EXCERPT

Further, the CPD provides technical assistance to emerging democracies and others interested in establishing debate traditions in their countries. In recent years, the staff worked with groups from Bosnia, Burundi, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, Lebanon, Niger, Nigeria, Peru, Romania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, and the Ukraine, among others.

Good grief. Any debating club could set up a more relevant and evenhanded debating forum that this group of deep state useless incompetent ne'er done thinging hacks could do. It's what the DC swamp has devolved into.

Why would anyone listen to this group of has-been clowns.
