He’s not handling retirement well. Maybe he should find a hobby.

Somebody better check on him….

Fake friend? He’s just tying his shoe to take the “first step” in ethics reforms!

Luis Arroyo is a man who has much wisdom and powerful friends. Listen to Luis.

Tying-up a few loose ends

I dunno, you get caught on a wire on friends, they might say ya did something-something in the back.
Projection is like that.

Aww, poor baby. Did someone hurt your corrupt feelings? /s

He should be in jail for all his corrupt acts.
Comment by Corruption in Illinois Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 9:59 am
So… you got caught doing something, and your concern is “fake” friends?
Projection… again.

“I can’t believe you did this to me. Do our matching hoodies mean nothing to you?”
Comment by Montrose Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 10:05 am
Do the friends of Luis Arroyo also believe this?

And I offered to give him $2,500 a month
Comment by OneMan Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 10:08 am
Don’t worry Luis, they won’t give you shoelaces where you are going.
As an aside: This might be an opportune time for his lawyers to remind him that he is currently out on a recognizance bond, and to ask him if he would like to stay that way.

yes, he’s caught on tape bribing someone and “fake friends” are the problem.
he’s just awful.

Smiling Faces, Pretend To Be Your Friends. Too bad you got caught.

Everyone who has ever had a conversation with him ever probably just tugged their collar in unison.
Comment by NIU Grad Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 10:12 am
“Fake friends”, “cooperating witnesses”, “whistle blowers”, are all the cause of the corruption.
Why are the 2 “friends” wearing hoodies?
Comment by Henry Francis Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 10:14 am
The infuriating aspect of this scandal is that he thinks he deserved all this corrupt income. He sees people like Mike Madigan do legal corruption and he wondered how he could game the system too.

“Let me take care of that shoelace for you. By the way, did you notice you happen to be standing on $2500 in cash?

The most dangerous creature on this earth is . . . a Corrupt Politician.

It’s a short drive from a massive sense of entitlement to a massive sense of paranoia.

“There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your former self.“
Being a caricature and embracing the simple of what people think is allowing yourself never to be a better person.
This picture says so much about character, not just the simple ignorance of its meaning.

A crook feeling sorry for himself is, in and of itself, comedy gold.

Rich I got on here and saw this about Fake Friends. It was good to see you and Jim and Alan Monday at my old grade school. Thanks again for being a real and true friend to my brother Steve Schnorf and the time you spent with him. You were a true friend.- Marty Schnorf

Corrupt politicians playing the victim: The New Normal.
Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 11:08 am
Louie was always a caricature. An inept buffoon that was consistently a clown show in committee, on the floor, et. al.
The Speaker through him a bone and made him the Chair of an appropriations committee and his lack of knowledge on the subject matter at hand and total inability to answer even softball questions was legendary. Legislators literally had and over/under on how many times he would say “I don’t know, or I can’t answer that question”.
Perhaps worse than the crime . . . . .Louie wasn’t smart enough to understand that it is wrong.

It looks like he wants to make a visit to 219 S. Dearborn so the conditions of his bond can be changed. I hope the prosecutors will oblige him.

The Farmer and the Fox from Aesop playing out now? I think this Arroyo thinks his tail was set on fire.

Would anyone participating in yesterday’s poll who voted Disagree wish to change their vote at this point?
Comment by Father Ted Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 11:54 am
Sounds as if he’s not ready to take personal responsibility for his actions, instead of blaming someone else.
Comment by anon2 Wednesday, Nov 6, 19 @ 11:56 am
Did Arroyo hold himself out to be the tax payer’s friend, the public’s friend, his constituent’s friend? There’s your “fake friend”, in that context he’s right.
