environs become a lawless land controlled by gangs
>>130853818
>Wisco gets Chiraq
>is turned perpetually blue
>home to Wisconsin Bears
no thanks
make Chicago an independent city-state. Surely they'll be fine without all the rural and suburban retards holding them back
It's probably a good idea, except Chicago and the surrounding areas should be made into a US territory instead of being absorbed into another state that they will suck the blood out of.
>>130853818
>and everyone who lived in IL clapped
>except for those faggots in cook county who go to NIU on daddies dime
>>130858985
This. It's perfect. Two blue senators from chicago, two red from IL.
>>130853818
>>Dissolve Illinois.
I would agree with that but only literally with some kind of acid
>>130856834
Same man, same
>>130853818
Fuck chicago. We dont want it.
-Wisconsin.
>>130858086
It'd be easier to send them to Europe. They would pay for the whole thing.
>>130857595
>Let Puerto Rico become a state.
>>130857650
>fuck no
>Split Texas
No. California should split so the Jeffersonians can be free.
>>130853975
Yes.
>>130855794
You guys are meth addicted subhumans
This is actually Africa
>>130853818
Sounds like a Jewish plot to spread the niggers out to the surrounding states, none of which are going to want Chicago. Just let it fail and become an apocalyptic playground.
It would be nice if they were able to get the surrounding states to accept the mess, since it would mean one less blue state, but I doubt they would want it.
>>130853818
As a cook county resident, Im all for it
Good luck getting another state to take all our nogs and spics tho
maybe we can send them to st louis and nuke it
>>130853975
I really wish this happen
>>130859831
I'm also a cook county resident and never see minorities because I can afford to live in a gentrified area
If you're a loser, why not spare everyone your negativity and move to a place more your speed, like North Dakota
>>130853818
>click on John Kass to view bio
>usual Jewdar training protocol
>turns out he's of Greek descent
and he's writing about Illinois being "a fiscally broken state"
ahahahahahaha what a joke
>>130857650
Why dont we better split your fucking skull, you must be from rhode fucking island
>>130857284
Honestly, big cities need to just have a wall built around them and be declared entirely separate from "rural and suburban retards".
strict border control wherein all trade between the two is put under serious scrutiny.
"okay big city, here's your water, food, fuel, what have you got?"
"iPads, a hip young marketing team specialising in social programs, and a currency we literally made up with absolutely no material backing"
>>130853818
>the lengths american journalists go to avoid mentioning race
It's the niggers, you dumb motherfuckers. It's the niggers. The niggers (and the spics too) are the problem. They destroyed Haiti, and Zimbabwe, and Detroit, and LA, and California, and Chicago, and Illinois, and on and on and on. And they will eventually destroy all of America unless stopped.
>>130853818
Thanks Obama!
Those borders are disgusting.
>>130853818
Wtf? Chicago in fucking Wisconsin?
That's the reason I am where I am.
Fuck that place.
>>130859976
You realize that youre the problem with illinois right?
You should be using your money to remove them, not hide from them
