Rahm Emanuel appeared Tuesday on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” and wowed the host and audience with his rabid anti-Trump rhetoric. Perhaps jealous of his famous Hollywood power-agent brother, Ari Emanuel, Rahm giddily joined the cacophony of late-night TV anti-Trump snark and, unknowingly, provided Chicagoans a Nero-like vision of a failed leader playing his fiddle as his city smolders, beset by rampant violence, failing schools, and a fleeing population.
Chicago’s besieged residents don’t have the luxury of jetting off to New York for TV appearances... they live in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the developed world. Part of the reason for this carnage is Emanuel’s terrible leadership of the Chicago Police Department. Chicago has suffered over 1,400 homicides, a 70 percent increase over the prior two years with McCarthy in charge. Emanuel owns that increased body count. Some of this violence also clearly emanates from a badly run public school system in which only 26 percent of students are considered, per state testing, ready for the next grade level.

Anyone think Rahm gives a damn about the people?
It’s all about HIHM
100% about the speck in Trump’s eye instead of taking care of the boulder in your own.
Call up the nation guard.
Bring back the death penalty.
Some good advice.
The City of Chicago is laying prostrate after receiving a savage beating from a gang of criminals. Rahm Emanuel sees this as an opportunity to steal its wallet.
In the next democrat take-over of Washington, he’ll be in the lead for power, money, and positions with this kind of publicity.
Until the out of control violence starts affecting other states, let his state foot the bill.
Publish/ film how the BLM protests the 1400 deaths of their bruddahs.
Show them to be the activists that they are!
One of Chicago’s more colorful politicians, Alderman Mathias “Paddy” Bauler, coined that durable maxim “Chicago ain’t ready for reform.”
The tradition lives on. As do the raucous parties.
I left. It’s a toilet.
Lunatic liberals usually look for scapegoats. Rahm is on his 3rd police superintendent, who hasn’t lived up to unrealistic expectations
Rahm is smart to keep the focus on Trump instead of his cesspool of a city. Bread and circuses
Obfuscation. Not that any Chicago public school graduate can spell, fortunate for Rahm. What a stupid, soft schill of an interview. Hit him with some real numbers. Heck, go in to ANY Chicago public school and interview the kids and ask any question, like Leno did with the man on the street thing, and see how stupid these people are. If they weren’t that stupid, he would never be eleceted.

The biggest threat to duh mere. The reason Rahm is the rightwinger in Chicago and as the support of those who have not yet left.
(When I say biggest ... I mean BIGGEST threat to tiny dancer. Someone want to post her picture...but please wait til after lunchtime.)
The truth is that the purpose of Democrats is not to fix, but rather to destroy.
That’s what they do. That’s all they do.
Trump is the Left’s Emmanuel Goldstein, and the late night “comedy” shows are the equivalent of “The Two Minutes Hate” for them.
I left too, after 25-30 very productive, happy years. It’s quite possible to spend one’s early working life in Chicago and do quite well. Being a young, freewheeling renter is one thing. The problem is making it a permanent home. Chicago is no place to buy a home and raise a family — not if you’re middle class. It’s a casually corrupt one-party city.
And remember every house has at least one toilet. Chicago’s toilets are the black neighborhoods. That’s where all the dysfunction and crime is, and the source of Chicago’s reputation as a killing field. Decent people avoid or flee those toilets. Ideally they should be flushed, but the one-party leadership has a creepy fondness for all thing scatalogical.
I don't think this was in Chicago, but you never know. This is a sad example of what the level of real-life math is in a large subset of the black population today (and among many whites).
“Mayor Rahm Emanuel is doing a lousy job on all fronts!”
Maybe, but he is a brilliant, really really smart, intensely bright, absolutely off-the-charts, intellectual, Progressive genius, just like his brothers.
