Well, bye!
WINNING!
always get stationed in the middle of Africa.
The self draining starts.
Award winning what? Traitor?
Good.

A big chunk of the Washington swamp lies in Foggy Bottom so the more career bureaucrats leave in a huff, the better.
Hey Shackleford:
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Ms Award-Winning Jackass!
Don’t let the door.....
Can Trump now move Sessions to Nairobi and appoint a real Attorney General?
This is being reported as if it’s a bad thing?
Good riddance to the DOS hacks
Good riddance, smug, conceited, arrogant State Department hack!
She won an award for what - her groundbreaking work to make Somalia a veritable oasis of peace and prosperity. Potentially depriving Minneapolis of half its cab drivers?
Buh bye Elizabeth
Happy landings in the NGO that promised to make you rich
You know how much search engines are overrated?
I googled Black Ivy deals just because and I get a page full of advertisements using every permutation of those words. It’s the closest thing to printing money without actually printing it.
Good riddance. I also applaud relocating Federal Agencies out of DC. And no, not in state capitols.
The USFS should be out of there, too. Bunch of self important prigs forevermore in EEOC and politically correct meetings. Who if five are agoing to the same seminar drive to the location in five different vehicles, etc. The waste of taxoayer money s horrendous.
The State Dept. is ground zero for the anti-American Deep State.
That or the presidency of whatever U.S. university will bring her aboard to hasten its headlong destruction.
Then google Cheryl Mills Ivy and see....
