The Nazis pulled this dumb number in Germany, amd you see it in all authoritarian regimes. The result: incompetence, corruption, and gross inefficiency. Major GIGO problems.

Male sure to thank a Republican.

Great, just great. For the next two+ years this nation's foreign policy and overseas representation will be run, to an extent, by 25 year old communications majors from large state schools with reputations for party atmosphere and big football stadiums, and little else. The worst thing is that many of these young fools are already deluded enough to think they got their jobs on merit and are competent in their assignments...

For the next two years American foreign policy will be ruled by people who hope to afford male escorts, after the example of Lady G.
