Cook Countys chief watchdog has concluded that more than $330,000 in property tax breaks and refunds that Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker received on one of his Gold Coast mansions in part by removing toilets constituted a scheme to defraud.

Didn't HItlery say it best -- what did you expect her to do, stay home and bake cookies? And guess who Hitlery is campaigning for right now?
I'm SHOCKED!!!
I’ve been washed down the sink of your conscience
In the theater of your love I lost my part
And now you say you’ve got me out of your conscience
I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart

I always said the Pritzkers were full of shit. No toilets proves this.
