John Kerry, tireless in his diplomatic efforts, often came up empty-handed

‘Kerry was on the telephone to various world leaders, trying to find out about a major diplomatic meeting — from which the United States had been excluded.

...

In the end, he was left out of the first successful cease-fire for Aleppo and a major humanitarian rescue operation.’

Thats says it all.

Empty handed
to go along with empty headed.

The sheer stupidity of our politicians and bureaucrats amazes me.

I have often said that if F’ing Kerry were to marry Camilla (Prince Charles’s wife) and had a baby it would look like Francis the talking poop...

Maybe they did, that’s how he got dumped on us!!!

Like Hillary, he confuses miles traveled with real success.

Kerry and Obama would do the world a favor if they played golf the last few weeks before leaving the stage.

So, the LA Times checks in, eh?

We now have a pretty good idea of what the Kenyan said on the Khalidi tape.

Times bastards!

I want what is best for the United States of America, as a free country with a constitutionally-limited government. For these eight terrible years, what was best for America was FedGov irrelevant impotence, and the epitome of that irrelevance is a major peace negotiation where not only is our Secretary of State not invited, but he is scurrying around trying to find out how to crash the party he was intentionally excluded from.

Go Putin! Go Trump! Go Assad! [Okay, Putin concerns me and Assad disgusts me, but neither one hates America with anywhere near the malignant vehemence that Obama does, so I’m cheering for them in these final 22 days of imminent danger.]

Interesting trivia- Did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam?

And let us not forget this lying reprobate’s testimony before congress, accusing our soldiers in Vietnam of slitting throats and chopping off heads.

Got himself a fake purple heart, then didn’t even throw the FAKE purple heart over the fence.

He is a huge zero-burger with no morals. The second he draws his last breath he shall go straight to hell.

He took advantage of a regulation that said if a person go 4 purple hearts (i.e., wounded 4 times) their tour would be cut short. He engineered 4 of them to leave after 4 months.

And empty-headed.

He is the only instance I’ve seen of a military man wearing fatigues that also had ribbons on them. It shows how much a clueless piece of shit he is.

Incompetence: When you truly believe that you can compensate for lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there’s no end to what you can’t do.

OMG he faked FOUR purple hearts? I did not know this.

So here’s my next food for thought.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS??

Why isn’t Mumbles McConnell taking the marbles out of his mouth and arranging a documentary of Kerry’s past? There’s video of Kerry testifying before congress about those poor Vietnam Vets, many of them drafted, coming home to be spit upon.....yeah, I been through that. Why don’t the Republicans create a documentary of Kerry’s very questionable past, his weird purple hearts, the one he threw over the fence not being his?

GET THE SWIFT BOAT VETS!!! They’ll tell us all about it.

Cause if a Republican had done all the damage Kerry did the Democrats would already have created a musical, Nancy Pelosi would tell us we must wait to see how Israel turns out, Reid describing how the guy never paid taxes, Shiela Jackson Lee refusing to talk to him.

The Republicans, if they wanted, could bring Kerry down to a new level.

Let me end by throwing this thought out there....America does not like what is being done to Israel. And if you think it’s for any other reason, know that it’s always best to follow the money.

Americans across the fruited plains are NOT happy with this. Especially the stupid Jews who keep supporting the Dems are not happy.

NOW is the time for the Republicans to make some kind of PR move.

But then the cocktail party invites would dwindle, the media will get mad.

Can’t have that.

Well, to characterize his achievements as SOS:

He always had SOMETHING in his hand...

I am not claiming he 'faked' them. I am saying they were "Band-Aid" purple hearts. After any combat action if there were bruises, scratches or boo-boos, one could go to the doctor and claim they were "combat-related" and caused as a result of enemy action.

I don't think he EVER caught a bullet and I distinctly remember the 4 purple heart thing. In only 4 months.
