Progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling on the Senate to reject President Biden’s nomination of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to serve as ambassador to Japan, accusing him of attempting to “cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald” in a statement released Wednesday.

The far-left New York Democratic congresswoman, a socialist better known by her initials, AOC, labeled “deeply shameful” the nomination of Emanuel — who previously served as White House chief of staff under President Barack Obama and as a member of the House of Representatives from Chicago.

My first thought on seeing the headline: Who?—Vince Foster? Ron Brown?

Sensational popcorn link.

Thanks very much.

I noted on several that they used red and blue 3-D glasses.

Question: Do Dems look even funnier in 3-D while we’re eating popcorn? I will have to investigate.

You don't know Laquan? He was turning his life around.

Can’t he be Ambassador to Syria, Afghanistan, CUba, North Korea or Venezuela?

I take your point and agree but, in honesty, I believe that only Venezuela still has an active mission but I don't think it is an ambassador post. Personally, I'd send him to Upper Slobovia, but, in truth, they deserve better!

when is she going to call on Dem leadership as ‘deeply shameful’ for the murders of 13 servicemembers at Abbey Gate?

or is she just into wackadoodles that run around the streets with knives?

She has picked a fight with one of the dirtiest political operatives in this country and we can pop some corn and wait for AOC’s Arkanacide. What a ditz. I can’t even imagine the wrath that he is going to rain down on her.

Agree with your comment, but why is ValJ sending him to Japan? Seems like an assignment to get him half a world away from power?
