Report: Kabul Embassy Staff Had Trump Piñata Set for Hillary Victory

May Jeong’s Friday feature on Afghanistan for Politico opens with a telling vignette of the scene in Kabul’s U.S. Embassy on Election Day 2016, mid-day in the far-off Afghan capital.

“The basement was dominated by State Department employees, who are officially barred from political activism while living abroad but tend to support Democrats,” Jeong relates. “[S]ome, anticipating a Hillary Clinton victory, were even calling the occasion a party. On the wall hung a Donald Trump piñata.”

Jeong describes the party crowd as “American expatriates, Afghan elites and others who had managed to scare up invitations.”

As at countless liberal campus haunts, mainstream newsrooms, and coastal elite fêtes across the United States, a darkness spread across the room as it became clear that “this future president,” as Hillary had recently anointed herself on Twitter, would almost certainly never be. Jeong writes:

Every Foggy Bottom swamp troll should’ve been given their walking papers on 1/20/2017.

Fire them and recall the ambassador - before my retirement from State these tolerance would have been recalled to Washington en masse.

A few years with NO INCOME will bring these 7th century

It’s hard to win a war when your own State Department, Ambassadors and embassy staff are rooting for the enemy.

Sadly, it ain’t just the state department. Probably still some clintoonians in place. Nearing retirement but still causing damage. And the lyin’ king legacy will be underground for a long time yet.

And yet here we sit 8 months in and out of 600 jobs that need confirmation only 147 confirmations have been done.

Hang on! Could this help explain,among other things,why AFSCME always supports Rats and why the District of Columbia always goes 90-10 for the Rat Presidential candidate?

Take away Military protection.

Yes, I am that petty. (I hate the State Department and hate them worse after eight years of the Obama/Hillary Amdin.)

I assume they used it anyway as part of their primal scream therapy.

Trump’s election night victory was sweeter than honey especially witnessing the effects of deflated arrogant lieberals in much deserved misery. Evil was delivered a defeat that night.

Get rid of 300 jobs that need confirmations and make the rest work for a living.

No doubt they will attend the/a “scream at the sky” event on 11/8 to express their displeasure that DJT is President. Unless there’s still turmoil from the supposed antifa violence kick off on 11/4. Then there may be screaming for another reason.

There is only one way to cleanse a Government of domestic enemies.

Pol Pot style.

This is what makes Trump victory especially sweet, they all thought Hitlery was going to win. Hitlery was so sure she even had a fireworks display all set to go off in the liberal cesspool of the east coast New York city. This is another reason why I cannot stand the left: If she won they would have been shoving it right our faces every single day, the firework shows, they would have had school children singing the praises of Hitlery, parades, TV specials, how she is for “the women and children” over and over and over and over and over and we would have taken it. That’s the big difference between us and the left: We take it they scream and cry non stop. 8 years of Obama BS we stoically took and the second Trump takes office these crybabies immediately call for his impeachment. People in CONGRESS calling for his impeachment! F them!

Remember that fictional tv drama show, or at least the buzz/promos, about Foggy Bottom employees going through training and being shipped off to embassies?

IIRC, it came out, however briefly, when HRC was made SOS.

I never watched it, but I just found the timing of what I expect was liberal propaganda a bit too convenient.

The State department went from representing the US to other countries to representing other countries to the US. This shift from superpower mentality to “you can have whatever ever you want, but that’s my final offer,” negotiating style leads inexorably to Obama’s “leading from behind.”

It began, arguably, with the nonsense of “compassionate conservatism” which reflected the notion that all cultures are equal, thus the US is as unlikely to be in the right as is Nigeria.

Foggy Bottom needs fumigation.
