Where are the "professionals?"

We have a State Department that has been a "fuster-cluck" from the get-go, an executive branch that doesn't talk to each other, a roller-coaster staff of advisers that have dubious credentials and experience, and a chief executive that is a master in the "art of the deal" - mostly through bankruptcy manipulations and screwing over contractors.

And THIS is what is leading our program to ensure world peace with a third-world nation led by an ego-driven dictator?

And there were actually people suggesting that IQ45 should be nominated for a "Peace Prize?" Seriously?

My GAWD, what have we gotten ourselves into?

people will realize how much of a "crime" it was that Hillary Clinton didn't get elected POTUS and how much her "loss" injured our country. Trump/GOP is why we can't have nice things in this country. It would be nice if a large number of voters get some common sense knocked into them and decide that we all want and deserve better than Trump/GOP

On the up side, if u can teach yourself a second language, when the next democratic administration needs to rebuild State, you could get yourself a job for not a lot of work on the front end (if you're otherwise qualified).
