The policies are not hers to set or editorialize. Who the hell does she think she is?

“”””“ It’s important to allow the folks with regional expertise, experience, language skills and relationships to lead in our foreign policy,” she added.”

I’d say her arrogance is shocking, but it’s no anymore.””””””

I shall send a memo to my employees and tell them from now on they will decide how the company operates.

Ever notice how the socialist elite, believes that because they have/had a job or position (especially if appointed and/or reports to someone), that they are the “Pope” of their field and must rule?

But citizens that create & build their businesses are greedy/foolish/tyrannical/expendable?

Yes, that is the left’s MO, always accuse the other side of doing what you are already doing.

You mean the State Dept who is so filled with self important radicals that they really think THEY run the Country?
I have extended family in the State Dept and had no idea until I spent time with him.
Self important radical hiding behind diplomatic immunity.

The whole department should only be about 10% the size it is today.

For all the talk we’ve heard over the years about term limits in Congress, I’d say it is far more important to impose “term limits” in any type of Federal employment. Nobody should be allowed to spend more than five years employee in any Federal government capacity outside the military.

The State Department will do just fine without you.

With every word spoken, she PROVES that firing her was the right thing to do.

She thinks she is president.

The states of New York and California have already seceded by becoming sanctuaries

Spot on. Georgetown is one of the local universities from which they recruit most of their deep state hacks, so it doesn't surprise me that they would give her an award.

In a previous life, I scored in the top 1% of their civil service exam and was invited to Foggy Bottom with roughly two dozen other candidates for an interview, including both individual and small group formats.

It was an interesting experience which gave us ample time to review the resumes of the interviewers as well as interact with the other candidates.

I won't go into great detail, but in general, the interviewers all came from the same group of colleges (including Georgetown) and all had previous experience in the media, the Peace Corps or both. There was near zero background from them in hard business or military disciplines.

Roughly one third of the group was hired and the other two-thirds excused, including me. The group hired had backgrounds similar to the interviewers, same colleges, same background in media or the Peace Corps save one token military guy who had served in an embassy position. The group excused all had backgrounds in the hard businesses or military and didn't go to the same group of colleges. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

Oh, she’s the smartest diplomat on the planet dontcha know. She’s an arrogant know it all, believes herself mentally and morally superior to mere deplorables like us. Screw her and the entire elitist cocktail club surrounding her.

So the State Department is in trouble, Marie? Could that possibly have anything to do with the presence of you and some of the other arrogant aholes being questioned by Congress? If it’s in trouble, why didn’t you do something?

It’s like Biden saying he’s going to fix everything if he’s elected. He’s had 50 years of power in DC, and that was plenty of time to fix stuff.

I’d love to know her net worth and the source of her income. She is another globalist bought off hack. Of that I am almost 100% sure.

Note: When Zelensky became President of Ukraine, he fired ALL 12 Ukrainian ambassadors and replaced them with his own picks.

Nobody should be allowed to spend more than five years employee in any Federal government capacity outside the military.

I'd go one better and say nobody should even be hired unless they have a minimum of five years of experience in the military or the private sector.

With a possible exception for custodial and secretarial type positions providing a bona fide attempt was shown to first get someone from the private sector or military.

Another agency needing shuttering.

And therein lies the difference between all of “them” and all of “us”.

Dominance hierarchies are the natural order of things (yes, Peterson), but we have a 20 year gap of people who were taught the opposite, and there is no coming back from that.

Might as well have been raised by wolves.
