Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel poses with a youth flashing a gang sign

Let's chalk this up to reckless pandering.  Chicago voters go to the polls next February, and Rahm Emanuel is so panicked that he's a little too eager to pose with a potential black voter.  A gentleman who identifies himself on Facebook as HobMob Taydoe has posted a picture of Rahm doing constituent outreach with him.  The only problem is that Mr. Taydoe, or whatever his real name is, is standing next to Hizzoner flashing a gang sign.

For those who have been living in a mountain cave over the last few years, Chicago is plagued by gang shootings that have made it world-famous for its murder rate.  There is even a website, heyjackass.com, that keeps a running tab on shootings:

NBC Chicago has provided a helpful guide to gang signs on Cook County, but I am unable to definitively figure out which gang HobMob is signaling.  I do see three fingers, but I can’t match colors and fingers precisely.

Is he a Satan Disciple?

In the picture the two of them frame perfectly a cop standing behind them. Perfect picture to add a thought bubble for the cop to!

What is the gang sign? What is he signaling? Thanks.

He is throwing up a pitchfork, meaning he is a Gangster Disciple. Also look at his gym shoes, black and blue, G.D. colors.

An announcement by Pres Trump's DHS eliminated funding for the Chicago-based Life After Hate, which was awarded the money in January 2017 during the closing days of the Obama administration.

Those tax dollars to Obama's hometown---about to declare bankruptcy--- went straight into the pockets of greedy Chicago political insiders.

MEMORY LANE IN CHICAGO: from chicago.suntimes.com ...

In Sept 2013, the daughter of infamous “God D**n America” Rev Wright, and 12 other Democrats were charged with embezzling $16 million in Federal health grants (tax dollars) earmarked for AIDS charities and programs for the poor and needy. More than one of the defendants had direct ties to President Barack Obama.

===============================================

ONCE UPON A TIME IN GANGLAND CHICAGO Rev Jeremiah's Wright's beloved daughter was convicted for looting a $1.25 million state grant which financed a tax- exempt, not-for-profit work and education program called "We Are Our Brother's Keeper," owned by Regina Evans, former police chief of Country Club Hills, and her husband, Ronald Evans Jr.

Back in 6/8/13 Chicago Police Chief Regina Evans (above) pleaded guilty to government fraud and money-laundering related to the misuse of a $1.25 million state grant to the non-profit she ran with her husband, Ronald Evans Jr.

==========================================

Earlier, in October 11, 2011, Police Chief Regina Evans Resigned

COUNTRY CLUB HILLS, Ill. (CBSLOCAL.COM) Country Club Hills Mayor said that negotiations were underway to clear the way for the resignation of police Chief Regina Evans, in office for about two years,

<><> Regina Evans was on (ahem) disability leave since August 2011,

<><> it was earlier reported that Illinois AG's office is suing Regina Evans' n/p over its handling of state job training grant worth more than $500,000.

<><> Evans also signed off on invoices for a controversial summer camp where the campers — including children of aldermen who voted for it — got paid to attend (Chicago-way--"redistribution of income").

<><> Most recently, Evans came under fire for overseeing a 2011 part-time police program where 10 part-time police officers were hired.... bur that many had questionable backgrounds, and weren’t qualified to do police work. They were ordered to turn in their guns and badges (got high-paid city sanitation jobs).

The SouthtownStar contributed to this report, via the Sun-Times Media Wire.

===================================================

Just goes to show: sap-happy Dem/Libs love to say they're "for" their fellow-man---while conniving to make a buck on it.

Ok, that’s the gangbanger’s hand. But where is Rahm’s hand?

[Flaming Conservative]

Some politicians are so stupid and unaware about what goes on, but they don’t miss a trick and are sharp as a tack, when it comes to dirty deals.

LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Rahm Emanuel is poor street urchin, who "accidentally" got into big-time Chicago Democrat politics --- w/ only 10 cents in his pocket, Rahm miraculously became a multi-millionaire overnight.

The Chicago mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job poor Emanuel has coveted since he was a penniless Democrat machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became (1) Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and served a dual role as (2) Clinton's senior White House aide, AND, (3) a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.

After Rahm "accidentally" became a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a Wall Street investment firm......he decided to run for Congress (was there for four terms).

Hard-scrabble Rahm's accidental stumble into politics culminated in Rahm picked as (1) Obama's White House chief of staff .... and a dual role as (2) Obama's hand-picked man at Treasury with an unarticulated "job description."

Later, when he left the WH--penniless, of course---Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago.

Then Rahm happily announced he had "accidentally" raised $10 million for his campaign "in just a matter of weeks."

Golly, I hope the poverty-stricken little bugger did not "accidentally" wire-transfer federal tax dollars offshore at the time he was in a dual role as Obama's COS AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.

Chicago has been on a politician- induced death spiral for years. Once a great city, though. Once upon a time

The reporter is a little confused. Evans was referred to as Police Chief of Chicago. She was formerly a Lieutenant of the Chicago Police Dept. and left to become Chief of Country Club Hills Police. Her husband Ron Jr. Was formerly a Sergeant with Chicago Police and left to work in some capacity with Country Club Hills Police. Ron Jr. Was sentenced to a year for his part of the scheme. free obama bucks fraud

“Emanuel studied ballet seriously as a young man, and he was invited to study with the Joffrey Ballet. Instead, he chose Sarah Lawrence College, where he studied liberal arts and graduated in 1981.”

I looked for an old story on the Blackstone Rangers or whatever they’re called today - and how they worked with democrat alderman... to ‘get out the vote’... But it appears the net has been scrubbed of stories that might make democrats look bad.

Our ‘intelligence’ thugs are work...

MEMORY LANE--Rahm Emanuel takes over Chicago / May 16, 2011

EDITED EXCERPT .... an exciting time in the inbred world of Chicago Democratic politics.... Democratic don, Richard M. Daley ruled for 22 years, inheriting the mayoralty from his father, Mayor Richard J. Daley who held on for a generation. Now the ex-chief of staff of Chicagoan Barack Obama (once a state Senator, now president) was installed. US Treasury Secy Tim Geithner was there, and so was Chicagoan David Axelrod, an O team player.

BTW, Mayor Daley's former chief of staff, Valerie Jarrett, hired Obama's wife, Michelle, to work in Chicago City Hall. Jarret is now ensconced as Obama's chief policy advisor. In Chicago gangland parlance, "chief policy advisor" means "wire-transfer artist".

Mayor Emanuel's innovative ways commenced early on---his organization was getting $50G's for the best seats at the inauguration (mmmm........that accounts for another couple million scammed from Treasury).

The mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job Emanuel has coveted since he was a machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and then a dual role as senior White House aide and Goldman Sachs lobbyist and then (gasp) becoming a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a local investment firm...then a (gag) Congressman for four terms---then White House chief of staff for Obama that helped create the 2010 Republican House landslide.
