People wonder why anything would function properly in Brandon Johnson’s crumbling utopia? Under his leadership, things have gone from bad (under Lori Lightfoot) to worse. We have a video illustrating that in full color. Sure, it’s a month-old, but you get the idea. We shared it because we should all be able to rubberneck at the disaster that is Chicago CTA trains (and the buses likely aren’t much better).
This guy gets it:
This video shows every viewer EXACTLY what I wrote about.
You’re an executive who flew into O’Hare to evaluate opening a new office here. You opt to take the L to get downtown after being told how safe and effective it is.
What’s your opinion of Chicago and the CTA now?

That’s the Blue Line limping toward O’Hare—the supposed “world-class” gateway to the greatest city in the world (lol).
Count ’em… there are scores of tragedies: those overdosed on drugs, passed-out homeless, severe mental illness cases, or the special Chicago combo platter of all three on one car, turning that train car into a rolling zombie apocalypse mobile home. Actually there were a couple of those.
If you don’t like your wife and don’t want to pay for a divorce, tell her the CTA is safe and cleaned up and encourage her to hop on and use the CTA for her transportation needs! Best of all, good guys can’t carry their guns on these trains… because that’s against the law!
Thank heavens.
Behold Mayor Conehead’s progressive paradise: public transit reimagined as a free, no-questions-asked rolling shelter because actual housing solutions, basic hygiene enforcement, or—gasp—police presence might offend someone’s feelings. Why build beds when you can just let the L become exhibit A for why “defund adjacent” policies turn trains into biohazard zones? Why patrol when you can virtue-signal about “equity” while your constituents dodge needles and human waste on their morning commute?
And then this haircut-challenged clown has the nerve to cry foul when Trump floats cutting tens of millions in transit funding? Cry us a river, Brandon. Your “safer, more affordable” Chicago already looks like a third-world failed state on wheels—mobile fentanyl dens rattling past boarded-up storefronts while you chase headlines about snowplows named “Abolish ICE” and pretend the real crisis isn’t the literal human wreckage you’ve enabled.
Newsflash, Conehead: priorities aren’t optional. Clean up your rolling catastrophe before begging for more federal cash to prop up the mess you made. Or better yet—resign and let someone who’s not allergic to reality take a swing at saving what’s left of the city before it fully collapses into the lake.
Chicago: once the city that works, now the city that reeks. Thanks, Brandon. Real classy.
