Wonder Woman is awesome... Oh... And BTW - All of these woman will be voting for or supporting Hillary, a woman who's husband has sexually stocked and assaulted women his entire life and during their marriage from the beginning right through to this very day.

The left finds it very hard to separate fiction and real life.

PS. Women have many ambassadors. Your desire to have a separate ambassador is unreasonable and separatist. Will you want an ambassador for Blacks only? Or muslims only? Bet you’re going to be asking for that soon.

Who’s idea was that?
There are so many, many women who deserve that kind of recognition. It’s insulting to act as though one has to make up such a persona, since none exists in reality.
Let me guess. Somebody got carried away with the latest ‘tweek’ to Wonder Woman’s character, the tweek that has now labeled her as ‘bisexual’. So the Rainbow Flag takes priority over all other lobby causes? Somebody has got some ‘splainin to do! Glad it’s not me.

Which Wonder woman? The old one, the newer, hotter version or the tri-sexual one?

Lynda is only 65. No spring chicken, I admit, but, we are talking Lynda Carter.

Watch. The U.N. will also come up with a Global Gay or Transgender “hero”, too.

The spirit of antichrist prospers at the United Nations.

You’re not a mascot, but a fool for mafia Killary. You like your submission. Be sure to contact Madonna for your STD laced oral deal.

I read Wonder Woman comics as a lad, and I would not put her as an ambassador because she is a pagan goddess (or demi-goddess depending on version) in the origin story.
