“He thinks he makes policy?”
Apparently all the arrogant SOBs working at embassies feel that way, judging by the testimonies of the last few days.
‘Ambassadors are an anachronism back to the days before modern telecommunication; when messages traveled by quill pen parchment on wooden sailing vessels.
Recall them all and dismiss them, Permanently and save us the six figure salaries x 212 countries. It’s absurd in 2019; when we can nearly project a hologram of the President himself into the offices of whichever head of state needs to be addressed in real time, if a secure line isn’t enough to get the point across.
Every single State Department employee is a 100% waste of money except for the Passport Office, which is a minor data processing center.
This is what happens when terms are extended and or people shuffled around like deck chairs. Same thing happens when people are in control of funds....eventualy they see it as their money.
That’s what the testimony sounded like to me, too.
