AOC says she ‘probably’ would not take UN post in Biden administration
[NYPOST] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
said she’d likely turn down an offer from Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids....
to become the ambassador to the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
, although she admits it would be an easy commute.

"Probably not," the progressive lightning rod told the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

— even though its headquarters is in the Big Apple.

"That was the one perk of this," she said. "I would get to stay home."

The freshman politician’s name was raised in a column in the Times last month about whom Biden should appoint to his "national unity cabinet" to bring together partisans from Democrats on Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
’ left to Republicans on Sen. Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...
’s right.

AOC endorsed Sanders in the 2020 presidential election and said she would vote for Biden when the Vermont independent dropped out of the race.

But she might have to hold her nose to do so.

"I think the fact that he is an older white man kind of has a Santa Claus soothing effect on a lot of traditional voters," she said. "I’m convinced that Biden could essentially adopt Bernie’s agenda, and it would not be a factor — as long as he continued to say things like ’malarkey.’ And just not be Trump."

#1 Not Bee? Back to zero today. Still...she didn't really say these things, did she?

"That was the one perk of this," she said. "I would get to stay home."

WTF?

#3 if any Santa Claus did the kinds of things that Mush-Brain Joe has been caught on camera doing, that Santa Claus would've been found in a dumpster, beaten to death by angry parents

#5 Can't get a better illustration of how Biden represents nothing but power than Republicans lining up to take office in his administration. The never-Trumpers are politically homeless and have taken to the Democrats now that Trump kicked them out.
