Where was this ‘itch when Hillary Clinton had Mommar Gaddafi whacked in a war crime abuse, torture, and murder of a prisoner of war and then went on CBS News to brag about it and laugh?

He had his chance to buy "coup insurance" from the Mafia... er, Clinton Charitable Foundation. It's Gaddafi's own fault for not chipping in like his neighbors did. Even Algeria could come up with half a million dollars.

State has been infiltrated with communists since the 30s.

NOT regrettable. Necessary.

Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said the State Department is "in trouble," with senior leaders who lack "moral clarity"

Yes, I would agree that an agency that flies the so-called rainbow flag alongside Old Glory lacks moral clarity.

It’s the State Department.
We’re not talkin’ MENSA there.
We’re talking folks with “kollege degreez” on such intellectually demanding subjects as “international relations”, etc.

‘ Vacancies at all levels go unfilled..”

And it seems we’re doing just fine internationally. Maybe those positions aren’t needed? Also...you follow the policy of your President. He is the source of all international policy.

The biggest difficulty is that a majority of Statre Department employees (SES) are Clowns -PLANTS. Fire them from State and they just go back to the Clown Factory to be reassigned somewhere else.

Yovanovitch: “The Trump administration uses a different style of diplomacy of which we don’t approve. We, SES employees of the State Department, as best situated to determine diplomacy techniques and implement them.”

Clowns to the left of us...

Good! Let’s shut it down. I’m stunned the place has 70,000 employees. That’s just ridiculous.

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

I missed the part in the Constitution that said Bureaucrats Rule — which is what her statement amounts to. It is surprising for Deep Staters to be so overt about it. The elected President has set a foreign policy based on US interests; the bureaucracy wants foreign policy to be based on their ideology of globalism financed by the US.

“ The policy process has been replaced by decisions emanating from the top, with little discussion.”

She’s never worked a real job.

She has no idea that president IS foreign policy. We elected him. SHE didn’t get elected. If she wants to control foreign policy, she should run for president. Her inability to understand such a basic thing simply proves her incompetence.

She should have had whatever stupid award she was getting snatched right back out of her hands.

Only thing left is cash in a few speaking fees before she is forgotten.

And probably a spot in the regular rotation at CNN.

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

She thinks she is president.


I agree with every word.

I hadn’t paid much attention to the State Dept until the ridiculous House hearings.

It is now VERY apparent to me that the USA State Dept has the attitude that THEY-—NOT ANY PRESIDENT— should be setting policy all around the world.

They all have been there waaaaay too long & have gotten big fat heads about how important they all are.

Clean House, please Pres. Trump.
