A bullying email that Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent to her then-scheduler in January — in which the mayor demanded more “office time” and repeated sentences over and over — has drawn comparisons to a creepy scene from iconic horror film “The Shining,” the Chicago Tribune reported.
About Mayor Lightfoot being hard to work with and that contributing to hiring/retention problems, see this email where she ripped up documents and sent staff a photo of it to illustrate her message: “I have asked nicely, now I am done.” https://t.co/pCGx8WsSOy https://t.co/PCCX8rEXYk pic.twitter.com/g4c0VQQzEk

Lightfoot’s first email shown above begins with a single sentence, “Since my prior requests for office time are routinely ignored, I am now resorting to this.” That’s followed by five paragraphs, each containing a single sentence repeated multiple times.
“I need office time everyday!” Lightfoot wrote 16 times in a row in one paragraph, followed by another in which she wrote “Not just once a week or some days, everyday!” a total of 10 times in a row.
The Tribune said some observers compared Lightfoot’s email to “The Shining” scene in which Shelley DuVall’s character discovers hundreds of typed book manuscript pages by her now-insane husband (Jack Nicolson) that contain nothing but the phrase, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” — repeated over and over again:
Lightfoot is light in active brain cells no one listens to her or even cares anymore. Impeach her and shut her up!
She is so damn far left, its a wonder she doesn’t fall over.
You leave the Masterpiece “The Shining” Alone !!!
