State Department is working to sabotage the Trump presidency.

I generally don't have an issue with this, provided that the State Department doesn't deliberately poison the well with respect what they know that Trump wants to do.

Until January 20, sad to say but Obama is still President and the State Department answers to him. However, I think the State Department does have the right to balk at performing actions which deliberately sabotage the new President's known agenda.

President-elect Trump won't get any help from the State Department in implementing Israeli-relation policies opposed by President Obama before his inauguration. "The short answer is no," State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters. "You have one president at a time."

Frankly, the State Department is correct in this narrow matter - even though the policies that it is currently administering are wholly immoral and against the self-interest of this country. That is, like it or not, obeying the rule of law.

However, in 14 days and about 20 minutes, that will change. I expect that many of those now working at higher levels there will get transferred to the consulate in Thule, Greenland (which doesn't exist yet, but Trump can order the DoD to airlift a few uninsulated double-wides there, and they'll be set up within a day or 2).

That’s OK -Once Trump is inaugurated, there will be cooperation or a serious changing of the guard.

John Kirby sounds like a perfunctory, prissy little caricature yanked out of some wooden Ayn Rand novel, which would be all of them.

[beethovenfan]

Kirby looks like a poof.

[McGruff]

Fire them all and start over again.

Kirby will be out of a job very shortly. Doesn’t really matter what these professional tax payer funded morons have to say.

Well we certainly hope that is true. At least from the current State Department.

He’s making a list,
and checking it twice,
to see who’s been naughty and nice...

Kirby is a PUNK-ASS LIAR!!

[New Jersey Realist]

FAKE NEWS. Of course we only have one president at a time and come the 20th that’ll be Trump and State will fall in line. Come on people!

Horrors, he'll have to wait 2 weeks to formulate plans to follow a 22 year old law. And he knows who the fire.

Who cares what Obama’s State Department will or won’t do? The freaks will be gone in two weeks. The traitors are phasing into irrelevancy. ‘Bye!
