    When has Breitbart ever apologized for its fake news?

    I forgot to add the State Department to the list of the OP. It's falling apart under Trump, but of course, he is the "only one that matters." He doesn't need 'em.

    So even expressing disgust or favor has been turned into a negative by cons.

    Who gave cons the authority to declare what is or isn't virtue signaling?

    It's a disaster. Not enough people to do the jobs and no hurry to fill the vacancies. Elizabeth Shackelford is right.

    Um, calling out Lyin' Ted is a legitimate means to advancing one's political career. Because, he lies!

    I don't think people understand the ramifications of that. Diplomats are warning that America's power around the world is quickly diminishing.

    But beyond that, anyone rational should look at Trump's declaration that he is the "only one that matters" - his explanation for why we shouldn't be concerned about the dismantling of the State Department - as a clear sign of someone who is not fit to lead. I don't care if you're on Einstein's level in terms of world affairs (which, of course, Trump is not) - you cannot understand and formulate policy regarding the incredibly complex and diverse global politics without an organization like the State Department. You can't do something like that alone.

    You need to read my OP from this morning.

    A well regarded [by the left, at least] NYT pundit was forced to concede that Trump’s foreign policy is surprisingly good [to him and the Trump haters, at least].

    And I’ll tell you why Trump should and is dismantling the State Department: it’s infested with characters that don’t know what the hell they’re doing. The State Department was instrumental in the foreign policy catastrophies of the last eight years—-and beyond.

    Remember when Trump was going on about how our leaders were incompetent before the election? That is what he was talking about.

    Hell will freeze before Thingy would ever say anything good about Trump.

    You got me there, CrazyWreck. Breitbart's second only to Inforwars as far as being the worst of the worst so why do people believe it?
