There's no other way, Josh. Do it the way men of honor used to do it when they disgraced beyond measure: a last phone call home. A last drink with the lads. Then a closed office door, a pistol in the top right hand drawer. Enter alone. A last nod to the friends. Sit down. A deep breath. Retrieve the pistol, raise it to your temple, a determined, not cowardly, pull on the trigger.
You'll make so many people happier, Josh. Most of all, the advisers and staff of the man who does NOT have to call you rats in the White House for permission to call anyone.

No wonder there is a problem with the failed Obama foreign policy.
State must not talk to foreign leaders without talking to the White House first.

“...”expertise and advice” of career diplomats at the State Department ....”
Trump would be better served by going to a Topeka, Ks telephone book and picking names out randomly and asking for their advice .... I’m sure that he would get better advice that those “career diplomats” that brought us the Arab Spring, Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Egypt, refugees, Mexico, etc.

We can’t think of ANYONE we’d consult with LESS than obama and his islamonazi- infested Snake Dept.

The Obama goons have not figured out that their days of “ruling” are over and that the State Department will be working for Trump.
I think that Trump and his team think that the State Department is either clueless, not aligned with their goals, or is actively going to work against them until it is beaten down, cleaned out, reorganized, and realigned with Trump's vision.
Obama and his team know this and are just taking cheap political shots.

Hay Josh! If we want any sh*t off of you we’ll scrape it off!
To: Nachum
Good advice...IF Trump wants to continue Queen Putt's policies of screwing our allies and wearing out knee pads on our enemies.
Pack your shit, get the F OUT.

Buzz off, Josh. You’re yesterday’s news and I’ve wrapped my old fish in you.

“”President Obama, over the course of his eight years in the White House, has benefited significantly from the expertise, advice and experience of career diplomats at the State Department””
Yeah, we know....the career diplomats working for Hillary Clinton were top notch, weren’t they? Why would anyone want to confer with them about any topic except the “art of lying?” - I’m sure they’re all still employed there in spite of receiving some cuts in pay and demotions..Oh! Those weren’t “diplomats?” Don’t tell them that.
To: Nachum
An editorial on another site quoted Senator Jesse Helms as stating that the State Department needed to establish an America desk there to remind them of what country’s interests they represent.

These white hut losers are a barrel of laughs. "Take advice" from them? LOL. Who really gives a crapola about what they say about anything? After they have such a great job...NOT!

I remember when Obama was invited to a meeting of liberals in Gordon Getty’s mansion in Pacific Heights way back at the beginning...but in line with Obama’s stature, he had to enter the mansion through the servents’ entrance............

These people are so darn funny. Josh, go stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye and repeat, “Nobody gives a flying fig what you think. You’re done. Go quietly into the night without bringing further embarrassment upon yourself.”
To: Nachum
As a retired member of the Foreign Service (and Army), the liberal wacky's at State seem to hate the Military Services more than Republican Presidents. Tthey are going to lose their collectivists' minds with a retired military officer at SecState - I remember how they hated Colin Powell....
The entire reason we send diplomats to conduct official government business is so that the two leaders can clarify any misunderstandings, or they can have their Ambassador/Chief Diplomat advise both world leaders.

I hope that Trump’s fans at the inauguration savagely boo, denounce, and insult homobama when homobama appears on stage. I want these fans to permanently damage whatever happiness zerobama has left in that dark soul of his.

So, I’d like to see the records where Obama consulted with Bush before he was President.
Until then Josh...
